INDIA WELCOMES CURZO..
The Press Regards Him as Eminently
Satisfactory.

Inc fresS Regards HIN Us Lh1nentiy
Satisfactory.
BOMBAY, August 1.-THE press Of India
welcomes the appointment of Mr.. George
nently satisfactory.
LONDON, August 11.-Mr. Curzon, the
new vceroy of India, will probably start
for Calcutta in November. The appoint
ment excites quite unusual interest.
All the morning papers publish, in addi-
ton to editorials, special articles reviewing
his strikingly brilliant career, wishing him
success and generally expressing approval
of the appointment, though some doubts
are suggested on the score of his compara-
tive youth as a statesman and the 1act
ward policy regarding the northwestern
frontier of India.
The Times says:
1T is striking appointment and great
experiment. At thirty-nine Mr.. Curzon OBJ
tains what may be truly called the most
splendid position under the crown; the po-
sition which, to most men, would be the
crowning reward of hfe's ambition, but
which, to this favored child OF fortune may
prove to be but q step.
I'VE sincerely trust, for the sake of both
Mr.. Curzon and the empire, that Lord
Salisbury's very interesting experiment
will succeed The first requisite must be
Mr.. CurzonS restoration to health. For
tunately he has always enjoyed robust
health in eastern lands. He has youth,
wealth and cleverness, and as the society
of Calcutta and Simla will soon discover, he
has a charming wife. These are no COM
mon endowments, which ought to assure
success on the social side of his career.
His friends say that his present indispo-
sition is the result of overwork, and they
are confident that India will prove his
salvation. He finds the late hours of par
liantent, combined with his official duties
at the foreign office, extremely trying"
The Daily Chronicle says:
Mr. Curzon risks his whole career on
this shining peak Unless he makes great
success he will make very great failure.
Many American ladies have graced the so
ciety of the old country as the wives OF
prominent men, but to none of them has 1t
been given to play such part in the Brit
ish empire as Mrs. Curzon will enjoy
The Standard says:
"Mr. CurZon is suffering from recrudes-
cence of his spinal malady. He had to lie
on couch in his private room in the house
of commons Tuesday night. Much synpa-
thy was expressed in the lobby at his
breakdown at such a point in his career" "

When asked about the list New York, he

Those fellows were handicapped. They

try and 9th Cavalry, took San Juan bill.

Yes, it was enough to scare 'enl, but

fered much discomfort during the recent

TROOPS AT THoRoUGHFARE.
Plans as Outlined for Gen. Davis
Command.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
THOROUGHFARE. Va, August 1.-THE
I'd Division of the ID Army Corps under
command of General Davis, is to continue
its march and eventually locate at Middle
town, Pa. Orders to be in readiness for the
trip were received last night, but the def
mite orders have not yet arrived. The plan
contemplated by General Davis is to march
his troops in a northeasterly direction to
Leesburg, Va, from there to the Poto-
mac, and cross the river at Point of Rocks
and on to Frederick. The next prominent
point on the route is Emmittsburg, Md.
and from there the division viii pass
through Hanover, York and Harrisburg, on
to Mid6letown. The distance by this route
is about 40 miles, and General Davis ex-
poets to average fourteen miles each day.
The army wagons that started on the way
to Camp Alger yesterday to transport the
1st Division to Thoroughfare We're hastily
ordered to return this morning. Judge Ad-
vocate Dudley of the United States army
arrived in camp last evening to try Assist

Senator Martin Of Virginia and Repre-
sentative Lamb called Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin today to ask for an investiga-
ton into the trouble that has arisen in
connection with the Sd Virginia Regiment,
in General Buffers command. Senator
Martin expressed the opinion that Major
General Butler, in issuing the order confin-
ing the Sd Virginia Regiment to quarters,
had acted under misapprehension, being
led by appearances to believe that the men
of the regiment have been guilty of gross
breach of discipline, when in reality such
not the case. He represented to Cen
erai Corbin the state of the case. as eX-
plained by the officers of the regiment, and
said that he thought al injustice was being
done both the regiment and the state of
Virginia. He said that he did not believe
that General Butler intended any injustice,
but that the order had been issued without
thorough investigation into the matter
AS a result of the interview. an Immediate
Investigation was ordered by the depart
neEt and Major Mills was ordered to pro-
ceed to the camp and to begin a thorough
investigation at once.

