Captain Sues Is In receipt o cores of applications from surroundln towns from young men who wish to enlist In his company. He la coslderlng tbo idea of organizing a second company and recrult- Irs co.ch to the lull number allowed under the present regulations. The company of fered Its services to the governor when the first indications of trouble appeared. All the members of the local companies that are to go to the front have made In quiries regarding their positions and It Is noted at an Indication , of a general patriotic fcellnz that nearly all of them have been assured of the positions they now hold whenever they return. Some of the big cor porations may oven * rant half pay to their employes while they are in service as gov ernment troops. All was quiet at the headquarters of the Department of the .MUuourl ycdterdiy. All the officers now stationed here were at their posts during the day , but received little In formation of a news nature. During tbe day U was announced that the appointment of Dr. Hooper of the Twenty-second Infantry and now located ot Fort Crook to be chief purgecxi of the Department ot the Missouri bad been officially made and approved. PLAN OF RENDEZVOUS. In speaking ot the call for voluoteara , ono ot the army officers connected with the de partment said to The Bee : "In my opinion Fort Crook would have been a better place ( or mobilizing the state mllltla and the vol unteers than Lincoln. Dut tbe latter was undoubtedly choaen because It was mora centrally located with respect to all parts of the atato. As In the Iat war , points most centrally located will probably be picked out for recruiting the state troops. After the troop3 are mobilized they will bo enlisted In the regular army , and will then be under tbe command of the War department , though each company may kep Its present officers and organization. Under tbo new army bill the three-battalion scheme la adopted , and ach regiment now recruited will be made of three battalions. The companies of thU ftato will form a little over one full regi ment. The odd companies left over after a full regiment la made up will probably be Joined with similar companies from other tatea to make up another full regiment. Just when the state troops will pass Into tbo control o ; the War department we do rot know , CB we have not been advised on the matter , but It will probibly bo about ttio middle of the week , Th'a department will have charge ot provisioning , equipping end transporting the men when they become government troops. We Jo not yet know whether tbo troops of this state will be sent to Washington , Chlckamauga Park , Atlanta or Richmond. We look for orders In this regard on Monday. " role * Are A gathering ot Poles was held at Twenty- flxth and Walnut streets last night for the purpose of organizing a military company of their nationality for service at the front. The situation was explained In a short addrcca by AJitono In da. who said that the time had come K for men ot his race to show that they were made of the same stuff as their Illustrious forefathers who took service under Wash ington. Ho expressed the belief that the I'oleo who had made America their homes would bo < s prompt aa any In Its defense. Fourteen men expressed their willingness to nllst and it is expected that a large number of others will add their names at the meetIng - Ing next Friday night. Frank Madura will undertake to raise a portion ot the company la South Omaha. ' ml Stolen 'Property Recovered.

