WHAT ENGLAND WOULD LIKE.
tain Control Of the Philip
pine Islands.

There is no reason to doubt that
nearly all the influential leaders in
English public life are hoping that the
Americans will retain control Of the
Philippines after the close of the war
with Spain. They don't profess to be
disinterested in their advice, nor &c
look at the question from an American
point of view. They frankly adn.i;
that the occupation of the Philippine
by either France, Germany or Great
Britain will subject the relations ot
European powers to a dangerous
strain and they favor permanent
American control of the group in the
interest Of ace. They are also srnSi.

UNCLE SANS ARMY.
Wonderful Organization Accom-
plisfed in Three Months.
over Two Hundred and Fifty Thou
sand Men Mustered Into Service
Army Experts of Europe Amazed
at Achievement.

A consolidated statement prepared
bv Mai. John \. Johnston, assistant ad-
jutant general, shows that OF the 2TI,-
500 men authorized by congress to be
enlisted in the regular and volunteer
armies 254.479 up 20 this time have
been musteredi into the service. Of h
23,D31 vet required TO complete the All
thorized quota of the army, 1905 are
regulars: 5000 are volunteers under
the second call. S62 are immunes and
ISL are engineers.
The authorized strength of the reg
4llar army is 61,C0O. On April 80 it con-
tanned $500 men. Since that time
S3.192 recruits have been obtained
from a probable $4,000 applicants, by
E limited number of recruiting officers
for the most part strangers in the
country canvassed and during a period
of competition by state authorities for
the same men. In the opinion of the
officials of the war department the
returns of regular army enlist
ments will show a great increase Is
this competition ceases. The strength
of the regular army to-day, less recent
casualties estimated at 1000, is 1852.
The Authorized strength OF the vol
unteer army is 216.5 0 OF this number
$4,000 were included in the presidents
first call for troops, all of which have
been recruited. mustered and put in
the field: $4,000 were included in tie
second call, $1,000 of which have been
mustered into the service. 5000 were
to constitute three special regiments
of cavalry. 10000 were iTmunes ard
$500 were engineers.
Of the volunteers under the srcuHH
call, $4,000 tkus far enlisted have been
distributed among complete orgaa,a-

Kite Telephony.
$50 San Antonio st.

The possibility of remarkable
achievements in signaling seems to be
sugge sted by some late experiments in
kite telephony. In some tests made by
the British admiralty. a kite of the
ordinary model, except that it was
minus tail, was used. 1t was feet
long and 3 feet across the shoulders.
The place of the tail was taken by two
lines, one of which was kept on an in
structional torpedo boat, from which
the experiments were conducted. The
kite was SO easily managed that IL t.
ter, or even hswser, could be dropped
without difficulty into another ship
some distance away. a hanging wire
was then attached to the kite This
wire was dropped on the deck of H. M
S. Dauntless, half mile off, where it
was secured and attached to a tele-
phone. The two ships were instantly
in perfect communication. The kite
remained suspended, secured by two
lines, for more than four hours, during
which the communication between the
two ships was uninterrupted. The
new system of signaling, which was
vantages over any flag system. If q
telephone wire can be transported in
this way, of course telegraph wire
can be, and it would seem that here
after there should be no difficulty in
rapidly throwing out series of lines
by means of which the ships of q whole
fleet will be able to talk or telegraph
to each Other.-Dallas News

and peculiar noises. On that date, at
which time family by the name of

girls of the family, aged about ten
years-discovered that they possessed
the mysterious power to produce these
peculiar knockings and noises at will,
ard from this starting point the move
ment CT spiritualism, with all it's at
tendant psychic phenomen has been
developed.
The celebration is under the aus
pices of the National Spiritualists' as
