 The hearing before the notary will be resumed tomorrow morning.
 The regular Standard Oil inquiry. be- fore Special Master Commissioner Brinsmade, was not taken up to-day because Messrs. Rockefeller, Squire and Severance, who were wanted to testify, could not be found. Attorney General Monnett desired to proceed with the hearing and to subpoena bookkeepers and other employees for the Standard. Attorney Kline, for the Standard, ob- jected and argued for more delay. Said MT. Monnett:
 We have been a year and two months getting three days testimony We have met with nothing but delays and the State is ready to go on."
 MT. Kline stated that, to the best of his knowledge, Secretary Squire would return to Cleveland January 4. He said MT. Severance had been out of the city for several months and he did not know where Frank Rockefeller was. He fur ther said that none of these gentlemen had left the city to prevent service be- ing served on them.
 After a debate of some length by the attorneys Master Commissioner Brins- made ordered the investigation post poned until January 4 at 10 a. m. In his order he stated: Notice of the pro- ceedings is hereby given the attorneys"

OPPOSES THE
 VAST INCREASE Minority Bill for Army Reorganization. FOR ONLY 3O,OOO REGULARS PROVISION FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR ALL EMERGENCIES. A Big Standing Force Not Required, Because the Future of New
 Possessions Is in
 Doubt.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The bill
 for the increase of the regular army
 which the minority of the House Com
 mittee on Military Affairs will offer as
 a substitute for the Hull bilI was
 drawn up by Representative Hay of
 Virginia and is now in the hands of the
 War Department, where an estimate is
 being made of the cost of such a mili- tary establishment as it suggests. The
 bill, as drawn, provides for a standing
 army of 30,000 men, 12,000 artillery, 5000 Infantry, 5000 cavalry, and engineer,
 ordnance and signal corps and general
 staff. To meet the existing eXigency for troops in Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii and the Ladrones the bill provides that the President may issue his proclamation for 50,000 addi-
 uonal volunteer troops, to be enlisted for two years. These latter troops are to be commanded by officers appointed by the President. The organization is to be the same as in the regular army, the strength of the different arms of the service to be determined by the President The present volunteers are to be mustered out within sixty days after the passage of the act, but volun- teer organizations not in the service shall be given preference for enlistment in the new volunteer army, if they so elect within fifteen days. The bill pro- videS that no regular army officer who was in the army prior to the war with Spain shall be mustered out of the ser vice.
 MT. Hay will file the bill and the mi nority report on the Hull bill to-mor- row with the clerk of the House. The main contention the report will make Tor the minority plan as against the Hull bill for a standing army of 100000 men is that the future of the Philip pines and Cuba is yet undetermined. 1 out that, if the standing army is in creased to 100000, it will be almost im- possible, no matter what may happen Il the future, to reduce it. The report ] will say that a standing army of I00,0 ,000 nen will cost the people of the United States s15,000,000. This, added to the | 'l45, COG, 900 for pensions, will bring the | ,ost of the military establishment up to ! '3lO, ,OO0,0 900, the largest charge in the | world for military establishment
 The naval establishment would bring he total up many millions more MT. | lay estimates that a standing army of | Q, GOO, with 50,000 additional volunteers. | would cost $100000, 900, but this charge | night continue only for two years.

d rivation OF the Word Adm'ra

The word admiral Is derived by the
dictionaries In a rather roundabout
fashion from the Arabic emir, a word
which has been variOusly translated
lord, commander, general. An emir
was an officer In the Saracenic and aft
crward In the Turkish army. and. as
these were composed mostly OF caval-
~, the emlr was originally cavalry
officer. As the conquests OF the Turks
broadcned the Turkish Sultans began
to make war upon the sea as well as
upon the land. and the officers who
commanded fleets and vessels retained
the title that they had when directing
suladrcns Of horse. The title Is found
among the Algerine and Barbary pi-
rates and is first noticed In English use
during the reign OF Edward Ill. when
officers were commissioned as "Amyrel
of the Sc" or Admiral of the Navy"
