The contemplated cali of President lie
kinney for Ts.soe volunteers has sfir1u-aseE
to renewed vIru.ence the ambition Of ilIs
companies recently organized in this city.
They are four ia number and each =
anxious 10 be mustered into the United
States army These companies are un-
armed and ungniformed and nave no eo--'
has been dishanded by the governor. The
mes have been drilling faithfully since
the first call for volunteers and are In
good shape now to stand examination FOR
muster. From among these men al who
were rejected by the mastering officer at
Camp Rogers have been eliminated. IL
In an entirely new set OF men and none
has been accepted who IL not cons.d-
cred capable OF passing the rigid exarnin-
alton.
Reorganlzed ID and companies are
made up Tor the most part Of national
guar6smen who were unable 10 close UP
their business affairs In grne to go at
the first call. bat are now ready and anx-
totsa 10 volunteer.
A tender of their services was yester-
day selegraphed 10 Governor Rogers and

second lieutenant not yet appointed.
On . call for Ib,c1 volunteers the quota
from this state will be about two bat
taiions OF go men each. 1t - very pos
e.hie that Washington. being 90 much
nearer the seat Of trouble than eastern
states. may be called on 70 supply a
whole regiment. In any event Governor
Rogers has plenty or men TO choose from.
II Is said that he has now on hand ten
tere Of services from s.xty-three COM
panies In this state.
Tho question as to who shall lead the
detachment Is one OF absorbing interest,
though II Is not now receiving the at,en-
ton II viii attract later. There IL con-
siderable bitterness among national
Kusrdsmen over the manner IN which off,
GERS wsre appointed for the companies
row on their way to the front. A large
number OF tho men were recruited in
Seattle while the officers were taken from
elsewhere.
Only two companies had Seattle off,
GERS. while probably Il third or the regi-
ment was recruited I'm tlrs ci,v I. is
proposed this time that If possible se-
attic Mon shall so under Seattle off,
GERS
As for the chief command there are
many who would Ike To see Brig Ger
Mcintyre secure the appointment and
hard fight vii he made by MS friends
IL In said that he Is willing and even
anxious to so 20 the front tn command
OF this detachment. as he nas been able
10 res his business interest. IN shane for
a prolonged absence As hr.gadier gen.
erai of the National Guard he stands a
very prominent chance or preferment
