WASHINGTON, May 29.-Representative
Hemenway has returned to washington
after two weeks spent in his olstrlct' he
reports very favorable political conditions
existing throughout southwestern Indiana,
and says that in his judgment the prospects
of Republican success next fall are most
excellent The farmers wherever he went
were in an exceedingly happy state OF mind.
The crop outlook is magnificent and pros
perity is the general rule. Farm land mas
practically doubled in value since the panic
of 1895, and unless misfortunes which can
not now be foreSeen should occur the agrl-
cultural communities of the West will have
more money next winter than ever before
in their history.

Efforts are being made to have the Gov
ernor change his plans with reference to
the formation of a regiment with ". M.
Backus at its head. The opposition comes
mainly from other parts of the State. 1t
is being asserted that Indianapolis has al
ready furnished most of the officers, or
large number of them, and that other dis
tricts should be honored in the formation
Of the next regimental staff. Objections
other than geographical considerations are
being raised to Mr.. Backus. His opponents
say that while he may have been and
doubtless was a brave soldier there is
doubt of his capabilities to head a regiment.
Governor Mounts attitude toward Mr..
Mr.. Backus is said to be largely sentimental
and 1t Is asserted his sole reason for agree
ing to appoint Mr.. Backus colonel of a regi-
ment was the fact that they were associated
together in the civil war.

How They May BE Recruited.

How the regiments already at Camp
Thomas are to be recruited is not yet
known. Governor Mount supposes that when
official notification of the Presidents proc
lamation is received information will be
given on this score. He is inclined to think
officers will be sent back from the regiments
to the districts in which they were original
organized to recruit men to bring the nu
merical strength of each company up to the
reorganization law requirements, which
gives the President discretionary power to
increase each company to 100 enlisted men
and officers, including a captain and two
neutenants. The Governor thinks it would
be easier and cheaper for the recruiting to
be done this way than for the State 10
undertake to mobilize the 1,424 men that
are needed for this purpose here. Each man
will have to be recruited as an individual.
Army officers stationed here say that the
States quota will doubtless be increased
enough at least to furnish one regiment in
addition to the men that are wanted for
recruits,

Business men of Indianapolis are feeling
more or less the i'll effects of an interna-
tional war in conjunction with those of
other larger cities of the country There
have been material advances in flour, cere-
aline products, fresh meats, leather, canned
goods and many other articles which come
into daily consumption as necessities The
druggists seem to have been the most af-
fected by the war excitement, although it
is thought that some of the advances were
uncalled for and merely speculative. While
the drug trade was largely affected in diff
ferent branches two weeks ago, prices have
simmered down considerably recently, with
the exception of saltpeter, birthstone and
cent, higher than it should have been. To-
day 1T is about 125 per cent. too high. Near

A member Of the firm Of Murphy. Hibben

of grain bags. This firm sells many thou
sands of bags each season, and it has been
difficult to secure their usual stock of that
line Of goods. The price of grain bags has
stated they will advance another 10 per
cent before harvest. Mr.. Weisenberg, when
asked the cause for such an advance and
scarcity said it was echo of the flood
of the last few months. AT points where
levees were likely to be washed out and
where railroad entertainments have been
washed out hundreds of thousands of bags
were used. filled with sand, and thus clos
