"ARMT REFORM IN ENGLAND.
This Means That the Government IL Best Upon
Maving More Soldiers.

spsofai Gable Dsspafoh 10 TnR SUI.
LONDON, Nov. 2o.-At the Cabinet Council to-
day the Minister OF War was authorized to
prepare a scheme for army reform in commune
ton with the Duke of Devonshire, who, In addi-
ton to being a member Of the Cabinet, ID Presi-
don't Of the Committee Of National Defence.
Army reform Is merely euphemism for an In
creased number of soldiers. II the increase
DO accompanied by any reform whatsoever In
the administration OF the army, It will not DO
due to the Wal Department. The military
bureaucracy which dominates the department
docs not want reform, but the country GER
tainly does, and there is good reason to believe
that the Government will not get the men IL
asks for unless radical changes In the admins
tration Of the army are conceded.
Tho country does not get proper value for the
millions It spends yearly on the army. 1t is
estimated that something like q third Of the
money is wasted In carrying out a system Of
Observation-Disclosures and q good many sup
porters OF the Government, az well as q ma
jority OF the Liberal members OF Parliament,
are pledged to stop the ruinous drain. Opin'
ions vary as to the best means OF increasing the
army 80 "a to get the maximum value for the
money, and q stiff fight between the military
and civilian bureaucratic for control Is assured.
A report current to-day Is that the increase
will consist of two regiments Of cavalry, several
batteries, and 10000 infantry. which seems to
be a pretty large order. Tho Tory Government
has a way Of doing such things on q large scale
and the country is well alarmed in regard to
the army situation and is prepared for ~any.pro-
posals which the Government may decide.to
make.
There is a strong party in favor of forming
two armies; one. as now. recruited on the short
service system, and the other on the long ser.
vice system for foreign stations exclusively.
The Commnndcrin-chief appears to regard this
as impracticable and favors such improve
ments In food and pay and subsequent employ.

of men to the army who now avoid It. Tho

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 2O.-When the stands were

Yale side Of the field was converted into a forest
Of blue silk flags and streamers, for the varsity.
led by Capt. Rodgers. was climbing out of car
riages near the cato on the Yale side Of the field.
Then. as they dashed onto the gridiron at exactly
2:15 O'Clock and began to tumble around like
India.rubber mon, the cheering broke out like o
volcanic eruption. Princeton generously
cheercd the muscular boys in blue as they fell
on the ball and tossed 1t about. and there
was the utmost good feeling. Tho blond
hair OF several members Of the Yale
team was again commented upon, as in
tho Harvard game. and then the crowd began
to familiarize themselves with each player, SO
that he might be distinguished in tho fray TO
follow. The Tigers had not come into view then,
30 the Yale men lined up By themselves In the
middle OF tho field and tried a few formations.
AS they were in the midst OF this a mighty roar
and a great waving OF yellow flags and stream
era announced the approach OF the hitherto
great Princeton eleven. As the Tigers burst
through the gate. led by Cochran and Baird. ID
seemed as II the Princeton contingent would
rush down into the field TO wish them godspecd
and tell them how much glory and financial
winnings were dependent ON thor work.
There was no delay, and the captains walked
to the centre OF tho field. Cochran standing on
Umpire Dashiel's right and Rodgers on his left,
They shook hands cordially. and then the coin
was tossed md Cochran called IT,. lie quickly
chose tho northern goal, so that the Tigers
might take advantage OF tho wind that was

LONDON. Nov. 2o.-Mr. Samuel Smith, q radi-
cal member of Parliament, and a devoted fol.
lower Of Mr.. Gladstone, visited the old leader at
Hawarden at the beginning of the week. He
says he was shocked to see how old age has
seized upon the Grand Old Man. All who have
been brought into personal contact with Mr..
Gladstone In tho last few months have said the
same thing. and the manner In which It is said
10 curious, because all have insttnctively as.
sumod that Mr.. Gladstone 10 different from
ordinary men, and ought to be expected to show
the same mental and physical vitality that be
displayed during all the years in which he was
Q leading figure In Europe.
The fact Ii that during the past two years Mr..
Gladstone has apparently aged ton years. From
being the youngest looking Of old men, he now
seems older than his actual age.
The reason 10 that ho has been worrying and
continues to worry himself over events which
he 10 impotent to control. The UNPUBLISHED
massacres of the Armenians haunt him in his
study, and thoughts Of Turkish trtumphs In
Thessaly and Crete disturb his sleep. 1t Is now
known that during tho brief period when tho
Venezuelan boundary dispute threatened d war

