month. The motive power department
Of this railroad has looked upon the
rumor with considerable amusement.

to see gowns exhibited or told

At its best now. 1t is collection

this late date, as it will be a decided
change for the better.
The several regiments of the corps
were mustered yesterday morning
This ceremony, it will be remembered,
chiefly consists of certifying the rolls
on the strength of which money Is ap-
prOpriated for the payment of the men,
and for this reason it is a very interest
ing one. The Thirteenth was mustered
promptly at o'clock. The companies
were first marched In review past Col
onel Coursen and staff who, when the
regiment was again in columns of COM
panieS. closely inspected the men, in
quired about their equipments and NOR
ale. Muster proper then took place,
Majors Wood and Fellows going
through their respective battalions.
TENT ABLAZE.
Yesterday morning while the regi-
ment was being mustered on the field Il
tent in Company BIS street was seen
to be in ablaze. 1t was the domicile of
Privates James Atkinson, John Hart
man and James Conway, and was
popularity known as the Conway
House." The moment the fire was no
ran with all possible speed. The most
they could do was to prevent the blaze
from spreading to the nearby tents, ana
to save what property they could. As
it was, very little was saved, and belts,
blouses, oVercoats and capes, under
clothes, blankets and towels We're de-
strOyed-in all amounting to about $72,
a loss which must be sustained by the
men themselves. They have. on that
account, the sympathy of the members
Of the regiment.
When the three terminates left their
quarters they placed a pan Of char
Goals inside so as to keep the place
warm, and it is supposed that the wind
must have blown spark from the
pan onto some of the clothes, thereby
causing the fire.

An official list of all the candidates
has been posted by Major Hobbs in a
cor spiCuous place in each regimental
cailr. After the polls close the ballots
will be sealed and sent to the secretary

1.-while, no doubt, little distressing
TO individuals. it is perhaps a good sign
for the Second Army Corps in general
that the men are complaining always
of being hungry and say they do not
receive enough to eat. This morning
four companies in the First Rhode Is
land whose daily bread" for the past
week had rivalled in meagerness the
fare of any ascetic, laid down their
arms and positively refused to drill, or
10 work on the rations which they had
been receiving. Their complaints were
found to be not unfounded. Though
nothing like this has as yet happened
nearer home still the members of the
Thirteenth feel about themselves in
dividually that "lean and hungry look"
which yearns for a more liberal al
lowance.
The law military, as well as the civil,
Is decidedly averse to inflicting an un-
usual or an excessive punishment upon
anybody unless it be done by due pro-
cess Recently a case of spread
eagling'' men has taken place within
this corps. The men were spread on the
ground and punished till they would
obey. This was done at the arbitrary
will of the commanding officer, and,
not having been adjudged by any court
martial, was a dangerous precedent.
Major General Graham has prohibited
the practice in future.
NEW TENTS.
Good things come slowly, but it is
better late than not al all. Several
months ago the regimental quartermas-
ter Lieutenant II. b. Cox, made the
round of the company streets three or
four times, and inspected and con-
demned those tents which were unfit
for use. 1t was also understood then,
and, in fact. all during the excessively
hot weather, that the ordinary tent,
12xSx7 feet, was not only incOnvenient
for the accommodation of three, four, and
in some cases, of five men, but dam
gerous for the reason that, when crowd
ed like Il tenement house. IT would offer
a fruitful field for the development Of
disease germs. Many attempts We're
made to remedy the evil, but to ac-
cumplish this effectively was not pos
sible, as the tentage supplies were in
sufficient The idea, however, must not
have been lost sight of, as the following
order. recently issued from corps head
quarters shows:
"Regimental Independent Battalion
and company commanders will immed-
lately make requisition upon the chief
uuartermaster of the corps for common
tents, sufficient, with tentage they now
have, to allow one tent for every two
enlisted men of the strength Of their
commands"
This order will be welcomed even at

LIEUT.. HOBSON'S
 PRESS CLIPPINGS

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 When Lieut. Richmond Pearson Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac, shortly before the outbreak of hostilities between this country and Spain, gave an order to local press clipping bureau for newspaper clippings containing his name, he probably little realized the proportions of the task he was preparing for himself at the close of the war. His modesty is shown by the fact that his first order was for 100 of these clippings He thought perhaps that If the fortunes of war should bring his name to the attention of the pTblic as often as that he would be well favored, and up to the memorable night when he sent the Merri- mac to the bottom of the marrow channel leading to the entrance of the harbor of Santiago, his estimate seems to have been just, as less than a score of clippings had been collected Since that time, however. more than 5,oO0 clippings have been gath

a chip of the old block of American war riors, who believe that,the only way to get on in war is to do your best to get killed" The Sheffield England) Index says the deed was lone of undoubted heroism, but that it was far more picturesque and gives a touch of genuine romance to the war, in which, up to the present time, the word romance has had a modern and satirical meaning. Owing to the fine chvalry and splendid generosity of the Spaniards Hob son and his men ran no risk of being killed, as their only object was to sink the ship and not to injure it's crew" The London Referee also commends the chivalry of the Spaniards and refers to message sent by the Spanish commander to President Mckinley, as follows:' Tt was a really fine melodramatic deed, and Lieutenant Hobson deserves the immortality he has gained by the coinage of the word .Hob- sonising.' Magnificent, too, was the 'Span- ish chivalry' with which the performance was received. Spain scored almost as heavily as America over the sinking of the Merrimac. The Spanish commanders ac- tion and his message to President McKin- ley congratulating him upon the splendid manner in which the manoeuvre had been carried out are worthy the paimy days of romance. Presumably this refers to Ad- miral Cervera.s message to Admiral Samp- son.-Ed0 few more incidents like the Merrimac and the War News will be

The war department at Washington Is now issuing commissions to the most re- markable regiment in the world.
 This is the regiment of yellow fever im- munes stationad at Camp Caffrey, near covington, La
 The regiment is composed of 1-03S men, all of Nyhom have passed through yellow fever, that most terrible of all scourges, and have come out of 1t alive. Having been bitten by this horrible calamity of the south, they could never feel it aagin and they are therefore prepared to go to Cuba and it's jungles, and live there forev- CT.
 The regiment is headed by Colonel Dun- can Norbert Hood, a West Pointer, and one of the most gallant young soldiers in the United States army. Colonel Hood Is the son of General John Bell Hood, the great confederate leader whose memory is tender to the entire south

 Lieut.. Hobson will probably spend many hours trying to recognize himself among the pictures that have been printed over his name in the foreign papers and in efforts to make sure whether he is wearingI the uniform of the German emperor's Imperial Guard of the Irish Fusilliers, or, per haps, of the French Grenadiers. It Is evi- dent that the illustrated papers of France in their anxiety to be first took from their stock cuts the ones which seemed to bear the most resemblance to the hero, though the insignia on the cap and collar might designate a rank in the French army in stead of the American navy. The same Is true of the papers of Italy, Austria and some of those in England. Such German papers as printed his pictures did it well, the uniform being correct in every particu- lar. Some of the Mexican and Canadian papers evidently decided to be on the safe side in this respect and left the cap out of the picture, showing Hobson in a plain cadet uniform.
 Several Spanish papers devoted nearly a column to the exploit, and treated it with

 The clippings were of all sizes, colors and shapes, varying in size from full-page de- scriptons to three or four line paragraphs in the papers of South Africa and Aus tralia. About 2000 were editorial para graphs from the papers of the United States and Canada, commenting Hobson's bravery.
