INCREASING THE REGIMENTS.
Many New Recruits to BE Put Into
Existing Organizations.

Adjutant General Corbin says that it has
been definitely decided to use about $1,000
of the volunteers to be raised under the
new call in filling Out deficient regiments
already organized under the old call. 1t
will take about that number to fill each
company up to the maximum limit of 106
men. The remaining 25,0OO volunteers will
be organized into regiments of three bat
talions each and distributed among the
states and territories in exactly the same
proportion as under the first call. No cav
airy, however, will be accepted and only
a very limited number Of artillery. Through
urgent representations to Secretary Alger
some of the states were permitted under
the first call to furnish a greater number
of troops than they were legally entitled
to on the basis of population. Consequent
ly, in raising the 1900 men under the Sec
ond cali these inequalities will be remedied
as far as practicable, with the result that
some of the states may not be called on
to furnish any of the men needed. This
course probably may give rise to discon-
tent in states where men are anxious to
serve, but 1t is regarded as the only fair
way in which to proceed.

THE "JENKINS' EAR- ISSUE.

Capt. Jenkins. with his vessel The Rebecca

his lefe ear was chopped off 4 Spanish Of
iicer then tore off the bleeding ear, nuny it
in its owners face and bade him carry il

been done The story of low that li;tIe
morsel of brown, withered fiasa turned out
spark which kindled The :narticulate
slow-burning wrath of the English nation
INTO flame and swept England itself into
war. Carlyle tells:

looked so mad, was sane enough and coy-
cred tremendous issues. Half the world
lay hidden in embryo under il. Colonial

BIOGRAPHICAL NAMES,
Report of the Board in Connection
With n scheme for Uniformity.
From the Bulletin Of the American Geographical
Society

Report of the Board in Connection
With scheme for Uniformity.
From the Bulletin OF the American Geographical
Society.
The United States board on geographic
names was created September 4. 1890, in
order that uniform usage in regard to geo.
graphic nomenclature and orthography
might obtain throughout the executive de-
partments of the government, particularly
upon maps and charts. The total number
of it's decisions is now nearly 1000 or with
county names, over 6I00.
Among the decisions rendered are many
of names concerning which there has been
long dispute. Two forms of the various
spellings, Allegany and Allegheny are
given The former is adopted for the town
in Potter county, Pa. and the second for
the river and mountains in the eastern
United States. Cheyenne is taken as the
official spelling of the river of South Da-
kota tributary to the Missouri and not
Sheyenne nor Shyenne, but the river of
North Dakota tributary to the Red river is
spelled Sheyenne. The now well-known
starting point for the gold fields of Alaska
is spelled Dyea. The highest known peak
in the world is named Everest, and not
Gaurisankar. while the well-known volcano
of Japan is to be written Fujiyama, and
not any one of the dozen or more forms
writers in the past.
There is a well-marked tendency to drop
the word city as part of the name of the
towns and villages SO plentifully designated,
especially throughout the west: for ex-
ample, in Kansas. Garden City has been
shortened to Garden and Dodge City to
Dodge. The principal city of Cuba is desig-
mated as Habana, and not Havana. The
New York, retains its familiar form of He'll
Gate. The intermittent flowing river of
eastern Colorado is correctly termed Pur-
guage of the cowboy, the Picket Wire The
creek and the falls in the Catskills in
Greene county, New York. has been def
nitely designated as Kaaterskill while its
neighbor in the same county is known as
Plaaterskill. In writing about the gold fields
of Alaska We are to use the word Klondike,
and not Clondyke or other combinations
The lake in British Columbia and the river
in the same region and in portions of Mon
tana is known as Kootenai, and the lake in
northern Idaho is called Pend Oreille
The familiar name of Grey Town, SO often
used in reference to the Nicaragua canal. is
replaced by the official designation, San
Juan del Norte: while the seaport town of
Egypt on the Red Sea appears as Suakin
and not Sawakin nor Suakim. The re-
public of South Africa is TransyaaI and
not the South African Republic. The we'll
known volcanic peak, the highest in sight
from Puget sound, IS officially designated
as Mount Rainier, and, despite the earnest
protests of the citizens of Tacoma. is no
longer to be called Mount Tacoma on the
official maps.

SECRETARY LoSe INDIGNANT.
AspersiOns ON Naval O@cers By thu
Department Of Justice.

AsDersi0ns ON Naval OAcers by the
Department Of Justice.
The Secretary of the Navy has instructed
| Admiral Sampson. commanding the naval
| forces on the north Atlantic station, to
| convene q naval court of inquiry at the
earliest practicable moment to establish all
facts in relation to charges of alleged mis-
conduct on the part of prize commissioners
and deputy marshais on board the captur-
| ed steamers Cathalina and Miguel Jover.
These complaints were recently made the
| subject of an investigation by Mr.. J. NJ.
| STRIPPING. United States attorney at Key
West, Fla. He reported to the Department
| Of Justice. and copy of his report was re-
ferred by Attorney General Griggs to the
Navy Department. District Attorney Strip
| ling declared that the charges were ground
less and that Admiral Sampson and Naval
Cadet Jones had attempted to aSperse the
character of persons with whom they were
unacquainted by means of base and de-
liberate falsehoods.'
In notifying Attorney General Griggs of
the action of the Navy Department in or
dering further investigation of the mat
ter Secretary Long commented upon the re-
port of District Attorney Stripping in the
following caustic manner:
IN this connection the Navy Department
cannot fail TO express its surprise at the
tone employed in the letter of Mr.. Strip
iihS III Ieply ~ sampson CnarSeS,
and In that of your department transmit
ting the same. Rear Admiral Sampson
has passed upward of forty years of his
life in the naval service of the United
states. during which his career has been
most honorable one and his character for
integrity un!mpeachable: and he has the
confidence of the President To such an ex-
tent that he has been intrusted with the
most important command under the Navy
department in the present war with Spain.
Naval Cadet Needham l.. Jones, who made
the original charges. is an officer in whose
integrity the department has equal faith.
Yet Mr.. STRIPPING characterizes the re-
Fort of these officers as a 'willful and de-
ilDerate attempt to asperse the characters
OF individuals with whom he Cadet Jones)
mas no acquaintance by means of base and
deliberate falsehoods.' and the letter of th.
Attorney General, before the questions of
TACT In dispute have been submitted to legal
proof, in forwarding Mr.. Stripling's state
ment without disavowinS this extraordi-
nary language of a representative of the
Department of Justice. refers to the report
OF Rear Admiral Sampson as groundless
accusations
MS department cannot but regret the
forms of expression employed in the letters
feferred to. A copy of these will at once be
sent to Admiral Sampson for examination
ana report by a court of inquiry"
