ENLISTMENT OPEN.

Washington. May s5. Secretary Alger
said this afternoon that the additional
volunteers called for will not be recruited
from the National Guard as were the first
1875, 900, but that the enlistment will be
open.
The conditions referred to in the procla-
nation under which the enlistments will
be conducted have not yet been prepared
and 1t is thought there is no occasion for
hurry in this matter until the full draft
called for in the first proclamation has
been secured. 1t is further stated that
the decision to issue an additional call for
volunteers was not reached until the cabi-
net meeting yesterday. The call it is sup
posed here indicates determination to
press the campaign actively and vigorous
ly from now on.

THE SOUTHERN STATES ARE sLoy

Washington, May 25.-One hundred and
twelve thousand men have now besn
mustered into the volunteer army of the
United States and the official reports
show that the greater number of these are
ready to move to the front.
Over two-thirds of the states have en-
tirely completed their musters and should
the emergency arise are prepared to begin
anew the work just completed.
The failure of some of the states,
notably four or five of the South, to fur
nish the mon called for up to this time is
a surprise to the army officers, on duty,
ferred to, to fill the apportionment made
BY the war department. and the expecta-
tion here Is that this will be accomplished
without further unnecessary delay.

kind to me. The woman, however,

I was passing the house, she came to

piled that they were not. The next
question came straight and quick as

Nearly always the person officiating

your own moral, for a word to the wise

than once been requested not to say
