APPLICATION FOR COMMISSIONS.
Rules for Preference Adopted at the
War Department.

Great pressure is being brought TO bear
upon tie President for commissions i'm the
volunteer army, and thousands Of appllca-
TONS for commissions have been filed al the
War Department. The selection of officers
for the nine regiments to be organized is
row under consideration by the President
and his advisers, and IL is impossible at
this time to predict the result. II is said
at the War Department that in making
these appointments preference win be given
in the following order:
First. To officers of the volunteer army
who distinguished themselves in action dur
ing the Spanish war and in the Philippine
insurrection.
Second. Officers of the regular army who
have shown marked efficiency in action
in the recent war and have not yet receiv-
ed promotion
Third. Volunteers in the Spanish war who
showed unusual proficiency in organization
and discipline. but who through no fault
of their own did not get to the front
Inasmuch there is a shortage of off,
GERS on duty in the regular establishment
ON account OF illness and other causes, Il
is not likely that very many regular off,
GERS will be transferred to the volunteer
regiments. The President will have the an
pointment of forty-seven officers to each
regiment, as follows: One colonel one leu
tenant colonel, three majors. fourteen cam
tains, twelve first lieutenants, twelve Sec
ond ieutenants, three medical officers and
one chaplain, making 423 officers for thS
nine regiments.

Report That the Vessel Would Go at
Once to Newport UnfOunded.

Considerable cor sternation was caused on
the Brooklyn by the circulation of a report
that orders had been issuod for the vessel
to sail from Brooklyn on the % proximo
for Newport. to join Admiral Sampson's
squadron. The execution of such orders
would have prevented the carrying out of
the program which had been arranged for
the celebration of the anniversary of the
battle which practically ended the Spanish
war. Vigorous protests We're made to the
Navy Department against the departure of
the vessel until after the celebration. The
proteStants We're informed that there was
no foundation for the report that the YES
sci was to leave New York July ID and 1t
was stated that the Brooklyn would be al
lowed to remain there until after the pro-
posed celebration. Therefore, there will be
prearranged program. The crew will be
given picnic at Glen Dale Park, where all
sorts of amusements will be provided for
their entertainment. They will leave the
cruiser about O'Clock Monday morning, in
body, headed by the navy yard band and
will march to the trolley cars in the neigh
borhood aud be conveyed to the park, where
they will be supplied with an abundance of
refreshments of all kinds. Appropriate eX-
ercises will be held, in which number of
distinguished officials will participate, in
Guiding Rear Admiral Schley, who will un-
doubte1ly be made the hero of the occa-
sion. In addition, the officers of the Brook
lyn will celebrate the Santiago victory by
dinrer on board the cruiser, at which
Rear Admiral Schey has promised to be
present.

NEGOTIATIONS NEARING A CRISIS.
Little Prospect of Agreement an
Alaskan MGdus Niyendi.

Negotiations in London looking to the ar
rangement of a mOdus vivendi fixing the
Alaskan boundary have again nearly reach
ed a crisis. The several conferences that
have taken place recently between Lord
Salisbury and Ambassador Choate have
been sgnally disappointing in results. At
moments it appeared that a basis of un-
derstaNding having, as it was thought,
been reached, the details could be easily
arranged, but it now turns out that these
very details cannot be agreed upon without
the sacrifice of the interests of many Amer
lean miners, mainly those who Were driven
out of the Atlin district by the severe and
discriminating laws enacted by the legis-
ldture of British Columbia, and this the
State Department is determined not to
sanction. The United States ambassador
has come to the end of the concessions he
is authorized to offer, and therefore the
prospect of a successful outcome of the
negotiations is rather discouraging.
Meanwhile nothing is said either side
of a reconvening of the high joint COM
mission at Quebec, although the date set
for the meeting at the last adjournment is
rapidly approaching.