Gladstone continued In a state OF alternate e1-
citement and depression, which left permanent
marks upon his noble face. He Is known to re-
gard the present state of Europe with misgiv-
ing, and to distrust Lord Salisbury's ability to
save the country from war.
1t ls a sad picture, but one which may disap.
pear ct any moment. The announcement that
Mr.. Gladstone has finally decided to pass tho
winter In the south of France disturbs many Of
his friends, who think the long Journey will In.
volve needless risks and that he would derive
equal climatic benefit by wintering In tho south
Of England.
Lord Salisbury in tho course of his big
speech the other day plastered bis old enemy,
Mr.. Gladstone, with praise, In order to con-
trast his greatness with tho l~ittleness of other
so-called leaders of tho Liberal party. Tho
| contrast was obvious. and, as exhibited by the
Tory Premier. was very striking. 1t is per.
fectly true that the party has not yet found
In its adversely a leader worthy to take MIR.
Gladstone's place. II It were otherwise, British
politics would not now DO so ~fearfully dull at
homo and stupid abroad.
REPORTS ABOUT GLADSTONE.
Alarmist reports concerning tho condition of
Mr.. Gladstone were spread In the clubs here
tonight. A telegram that was sent to Hawar-
den Castle inquiring about his health brought q
response saying that, although he has been
somewhat troubled by Insomnia for q week, he
was able to take o short drive to-day.

LONDON. Nov. 2o.-Timid folk may DO relieved
to learn that an Austrian astronomer has taken
tho trouble to disprove Prof. Falb's prediction
that the world will come to an end with . grand

Mr.. Bidschof. an assistant in tho ViennA OBJ

Prof. Falb Ia . man of very respectable attain

Of earthquake phenomena. His predictions
have caused . great deal Of suffering among the

the April earthquake, and who KNOWS but that
this prediction also may como true r.
On the night before May 5 scarcely anybody
slept In Athens. The. great mass of the In
habitants spent the night In the open places
about tho city; Hundreds went, down, to the
Pireus and took refuge on ships In the hRrbor;
some persons. died OF fright and women In
delicate health suffered severely. At last the
morning OF May 3 dawned. 1t was q beautiful
day. and passed without any ~untoward event or
any unusual suffering save that which the
earthquake prophet had caused.
A little over two years ago Falb predicted
that on @ certain day Valparaiso would be tho
centre of a severe ear.hqueke in Chill. The
usual CONSERVATION followed, and for several
days the trains were crowded with fuRitiyes
from that city, who took refuge In the foot hills
of the Andes until Fable fatal day had passed.
No earthquake had occurred. but for about a
! week Falb's prediction had completely upset the
business and peace OF mind Of the citizens.
About that time many newspapers began to talk
Of Falb as a nuisance who ought to he abated.
He has not predicted any earthquake stroe. but

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. oo.-The British ship
Cawdor arrived to-day with q story of miracu-
lous escape from a great meteor during an cleo
trio storm off Cape Horn. The vessel left
Swansea on May 20, and by July % had reached
Cape Horn. Storms delayed her in rounding the
Cape until Sept. II.
On Aug. 20 a great electric storm prevailed,
and after a binding flash Of lightning. when all
hands were on deck, a hugo meteor flashed
through tho heavens and plunged into the sea
so close to the ship that all on board thought
that the vessel was lost. A strong, sulphurous
odor hung around the vessel, and the water was
churned up so that 1t swept over tho deck.
Tho ship was uninjured. but 1t was three
weeks before she could get around the Horn.
The vessel had been given up as lost and l2la
guineas paid for reinsurance.
