VoLSELEY ON THE RAMPAGE.

Lord Wolseey, the only General England is
supposed 70 have in reserve for great cam
paign, Is an outspoken advocate oil universal
military service In an article in 1.-The Fort
nightly Review" he refers TO this system as q
precious legacy bequeathed by the first French
Revolution TO Europe aud then proceeds TO
enlarge upon the benefits which are conferred
upon the nations Of the Continent by standing
armies and general CONSUMPTION lie takes the
German army az the highest existing type OF
the modern system Of military organization, 1of
which the changes effected in the wars of the
French Revolution opened and prepared the
way (; and he expresses profound admiration Tor
il as o soldier and still more as citizen
Great as il is for war; he exclaims, 1t IL
infinitely greater aS a national school for the
moral, mental and physical training Of the peo-
ple.D The German army, in his Judgment Is
a national blessing. 1t supplies perfect syS-
TEN Of physical training for men, promotes
habits of cleanliness, order and obedience ana
affords moral education that could with dIth-
Guilty be furnished in any other way IL Fa'hes
all those virtues which serve TO make men good
subjects and law-abidng citizens. IL Is alike
the strongest bulwark against communism and
the greatest Of peace institutions. UnlVerSai
military service in Lord WolselCy's judgment
Is not only the direct outcome Of the Revolution
Of 1899, but its most valuable result
Epplishmen will be startled TO learn that in
stead Of setting Europe a good example by
obstinately rctrainiug from participating in the
military movement Of the last thirty years they
have neglected 70 make Use OF one OF the grand
est opportunities Of modern civilization. They
have set their faces Sternly against the pohcy
Of maintaining large standing armies and com
pelling every man physically ut for service 70
spend several years in barracks and with the
reserves. Their greatest soldier tells them
plainly that they are d"prvinR the English
pcoplc Of the Incompatible advantages OF phySl'
cal and mora trsining in tho best school oi
citizenship; that German civilization Is vastly
,,rarior 10 their own aud that one OF these
wears they will have to learn under the pressure

century.

How often misfortuncS turn out blessings in

view, the tires ia Chicago and Boston have Prov
advantages 20 those cities. since good buililnGs
have taken the place Of poorer ones, md general
appearance and convenience have been promoted.
The same IS EIcIy TO be the case with Seattle. The
fire there is now pronounced far less disastrous
than was ~ first reported. and the property loss Is
estimated at not more than $4,000, 600. The resi-
icnce portion OF the city is unnturc, and the loss
In the main falls upon wealthy men. While some
fine buildings wrrc burned, there were many

New YORK, Jan. II Except for pc
Rod of moderate activity in the forenoon
the bacon market to-day was equally as
duh and uninteresting as that of yester-
day. The progress made by railroad
presidents and bankers in their task of
restoring their property to a dividend
paying basis did not meet with any re-
Spouse from spectators OF the street and
the market still waited for pronounced
purely professional. This inaction in face
of the general expectation that the action
of the presidents would result in a marked
improvement on the values of securities
caused much disappointment on the
street a1ad had it not been for liberal
foreign purchases, weak market would
probably have succeeded. The entire ae-
tive list is higher this evening.
On the whole dealings in railroad bonds
exhibited more features than those in
shares, although the business done fell
short of the totals of the previous days.
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe bonds re-
sumed their advances and tonight are
up 70 the figures prevailing before the
late scare.
Government bonds duh and firm
State bonds dull AMI rather heavy.
