GROJNDLEsS CONJECTURE.
The Report That Canadian Police Are
to he Sent Into Disputed Territory.

The report that Canadian mounted police
are to be sent into the Porcupine country,
which is now claimed by both the United
States and Canada, is dismissed at the
British embassy as groundless conjecture,
and it is said no intimation of such a move
has been received.
The State Department attaches no credit
to the story. 1t is pointed out that our gov
ernment withheld a garrison from Pyramid
harbor in that section at the simple sug-
gestion from the British authorities that 1t
would tend to prevent trouble if armed
forces were kept out of the territory. To
dispatch such a force into the Porcupine
country now, therefore, might easily be re-
garded as an act of bad faith, of which the
British government could not for q moment
be regarded as guilty. 1t is true that some
police may have gone in to apprehend some
malefactor or to maintain order, but it is
not conceivable to the authorities that a
permanent force is to be maintained in the
POrcupine district.

MADE A NUNCUPATIVE WILL
A Rare Experience in the Work of
the Court of Ordinary.

the Court of Ordinary.
4 nuncupative will. the first i'm many
years, was filed for probate in the Court
of Ordinary yesterday. 1t is that of Bird
get Anderson, or Culcane as she was some
times called, and bequeaths all of her prop
erty. amounting TO some 1880 or s., 600 in
money, to her niece, Dora Smith.
A nuneupative wiki is one made by the
testator by word of mouth, in the presence
of witnesses and in the last illness. The
law requires that certain formalities shall
attend its executions which, it is contend
ed, We're present in the case now in the
courts 1t Is allowed only under certain
conditions and contingencies and is so rare,
in this part of the world, al least, that
Judge FerriA reeoliects only one other in
the long course of his experience on the
bench. This was years ago
The testator was the Old woman who
lived almost alone in a house in the east
ern portion of the city, and whose death
was brought on by the fright and alarm
caused by the attempt of a negro to enter
the room in which she was sleeping, with
the evident intention of robbing her of the
wealth she was credited with possessing
and supposed commonly to keep some
where about the premises She was quite
old and the nervous fright proved too much
for her. She died day or two after the
attempt at crime was made, but during
this interval the nuncupative will was
made The woud-be burglar was never ap-
pretended.
The will recites that 1t was made in the
presence OF Dora Smith, the Iegatee, Car
RE Lee aud G. w. Barbee, 60 whom the
testatrix expressed her wish and desire
that ALI of her property should descend at
her death 10 her niece, Dora Smith. AS the
moving cause for this preference she as
cribed the fact that her niece had been
most kind and attentive to her in life ana
that in death she desired to show her
gratitude. the will was reduced TO writ
ing within ten days of the time of its exc
cution.
The legatee recites that she wishes to
have the win probated in solemn form
and desires citation issued TO The other
next of kin to the deceased, Agnes Crotty
who is also a niece. The citation viii he
issued and the case determined at the No
vember term of the Court Of Ordinary.
Sufficient time will not elapse between now
and the October term to permit the service.

WANT COLORED VOLUNTEERS
For the Regiments That Arc Almost
Exclusively of NEGROES.

Lieut.. G. B. Pritchard, Jr., recruiting Of
ficer at Savannah, had one of his regi-
monts taken off his list yesterday by d
telegram from headquarters at Washing
ton while two others were added. The
Eleventh Cavalry, volunteers. has been
fife up, and no more recruits are TO be
received for it. The Forty-eighth and For
ty-ninth however. infantry regiments of
volunteers. are being organized, and de-
sirable coiored applicants can get in.
The Forty-eignth and the Forty-ninth
are the regiments that are to be made up
almost exclusively of negroes, having ne
gro officers of the line and staff, only the
majors, the lieutenant colonel and the
colonel being white. The Forty-eighth will
be organized al Fort Thomas and the For
ty-ninth at jefferson barracks.
Following is the telegram received by
Lieut.. Pritchard:
Make no more enlistments for the Elev-
enth Cavalry, volunteers Notify any Of
ficers recruiting therefor under your su-
pervision. Authorize them to make enlist
ments of desirable colored applicants for
the Forty-eight and Forty-ninth Infantry,
volunteers and send them to their respec-
tive regbmental rendezvous, as applicants
elect Send colored recruits having no
choice TO nearer of these regiments. The
rendezvous for the Forty-eighth is at
Fort Thames, Ky; for the Forty-ninth,
jefferson Barracks, Mo. Special care must
he taken 10 accept none but frst-class
men, preferably those who have had prior
service In regulars, volunteers or the ma
tional guard"
Lieut.. Pritchard desires all those who
may apply for enlistment in these regi-
ments TO come armed with recommended
tions of sobrety and good character. They
viii be necessary. as the government wants
to make up the commands of the best
colored men that are TO be had. Recon-
mendations at the outset will save both
the recruiting officer and the applications
a good deal of trouble.
The striking of the Eleventh Cavalry
and the addition of the two other regi-
ments leaves the following on Lieut.
Pritchard's list for which he will receive
recruits: The Thirty-eighth, Forty-First
Forty-second. Forty-third, Forty-fourth,
Forty-ffth, Forty-sixth and the Forty-sev-
enth, while; aud the F'orty-eghth and
