That He be Reinstated.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 11.-Samuel II.
Walker, late Major and Superintendent Of
Police, has written long letter TO the
District Commissioners, asking that he
be reinstated. In one of the opening par
aZraphs he says: cit is seli-evident
proposition that no man can fearlessly
execute the law and give peace and Sc
curlty to the community who is himself
besmlrched with crime or who has any
animation with those GLASSES who are di-
recty subjects of the watchful care
Of the police department" He then
goes on to say that his administration of
Inc department. was without fear and
without reproach, but Notwithstanding

entire confidence i'll him, asked his resig-
nation on Nov. "a, without previous no.

EUROPE'S ARMIES.

Gen. Won SchelIendorf Turns At
tention to France and Russia.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-THE meetings of the
Septennate Commission, though nomi-
nally secret, have been open to all men,
bers of the Reichstag, over 100 of whom
have been present each day. Only re-
porters have been denied admission thus
far.
Gen. Won Schellendorf, the Prussian
Minister of War, appears to be possessed
OF no Information worth concealing. In
giving a detailed comparison OF the
strength of European armies he said
that the distribution of the Russian,
French, German snd Austrian troops
along their respective frontiers showed
the necessity OF Immediately strengthen
ing the border garriBons of Germany. He
doubted both the offensive and defensive
power OF Austria If she attacked Russia
without allies. He earnestly insisted
upon secrecy regarding strategic mans
showing routes in Eastern Germany
toward Russia, and routes in Western
Germany toward France, and the whole
tenor OF his remarks indicated that the
government Is preparing for a hostile
coalition against France and Russia. His
prolonged favorable criticisms on the
effective condition OF the French army
are becoming the subject of occasional
comments among the members OF
the commission. Gen. Won SchellendOrf
said that if any one should
be surprised that he spoke less about the
Russian than the French army, his ex-
PLANTATION was that he did so because,
from a military point of view, the latter
offered more serious cause for apprehen-
sion, owing to the completeness of the
system adopted by the French govern
ment for modifying Its troops and it's
combined facilities for concentrating them
in the interior.
