Army Recruited, Mustered, Equipped and Placed in the Field in Ninety Days. A consolidated statement prepared by Maj. John A. Johnston, assistant adjutant seneral, shows that of the 2 by the regular and volunteer acne up to this time, have been mysterad into the service. Of the 23,021 yet required to complete the authorized quota of the army, 8 are regulars, 3,000 are volun- teers under the second call, S62 are munes and S51 are enginers. The authorized strength of the regular army is 61,000. On april 30 it contained 50) men. Since that time 23,192 recruits have been obtained from 75,000 applicants, by a limited number of recruiting cfiicers, for the most part strangers in che country cunva and during.a period of competi- im- | ticn by state authorities for the same men.

The recruiting, mustering, equipping and piacing in the field of the present great army of nearly 300,000 men fin less than nmety days—every man having to undergo a strict examination—is regarded by army eyperts as a wonderful achi2yement. Offi- cers representing the great armies of Euro- pean nations have been amazed at the work accomplished, and admit frankly that Evrope contains little of such fighting ma- terial as is to be found in abundance in the United States. ORDERED TO HONOLULU. A Battalion of the Second Regiment of Volunteer Engineers. Arrangements are being perfected at the War Department fcr the establishment of a military garrison at Honolulu, Hawaih Orders were issued today for a battalion of the 2d Regiment of Volunteer Engineers to proceed to Honolulu in company with the 1st Regiment New York Volunteer In- fantry, Ool. Barber commanding, which is to constitute the first garrison of United States troops stationed on this newly an- nexed territory of the United States. The 2d Regiment of Volunteer Engineers was recruited on the Pacific coast and is now quartered at San Francisco. It is in command of “Col. William Young, upon whom will devolve the selection of the bat- talion to be transferred to Honolulu. It ts expected that the troops will sail for that vat in a few days.

Commissioner Wight, who has immediate charge of the District fire department and its alarm service, today approved the de- sign for the additional story to engine house 14 on Sth street between D and E, where the new. fire-alarm headquarters will be located. Proposals will be adver- tised for in a day or so, and the work, for which Congress appropriated $6,000, is ex- pected to be commenced about the ist of August. It is belieyed it will be completed in about'a month’s time, when the work of installing the new fire-alarm service, for which Congress has allowed the sum of $37,500, will be pushed forward te comple- tion Mr. Wight has Just returned from a visit of inspection of the Brooklyn fire-alarm service, whieh is:ciaimed to be not only the latest, but also the best-equipped in the country. The District, Mr. Wight believes will have when the new service is comple ed, which will probably be about the 1st of October, one as good, if not better, than that at Brooklyn: “It will, he says, be a most complete and modernly equipped ser ice, one in striking Contrast with the pre: ent Distcict fire-alarm equipment, which is not only ancient, but also far from being accurate at all times. What It Will Include. The new service will include not only all the latest devices at headquarters, but the District will also be equipped with fire alarm boxes supplied with all the improve- ments to prevent destruction by lightning and live wires, and with an automatic at- tachment to prevent confusion where two or more boxes are pulled at the same time, each box as pulled indicating its number separately to the operators at headquar- ters. The houses of the fire department will be supplied, in ‘addition to the regular gong alarm, with visual indicators and with what are Known as the “jokers.” In this way the number of the box pulled first will be sounded on the “joker” and dropped on the indicator, when if the box is one to which the company responds the man on watch will switch it onto the big house gong, which will release the horses and notify the other members