RAILROAD, Nathaniel Wilson Men: ed Successor of Late President. A meeting of the directors of the Colum- bia Railroad Company will be held at the office of the company tomorrow afternoon for the purpose of filling the vacancy caused by the death of the president, the late R. F. Baker. It is stated that the place will be offered to Mr. Nathaniel Wil- son, who is now one of the directors, and also the counsel of the company. Im the event Mr. Wilsqn understood he will continue as counsel of faced and contol wil be practically merged PREPARATIONS GO ON Army and Navy Both Getting Ready for War. THE RENDEZVOUS AT CHICKAMAUGA Garrison at Fort Sheridan is Held Ready to Move. OTHER ARMY ORDERS MARE ISLAND NAVY YARD, Cal., April 11.—The United States veesels now here are rapidly being prepared for use in case of war. The cruiser Charleston is nearly rzady to leave the dock. It is the intention of Admiral Kirkland to have her ready for fighting by the end of the present month. On Saturday afternoon the P2nsacola was placed in commission, with Capt. Henry Glass in command. She has only a work- ing crew at present. The reason for plac- ing the ship in commission at this time is that she ie to b> used as quarters for a large detachment of marines, who will be removed from the marine barracks in or- der to make room there for a temporary hospital. Since the earthquake wr2cked the buildings at Mare Island Captain Glass and several officers have been living on the Pensacola. ‘The task of preparing the Philadelphia for sea is being 2xpedited as fast as the mechanics can get ahead with the work. The work has become so great that tho men in the steam engineering department hav2 been ordered to work overtime. All the officers of the Albatross have been detached. She will probably go out of com- mission. A Garrison for Santa Crus. SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.—Generat Shafter, commanding the Department of Calfornia, has decided to recommend the immediate erection of a battery and the stationing of a garrison at Santa Cruz, either of regulars or National Guardsmen. ‘This precautionary measure is deemed ad- visable owing to the fact that the powder Plant near that town will otherwise be without protection against an enemy. The 12-inch breech-loading rifie recently arrived from the east will be moved to the Presidio within three days, and the work of mounting it on the disappearing carriage will be pushed as rapidly as possible. This will not-require more than ten days. The carriage is expected here from the east to- day. To Rendezvous at Chickamauga Park CHICAGO, April 11.—Col. J. G. C. Lee, assistant quartermaster general, United States asmy, department of the lakes, has asked contractors to bid for supplies to be delivered at Chickamauga Park. The railroads have been asked for proposals for transporting the command from Fort Sheridan and other posts in the west to Chattanooga, from which point the troops will march the eight miles to the place selected as the national rendezvous. The Proposals will pe opened on Thursday at the department headquarters in this city. The specifications call for 120 cords of wood for headquarters, 6,000 pounds of oats, 9,000 pounds of hay and 2,500 pounds of straw. The call for bids on supplies is regarded as convincing proof that the troops now at Fort Sheridan will be on their way to Chickamauga within a few days. Among the officers it is understoo@ that Wednes- day morning is the time agreed upon, a!- though a call is looked for at any moment. The call for bids for hay and oats shows that all branches of the service are to be represented at the rendezvous. The 25th Infantry, colored, of Fort Mis- soula, will pass through Chicago on Thurs- day, on their way to Chickamauga. Recruiting at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 11.—Assistant Adjutant General Kingsley said today that all arrangements had been completed 10 rendezvous the Ohio National Guard at Chickamauga on a declaration of war. The work of recruiting the naval reserve goes on steadily. The two Ohio divisions are now filled to their war strength. Another division has been recruited at Ashtabula and is waiting to be mustered in. It is expected that the naval reserve wiil be sent to the guif in case of hostilities and be placed on training ships. Troop A, Cleveland's crack cavalry company, re- cruited fifteen men yesterday and today ard scores of applications for enlistment have been received. The naval-and army recruiting stations are also picking up new men every day. Soldiers Paid on Sunday. VALENTINE, Nab., April 11.—Sunday was pay day at Fort Niobrara. A Sunday Pay day is a very unusual circumstance at a military post, and {c is reported that the Twentieth Infantry, stationed at the post, is under ord:rs to be ready to leave by Tuesday morning. Most of the companies have their dress uniforms, etc., packed and are in shape for immediate service. Patriotic Oneida India: ~-APPLETON, Wis., April 11.—A delegation of a dozen Indians from the Oneida reser- vation is in this city endeavoring to make arrangements for the enlistment of a num- ber of Indians in case of war with Spain. They were disappointed in not being able to find any authority to enlist them at once. A company of 100 and possibly two compa- nies could be raised on the reservation in a few hours, and most of the enlistments would be by young men. They think if they prove their worth in war against Spain they could be made citizens and show that they were competent to manage their own affairs. The Oneidas are, as a rule, prosperous farmers. The war spirit is said to be high on the reservation. Defenses at Portiand, Ore. PORTLAND, Ore., April 11.—Captain W. L. Fisk, U. 8. Engineers, has been notified that a number of torpedoes have been ship- ped to be placed at the mouth of the Co- lumbia river. Another 10-inch gun for for- tifications at Scarborough Head, on the Washington shore, will arrive here Wed- nesday. OFFICERS OF AUXILIARY CRUISERS. Latest Orders I ied by the Navy Department.

