for the statement that every town

ted to furnish the twenty-five men
needed to complete the roster of the

Will prove of special interest to all Min

The recent order issued by the, adju-
tant general of the United States,
which is printed below. verifies the
statement made yesterday by Gen.
| Nuremberg, as it distinctly provides
that the recruiting station established
by the officers lof the volunteer army
| must be in the locality where the or
ganization was raised.
The following is the text of the order
promulgated a few days ago by the
war department:
Under and in pursuance Of the presidents
proclamation of May 25 1885, calling for the
volunteers to the aggregate number of To-
600, and of section of an act of congress
approved April %, 1898, which provides that
no new organizations shall be accepted in
the service from any state. unless the Or
CARNATIONS already in the service from such
state are up to their maximum strength as
the president may, deem necessary: The fol-
objects of said proclamation are announced
by the secretary of war for the information
and guidance of all concerned
Organizations accepted and mustered in

dents proclamation of April 49, 1885, will be

CLOUGH WATTS ORDERS.
Gov. Clough is still in the dark as to
the intent of the war department re-
garding Minnesota's quota on the sec
ond call. There seems to be no dispo-
sition on the part of Washington Of
ficisls to rush matters, and Gov. Clough
is waiting their pleasure. as he has said
that no assignments of companies will
be made until he receives official in
structions from headquarters
Capt Swigert, who mustered in the
Minnesota troops, called at the gov
ernor's Office yesterday to greet Gov.
Clough, before joining his regiment.
Capt. Swigert expressed himself highly
pleased with the courtesy of the St
Paul people, and said his stay here had
been none other than pleasant.
There is still clamor at the gov
errors office for commissions The gov
ernor takes himself off to Minneapolis
early every afternoon, and thus saves
himself the annoyance of the onslaught
of those anxious for military honors
FROM COL. VAN DUZEE.
In reply to a letter written Col Van
Duzee, of the Fourteenth, by Gov.
Clough, some days ago. asking if they
were in need of anything the following
was received by the governor from the
colonel of the Fourteenth, yesterday:
We not in want of anything that you
can send u.s. wish we could get everything
from you and as promptly as before we left
home. Have not received gun or any am
muniton yet. We expect some tomorrow
but it may be another mistake. We were
very glad to see your wire to the secretary
of war in regard to more men,
From What l can see our boys compare
very fayorably with any Others; OF course
we think we are a little better. but that may
be our mistake. Time will tell
MAY GET IN NEXT TIME.
There is a good deal of guessing
concerning the various localities Of the
state which are likely to be favored
in answering the second call for troops
Gov Clougth is making his own calcu-
lations, but what they are is difficult
matter to fathom. Nevertheless some
guesses have been haZarded as to the
selection of the six companies included
in the call. =,
Undoubtedly, Minneapolis and ST.
Paul will be allowed one each Then
Winthrop. which as.raised company,
has been asked by the governor wheth-
er a company Gamble supplied from
there, and haSs assured him that it
can. Winthrop will probably get the
third company. II < not
