| TIE PRESIDENT DELUGED.
Swarms of Applications for Com
missioners in the New Vol
unteer Regiments.
ALL ARE FILED WITH ADJT.- ser. cORBIa
Efficiency In the Service During the
War With Spain Will Determine
the Selection Rather Than PoIiti-
cal PuII-The Order of Preference
to be Observed.

Washington, July 1.-Since the an
bouncement that about 10000 voiun-
teers were to be mustered into the
army for service in the Philippines.
the president has been deluged with
applications for commissions. Almost
every congressional caller has one or
more applicants whom he presses on
the presidents attention.
Applications Paced on File.
The president requests all his visi-
tors to file their applications with
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, at the same time he
makes it clear, in a general way, that
the policy of the administration i'll
granting commissions will be to give
preference to volunteer officers who
showed ability and who performed
valuable service during the Spanish
war. Some regular officers are also to
be given volunteer commissions. in the
belief that one or two regular officers
il. regiment will be of great advan-
tage. The number of officers to be
commissioned is being carefully guard
ed TO prevent scramble.
The Officers to be Chosen.
Gen. Otis has selected officers fo1
the regiments to be organized under
his supervision, and the war depart
ment officials are going over the eff
ficiency reports of officers who served
during the Spanish war for the pur-
pose of securing leaders for the regi-
ments to be organized at home. The
president will have the appointment
of 40 officers; namely: One colonel.
one lieutenant-colonel, three majors.
IA captains, II first ieutenants, IL sec
ord lieutenants, three medical officers
and one chaplain for each regiment.
No general officers will be appointed
for the reason that there will be q
dier-generals after the old volunteer
officers are mustered out.
The Order of Selection.
II making selections of new officers
the preference will be as follows:
First-Officers of the volunteers who
distinguished themselves in action dur
ing the Spanish war.
Second Officers of theNregular arm,
who have earned, but have not yet re-
ceived promotion for conspicuous serv-
ice at the front during the Spanish
war.
Third-Nolunteers of the Spanish
war who did not get to the front, but
whose efficiency reports while in
camp show them to be competent to
command troops.
Only very small percentage of of
fcers of the regular army, it is stated
will be appointed, for the reason that
there is already a shortage of officers
in the regular establishment on ac-
count of illness.

,sLeprosy.

According to the biennial report 81
the state board of health just issued,
there is but little danger of the spread
Of leprosy in Minnesota. There are at
present only thirteen lepers IN the
state, and the total number Of cases
recorded is fifty one. Only nine of this
tifty-one were females. Thirty four
cases, have been reported since 1890,
and twenty-one of these are known to
have been married. 1t is a peculiar
fact that seventy EIGHT children have
been born to these persons, most Of
them after one Of the parents was rec.
ognized as being a leper; and that not
one of them has been3 affected by the
disease. For some reason the disease
does not spread in this state Z
The records show that most. but not
all, Of the lepers in the state came
from Norway and the report suggests
that it is unsafe to quarantine against
the disease by watching immigrants.
1t recommends an investigation of the
family history of all persons coming
from parts of the world where the dis
ease is known to be prevalent, before
the immigrant is allowed to enter the
country. The report adds that it is
quite possible for leprosy to die out in
this state if no more afflicted persons
are allowed to enter. " b

Has Money But Ia Destitute.

: Mrs. Lena Gembe, a.<St. Paul widow
with three small children, though
heiress to asthird interest in a $40, coo
estate left by her husband. Francis M.
Gembe, who died in 1898, is in desti-
tute circumstances. Agent Moak of
the Humane Society and neighbor of
the destitute woman, urged the courts
to do something to aid her in recover
ing what is due her from the estate,
claiming that a previous order of the
court directing the administrator Of
the estate, Francis c. Gembe, stepson
of the woman, to pay her $35 month
from the: income of the estate had not
been obeyed, and that the woman and
her family had been compelled to live
on $3.50 per week earned by one of the
children, she herself being crippled
and unable to get about except with
great pain. Mr.. Gembe, the admins
traitor, is travelling man and is absent
from the city. 1t is said an attempt
will be made to have the probate court
disallow his account as administrator,
and, if possible, remove him from that
position.
