CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON.
Aug 3-Six of the ten new volunteer
regiments are recruited to nearly their
full complement. Returns received at
the War Department up to last night
show total force of 90S2, leaving less
than 5000 men yet to be enlisted.
This is the way each regiment stands
up to last returns: Twenty-sixth In

TWenty-Seventh infantry, camp

Thirty-third, Fort Sam Houston 405;
Thirty-fourth, Fort Logan COL; Thirty
fifth. Vancouver Barracks, 167; For
regiments recruiting in the Philippines,
253.
There has been slight falling off in
the number of recruits during the past
few days and in order to make sure
that all the regiments are filled within
the allotted time, additional recruiting
officers are being sent to the rural dis
tricts to hurry work along, especially
lOI tiIOSe ISSlIHeIllS WHICH are SlOWly
filing up. Three of the regiments
which are now practically full will be
ordered to San Francisco from their
present stations about August 90. The
transports Grant, Sherman and Sheri-
dan, which are now en- route from the
Philippines, are expected to be available
for these troops during the first week in
September. Arrangements are being
perfected to have other transports
ready for the rest of the volunteers
within ten days thereafter. When the
full number of men have been secured
to complete the organization of the ten
new regiments being enlisted in the
United States and the three General
Otis is recruiting in the Philippines the
army of the United States will COM
prise about SO, 900 men.
The President will then have an op-
portunity to appoint an additional brig
adler general. At the present time he
has the names of Colonel Sanger Of the
Inspector Generals Department and
Colonel Williston Of the Third Artil-
lerv. who is now in the Philippines, un-
der consideration for the place. He
will not make a decision, however, for
some time, as it is thought not unlikely
that something may develop in the
Philippines to bring one of the officers
there to the front in a way which will
entitle him to recognition at the hands
of the President.

MAZET BOARD EXAMINES
COMMISSIONER LANTRY
No Sensational Evidence Was Elic-
tied, but Some Interesting In
formation Was Obtained.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.--The morning ses-
sion of the Mazet committee was largely
given over to the examination of Francis
s. Lantry commissioner of correction, as
to the methods adopted by the now ia
nous architectural firm of Horgan & Slat-
terry in their dealings with the Depart
ment of Correction.
Nothing sensational was elected, though
the interesting fact was brought out that
one of the witness objections to the en-
ployment of Withers and Dickson, the
architects. was that United States Sena-
tor Hanna had written letters recon-
mending an Ohio iron company which
they represented. During the afternoon
a number of members of the Municipal
Council appeared before the committee
and explained their views on the ques-
tions relating to the double municipal as
sembly. There was a wide difference Of
opinion among them as to the value Of the
second house.

will cost from 100000 to 5000. 900
marks According to the plan of the
architect, Herr Geheimrath lime. the
front facing the Spree will be 200 yards
in length. The Emperor requires,
among other things. two riding
grounds several Coachhouses for about
900 carriages. and stalls for 270 horses.
Several workyards and farmyards are
also needed. as Wen as dwellings for 50
families and so unmarried servants and
coachmen. The chief facade opposite
the Schloss required reconstruction on
a large scale, and this was rendered
very difficult by the different character
Of the rooms looking on to the Schloss-
platz, some Of which are quite insig-
nificant. The architect has. however,
been fortunate in his design. having
arranged the chief room of the upper
floor Ghe large carriage-room. with its
costly historical and modern sleighs
and coaches) as a State room, and
thereby giving it the appearance from
the outside of a museum.
Passing under the lofty doorway. one
enters the front court which is COW
cred in by a glass roof, which in sum
mcr is removed to prevent excessive
heat. Southwark extends a broad
wing. with coach houses and dwellings
in the upper portion. Eastward one
sees the stables. built in two stories,
one over the other, each calculated to
hold 1871 horses. Lifts. saddle-rooms,
flights of stairs, cleaning-rooms and
servants rooms are provided there, or
are to he found in the intermediate
story. The great carriage hall in the
SchlossplatZ is an enormous room,
stretching over two stories, and pro-
vided above with a long gallery. The
walls are connected by double rows of
columns, and are decorated with ten
drill and shell work. The ceiling is
more richly treated, and it's strong,
plastic decoration is in harmony with
the great height. Behind the above
mentioned cross building all the work
is in progress as was ascertained by a
visit lately paid by the Architect Club,
which afforded an idea of the extent of
the grounds.
On the Spree about half of the facade
fronting the water is finished, but the
wings stretch still further southwark,
SO that they will eventually pass far
beyond the front Of the Schloss. In
the second court will be two riding
grounds Of exactly the same size, stu
ate over an enormous Carriage-hOuse,
separated by double walls. The works
upon the new building, for which
pieces of ground were lately acquired
south of the older grounds, will require
about three years more to complete.

PRAYERS

GENERAL WHEELER At HIS
PRAYERS
General Wheeler is a religious man
lie was brought up in the Episcopal
church, says the Washington cores
pendent of the Chicago Record, with
great reverence for sacred things and
faith in the efficacy of prayer. one of
his former secretaries tells the story
that while the general was engaged in
a canvass for Congress some years ago
he spent the night at the plantation Of
a constituent. His host accompanied
him to his room at bed time, and babe
him goodnight, but, being reminded
that the general might want a glass Of
cool water before retiring, he carried
pitcher to the room and entered with
out knocking. He was surprised to
find General Wheeler upon his knees
before the bed engaged in his devo-
tons. He waited revcrcntly until the
general arose and apologizcd for the in
tcrruption.
Don't mention it," said General
Wheeler II think all Of us ought to
kneel before we retire. and thank our
good Maker for His mcrCieS and bless
ings."
The members Of General Wheeler's
staff say that during the Santiago cam
paign he never lay down to sleep with
out offering prayer and never arose
in the morning without thanking God
for His protection and preservation.
