LET'S MILITIA CATCH BREATH
NO VOLUNTEER CALL UNTIL
CONGRESS DIRECTS.
Adiutant General Corbin Declared
This In the Most Positive Terms
Fifty Thousand Expected Under
First Call.

1xosb;neton. April 16.-Adjutant
General Corbin said today in the most
Dositive terms that no call for volun-
teers for military service el'her
militiamen or others, would De Ihaoe
unless such d step is authorized by
congress and approved by the presi-.
dent. He said that all the detalis OF
such a call rested in the hands OF the
president and so far as ne (-ei ,il
Corbinl knew. nothing had yet peen
settled in the matter beyond de-
cision to make such a call in case II
became necessary and was fully
authorized by the action of congress.
II was impossible for him to say.
at this time, how many men are
likely to be called out under the nrst
call, but in others quarters IL was
learned that the president has pracu-
calIv decided, in the event of legisla-
ton to that end, TO issue a proclama-
ton asking for $4,000 volunteers.
General Corbin said that if this
was done. the call would be appor-
toned according to their population,
and that, the organization of the force
would be left entirely TO the judgment
of the government of the several
states and territories. upon which
would also devolve the powers of
selecting the different volunteer
organizations. The war department
recognizes the complete jurisdiction of
the governors in the matter of
organizing volunteer troops in their
respective states.
Secretary Alger. in reply to ~
specific inquiry on the subject. saiosi
today that no call on the militia of
the several states will be made by the
president until congress passes a reso-
luton of Intervention. This authorita
tive statement disposes of the rumors
that have been persistently circulated
during the past few DAYS that call
of this kind will be made within g.
certain specified time.

move in a straight line. He wanders
and winds like a stream.
OF course no one can tell a man what
to do to become an orator. The great
orator has that wonderful thing called
presence. He has the strange some
thing known as magnetism. He must
have a flexible, musical voice, capable
of expressing the pathetic, the humor-
Gus, the heroic. His body must move in
unison with his thought. He must be
a reasoner. a logician. He must have
a keen sense of humor-of the laugh
able. He must have wit, sharp and
quick. He must have sympathy. His
smiles should be the neighbors of his
tears. He must have imagination. He
should give eagles to the air, and
painted moths should flutter in the
sunlight.
WHAT NOT TO DO.
while 1 cannot tell a man what to
do to become an orator, ! can tell him
a few things not to do.
There should be no introduction to
an Grafton. The orator should COM
mence with his subject. There should
be no prelude, no flourish, no apology.
no explanation. He should say moth
ing about himself. Like a sculptor he
stands by his block of stone. Every
stroke is for purpose. AS he works
the form begins to appear. When the
