Authorize the Two Regiments.

The only objection raised against the bill
for adding two regiments to the artillery
has been the cost but that obstacle has
been lessened by cutting off the pro-
posed simultaneous reorganization of the
infantry on the three. battalion basis This
has been done with the consent of Congress-
man HULL, Chairman of the House Military
Committee. Although his heart is set on
the infantry project, yet he sees that it is
impossible to carry through both that and
the artillery increase in the present state
of the finances, and that the artillery meas
ure Is far the more urgent. He recognizes,
also, that, with the artillery measure out
OF the way. the infantry bill will have the
advantage. next winter, not only of recent
precedent, but of calling for smaller
appropriation than II both measures
should be postponed until then. The case
Is like that of the navy, which, few years
ago, needed more enlisted men, but pru-
IDENTIFY divided its desired increase into two
parts. and when the first after some dis.
cussion, had been granted, found no trouble
whatever In securing the second soon after
The Speaker of the House, In spite of
his desire for rigid economy, makes an
exception of this measure because 1t is an
urgent public necessity.
1t will be an agreeable surprise to many
Congressman to learn that the addition to
the annual army appropriation caused by
this pending bill, as reckoned by an artil-
lery officer, will be only $342, ,87O. Such a
sum is an Insignificant fraction of the
$500, O,OO0,0 voted annually for Federal
expenses. 1t is insignificant, too, COM
pared with the sums annually laid out on
public buildings and the dredging of rivers
and harbors. Yet with it we obtain the in
estimable advantage of two more regi-
ments Of artillery, giving US seven where
we now have only five, and to that extent
providing for the proper defence of our
ports and our coast.

MONTREAL. Jan. 12.-The St. James Club of
Montreal. which blackballed United States Con-
sul-Gencral Bittinger has record for that sort
Of thing. 1t quito dulls tho edge Of the snub to
recall the fact that prominent Canadians, for no
apparent reasons. have suffered the same hui
initiation. There seems to be clique in st.
James which demands homage before new
member can be admitted. No matter how prom
incnt the clubman may be who proposes a new
member no must win the conciliation OF the
cliaue otherwise influence will be SO manip.
ulated that st. James will record disapproval of
the proposed name.
Within the past year Mr.. Shaughnessy, tho
Vice-President OF the Canadian Pacific Railroad
and one OF the most influential members of tho
club. proposed for membership the most prom
inent politician in western Canada. the man
who was the author of the Manitoba school
question and tho great opponent Of the western
railroad monopoly, Mr. joseph Martin. For
reasons that were partly political MIR. Shaugh-
messy was particularly oesirous that Mr.. Mar
tin should be received In spite Of all tho infiu-
ence that Sir William Van Horne, Mr. Shaugh-
messy and their friends could exert Martin was
blackballed.
The action of tho st. James Club in the case of
ConsulGeneral Bittinger may seem significant
of international discourtesy to those outside of
Canada, but within the Dominion the general
verdict will be Another trick of the st. James

The turmoil in the Seminole Nation is
due to the act of a white mob, who burned
at the stake two Indians of that tribe ac-
cused of assaulting white woman. That
much excitement resulted Is natural, but
1t was exaggerated in the first accounts.
No outbreak was attempted against the

are at Washington to secure the ratification
of an agreement made by them.
