A Rush for Commissions.

According to report, Adiutant General Corbin
was opposed to the decision of the Administration
TO raise volunteers for service in the Philippines
and, if his personal comfort taken into con-
sideration by the general in advising the Presi-
dent on the subject, 1t is not strange that he
should have objected to the formation of volunteer
regiments. The statements in the newspapers
that volunteers would be raised have brought an
immense amount of extra work and worry to the
Adjutant General. When he started to enter the
breakfast of his hotel early yesterday morrs
ing he found waiting for him about twenty men,
each armed with application for a commits
sion. There very little time left for break
fast when General Corbin got through with the
would-be officers and he hurried to the War De-
partment only to find that two score or more
applicants already hand. All through
the day the applicants for commissions filed into
the Adjutant Generals office. 1t is estimated that
more than a hundred applicants for commissions

SCHOOL BIDS REJECTED.
Congress Will BE Asked to Appropri-
ME Moro Money

ute more money.
All the bids received by the District
Commissioners for the erection of the
three public school houses authorized by
the District Appropriation act of June 30,
1885, will be rejected, and the balance of
the appropriations allowed to lapse today,
SO that they may present the matter TO
Congress at the next session and endeavor
to secure a special emergency appropria-
tion with which to build them. The bids
were far in excess of the amount appropri-
ated. Ii was a year ago today that Con-
gress authorized the construction of the
schools and twelve months. have elapsed
without any progress being made with the
exception Of the preparation o. plans and
the purchase of sites for two of the pro-
posed structures.
The action of the Commissioners, besides
winding up the school question for the
time being, concludes one of the most diff
ficult problems which the municipal au
thorities have been required 10 handle for
some time. The three buildir ) were au-
thorized by the District Apprc ,Jriation act
of June 30, of last year. Thirty thousand
dollars was appropriated for rebuilding
the old Loyejoy school building at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Streets northeast.
a new school, of eight rooms, was author
lied for Northeast Washington, and s37.-
500 was appropriated for its erection. OF
this amount the Commissioners expended
enough money to purchase a site on Fiji
teenth Street, between Gales and Rosedale
Streets northeast, and the balance was to
de devoted 10 the building. The third build
ing authorized by the appropriation act
was 10 be of eight rooms and located in
Southeast Washington. The Commission
ers purchased site for this building on
the corner of South Carolina Avenue and
Second Street
Congress will be asked to make a special
appropriation and as soon as the money is
secured new bids will be opened on the
complete plans and work may be begun on

LEFT HER PURSE AT HOME.
A Man in Searching for 1t Finds tn.
House in Flames.

When Mrs. Frederick C. Hunt, of 1861 r
Street northwest left the city Wednesday
she left her pocketbook containing $3.50 on
a bed at her home. The house had been
securely locked, but Mrs. Hunt fearing that
the money might disappear during her alb
sence telegraphed her real estate agent
in this city to go TO the house and procure
for her the pocketbook. The agent, on re-
ceipt OF the telegram, went to the house
and found the Fire Department in opera
ton there extinguishing a fire which did
damage TO the extent OF $4,000. The con-
tents of the house were almost destroyed
and particularly in the room indicated by
Mrs. Hunt as the one where she had left
her pocketbook. The agent made search
for the money, but did not find it. He
then reported the matter to the detec-
tive office and Inspector Boardman detailed
Detectives Boyd and Helan to make a fur
ther search. They, too, were unsuccess-
full
The origin of the fire at the Hunt home
is not known. 1t was discovered at 4:45
o'clock by Policeman Highe, who turned
in an alarm from box 256. When the Fire
Department responded the first floor of the
house was ablaze and the upper floors
were filed with smoke.
