WAR DEPARTMENT.,
Secretary Lamont Wants

Secretary Lamont Wants "A Larger Army.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-The annual
report of Secretary Lamont shows 4
saving Of half million dollars in sal
aries and contingent expenses in the
administration of the War department
at Washington, besides economies in
the recruiting service, rents, etc. EX-
penditures for the last fiscal year were
$5G,O39,009, appropriations for the cur
rent year are $52, ,429, ,112, estimates for
the next year are S52,31S,G29
Secretary Lamont earnestly reconl-
mends legislation to establish the bat
TALON formation now adopted by the
armies of every other civilized nation.
To effect that change he recommends a
return to the law. of 1870, fixing at 30
600 the limit Of the army. By the
changes proposed the army will be
increased 20 per cent. in efficiency, six
teen and one-half in numbers and only
6 per cent. in cost Of maintenance. The
actual combative strength will thus
become about 25,OOO. The number now
contemplated by law, but which is re-
duced by detachments and otherwise.
is about 10000. 1t is proposed to add
two companies to each of the twenty
five infantry regiments and two batter
les to each of the five artillery regi-
ments. No increase in cavalry is pro-
posed.
The cost of the increased number Of
enlisted men would be $1,20O,OOO an
nually, but retrenchment has reduced
administration expenses of the War
department at Washington $5OO,O0D,
and by applying these economics to
benefit the army efficient organization
and greater strength can be obtained
at an increase Of only 100000. 1t is
proposed to meet the necessary in
crease in line officers by reductions in
the staff, and to this end consOl!-
dation of the quartermaster, pay and
subsistence departments in one bureau
of supply, is recommended.
The three recruiting depots have been
abolished, adding 1900 men to the eff
fective strength and reducing expendi-
mental recruiting, which involve little
or no expense, and bring recruits imme-
diately into the commands with which
they are to serve, will be extended.
The character of recruits is improved
and last year only 1877 out of 1851
applicants We're accepted. All recruits
must now write the English language
and must be citizens of the United
States or have declared their inten-
tions.
OF 2,71O men discharged by expira-
ton of service, 2,079 re-enlsted. De
sertions show large decrease. The re-
peal of the law requiring percentage
of the pay of enlisted men to be re-
tanned until honorably discharged Is
recommended.
Seven regiments have been armed
with the new magazine rifle, and by
May /, the infantry will be completely
equipped with the new arm.

Japan Buys the Esmeralda.

New York, Dec. Japan has aug
mented her navy by the purchase of
the crack Gillian cruiser Esmeralda.
The deal was consummated here with
in the last few days, and was managed
with great adroitneSs. Chill first sell
ing the ship to Ecuador and the latter
country transferring her to Japan.
To further disguise the facts, n re-
port was given currency that China
had bought the ship. This was to
avert suspicion until the cruiser was
well out of danger OF being appre-
hended on the high seas. She is now
on her way to Japan, by way of Ia
hita. The purchase price was over
81 100000 In gold cash. The sale by
Chill violates no neutrality law,as Chill
has no t1aty with China or Japan, and
moreover her sale was to Ecuador,
who Is also without a treaty with eth
er of the belligerents.

William L. Douglas the president Of tho
word-famed W. l.. Douglas Shoe Co., has
always had great personal interest in the
army OF men and women VINO inhabit the great
factory at Montello during the working hours
OF the day, and who make the greatly adver-
tiSed s. shoe.
He is a great believer in the idea that manu-
facturers should have this personal interest in
the condition of their employees, aud feels that
il the idea Is carried out to the extent that Is
possible. that II will result ultimately in the
breaking down Of the barriers which have been

ingmen that their employers were not their
enemies, as some OF them seem to think now.
but their friends with u desire to do all for
them that was in their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, II Is
only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give the
matter some study and acquaint himself with
the result OF the trials OF similar plans in other
places. He is satisfied that the scheme he mas
originated is q good one, and he has now put II
to practical test.
He has handed to every person in his employ

The plan is good one.
Speaking Of the W. L. Douglas Shoe CO. It
may be said that their factory Is the only one
in Brockton where the principle of arbitration
is recognized and has full sway. Mr.. Douglas
is q firm believer in the principle and has been
since the establishment of the state board of
arbitration. He claims that labor troubles
would not be as frequent as they are If manu-
facturers and help would recognize this great
prfhcipe and adopt It,

