marked revival in business all over the

Washington, April 25-General Selden
Connor, until recently adjutant general
Of Maine, is in Washington. Speaking of
the mastering Of the volunteers, he said
he felt confident that the twelve hundred
or more men that Maine would be ex.
pected to furnish would be very superior
troops He says that In the modern sys-
ITEM of warfare, with extended formation
and long range rifles, good marksman-
ship will count mors than ever. and every
Maine Guardsman is a marksman. and a
large proportion of them sharpshooters.
Az reliance upon one another is the
primary element of good soldiers he be-
lieves this knowledge that every man can
make his shots tell will count with the
Maine boys. Maine also some time ago
adopted the modern three battalion
formation, which the regular army is
only now getting. The Maine troops also
have the modern conical tents and a
splendid blanket equipment. No guard
win go into the field in better shape.
The general understanding is that it is
the purpose of the President, as has before
been stated in the PRESS, to use the
regular army for the first invasion and
not to call on the volunteer army to leave
our shores until after they have become
thoroughly seasoned. The departure of
several of the vessels from Sampson's fleet
for Matanzas, reported in the Havana
dispatches this morning, is interpreted to
be a movement in conjunction with de-
oision which has been reached to imme.
diately land five Thousand regular troops
at Matanzas or some other convenient
points in that direction, to establish a
base of supplies. 1t is understood that
arrangements have been completed for
establishing communication between
such base of supplies and Gen. Gomez's
army which is being concentrated for the
purpose Of forming junction.
The hour of the departure Of troops
from cur shores will be determined only
by the question of how fast 1t is possible
to get the five thousand mon on transports
and put them under naval escort. A

provisions for feeding the destitute with

The Cruiser Minneapolis Sighted
Last Evening.

Boston, April 25.-The arrival of the
commerce destroyer Minneapolis off Cape
Cod at dusk tonight, created great excite
men in this city and all sorts of rumors
we're soon current ON the streets as to the
motives which prompted the Navy Depart
ment to order her in this direction. With
the Columbia at Newport and the Mime
apolis in Massachusetts Bay, it seemed to
many that the national government either
scented danger from toray by Spanish
cruisers and had sent these swift ships to
protect the New England coast, or what
appeared more reasonable. had stationed
the cruisers at convenient point to pro.
tect the Paris on her way from the Grand
Banks to New York.
The Paris will pass within few hun
dred miles of Highland Light, probably
on Friday, on her way to the Nantucket
South Shoal lightship, which she turns
to make her final run of three hundred
miles to port.
It would be but matter of few hours
at the most for the Columbia and Mime.
apolis to dash out from Massachusetts
Bay, pick up the unprotected liner and
keep Off any Spanish cruiser that might
be lying in wait for her off Nantucket
Shoals. The new cruiser Topeka being q

about Friday or Saturday, but she should
be able to take care of herself without as.
sistance.

as to the intentions Of Commodore Schley
in SO hastily rushing away the flyers
Columbia and Minneapolis from Hamp-
ton Roads but 1t is believed that their
purpose is to shelter the Paris or some Of
the other liners from attack at the handf
of some Spanish cruiser.
There was talk of establishing supply
depot in the Philippines to meet the COM
ditions in Asiatio water. Our feet there
now has no home and under neutrality
laws the stay Of the ships in any port Is
limited to few hours. This is unpleas-
ant, besides involving the expenditure of
great deal Of coalsso that it may become
necessary for Commodore Dewey to seize
a port in the Philippines and fortify q
as a base of supplies. The department
today purchased two more tugs, the Hov.
tense of New Orleans and May Willick Of
Galveston.
The feature Of interest at the War De-
partment was the despatch to the govern
ors of the states and territories Of circu-
lars notifying them how many men they
would be expected to furnish as volun-
teers, how they should be apportioned
among the three arms of the service and
where they should rendezvous in tho
United States army. "A good many de-
tails remain to be arranged in order to
carry out the Departments projects Of

