A REORGANIZATION.
Important Changes I'm the Adjutant Gen.
erals Once.

The various changes in the personnel OF the
Adjutsnt Generals Department OF the Army,
ending with the relief OF Col Henry c. Wood
from duty in this city, have, il seems. all been
tending 10 q general reorganization of the
work Of that bureau a. performed in the De-
partment Offices here. Heretofore the work
has been divided among six assistant adjutant-
generals-Cols. kelton. Green and Wood, and
Majors Sheridan, Ward and Schwau.
Gen. Drum yesterday issued an order divid-
ing the work Of his Department into two
branches-that Of the regular organization Of
the Army, and that pertaining to all matters
connected with the volunteer service.
Col. John c. kelton was given charge and
supervision Of the three branches OF the former
ofhce-miscelaneous, appointment, commits
mission and personal and enlisted-which en-
braced all records of the regular military es-
Enlistment Col Chauncey Mckeever was
ordered TO take charge OF and supervise the
work of the enlisted volunteer. pension. and
volunteer service branches. which embrace all
rolls and other records of the volunteer forces
which have been from time TO time called into
active service. BY this arrangement the du-
ties Of Col. Greene. who was relieved from DUTY
in the War Department last month. fall upon
Col. Kelton. and those OF Major Ward are as
sumed nv Col. Mckeever. The work OF other
assistants will practically be directed by these
two officers. Major M. v. sheridan still re-
mains nominally on duty at army headquar-
tiers, though Col. Vincent is performing the du-
ties OF assistant adjutant general, and no order
has as yet been issued assigning him TO any
other duty.

VIII Have 5000 Votes In the State.
Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
New HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 2-The. thorough
canvass Of the state made by the prohibition
league gives Fisk $500 votes and Camp for
governor 10000. Camp, the prohibitionists
say, will run ahead of the national ticket be-
cause he is well known as one Of the leading
philanthropists in Connecticut, and because
many republicans will vote for
Harrison and the other nominees on
their ticket, but not for Buckley, repub-
lican candidate for governor, because
Of his political and personal reputation. Col.
Marvin Knowlton, OF Willimantic, prominent
prohibitionist, has visited 122 of the l67 towns
of the state. From his own observations and
from the information furnished by correspond
ents in the 167 towns, he is confident that the
prohibition vote will be ZOO, and has received
positive pledges Of over 5000 Camps vote he
puts at 1000. The result, he says, will be that
Cleveland will get the electoral vote Of the
state.

lished tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine 4 Co., will
saw: THE weather during October in the main
was unfavorable for gathering cotton and much
less favorable than last year. The complaint is
general of too much rain, which had damag-
ing effect on the crops. Frosts have fallen at
periods during the month, but, with only two
exceptions, no injury to the crop has been
sustained from this cause. The unfavorable
season, however, has had its effect, and the
prospective yield of the district, which in our
report made last month indicated an increase
of s per cent over last year, now indicates de-
creased yield compared with 1887 Of per
cent. The estimates OF the prospective yield,
which our correspondents have given, are
based on the lateness Of the season and the
slowness of the bolls in opening, especially in
the bottom lands. The present favorable
weather may improve the outcome Of the crop,
but with the most favorable conditions the
yield within the Memphis district will not be in
excess of last year. The picking is progressing
rapidly, and up TO date 431S per cent of the
crop had been gathered Labor, however, is
scarce in many localities Of Mississippi and Ar
kansas.
