THE CALLFOR VOLUNTEERS

the Manner Of Procedure.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The topic of
absorbing interest in military circles
during the day was the expected de-
cision Of the president and Secretary
Alger upon the question Of how to
place tho volunteer forces at the serv.
ice Of the government. No less than
three consultations were held At the
White House on this subject, but it
was finally announced that it would
not be possible to issue the expected
call for volunteers during the day. The
District militia forces have been offered
to the government by General Harries
and there is some expectation that
these will be the first of the militia
forces to be drawn into the government
service.

1I flREBUG AT WORK.
unnlstakable Evidence of In
cendiarism in Last Nights
West Side Fire,

Three fires In one week, with sever
al days of the week yet to hear from
is certainly a record that our prop
erty owners cannot contemplate
without some feelings Of apprehen'
sion. There was u fire Sunday morn
Ing, one Wednesday morning and
another at midnight Wednesday
night, and while the first two can
be attributed to accident there Is
unmistakable evidence that the third
was the work Of a firebug.
Wednesdays fire was on the West
side In a small frame barn In the
rear of l.. T. Phillips general store
It was discovered at about II
O'Clock. but when discovered 1t had
gained such a head way that 1t was
impossible to save much Of the
building and the firemen could not
do much but prevent it's spreading
to adjoining buildings. In the barn
were two horses belonging to Mr..
Phillips. One Of the animals. though
nearly dead from suffocatiOn. was
got out alive, but otbe: perished In
the flames. There was no insurance
on the property destroyed, and Mr..
Phillips estimates his loss at about
$3.50.
MIR. Phillips cannot account In
any way for the fire, except by the
theory that tirebug set 1t. No
lantern had been used near the barn
az the horses were cared for before
dark, and II 1t had resulted from the
earclessness of the person attending
the horses it would have been I'M
possible for a fire to shoulder in a
barn where there was SO much hay
from the time the man left the barn
until the fire was discovered.
10 further strengthen the tirebug
theory there is conclusive evidence
that al attempt was made made to
set fire to the vacant building for
merly occupied by H. L. Rutgers
hardware store, which is situated
only q few rods distant from the
building destroyed.
In the rear of thu Rutgers building
Ia Il small shed used as q shelter for
the delivery horse, and a small bunch
of hay was left on the ground in the
shed. This had been set afire. but
1t seems there was not enough of 1t
to set fire to the building, although
the sides were blackeDed and showed
plainly that the building had a mar
row escape.

The queen regent then referred to
the trouble in the Philippine islands
and, continuing, said: "Although a

the difficulties are not beyond our pow
