TO PREVENT CLASHES.
Telegram from the War Department
on the Question of Seniority.

Before the first Indiana volunteers left
Camp Mount, after they had been mustered
into the United States service, an un-
pleasant controversy arose among the
colonels of the different regiments as to
which took precedence. This question was
revived in Camp Thomas, when Colonel
Smith became mixed up with a Virginia
colonel. In order to avoid any such compli-
cations in the future the War Department
has sent kilograms to the Governors of the
various States calling attention to q regular
army regulation which has been IN force
since 1895. Governor Mount yesterday re-
ceived a telegram from Adjutant General
war has decided that volunteer officers
muster into United States service. When
commissions of such officers bear same date
relative rank is determined by previous
length of United States military service
under commissions, and in absence of such
service, by lot. Secretary considers 1t very
desirable that commissions bear same date
as muster into service"
Hereafter, in view of this order, when a
number of commissions are issued on the
same date they will be made to bear the
date upon which the officers were actually
mustered into service. BY taking this pre-
caution 1t is believed that no further clash
ing of authority will arise, especially as it
is understood care will be taken to muster
officers of same grade into service on differ

Marion Has Five Companies.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind. May 26.-The second call
for volunteers by the President will be
answered, so far as Grant county is con-
cerned, by the offer of at least five com
panies. four of which are already organ
lied and anxious to go to the front. One of
these was recruited by Capt. Fred Beshore,
now adjutant of the One-hundred-a six
tieth, and Is now under the care of Deputy
Sheriff Carl Lewis. Another is headed by
Captain Engle, of the Soldiers Home band;
another by Lieutenant Bien, who was for
several years connected with the militia;
another by Joseph Lugar, a captain in the
late war and now county commissioner. In
this company are J. l.. Bradford now Re-
publican county chairman, and J. A Gauntt,
ex-postmaster, as first and second lieu
tenants. In addition to these o. A. Sprague,
for many years an officer in Canton Marion,
which won number OF victories and cap
tured the first prize several times as the
best drilled canton in the United States, will
raise company and make a desperate effort
to secure its recognition. Other companies
are under consideration. There are appar-
entity enough would-be soldiers in Grant
county to fill the quota of the State If they
were permitted to do so.

POSSIBLE COLONELs.
Men who Are Thought to Be in Line
for Commands.

for Commands.
Among the prominent men of the State
who are particularly anxious to have regi-
mental commands under the Presidents Sec
ond proclamation are Lieutenant Thomas M.
Defrees, formerly of the regular army, and
for long time stationed here as inspector
of the National Guard; Charles f. Griffin,
of Hammond, and ex-Gov. Claude Mat
thews, of Clinton. A good many friends of
w. ]. Mckee, brigadier general under the
old National Guard, are urging that he be
appointed. When it comes to selecting
colonies for the various Indiana regiments
Governor Mount will find difficult problem
before him. Charles +. Griffin was one of
his chief opponents for nomination as Gov
ernor. Mr.. Griffin had a regiment organized
came. 1t is understood Ex-Governor Mat
thews has also been especially interested in
forming a regiment. Lieutenant DefreeS
has great many friends who are anxious
to see him appointed. While he was sta
toned here he made a strong impression.
Mckee might have had the appointment as
colonel of the old First Regiment, l. N g.,
but his friends say that he had pledged his
support to Colonel Barnett, and felt that
he could not conscientiously accept a COM
mission under the circumstances.
Governor Mount has received letter
from Col. George II. Pennington, formerly
in command of the First Regiment Col.
Mount, and was compelled to go to his
home at New Albany instead of 10 the
front. He now writes that he hopes to be
about inside OF a month, and is anxious to
State. He was informed that as the call
had come and would probably be filled be-

The minute the Presidents proclamation
for 75,000 volunteers was flashed over the
wires to the towns of Indiana men began
"hustling' for places and although
Governor Mount was at Winona attending
religious meeting that fact was ignored and
floods of kilograms poured in on him there
Beside this delegations called on him and
others were threatening to invade the pre-
cincts of the assembly ground and bring
with them all the noise and turmoil of war
Governor Mount was down on the pro-
gramme for last nights meeting. one of the
most important of the assembly. but has
tened home to take up the duties that are
upon him here, as well as to prevent the
hungry horde from falling on the Presby-
terians at Eagle Lake.

FORMATION OF REGIMENTS.
Question as to How Inciana's VOlun-
teers Will BE Organized.


No one seems to be accurately informed
as to how the new companies and regiments
will be organized. Under the Indiana Ma
tional Guard law there were 947 enlisted
men in a regiment and fifty commissioned
officers, making a total of 997,. exclusive of
the hospital corps. The commissioned Off
GERS were one colonel, one lieutenant colonel
three battalion majors, three battalion ad-
jutants, one surgeon, two assistant sur
geons, one quartermaster, one regimental
adjutant, one chaplain, twelve captains and
twenty-four lieutenants Under the law late
ly passed for the reorganization of the regu-
lar army there are 106 enlisted men and nom
commissioned officers and one captain and
two lieutenants, or 109 men in each COM
pany. Instead of three battalion officers.
including majors and adjutants, there are
but two. While the War Department was
authorized under this law, to accept regi-
lnents Of the National Guard as already or
ganized, now that there is no National
Guard it is supposed that the organization
will be under the new law. If this is true,
there would be fewer companies than have
been figured on in making an estimate of
the apportlonment of companies among the
congressional districts. No one can tell how
many companies the quota allotted to Indi-
ana will produce until an order promulgat-
ing the call and designatin the manner of
organizing the volunteers is received from
Washington. Regular army officers here are
inclined to think that companies will not be
formed on the old basis of eighty-four men
to the company, exclusive of one captain
and two lteutenantS each, but that they will
contain 1O6 enlisted men and noncommis-
stoned officers, captain and two Heuten-
ants.
Neither Lieutenant Colonel May nor
Lieutenant Petersen have received any or
ders from Washington concerning the
ganfzation of the new Indiana volunteers.
Colonel May hopes to get away to his COM
mand at Ch1ckamauga by Saturday. The
understanding is that Lieutenant Petersen
will have charge of the mastering into serv-
ice of the new volunteers. Lieutenant Pc
tersen said yesterday that he was not in a
position to say whether the War Depart
ment would at once take charge of the vol
unteers when they arrived here or not, but
was inclined to believe that that would be
the result. His idea is that it would be best
to have camp equipage in the way of tents,
blankets, rationS and cooking utensils,
ready before the men are furnished trans
portation to indianapolis. Lieutenant Pc
ters5n has on hand about 1900 rations left
over from the last days at Camp Mount,
about enough to feed three regiments a half
day. 1t would be a small matter to get
rattons for three regiments at Camp Mount
in short time, however. The men could
get along very well without uniforms and
arms, provided they were furnished with
sufficient shelter and food preparatory to
muster and mobilization in the South.

to bear, will fall upon his shoulders At
tempts to "gerrymander'' the congressional
districts in favor of candidates for the line
positions are already being made, but, as
Indicated by the Governors own words,
kilograms and delegations sent to the Capt.
tol will avail nothing. In anticipation of

what it would be--Colonel Wilson's real mis-
sion to Washington has not been made pub
lic-the Governor has considered all the

in accepting tenders OF service and in COM