In the anticipation of the possibility of a call upon the National Guard of the states and the territories to assist in the national defense in the case of war with Spain, Adjutant General Corbin of the army has compiled a mass of interesting informa- tion in connection with the strength of the National Guard and the quota which eacn state and territory would be expected to furnish under calls for from 50,000 to 200,- G00 men, first, according to the total strength of the National Guard, and, sec- ond, according to the population of the different atates and territories. These ta- bles are very complete and show precisely the number of men which each state or territory, would be expected to furnish un- der the Constitution, regardless of the strength of the National Guard organiza- tions in each state and territory. In explanation of the tables given below it may be stated that, while the total strength of the Natiomal Guard of New York 1s 17,700, in case the National Guard of the country was called upon to supply £0,000 men, New York's apportionment ac- — to its strength would be 5,705 men, , according to its population 5,005. In cae the cali should be for 200,0u0 men, it would be required to furnish 22,820 men foe to the National Guard organiza- tion and 20,023 according to the Population ne follow i is th fi e follow! is the o! ~ on a basis of a call for 50,000 men, the pro- portions being maintained according to the same ratio in the case of calls for 100,000, 150,000 and 200,000 men: Apportionment for call of 50,000 men: HI ry State. & 23 ep 3s zs 22 & §2% 1,061 3,C00 633 ‘610 1,623 1,295 465 ‘530 1,220 643 194 136 493, 300 1,973 1,270 229 3 2,560 3,219 so Vat 075 500 ‘S61 1,115 804 = 1,368 1,229 776 6 502 920 at 2,200 1,880 1,306 1:748 3,660 ‘041149 3.800 1,166 2,104 1,100 ‘227 200 2/500 540 965 a iy 6.200 1,807 1,185 17,700 5,705 (5,005 2000 ‘738 1.034 Hi aoe ake 2,300 eas 332 13,700 4,047 4,308 1,900 ‘452 ‘284 1,100 278 3 13 5300 1,244 ee 1,400 194 170 1,800 aa 253 5000 1,205 1,115 1,700 ‘324 472 1,760 388 F668 4200 1,205 1,310 ‘900 ‘205 92 1,000 223 2 Dutriet t ot Columbia. 3,300 on 10 . 222" 1,200 220 56 It is stated by Adjutent General Corbin that in case a call for troops becomes neces- sary it ae ee ee ulation of the different states, and the re table shows that with very f:w exceptions th National Guard of the various states an territories is fully equal to a demand for a call for 200,000 men. The showing made by the District of Columbia is exceptionally good. Based on a call for 200,000 men it would not be expected to furnish on a basis of population more than 718 soldiers, to meet which it has an admirable organiza- tion of 3,100 men. In case it were called upon to supply men in proportion to the strength of the entire National Guard of the United States its proportion would be 2,284, nt CONDENSED LOCALS.

