Washington, Sept. 11.-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin is making up statement show
ing the contributions of the various
states and territories to the volunteer
army. He makes the surprising an
nouncement that Georgia has furnished
more volunteers than any other state in
the country, her quota exceeding that
of Illinois by nearly 200 men. He says
that in general the south has furnished
more men relative to population than
the north.
The District of Columbia has fur
nished the largest percentage of any
state or territory compared with its
population. Among the northern states
Massachusetts leads, in spite Of the
land, while Wisconsin makes an ex-
ceedingly poor showing.
Secretary Root and Adjt. Gen. Cor
bin unite in the emphatic statement
that there is no intention to recall Gen.
Otis from the Philippines to degrade
him or to divide the responsibility in
the islands. They are equally earnest
in the declaration that there is no
thought of sending either Gen. Miles,
Gen. Merritt or Gen. Brooke to the
Philippines. 1t is explained that Presi-
dent Mckinley has the fullest conf
dence in Gen. Otis, both as a military
commander and as a civil administra-
tor.
When Aguinaldo began hostilities by
planning the massacre in Manila and
by firing on the American lines last
February. it was believed that after
two or three crushing defeats the Fill
pinos would throw up their hands and
sue for peace. That was the opinion of
prominent Filipinos in Manila, of Euro
pean residents and of the members of
| the American commission, but it was
| not Gen. Otis fault that Aguinaldo was
misjudged.
| The American commander had an In
| adequate force and short season for
Operations, but the enemy was whipped
in forty engagements and it is main
tanned that Gen. Otis not only con-
Quoted brilliant campaign, but ac-
complished all that could reasonably
be expected of him. AS soon as the
4 rainy season set in and stirring news
became scarce. though, certain yellow
/ journals sought to start a new sensa-
i ton by setting up a howl for the recall
of Gen. Otis.
War entails many sudden changes,
but it is said that President Mckinley
will not make any change in Gen. OTIS
position unless some new emergency
should demand it. Secretary Root has
expressed himself repeatedly along
these lines, but certain papers, seeking
1 to embarrass the administration, per-
sist in their rumors of the removal of
Otis. In answering the query of the
4 correspondent of one of these papers
tSecretary Root displayed his disgust
) land indignation by hurting out:
DO you take me for baby? Do you
4 think / change my mind every ten min
Iutes? will not discuss Gen. Otis with

English people will tell you that In

British more than the American Wis

one to conjure with, and some idea
of what terrible things are expected Of
mosquitoes may be learned from this
simple tale OF the north country: Some

THETA NJ EPSILON
Gaye one of the SWEETEST Dances Ever
Known Here,

The first annual cotillion given by
the Theta M Epsilon Fraternity
has passed into history at the head
Of the large column of evening which
has made Morgantown the social
center of the state. The parlors of
the Wallace House were used as a
reception room while the spacious
dining room was given entirely to
dancing. The decorations surpassed
anything presented for several years.
Everywhere were the colors of the
fraternity visible while the orches
ira was entirely concealed by enor-
nous palms
The music was furnished by Mrs.
Hartigan's orchestra which is the
best ever played here. The dance
started about ten o'clock a most
intricate grand march gracefully ex-
ecuted by Mr.. r. A. Weleh assisted
by Miss Cora Donley being the mi
tial number
when all partook of one of the most
sumptlous fepasts ever served by
Mine Host Lantz who has great
fame as caterer After this dane
ing was resumed until past three
o'clock when was terminated what
was probably one of the most enjoy
able dances given in the history of
the University, The presence of a
number of visitory did much to
add to the occasion Among those
were: Miss West, Keyser; Miss
Pools, the Misses Sweeney, Wash
ington; Miss Clendennin, Wellsburg;
Miss Bussing, Fairmont; Miss
Voight, Mt. Chateau; Messrs Servic,
Mead, Bowman, Nesbit, Carson,
Hanson, Nelson Bumgagdner, Fer

A Millinery Opening.

AS one approached the store of Mrs.
w. H. Russell on Thursday. it became
evident that no effort had been made
to dazzle the public With great or
elaborate show, the window display
simply consisted of a few choice
trimmed hats. Miss Brackets skill
and exquisite taste was seen TO adj
vantage in these. as well as in the
larger display of trimmed hats and
bonnets within. All effort had un-
doubleday been concentrated in pre-
pairing as many beautiful specimens
of the milliners' art as possible for ex-
hihition and in this direction the sue
cess was gratifying. Miss Lottie
Stinchfeld assisted Mrs. Russell IN
waiting upon the many lady callers. II
is understood that Miss Stinchfield vii!

season If one visited this opening and
failed to observe the elegant collection
Of millinery novelties and trimmings
in the show cases they missed seeing
some rich and beautiful specimens.
