Eulistments Well Under Way-Ap.
p0lntments Are Considered.
Washington, Aug. 30.-Secretary Root
and Adjt. Gen. Corbin were In confer
ence three hours yesterday afternoon
considering the applications from Illi-
nois for commissions as officers in the
ten regiments OF volunteers recently or
dered. It was 6 o'clock before they
rested. and Gen. Corbin said the work
was not completed. He expects to have
the Illinois appointments ready for an
nouncement today.
Enlistments for the new regiments
are well under way. Up to last night
2,764 men had been secured. These are
enough to fill two regiments. Many OF
the officers for these regiments will be
sent out soon to open recruiting sta
tons, when the work Of getting troops
will be more rapid.
Many OF the recruits thus far are men
who served recently in the Philippines.
The re-enlistment OF men lately in the
army is particularly gratifying to the
war officials. In Col. Bells regiment.

Troops Entertained NJ Yokohama


Yokohama, Aug. IL, via Victoria, b.
c., Aug. 30.-The United States trans
port Grant has arrived from Manila
with the Dakota, Idaho and Wyoming
troops. They have just come ashore
and are being accorded a great ovation.
They will remain here five days. The
task which the little American commu-
nifty has here is sufficient one to prove
its ardent patriotism. For some forty
or fifty families to feed and entertain
in every possible way an army of 10000
troops is something never before known
in the annals of hospitality. Yet half of
this gigantic task is already accom-
plished and the devoted hosts are full
of pluck and energy to pursue it to the
end. They feel amply repaid by the
unbounded gratitude of the soldiers and
even the Japanese have been taught a
new lesson in patriotism.

LEATHER TAKES A RISE.

This was another day of great stock
market dulness, but Wall streets mar
ket was relieved from lack of interest
by several features, prominent among
which was good London buying. There
was fair volume of general buying
and some short covering.
The stock exchange will adjourn over
Saturday out of respect to the memory
Of the late vice president, the funeral
services being held that day. Some of
the traders hardly like to be short of
the market over two days, from Fri

the usual hour Saturday.

PocKETRook FOUND.

A Remembrance of Former City Treas
urer Barton Picked Up in Rutland.
The pocketbook which was carried by
the late w. S. Barton, former city
treasurer, when he left his home last
July, and of which no trace could be
found when Mr.. Bartons body was
discovered on the Dudley farm in Rut-
land, has been returned to the family.
1t was found a few days ago under
some bushes on the Dudley farm, near
the spot where Mr.. Barton's body was
discovered. Mr.. Barton's family was
notified, and Wednesday the pocket
book and contents were returned to
Mrs. Barton by member of the Dud-
ley family. It is a singular coincidence
that the pocketbook was received on
the 10Th anniversary of Mr.. Barton's
marriage.
The contents of the pocketbook were
intact and showed that Mr. Barton
expended no money in his wanderings
from the city When he left home he
had a check for $40, which he cashed.
and paid a bill amounting to 49, The
pocketbook contained 81 in bills and
some loose change, besides a few pa
pers of a private nature.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE

New York, Nov. 28.-The stock mar
ket as whole continued dull and ne
elected today, and professional oper-
ators worked their will with the few
stocks in which there was trading. A
singular feature of the very narrow
market was the number of extremely
low priced stocks usually designated as
cats and dogs, which were taken up
and moved widely.
Some of those stocks do not appear
in the record for months, and usually
only on the elimination of a furious
bull speculation which picks them for
an advance after every other available
stock has been exhausted. Some of
the stocks which rose yesterday re-
acted today, while other stocks were
moved to higher level to correspond.
There were some points of weakness,
notably in the anthracite group on ac-
count of the discussion Of new line to
be work independently, but the general
undertone of the market was firm in
expectation Of a good bank statement
on Saturday. AS the exchange will be
closed on Saturday, traders ara seek
ing to discount the expected good
statement.

did not reflect any. increased lending

set is called for by any one applicant.
they may, if he so desires. be furnished
ip strips of 10 or less of any denomina.
tbn or in blocks of four or more; but
under no circumstances will broken
sets be sold to any person.
The government allows the first class
post offices to dispose of these to any
persons who apply for them by mail;
but in any such case the purchaser is
required to send the money with his or

plete that it is. impossible to supply
Finally. these sales will continue up
to the S1st Of December. after which all
stamps. If any be left. are to be de-
stroyed in Washington. las we have
pointed out in a former. edition. the
comparatively small number of stamps
will make these within a short time
sold at far greater premium per set
than the government now requires for
them, which Is IS set Should the
present stock in the Augusta post office
be sold and more required, an effort
will be made to obtain a few more
sets by transfer from other Offices; but
collectors should remember that the
number Of sets is comparatively limit
