WASHINGTON, Sept. 1L—At the con- clusion of the Dewey celebration at New York Admiral Sampson will be relieved of the command of the North Atlantic This action is to be taken at t request of the admiral, who has al- ready had much more than his portion of sea service in his grade. After a short leave of absence he will be assigned to shore duty, probably in command of one of the navy vards. In considering the selection of Admiral Sampson cessor as commander-in- chief of the North Atlantic station the > Department has practically nar- rowed the field down to two names. It has been laid down as the policy to be followed that the commands of fleets and stations shall be reserved, wherever prac- ticable, for the nine rear admirals of the first grade. It has been found that of these officers who are not already on sea service or about to retire shortly there are three names—Remey, in command at Portsmouth; Farquhar, commandant at Norfolk, and Schley, president of the re- tiring board. Farquhar has been longest on continuous shore duty and it is in- dicated that either he or Remey is to succeed Sampson. Mrs. ing. The otherofficers on the regimental staff are: Surgeons Major James W. Heney, Captaln Alvin 8. Hawkins and Lieutenant R. S. Porter; Captain J. Van Ness Philip, adjutant, and Lieutenant B. Stark, commissar. The Thirty-first started from Fort Thomas Saturday morning. It is made | up of recruits from Ohio, Indiana, Ken- tucky and Tennessce, and among its men it has a number of members of families from the interior of Kentucky who have been actively engaged in feuds of more or | long standing. There are some mem of the Hatfield-McCoy feudal fas tions and some Bakers and some How ards. The fighters have all agreed to quit as long as they remain in the service, however, so there is no fear of more morn- | 0000000 < A AT ATATATATATAAADSATATASAT A A ASATAATATAASASASHHO0000000000000000000 03 ® e Vews of the Volunteers at FHome and at the Front 3§ i & ; 8 ©C00000000000000000008 X X X X XX, ¥ ¥ X XKD KD AT HTEDET Y YDA YR AT A KKK O00000000000000006 0”8 post as recruits will come as members of the new volunteer regiments; but still there is no doubt of the fact that the number of recruits is becoming less and less. At one time there were over 4000 men in _the various camps, and their ac- commodation became a matter for serious consideration, but that time has passed. | There will be 4000 and over for a while it | all the regiments from the East come to- gether here, but it will be for a short time only, and then the camps will have to_depend on recruits again. Six hundred and fifty of the men for the Warren went down to the vessel vester- day; the remainder of her complement will 'be put aboard this morning. Of these men 206 are for the Thirty-sixth Infantry, 264 for the Thirty-seventh and 45 for the Eleventh Cavalry. A committee from the citizens' com< mittee called at the headquarters of the | First California Regiment yesterday to {leave with Colonel Duboce some books for | the gathering of statistics regarding the men of the regiment, for use in finding employment for those who may not have | work ‘when they are mustered out, On | the committee were Rabbi Voorsanger, Mr. Vail and Mr. Benedict. Later the e tive committee called on Colonel Du- boce, and the matter was once more dis- he books left for distribution to the captains of the First California and the California Artillery when filled out will contain the name, age, residence, former employer and occupation of each man. | They will be given to the captains this | morning, and Colonel Dubogce has prom- | ised that they shall be filled out without { delay. The fhformation they contain will | be compiled in a register, and when the commands are mustered out the commit- | tee will be able to act at once for those | who have not been able to provide them- selves with work. ¥ | ~The officers of the First California Regi- ‘m(’n[ have decided that they will re-enter the service of the State within sixty days | after they have been mustered out of t United States servic Apout half of the non-commissioned officers of the regiment have declared the same intention, and it is understood that a majority of the men will also re-enlist in the Natlonal Guard. The regiment will give up its arms next | Monday. | There will be trouble for some of the | men from the heavy artillery if they do not pay more attention to guard duty than they have been paying. It has happened’ that when the time for guard mount came there has been an absent list that usually | includes the same men, and there are four | or five whos {)la("t—s on the guard have had to be filled by their comrades regu- larly since the men went into camp. Ma- Jjor Rice is going to put a stop to any- | thing of that kind, and yesterday he or- | dered the battery commanders to prefer | charges against any were detailed on the guard and who were ! absent_from guard mount. They will be warned or perhaps will be given a turn at police duty as a reminder, and if there is more absence a turn in the post guard- house will be added. Major Rice says he does not wish to be hard on the men, particularly at this time, but there