REGIMENTS NAMED.
Another List Prepared of Those to Be
 Mustered Out.


 Washington, September 1.-The war de- partment has issued the following orders for the transfers of troops for the purpose of being mustered out at their destinations:
 First Wisconsin from Jacksonville to Camp Douglass.
 Fifth Ohio from Fernadina. Fla, to Co., 1umbus, o.
 First United States Volunteer Cavalry (Rough Riders) at Montauk Point.
 Thirty-third and Thirty-fourth Michigan from Montauk Point to Camp Eaton, Island Lake. Mich.
 First Connecticut from Dunn Lorring to Mantle.
 First Illinois infantry from Montauk to armory in Chicago.
 Fifth Iowa from Jacksonville to Des Moines.
 Third Virginia from Camp Alger to Rich mond.
 First Mississippi from Chickamauga to Lauderdale Springs, Miss.
 Second Mississippi from Jacksonville to Lauderdale Springs, Miss.
 It is probable that the First Ohio voun- teer infantry will be ordered mustered out in a few days. The regiment is now at Fernandina, Fla. Quite a controversy has arisen in regard to the disposition of the regiment, the officers desiring to remain in the servce, while the men want to go home. The men have asked for their discharge, not in a body, but individually. and it is probable that the regiment will be mus tered out as a whole.

Star Pointers Great Race

Readville Mass, September 1-At the trotting park here today Star Pointer was sent against his record of 1:59A, but failed to beat it by half second. Time by quar- ters. :291k :59; 1:2SA; 1:59%.
 Grattan Boy won the Massachusetts stake, $5,0OO
 An hour before Pointer came out 1t rained for few minutes, and when Me- Clearly drove onto the track the drops were still coming down. The track, how ever, was in good shape, and there was no wind, so it was decided to go for the record. When with running mate Point CT made the quarter in 291a, which gave en- couragement, and the half in 49A and it looked as if he would do something to the record The terrific pace was kept up to the three-quarter pole, which was reached in 1:2SA, and then came the question of endurance The great horse was urged all through the home stretch. but he did not quite reach the wire in time.
 The afternoons sport was the best of the week. The 2:05 pace, after Pointer, was the great attraction of the afternoon, and the crowd saw some fine racing in the five

WHAT THE TsUNG u YAMEN IS

WHAT THE TsUNG u YAMEN IS From the London Leader.
 The average newspaper reader who reads a good deal of heated interviews between foreign envoys and the Tsung Li Yamen may be slightly mystified as to the nature of the latter body with it's outlandish name. The Tsung Ii Yamen is in fact, the Chin csc foreign office. In times gone by the Chinese emperor Cor the "Son of Heaven D as he calls himselD scorned to receive the foreign ministers Cor 'outer barbarians'), and all matters relating to other countries were handed over to Li Tan Yuen, a de- pertinent of the ministry of kites. which dealt with dependent and tributary nations the pleasant Chinese theory being that ali emperor.
 But the joint Anglo French expedition of lo6l rather upset this idea of imperial dig nlty, and special foreign board (the Tsung
 i famen was established as a medium between the sovereign and western states. IL started off with three members the chief or SSSom was the famous Prince Kung. a younger brother of the then reigning em- peror; In 1S62 four more members were added, and in 1869 the number was raised to ten, while in more recent times if has varied between eight and twelve. No one Knows on what principles the members arc selected, and being chosen from tba ,ra oInce' the ceremonial and even the criminal departments, they display a delightful ie- norance of their own especial line of busi- ness. '-Ae oi ousi-
 Their methods of transactine imnortan+ diplomatic business are unique. They sit round table loaded with sweetmeats while attendants hand round cups of tea to the foreign diplomatic devils, and any other visitors who may care to drop in Then there are secretaries and attendants. and pipe bearers; and at this splendid free and easy the diplomatic situation Is discussed
 The foreign minister is invited to argue the whole matter out with the board and then tremendous discussion takes place. which is largely a matter of lung power and physical endurance. for all the Tsung Ii Yamen go at him at the same time (all speaking together), and if the foreigner is not in good condition it's a hopeless case for him altogether.
 The board never makes decision If it can possibly help 1t; 1t will argue your head off if you like, but no resolution, If you please. Everybody is anxious to put the responsibility on everybody else, and bent on putting off his final day of judgment to as remote a period as possible. "To get a decision from Tshng Ii Yamen," said one unhappy diplomatist, lis like trying to draw water from a well with bottofnlees bucket"

MYsterious Disappearance

Jackson, Miss, September 1-John Le- clerc, manager of the Culbertson syndicate oil mill in this city, has mysteriously dis appeared and the authorities of the city believe that he has committed suicide. He left a note at the mill last night disposing of several business affairs and stated that he was going to take swim in Pearl river. The tone of the note clearly indicates that he contemplated self-destruction. The river is now being dragged for his body. MT. Lecerc was about 30 years of age and has a wife and three children in Paris, Tex. He came to Jackson two months ago. His accounts are all straight, and no sus- picious facts have been developed.

