Edward Henry explained that his bust
ness had kept him at Albuquerque longer
than he had expected, and that he had not
been able to give in the preparation Of his
article on the silver question the time he
had desired. His remarks on hat ques-
tion, however, were timely and to the
point, and were listened to intently by the
audience.
Felix Martinez was called upon for a
speech and while he arose without the inten-
ton of making much Of a talk on the silver
question, he warmed up IN the subject and
made one Of the ~clearest and best talks ON
the question Of the day hat has been de-
livered in this city this year. 3
T. Gillooly and AL. Holman, both railroad
men, and men who know how the railroad
men, on this division, feel on the money

that was enthusiastically received. The
meeting adjourned to meet again Friday,

and militia are of this arm, and they
have a right to expect to see in each
regular infantry regiment a model for
their guidance"
He says of the artillery that when
our system of defenses is completed it
will require total of 29,314 enlisted
men to provide one relief for all tho
guns and mortars. On the peace foot
ing the 20 heavy batteries would have
u trifle over 1000 men, every one OK
whom would be trained gunner.
With the maximum strength now
contemplated by the revised statutes
these batteries would have nearly TO-
600 men. By a further possible in
crease of the enlisted strength they
could provide between 1900 and 49,
600 men, and in either case the addl-
tional men scattered among the organ
izations would become quickly trained.
The latter number would provide the
war garrisons first needed for the more
important barbors, and in any event
there would be carefully trained body
of at least 1000 gunners with their OH
GERS to be scattered among the various
Notifications for the training or volun-
teer organizations in peace and as
nucleus for the garrisons in time of
war.
The total number of separate fortii,
cations projected and partially COM
pleted is little more than 100. In
some harbors there will be one, i'll
others there will be ten, twelve and flf.
teen. Not all of these will require
permanent garrisons in time of peace.
The work Of instruction will be car
ried on in the larger Notifications,
while detachments sent out from time
to time will suffice for the care and
preservation of material in the others.
1t is believed that 70 companies of sea
coast artillery will enable this woii,
to be properly done, but that is the
minimum number that should be ex
pected to do it.
The improvements suggested by the
secretary could be accomplished
through an addition to the per cent. ell
listed force of 1900 men, and would
leave the, total strength the same as
that now authorized.
The distribution would then stand
about as follows: Cavalry, 80 squad
rons, 6,170; artillery, IA light batteries,
so sea-coast batteries, 5,O75; infantry.
rs battalions, 16,325; engineers, bait
talon, 500; ordnance detachments.
4s5; West Point detachment, 215; In
dian scouts, AZ; signal corps, so; ord
nance sergeants, ITO; quartermaster
sergeants, so; commissary sergeants,
80; hospital corps, I'll; miscellaneous,
147; total, 10000.
Such force, considered with refer
ence to territory of 100000 square
! miles, provides one soldier to 100 square
miles. Tho total increase over present
exprni' gre for pay. rations, clothing
and rFe would be $1,770,073.

was immaterial. His sole desire was
to get away from Gladys presence, and
he was resolved to get away from Mill

anywhere.
Therefore, he made his curt adieux
and hiring the care-taker's saddle

Heavens! What was that? From

Thenceforward, throughout the

ever, the feverish gayety and apparent
indifference to himself of the girl he
had once expected to marry.
"Cold, cruel, utterly heartless!" he

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Score tary of War bamont's Sug-
gestions to the Congress.
Wants to See the Number of Men Increased
TO 3O,ooo-New FortiHcations Urgently
Needed for the Protection of
Our Hnrbors.

