FIRE COMMISSIONERS.


They VIM Await Councils action - to
appointments.
The board of tire commissioners last even
ing took up the work of the reorganization
of the department where they left of on
Monday night. In accordance with Q re-
quest made at that time Chief Kellogg re-
ported concerning the length of residence
in Seattle of the members OF the depart
ment. So far as be could discover every
man had been resident at least a year
The chief submitted an incomplete set of
rules and regulations for the government
of the department They are modelled
after those of the st. Paul department.
which is one of the most efficient in the
United States. In them the duties and
line of conduct of every grade and rank in
the service is explicitly laid down. Further
time was allowed Chief kellogg for their
completion. all of the commissioners con-
stituting a committee in the meantime TO
look over and revise the different sections.
The mayor appointed the board q COM
mittee with full power to act in the appoint
ment of an examining physician.

render an opinion as TO their right to do
So He thought the safer plan would be TO
wait until special authority had been dele
gated by the board of aldermen. as the
city charter was not explicit on this point.
Accordingly the idea was abandoned. and
the board took up something indispntably
within its province. Chief kellogg stated
that the United States marine law REQUIRES
every steam vessel on the sea to have four
licensed officers, viz, captain, pilot and two
engineers.
These four positions were adopted as the
boats officers. and their salaries fixed as
follows: Captain. $l.500; first engineer.
81 500; second engineer. 81 300: pilot. 81 200:
firemen in charge OF boats engines. $50 a

DEMAND FOR MILITIA CAVALRY.
Ordnance Department Urges the F0rma-
ton OF a Troop In Each state.

Ordnancs Department Urges the Forma-
tion Of Troop In Zach State.
WAsHINGToN CITY. Nov. 90 Especial. i
Captain Taylor, of the ordnance depart
ment, in charge of supplies to militia, in
his annual report strongly urges the pass
age of the pending bill to promote the Ell
cheney of the militia. He calls attention to
the disparity in number between the cav
airy and infantry militia. He says that
the cavalry is the most needfui of inl-
provements aud that some steps should be
taken to encourage the formation and to
foster existing cavalry organizations in
militia. He recommends that congress
make an appropriation for the placing in
each state which has more than 5000 or
ganized militia. where stables and forage
are provided At the expense of the state, of
q sufficient number of horses. not to ex-
coed seventy-tive for each sta Q. to mount
q troop of cavalry, with detachment of
regular cavalry soldiers to care for them
and non-commissioned officers as instruct
ors.
Captain Taylor speaks Of tho necessity Of
q reserve of horses in our service. He also
touches upon the feasibility of q horse
census and legislation TO prevent the coun-
try being depleted of animals. which will
be urgently needed in event of war. At
present there is nothing to prevent foreign
agents getting AL our available animals,
and large numbers have been shipped out
OF the country. The difficulty Of obtaining
suitable cavalry horses has alarmingly in
creased during the past fifteen years.
Captain Taylor also urges the passage Of
. bill authorizing the issue to each state Of
field guns to encourage the formation Of ar
tiIlery companies.

The postmaster-g.neral, in his annual re-
port, gives figures from Washington. Idaho
and Wyoming. To illustrate the rapid en-
largement of the mail service in the West
in fifteen months, he says ia 97S miles of
service were added in Washington. Four
years ago the service was not SO large by
1000 COO miles. This is . growth unprece-
dented in any part of the country. In
Wyoming in fifteen months there was
added $4,000 miles. and in Idaho in the
same period 10000 miles. In the star
service, as shown by the annual letting of
the contracts for the section between
Arkansas and the Pacihc coast. there was
an increase of 1.767, S2l miles travelled,
while the cost was decreased under the
new contracts by $2l3 674 The Western