While A. A. Munro's term as superintend ent of the public Dchools will not expire until June 3Q a number of Instructors have already applied for the position. 'Among ' the applicants most prominently mentioned Is Prof. McClelland , superintendent of the pub lic cchooU at Sioux Falls , S. D. Prof. Me- ClcllanJ spent some days In the city a week or two ago looking the ground over and be fore he left he fllcd an application tor SuperIntendent - IntendentMunro's official shoes. There seems to be a difference ot opinion among the mem ber * of the present Hoard of Education and the members-elect in regard to the election of a superintendent of Instruction. The old board holds that It has the right to nil the vacancy and either enter Into a new con tract with Prof , Munro or cleo elect same one clee to take his place. The members- elect are Inclined to the opinion that as they ainumc the duties of their offices on the ftrtit Monday In July , and Superintendent Munro's contract explrcu on June 30 , they should be allowed the privilege of naming the super intendent. Ono week from tonight Henry uMlchcl wilt take the scat occupied by W. 1) . Check and will servo for one year , while the other memberejelcct at the recent elec tion will not be fiworn In until the first regu lar meeting Ui July. There Is considerable speculation as to the course of the board In relation to the elec tion of teachers this year. According to a rule adopted some tlmo ago all teachers who fall to pat > s a satisfactory examination will be dropped. This rule gave the teachers one year In which to perfect themselves In the. different studies. New Sheep iMnrket. A prominent live stock commkalon man at the yards , who deals largely In sheep , has this to say of a recently established branch of thld trade : "Tho shipment of lambs to Europr from Wyoming ranches opsnrt up anew now market for the products of the trans- mtsaourl country and establishes a trade be- Uecu the Rocky mountains and England which rannot but be productive of proilt to matay classes of people. These lamb , ? were bred and raUed In Wyoming and fattened in Nebraska. They are said to be too fat for the American taste and hence their ship ment to England , where that quality of mut ton Is In 'demand. Most of these lambs la- tended for the export trads are of the Hamp- chlro breed and being ot high grade their great size and weight are ccslly accounted for. A few years ago the mere suggestion that fat lambs would be shipped from Wyoming randies to England would have been ridi culed. This trade Is , however , being de veloped scad U sure to grow. Wyoming and Nebraska sheep men will be greatly benefited by the opening of this now source of de mand and without doubt more attention will now be paid to the raising and fattening of sheep Intended expressly for this export trade. " Order * for Army Snpiillei. All ot tbo packing houses here expect to receive largo orders for their products from the government this week. The call for a larco army ot volunteers will necessitate the purchase of an Immense amount of cured and canned meats and preparations are now foelne made by the packers for expo dltlnj any orders which may be received Additions have been built to the smoke plants at Cudahy's and Swift's recently and these houses , as well as the others , are now prepared to turn out 'great quantities ot t > moked meats 'on short notice. The Cud any Packing company Is the only plan hero handling canned goods and arrange mento are to be anade this week for Increas ing the capacity of this department. The Hammond people handle all of their canned goods orders from the house at Hammond Ind. . so that orders accepted by this com pany for such products will aaot Incrcasi the force at this point.

For strate gic purpcaes anil for the cJotccthn of Information mation that might bo of value to the enemy , Commodore Schley of the flying squidron has Issued a practical censorship over those In his command relative to the divulging of the reason for any movements made or to bo made by the squadron or Individual ships of the squadron. To more fully carry out that plan to protect government Interests only com manding officers are made aware of such movements and the responsibility Is thus minimized. It la for these reasons that the actual destination of the Minneapolis anJ Columbia is merely a matter of newspaper conjecture. The actual mission of the bg ! cruisers Is not and will not bo made pub lie , the Navy department. Commodore Ecbley and the conimcnJcrs of the vcscls : being the sole possessors of Information on the sub ject. ject..The .The conjectures as to the object for which Commodore Schley ordered them to bea last night are many. Protection of the steam ship Paris , assistance to the battleship Oregon gen , capture of Spanish gunboats and coney - oy for the transport Panther , now at Hamp- on Roads , arc some of them. The latter heory Is partially discredited , because the ' 'anther ' with Its human freight of nearly 00 officers and marines lies In safety with he remaining ships of the squadron at " "ort Monroe and Is evidently In no hurry o move. MARINES ARE WELL , . As a matter of fact the Panther Itself us some protection , being pretty well armed with eight rapld-nro guns , which could be sed effectively. All of the 700 men on joard are In excellent condition , no pa- lents occupying the sick bay. The departure of the Columbia end Mlnne- polls last night created a great deal of 'xcltement. ' Prom the time the olgnal waa made on the flagship to the time the Mlntw- ipclls was on Ita way to aea. It wna lepe han one dour and the Columbia followed In few m'inutes. Sunday here passed quietly. The Maryland eaervea , who are to man the Yosemlte ted Dixie , arrived this morning.

The hospital boat Zolace left Newport News for Norfolk , where It will take on medical stores. Tonight the precaution was begun of put- ing out a patrol fleet of steam cutters , fully quipped to fight , and to give warning of an enemy's approach. The work of strengthening the fortlflca- lens at Fort Monroe- continued all day to day , os also did the work of laying mines In 'he harbor.
