Aside from the question OF fitness for

Eastern sentiment against strengthening
the waning free silver cause by admission
of states which are likely to return silver

attitude OF the senate on a vital public

Gus disappointment outside that territory

Minneapolis Tribune.

Minneapolis Iribune.
One of the most striking facts nouceo
by Gen. Miles in his recent trip abroad
was the large use made by the European
armies OF American weapons, particularly
or machine rapid-fire and small guns. AT
Aldershot every one of the British regi-
ments that swept past In review was fol-
lowed by a machine gun of American In
vention. The entire British army Is armed
with a rifle designed by an American, and
the Germans have begun the purchase OF
a number of American machine guns.
Russia also uses American ideas In her
army, and the French are only deferred
by the expense from throwing away their
present outfit and adopting American
machine and rapid-fire guns.
