New York Evening Post: If for no
other reason, Mr.. McKenna might well be
rejected because of his inability to state
in an Ineligible manner what his views
really are. One of the most frequent du-
ties of a judge is to throw light upon OBJ
securities of statement. This becomes of
special Importance in proportion as the
judge holds a rank which makes his deci-
sions the rule of action for inferior courts.
And yet Mckinley seeks to fill the posi-
ton of Judge Field with a man who has
recently put forth probably the most
muddled. obscure piece of reasoning
which has emanated from q cabinet Office

AN INCENDIARY FIRE

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 6.-Word was received
in this city today that the hotel at Del
Mar, twenty miles north OF here, was burned
to the ground between 2 and o'clock this
morning and nothing saved from the build
ing. Flames were first discovered burst
ing from ali parts OF the structure, and the
few occupants barely escaped with their
lives. The building was owned by Uri Ben
nett, and, with it's contents, was valued at
about $4,000. The origin of the fire is be-
lieved to have been incendiary. 1t is only
few days since the pumping plant at Del

A HOTEL FIRE VICTIM
Body of Judge Carter Recovered From
the Ruins

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6--Workmen
engaged in clearing away the debris caused
by the destruction of the Baldwin hotel, to-
day came across the body of John j. Carter,
the well-known eastern horseman, who has
been acting as judge at the Oakland and
Ingleside meetings. Judge Carter occupied
room on the fifth floor of the Baldwin
hotel, and during the early progress of the
fire it was thought that he had escaped, but
as he did not put in an appearance it soon
became certain that he had been lost. His
body was positively identified this after
noon. Edward Pryor, bookmaker, is still
missing, and it is certain that he also suf-
tered the same fate as Carter An organized
search is being made for more bodies. The
finding of Judge Carter's remains brings the
list OF dead directly caused by the Baldwin
fire up to five.

More Cavalry.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Tuesdays Star contained an account Of
the preliminary enrolment of nearly a
thousand names, for a cavalry regiment, to
be mustered into the service of the gov
ernment in case Of war. Such patriotic en-
thusiasm shows that the country's honor
Is still as dear to Americans as in the days
of 17I6 and 1912. And the mutual interest
of men from the north, and men from the
south, goes to show how completely love
of country will obliterate sectional rreiu-
dices.
But, as an old cavalryman, wish TO call
attention to the woeful lack of that arm
In the army of the United States To be
SIRE, 1t stands in fair, proportion to the
other arms of the regular army-ten rcgi-
ments' Of cavalry to five of artillery and
twenty-five of infantry, regarding its tao
tical use only. But ii we. consider how long
1t takes to make g. cavalry soldier, the pro-
portion Of cavalry In the regular establish
T.ent seems to me far too small. If the
enthusiastic young gentlemen who are des
si1 GUS OF organizing a cavalry regiment
think that thsy can attain even fair pro-
fcfeEcy in the course OF "a year, or even
two years, they should draw a few lessons
from the great civil war. +.
Every old soldier will remember what a
laughing stock the Union cavalry was dur
Ing the first two years of the war; the
criminal ignorance Of officers as to their
duties and the lamentable inefficiencv of
the rank and file. During that period, the
arm was not only almost totally unser-
viceable to the government, but the enorln-
GUS loss Of horsefiesh, due to ignorance and
lack of proper training, cost the govern
ment vast SIM of money. To be sure,
this inefhciency was gradually overcome,
and Sharidan's magnificent body of cavalry
was easily the peer Of the cavalry of the
world.
All this is said, not to discourage those
anxious to form a cavalry regiment Of
volunteers, but rather to call attention to
one Of our military deficiencies. We voun-
teer cavalrymen, during the first years Of
the war, found that we had to perfect
ourselves in not only our own mounted
duties, but in those Of the infantry as well.
A war with Spain would probably be over
in six months. before the average volun-
teer cavalry regiment would be prepared to
make a decent charge.

observed q sojourner in the city to q Star
reporter.
Il like to see it, and I wish 1t was true
OF other cities. OF course, it Is because of
the large number OF public buildings here.
but there is no reason why the public
buildings OF states and cities should not
have the emblem OF the Union displayed.
Nothing arouses the patriotism Of this re-
public like Old Glory and it does me good
to visit Washington. notice, too, that
not only public buildings, but private insti-
tuuons and even residences In Washington,
nave hagstaffs above the roofs from which
the starry banner floats. OF course, no
loyal citizen needs anything to arouse a
patriotic feeling, but the rising generation
would be greatly impressed with it's sig
nihcance, and would learn to hold 1T more
dearly II they saw more Of the nag.
within the last few years a great many
states have passed laws providing that
hags DO displayed above school houses.
