Sulphur.

Chicago. April 30.-If several of the
large match companies had not exercis-
ed extraordinary promptitude in laying in
"A supply Of sulphur within the last week
or ten days people OF this country would
have had TO resort to fiints or other
means for starting fires, for it is said
there would have been no matches on
the market within a comparatively short
time.
Sulphur with sabpeter and chlorate of
potash. besides furnishing the tips for
matches. is the principal ingredient of
powder. and as such is contraband of
war and liable to seizure. For several
weeks before the actual declaration of
hostilities all of the big importers of sui
phur. saltDeter and chlorate of potash
began to nail up their stocks.
Since then they have refused to sell a
pound of il until the cargoes now at sea
are safely landed and the imparteA
know just where they stand. Today there
is IL l. said, not an ounce of any of
these articles in the market. Several ves-
sci loads OF sulphur and chlorate of pot
ash. which are now on the way to the
United States from Italy. are. II is said
being closely watched for seizure by the
gunbOats of both navieS.
As soon as IL was evident that there
was going to be famine Of sulphur the
two big match companies. it is said. sent
agents to every part of the country with
orders TO buy every pound of sulphur
they could get hold of. These agents did
their work so well that there is little dam
ger Of the match supply giving out for
some time, but it is said that if hostili-
ties are very prolonged there will be no

consequently no homemade matches.

New York. April 30.-Great activity was
reported az all the places where men
were being enrolled for the war yester-
DAY. though the showers in the morning
made the recruiting slow before noon.
The disaffection in the State Guard Is re-
garded by many of the men as encour-
aging They think that If some of the
State regiments refuse to go they may
get the first chance TO enter the field.
A recruiting station for actors has been
opened at No. 3U Sixth Avenue. 1t is
proposed 10 raise company of 100 theat-
rical men and offer them TO the governor
for service at the front.
If out of the >. 500 men whom the Old
Guard has recruited a regiment can be
found physically up to the standard re-
cruiting viii cease tonight. AT the head
quarters Of the Old Guard yesterday it
was not possible to state just what num-
ber would be chosen. Physicians viii
make the examination at once and If
there are not enough men left out Of the
900 by tonight. then the recruiting will
continue on Monday.
Lieut.. J. Kent Mason. who is in charge
Of the Old Guard recruiting tent at
Bowling Green. announced yesterday
morning that four young men. who de-
Seventh Regiment. had inquired regard
ing enlisting in the Old Guard regiment.
They said they had served ten years in
the National Guard. some of the time in
the Seventh Regiment. and had become
disguSted with the course of that COM
mand in deciding not 10 volunteer for
active service. On learning from Lieut..
Mason that the Old Guard regiment
would not be needed for some time If at
all, they departed without signing the en-
listment blanks and without giving their
names.
At the tents of the Old Guard in City
Hall Park and in Union and Madison
Squares recruiting was slow in the morn.
ing on account of the rain. but became
hrisker in the afternoon.
The returns from the various tents
were reported to the armory al Broad
way and FOrty-ninth Street. last night
and the total for the day was 445. They
were recruited as follows: Madison
Square, IL; Union Square 1S5: CITY Hall
l6l; Battery. 81 This makes a grand to-
tai recruited by the Guard of . 166. II Is
believed now by the recruiting officers
that the 5000 mark will be exceeded and
enough men obtained to make three
strong regiments. The regiments are to
be officered by the members of the Old
Guard. The Old Guard Band of ffty
pieces will give concert Monday after
in mi
