RECRUITING FOR

By l'Atlihhr Wire from I he Airfoclaied Vrece.
Washington, Jan. IS. Active recruit
ing is In progress In all the principal
cities ot the country. The authorized
strength of the regular army at pres
ent is HR.ono men ami the recruiting In
progress Is with a view of maintaining
It at that stiength after the discharge
ot the S5.000 volunteers on June To nest.
All enlistments ,ne for thtce years and
the number of icerults averages about
two thousand a month. Owing to tha
dclaj In notion of tho army bill, the
Impresfloii prevills in tho war depart
ment that It will be almost Impossible
to get all the vohiiiteors to thin coun-trj-
In time to permit their discharge
heie by June .!0. In that cai-e It will
bo necpssarj to dlf.charge a nuinbr in
tlio Philippines on that date In order
to keep them there until replaced by
regular troops now being lecrnlted.
Otherwise It would be Impossible to
keep the Philippine army up to tho
limit of 4'i,00il men regarded ui essen
tial to the enforcenv.Mit of the presi
dent's pollcj- while the ptoposcd reor
ganization of the army Is In progress.
It is said at the war depaitment that,
while It Is settled that all volunteers
will be discharged June SO, the course
of events In the near futute will deter
mine to a considerable extent whether
the dlsch.'fges Hlnill take place in tha
Phlllpplnts or In tho United Stntes.
Kvery effort will bo made to get as
many of them here uh osslbl beforo

Washington, Jan. IS. The ciders to
the Scorpion to proceed from I.a Gulra.
lo (Hmnoro have been oountcrmundeel
and she vMll remain at La dull a, where
her xuesenco Is regarded as necesfari".
Hy direction of tho stutv department,
Minister Loomls hub protested to the
Venezuelan government ugnlnst th;
exerclfce of censorship over any of his
olllelal e'omnuinlcattons, and 11 Is
understood that the protest has been
effective.
It cannot be gathered that any very
late advices have caused the chang? in
the depaitmeiU's plans relatlvo to the
movements of tho .Seorpion. In fact.
It Is said that nothing has been re
ceived to show any marked change In
the status In Venezuela since yester
day, when Milliliter Loomls spoke of
the (suppression of a lebelllon among
the troops In Caracas, the very Incep
tion of which was unknown to tho de
paitment of state. The fact that sucu
a movement could gain headway in
Castro's own capital, however. Is very
significant, and this rebellion among
the troops maj have led to the decis
ion to retain the Scorpion at h:i Gulra,
tho nearest port to Caracas.
The naval authorities were consulted
dining the rtaj as to the fcaslbllltj of
rclnforclnz the American naval force
In Venezuela, but while some such
thing Is In prospect, it cannot be
learned that any positive orders have
yet gone out.
There In. no di&piv-Itlon on the part
of the authorities hen: to go to any
unusual length In dealing with this
situation, and they saj frankly that It
Is not a. part of their purpose to brow
beat or coerce the Venezuelans by any
formidable naval tlenioustnillorr. un
less such course Is absolutely forced
upon them, which Is not believed lo be
at all likely. Uut It Is quite ceitaln
tbut Admhal Farquhar will shape tho
movements of the North Atlantic
fquadien so as to keep In close touch
with the navy department, and he will
not be far away from a cable for maiij
days at a time nftcr he leaves Florida.
QUEEN'S HEALTH.
Is Such That Her Physicians Think
She Should Re Kept Quiet.
By Kxrlu'lvo Wire from The smtcd rre.
O.uborne, Jsle of Wight, Jan. IS.
Tin following official announcement
regarding tho queen's health has bo;n
niadu known:
"The queen, dm lug the past year,
has hud a great sttuln upon her pow
ers, which has rather told upon her
nervous system. It has therefore been
thought .tdvlsablo by her majesty's
phj-slcians that her majeHj' should be
kept perfectlj quiet In tho houro t-id
f-hould abstain for the present from
transacting business."
London. Jan. 10. Although it Is ful
ly understood that there Is no cause
foi alarm bej'nml what would natur
ally bo felt at the Indisposition of
anyouu of the queen's ag , the olllelal
aunuuncment issued last evening has
caused a i-hock to the country, the
effect of which It would be dllllcult
to exaggerate. Her majesty' abso
lute freedom from Illness during the
longest reign in I.ngllsh history, has
led her peoplo to regard her nlmont
as more than mortal: and tho mere
novelty of having to face tho possibil
ity of a regency alono sutllces to cre
ate unnecossarj apprehension.
"It Is nscesrary to go back to n ilato
prior to 1SC0 for n similar situation.
.Since that time, there has never been
an lntci ruptlon of the smooth work
ing of the constitutional machine. Xo
one, not even tho Filnee of Wales, caa
act for the queen, without the au
thority of parliament; and, as no steps
havo been taken to summon parlia
ment, it may be taken for granted
that her majesty's phyblclans have
only adopted measures of precaution
and that she Is still ablo to sign any
absolutely imperative documents,
though relieved of the worries of rou
tine affairs.

It Is understood that tho arranga
ments for tho queen's visit to the

quite likely that rest and abstention
from work will enable her to under

Dy Inclusive Wire from Tht Associated Tress.
New York, Jan. IS. U. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trado tomor
row will say:
In most directions tho condition of
general business has Improved slightly
this week. Steadiness Is the chief
characteristic! of tho Iron and steel In
dustrj. Tl.V past week haa brought no
new developments of striking Import
ance, and quotations are unchanged.
There Is a noticeable lack of new con
tracts covering large operations, but
many small orders are placed, and
mills nro well occupied on old business
that In most cases will tnko months to
complete, even If nothing further
offers. On thl3 nccounl there Is no
urgent haste about securing orders,
and no concession aie made by lead
ing concerns. Kxports Inquiries are
rower, out tnanutactureis exhibit no
concent on this point. Work is so vig
orously prosecuted at the furnaces that
demand for fuel Increases and coke
ptoduetlon In the Connellsvlllo region
expands. Coal also moves more freely
at Plttsburft-, delayed shipments being
hurried fonvnrd with tho aid of high
water. There is still some uncertainty
regarding the proposed tube nnd sheet
plant.", and action by th Carnegie
comp.'ui.v Is nwalted with Interest.
Another moderate Inoienso occurred
in sales of wool at the tiuee chief east
ern market?, m'slng the total for Hire?
weeks to 10,3S2100 pounds.
The rot on Industry bus been In less
satisfactory position, owing to depres
sion in the yarn market, which caused
the association lo iccoinmend reduc
tion In the out? lit by one-half. Large
estimates of th" cotton crop also us
t.lsted the decline.
Failures for the wotk were 3:,' In the

was not upon Its passing but upon

They were agtecd to by a vole of 13

The bill has occupied practically tho
entire attention ot tho senate slnco
the third of January, when It was

the opposition to it at nil stages was
vigorous, It never was bitter. Nu
