THE TEXAS VOLUNTEER GUARD
IT'S REORGANIZATION WILL BE A
SLOW PROCESS.
General Wozencrnft Says 1t Should
BE Thorough and with AccOutrc-
ments of Modern Pattern.

Dallas, Texas, December 12-Adjutant
General A. +. Wozencraft departed tonight
Tor Chicago to attend the National meet
ing OF the adiutant generals of the differ
ent States of the Urion. On January II
General Wozencraft win retire from pub
lie life and return 10 his home in Dallas
to resume the practice of law.
Speaking of the movement to reorganizc
the Texas Volunteer Guard, which body
was practically absorbed In the volunteer
army of the United States by the war
with Spain. General wozencraft said: 81
look for stronger volunteer guard force
than the State has ever before had; but
the work Of reorganization will be slow.
The State has no arms or accoutrements.
The three Texas regiments already mus
tered out of the United States service
TWO OF infantry and one OF cavalry-.of
course deposited their arms In this State
for the Federal government and We could
get this equipment; but 1t Is comparatively
obsolete ana altogether undesirable For
instance, we don't wish to have our in
iantry organizations armed with the old
cprirgnelds We desire Kragg -Jorgensens
and smokeless powder and other up TO
Date weapons; also the latest equipment
for our cavalry and artillery organizations.
From my study of the war with Spain, l
am not favorably impressed with the Cat
ling guns for artillery. Their worst fault
seems to be that they get out OF order
easily, and to this extent are unreliable.
WIN the experienced material row avail
able as q result OF army service Texas
VIII nave IN its reorganizsd form as flne
body OF men in it's volunteer guard as
any State In the Union.''

II the people of Galveston are wise they
viii not oppose the building of the Houston
ship canal. but, on the contrary. do every
great West and Southwest need all the
facilltiee that both ports could provide
and in thsir absence the business VIII BIT
diverted. This years blockade has proven
to the satisfaction CT thinking men that
increased shipping facilities bring an in
crease Of tonnage In excess of the improve
ments made, and there Is no room for
doubt that Galveston's business would be
accelerated rather than Diminished by tho
making OF port at Houston.

MAY SPLIT THE PARTIES.

Washington December Icons ervative
politicians Of both parties are beginning
to realize that the Philippine question is
not as simple as it seemed at first, and
! they are becoming rather shy OF discussing
the subject any further than necessary.
1t is pretty we'll understood by now that
this is n time of transition and that he
who says least may have least to recant a
year from now. when time has made good
many things clear.
Ut is quite certain that the peace treaty
Will be ratified. if not at the present ses-
sion, then early in March at an extra ses-
sion 1T Is also certain that the Philip
mines will be held under military control
for at least Il year before any questions Of
territorial organization, tariff, citizenship
or constitutional power will arise. Careful
statesmen argue that there is no use in
discussing these matters now They say,
with MIR. HIT Of Illinois. that in a year
We Will know more about the subject and
can decide better. In the meantime the
only question has been whether the islaI. DIS
were TO go back to Spain or to be under
cur control and we have chosen the latter
as temporary policy that may or may not
be made permanent.
Or they say. with Senator Lindsay OF
Kentucky. that The Vest resolution. ds,lar-
ing that the United States has no authority
to annex territory except f,r coal.l.g sla-
tions unless with the intention OF ersss;,g
It into States. is very fmpolitic. The right
to annex territory under the constitution
was settled years ago for all time" said
Mr.. Lindsay, and 1t now devolves on Mr.
Nla9f IN eli ~ OIL ic tt.l
by the constitution to territory intended for
States. There may be such an inl,hi. m
but don't know where 1t lies. We XII
get around to that question In the lutlie."
1t Is generally agreed that the question Il
expansion will be one OF the issues OF II e
next presidential campaign. and 1t is felt
that extreme care must BIO taken to ave i'd
false moves In mailing UP the record The
two great parties are not unit OH Tie
pol!cits TO be pursued by them. and will
not be for some time. The real auestnii
stripped of glfttesdng generalities. is
