For the Reorganization of the Army.
National Guard Opposition.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 12.--A
high Official OF the war department said
to-day with reference to .the rccommlt-
tai by the house Of the Hull bill FOR tho
reorganization of the army:
"A fact which the National Guard,
through whose influence the Hull army
reorganization bill was defeated last
Thursday, appears to have wholly lost
sight of Is that the law makes the reg
,ular army the model for the organiza-
tion OF the militia when called into ac-
tive service. Section 1916, Revised Stat
utes. provides that: They (the mIlltia)
shall be formed, by the President, Into
regiments CT infantry, with the excep-
ton OF such numbers for cavalry and
artillery as he may direct, not 10 ex-
coed the proportion OF one company OF
each OF those arms to every regiment Of
Infantry, and TO be organized as In the
regular service, The antiquated single
battalion resimental formation, long
since abandoned by all enlightened ma
itions. is still the legal Organization OF
our regular infantry. !,
iIf war were declared tomorrow, mil
,lt!a called forth under the Presidents
call would have to DO organized on this
thoroughly obsolete and vicious plan.
Hence selfish, no less than patriotic
motives, should induce the National
Guard to work for a law which gives to
the regular infantry an organization
that takes account OF tho far-reachlng
changes wrought by modern weapons OF
war. That the Hull bill provides such
an organization cannot be questioned.
It gives. moreover, to the company
numerical strength Ordinarily not in
tended to exceed 155 men). less than
which experience has demonstrated to
be unsafe. Every one who has particl-
pated In. q campaign OF any length,
whether resulting In actual conflict with
the enemy or not. must have been i'm
pressed with the fact that the dwlad-
ling down OF companies, from casual
ties below a minimum workable Is
a potent cause OF dislntesratlon and
effectiveness. For this evil the Hull
bill supplies an cGfectuai remedy, and
the National Guard, no less than the 1
regular army, Is deeply concerned In
bringing about It's adoption. The mis-
apprehens!ons In Congress relative to
the frontage OF a company OF two hun
dred and fifty men border on the gro
tesque. A member estimated that It
would amount TO from three to four
miles. It must b, remembered that the
company Is formed In two or three

BE- taken An Official OF high standing
with the flect when questioned on the
subject to-day, said that While no was
cot aware OF any such arfange meats
having been made he presumed the
necessary steps In that direction had
been taken. He added that the fleet II
self could not transport a lsudiclent
number OF men to mako an efficient

must be provided. as II will be neces-
snry to dlscmbask a strong force OF

reached us too late for publication.
One took place near the east end eie-
vator the previous night. The victim
was a thresher'by the name OF John
Deascher and his assailants gave their
names as Frank Shea and James
Clark. The assault was committed
about nine O'Clock, the toughs knock
ing their victim down and attempting
to go through his pockets. Cries for
help attracted the attention of some
railroad men and the hoboes made
their escape. They were soon after

and after a hard struggle the autho

The two we're finally escorted to safe

were three robbers on the train and
they got in their work on part of the

robbed Of what small change he had,
little less than 81. He punished his
assailants by striking them with his
lantern and fired a couple of shots
after them, but without taking effect.
Gamblin soon reported the affair to

they made good their escape before

Moses Ferguson, farmer residing
near Breckenridge, Was in Willmar
last Thursday in search OF parties who
had stolen a team Of horses from him.
The theft was committed on the night
OF the 18th inst. and Mr.. Ferguson
suspects the thieves to be a couple OF
brothers who had formerly been in his
employ. He said that the circum-
stances pointed strongly to them as
being the guilty parties. One had
taken quite fancy to one Of the
horses, and had ofteu expressed the
wish that he was the owner. The men
are described as small in stature and
of English nationality. The stolen
horses were both taken with saddles.
Their weight is about 100 pounds.
The team consisted Of a black horse
and a milk-white mare. The sheritfs
of the different counties along the line
were notified and notices posted to
| wire the sheriff at Breckenridge in
case parties are discovered.
