Difference in Initiatives

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
As some people seem to think that the ini
tiative contained in the new charter is the
same as the initiative SO long in successful
operation in Switzerland, would like tc
say the chief difference is in the ratio re
quired to initiate and the time before the
initiative becomes effective. The new char
ter requires Is per cent of the voters to sigr
the petition, and then allows the council tc
defer vote until the next general city elec
ton, which occurs only in four-year inter
walls. The Swiss initiative varies somewhat
in the different cantons, but in no case re
quires over per cent of the vote to initiate
and the elections are annual. In Neufchate
1900 signatures are required, and the popu
lation is about the same as Los Angeles city

INCREASE OF THE ARMY.
Gen. Miles Appears Before the House Com.
mitlee on Military AT ,irs-FavOrsa
Fixed Army Standard

Washington, Dec. Is. Maj. Gen. Miles
appeared yesterday before the house
committee on military affairs for a
hearing relative to the proposed re-
organization and increase OF the army.
Two bills for this purpose are pend
ing, one drawn by Gen. Miles and in
troduced in the senate as the lIawley
bill and another introduced in the
house by Chairman Hull of the mill.
tary committee. At the outset Gen.
Miles addressed himself to the general
need of increasing the army without
reference to either bill. He said he
had always favored the establishment
of fixed standard for the army. The
experience of the last year,
he said, had demonstrated that our
present military establishment was
inadequate to maintain our position
as frst-class power. 1t was necessary
now to consider both our military re-
quirements at home and those in our
new colonial dependencies abroad, and
also the rapidly increasing demands
made by our sea coast Notifications.
The latter, as far as completed, required
some 1856 batteries of artillery and
when the entire increase in coast de-
lenses was completed 365 batteries
would be required. The war with
Spain had shown pretty clearly how
many men would be required. Gen.
Miles said. The war had required 81
900 men for actual field operations at
various points Of these $4,000 men
went to Manila, 10000 to Cuba and 49,.
600 to Porto Rico. These were men
actually in the presence of the hostile
enemy. Since then there had been re-
Inducements for garrison and other
purposes. At the same time the
general pointed out the necessi-
ties at home must not be over
looked. The entire frontier had
been stripped of troops during the
late war and complaints were coming
in that the lives of families and the
property of those along the frontier
were jeopardized by this condition.
In particular there were fears of an
outbreak in the Sioux country because
of the absence of troops. 1t was not
desirable, therefore, so to withdraw
our forces from the frontier as to leave
them defenseless or to invite disorder.
These considerations, said Gen. Miles,
had led him to recommend IA standard
of one soldier for 1000 population at
home with native troops on basis of
two native soldiers for every 1000 pop.

COAL NINE HORROR.

Explosion.

Poteau, |. IT,, Dec. Is. "A few min
utes after nine o'clock last night, in
mine No. 2of the lndianola \ Rath-
way Coal company, situated about
three miles from this place, a terrific
explosion took place Five men are
known to have lost their lives from
the immediate effects and about 20
more are buried in the shaft. The ex-
plosion was caused by the ignition of
coal dust after blast had been fired.
1t was something terrific and was
very plainly heard in this place.
The timber work of the hoist
was blown far into the air and
the shattered remains Immediately
caught fire. Over hundred men were
at work in the mine at the time of the
explosion, and only about one-half of
these have been accounted for Those
who escaped were employed in another
part of the mine There seems to be
little hope of rescuing the entombed
miners, as the explosion literally rent
the subways asunder, and there are
hundreds of tons of earth to be taken
away before they can be reached.
A hundred men are working valiant.
ly to rescue their comrades They are
driven away at times because of the
intense heat of the burning structure.
1t is probable that the interior of the
mine is also burning, although at the
present time this cannot be determined.
1t is also impossible to ascertain the
names of those who have been killed
and are buried in the nine The fire
lights up the country for miles around
and there are thousands of people ar
irving on the scene.
This is the second time within three
weeks that an explosion has occurred
in this mine, two men having been
killed in the previous one.
