day the great store houses under Capt.
Zalinski's care are filled with supplies,
while the next the buildings are empty.
Today the houses are taxed TO their ut
most with all kinds of supplies which
are constantly arriving from Philadel-
phia, St. Louis, Chicago, Boston and
JeffersOnvi1le. The amount of under
clothing received is simply enormous
sufficient to supply an army of $1,000
men. Among the supplies now being
issued are 10000 pairs of shoes, 5000
blouses, 5000 blankets and 10000 trim
mings for uniforms, including the stripes,
etc.
The first corps as well as the third,
is well fitted with shelter tents. 1t APP
pears that quite a good deal of the
clothing at first issued to the men was
of an inferior grade and on this ac-
count, a second issue is being received
by many of the soldiers at Camp Thorn
as. An official who is in a, position to
know states that the entire first corps
was well equipped as far as quarter
masters supplies are concerned, while
the ordnance department is rapidly fit
ting out the command.

WITH THE GOVERNOR.
appointment of Police Judges Still
Rests With Him Says Mr..
Smelling.

Assistant Attorney General Smelling
has discovered that the law for the ap-
pointment of a police judge is not good
and that when the mayors of cities of
the first class appointed police judges
they made a mistake. He says that the
governor should have appointed some
one to fill the vacancy until the next
election when a police judge would be
elected.
The discrepancy in the law, says Mr..
Smelling, is in apparent conflict with
the constitution which provides how all
judicial officers shall be elected.
Mr.. Smelling has not been asked for
an official opinion on this question but
the question nav be raised.

Though it is a matter of slight diff
Guilty to gain such knowledge Of the
various marks used to indicate rank in
the army and navy few civilians possess
the information. Except to those people
who have made the subject a study or
are mem bers of military bodies, all ma
val and army officers appear much the
same, so far as dress is concerned. The
army and navy are now, however, be-
come such important q ctors in our ma
tional life that a knowledge of the de-
vices used to designate rank in either
branch of the service can scarcely fail
to be regarded as a valuable acquisition.
There are four classes of officers in
the United States navy, and each is
known by a special set of devices. These
classes are commissioned officers of the
line, the commissioned corps, warrant
officers and petty officers The first two
include the graduates from Annapolis
and regularly commissioned officers,
and the third and fourth classes COM
prise enlisted men who have been pro-
NOTED. The rank devices are worn by
commissioned officers on the shoulder
knots when full dress is worn, but on
service coats the devices are embrOider-
ed on the collar. All commissioned Off
GERS above the rank of ensign wear two
gold bullion epaulets, with their re-
spective strap ornaments on the frogs.
All shoulder straps are of navy blue
cloth with a border embroidered in gold.

Schley and Sampson to Be Remem-
bered by the President

Washington, July 1.-THE president
has determined to promote Acting Ad-
miraI Sampson and Commodore Schley,
in recognition of their services in the
destruction of the Spanish naval fleet
in American waters, but is as yet un-
decided as to the extent of promotion.
Although Admiral Sampson ranks Com
mOdOre Schley in command Of the nav
al forces in Cuban waters, he is subOr-
dinate to that officer by two numbers
in the naval register. Commodore
Schley stands number eight in the list
of cOmmodores and Sampson stands
number ten, having been promoted to
that grade within the past week Com
nodore Watson, also on duty with the
fleet at Santiago, is senior to both of
the others, standing number six in his
grade When an official report is re-
ceived a decision will be reached as to
the extent of promotion to be made.

The war between Japan and China
was a revelation of the extraorGi

fare, and it is firmly believed in
London that the American authori-
tiles possess some wonderful new
discoveries in the way of engines of
destruction. 1t is believed here that
the American authorities will be in
undated with requests from English
army officers and ex officers for vol
untary commissions, although be-
yond Cuba it is hardly supposed that
the American army will do much in
the way of invading.
1t is believed here that if Spain
goes to war she will be in condition

which would give her moral support
would perhaps be Austria Even
