STATE ARTILLERY.

The proposition to organize artillery regiments in the seaboard states com mends itself to every student of the condition of military affairs today. It has a particular interest, also, in that it marks a change in the recent con- ception of the purpose of a national guard today has been perfected for the purpose of suppressing riots and protecting home property. How inn portant that purpose is has been dem onstrated many times and in many states during the last twenty-five years. The law provides for the use of these citizen soldiers in other states than their own and also for resisting invasion, but so remote has been the need that even the provisions of the law are almost forgotten. Nevertheless, home emergencies have been a suffi- cient sfimulant to create an army of 100000 men full of zeal and pride, and ready to act as a mighty second line in any war. Their weapon, however, is the rifle.
 The first recognition of the neces- sity of broadening the scope of sol diers who are employed every day in the work shop, store and office was when the naval militia was planned An emergency threatens-t wisdom of the planning is evident. It is due to the success of the Hawley bill in congress that attention is now called to the important matter of the artil- lery arm of the service, and this bill is merely soldier statesman's recog- milton of the exigencies of the situa- the guns-we've been ordering them right along. Then some one had to tell us that we should have the men to handle these complicated pieces of war enginery; the telling was enough; we only had to look where Senator pointed and we saw what must be done. And having seen, we would go still further. Uncle Sam can't have standing army big enough to meet all possible demands upon it and he can't have artillerymen enough to keep the guns sighted all along the coasts if there should be a time when they must be sighted with serious in tent. He can have enough regulars of all branches to serve for models and instructors, and of course for a first line when called upon But his great dependence, today as ever, is upon these men who keep up his in- dustries in time of peace.

OUR LACK OF ARMS.

It appears that Gen. Miles was right when he said some time ago that the government did not have modern arms enough to equip a strong force of troops. The preparations for a possi- ble conflict have included a contract for a hundred thousand Remington rifles, which are to be rapidly deliv- cred. But it is unfortunate that these weapons are not as good as the regular army gun. It is doubly so that they are so decidedly inferior to the small arm with which the Spanish troops in Cuba are equipped. The Mauser rifle, If tested against the Remington, will prove of vastly better character. and it would be a reproach to the govern ment if body of our soldiers armed with the Remingtons were to come to close quarters with even an army of less capable personnel equipped with the German weapon. The Remingtons. as it is understood, will be magazine guns, but they will not have so great a range, such penetrability and ac- curacy of fire, and such firing qualities for continuous work as the Krag-J -Jorg- ensons or the Mausers Especially they will consume more ammunition by weight than the Mausers, a fact which is of great disadvantage in a contest on the field, where cartridges must be supplied by the thousand. But of cOlJrSa a noOr arm ic bottor fb,1 none in this emergency.

THE CANAL WILL BE BUILT.
Hawaiian commissioners All in Fa-
vOr of the Nicaraguan Waterway.

CHICAGO, Aug 1.-The Hawaiian Com
mission, composed of Senator CulIom of IL
linois Senator Morgan of Alabama and
Representative Hit of Illinois, met here
this morning and had informal talks with a
number of business men. They were given
a luncheon by the Hon. Alexander II. Re-
veil. president of the Union League Club,
where they met a number of prominent
Chicagoans. After the coffee the members
of the commission and others made brief
speeches.
Senator Morgan said the annexation of
Hawaii would result in the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal. (Applause.) Cuba
was free, Porto Rico belonged to the United
States, Hawaii was annexed and the canal
was unavoidable. Our flag had been raised
In the Philippines and no man in America
would permit it to be hauled down. Cap
plause2 Not only would the Nicaraguan
canal be constructed, but there would be
snip canal connecting Lake Michigan, the
mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico, and one
between New York and Albemarle sound.
He was of the firm belief that in the next
century the United States would be, by
common consent, the leader of the nations
Senator Cullom said the commission would
ascertain what legislation should be enact
ed by Congress for the government of the
people of the islands, and they expected to
examine the condition of the people, their
industries, the land question, labor ETC.,
and to look at the harbor at Hawaii and
see what ought to be done to make it
great harbor. He also said the Nicaraguan
canal would be built. (Applause)
Representative Hit also spoke of the GER
tainty of the Nicaraguan canal of
the results of the war, as was a cable to
Hawaii. He also referred to the vigor
tirmness and judicious energy of President
Mckinley, saying that his action was in
dorsed by every sensible, thoughtful man in
every political party" A better apprecia-
ton of the true majesty of the American
people permeated the whole world.
The following resolution offered by the
Hon. George r. Peck, was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we rejoice in the as
sured prospect of an early and honorable
peace and in the unparalleled triumphs of
our brave soldiers and sailors in the exist
ing war We hereby express our hearty adj
miration for and confidence in the wise, pa
triotic and able administration of President
Mckinley. He has been equal to every
need and has shown the entire world how
worthy he IS to lead a great people in a
great cause
The commission left this evening for San
Francisco, whence it will sail on the 10th
inst for Hawaii Congressman Hit was
accompanied by his wife, two sons and his
congressional clerk, Henry l.. Hayes, secre-
tary of the commissions Senator Cullom by

ALL OVER A GIRL.
Harry Swiggert SIashed G. w. Tyler
Hid i'm n Cellar.

In a quarrel over woman last night
Harry Swiggert cut Charles w. Tyler, of
North Indianapolis, three times on the right
side of the face. Earlier in the evening both
fellows had gone with a few companions to
Military Park, where the quarrel began.
Tyler and his crowd went off with Swig-
gert's girl. After this affair Tyler and one
companion went to the corner of Illinois
and Washington streets and sat down in the
doorway of the State Bank of Indiana. Here
Swiggert found them and they say, threat
ened to kill Tyler. AT this Tyler jumped
to his feet and knocked Swiggert down.
Swiggert drew his knife, and in the scuffie
following cut Tyler. Fifteen stitches were
required by DR.. Yeager at the DiSpenSary
to dress the wounds.
After doing the cutting Swiggert went at
once to his home, on Illinois street, near
Eleventh. and told his father what he had
done. The father hid the son far back in
the cellar, and when the police arrived re-
fused them entrance, and claimed to know
nothing of the whereabouts of the boy. The
house was surrounded and door broken
sary for Patroman Wallace to crawl quite
a distance through the dirt on his hands
and knees. Then with his revolver drawn
he ordered Swiggert to come out. SWig-
CERT obeyed, and was taken to the police
station, where he was locked up. He has
been there before. The police were very
indignant over their treatment by the
father, and may make charges against him
before the affair is Quilted.
