A TiresOme Diet.
From the Springfield Republican On

Well, 1t begins to look as if your Uncle
Samuel would not have many more days
al the training table. The steady diet
of nails and dynamite has become monot-
onous, and he is ready for something 10
happen one way or another Either Spain
should clear out or we should, is the old
gentlemans present feeling, we fancy.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-17

A circus man has offered the Secretary
of War herd of twenty-five elephants
for war purposes. The animals, it is
claimed, are all veterans of wars, having
been employed in fighting in the Puniab
and elsewhere. 1t is not thought proba-
BILE that the government viii put an ele-
plant brigade in the field; at the same
time it is not to be lost sight of that ele-
plants have been used as war steeds from
time immemorial, and that Great Britain
now employs them in her far eastern cam
paigns. Should the United States deter
mine to invade Cuba, an elephant troop,
the animal carrying rapid-fire guns on
their backs, might be found very effective.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-17

If the powers of the Old World were
10 strike up a concert OF Europe in the
expectation that Uncle Sam would dance
to the music, it would not take them a
great while to discover that the old gentle
man is not tender-foot. That sort of
thing may do well enough for the Greek
and the Turk. but it would not do at all
for the American.

bill has been introduced in the House
10 authorize the President to call for vol
unteers for the army up to the limit Of
100000 men. The bill is said to be similar
TO the one passed in 1861, when President
Lincoln was authorized to enlist men in
his discretion not to exceed 100000. The
services of the voluntee GERS, under the terms
of the bill, is to be for such time as the
President may direct, not exceeding three
years and not less han six months. 1t
will be necessary for the President to Is
sue his proclamation from time to time
stating the number Of volunteers wanted
and for what branch of the service they
are desired. The general and staff officers
are to be appointed by the President, and
the volunteers are TO be under the rules
and regulations of the army. With the
passage of this bill, it is said, it would be
unnecessary for the President to call Con-
gress together in extra session in order
TO provide men if they should be needed.

should be necessary. The understanding
that a commissioner shall resign when out
of tour with me adrniuistrat ton is as fair
for one faction as another-by out of touch
is meant when he disagrees radically with
the administration as to what shall be
cone in respect to matters pertaining to
his department, not that he must be Of
the same political faction. If there were
such an understanding there would be no
necessity for the trial of fire commission
ers, for which the Council has arranged,
and resignation would not be regarded
as victory by one faction over another

FOR WAR BALLOONS.
Plant to Make Gas Constructed at Tampa Tor
Porto Rican Expedition.

Washington, July 19.--An indication
of the speed and energy that are being
employed by the military and naval
arms of the government to hasten
completion OF the arrangements for
the expedition to Porto Rico Is found
in the construction of a plant at
Tampa for the manufacture of gas
wherewith to initiate the war balloons.
This has just been finished" said
Gen. Greedy, speaking of the work,
land it has been accomplished under
trying and adverse conditions. The
gas is conveyed from the plant to the
scene of operations of the balloon in
specially constructed cylinders, similar
to those in which gas is furnished for
the operation of the ordinary soda
fountain. These would not quite an

three and a half times. and the plant
will fill the entire number once in &c
hours.
"A portable apparatus which accom-
panies the balloon wherever it goes is
used for supplementing the supply
carried in the cylinders, and by unit
ing the two we can expect to keep the
balloon going most of the time. We

troops got range of it with their Maui

ted in a score of places. Fortunately
the machine settled down slowly and
without danger to the occupants of
the car. and within our lines.
