AR MY REX UL ATION S
They as Well as the Tactics Are to Be
Revised.
Result of a Conference That Wa
Held :: 18th the Secretary of War
Last Week.

The recent visit to this city of Brig.
Gen. Ruger, commanding the Dspa1 tment
OF the Missouri, and Brig. Gen. Otis, COM
handing the Department of the Columbia,
is likely to result in important changes
in the matter of army regulations and
tactics. These officers held long confer
ences with Secretary Lamont in regard to
certain improvements in the service, and
the result was that Gen. Otis was instruct
ed to make a thorough revision of the
army regulation recently prepared by
board of officers in the adjutant generals
department, AMI Gen. Ruger was entrusted
with the special work Ct revising infantry
drill regulations on a plane similar to the
recent revision of the light artillery drill
regulations.
by the drill regulations are so ex-
tensive that considerable time is necessary
to their consideration before putting them
into practical operation. The tactics have
undergone many changes in recent years.
Hardees superseded SCOTS and had run
of about six years. when they were sue
ceeded by Casey's tactics, which ran about
the same period and were then superseded
by Upton's tactics. The latter system re-
manned in operation about four times as
long either of its predecessors, but it
too finally gave way to the present system.
The latter is under course of revision, but
it will probably be some time before the
work is completed and ready to be put into
actual service. Increased simplicity and
mobility are the prime objects of the new
system. Whatever in the old tactics could
be dispensed with altogether or performed
with greater rapidity and ease has been
made the subject of improvement. For
example, no hesitation was felt in abolish
ing the old Support arms or in making
a single movement from "order arms to
right shoulder arms" In marching, the
rapid right and left turn has been sub
n
columns Of files or of fours. The double
column and movement by divisions and the
wings of battalons have been stricken out
altogether. The unit of organization has
become the squad of four files, under their
corporal. and this squad is the basis of the
system of extended order, which has be
come the appliance for sdrmishing. Gen
that greater rapidity and freedom from
formality which modern warfare seems to
demand in military operations.

Not Entitled to Mileage.

The accounting officers of the treasury
have Gisallowed the claim Of Col. Com
stock and Lieut.. linn of the engineer corps
for mileage for that portion of a recent
trim ON public business made on a govern
ment vessel Army officers travelling under
orders are allowed cents mile for the
distance covered, but they are always re-
uured to take the shortest route. The
two officers named recently made long
trip under orders, .144 miles of which was
on a vessel belonging to the government.
There IS an old law the wording of which
is somewhat ambiguous and led the officers
to believe they were entitled to mileage TOR
this portion of the trip. which was per-
formed without expense to them, as we'll
as for the other portion of the trip, Tor
which they had to pay. The accounting
officers decided that mileage was not
proper charge against the government uh-
der the circumstanc of this case.

JUDGE RUCHWALTER CONTRADICT
ED.
Gov. Brown of Kentucky Declares His
Statements Inadequate.

Gov Brown of Kentucky issued state
ment last night on the refusal of Judge
Buohwalter of Cincinnati to surrender
Hampton, the colored preacher held. on
presentation of requisition. saying after
the reuuisition was issued on Gov. Mckin-
ley he should have seen it executed.
THE statements of the judge are grossly
inadequate. His argument is a mere sub
terfuge and bubble. He has usurped the
prerogatives of the governor of his state
He has deliberately refused to execute tn
plain command of law of the United
States and subordinated it to his own
caprice He has reproached Kentucky for
crime of which his own great state is not
guiItleSs. He has accepted the statements
of fugitive from justice that he feared
unlawful revenge il remanded as a sufii-
cient reason for his discharge. The statutes
in Ohio, in so far they may prescribe
methods and conditions supplementary TO
and inconsistent with the United States
law or the subject of eXtradiuon must be
admitted to be void. This proposition no
one will dispute. No lawyer will claim
that Judge Buchwalter's decision is sus-
tanned by any precedent in the country. IL
it shall have effect it will be fruitful as a
discord where harmony and good VIII
should prevail. If followed by the judiciary
of Ohio it will make that state the refuge
and paradise of all the murderers. thieves
and rapists of the south. The invitation
and assurance of welcome and protection
to criminals are given by the proclamation
of Judge Buchwalter."

be few.

been collected on inStallment stock. From
that SIS, SO are to be deducted, leaving
a balance in stock of SlIo I61 So; amount of
Withdrawals paid, $S5.5s373, making the

class of stock at sS4577.oI: collected on
paid up stock, Si.13l.91: withdrawals paid.

CRISIS FOR IRELAND.
MIR. Gladstone Points Out the Neces-
sity for Harmony Among Leaders.

A special cable dispatch to the New York
World from London says:
The division between the Mccarthy and
| the Healy wing of the nationalist party, to
| which l referred in my cable dispatch of
| last Saturday, has reached such a sudden
and bitter climax that Justin Mccarthy he s
| written letter to the effect that unless
| Ireland Enthusiastically regulates Healy's
| fresh revolt it will be useless, if not I'M
| possible, for him (NIcCarthy) to continue
| in the leadership.
In fact, the crisis is considered so serious
| that Mr.. Gladstone himself has felt i'm
| PEELED to express himself decidedly upon it
and to ask the Intervention of some Amer
lean citizen to heal the breach.
| In conversation with T. p. O'Connor, NJ.
p, this evening, after the presentation to
Mr. Gladstone of address from the
Friendly Sons Of st. Patrick of America,
the veteran statesman, with earnest elo-
quence, impressed upon Mr. OConnor his
view of the vital necessity of unity among
the Irish natonalists if home rule is to be
attained in the near future.
My interest in Ireland and her cause,
he said, will continue undated as long as
life remains to me, and if l were entitled
to advise Irishmen l should counsel unity
among all Irish natiOnalists as the first eS-
sential of success. DiScord must neceS-
sarily mean the adjournment of the claims
of Ireland, and no more sacred duty could
fall to any man than that of bringing about
harmonious relations between all the Irish
nationalist in the work of recovering her
legislative rights. Those who promote dis
cord assume a terrible responsibility be-
fore their country.
rs there not any 1rsh-American or any
American in that country where friendship
for Ireland is universal. who could act as
an Intermediary in bringing about concord
between the Irish natonalistS?
Mr.. O'Connor replied that DIR. Adds Fin
met probably the most highly respected
Irshman in America. had come over speci-
ally to Intervene. and had warmly Endorsed
the action Of the majority of the party as
opposed to the factious course of the NAL
contents; but still Ireland is threatened
with a fresh attack upon majority rule as
represented by Mr. McCarthys following.

said Secretary Morton. commenting on this

little heed to the warnings printed on the

in some way called to them by editorial
notices in the papers, or otherwise. 1t is
quite impossible for the bureau to italicize
its forecasts and warnings whenever these