Agreeably to the requests of Senator
Hawley and Representative Hull, Sec
retary Lamont has forwarded to the
tary affairs u carefully prepared propo-
sition looking to the reorganization OF
the line of the army on a modern basis.
In relation to the artillery and infan-
try, the proposition contains the recon-
;nendations of Gen. Miles. With the
suggested bill the secretary sent to the
committees n statement showing the
great importance of army reorganiza-
ton. The war department proposition
provides as follows:
The principal changes worked by the
bill will be the addition of two regi-
ments to the artillery force, and the fill
ing up of the companies and troops
skeletonized during the last administra-
ton.
1t will add two majors and two COM
pnnies to each regiment of infantry,
placing this arm of the service on the
same footing as the cavalry and artil-
lery. Another important proviso is
that, after July 1, 1896, the date on
which the bill is to take effect, all pro-
motions in the line of the army shall be
according to seniority from the next
lower grades in the several arms. This
VIII do away with regimental promo
ton.
That the line of the army shall con-
sist of ten regiments of cavalry, seven
regiments of artillery and 25 regiments
of infantry, and that the total number
Of enlisted men in the army of the
United States, including Indian scouts
and the hospital corps, shall be limited
to 10000.
In his statement to the committees,
Secretary Lamont says that the plan of
reorganization submitted contem-
plates no change in the cavalry arm,
beyond the manning of the skeleton
troops and completing the squadron
organization, while the total number of
troopers would remain unchanged.
OF the infantry the secretary says:
This arm must furnish the mass of
any army. The other arms are ac-
cessory and subordinate to the infan-
try. Upon it's tactics the whole super
structure of military operations must
be built. Nearly all the national guarc

half-hour drive by moonlight, he
again spoke to her, taking advantage
of u moment when Neville went to
hasten the dilatory hostler in his work.
'See here, little girl" he began,
hastily, with a glance about, to see if
anyone could overhear him, Il can't
stand this. 1 just"
Gladys turned upon him with eyes
opened wide in mock surprise.
81 beg your pardon" she said, in
her coolest ''who-are-you-anywa
tones.
Enright said something-a bad word
between his teeth, but went on des-
perately:
Cant we make it all up, little girl Z?
Can't I say or do something to show"
"Yes, sir, you can," said the little
girl" snappily. "You can try to
be gentleman and confine your at
tentions to me to those called for by
the accommodating more"
Enright shut his teeth savagely and
turned away. He was quite positive of
it now-he was altogether certain that
of all the cold-heartcd girls in the
world, Gladys Payne was the worst.
But he watched her (for his party
passed and was passed in turn
by the Neville cutter several times)
just the same, and he was al
] most willing to swear that he
once saw Neville kiss the girl just
after they entered the shadow of the
pines on the hillside. He was almost
right, too, for Neville did attempt to
kiss her, but was good-naturedly re-
pulsed. 1t had not come to that point
with Gladys, although, to be sure,
Tom couldn't but think SO, and it mad
dened him almost to desperation to have
to sit quietly and chatter small talk to
little Miss Glazer-who, by the way
was enjoying his attentions immensely
So after they had returned to the hotel
he proceeded to make fool of himself
Meeting Neville in the mems dress

GUS lover, Gladys, who had been break
ing her heart all the evening, gave way
utterly, and at once went upstairs to
have her cry out-and there she lay,
utterly oblivious of all that went on
about her, until the crash of falling
timbers, the cracking of flames and the
smoke rushing under the door reused
her from her apathy. 1t was too late,
she thought, to escape by the door-the
smoke was almost suffocating her even
with the door closed-and she rushed
to the window, threw it open and lifted
her voice in that wild cry:
Toni"
What did he care for flames and
smoke, or for any kind of danger, with
that cry ringing N his ears? With one
bound he was inside the door, and
though half-blinded before he had half
reached the upper hall, groped onward,
trying door after door, until, at last,
he found her, and she tainted in his
arms. How he ever got her safely out
he never knew, but get her out he did,
and when she opened her eyes. half an
hour later, it was to find herself on the
sofa in a nearby farmhouse, with
Toms arms about her and Toms kisses
raining on her face.
"Darling!" she whispered, "do you
think you can forgive me?"

smilingly, "I cannot tell Iie'-you

She lifted her face to be kissed.
"Is the surrender unconditional? ?"
asked Tom, presently.
"Yes, dear"