Department got notice today that John
Logan, son of the late Senator Logan,
had raised a cavalry regiment which he
offered to the government under his own
command. It is hoped that this can be
accepted as a part Of the quota of men
to be furnished by Illinois.
John Jacob Astor, of New York, not
content with Offering the government
his splendid yacht Nourmahl and free
transportation for troops and supplies
over the railroad in which he is interested
has come forward with the notice that
he has raised and equipped at his own
expense q battery of artillery which he
desires to offer to the government under
his own plans for service in Cuba. The
offer probably will be accepted. although
the Department. has been deluged with
offers to raise volunteers in this way to
the aggregate number OF at least SO, 600
men. AS the Presidents s authority on
the volunteer bill is to enlist only three
regiments outside ot the regular quotas to
be furnished by the state, there is not
much opportunity to accept the services
of these PARROTS. The order to the dis
trict military to 60 into camp here at
Soldiers home was revoked just at the
moment when it was in execution, owing,
it is said to the fact that the sudden call.
ing away of SO many employees from the
Departments without notice threatens to
cripple the government service.
The action of the President in recon-
mending a formal declaration Of war
was welcomed by officials in every direc-
tion as putting the present. struggle on
more dignified basis and tending to the
avoidance of international complications.

A Bismarck Duel.

A duel in which Bismarck was once
engaged had a very amusing origin. 1t
occurred when he was chief secretary
of the Prussian legation at Frankfort.
He went much into society, and one
Christmas attended big ball. During
the height of the festivities Bismarck's
attention was directed to an exceedingly
pompous individual who strutted about
the room. This was a M. de Clancy,
noted French duelist. Later on this I'M
portant individual took part in dance,
but having omitted to leave his hat at
the proper place had perforce to hold 1t
out almost at arms length while he
danced. The spectacle tickled Bismarck
immensely, and as the Frenchman came
sailing majestically along Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped coin in
to the hat A duel was one of the next
days events. Though it was with pis-
tolls Bismarck escaped unhurt, while
his adversary was wounded.

The English Broom.

One of the botanical oddities Of Massa-
chusetts is the existence of the English
broom, which grows in only two places
in Sterling, this county, and IN Sa-
lem. It is not native plant, and how
it got across the water is a mystery
Perhaps some homesick colonist caused
it to be sent to him, that the hills about
his new home might have the familiar
appearance of the old country. 1t is
beautiful golden yellow in color and
grows in a compact, spirelike plant,
with blossoms close together. So Ghica
are the stalks that the pastures are like
sheets of gold, and at first sight seem
to be buttercups il masses. Arba Pierce
brought some of it into the city and
proposes to make display of it at the
exhibition Of the horticultural society.
Every one has heard of the broom.
English and Scotch literature is full OF
it. It was the flower of the royal house
of Plantagenet. In fact, the name Plan
taganet is the French for broom plant
genet. Their ancestor, the Count An
iou, wore a string of broora as badge,
therefore their name. The name broom
is given it because Of its usefulness for
the purpose. (Mass.) Ga

The Awkuardness Of Being a Prince.


The Prince of Wales is placed by fats
in the most difficult position Of any
English subject. Libeled incessantly,
continuously and indignantly, silence
is imposed on him by reasons Of state,
If he patronizes the drama, for the
neglect of which the queen is persist
entity blamed, the prince is depicted as a
trifer, who finds in the society OF
mummers relief from the tedium of
wasted life. If he encourages our ma
tional sports, he is a profigate and is
compared with royal predecessors,
whose conduct would certainly rot
commend itself today even to the
stanchest supporters of monarchy. Ii
he does not lavish money be does not
possess, he is said to be stingy. 1t he
makes an outlay on church at Sand
ringham or a ball at Marlborough
House, he is spendthrift. Unworthy
friendships are attributed to him with
men upon whom he has never set eyes
or with whom he may perhaps have e2-
changed casual word. If he plays
game of cards, he is gambler.
Fierce as is the light that beats upon
a throne, the cruel and searching illuml-

him the disabilities and responsibilities,
while denying him either the power OF
