having in charge the mass meeting at
Media so directed. We then called up

pointed to make arrangements for the

The fence club, after the scatter at the

gether again. The weather WAS fine, the
buckwheat and corn ripe, and all were
busy.
The first question argued after the mem

agreed that it did and he, who is as stub

New York, April 25.-Detectives from
the central Office arrested three men in
Sixth Avenue early yesterday, who. the
police say, are the most expert Short
card" gamblers in the country.
They are Dayton r. Turner Albert
Todd and Francis A. Allen. who for years,
it is asserted, were members of the band
that heeced unsuspecting passengers on
the big transatlantic steamships.
The swindle said to be practiced by
these men is worked with the aid of a
small mirror fastened in the palm of the
hand, by means of which the man who
deals the cards is enabled to tell what
cards he is giving to the players. Mark
ed cards and a short" pack are also

NATIONAL GUARD PROTESTS.
The Various Organizations Desir:
to Retain Their Identity.


[ The officials at the War Department
have been besieged with kilograms from
State officers and members of the Ma
tional Guards. requesting further en-
lightenment on the Interpretation of the
new volunteer army law. Many of these
kilograms give evidence ur general OBJ
lection on the part of the National
Guard to become a part of the Army for
the occupation of Cuba If they cannot re-
tain their present identity in organiza-
ton.
Secretary Alger is expected to issue
today the rules and regulations of the
department which will govern the enlist
ment of volunteers. The governors of
the States will each be addressed in
letter from the Secretary of War. stat
ing the authority and object of raising
volunteer army, ana requesting the Sc
lection by the governors OF the company
and Tegimental officers for the troops TO
be raised in their States.
Recruiting rendezvous in charge of an
officer detailed by the department will be
selected at convenient points. Some of
the Regular Army posts Will be used as
recruiting stations
All volunteers who present themselves
at recruiting stations will be subject to
the regular medical examination, by a
medical officer detached by the depart
ment, prescribed for recruits in the
United States Army. Those who pass
this examination will be furnished trans
portation TO the camps of concentration,
where they will be forrhed in companies
and regiments.
National Guardsmen --no volunteer
will necessarily sever their connection
with their State organizations. This will
not prevent entire companies and regi-
ments of National Guards from enlisting
in a body in the volunteer army. proVid-
ed each member of the organizations can
pass the necessary examination for en-
| trance into the United States service.
Enlistments. however. will all be indi-
vidual and the mastering in of the whole
companies or regiments will be done by
| the United States officers only as con-
| cession to the wishes of men who may
desire TO serve with those with whom
| they have been identified in the State
militia.
| IN cases where only a part of a regi-
ment of National Guardsmen is found
| qualified to enter into the United States
service only the eligible men will be en-
listed and the regiment filed up with
other recruits, who may themselves be
other National Guardsmen.
! As result of a conference of Gen.
Ludington and Lieut.. Colonel Furey to-
| day rush orders will be issued 10 manu-
| facturers throughout the country for the
| quick delivery of about $4,000 uniforms
| several thousand tents and large quanti-
ties of miscellaneous camp utensils, wag-
| ons, etc.
| Reports received by Brigadier General

progress in the planting of submarine
mines in the harbors and river entrances.
