Besieged With Applications of Civ

LONDON, April 2O.-The rush OF APP
plicants for enlistment in the United
States army and navy was continued
today. Between forty and fifty Eng
fish and Irish sailors or soldiers, or
would-be soldiers and sailors, applied
for enlistment at the United States
consulate this morning. Several Brit
ish officers today consulted with Col
onel Alfred +. Bates, the United
States military attache, as to whether
they could secure commands in the
American army. One Woolwich artil-
lery lieutenant declared his intention
to apply for six months leave of alb
sence, without giving any reason for
doing so. and then enlist as a private
in the United States army. if he is
unable to do better, in order to study
artillery in action.
Numbers of former soldiers and
volunteers, have applied to Marshal
Halstead. the United States Consul at
Birmingham. for enlistment in the
United States army. Mr.. Halstead eX-
planned to them that the foreign en-
listment act prevented the acceptance
of their offers. Many engineers have
left birmingham to serve in both the
United States and Spanish navies.

AGAINST ACETYLENE GAS.
Object of Resolution Presented by
SUPERVISE Britt.

At the meeting of the Supervisors
on Monday, Britt introduced reso-
luton at the request of Fire Marshal
Towne forbidding the erection of any
apparatus, machine or works of any
description for the manufacture of
gas without obtaining "A permit from
the Board. When the matter came up
yesterday afternoon before the fire
committee, Clerk Russell said it was
unconstitutional, as no municipality
had the power to prevent the con-
struction of gas works.
Britt explained that the resolution
was intended to cover plants for maxi
ing acetylene gas, which he claimed
to be dangerous, and the object of the
Fire Marshal in desiring that per-
nit be obtained from the Board by
persons using such apparatus was
their locality. Britt declared that the
resolution was not declined to head
off the new gas works, and at his re-
quest the fire marshal was instructed
to send communication to the Board
defining his wishes, so that the COM
mittee could then amend the resolu-
ton to fit the case without conflict
ing either with the law or with any
| enterprise.
ACETYLENE GAS PLANTS.
At meeting of the fire committee
of the Board of Supervisors yesterday
the proposed order for the regulation
of acetylene gas plants was so amend.
ed as to require permits to be obtain.
ed from the Fire Marshal. The origi.
nal measure made it necessary that
this privilege should be obtained from
the Board, which would have necessi.
tated an expense of $40 for each APP.
plication for the advertising of the
resolution.
As this change satisfied the repre-.
sentatives of the gas machines. the
committee will recommend it to the
Board for adoption.-San francisco

lor. no nomination could be made If men,
bers voted as they had declared on the

evening. with the understanding that on
the second ballot they were 10 be re-
leased Work was not discontinued until
enough Of them had made this promise
10 insure Senator Turkeys election, and
having compiled with their promise, they
saw a nomination made with no oppor-
tunity for second ballot
There is no question but that the sup
porters of McMillin will make common
cause with Senator Bate, and endeavor
10 secure his return TO the Senate. on ac-
count Of the help the Governor gave SEN
ator Turley. which, beyond question,
elected him.
