THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.
War Department Not Yet Prepared
to Announce the Programme,

WASHINGTON, May 2G.-The Off
cials of the War Department are not
yet prepared definitely to announce
their programme with respect to OBJ
tanning the 10000 volunteers called for
yesterday by Presidential proclamation.
There VIII be some consultation on the
subject between the President and the
War Department officers before q. con-
clusiOn is reached. 1t seems, however,
to have been determined TO fill to their
maximum strength the one hundred
and more regiments of the volunteers
already called for, most of whom are
organized at the minimum number al
lowed by the law. This was permit
ted in order that as great a number of
the National Guard might come into the
army as possible, thus giving an OPP
portunity to their officers to hold their
full rank in the volunteers.
The enlisted strength of most of the
volunteer regiments in many cases is
far below the maximum prescribed by
law, which is ,06O men in the infantry.
Approximately, 10000 more men will
be required to recruit these regiments to
their war strength, which will not leave
such a great number to be obtained un-
der the second call in new organiza-
tions.
The intention on the part Of the War
Department officials not to limit the
raising of the soldiers to the National
Guard organization will give an oppor-
tunity for the formation of independent
commands, a number of which already
have been offered to the Government
under the previous call. but which. be-
cause of the lack of room. had to be re-
jected Alaska has several thousand
who are anxious to serve the Govern
ment as soldiers, as indicated in a let
ter recently received here by a prom
inent official of that Territory. An op-
portunity may be given them to come
in under the second call.
1T is generally understood through
out the country said an army official
to-day, that soldiers who are re-en-
listing in the service and recruits who
enlist for the first time NAV be dis
charged at their own application at the
close of the war. The enlistment is for
a term of three years. but there is moth
ing in the law to prevent soldiers who
are received into the army while it is
being organized to its war strength
from being discharged as soon as the
war is over. This statement should be
made to coreret misapprehension that
exists in this regard throughout the
country When the war is over the
officials will determine at Just what

AT SAN FRANCISCO.
The Troops of Utah Cavalry Now
at Camp Richmond.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26. - The
troop of Utah cavalry, which was ex-
lpected here this morning, did not get in
until about $50 this evening. They
were met by a troop of the Fourth
Cavalry and escorted to Fort Rich
Imond. They went into camp tonight,
as the ground had been prepared for
them, and all that they had to do was
to erect their tents.
There was much rejoicing in the
Icamp of the Thirteenth Nebraska Vol

derclOthing and other necessaries for
the use of the men from Kansas, who
have needed these articles more than
any other regiment that has come here.
Before coming to this city the Kan
sans served for some time in their own
State, and their clothes and shoes be-
Icame worn out, and they did not have
an opportunity to replace them before
they were ordered west
A meeting of the Manufacturers and
Producers Association was held to-day
to protest against the patronizing of
Eastern firms when the goods can be
secured on this coast The manufactur-
ers claim they have been unjustly dis
criminated against, and point to the
fact that the shoe factories of this
coast can turn out 5000 pairs of shoes
a day at less cost than they can be
shipped from the East, and great
deal of time saved.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
A few days since the papers contained an
account of large meteor that was seen at
monday in several parts of the State. Its
course was from west to east and it was
flying with fearful velocity. In appearance
it was like great ball of fire, with long
streak of light following. Mr.. Edward NJ.
Jones, of this town, while in his cornfeld,
saw it pass almost directly overhead, very
close to the earth, and flying in a due east
erly direction. After receiving full infor-
nation from him as to the probable height,
direction, ETC.. / started in search of the
heavenly visitor and was rewarded by dis
covering its landing place, near an old saw
mill, one mile east of where ii was seen TO
pass; it was lying on top of pile of saw
dust. where it had evidently come to rest
after several rebounds in the soft mound
1t has all the marks of a stone meteorite.
and is thus easily identified as a stranger
to our sphere There are the ''cupules or
pock-marked sides. the brown edges evil
dence of the intense heat to which il was
subjected, and it is filled with some fine
shining particles resembling glass and field
spar. One side and the edges are rough
showing that the stone was recently broken
from much larger body and had not time
to fuse. 1t belongs to the stony and not to
the nickel-iron species. 1t is eleven inches
long, six and a half inches wide and three
and half inches thick and weighs exactly
eight pounds. The original stone, of which
this is a fragment must have weighed from
pieces but a short time before this fragment
reached the earth. | am quite proud of my
discovery, and expect to keep ii as a curious
and interesting memento of a far-away

business to Lines Via St. Louis.

Time is showing said a general passen-
ger agent. that differentials are of much
less value to road than its terminals. Our
we do business in connection with several
oinerential lines, but the request for
differential did not originate with our road
but with the connecting line. / think it was
a weakness of the officials of a strong line
to ask for a differential The value of a
differential to a road is greatly overesti-
mated have been investigating the mat
ter, and have found that but one in thirty
five who purchased tickets took advantage
of the differential to save 81, and the more
] study the matter the more convinced
am that running trains at good hours, on
fast time, with modern equipment and de-
sirable terminals was what drew business,
not differentials. If were general passen-
ger agent of a good road would be one of
the last to ask for a differential, but would,
so far as possible, meet the demands of the
travelling public as to service. However,
were to ask for a differential 1t would be
for considerably reduced rate, which
would make it an object to take the differ
entail line, for even the man in comfort
able circumstances would not, on one
dollar or two-dollar differential, think of
taking the differential line. This differen-
tlal business is on the wane. and has been
now practiced a longer time than l antici-
pated when the question came up: The
moment that road announces differentials
it is practically an announcement that 1t
is an inferior line to its competitor in some
way, and this differential is allowed to
offset this inferiorty."
