MUST CHANGE THEIR Ux1EoRus
Sweeping Effect of the New Illinois
Military Code.

CHICAGO, June 29-The American Vol
unteers, Ballington Booths religious or
sanization, will be compelled to change
their uniforms because of the enactment of
the military code of Illinois by the last
legislature. Policemen will not be permit
ted to wear overcoats fashioned after those
worn by army officers, the Clan-na-Gae
Guards will be disbanded Capt. Thos J
Ford's famous Chicago Zouazes will be
forced out of existence. the Aurora Zouayes
will cease to be, the Chicago Hussars will
be required to drop their military trap
pings, while boys brigades and seni-mi!i-
tary companies throughout the state will
be disbanded or the members fineG and i'm
prisoned
All of these things are owing to the pro-
visions Of article II of the military code
now law, having received the signature
of Gov. Tanner.
For a long time the officers of the Ma
tional Guard have been trying to secure
an enactment which would prevent th. in
discriminate wearing of their uniform and
the carrying of arms by independent mill
tary organizations. Now that the law has
gone into effect il is found that il is more
sweeping in its effect than even its trainers
anticipated.
The most striking feature of the Ameri-
can Volunteers is the uniform, whicn is
modelled closely after that of the army
while the officers wear the shoulder straps
of the army, in modified form. This
modification is only in color, however, the
rank designation being Identical

SHORT, SHARP FIGHT
The Senate Judiciary Committees Anti
Trust Amendment,
1t Docs Not Please the Radicals, bu,
1t Will Probably BE
Adopted.

The fight over the antitrust feature pro-
posed to be put into the tariff bin is ex-
pected to be short and sharp. The form of
amendment proposed by the judiciary CON-
mittee as substitute for the several anti
trust propositions submitted in the Senate
VIII not be satisfactory to the radical anti
trust senators nor to those who want to
make political capital out of attacking the
trusts. The spirit in which the PROPOSE
tion was first brought to the attention Of
the Senate was that of antagonism to- the
trusts getting the benefit of protection
given for the purpose of building up Ameri-
can Industries.
The suggestion, therefore, was that when
certain products were controlled by a trust
In this country the duty should not be COL
lected A number of Senat tors would like
TO vote for such a proposition. regardless
of consequences. and others felt that they
would find difficulty in explaining to their
constituents IL they opposed it, though they
appreciated that its effect would be sweep
ing and possibly disastrous. Such a propo-
sition would necessarily involve a great loss
OF revenue, but it is difficult to reach the
abuse aimed at without loss of revenue
The Judiciary committee get around this in
the proposition they present which pro-
Viies nnes and Imprisonment upon those
who violate the provision, but this is not
gong to be satisfactory to those who are
attacking the trusts.
The committee amendment will be fought
or the ground that 1t does not deprive the
trusts of the benefit of protection on the
products which they control, and that the
penalty cannot be enforced. 1t WILL how
ever, meet .he requirements of those who
are embarrassed by the pl lesentation of the
other propositions, and will save the gov
erlment from a loss of revenue, which can
not be afforded at this time There was
positive danger If the committee did not
bring in scme sort of an antitrust amend
ment that the Pe,tigrew amendment might
be adopted. The action of the committee
relieves the situation in that particular,
and ii is expected that the committee
amendment will be adopted after sharp

HIGHWAY COMMISSION MEETING.
Map Received of the Second SectiOr
of Proposed Extensions.


A meeting of the highway commission
was held at the War Department this after
noon for tie purpose of organizing. The
commission consists of the Secretary Of
War. the Secretary of the Interior and the
chief of engineers of the army. The per-
sonrel of tt, commission changed with
the administration. Todays meeting was
tie first meeting of the commission as at
present constituted. There We're present
Secretary Alger, Secretary Bliss and Gen.
Wilson. The principal business transacted
was the election of Mr.. w. p. Richards
assistant engineer, under the Engineer
Commissioner of the District as secretary
of the commission in place of Major Fe-
bigger, Corps of Engineers, who has been
transferred to duty at the West Point Mil
itary Academy.
The commission has received from the
District Commissioners a map of the sec
ond section of the proposed extension of
highways, covering the territory north OF
Florida avenue and between North Capitol
street and the Anacostia river, but as yet
has taken no formal action in the matter.
Under the law approved March > 1893,
providing for "a permanent system of
Highways in that part of the District of
Columbia lying outside of Cities it is pro-
vided that the map prepared by the DIS
trict Commissioners shall be submitted to
a commission consisting of the Secretary
CT War, the Secretary of the Interior and
the chief of engineers of the army, who
shall make such alterations, If any, therein
as they shall deem advisable, keeping in
view the intention and provisions of this
act and the necessity of harmoniZing, as
far possible, the public convenience
with economy of expenditure; and if such
commission snail see fit, they may cause
to be made new map in place of the one
submitted to them"
1t is probable that the map now before
the commission will be placed on public
iav nf ha Hoo nff r,fe-
s:oners for the inspection of interested
persons, and that the highway commission
will hold a public meeting later in the
year to hear whatever objections may be
presented against the proposed rlan of
street extension. In order to allow ample
time for thorough study of the questions
involved, it is more than likely that this
public hearing will be deferred Until Oc-
tober next.

RECORDING LAND TITLES
Substitution Of the Torrens System Proposed
by Senator Mcmillan.
1t Has Operated With Great Satisfac-
That All the States VIII Adopt 1t.

One of the most important bills of local
interest introduced in Congress in recent
years was offered in the Senate by Senator
Mcmillan today. 1t is entitled, "a bill con-
corning land titles in the District of Colum-
hia." 1t consists of f1fty-two pages of
printed matter, being regulations for the
recording of land titles.
The bill proposes a complete change in
the present method of recording deeds in
the District, and covers a wide scope of
subjects relating to the titles of property.
1t is copy of what is known as the Tor
rens land act, now in force in Illinois. 1t
provides for the system Of registering land
titles that prevails in Australia The same
system is In operation in some portions of
Canada. 1t was introduced into Illinois
several years ago, and the original act was
declared unconstitutional by the courts.
The Objectionable features were then re-
moved, the law re-enacted and it is now in
full force in that state. 1t Is said that the
law gives the fullest satisfac ton and is
highly praised by every one who has any-
thing to do with the transfer OF recording
of property.
Senator Mcmillan, the author of the lii,
said this afternoon he was satisfied the
Torrens system would soon be adopted in
all the states. He expressed the opinion
that il would be merely matter of time
when it would be in effect in the District of
Columbia also. Senator McMillan's eXper-
fence as chairman of the District commit
tee in the Senate has demonstrated TO him
that the land records and land titles in the
District of Columbia are in a state of con-
fusion. There are provisions in this bill
for Strengthening out this confusion, he
said, taking in all old titles and absolutely
preventing confusion in titles hereafter.
He said it would be possible for any man
who finds a title obscured to proceed under
the operation of the proposed new law and
a a moderate cost, not exceeding 800, to
straighten out the title and set a clear
deed.
Senator Mcmillan thinks that the Torrens
system as proposed by this bin and applied
to the District of Columbia, will commend
itself favorably to every real estate dealer,
every land owner and every prospectiv
land purchaser in the District. He will
urge the action of Congress upon the
measure.