STERNBERG READY
 FOR AN INQUIRY
Believes That an Investigation
 Will Vindicate Him.
THE CRAZE TO CRITICISE
Without Regard to Truth or Justice Will Not Influence the War De- partment to Order a
 Court of Inquiry.

Washington, September 1.-Surgeon~Gen- eral Sternberg today sent the following let ter to a New York medical publishing house, which made inquiries of him con- corning the conduct of the war, with ref erence to the medical department, and es- pecially about the subject of having an immediate investigation of his bureau. He said:
 T am ready at any time for 0 complete investigation with reference to my admin. istration of the affairs of the medical de- partment; but the war department is not disposed to make such an investigation as the result of sensational newspaper articles. There is at present a craze to criticise with out regard to truth or justice. have no doubt there will be congressional investi- gation into the conduct of the war; but l don't feel at liberty at present 10 insist n an investigation for my own vindication because 1t would be contrary to the general interests of the service. It would make 1t necessary for me to give all import ant off cial work, which at present almost over- whelms me. for the purpose of devoting myself to representation of the facts re- lating to my administration. It would make 1t necessary to take clerks away from their daily tasks in order to look up the docu- mentary evidence on file in my office and in the meantime important matters would necessarily be neglected and the sick of all parts of the country would suffer- It would make it necessary to call upon the medical officers who are now urgently needed for the care of the sick in our various camps and hospitals to come to Washington as witnesses and all this to satisfy the clamor of Irresponsible newspaper reporters. There has been no official complaint with refer ence to my administration of the medical department.
 with regard to Montauk Point, intend to send at once Lieutenant Charles Smart, an experienced medical officer and the pro- lessor of hygiene in our army medical school, to make thorough sanitary inves- tigation. To go myself, such as I would like to do, would be to neglect important official duties in connection with the supply of hospitals, movement of hospital trains, hospital ships, etc.,

 The PIG trot brought a darge horse in, George who not only faced the starter for the first time, but took all three heats in the easiest possible manner. The unfinish- ed Massachusetts stake was finally won by Grattan Boy. Albatross, the guideless wonder made half mile in 1:02A.

Six or Them Injured, and One Will
Lose Hand.
Middletown, Pa, Oct. 29.-The las,
long train of weary soldiers from Phil
adelphia reached Camp Meade last
evening. and the men went direct to
their quarters. General Graham arrived
this morning, and the last arrange
ments for moving the troops south are
being made. 1t Is expected that there
Will be movement made by Nov. Z.
and the entire corps will get away by
Nov. 20.
An accident that might have result
ed very seriously occurred to the train
on which the Ninth Ohio colored troops
were going to Camp Meade from Phila-
delphia. The train had reached Hum
melstown, on the Reading road. and
was waiting to be switched on to ths
branch road that goes to Middletown.
While standing on the switch a freight
train from Harrisburg came along on
the same track, and before 1t could be
tagged 1t crashed into the troop train,
smashing the rear car and injuring six
men, all Of Company c. Floyd Stewart
had his hand crushed, and 1t will have
to be amputated. The cause of the &C.
cident is alleged to be the carelessness
Of the fagman in not going back far
enough to stop the freight train, he not
taking the usual distance customary
where train is tagged. Half a dozen
freight cars were smashed, and the car
containing the horses on the troop train
was broken open and the animals es-
capped, adding to the confusion.

A couple who were separated by the
civil war were few days ago. after
nearly oyears apart, reunited by acci-
dent. in Newark. o. Samuel Gassa-
way resided at Mount Vernon when
the war broke out. He had been mar
ried short time before he enlisted,
and went to the front. After the war
was over he returned to his home, but
all trace of his wife was lost. She had
heard that he had been killed. and had
gone away. He, too, wandered away,
and settled near Steubenville, where,
after several years passed. he married
second time, believing his wife dead.
Mrs. Gassaway also married again,
and. n few years ago, her second hus-
band having died. she returned to the
scene of her early home. Gassaway's
wife and children having died, he went
to Mount Vernon the other day, and
was dumfounded to find the woman he
had married long ago. Her name was
Mrs. Jesse lleadington. Mutual ex-
plantations followed, and the couple de-
cided to renew their marital relations.
