RALEIGH, N. c.. May 26.-(Special)-
In an interview with Adjutant-Genera
| Cowles to-day, he said: The call foi
1851 more volunteers from this State viii
be made by the Governor at once the
Third Regiment will be of white troops
| and its twelve companies are already
| rendered. Some are ready to come now,
including companies at Charlotte, Sails
bury, and Winston. Other companies
will be from Wilkes, Guilford. lredell'
Carteret, &c. These are all conditional
entries. Other companies should not be
deferred from making tenders. as my ex-
perience is that / cannot positively de-
pend on offers seemingly positive. All
this movement as to filling the regiment
is, of course, preliminary. The Third
Regiment will be modified here. at Camp
Grimes, / think, within a week, and am
sure within ten days. The Fourth Resi-
ment will be colored regiment. In
other words. the colored battalion, or
dered to rendezvous at Fort Macon, will
be increased to a regiment OF twelve COM
panies. 1t will have colored officers"

The gathering of Democrats here to-day
at the State Convention was notable
one. 1t Is truly a representative body.
Those who favored fusion with the Popu-
lists saw the handwriting on the wall
yesterday, and acknowledged that they
were utterly routed.
The proposition which the Populists
made for fusion, which was submitted
last night, meant an endorsement of Soma
tor Butler, Governor Russell. and all the
misrue of the past two years There are
plenty of Democrats who freely character
lie it as an insult, and even some extrsme
fusionists said they could swallow no
such nauseous dose.
Chairman Manly said yesterday fusion
was impractIcable. He told me ten days
ago it would not be Effected that the
mass OF the party was against IT. Julian
F. Carr said yesterday that not over one
fifth of the delegates favored fusion.
Some of the extreme fusionists go so
far as 20 assert that the anti-fusionlsts
packed the convention on them.
The Populist Committee of Conference
and Congressman Fowler kept close watch
on affairs. When Fowler was told that
the sentiment was Overwhelmingly
against fusion, he said he recognized that
fact but that the Populists were not dis
concerted.
The Supreme Court will adjourn day
after tomorrow for the term.
Arthur Watson, private in the Morgan |
ton Company, of the Second Regiment, |
died last night in the hospital at Camp |
Russell, of meningitis. His funeral was |
held this afternoon. The flag was at |
half-staff He was buried In one of the |
here.
The Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society here |
is working hard to supply the various |
regiments with underclothing and other
1t has done a great work.
The failure of the government to issue
any supplies makes this necessary, though |
Of course it was thought the government
would instantly and fully equip the troops.
The society will be glad TO receive con-
tributions from any point in the state.
