and from one to two feet in length
passed up the river last Tuesday. Down
by the ice house they came close to the
shore and afforded sport to our local
nimrods, who kept upa continual bonn

any visible results. The area covered
by tho shoal would equal at least two

News and Notes.

WASHINGTON, Oct. BY direc-
tion of the Secretary of War w.
Howard Green. colored man, was
enlisted in the Signal Corps and as.
signed to duty at Fort Myer. Some
months ago lively discussion took
place over the reported refusal of the
Chief Signal Officer to permit the
enlistment of Green in the SIGNAL
Corps. General ITazen said to day
that he had not refused to permit
the enlistment of this colored man
after having passed the necessary
examination, but that it was neces.
sary to await the decision of the Sec
retary of War in the matter, there
being no precedent for the admission
OF colored man in the Signal Ser
vice. "There are four regiments in
the army set apart exclusively for
colored men," said General lIazen,
'and this was the first instance of a
colored man enlisted elsewhere"
The reports of anticipated trouble
among the men at Fort Myer on ac.
count of the enlistment of Green
were denied by General Hazen.
