SECOND CALL FOR Volunteers.
Arrangements Completed for the Re-
cruftment of 75.OOO Men

cruftment of $4,000 Men.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin to-day completed arrangements
for the recruitment of 1900 additional
troops. under the second call for volunteers
1t has been decided, however. to withhold
the apportionment of the different States
and Territories from publication for the
present for the reason that such publications
at this time would tend to embarrass and
delay the officials of the department In the
organization OF She regiments. The adjutant
general of the army recently addressed tele-
grams 10 the Governors of the different
States and Territories in regard to the Sec
ond call for troops in form as follows:
Under the first call for rs 900 men ii was
contemplated that the number of original
organizations called, for should have the
maximum strength. but on account of addi-
tional organizations having to be accepted
this maximum had 10 be reduced to eighty
one enlisted man per company. The max
imum now contemplated is lOe enlisted men
per company of infantry. 100 per troop Of
cavalry, 173 pen light. 200 per heavy battery,
LIS OF all graGes per regiment of infantry.

REAL ESTATE As 4 BAROMETER.

There Is no better barometer Of pros.

prosperity.
During the period Of financial ana In.
dustrinl depression through which this

estate has declined to the lowest point

he no doubt. however, that the turning
point has at last been reached. and that

ADOLPNvS 6U6CH 6UYS THE
GRAND PACIFIC.

William Il. Kerr. secretary OF the
Grand Pacific Hotel company. and as
ISOLATED with Albert u. Glennie In the
management OF the house, disposed Of
his stock In the company Tuesday to
AdOlphus Busch. the capitalist and
brewer OF st. Louis. Mr.. Busch has
been a large stakeholder In the com.
pany since It's organization. Mr.. Glen.
ME, under che new organization. will
become the sole manager of the house.
Mr.. Busch IL said to have paid Mr..
Kerr dollar for dollar for the stock he
held-abOut $4,000.
In the new management Mr.. Glennie
has been succeeded In the Vice Presi-
dency by Martin Schultz, the Board Of
Trade man of this city.
The house was opened OH March II
last, and on scale of elegance cOnsid-
erably exceeding the old house under
the Drake management. Outside of Mr..
stockholders represented trade inter-
ests, the largest of which was that Of
Mr.. Busch. who subscribed about one
third of the capitalization of the COM
pany. which was S15O,OOO. Fred Son
tag, the representative of Mr.. Busch In
this city, was chosen President. Mr..
Glennie Vice President, ana Mr.. Kerr
secretary.
From time to time reports have been
current that change In the personnel
OF the company was imminent, as II
has been known that Mr.. Busch has
been negotiating for Mr.. Kerr's stock,
ana also has succeeded In securing sew
eral small holdings. by the purchase
of Mr. Kerr's stock he becomes the
owner OF n majority Of the stock.
Mr.. Kerr who has been an active
business man all his life, will engage
soon In another line of business. In
speaking of his retirement from the
company, he said 1t was due simply to
desire to return to a field Of business
more after the order of such as he had
followed prior to becoming Interested
In the Grand Pacific venture. He had
not yet decided what he should do, as
he had several projects In mind but
would undoubtedly be at work again In
q short time.
Mr.. Kerr formerly was In the real
estate business. He was Alderman, and
under Mayor Swift was Commissioner
Of Health.

RAiSiN0 CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The Republican politicians ana press
are expressing sense of horror AT the

II may be-that Democratic candidates
for office in Cook County have actually
assessed themselves considerable
amounts TO provide fund for the pay

there Is no accuracy in the statement ms
10 the sums which each candidate l. 10
pay, and there may he no truth in the
statement that an assessment has been
made.

ton. 1t Is the sum which they think
they ought to spare ana can afford to
spare from their private means for cam
paign purposes. II Is their own money,

1t is reported, and 1t is probably true,
that the Republican committees have
assessed all the officehOlders and EN-.
ployes of the State and of Cook County
a percentage on their salaries OF from
to 10 per cent a month. This assess
nent Is not TO be paid out of the private

LARGEST
WEEKLY CIRCULATION
IN CHICAGO.
JOB 10 SELL THE CRY HAL.

IL IL about time that public sentiment
made itself felt In no uncertain manner
upon the proposed job Of n sale Of the
city hall to the county for S1.OOO.OOO
and the removal Of city offices from
their present central location 60 the
West Side. The mere statement Of such
u proposition should be enough TO pro-
woke Its instant reputation. Hut II has
passed beyond the state of suggestion
To u vote Of the finance committee last
Friday recommending the advertise.
ment Of the city hall for sale.
II IL even said that Mayor Harrison
favors this deal ana the erection OF a
new city hall on the West Side. II 80.
the sooner he wakens to the full fatu.
ity OF the proposed deal the better for
his reputation for sanity and political
shrewdness. He must remember thas

sumahy deaf to the pleadings and
schemes of sections ana real estate Job.
hers.
What l. the matter with the present
location OF che city hall? Is II not as
near the center Of the business life Of
Chicago rs II can get unless It should
DE transferred to the site of the new
pOstoftice building;
In Chicago all lines of travel converge
toward the present city hall. All street
car lines from the north. south and
west lead 10 within a few blocks OF
Mayor Harrison's ONCE. which should
he ut the center Of civic life and not In
It's outskirts. Citizens In all sections OF
the city can get 10 the present city and
county buildings without detOurs. II
the city hall We're moved 10 the West
side residents OF the North ana South
sides would have 10 take two or three
street car transfers TO get there. and
only n very small part Of the West Side
would be In direct car communication
with the city Offices.
II Ii said that both the county and
the city need more space. Then what
Is to prevent their getting all the space
they need on the present site: Modern
architecture would give them four
times as much Office room rs they enjoy
in the city hall and county building.
And sensible reconstruction OF these
.avernous buildings would very easily
double their present office space. There
il plenty of room aloft.
In the near future the county and
city governments will be consolidated.
We are not going 10 tolerate this costly
dual form many years longer.
There Is not II single tangible argu-
ment In favor of removing the city hall
10 the West side. The only one that
can explain the action of the finance
committee i summed up in the one
word "jobbery." Political cOrmorantS
and contractors are sitting around look.
