the Vol
Already Ni:v You;, Sept. 8. A special to the
Tfilnini' from Washington says : Orders
will lie issued from tin) war department
in h day or two announcing 1 1 it. field and
stiilf officers of two additional volunteer
regiment?, which will be organized after
the manner of the Ho-called immiine
regiments html to Oubu hint ycur, their
company officers and privates buitip ex
clusively colored men nnd they will be
ready to Hail for the Philippines utrly in
November.
The addition of these regiments lo tho
nrniy almost cxhuustB the quota of 3,
000 volunteer- allowed by congress.
There will then bo twenty-five regiments
of HJO'J men each, which, with the Porto
Hi ta naval battulion of '100 men leaves
a maiL'iu of only 1875 in the authorized
strength, or not quite enough for another
regiment and u half.
General Miles had recommended three
colored regiments, while Genurul Otis
had represented that neetooB were not
desired in the Philippine!, the friendly j
natives being Htrongly prejudiced against
them. It is likely that one of the now
organisations will liave its temporary
quartern at Richmond and bo com
manded by Captain Willinm P. Duvall,
First artillery, who woo major in the in-Bpectrir-geiieraPs
department and lieu-tonaut-culonel
hi the ordinonee corps
laet year.
The other regiment ""rill probably be
organized at Auniston, Ala. All the offi
cerB lmvu already been selected for tho
two organizations and it, only remains
for thu president to issue cotumiaBlons
and for the war department to direct the
beginning of recruiting. It has not yet
been determined whether General Miles
nd his stall' will go to Manila next
month or not. If hn doea not it will have
to be in a similar capacity to that which
houwupied at Santiago, rather than in
the exercise of such authority bb that

for no idea appears to be entertained by
Secretury Hoot of having General Otis
superseded, notwithstanding the popular
demand for his recall 'to the United
States.
Under the circumstances it Is thought
General Miles will prefer to maintain
hifi headquarters of the army in Washing
ton, wheie he moy exert his influence
more effectively in directing the cam
paign ns the etiief military Instrument
of the president and secretary of war.
An" encouraging feature of tho coming
campaign against Aguinaldo is the assur
ance now given at the war departnif nt
that increased responsibility and author
ity have been given to the commanding
geueruls in the field, thereby to a great
extent enabling General OHs to devote
more attention to the adminietratlvo af
fairs, which have been increased
enormously and will continue to
multiply ns new territory is brought
tinder his jurisdiction by aggressive
naval and military operations.
SLATED FOR PHIL
IPPINE SERVICE
Hoth Miles and Mcrritt Will Probably
Go.
New Youk, Sept. 8. A special the
Journal and Advertiser from Washing
ton save :
After forty-eight hours of almost con
Btunt diEcussioti among the president,
Secretary Root, Professor Schurman,
Senator Beveridge, General Miles and
Adjutant-General Corbin, it may be
stated positively that General Merritt
will go to the Philippines.
No statement is made as to what po
sition General Merritt is to assume, but
it id probable the movement contem
plates the division of Chits' present duties
into two departments, Merritt to have
charge of tho military end.

Klondike on the Wave.
Oiiegoj. City, Sept. 7. -Ex-Sheriff G.
W. Grace, James Ileckort and George
Tucker returned today from Dawson
ihe two latter have been therefor two
years, but Mr. Grace recently went in to
look after business interests. They re
port that the Yukon river it fairly lined
with boats taking in supplies, but there
will be fewer men in the Klondike
country the coming winter than there
were last year. Many men have left
the country, but there uie still more
than can secure employment. They
further stated that no new strikes bad
been made, and that wages would be

I Eufl'ercd with diarrhoea for a long
time and thought I was past being cured
I had spent much time and monev and
suffered so much misery that I had a!
most decided to give up all hopes of re
covery and await the result, but notic
ing tbe advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera avid Diarrhoea Hemedy
and also eome testimonials stating how
some wonderful cures had been wrought
by tiiia remedy, I decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was entirely
well ot that trouble, and I wish to say
further to my readers and fellow-sufferers
that I am a hale and hearty man to
day and feel as well as I ever did in my
life. 0. li. Moore. Sold by Blokeley &

South Oregon Pioneers.
Ashland, Or., Sept. 7. The annual
reunion of the Pioneer Society of South
ern Oregon was held at Ashland today.
The day was perfect, and tlie gathering
was a representative one from every
section of the country. A musical and
literary programme was observed at the
Chautauqua tabernacle in the forenoon,
when the address of the day was de
livered by J. Percy Wells, a native son,
and was exceedingly well received.

Cornea from Dr. D. B. Caigile, of
Washita, I. T. lie writes:
"Four bottles of Electric Bitters has
cured Mrs. Brewer of tcrofula, which bad
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and tho best doctors
could give no help; but her cure is com
plete and her health is excellent." This
shows what thousands have proved,
that Klectrie Bitters is the best blood
purifier known. It's the supremo
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum,
ulcere, boils and runuing sores. It
stimulates liver, kidneys nnd bowels,
expels poisons, helps digestion and
builds up the strength. Only 50 cents.

Bryan to the Jcrseyites.
Washington, Sept. 7. Considerable
interest is manifested in a letter which
Bryan has written to the New Jersey
democrats which is intended to Eecure
him the delegation from that state. His
advice is for them to advocate an
amendment to the constitution on the
income tax, and f jr the election of sen
ators by tbe people, and to come out
strong in favor of anti-tiust legislation.
The remarkable feature of the letter
is that it eays nothing about silver or
the Chicago platform.
He Fooled the Surueous.
All doctors told Kenick Hamilton, of
West Jeflerson, O., after suffering 18
months from Rectaf Fistula, he would
die unless a costly operation was per
formed ; but he cured himself with live
boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, tbe
surest Pile cure on Kuril), and the best
Salve in the World. 25 cents a box, Sold

Verdict Today.
Rkn.ves, Sept. 8. Announcement was
made this afternoon that the verdict of
the court-martial will be rendered to
morrow. Laborl foregoes the right to
speak for defense, lest by doing so he
should irritate the judges nnd destroy
the good effect hoped for by the speech
of Demange. Tbe court, therefore, will
deliberate on the conclusion of Demauge's
speech and the judgement will probably
be delivered before noon. There is a
nearly un'versat feeling this afteruoou
that Dreyfus will be condemned.
