Washington, July 19.-The war de-
partment is Offering extra inducements
to expedite the recruitment of the ten
volunteer regiments. Nearly all the
commissions having been issued. most
of the disappointed applicants have
been advised to enter the ranks as in
that way it may be possible for them
to secure commissions. General Cor
bin says that the policy of the admin
istration will be to fill all vacancies
which may occur among commissioned
officers from the ranks.
A number of applicants for commits
sions have enlisted as privates in the
different regiments and have been ap-
pointed non-commissioned officers,
whenever possible and consequently
are next in line of promotion to COM
missioned rank in the event of a va
cancy. n
Another method of securing recruits
is to offer commissions to men other

FOR PRESENT SUMMER ONLY
PRIVILEGE OF GRAZING SHEEP
ON UINTAH RESERVATION.
Victory of the Utah Representatives
Said to Be But Temporary-De-
partment VIII Further Consider.
6snecial to The Heraid.l

Washington, D. c., July 19.-Although
the Utah sheep-raisers' delegation has
won its request for temporary restitu-
ton of Uintah grazing privileges Tor
this summer it is not likely that it will
be permitted IN the future.
The argument that seems to nave
prevailed with the land office was that
the order was very unjust to the sheep
owners for the present season. II IS
stated at the land office that the ques-
ton is not permanently settled, out
will be considered further by the ue-
nartnent this fall. There is no doubt
that the recommendation of forest re-
serve agents will again be adverse to
the practice, and that the report VIII
be made emphatic with arguments
based on this summers experience.

OVER CHICAGO AFFAIRS

NOR ALTGELD.
He Holds Proxy and 1t Is Said
That Committeeman Gahan Will
Protest Against Allowing Him to
Participate-Forecast of the Work
to Be Done.

Chicago, July 19.-Acting Chairman VIII
liam G. Stone of Missouri will call to or
der the Democratic national committee at
man. William ]. Bryan will probably sit
as a committeeman, arrangements having
been made TO furnish him with proxy.
john p Altgeld holds the proxy of VIII
liam White of Washington. His presence
may cause trouble, as it is believed John
Gahan, committeeman of Illinois. may
question Mr.. Altgeld's right to represent
a Democratic committeeman. Apparently
Mr. Altgeld is DESTROYS of avoiding trou-
BILE He said today that he did not care
to sit in the committee II any of the mem
bers resented 1t, and afterwards he tele-
graphed Mr.. White. suggesting that some
other proxy be represented.
IF 1 do not hear from Mr.. White. said
the ex-governor tonight. "or If he insists
that 1 represent him. shall do so. But 1
have no desire to bring local affairs into
the committee.
This discord between the Harrison and
Altgeld factions of the local Democratic
party was the salient feature of today s
talk around the hotels. If Acting Chair
man Stones wishes are carried out, and
apparently most of the committeeman are
with him, the factional differences local
to Chicago and New York will not be
brought before the committee in any
form.
1t is probable that a new rule will be
adopted tomorrow providing that when
ever a vacancy occure in the national. the
state committee shall elect a member OF
the national committee TO NIL such va
cancy Another rule which is under con-
the right to judge of qualifications of its
own members

Directed at Altgeld.

Still another rule is being talked of
which would force Ex-Governor Altgeld
out of his position as a member of the
auxiliary committee. which was orig
inally composed of Mr.. Altgeld, Senator
Jones. Senator Teller. Senator Allen and
William X. Stone. This rule will provide
that all committees, auxiliary and other
wise. of the national committee shall be
made up of the big committee.
1t is intimated that the designations of
Senators Teller and Allen and ex-Gover-
nor Stone as members of the auxiliary"
or ways and means committee will be
handed in tomorrow. Senator Jones alb
sence in Europe will leave Mr.. Altgeld the
sole remaining member of this committee,
and an attempt may be made to force him
out, and rorganiZe the committee with
only Democrats as members, leaving out
the PopulistS and silver Republicans.
Among the prominent Democrats here
today are George Fred Williams of Mas
sachusetts. Oliver II. P. Belmont of New
York. Senator Francis NJ. Cockrell of
Missouri, Colonel Victor Baughman of
Maryland, proxy for Arthur p. German;
Clark Howell OF Georgia: William Goebel
Democratic candidate for governor Of
Kentucky; William r. Burke, proxy for
Committeeman Dwyer of California, and
John F. Shafroth of Colorado.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Laramie, Wyo., Jan. 22.-"Tankee Ted"
who has been known as the cowboy
dude" in the sweetwater country by rea-
son of his partially for neckties of vari-
Gus kinds and hues, is credited with an
escape from the county jail of SWeetwater
in a remarkable and curious manner.
Ted's method of diversion when he came
TO Laramie after the round-ups was in
the purchase of neckwear and he has
been known to depart for the range coun-
try from 200 to 300 neckties richer on var1-
Gus occasions. Recently the cowboy was
arrested for Incorporating cattle and
lodged in the Sweetwater jail until the
erand jury should meet in default of bail.
He made but one request, and that was
that his necktfes be allowed to keep him
company and they were brought in from
his range headquarters by some compan-
ions 1t Is calculated that the boxes thus
taken into the cell contained some 800
ties the style ranging from the latest

to find a rope of gaudily colored four-in>
hands dangling from the window of the
cowboy dudes cell. Investigation showed
that he mad forced two of the bars at
the window, woven a strong rope from his
multitude of ties and gained his liberty.
The only wonder expressed in the Sweet
water country is that the fastidous cow
boy allowed the necktie rope to remain af-
ter he had made his escape.
