WASHINGTON, June 30.-Since the
announcement that about 10000 volun-
teers were to be mustered into the
army for service in the Philippines the
President has been deluged with ap-
plications for commissions. Almost
every Congressman and caller has one or
more applicants whom he presses upon
the Presidents attention. The Presi-
dent requests all his visitors 10 file
their applications with Adjt. General
Corbin. At the same time he makes it
clear in general way that the policy
of the Administration in granting COM
missions 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 in a regiment will
be Of great advantage. The number
of officers to be commissioned is being
carefully guarded to prevent a scram-

Seven Times in Fifteen Yaers.

A Mexican woman, the Sonora Ray
Castillo, certainly holds the palm for
supremacy in the number of her real,
genuine widowhoods. She has worn
the weeds seven times between 1880
and 1895. So widely different have
been the causes Of death by which her
seven spouscs quilted this wicked world,
yet so similar III the violence thereof,
it wonld almost seem that the fair
sonora was somewhat Of "hoodoo"
to the genus husband. Her first hus-
band fell out of q carriage, her second
took poison by accident, the third
perished by mining accident, the
fourth shot himself, the fifth was killed
while hunting, the sixth met his death
by dropping from a scatfolding, and
the seventh was drowned. AS the
sonora lives in Mexico she has not
gained the fame and notoriety which
would otherwise have been hers from
her varied matrimonial ventures were
she a resident Of some progressive

WILLIAM A. CLARK.
Elected senator from Montana After
Prolonged and bitter Fight
with His Enemies.

Mr.. Clark will be one of the richest
men in the senate, if not the leader in
this regard. His wealth, figured in
dollars, is variously estimated as having
seven ciphers al the end, the only ques-
ton being about the numeral that
should precede them. Chance was a
prominent factor in starting him on
his path to enormous fortune, but it
was backed by quick grasping of OPP
portunities and fostered by shrewd busi-
ness Judgment In less than 40 years
he has risen from the humble lot of a
village schoolteacher to that of a bonan-
"a millionaire, the largest individual
owner of copper mines and smelters in
The world, and member OF the highest
legislative body in the land.
Born on his father's farm, near Con-
nellsville, Pa, in 1889, he received q
common school education and took a
course of civil engineering in neigh
boring academy. Stricken with the
gold fever. he left for the west in 1860,
but fell sick with malaria at George
town, Mo. There it was that he met
and wooed his future wife, and there

also he served one term as village school
master. In the spring of 1861 he went
to Colorado and accumulated $4,000 in
various pursuits. With this he bought
provisions and came to Montana. Lo-
eating in the great placer bonanzas in
Madison county, he became trader on
an extensive scale, and soon amassed
moderate fortune. With large por-
ton of this he bought what was sup
posed to be gold and silver mine at
Butte, but it failed to develop, and until
an experienced miner told him it was
Is per cent. copper, he thought he
had been swind!ed. To-day the mine
is valued at $1O,oOO,ooO and nearly as
much in copper has been taken fromit
Since then fortune has continued to
smile upon him in dazzling profusion.
Ever since Montana was admitted to
statehood his ambition has been to be-
come senator. He was one of the first
two democratic nominees, but was de-
feated by the republicans. In all his
contests since then. although the ac-
kuowledged democratic "boss" of the
state, he has had to overcome the i'm
placable hatred of Marcus Daily, they
having had bitter quarrel nearly a
decade ago.

gle for life between one man and huge
5devilfish, with the odds. of course,
against the man.
Capt. Conrad, the local diver of New
Orleans, has recently returned to that
city from voyage to Central American
waters and while in the tropical seas
became hero.
During. the month of August the
fruit ship Oteri went ashore on the
coast of Russian. Other divers had tried
to float her. but had failed, and finally
Capt. Conrad was engaged, and started
for the treacherous coast. The ship
had gone ashore head on, the stern
was in deep water and coral reef
showed itself just aft of midship.
There was q great hole in her just
where she was fast aground. The keel
was broken in three places and the
ship was altogether in very bad shape,
but the diver went to work on her with
the hope of accomplishing what offers
had failed to do.
Slowly he went down. forgetting the
brilliant scene above the water now.
and wholly intent upon his work that
was waiting him. He approached the
ship and was getting down under the
bilge near where the work must be
done, when across his face glass there
swept long, dark, slippery arm Capt.
Conrad had been in tropical waters be-
fore, and knew the sign. He had met
real octopus, sometimes called the
devilfish. The attack was so sudden
that the diver for moment lost his
courage and gave the danger signal.
He was quickly drawn up to the boat.
1t was a serious situation. The ship
was leaking badly. and must not re-
main over night without attention.
The work had to be done at once, and
there was no one else there to do it.
1t only remained for him to go down
and fight the devilfsh. To which would
belong the victory there was no posi-

There was big harpoon on the boat,

and at its close he opened small re-
tail store at Bellaire, O., and later be-
came interested in thesglass industry.
This was the origin of his wealth, and
he became at last the president of the
Central Glass company of Wheeling. OF
late Mr.. Scott has given up his time
to the care of his mining interests in
the west and to politics. He has been
state senator, and for IL years has
been member of the republican ma
tional committee. President Mckinley
appointed him internal revenue COM
missioner in recognition Of the good
work he had done for the party. Mr..
Scott's income Is estimated at about
$4,000 month.
