PROSPECTIVE MILITARY CHANGES.

1t is said that Secretary Elkins in.
tends to make change in the geo.
graphical limits of some of the mill
tary departments and a probable
shifting around Of some the depart
ment commanders. An official of
the War Department, in conversa-
tion, gave it as his opinion that a
restoration of the system of division
organization is probable. 1t will be
remembered that when Mr.. Proctor
became Secretary of War, he broke
up the division commands. 1t is
said that the abolition of the divls-
ion commands, with the subsequent
arrangement of department COM
mands, has not proved as satisfacto-
ry in its results as some of the
advocates of the plan had hoped.
Under the new arrangement, some
of the junior Brigadier Generals are
in command of larger forces than
the two Major Generals, Howard
and Miles. Secretary Elkins wants
to make a more equal distribution of
the forces, and to give the two Major
Generals larger commands and en-
larged duties.
Gen. Schofeld is known TO be an
advocate of the system of division
organization, and he opposed Secre-
tary Proctor's abolition of it. Gen.
Schofeld holds that division organi-
zation would be necessary in time
of war, and that it would tend to the
efficiency of the service to maintain
it in time of peace. 1t is said that
one or two changes in department
headquarters are contemplated.
The present headquarters of the
Department of Arizona are at Los
Angeles, CAL, but there is rumor
that Secretary Elkins will remove it
to Santa Fe, New Mexico. 1t is now
thought that Gen. Carr, the newly
appointed Brigadier General, will
not go to the Department of the Col
umbia, but may be assigned to the
Department of Arizona.

SONG OF KORAN.

Song of sorrow, sung in Israel,
BY daughter of Gods own,
Sung by Korah near the Kedron
Meath a cedar, there alone.
Up like vapor, up like incense,
From the altar of the soul,
Up among the hosts of heaven
Went her lamentations whole.
o, Great Fatherl o, most ancientl
o, Thou Faithful to the end,
Look upon thy chosen people
Sore in need, behold befriendi
As whirlwind came our troubles,
All our glory's swept away;
Stubbornness destoyed our people,
Scattered shall they be for aye?
Lash of Pharaoh, Law of Moses,
All forgotten good and i'll,
Signs of hope and signs of mercy
Come no more, but heaven is still.
There is silence i'm Thy temple,
There Is darkness in Thy vail
We have followed gods Of silence,
Bowed to golden calves and Baal
Gone the odors, gone the incense,
Lol the cymbals lie in tears;
Gone the priesthood, perishedl perished
Father end the weary years;
Come Almighty, come Dellverer,
Come Most Ancient to our aid,
Shall the glory of Thy promise,
Like the bloom of mOrtals fade?
o remember not our failings
0 remember we are dust,
Dust that blindeth, dust that scatters;
Dust we are, o God be just
Though unworthy are my people,
Though unworthy are the Lords.
o redeem us from our trouble
BY Thy ancient uttered words
Listl an answer from the heavens;
Lol the Prince Of Glory see;
Harkl now speaks the Great Shekina:
"Child of Israel, I'm with the.
I'm the L am first and ever;
my people will restore,
And the glory of my temple
Shall be found to pass no MORE"
Gloryl Gloryl Glory Gloryl
Cease lamenting, now rejoice,

Everlasting is this choice,

Secretary Blaine Not a Candidate
for President.
He Declines to Allow His Same to Go
Before the National Convention
Regard for His Health Ills
Main Reason.
OFT OF TIE RAcE

WASHINGTON, Feb s-Mr. Blaine is
not candidate for the presidency. He
makes this official announcement in
the following letter to Chairman Clark
son of the republican national commit
tee:
"WAsHINcr9S. Feb. 6. 1so2.-Hon J. 5
Garrison. Chairman Of the Republican National
Communications Sir I am not candidate
for The presidency and my name viii not 20 be-
fore the republican national convention for the
nomination. make this announcement IN due
season.
ITO those who have rendered me their sup
port owe sincere thanks and am most grateful
Tor their confidence They VIII, / ana sure,
make earnest effort ia the approaching contest,
which is rendered especially important By
reason Of the industrial and financial policies Of
the government being al stake The popular
decision on these issues is o. great moment and
Will be Of far-r,aching consequences. Very Elm
cerelv yours, JAMES d. BLAINE
That a regard for his health has
something to do with Mr. Blaines de-
cision is not unlikely. At present he is
in excellent health, and his doctors as
sure him that he has no chronic trouble
to fear But he is not willing to I'M
dergo all the fahgues and excitement
of presidential campaign when he
finds it necessary now To husband his
strength 1t is also said that it is the
wish of Mrs. Blaine and the secre-
tary's family that he refrain from
renewal of the strain which was SO
great In 1884 1t is true that the old
malignant fight could not be fought
over again, but the strain would be
none the less Since he became secre-
tary of state Mr. Blaine has cared less
and less for the powers Of the presiden-
tial Office with its infinite cares in the
way of patronage
If the Office could be entirely disas-
ISOLATED from thi4 and given over to
public policy he might think more Of
it, but it has been an admitted relief
for him in fulfilling the duties of secre-
tary of state to be able to give his time
to the great questions with which that
department has to deal Some time ago
in talking to friend he discussed the
situation freely, saying in substance:
y don't suppose any man who has once
sought the office Gun truthfully say he doesn't
care for H. / confess l would like TO be presi
dent, but I VIII never risk my health and life in
seeking IT, The office OF secretary OF state is
broad enough field for me during the rest o. my
uuhife career

Frightful Deeds OF Chinese Rebels and
Their Terrible Punishment.
SAN Francisco, Feb 5-A Shanghai
correspondent gives details of ter
rible atrocity committed by Chinese
rebels on the border of Manchuria and
of equally terrible punishment in
flicted by government troops upon the
captured rebels. These rebels were
led by several Buddhist priests,
and they were especially savage
against native Christians. At one
place they burned sixty children and
butchered nine Chinese nuns. At an
other they cremated sixty men whom
they imprisoned in a barn. Their ex-
petitions were solely for plumber and
without political purpose Viceroy Ii
sent a large army against them and
their strength was broken. Hundreds of
prisoners were taken
The punishment melted out to the
rebels 10y their conquerors was most
revolving and the executions were con
Quoted on wholesale scale. Men
We're beheaded by hundreds, and entire
trunks of trees were utilized as blocks
along which prisoners were ranged in
lines and their executioners simply

thousands all about us who are suffering
from scrofula, salt rheum and other ser
ious blood disorders. and whose aeonies
can only be imagined The marked
success of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles, as shown in our advertising
columns frequently, certainly seems to
justify urging the use of this excellent
medicine for all who know that their
blood is disordered. Every claim in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla is fully back.