is one duty that must be performed, and that is guard duty. If there is any one detailed on the guard who does not report for duty some one of his comrades must take his place, and Major Rice will not let any | | of his men i upon the others. The Colorado regiment were all finished vesterday and were sent in to the paymaster. The regiment will be | mustered out on September 3. The Wyoming battalion will probably be between September 23 and 27. The ldaho men and the North Da- | kota men will follow very soon after. Yesterday _afternoon the Governors, | Senators and Congressmen who arc here to receive the returning volunteers from their several States were the guests of General Shafter at luncheon. ey met | at the Presidio yesterday morning and mustered out the fortifications on the heights overiook- ing the Golden Gate. Then they were { driven to the Pacinc Union Club, where | they had luncheon. A salute from Ligit | Battery C, Thitd Artillery, was fired as they came into the post. ~Assistiug Gen- eral Sbafter in the entertainment of the | guests were Major Robert Noblg, aid on | the general's staff; Captain Sedgwick | Pratt, artillery inspector of the depart- | and Captain krank Greenc, signal The party was a most enjoyable one. The entertainment Jf these aistin- | guished guests properly belongs to tke Governor of this State, but he bas sho no desire to put himself out :n or be gracious, nor has he taken any in in their welfare. There were two promotions announced | in'the Wyoming battalion yesterday. Sec- ond Licutenant Charles Pinney was maide a first lleutenant and First Sergeant Henry A. Smith was made & second ifeu- tenant. i The expected appointments of majors in the First California Regiment are still unannounced. There is some feeling be- img shown at the delay, for tne holding back of the appointments 1z only keeping back two promotions all along the line. Under a recent ruling of the Wer Depart- ment there can be but WO MAajors ap- pointed, for the regiment must be kept o the old National Guard standard, which provided for only two majors, the lieu- tenant colonel being in charge of tne first battalion. When these two majors have been appointed there will be room for two more caplains, two more 'irst isutenants and two more second lie will let two men rise be mustered out with Then_ to fill the ncies | ment office: erest s right through the non-commissioned and two privates will finally put on chevrons just in time to earn the title they carr : There are four vacancies in the Idaho regiment—that of lieutenant colonel and three lieutenants. They will probably be filled by Governor Stzunenbers within a day or two. At the meet mittee ¢ day it w decided to fi a year, payable on October 1. It was also decided to move the headquarters to the tent Union Square. surer, Mrs. Harrington, reported A special thanks was given the Market t Railway Company for a donation 500. A vote of thanks was also passed to ihe Southern Pacific Company and all its connecting lines for special rates they had made for some of the needy volunteers. The Colorado boys e not forgotten, and a vote of thanks was tendered them for the assistance they had given in preparing for the great cele- bration. % 5 It was reported that during August 151 men had been assisted home at a cost of 379 50, and employment had been found for sixteen at a cost of $62 40. A letter was read which informed the soclety that 8000 medals would be deliv- ered to the men who were in service, and in case of a man being killed or having died his nearest relative would be given his medal. Alm ation: was called to the memorial servi which will be held in honor of those who gave their lives in the service to-morrow.

The Thirty-first is btfirk‘-d to | sail on the transport Sherman as soon as she can be got ready, and the Thirty- fourth will sail soon after. It has been the custom to keep the men for the Phil- ippines at the Presidio for at least a month, in order to give them plenty of time for target practice; but there will be no delay in the case of the regiments here and coming here. In the case of the Thirty-first the lack of practice will not be felt so badly, for the men of that com mand have alréady had from a week to ten days of practice before they started for this coast. The following regiments are on the way here: The Twenty-seventh, from Camp Meade, left there on August 2. The Twenty-sixth leaves Plattsburg on Sep- tember 5 and the Thirtieth will leave about the same date from Fort Sheridan The Thirty-second is to leave Fort Leay- enworth about September 16. The recruit camp at the Presidio will be cleaned out this morning. With the salil- ing of the Warren with over 1100 men the last of the available rookies will have left the post. It Is the first time since the recruit camp was started that it has been anywhere near empty, but lately the transports have been carrying away more than the recrulting offices have been send- ing, and so the number of men available has been steadily growing smaller. Three months ago men were coming in at an average of over 100 a day. fell to eighty a_ day, then to 'sixty, and now there are days when none come at all.
