coming message to congress President
Mckinley will advocate an increase of
the standing army to 100, 900 men. lie
will also recommend two very inn
portant changes in the staff de-

of the German system of recognizing

present organization cause much delay
and confusion. Uuder the German
system "A major general has complete
supervision of the staff department

to him, while he alone reports to the
secretary of war.
The other change suggested is the
formation of a new staff department,
to be known as the department of ar
tillery. II congress adopts this sug-
gestion Gen. Royal L. Frank will be
placed at the head of the artillery
division. Leading army officers have
contended for years that the present
staff system is inadequate.
In his annual report Secretary Alger

Subjects to Bo Discussed.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. i5.-The w. G.
L. U. national convention decided by
a vote of 2S7 to II to abandon that
temple project as an affiliated in terest
Five hours of animated, vigorous and
occasionally bitter and personal de-
batting was necessary before the vote
was reached. The opposition to this
action declared it was an act OF repudi-
alton of a moral obligation and fought
every inch of ground, but most of the
leaders were against them and carried
their point. Just before adiournfng
Mrs. Durham presented some resolu-
tions on the subject which may pre-
cipitate the whole controversy once
more II she calls them up in the morn
ing, as is expected.
At the beginning of yesterday after
Moons session the president announced
the temple as the order of business.
Mrs. Matilda b. Carse, of Illinois read
her report on the temple, which was
full history of the building and the
connection of the w. C. 4. U. with the
enterprise, and making a strong plea
for the convention to stand by the
temple. She criticised sharply the
action of the general officers against
the temple, She read anew letters
from Marshall Field, dated November
2, 1898, in which he promised to extend
such obligations as he may be inter
ested in, and in addition he was will
ing to give $50, 900 cash to pay the obi
cations of interest soon to become due,
and $50, 900 in stock, or total of $780,
900. Notwithstanding the rule adopted
against applause, there was hearty
and general burst of handclapping at
this announcement. The burden of
the report was plea for the compile
ton of the temple as a fitting memorial
TO Miss Willard.
Tho annual report of the financial
secre tary, Miss Sarah q. johnson, was
presented, showing receipts of S2s,-
76L25; expenditures, Sill, O56.9l; bal
ance, SO, 632 II. The recording secre-
tary, Mrs. Hoffman, read the report of
the action of the executive committee
adverse to the temple and Mrs. Cham
bers, of Pennsylvania, moved its adop-
ton. AS a substitute, Mrs. Durham,
of Iowa, moved that in view of the
1897 convention Endorsement of the en-
terprise, this convention pledge itself
to the temple in the matter of retiring
the trust bonds.
