Mold A Statement of the Policy
OF the Department.

An interesting activity is noticeable in
certain orders issued this afternoon by the
War Department. They relate to the en-
listment of soldiers, and 1t appears that the
powers of the recruiting officers have been
diminished la some respects, but In the
more important regards they have been en-
larged.
The orders are particularly interesting
In view Of the recent announcement or the
orders for the manufacture OF an unlimited
number OF shells. the other activities in
The Navy Department and the general iur
preston that something is going to happen
in which gunpuwcer will be the explosive
factor.
No matter what the ultimate object Of
the department may be, and il is not
as certain at all today, It Is the evident
purpose To keer the army up to the BOB.
notch requirement, and that the men shall
net he band-box soldiers.
The following extracts from the order are
interesting:
Recruiting at all stations will still be
ment Of exceptionally desirable recruits
and former soldiers with good characters,
who fulfill all requirements. Other re-
strictions heretofore governing enlist
ments OF white recruits at CITY stations
are witbdra wn.
Until further orders original enlstnIents
OF colored recr uits will not be mad at CITY
stations except To fill actual vacancies in
regiments as hereinafter provided, or by
special authority from the adiutant gen
eral of the army.
1t is the policy OF the department to de-
velop recruiting at military posts. Post
commanders VIII cause constant efforts to
increase the number OF enlistmcnts OF de
sirable men at their respective posts, and
regimental commanders viii not call upon
recruiting officers at city stations to sup
ply vacancies which can be filled by local
enlistments.

When ex-Gov. william Sprague, OF Rhode

two and three years old, respectively.
During the long separation the girls had
been restrained fIom communicating di

with any OF his relations. Their mother
guarded them closely in her Washington
home, but few weeks ago Portia, the
youngest daughter, broke the long silence
between them and their father.
Pcrtia is about twenty years old. and
sometime ago was appointed Ia a posi- tiun
fnone OF the departments. She soon learned
that she was able 10 maintain herself

''Oh, father" cried Portia, as she threw
her arms around his neck. II have heard

MONEY FOR THE SOUTH.
Large Shipments of Currency to
Move the Crops.

New lork, Aug. 31.-A canvass
of the leading banks in this city
shows that large sums of money
are being shipped south daily to
help move the crops. One of the
most prominent financial institu-
tions here has sent about $7OO,-
600 since the middle of last week
and orders are still coming in.
The Sub Treasury at this city has
not had as many currency orders
as usual, but this is attributed to
the lateness of the crops in the
crops in the southwest. Altogeth-
er it is estimated that fully So
100000 OF crop money has been
shipped from this city the past
fortnight. The southern creditors
are i'll better shape just now than
they have been for several years,
and the outlook in that section
and the southwest as viewed from
here is equally bright.
