PEOPLE you BEAR OF.

i Among the potentates of the world
who will spend some time at Paris in
the year OF the exposition is the shah of
Persia. who expects to arrive at the
French capital in October, 1899. It was
at first reported that the oriental ruler
intended to visit France this winter,
but, much to the relief of Frenchmen,
the rumOr was unfounded. They have
not yet forgotten the advent of the
present rulers predecessor, who was
one of the most expensive guests ever
entertained by any government.
One of Admiral Dewey's pet aver
sions is the man who claims to be
acquainted with him. On a, recent oc-
casiOn a stranger walked up to him, eX-
tended his hand and exclaimed: "Ad-
miral, I bet you don't remember me-
Admiral Dewey, recognizing in him one
of these bores, answered lacOnically,
you've won your bet" and walked off.
The admiral, by the way, is a IepidOp-
terist, or collector of butterflies. and
has secured thousands of magnificent
specimens during his voyages He has
undoubtedly the finest private collection
of butterflies in the United States. 1t
is insured for $4,000 or $8,00O-only a

AT CAMP THOMAS
It Is Expected That Thirty Thousand VOL
unteers Will Be Soon Sent
to the Front,

Chlckamauga Park. Ca. July 21.-
GeneratBrook and Colonel William
Richards, adjutant general of the First
corps, who went to Washington to con-
fer with Secretary Alger upon the pro-
posed Porto Rican expedition, returned
to Camp Thomas yesterday. General
Brooke declined to be interviewed, pre-.
ferring that nothing official shall be
said until orders are issued. The plans
for an important movement of troops
from Camp Thomas, are, however, pro-
crossing.
1t was learned from excellent au-
thority that it is the earnest desire of
General Brooke that the entire First
corps from the expeditionary force
shall go from here. This would mean
q departure from Chickamauga Of
about 10000 volunteers. Advices are ex-
pected from Washington at once, and
upon their receipt 1t is probable that
immediate orders will be issued to be-
gin the movement.
There is still some question as to
whether the corps will go as organized.
There are some fine regiments In the
Third corps that are thoroughly drilled
and equipped, and Its not improbable
that some of these will be included In
the force, being substituted for regi-
ments that have all along been identi-
fed with the First corps.
Colonel Rockwell handed out for dis
tribution in the First and Second div
isions OF the First corps yesterday
afternoon 400,0 900 rounds Of ball cart
ridges. The artillery brigade received
a large quantity Of equipage. Several
hundred thousand rounds Of ammuni-
ton arrived last night, and will be dis
trlbuted at once,