of the company. Then, as quickly as the horses are hitched up, the man on watch, having meantime notified the officer in charge of the number of the box, the company will leave quar- ters without being compelled, as is now the case, to wait until the box has been sounded on the house gong. In this way much time will be saved by the compa- nies in getting on their way to a fire and saved at a time when delay, even of but a few seconds, means more than at any other period of a fire. Watchman Provided For. When the service is put into operation it is proposed to have ai man on watch in the various houses of thé. fire department at all hours of the daj‘dnhd night, whose duty it will be to catéh the number of a box pulled from the “jpkeg/ and the indicator. Of course, if the box sounded be not in the district covered by, the company on a first alarm, the watchman will simply re- cord it and notify’ the officer in charg In performing this ‘duty the ‘erent mem. bers of the compiimies will, with the cx- ception of the foreman} perhaps, take their turn, the twenty-four’hours being divided up into watches of-so:many hours each. Een MILES ISON HIS WAY. Peery Left With 3,000 Mew Yesterday After- noon for: Porto Rico. General Miles) ‘lending the military ex- started at, 3 Cuba, for the point on, the Isiand of Porto Rico where it is the,intention that the treops shall land. General Miles will wait at an appointed spot on the route for the expeditions from Tampa, Newport News and Charleston to fall into his column. These expeditions are already under wa: scme of them with two or three days start of General Miles, so that the delay should not be very great. After all the difficuity about the naval convoy, and the first conclusion of the naval authorities that none was necessary, the strength of that now furnished is surprising. There are a battle ship vf the first class, the Ma: suchusetts, an effective protected cruiser, the Cincinnati, a speedy and well-armed gunboat, the Annapolis, and four vessels of the auxiliary navy, which have already proved by their ‘performance in Cuban waters that they are fully equal to the oi dinary gunboat inoffensive power. These are the Gloucester, the Wasp, the Dixie and the Leyden. Secretary Aiger believes that General Miles on the Yale will ar- rive at his destination Sunday morning, with 3,000 men under his immediate com- mend. A day later will come 4,000 men on trersports and the day following that 3,500 more. Whether the landing will be de- ferred until the arrival of this entire force or whether General Miles will take the initiative and hoist’ the flag himseif on Porto Rican soil is left to the discretion of that officer. It is the department's deter- mination that he shall not lack Zor troops or equipment, and this first expedition may be followed by several others as fast as the troops can be made ready until word comes from the general that he needs no more. General Schwan’s brigade, comprising the 5th, the lith and 19th United States In- fantry, a splendid body of trained soldiers, ‘sailed from Tampa yesterday to join Gen- eral Miles. The Navy Department has issued the following statement in regard to the Porto Rico expedition: “Admiral Sampson telegraphs to the Sec- retary of the Navy that there has been no delay in furnishing ample convoy to General Miles. A day or two ago’ the Cin- cinnati and New Orleans were both placed at his disposal. “The Columbia and Yale, carrying troops, are both powerfully armed,’ .says the admiral’s telegram; and ‘this is an ample convoy for his expedi- tion and to effect his landing.’ The An- napolis, Wasp and Leyden had been or- dered from Nipe, the. Gloucester also added, and the three monitors orderéd from Key West. Under these circumstances, there certainly has been no lack of naval as- sistance. If General Miles preferred to wait, the delay was his own. However, in further answer to his request, the Mas- sachusetts and Diile’ were also added yes- terday morning, giq’*he has probably started.” say ‘This statement shows.that General Miles will be backed in effeoting his landing on Porto Rican sotl sy @ strong squadron of the navy.

