state department relative to the McCum-

Mr.. Polk is understood to be prepar-

mission to the president at to-day's cab

II is understood that this opinion will
be unfavorable, although at the confer

Mr.. Polk merely discussed the matter
without announcing any decision.
According to information obtained at
the state department yesterday the al

agree to let the United States conscript
their subjects in this country provided
in doing so this country would send them
to Europe to become part of the military

WILSON ISSUES FORMAL DRAFT ORDER

Washington.-The government has
notified each state of the number Of
men 1t will be called upon to furnish in
the draft. This notification was con-
tained in the formal order Issued by
the president calling for 687,000 men
under the selective conscription law
to make up the national army.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors Of
state quotas among the local exemp-
ton districts and the great lottery,
which probably will be held next
order in which reglstrants are to pre-
sent themselves for service or exemp-
ton.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
National Guard to war strength and
to organize the first 100000 of the new
national army.
Total to Be 1,262,ee5.
The total of these three forces will
De 1885,, 1886 men.
Later another 100000 will be called
out, supplemented by sufficient men
to make up losses and maintain re-
serve battalions.
Following Is Secretary of War
Bakers announcement of the order:
"By virtue Of the authority vested
in him by an act of congress- entitled

the schedule hereto appended.
Must ApportIon Quotas.
"The governor of each state and ter
ritory and the commissioners Of the

tice Of the net quota to be furnished
by such board, and such net quotas
shall thereupon be furnished by the re-
spective local boards as required by

ulations prescribed pursuant thereto"
In computing the number of men to
be required from the various states
the government put to the credit Of
each state every man 1t now has in
the National Guard and every man it
has contributed since April 1 as q
war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number Of war volunteers
needed on April 1 last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was COM
puted by checking off the number of
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of men
given by the state to the regular army
since April l.
The apportionment was made on the
basis Of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions
of 05,366,056 inhabitants.
This Is paper estimate, computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
Of quotas by population, but which
equalizes in a great measure the bur-
den that is to fall upon the 1850 ex-
emption districts.
Total Of 1,152,9a5.
Each will furnish under this appor-
tiOnment the men its total registration
would indicate as fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulation Of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas is l.
152,985 men.
Credit is given to the various states
for total of 465, 1856 voluntary enlist
ments in the National Guard and reg
ulars, making the total net quota for
all states 687,000 men.
Illinois, which was the first big state
to fill its quota for the regular army,
reduced it's gross quota of 1904 to
51,65S.
