VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS.
General Order issued in Regard to Enlist
ment in the Regular Army.

Washington, Oct. 27.-By direction of
the secretary of war, Col. Thomas
Ward, acting adjutant general has is
sued a general order in regard to the
cases of members of volunteer organ
izations who enlisted therefrom in the
regular army. 1t is explanatory of a
previous general order issued in Sep
TENDER last, prescribing that such men
VIII be given credit for their service in
the volunteer army. The endorsement
required by the enlistment papers of
men who have served in the volunteer
army, and who subsequently enlist in
the regular army, results in giving such
soldiers credit on the records of the de-
partment for time actively served in
the volunteer army, but without inten-
ton that the term of enlistment or
re-enlistment in the regular army shall
be shortened by reason Of volunteer
service
The principal advantages, however.
accrue to those who re-enlist in the
regular army within three months
from date of discharge from the vol
unteer army In their cases the time
actually served in the volunteers, is
added to the time served in the regular
army in computing the soldiers serv-
ice pay, from time to time"
Future enlistments and re-enlist-
ments in the regular army will not be
governed by the same rules which pre-
vailed during the war with Spain On
May 10 last Maj Gen. Miles, with the
approval of the secretary of war, issued
an order announcing that ''men enlist
ed or re-enlisted in The regular army
during the war may be informed that
they will be granted their discharges, IL
desired, at the close of the war, upon
their individual applications Gen.
Miles today issued an order revoking
the previous order, and announced that
its provisions would not govern cases
Of men hereafter enlisted or enlisted
in the regular army Under this ac-
ton all enlistments or e-enlistments in
the regular army will be for a term of
three years. regardless of the present
status of the negotiations with Spain
for peace.

NEW YORK MARKET.
Speculative Activity Broadens
Out Considerably.
Trading in Tobacco and Sugar Are the
Leaders in Days Business.

New York, Oct. 27-The stock mar
ket showed a continuation of yester-
days strength today, and the specula-
tive activity broadened out considera-
bly, in addition.
There was not quite such conges-
ton of trading in Tobacco and Sugar,
although those stocks continued to be
the leaders in point of activity, They
were traded in nearly all day at a level
below yesterdays close, though each
stock advanced slightly above yester-
days price for a brief interval The
covering of shorts, which caused yes
terday's rise in Sugar left that stock
weak again, and the extreme decline
from the high point was Ia
A rally at the close leaves the net
loss ! "a. Tobacco was under pressure
on the supposition that the recently in
corporated company is destined to be a
powerful competitor, and on denials of
accessions to the American company of
outside plug tobacco companies.
The stock was at one time off ga,
but closed with a small net gain. In
railroad securities the continued dull
ness and hesitation on foreign ex-
changes was without effect. There was
a large demand for quite an extensive
list Of railroads, the grangers leading
with pretty much all the western and
southwestern roads showing a good
tone.
The eastern trunk line continued to
lag on admittedly bad rate situation in
that territory, which nullifed the bene-
fit of the exceptionally large ~onnages
which is being moved. st. Paul was
the leader in the railroad list, and the
movement of the stock was supposed
to foreshadow good September state
ment due tomorrow. The gross in
crease of that period in earning it is
known is we'll on towards $500, 900, and
it is surmised that the statement will
show reduction in the recent heavy
rates of expenditures for improvements
charged to operating expenses
The September statement of Union
Pacific. while showing a decrease of
over $4,000 in gross earnings, showed
operating expenses so largely reduced
as to leave an increase in surplus earn
ings of SIPS
The delayed movement of cotton now
coming forward and the decrease of
yellow fever foreshadows good earnings
for southern and southwestern roads.
The easier tone today of sterling ex-
change was the direct result of the
calmer feeling in Paris There was a
heavy demand for sterling exchange
here yesterday for Paris account, which
sprang from the same cause as that
which lifted exchange on London in
Paris above the gold export point,
namely, the pressure to transfer funds
from Paris to London.
1t is now known also that violent re-
covery in British consols was partly
due to buying for account of timid Par

and not altogether to the relief Of the

ENGINEER OF MANSFIELD TRAIN.

Is Principally Responsible for
collision at Whittenden Junction.

Boston, Oct. 27.-The railroad com
missioners today handed down a de-
cision on the fatal collision at Whit

Cured Sept. 6.
They find that the engineer of the
first Mansfield train was principally
responsible for the accident in not
following the signals. All persons on

is blamed because he did not obey in
structions to allow the Mansfield train
to go on ahead of the Whittenden

IN GOOD SHAPE.
Much Improvement Shown Yesterday in
Harvards Varsity Practice.


Cambridge, Oct. 27.-Capt Dibblee con-
tinued secret practice in the foot ball cage
on Soldiers field today, and gave his mon
50 minutes straight of hard foot bal!
From Head Coach Forbes it was learned
that the men showed improvement in
nearly every feature of play, and the
varsity scored touchdowns on the second
eleven almost at will. Every one seemed
to stand the strain well, showing that the
physical condition of the team is up TO
what it should be only two days before
meeting the Indians, who moved down
the Yale men so dissstrously. Today
some new plays We're tried, and there
was considerable drill on the signals The
backs are still slower in starting than
their coaches desire, and they do not hit
the interference as hard as they should
This latter feature of team work is not up
to varsity effectiveness, though its form
has been good and fairly effective against
the weaker teams. The line is shaking
itself gradually together though its de-
fensive work is not so sure as to prevent
occasional gains by the second. HALO
wei, Burnett and Kendall were laid off,
but will be in shape for the game of Sat
urday. Tomorrow's practice will be open.
