THE REVIVED HARRISON BOOM

INDIANA Men ia Congress Say Thev
Are Not Responsible for 1t.
Indications are that the Indiana men in
Congress have received warning not to he
led into committing themselves to a re-
vival OF the Harrison BOOM Before Gen.
Harrison wrote his letter declining to be a
candidate, the entire delegation from In
diana. with the exception of johnson, were
enthusiastic Harrison men, and expressed
the opinion that he would surely be nomi-
mated. They were reluctant to give him
up as a candidate, and a few of them for
a day or two insisted upon regarding the
declination as not final Their minds were
relieved from any possible doubt on the
subject by the assurance that no friend of
Gen. Harrison could doubt his sincerity.
Every time Gen. Harrison's name has been
mentioned since 1t has met with a response
in the hearts of the Indiana delegation,
and the recent talk Of him had evidently
begun to inspire the hope with some Of
them that the nomination might be forced
upon him. Now, however, they have stiff
fened up again, and say that the friends of
Gen. Harrison are not responsible for the
attempt to drag him into the question
again, and that no friend Of his will sane
ton 1t. Some of the Indiana men 20
further than this, and say that it is merely
an attempt to injure Mckinley.

ARMY AND NAVY VACANCIES
But Few in Ono Service and On Unususlly
Large Number in the Other.
Naval Cadets VIII All Fiud Places,
While West Pointers Win Have
te Wait for Appointments.

There will probably be more vacancies In
the line and staff Of the navy this year than
graduates from the Naval Academy to Al
them. Such a condition Of affairs Is almost
unprecedented. Ordinarily it has beer
found impossible to provide for the entire
graduating class, and the excess gradua ties
have been dropped from the service. The
unusual number of vacancies this year ii
due in measure to unexpected retirements
OF several young officers on account of phys
ical disabilities
At present there are nineteen vacancies In
the line, twenty-five in the engineer corps
and one in the marine corps. All of these
will eventually fall to Annapolis graduates
and what Is left over from this class will sc
over to the next. Besides these places,
which can be filed only by graduates. there
are eleven vacancies in the medical corps
Of the service for which there Is no compe-
tition.
The coming class numbers thirty-three
but II the usual percentage Is adhered to
probably three or four will fail either men,
tally or physically, SO that on July 1 it is
not probable that more than thirty at the
outside wilt be qualified for commissions
Contrary State of Affairs.
A directly contrary state of affairs exists
In the army. Instead of there being surplus
vacancies for the graduates Of the Military
Academy, there will be places for barely q
dozen out Of a class of seventy-two. Nc
such extraordinary condition has prevailed
In the army since the establishment of the
Military Academy. Generally at this season
there are at least thirty or forty vacancies
in all branches of the army but today the
War Department reports but five, three OF
which are in the infantry and two in the
cavalry. Not a vacancy exists in the ar
tillery, nor one in the engineers, and few
are likely to occur before June 30.
Every graduate will eventually get a COM
mission In the army, however long he may
have to wait for it. Such Is the law. When
there are no vacancies, the graduates are
appointed additional second lieutenants and
hold that rank until they can be appointed
to the regular establishment Their pay and
rank continues just the same and they suf-
fer no hardships from being temporarily de-
prived Of actual commissions. Within the
next three months retirements will occur
which may possibly bring the total number
OF vacancies to twelve, and some few Of
f1cers may be physically disqualified, which
may extend the list to fifteen. The depart
ment now expects, however, to have at least
fifty odd cadets on its hands for whom there
are no vacancies, and 1t is probable every
one will be Immediately assigned as 'addi-
tonals.'
Among the line officers soon to retire is
Colonel Gordon, sixth cavalry, commanding
the cavalry post at Fort Myer, Va, and
Colonel Ciosson, fourth artillery, command
ing the posts at Washington and the de-
tached companies at Fort McHenry.

that the purpose ofrthb bill was to Danish
bcokmaking from tracks and bring about
reputable racing. The present bill had been
modelled after the Gray-Percy bill, which
was passed by the New York legislature
and approved by Gov Morton.
racing had fallen into disrepute in New
York until the legislature rose in revolt
and passed a constitutional amendment
Under this amendments the question wheth-
er 1t was the intentiore to absolutely wipe
out horse racing was tested, and the courts
that decision the New York act was passed
as representing the views of the real
sportsmen and lovers Of decent racing.
Mr.. Galltnger asked If the advocates Of
the bill would object to adding to the ninth
section clause to prohibit the making Of
records or registers of bets under any pre-
tense whatever. Three or four of those
present attempted to answer the question
at one time and the replies were not very
distinct, but the impression was gained
that the friends Of the bill would not seri-
ously object, although they were not en-
thusiastic.
