cause it would be their natural opin-
ion OF men whose purpose was to do
things differently and better than they
did them; and, as a mere Tammanyite,
it does not surprise us that Col. Gar
diner holds reform in such contempt.
But Col Gardiner is of different
training. He is an officer Of the reg

sumo, In the absence of information to
the contrary, that he entered the army
through West Point and that he gain
ed entrance there under an eXamina-
tfon that tested his merits. We do not
suppose that he received his promotions
through the various grades to his rank
of colonel through any "pull' he may
have had with the promoting power,
but assume that his several elevations
came to him on his merits as a soldier.
Were now some band of reformers to
rise and demand that all such folderol
as merit and fitness should be abol-
and that appointments to the one and
promotions in the other should be con-
trolled by party bosses and bestowed
upon those who had a pull, we Won

has not lost all his soldierly esprit du
corps in his present political associa-
tons, he would say to them just what
he advised his hearers to say to those
who talked about reform in municipal
matters. And between a movement to
abolish merit in the army and in the
civil service of cities and the govern
ment, there is no difference whatever.
But we admit that the colonel expresses
accurately, if with needless vehemence,
the views that flourish in his political
environments.

GEN. MILES REPORTS.
He Recommends an Increase in the
Standing Army.

He recommends an increase in the
Standing Army.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Gen. Miles,
major general commanding the army,
has made his report to the secretary
of war. In it he makes a reference
to reports of the general and other
officers subordinate to him in rank
Gen. Miles says in part: 1.-The army,
although inadequate in point of num-
bers, was never in a higher state Of
efficiency both as to the character and
qualifications of it's officers and intel
hgence and loyalty of it's soldiers.
The progress that has been made on
the Pacific coast in the establishment
OF modern batteries Of artillery have
made 1t necessary to occupy new
ground and to adopt a new system of
DEFENSE. He recommends fortifica-
tion appropriations in the southwest
as follows: Approaches to Mobile,
Ala, 1897 900; approaches to New Or
leans, $319,O00 Galveston, $412, GOO; San
Diego, Cal, $725, 900; San Francisco
$l,336, 900; Columbia river, $605 200; Pu-
get sound, S1,140, 900.
He strongly recommends an increase
in the army of at least two additional
regiments of artillery, saying that by
Dec. 81 number of positions will be
armed In part or fully with modern
appliances of war, and that in these
important positions there are no troops
stationed and none available for as
Slgnment to those positions without
taking them from other stations where
they are at present imperatively re-
quired. He also urges the necessity
of adding five infantry regiments to
the army, and recommends that con-
gress fix standard of strength on a
basis of total population. This stand
ard, he thinks, should be a maximum
of one enlisted man to every 1000 pop
ulation, and the minimum one soldier
to every 1000 population.

REPLY OF SAGASTA
Approved by the Cabinet Council,
but Its Text still Secret.

but Its I&Xt StIII secret.
MADRID, Oct. 22.-Senor Sagasta, the
premier, presided at the cabinet coun-
Gil today. The proposed reply to the
note of the United States, shortly after
his arrival here, was under cOnSidera-
tion and was unanimously approved.
It's full text has not yet been published
The reply explains that Capt. Gen.
Weyler has been replaced for political
reasons, and includes a statement Of
the government decision to grant au-
tonomy to Cuba and a protest against
filibustering expeditions from the
United States. The council also approx
ed the proposal introduced by Senor
Moret, minister for the colonies, to
grant amnesty to political prisoners in
Cuba and Porto Rico.
Prior to the meeting of the council,
Senor Sagasta had a long conference
with the queen regent at the palace.
Senor Gullon, the minister of foreign
affairs, in the course of an interview
today denied that there had been the
least disagreement between the pre-
mier and himself as to the course to
be pursued, adding that he had COM
municated to Senor Sagasta the con-
tents Of all the dispatches from Senior
de Lone, minister at Washington, and
had consulted the premier on all in
structions sent to Senor de LONE
An official note, published after the
cabinet council, intimates that Senior
Gullon read Senor de Lome's dis
patches to the cabinet and described
the measures which the foreign office
has taken at Senor de Lome's request
on the subject of flihustering. The
ministers expressed their regretful
astonishment at the passion displayed
in Havana dispatches published in
New York city, The council ap-
proved the instructions given to Mar
shall Blanco as regards his political
policy, which are in accord with the

day:

ROMANCE IN AN ELEVATOR.
Breaking of the Cable Causes a
Young Couple to Fall in Love.

Young Couple to Fall ix Love.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Justice BIume inter
rupted the proceedings in case on hearing
before him yesterday afternoon long enough
to unite in marriage a young couple, who
insisted that they had no time to wait for the
case to be concluded.
The contracting parties were William Cal
lahan, chief engineer Of the Madison block in
which Justice Blume's court is situated and
Annie Snow, a West Side young lady. The
marriage is the result of a pretty romance
which, like its ending, had its beginning in
the building.
Besides his regular duties Engineer Gala
han relieves the elevator conductor for an
hour or two each day while the latter goes to
dinner One day last winter Callahan had
occasion to convey pretty girl to an upper
floor OF the building, and while ON the upward
trip, the cable broke and the elevator fell.
The girl tainted bait was not injured neither
was Callahan. He had her cared for and
learned her name. Shortly afterward she
called again and the tell-tale glances of both
told story Of love.
Several trips in the elevator decided the
fate of the couple, and yesterday afternoon
after several attempts on his part, Callahan
broke the ice, and asked Miss Snow to become
his wife. When she answered Yes" her
change her mind, but, securing leave of alb
sence, hurried her to the county building,
where he secured a marriage license AS
quickly the happy ones returned, and begged
Justice Blume to tie the knot. The court
remembering the many lifts the groom had
given him during the decade he has been in
the building, was not long in taking this
of advice performed the ceremony in open
court in presence of al the attaches of the
building. The hearing of the interrupted pro
oeedings was then resumed
