MEN FOR THE FOURTEENTH
MAJ. BIDWELL AND ASSIST
ANTS ARE DUE TO-DAY
e and Company Men From
Outside Towns Recruited for the
other Companies In the Regi-
ment Will BE Modified Here
Tuesday-Quota for the Twelfth.

Maj. Bidwell, of the Fourteenth regi-
ment, will arrive in the city today and
will probably open an office for the pur-
pose of receiving recruits for his regi-
ment tomorrow morning. He will Sc
cure fifty men to make the full quo
to of Capt. Bacon's company and Com
pany e, of Merriam Park, the only two
st. Paul companies in the regiment.
The other officers appointed to assist
him are already at work at the towns
assigned to them.
Maj. Bidwen will probably complete
his work by Sunday night, if the office
is opened tomorrow, as is expected.
The new men from the outside towns
will be modified in ST. Paul Tuesday,
and it is thought that the 800 men nee
essary to bring the Fourteenth regi-
ment up to war footing will be ready
for transport by Wednesday.
Capt Garcelon will be in ST. Paul
either tomorrow or Monday, in COM
pany with Lieut.. Rensberger and Lieut..
Day, when he will have completed his
work at Winona. He will recruit for
Company l., of the Twelfth, the only
St. Paul company in Col. McCoy's COM
mand. The remainder of the detail
will remain in the Southern part of the
state, recruiting in each of the towns
furnishing a company on the first call
until their work is completed 1t is
expected that the additional men for
the Twelfth regiment will be assembled
In St Paul next Wednesday or Thurs
day, and will be sent South about this
time next week.
The recruiting officers now have full
authority from Washington to muster
in all new men, and the order by virtue
of which they enjoy such authority
urges speedy action and gives sanction
to physical examinations made by the
recruiting officer in case no authorized
examining surgeon is at hand.
Maj. Bidwell has been rendered rooms
IN the capitol building by Gov. Clough,
and inaSmuch as the recruits for the
two regiments will be here at the same
time for at least two days the invita-
ton will probably be accepted, as the
faculties at the armory are inadequate
to accommodate 600 men. The men will
occupy the basement and campus Of
the capitol building. 1t is expected that
the recruits for the two regiments in
the South will be secured and equipped
with fully as much dispatch as the boys
for the Thirteenth were.
All day yesterday there was string
of men inquiring of the adjutart gen.
erals office at the capitol for the re-
cruiting office, and Gov. C1ough had an
unusual number Of callers, many of
them anxious to secure commissions.
When asked about the Fifteenth regi-
ment yesterday Gov. Clough said he
had heard nothing from Washington
which would authorize him to call for
men under the second call of Presi-
dent Mckinley. There seemed to be no
disposition on the part of the war de-
partment to rush matters. The gov
ernor stated that he would announce
his appointments just as soon as
authentic advices were received from
headquarters at the nations capitol.
Nothing would be done towards organ
iZing the new national guard until the
guns were received back from the war
department which, from present ap-
pearances, would be in about three
years.
