THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.
There is Grand Rush for Military
Commissions.

Politics has entered INFO war arrange
ments. Applications for civil office have
been superseded by demands for military
commissions in the volunteer army
Everybody wants to be either major
general or a brigadier general. Had the
fun militia of the several States been
called into service with their existing
officers this demand would have been di-
minished slightly, but as only a small
part of some of the militia is desired
there is a rush for the commissioned
offices.
In the States the governors have the
power of selecting the men 10 command
the volunteers to represent the quota
called for. In the District of Columbia
the Executive has the authority. To some
extent that accounts for the desire of
Brig. Gen. Harries to have the entire
Guard mustered into service What is
true of Washington in that respect is
true of every State in the union. The
men are much displeased in New York
over the arrangement made by the War
Department and threaten to leave the
militia if they cannoe enlist with their
regular officers.
This condition of affairs has resulted
in appeals to congressman and from them
demands have been made upon the Presi-
dent. Senator Pritchard called at the
White House yesterday and presented the
request Of a constituent for a military
command. The governor of North Caro-
lima had declined to interfere in behalf
of the senator's friend and then there
was an appeal to President Mckinley
with the result that it was decided that
the applicant should at least have a posi-
ton on the staff of some general.
Then, too, the reorganization bill be-
fore Congress will influence matters some
and ii is doubtful if the Department will
be authorized to do away with the organ
iZation of the volunteer army into bat
talions. To do so would cause the re-
tirement Of number of battalion officers
who must be provided for.
This condition of affairs has caused the
President much anxiety and worry The
clamoring is almost as bad as that for
civil positions and he is much pressed at
a time when more important matters are
before him for consideration. The militia
men have been told that they will be mus
tered into the army with the officers as
existing in the militia, bus this cannot be
where companies have to be picked out
TO make up the quota and sent to the
front with strange commanders. There
is no hing TO hinder a change in the
plans, however. when the soldiers become
Il part Of the regular army and the Presi-
dent Is at liberty to appoint whoever he
chooses to command the brigades and
battalions

assistant commissary general of subsist-

Greene, signal officer.
Col. Overshine of the Twenty-thrd In
fantry was today on instructions from
Washington, appointed commander of
the brigade now assembled here which
consists of the First, Eighth and Twenty
third regiments, with the rank of briga
general.
First Lieut. Dupray was appointed by
Gen. Overshine adjutant general of the
brigade. A number of other promotions
will be soon announced.
AS the army is put on a war footing
Capt. Paul. 6f Company B, Eighteenth
Infantry, Capt. Potter, of Company f.
Eighteenth Infantry, and Capt. Goodale,o of
Company A, Eighteenth Infantry, will be
appointed majors in the brigade as soon
as the order is promulgated.
Col. Feliger Company ID, Twenty-third
Infantry, the first to go into camp here,
will take command of the negro regiment
now in progress of organization.
A number of other promotions will be
made. These promotions have had
most exhliarating effect on the men, who
are beginning TO appreciate what the war

yancement and military pay.
1t was decided this morning to establish
the camp of the division here at Chal
mette, the battlefield where Jackson won
the great victory, The place is known as
Port Chalmette and is an ideal spot for
camp
When Gen. Shafter arrived here and in
spected the camp at the Fair Grounds he
became satisfied that the space was too
limited for the camping or drilling of q
division. The War Department will not
send the troops now at the Fair Grounds
TO Chalmette, but all troops coming in
here, including the Louisiana companies
and other State regiments, will be sent to
the new camp. Gen. Shafter left for
Washington tonight accompanied by
Lieut. Mobiles He will hold a conference
with Gen. Miles and return later in the
week.
Companies c and F. of the First Artil-
lery, passed through New Orleans at an

The battery has, since its organization,
been in 10S battles, both in the civil and
Mexican war

whereby the troops will get down to

MARKET DULL AND FIRM
Foreign Purchases Again a Factor
in Maintaining Prices.
Stocks Not Appreciably Influenced
by the Remarkable Advance
In Grain.

New York, April 26.-Tn anticipation Of
the fortnghtly settlement upon the Lon
don stock exchange foreign houses were
buyers of stocks in this market, their
total purchases being estimated as in ex-
cess of 10000 shares. 1t is believed that
these purchases were made to cover a
short account in American stocks in the
London market, where the American di-
vision is too narrow to allow of extensive
operations at the present time.
The foreign purchases here We're con-
dealings of the morning, which, it Is not
necessary to add, were extremely small.
For over a week this market has accepted
the London lead and today the foreign
purchases, together with the advance in
prices of American stocks there were
faithfully reflected in the initial dealings.
The disposition of the foreign dealings in
this market was apparently surprise 70
the room traders, who in the early deal
ings started in to continue their yester-
days tactics.
Aside from the foreign buying the con-
dftions were equally favorable to sue
cess, but in the delicately balanced spec
ulation the London purchases turned the
scale.
What might be called the sentimental
influence in the dealings of the day was
the news of the capture of additional
Spanish vessels in the South, while there
were favorable expectations entertained
that the next advices from the Philip
pines would tell of decisive American
victory. The further remarkable advance
in grain was not an appreciabe factor
in the trading. Spanish fours closed
slightly lower than yesterday. while
United States bonds were steady. The
foreign exchange market continued very
firm and the money market retained the
general conditions of the past week. ST
Paul and Burlington led the railway list
in respect of activity and Sugar and
American Spirits were conspicuous in the
