FILLING The RANK y.

A Washington dispatch says "that in
view of the urgent demand for troops
for service on the plains. orders have
been issued to the several recruiting Of
fees to hasten enlistments in order to
bring up the numerical force of the
army to 25, 900 men" This dispatch
partially explains the situation. The
maximum limit of the army, according
to law, is Is, 900 men. This number is
made the basis for the Secretary of
Wars estimates, and the appropriations
made by Congress are for rs, 900 men.
Pending the debates on the army bill
in the last session of Congress, the
General of the Army, W. L. Sherman.
was called upon to furnish tabulated
report showing the actual number of
troops 10 the service, and where they
were stationed. That report showed
that there were only Is, 25U men ia the
army, andthat four fifths of them were
stationed near barge cities IN the East
ern States, where they are as useless as
the fifth wheel to a wagon. while the
frontier. with the. exception of the
Mexican border, was left unprotected.
Notwithstanding these facts, certain
journals on this coast, intent only on
making political capital, have, since
the Bannock outbreak, falsely at
tributed the unprotected condition of
the frontier to democratic economy
and hatred of the army" and openly
charged that the army had been re-
duced to mere skeleton by Demo
cratic Congress. The Washington dis
patch explodes these falsehoods. aud
taken ia connection with General Sher
mans statement to Congress. shows
shat the army is large enough for all
practical purposes, and that if ii Is re-
eruited up to the limits, four or five
thousand troops can be stationed in the
Pscifc States and Territories where
they are at present most needed to pro-
beet the settlers from Indians driven on
sbs war path by rascally Agents. who
cheat and swindle them out of what the
Government appropriates for their sup.
port.

totally destroyed by fire this morning.
The officers. crew and passengers bare
ly escaped with their lives.
A strong westerly gale vas blowing at
the time, and before the fire engines
and tugs could reach the scene the ele
vator was on fire. and the gale drove
the flames through the building, whe.e
were stored | 900 barrels of oil. bagging
and other inf ,mable articles. which
caused such terrific heat as to speed
lily drive back the firemen.
Uaptain Crane thinks the fire was
the work of an incendiary. The total
loss will exceed $500, 900, the greater
portion of which falls on the Anchor
Line Company of ST. Louis. AS the
books and papers of the elevator are
lost, it is impossible to obtain reliable
list of either losses or insurance.

LONDON, July 2.
With yesterdays session of the Con-
gress the problems presented by the
Reorganization of Turkey in Europe
have been solved, with the difficult ex
ception of the border provinces of
Greece. The scheme proposed is to
offer to Greece the same rights of su
pervision and control over West Rou
melia--that is, Thessaly, Macedonia
and Epirus -as Austria will be intrust-
ed with in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
and possibly In Northern Albania. By
thus extending the influence of neigh
boring States over adjacent provinces.
Congress might remove the cause of
future war.

WOMAN NTFFHaGE.

Great preparations have been made Tor
the woman suffrage Representation TO be
held al Washington to-day, but owing to
the refusal OF the Senate Committee to al
low the convention the use Of the Senate
Chamber, the convention will not be as i'm
posing as its promoters had hoped to make
it. 1t was the desire Of those interested to
have public hearing before the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, and to use the
Senate Chamber for that purpose; but the
effort failing, the hearing will probably
take place in the large committee room. Il
is now reported that only about thirty oil
forty leading representatives OF the women
suffrage movement outside Of the District
with a number OF local representatives, vii
take part in the proceedings.

should be employed in the public schools Of

vocal music. We made no comment upon
the resolution at the time, because we sup
posed it was a joke, or harmless bit OF
sarcasm. But from the proceedings of the
meeting of the Board last Monday, We learn
that the musical resolution was no joke
that il was introduced in all seriousness,
and seriously discussed. Some of our read
ers may doubt this, because all the men,

good practical sense. But IFS so, never

The Russian press is becoming less bel

ton of the St. Petersburg journal that the
terms of peace can be discussed only be-

modified by the further statement that Rus