NEW CRUISERS IN PORT There was not a baker’s dozen of sena- tors and representatives combined at the ‘War and Navy Departments this morn- ing. Most of those who came up town fore proceeding to the Capitol went to the White House for a moment's conversation with the President, preliminary to the transmission to-Congress today of his mes- sage on the Cuban question. There was also an absence of visitors who came pure- ly to see the sights, almost everybody hav- ing the opportunity going to the Capitol, where the real interest of the day centered. * Secretary Long saw no congressional visitors this morning, but went shortly after 10 o'clock to the White House. The most interesting item of information that came to the Navy Department today was the report of the arrival of the cruisers San Francisco and New Orleans at Halifax today. The New Orleans is one of the vessels just purchased by the United States abroad, and was convoyed across the At- lantic by the San Francisco, which was the flagship of the European squadron, un- der the command of Commodore Howell. 1t is supposed the commodore is aboard the ship. It was believed at the Navy Depart- ment that the two vessels would come directly to New York, where they were expected to arrive Saturday or yesterday. It is supposed they were delayed by stress of weather. The arrival of the New Or- leans in this country is the source of su- Preme satisfaction to the naval officials, for she has aboard a number of the Maxim-Nordenfeldt rapid-fire guris just purchased in Europe and a quantity of ordnance stores. The guns are intended for seacoast fortifications, and are badly needed just at this time. So anxious were the officials that these stores should be brought to this country safcly that it may truly be said they were nearly as much interested in the safe arrival of the stores as of the ship herself. The expectation is that the two vessels will proceed promptly to New York. Officials in Conf@€ence. Secretary Alger of the War Department and Assistant S2cretary ‘Roosevelt of the Navy Department were in‘conference some time in regard to the general situation from a military and naval standpoint. While they were together Gen. Mil2s} commander of the army, dropped in, afid later, after the Officials had separated, Lieut:*Gen. Scho- field, retired, saw the Setr2tary for a few moments. The presence of these persons in the Secretary’s office Ied to the report that a general conference having in view the formation of a plan for a Joint naval and military demonstratior was. under con- sideravon, but the statement is made au- thoritatively that so far as a prearranged conference was concerned it was confined entirely to the Szcretary of War and the assistant secretary of the navy, During the morning thege was a meeting of the naval strategic board, those present including Mr. Roos:velt, Capt. Crownin- shield and Capt. Clover, members, and Rear Admiral Walker and Lieut. Com- mander Wainwright, who had been celled fn to assist the board in its deliberations. The Mosquito Fleet. Commander Elmer, who has charge of the organization of what is known as the Mosquito fleet, was at the’ Navy Depart- iment today in conference with the officials regarding the work under his charge. The commander reports the inquiry concerning the boats available for the purposes of his fleet as progressing finely, and says if war comes the government can obtain all the craft necessary for the organization of the fleet. This addition to the ‘auxiliary navy is designed primarily to supplement the op- €rations of the larger ships and to assist in the protection of seaport towns lacking adequate fortifications. Commander Elmer has recommended to the Navy Departnient that the territory covered by this fleet ex- tending over the Atlantic ani gulf coasts be divided into seven distrtcts, each of which to be under command of a naval of- ficer. Several of the districts have already been organized, and today’s naval orders included the assignment of Commander Forse to the charge of the third district, with headquarters at Lewes, Del., and Commander Reeder in charge of the fourth district, with headquarters at Fort Monroe. Movements of Warships. Word reached the department today of the arrival of the first-class cruiser Baitt- ncre at Yokohama, Japan, on her way to Hong Kong to join the Asiatic squadron. She will make a strong addition to the American fieet in those waters. The Ba!- timore had aboard a large quantity of am- n-unition stores, which she transshiped et Honolulu, to which place they had* been brought by the cruiser Marion. These stores will be distributed among the ships of the squaéron. Reports received at the Navy Depariment show that the gurboat Wilmington Sas sailed from. Jacksonville for Key West; that the gunboat Annapolis, the auxiliary cruiser Yankee (El Norte) and the collier Sterling have arrived at the New York navy yard; that the dispatch boat Doiphin has ecfled from Brooklyn for Key West, and the-training ship Alliance. pas sailed from Newport for Hampton Roads. \ Army Orders, — i Lieut, Henry Jervey, Corps of Engineers, has been ordered to duty a: New.

An amusing incident occurred on the ficor of the Senate immediately after ad- journment today. Senator Burrows ap- picached Senator Elkins and remarked to the latter with a twinkle in his eye that it was reported that he had seen the Presi- dent’s message and had gone over it ,with a blue pencil, striking out lots of things that he thought ought not to be in it. Senator Elkins laughed at this thrust and then.in a serious manner remarked that as a matter of fact he had never seen the message or been told of its contents or even discussed what it would contain with the President. He sai@-he ‘had known ab- solutely nothing of what its contents were except what he had gathered from the Pewspapers. + @ 2 Marriage licenses have been issued to the INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. oe See PRAO AUTEUR TH STREAM EER EE ERR RRUSUTTARAD REA AAD COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS.