CAMP ALGER, Va, August IL, 1s9S.
Some one brought WORD into camp his
morning as to the order issued by the War
Department yesterday evening concerning
the mobilization vf volunteers at Middle
town, Pa, Thoroughfare Gap, Va, and
other places Since first hsaring the news
the men of the 1st Division have discussed
little else. Even a. headquarters this gen.
eral movement of troops is the most ab-
sorbiiag subject for discussion.
According to the advices received at corps
and division headquarters the I'd Division,
commended by Brig. Gen. Geo. w Davis,
and consisting of the 7th Illinois, Sd New
York. 4th Missouri 9th Pennsylvania, 22d
Kansas, I'd Tennessee 159th Indiana, 1st
Rhode Island, I'd Missouri and the recruits
from the SD and 34th Michigan and 9th
Massachusetts is to proceed from its pres
ent camp at Thoroughfare Gap to Middle
town. Pa Gen. Buffers command, the Sd
Virginia, G5th New York, 1st Connecticut,
1st New jersey, 7th Ohio and Sth, 12th and
18th Pennsylvania. comprising the 1st Di-
vision, is to be sent to Thoroughfare Gap.
There is, however, good reason to suspect
that these orders n ay be changed so that
either the I'd Division viii remain at Thor
cughfare Gap while the LIST Division goes
TO Mldd1etown, or that the I'd Division VIII
proceed as ordered and the lst Division so
TO Sea Girt, n. j. Maj. Gen. Graham and
Gen. Butler conferred on the subject this
morning, and the latter afterward went
into Washington to talk over the matter
with some of the officials at the War De-
partment- Gen. Butler is inclined to the
belief that his men will go to Thoroughfare
Gap as directed; hut many other general
ofhcers here are not without hope that the
lSt DIVISION may be sent to sCme perrna-
Lent camp instead of to Tho-ouohfara re Can

Continued Rain,


Continued rain has brought about almost
complete cessation of battalion and regi-
mental drills. Except those regiments
winch were first sent to Dunn Loring none
of the commands now camped there have
any available drill ground The wet
weather has accordingly not been an un-
mitigated evil. as far as the enlisted men
are concerned. But for the Sd Virginia the
rain has brought little relief Colonel
Naiie has for the last two or three days
posted a guard OF about 2J0 men, so that
resimental guard mount assumes the pro-
portions of battalion dress parade
Concerning the disturbance of which so
much has been said recently, neither the
officers at division headquarters or those
In The Sd Virginia are inclined to say any
thing further Colonel Males associate
officers are inclined to think that the false
position in which their regiment was placed
has now been done away with through the
medium OF The Star and prominent news
papers in Virginia. There is little DISPOSE
ton anywhere to air the matter further
Under the circumstances the course usual
ly pursued is to conduct an inquiry through
the medium of a court especially convened
for that purpose, and it is understood that
preliminary steps looking to this eud are
now being taken. Whatever the decision of
that court the Virginia men may be relied
upon TO accept it without question.
Captain Harry Meade, assistant surgeon
of the Goth New York, has been placed IN
charge of the typhoid ward in the division
hospital. He reported this morning that
the number of new cases had diminished
steadily until this morning there were only
five. 1t is his opinion that the epidemic is
now practically over.
The court-martial of the 1st Division re-
sumed sessions this morning for the trial
OF various offenders against the camp regu-
lations. No sentences have yet been pub
lisned.
