DATE OF MUSTER OUT
First District Regiment to Quit Uncle Sam
Service Sunday.
Progress of the Physical Exnmina-
tiOns-Board of Survey in Ses-
sion-SOidiers' Pranks.

The understanding now is that the phys
ical examination of the members of the
lst District of Columbia Regiment will be
concluded Friday, and all necessary minor
details, it is believed, can be completed
Saturday. Therefore, Captain McGunnigle
the chief mastering officer believes, and
so stated today. that the muster out can
occur Sunday, the day originally decided
on. The drill hall at the Center Market
Armory is to be the scene of the ceremony.
Every officer and man will receive a certifi-
cate Of discharge, showing record of his
service.
The volunteers are looking forward with
anticipations OF pleasure to pay day. This
will be an event of some interest for there
will be paid each private from 500 to 500.
A total amount, including pay at the rate
of s15.6O a month FOR two months and TWEEN
ty days, clothing allowance of from $50 to
80 and Communication of rations for two
months at the rate of % cents a day is
due. The non-cOmmissioned officers, who
are entitled to more pay than the privates,
will, as rule, receive slightly more than
$lU8. About Si2o,Hj2, it is estimated, will
be expended in paying the officers and men
OF the District regiment next week.
Physical Examinations.
The physical examinations were con-
tinued today, DR.. Presley c. Hunt certify
ing to the condition of the members of
Companies d and T.. Companies F and G
will report for examination tomorrow;
Companies II and l Wednesday, and Com
panies * and l. Thursday, and Company
NJ Friday. The mastering board, consist
ing of Captain McGunnigle, Captain
Hodges, Captain Mock Lieutenant Mcneil
and Lieutenant Shaw, was hard at work
today examining muster-out rolls. The
board of survey, made up of Capt. G. S. d.
DOmer, Lieut.. c. +. Cook and Lieut.. f. B.
Wheaton, was also in session throughout
the day.
The District soldiers awaiting muster out
adopt novel methods To pass away the

Spain, cultivated q luxurious growth of
whiskers, of which he seemed unusually
conferred today and agreed that the time
fas arrived for pride to take a fall. A coll
lection was taken and the amount neces-
sary to pay for shave secured. but the
man in whose hands the funds were placed
expended the amount for beer, and was
classed as a Gefauter. Harsh measures,
therefore, had to be adopted. A pair of
shears Were borrowed from the quarter
masters department and amid loud cheers
force one-haif the offending beard was re-
moved. Other victims were tGen sought
by the jocu!ar soldiers.

Death of Free Coinage.

1t is pointed out that the upheaval in the
west in favor of the republicans showed
that the former republicans have abandon
ed silver and have returned to their old
party. Rabid silver democrats see this. but
give way sullenly to what they allege to
believe was temporary. Without the west
they know that there is no hope for silver.
To stick to silver is their certain doom.
They, then, look at the results in the east
and find strong hope for their party in
the warning elements again getting togeth-
er. Many of them admit that not only is
the deSertion of the west 4 fatal blow but
that the job has been finished by the GER
talnty that the United States Senate will
be heavily republican for at least six years
and probably for eight or ten. A democrat
lc President on a silver issue could not
nope to accomplish anything during his
term. Therefore the moderate silver men
already eVince desire to unite with the
gold democrats to put up a man on a plat
form which will stand chance of winning
With glad hearts at the return of the
west and the consequent election of a re-
publican House the republicans see the
tactics of the gold democrats at least. With
the west with them again the republicans
could afford. they say, to shift the fighting
ground back to the east. All their efforts
could be concentrated in the battle ground
OF former years, with chances in their favor
of success. They do not believe that the
democrats would defeat them In the old
pivotal states with man so popular as
Presi 1ent Mrkfnley at the head of their
ticket Too many independents have con-
ddence in the man to take chances on an
untrted person.

The Passing of Bryan.

Cen ra' Grosvenor and half )ze1 pom
inent republicans openly assert that w. j.
Bryan will pass into the past This pre-
diction is made on the belief that silver
VIII never again be the issue. They know
that if silver should again be the para
mount issue the leader would be the Ne
bfaskan. He IS tie enlbod ment of free
coinage and the logical candidate for an
other campaign. heir Very prediction as
TO the disappearance of the silver leader
implies their belief that silver cannot again
De the issue, and that the democrats will
select some either man on some other plat
form. Mr.. Bryan, it is averred by men of
both parties, Is too far committed to silver
10 ever become a nominee any other
platform. lie CCL.d not, it is declared re-
celVe solid democratic support Sometimes
the name of Senator German is put forward
as the man now standing closer to middle
ground. Sometimes Van Wyck is spoken
or as clean and conservative enough to be
available. Many democrats do not look
upon his defeat as doing away with his
political future.

TWO YEARS HENCE
What Political Prophets Think Will
Be the Situation.
BOTH PARTIES COMING TOGETHER
The Silver Question and BRYAN
Fading From Sight
L E r R ITORIAL EXPANSION