London, Dec. 2.-The correspondent

cited by finding the mutilated remains

saw no resistance in the town during
the next four days.
The foreign minister expressed him
self as intensely surprised and grieved.
Hitherto, he added, the Japanese army
had been admired for its humanity and
discipline. He was unwilling to be-
lieve 1t possible that they had acted as
reported, or to express an opinion on
the subject until n detailed official re-
port arrived. Meanwhile he authorized
me to say tlrat he was certain the gov
ernment was sincerely determined to
act on principles of humanity and civ
ilization and was firmly resolved to
maintain the honor Of Japan and re.

the government desires neither to con-
ceal the truth nor to permit ISLANDERS.
A Chez Fee dispatch to the Times
says it is reported that the Japanese
fleet is desirous of taking a more proIn-
inent part in the war. The fleet was
seen off Wei Hal Wei, but has now dis
appeared. Wei Hai Wei Is strongly
defended. The Chinese fleet is still
inside the harbor. ReinfOrcements are
being poured in from the land side.
General Chang is in command. He is
a brave and competent officer and IS
assisted by several foreigners. The
Chinese people fear that If peace is
made the disbanded troops will com

COLLAPSE OF DOCK.


Serious Catastrophe at Tacoma, washing
ton.
Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 20:-Several
hundred feet of Tacoma's ocean docks
plunged into the bay at II o'clock last
night. Half bOzen steamers were
tossed about like chips, and two were
disabled.
II. II. Alger's boathouse, containing
himself, wife and six children. was
turned upside down, spilling the chil-
dren out of their hunks into the Icy
water, and one of the girls was
drowned. John Hansen, watchman
at the Northern Pacific hydraulic
pump, went down in the debris and
cannot be found. He was roasted to
death or drowned, in the opinion Of the
steamboat men.
All the cattle pens Of the Northern
Pacific, together with the office and
that company's 400-foot freight house,
went down together, and fire ut
once broke out where the pump station
disappeared in the debris.
Nearly all of the dock which fell into
the bay is that portion Of the water
front which the city OF Tacoma has
been trying to secure from the rail-
roads and Tacoma Land Company.
Steamboat men claim a tidal wave
twenty-five feet high rushed up the
sound and tore the dock away. EN-
ployes at the wharf believe that there
has been n great subterranean land
slide, and that a great fissure or hole
has been formed in the bay, allowing
the docks to be swallowed.
Investigation proves conclusively that
last nights great landslide was caused
by neither tidal wave nor earthquake.
Puget sound has very steep shores.
Just outside the Northern Pacific docks
the bank slopes into deep water at an
angle of As degrees. Fifty feet from
the dock the water is $50 to 200 feet
deep. At n great expense the railroad
company has put in solid docks of made
land, supported on the water side by n
rock wall, built against piling driven
into the mud. This was not strong
enough to bear the immense pressure
and when the high bank further up
had been made slippery and loose by
recent rains. the outer edge of the
dock began to slide and finally gave
way, precipitating into deep water one

PRESIDENT ANDREWS, OF Brown uni
versity, declares that the recent czar
was the wickedest man alive. This is
unreason. He acted according to his
lights, which were dim. He was
taught that his highest duty was to
preserve the autocratic power of the
throne, and he was rendered incapable
by his training, and also by inherited
defects, OF recognizing his duty to his
people, which is plain to all who have
lived in the atmosphere of modern civ
tlization and who are unprejudiced by
personal interests. The crime, the
great wickedness which President
Andrews charges against the czar, be-
longs to organized society.

In answer to the arguments which
humane societies are constantly urging
against vivisection, which is in the in
terest of science, the editor of the
New York Medical Record says:
There are said to be over 100. 900 men
and boys in this country who go out
with guns. They mutilate and half
kill birds, they main the rabbits, deer
and other animals, subjecting them to
exquisite pains before they die; they
chase deer into the water and murder
them in their helplessness, they ride
after frightened foxes and drive them
to death of agonizing exhaustion; they
hook up fish by the sensitive mucous
membrane of the mouth and tear
them from their wounds.