Judge Scott of the Police Court will be called on next Wednesday to determine a question of law which is said to be of great importance to a large number of local busi- ness men, a law which, if sustained by him and by the appellate court, will in- crease the District revenue probably $20,000 annually. The question arises upon the arrest of Messrs. William D. Hadger, John Woerner, ir., John D. Lasley and Charles M. Lewis, prominent business men, engaged in the general bicycle business, chatged with be- ing unlicensed junk or second-hand deal- ers. The prosecution is instituted under the act of March 3, 1891, entitled, “An act re- lating to junk dealers, dealers in second. hand personal property and pawnbrok in the District of Columbia,” which act, part, provides as follows: Provisions of the Law. hat junk dealers and dealers in second- hand personal property of any kind or de scription whatsoever, shall pay to the Dis- trict of Columbia a licerse tax of $40 nually. Every person whose business it to buy or sell ld iron, rags, paper, second- hand clothing or any second-hand perscnal property of any kird or description wnat- soever, shall be subject to the provisions of this act and to all the laws and regula- tions row in force in the District of Colum- bia, and to all valid regulations which may hereafter be provided relating to junk deal- ers or dealers in second-hand personal property: Provided, nevertheless, That no sale shall be made by junk dealers and dealers in second-hend personal property of such second-hand property in their pos- session, until after the expiration of ten days from and after the time at which re- pert has been made to the major of police of the purchase thereof, as provided by the police regulations of the District of Columbia.” It has become a universaily observed cus- tom among dealers in bicycles, it is sald, to take second-hand bicycles as a part pay- ment for new wheels, and, after the o:d rachine is touched up, it is sold by the dcaler; but if the law above quoted be ap- picable to this class of business all persons engaged therein must first take out licenses as junk dealers, and must, secondly, report their purchases to the major of police ten icys before they make any sale of the property so purchased. The Probable Result. The result of the presecution, it ts de clared, if the law is sustained, will be ie forcing out of business of a great number of the smaller dealers, those not represent- ing standard manufecturers, but cealing aimost exclusively in second-hand property, ard whose business will not justify the payment of the tax. As tais law, if applicable to bicycle deal- ers, equally affects agents for typewriters and sewing mactines and dealers in cur- rizges, piaaos, aarness, furniture and mu- sical instruments, and all other merchants who take second-hand property as a part peyment on new merchandise, it is ex- pected that a Vigorous legal fight will re- sult. ‘The gentlemen now under arrest, it is said, are endeavoring to enlist all persons who would be affected by the sustaining of the law, to the end that their case may be, if necessary, taken to the Court of Ap- peals as a test cese. Mr. Alexander H. Bell is attorney for the defendants and Mr. James L. a, ie will prosecute on behalf of the Disirict. REESE LE: A HOSPITAL IN HONOLULU, Gen.

C. T. U. Convention Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., July 21, 1898, The sixth day's program of the W. C. T. | U. commenced with a devotional service under the leadership of Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, who read the 115th Psalm and a part of the 117th. The special thought was David's exhortation of “Not unto us, Oh, Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy and for Thy truth’s sake.” Special requests for prayer were made for conversion, restoration to health, consécration to active Christian life and for wisdom to the leaders of the white ribbon army. This meeting was followed by one for Bible study, which was in charge of Mrs. Tatum. She selected Il Kings, ud chapter, as the subject for exposition, and especial- ly dwelt upon Elisha’s succeeeding to the mantle of Elijah, and his startling re- quest for a double portion of the prophet’s spirit. Mrs. Ella Boole, President of the New York State W. C. s upon Woman's Suftra man's suffrage movement me: not only for the ballot box, but all along that line; that when the movement was first agitated, not a single college existed where woman might receive a higher edu- cation, while now more than 230 of such colleges open their doors for the advan- tages of such education. A girl is worth as much as a boy, and has as good a right to an education and to receive equal pay for equal work, the speaker said. W it used to be the talk that a wom supported by her husband, it is now recog- nized that the wife who st and cares for it and the c| ing share and share alike band; that while a man may be from a jail Monday and vote Tuesday, woman is denied her right to register her convictions at the ballot box simply be- cause she is a woman; that while her prop- erty is taxed she may have no voice in the disposition of the money so raised, and the back seat of the carriage must be silent while the front seat can vote. The evening service was in charge of Mrs. M. R. Haslup, the Rev. W. M. Q. German of Gaithersburg acting as organist. A volunteer choir sang several selections. Mrs. M. B. Platt gave a talk, in which she referred to the cry of the mothers rising over the land by reason of the traffic in alcoholic drinks, and urged the necessity of responsibility being recognized, accord- ing to each one’s capability as the oppor- tunity arises. She was followed by Mrs. Boole, who an nounced as her subject “Woman's Mission and God’s Commission.” She spoke of the initial movement at Chautauqua, in 1874, for the organization of the W. C. T. U.; and of the four planks of the platform adopted at the Cleveland meeting, which still remains as follows: Reformation of the drunkard by taking the pledge; educa- tion of children in temperance principles; ys in the home j | j Luc | tion filed. | of publication. I building of public sentiment in a temper- ance line; closing of the saloon by jaw. The growth of the L. T.