Inc silver west repudiating its idol and
going back to the republican party The
gold standard east dangerously near the
1ateful embrace of the silver democrats
Inc longer these two startling facts are
analyzed the gre1ter grows the interest
In the recent elections and the broader the
speculation as TO what another two years
Will bring forth in a country where the
political Kaleidoscope changes almost hour
iy Around the White House and depart
ments, where statesmen of both parties
visit, the prophets hold forth In great num-
bers, and find intense interest in exchang-
ing views of the future. One and all agree
that the elections last week mean a great
change in politics in another two yeas
but few agree as to what the changes
will be. The majority however and
among the number are republicans and
democrats of national prominence. think
that the situation two years from now will
be ome.hing like this:
The death of free coinage as an issue
Inc passing of W. j. Bryan with the de-
mise of l6 to l.
reunion of discordant democratic ele-
ments.
similar reunion of republicans
Disappearance Of the pcpuiist party.
The two old parties fighting each other
as of old.
Territorial Expansion.
If the new question of territorial expan-
sion could be eliminated the prophets could
almost agree upon the issues Of the next
campaign, but that question is expanding
so fast that no an attempts TO fore
shadow what prominence il may or NAV
not cut in the future. If the Senate had
already passed upon a treaty of peace
there would be something more substantial
which hA bn
their scattered fragments is based largely
Upon the belief that the whole country
VIII accept whatever is done as to the
philippines and that those who are op-
posed to their annexation will not be in
Huential enough to bring about an oupo-
sition plank in either of the great parties.
1t is recognized that should the Philippine
question become formidable enough to be
the foremost issue two years from now
the old parties would be torn asunder
again, and there would be another align
nent on basis ohscured by the veil of
the future. The democratic party is di-
V1ded on that question now and many re-
pubiicans are not with their party Sena-
tor Hanna and Major Dick, his ab'est lieu-
tenant, are both quoted as putting ,he
Philippine question forward as the issue
two years from now.
Leaving aside this new and puzzlfng
question, the politicians, with the exception
OF extremists, agree that the two old par
ties will fight each other on past and pros
pectiVe domestic and national issues The
first lining uD win be seen in the state
elections next year. Between now and
then the elements now attempting to knit
together will have opportunity to show
whether they can harmCnize.

Policy of Gold Democrats.

Some of the prophets say that during the
next two years the moderate silver men
and the gold democrats Will gradually rele-
gate silver to the rear and will put forth
other issues to test public sentiment. The
leaders in this program will be the gold
democrats. They will work quietly and
under cover. Their work will largely an
pear through the mouths of SILVER leaders
A too sudden grasping of the reins bv the
gold democrats would spoil ALL Rabid sill
Yer men would become suspicious and
break away. Maryland, New Jersey and
New York are instances, it is pointed out
OF the easy manner in which the silver men
were led up to the polls by the schemes of
the gold democrats. That program is eX-
pected to mature in a way to be surprising
The republicans will not be compelled to
resort to these tricks to heal their sores
The former silver men of the west will be
invited back into the fold without conces-
sions being made to them except in the
way of offices.
General Grosvenor and other republican
leaders in Congress will probably have a
barrel Of fun prodding at the reviving
democratic corpse. For political reasons
the republicans may not at first try to have
too much fun with the gold democrats but
their Sarcasms will be directed to the silver
men. The silver heresies will be kept to
the front by the republicans as still per-
meating the democrats, no matter what
schedule of another kind they may attempt.
The National Banks.
1t is said that many of the silver demo-
Gratis will try to make the national banks
an issue, believing that they could carry
the bulk of the gold democratic vote with
them on that question, but it is admitted
that this would leave a wide open door for
a return of free silver theories.

Although little is said by the commits

discussion in the Canadian newspapers
and among those Indirectly connected with
the conference concerning two points up
on which the commission may fan to

Statements and interviews have been
printed in the Canadian papers 10 the
effect that the American commissioners
will insist that the present preferential
tariff Of The Dominion in favor of England
must be done away with before any con-
cessions ION the part of the United States
viii be made Under the present cOnsid-
erations Canada admits products from
England at % per cent less than the duty
imposed upon products from the United
States and other countries.
Congressman Dingley. who has been
quoted as making such a statement, de-
MES it.
1t is said also that Sir Wilfred Laurier's
position may become an obstacle in the
way of the commissions success. The as
sertOn is made that Sir Wilfred stead
lastly declines 10 consider the arbitration
or adjustment of any one matter under

agree to a final settlement of all the ques-

None of these rumors can be confirmed.

After that they will meet probably each

Griffin. Ca, Aug. Pa serious and com
plicated state Of affairs exists in the camp
OF the Third Regiment over the question
Of being mustered out Much has al
ready been published in the press Of the
state and each day brings on more en-
thueiasm.
Tuesday a reporter was sent to camp for
the purpose of polling the camp to ascer-
tain the true standing of the men regard
ing being mustered out. The reporter met
with no warm welcome.
While performing HE duty in Company
A the officers appeared upon the scene,
and, in short order. gave him to under-'
stand he was not in friendly quarters.
Capt Davies of Atlanta Company A, call
ed his men to order in the company's
street and asked all who wished to be
mustered out to step forward But before
the men made a move Second Lieutenant
w. P. Clarke of Elberton exclaimed, let all
the damn towards step forward. Three
had the courage TO then step forward.
The news spread rapidly through
out camp, and in short time
everything was an uproar. The
men threatening to ride report
ers off the grounds on rails. Some wished
to cowhide them, while others sided with
them. Since that hour the entire camp
has been in a most excited state, though
the reporters have been quietly at work
among the privates, and have been as
sured that every company has been polled
and that rs per cent of the entire regi-
ment is deeirous of being mustered out
of service.
one declares emphadcally If an oppor-
tunity was given all there would not be
enough men left in the regiment to carry
off the coats of those VINO withdraw
1t is recognized that the officers, as a
majority, look upon the men under them
as set of slaves, and treat them accord
ingly.
Two cases of comment occurred to-day
when one private received word from his
former employer at home to come home,
as the war was over and resume his du-
ties, or his position would be forfeited.
The private asked his officer to aid him in
securing an honorable discharge. The Of
ficers wrath gained the best of him and
he cursed the man as he would a dog. II
is no infrequent thing to see a soldier
struck by an officer. Such are a few of
the things now existing in camp which
ought, and by right, demands imme-
date investigation.
When the news reached camp this even
ing that the Third would not be mustered
out it was received with profound regret
by the enlisted men, though the officers
told it differently.
