COLUMBUS, May 4.-Governor Bush
nell has issued an order that cavalry or
carnations accepted by the state report
at once at Camp Bushnell. 1t is be-
ieved they will all report by tomorrow
The first will be Troop A of Cleveland,
which has been organized for years and
is well-drilled body. Other troops
will be from Dayton, the Barger troop
from this city and the troop organized
by Colonel Curry at Marysville. These
four troops will make up the First bat
TALON of the squadron, and will be the
crack cavalry boys from Ohio. The
other four troops will make up the Sec
ond battalion.
The work of making physical examin-
atlons is progressing. The surgeons of
the camp passed satisfactorily The
officers come next. Nearly 800 more
new uniforms were distributed.
The national guard of the state will
not be mustered into service except as a
whole. The men of the different COM
mands III camp, both officers and pri-
Yates, absolutely decline to enter the
volunteer service except in the present
form OF the organizations Action to
this effect has been taken by practically
every command in camp. The Second
brigade officers recently sent Lieutenant
Colonel Dick to Washington as their
representative in the matter 1t is said
that a private telegram from Colonel
Dick stated that he believed the matter
would be arranged all right.
1t is learned on excellent authority
that president Mckinley has rendered
to Ex-Governor James E. Campbell one
of the brigadier generalships which
will fall to Ohio. It is also believed
that the recommendations of Governor
Bushnell will not be seriously consid-
cred.

MOUNT GRETNA, Pa, May 4.-The
soldiers of Western Pennsylvania who
comprise the Second brigade of the
state national guard were given their
opportunity to enroll themselves in the
volunteer service of the United States
and the response to the call was at once
remarkable and inspiring. Three regi-
ments and the light battery to man
said they would follow the fortunes
of the flag as volunteers and not one
regimental or company officer in the
entire brigade made a negative answer
to Inspector General Morrell's question
as to whether they desired commits
sion. The banner regiments were the
Sixteenth, General Wiley's old COM
mand, and the Fifteenth and Eigh-
teenth. There were some eclinations
in the Fifth, Tenth and Fourteenth
regiments. The officers and enlisted
men on the field numbered 3,073 and
out of this number but 104 enlisted men
declined to volunteer.

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

A great stir has been caused In Norway
and Sweden by the recent action of the
Storthing at Christiania in the matter of
the Norwegian flag. The Storthing has
voted that hereafter NOrway's banner
shall float without jack-the symbol of
the union with Sweden. Some say that
should King Oscar veto the resolution two
more diets must pass upon the matter be-
fore it can go into effect; others that the
new flag will come into immediate use.
Since 1874 the closest relations have been
maintained between Norway and Sweden
Al that time the flag OF each nation was
changed so that the jack in the upper
left-haud corner combined the coiors of
the other nation. For several years past
however, there has been a growing feaI
ing of discomfort in Norway concerning
the close relations of the two powers.

| Secretary Long says that as two or three
years will be required for the construction
OF the ships enumerated, appropriations

in accordance with the recommended tion
of the Naval Board of Construction, as
| follows:
Ihree seagoing sheathed and coppered
battieships, of about 1900 tons displace-
ment, carrying the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordnance for vessels of
tnelr class. Estimated cost, exclusive of
arn1or and armament, 50, 600, 900 each.
Inree sheathed and coppered cruisers
OF about 1900 tons displacement esti-
mated cost. exclusive of armor and arm
ament $4,00000O each

slble speed and great radius of action.
Three sheathed and coppered protected
cruisers of about 5000 tons displacement.

| radius OF action, and to carry the most
powerful ordnance suitable for vessels of
thelr class; estimated cost exclusive of

ing quantities; great radius of action and

1t VIII be seen from the Secretary's re-
port that all of the new vessels from
nattleships to cruisers of the lowest type
are TO be sheathed and coppered, which
Is new departure in American naval con.
struction The recommendation is ex-
tremely gratifying to Chief Naval Com
Structor Hichborn, who has earnestly la
pored for years to induce the Navy De-
partment TO adopt the policy of all the
great powers as to sheathing and copper
ing, thus enabling vessels to remain out
OF dock half as many years as ours now
do months.
The additional expense incurred Is more
IMAM compensated for by the reduction OF
the cost and danger of docking. Another
advantage is that vessels can remain
longer on foreign stations without having
their bottoms injured by the accumula-
ton of harnacles and other injurious sub
stances.
