ENGLAND's MILITARY STRENGTH.
Greater in Paper Then Reality.

An important institution in the Eng
fish army army which has no analogy in
the United States though its relation
has been urged upon Congress by our
military authorities is the reserve. Be-
tween II, 900 and IS, 900 men are yearly
transferred form the army to the army
reserves.
The military Of Great Britain is on
stitutional force raised by authority of
Parliament for the purpose of augment
ing the military strength of the country.
1t is subject to call from the sovereign
in case of invasion or rebellion. 1t may
also lie sent out of the country if it vol
be obtained It has virtually ceased to
exist as distinct body, and is part OF
the regular force with limitation as to
the time and area and other conditions
Of service.
Organized by counties and cities, it is
essentially a local force. Of late years
the men have been raised solely by volun-
tary enlistment, but where a sufficient
number for any county or place is not
thus raised the deficiency may be sup
piled by ballet upon all the inhabitants
of the locality between the ages of Is
and 80. Each man is enlisted as a
militiaman for the county to serve in
the territorial regiment or corps of the
district. The period of engagement is
six years, with the option of six years re-
enlistment.
The militia is regularly assem- bled for
annual training of not more than IS days
duration. At other periods IFS members
have simply the legal status of civilians
The British volunteers more closely
than the militia approximate to the State
militia of America Since their estab-
lishment in 1859 they have pretty much
usurped the former position of the militia
as the special force for home defense.
The organization is not only useful in
training a number of men Of otherwise
peaceful yocations in the arts of war, and
thus forming ali immediate army of
about quarter of million for current
emergencies, but in establishing among
those who have finished the five years Of
service required civilian reserve of citi-
zens, numbering nearly million and a
quarter. who, should the occasion ever
arise, can be more quickly trained than
raw recruits for the country's defense.
The yeomanry are valuable force, in
So far as they represent some 100 600 men,
with horses accustomed to act together
and in SO lar as they supply cavalry for
mounting purposes of which the large in
fantry force which England can now
command for home defense stands sorely
il need Their organizat on however
is rudimentary and defective.
To sum up the total British contingent
as it appears on paper is approximate y
as follows:

CURRENT OMMENT.
MR.. REED AND VERMONT REPUB
IICANS.
burlington Free Press. J

If the Republicans of Vermont could be
permitted to name the man from among
the leading candidates for the nomination
for President, there can be little or no
doubt that they would name Thomas B.
Reed of Maine. They know his large
ability. They recognize his distinguished
services to the country and his party.
They trust his honesty and his fidelity
to Republican principles, and they would
be proud to see New England man at
the head of the government, after forty
years during which the Presidency has
gone to men from other sections Of the
country. If any New England man can
be nominated, Mr.. Reed is the man, and
ton would follow the nomination.

liant legislation will be permitted to go

publican caucus was Overwhelmingly in
favor of reporting and passing the tariff
bill as it came from the House, but Teller
and his silver associates do not intend to
be bound by the caucus OF course If
they stick to their determination to put
in another bill the House bill will fail,
and SO will every other measure for tariff
revision or for increasing the revenue. Ii
would simplify matters if these senators
would follow the example Of Senator
Jones and announce themselves Popu-

would not then be upon the Republican

England is Fastening naval preparations

FRED HEALY NOT IN IT.

Judge Hunt of San Francisco Annuls
His Marriage With Mss Carpenter.
Judge Hunt yesterday annulled the
marriage contract between Frederick
A Healy, son of Captain Healy, late of
the revenue service, and Lucretia May
Carpenter, says the S. F. Call of June
18th. So ends romance that began
in the wine-cup and ended in a divorce
court.
Young Healy was a few months ago
studying law in the office of Henley &
Costello. He one day received letter
from a couple of Chicago friends who
were about to visit San Francisco, and
secured a leave of absence for a few
days in order to show the strangers
about the city. Healy is a convivial
chap, for it was testified yesterday that
all were more or less intoxicated dur
ing the stay of the Chicagoans.
On Friday evening, March 9th, of
this year HeaIy became acquainted
with Lucretia Carpenter.
Healy was intoxicated and soon pro-
posed that Miss Carpenter accompany
him on the rounds of the town. She
consented, and the two left in a car
riage.
Nothing more was seen of them until
early next morning, when they an
nounced that they had been married.
They had in some manner secured a
marriage license and were joined in
wedlock at about IL O'Clock.
Healy became repentant as soon as
he became sober, and at once left his
bride and sought the advice of his
friend, Barclay Henley. He told Hem
ley the story and expressed a desire
TO be sent on sea voyage.
Henley secured passage for Healy on
a barkentine bound for Hawaii and
then brought suit for the annulment
of the marriage. The wife made no
objection, so Judge Hunt, after hearing
the testimony of several witnesses, an
nulled the marriage.
It is said that Lucretia Carpenter is
now in Honolulu or on her way there
to see Healy.

EXECUTION OF KAUMANU
The Hawaiian Monster Hanged for the
Murder of Old Mrs. Robinson.
One of the Most AtrociOus Crimes I'm
CaliforuIa's HIstory-A Neat
Job at Folsom.

FOLSOM, Cal, June 19.-Paulo Kau-
manu- was hanged at the State prison
this morning. Kaumanu was the Kan
aka who murdered an old woman at
Latrobe, Ell Dorado county, kicking her
to death and robbing her house.
The Hawaiian murderer passed the
night quietly, giving no indication that
his impending fate disturbed his sleep.
He was served with a good breakfast
in his cell and ate fried chicken and
other things. He was then visited by
Father Hunt of FL Dorado county and
confessed to him. He then announced
himself ready for execution.
At twenty minutes past ten he was
conducted from his cell to the trap.
He was calm and seemingly Indifferent.
The cap, moose and straps were adjust
ed within thirty seconds and the trap
was sprung He said nothing on the
trap, and hardly moved a muscle after
being dropped.
About thirty spectators were present,
among whom were Sheriff Hilbert Of
FL OOTdQO anu several ITIeuuS VI IUS
murdered woman.
Several weeks ago Governor Budd
was appealed to by representatives of
the Hawaiian Government to exercise
clemency in the case of the condemned
man, but after an investigation into the
facts of the case he failed to discover
any mitigating circumstances and re-
fused to interfere.
The crime for which Paulo Kaumanu
died was of peculiar atsieity. Mrs. Ell
len Robinson, the woman whom he
brutally murdered two years ago, was
old and feeble and wholly unable to
make any effective resistance. He fell
ed her to the ground and then kicked
her until she was in dying condition.
after which he plundered the house and
made his escape. He has never shown
any remorse for his deed, his whole
behavior since conviction being mark
ed by stolid Indifference, which he
maintained to tie last.

engaged in business as lobster pack

addition has a fine farm. During the

so much has been said through the
press, a reporter interviewed him in
the matter, and was cbeerfully given
his story for publication. Mr. Tucker
said:
about four years ago had a severe
attack of influenza, which left me in a
fearful condition. I had for number
of years before this attack been suf-
ferer from dyspepsia, but following
the influenza it took a more acute
