France has recently adopted a meas ure for compulsory workingmen's in- surance. The argument put forward is that the insurance of the workmen should stand upon exactly the same footing as the insurance of buildings and machinery. Capital does not hes itate at the latter because loss here i'm mediateIy inconveniences the employer and the principle is recognized that the ultimate cost of insurance, like all oth- CT items of the cost of production, is paid by the consumer. If the employer is compelled to insure his men, or, what is the same thing, carry the insurance himself, this, too, will go into the cost of the goods and be paid by the con- sumer. Hence no one has occasion tc growl; at least this is the way that England, France, Germany and nearly all Europe look at it.

THE CABINET HOLDS A LONG MEETING

If Commissioners can be Found who
will Command Full Conf
dence Of Public.

Washington, Sept. 9.-General Miles
called at the White House shortly be
fore the Cabinet meeting to-day. At
the time of his arrival the President was
comforting with Justice Harlan, Sena-
tor Allison and other callers. General
Miles was shown into the Cabinet ante
room, and there the President joined
him, excusing himself from the other
callers. The meeting between the Presi-
dent and Commanding General was
comparatively brief, lasting about five
minutes, as the Cabinet meeting was
about to begin. 1t was not in the ma
ture of conference, during which
questions relating to the war were dis
cussed, but was that formal call of re-
spect usual on the return of n high Off
cial. The conference for more extended
discussions of war affairs doubt
less will come later General Miles
was greeted with a round of applause
as he left the White House, pushing
his way through the dense crowd await
ing the review of the returning District
of Columbia troops
General Miles came to the War De-
partment at 10 O'Clock to-day and went
to the office of the Secretary of War
Acting Secretary Meiklejohn was at the
desk Of Secretary Alger. Mr. Miekle-
john and General Miles chatted for
some time on general topics Of the cam
paign in Porto Rico, and the return
trip of the Commanding General.
With respect to the reorganization of
the army General Miles said that the
experience of this war had very clearly
demonstrated what military authorities
well understood before, that the estab-
lishment of standard was necessary to
the entire efficiency of the army. He
said it was his intention to recommend
plan of reorganization to Congress,
and that he believed the necessity for it
would be recognized by the public and
by Congress.
The acquisition of territory obviously
made it necessary that there should be
larger army, and the experience of the
war had demonstrated the necessity of
establishing a standard and having the
troops thoroughly trained to the military
service 1t was desirable, he said, that
the army should be organized on the
basis of one soldier to every certain num-
ber of inhabitants. 1t was recognized
by military authorities even before the
close of the war of the rebellion that the
establishment of a standard was de-
sirable, but from time to time the army
had been reduced until it had reached
a number disproportionately small to the
size Of the country and it's population
He thought that one soldier to every one
thousand population probably would be
found to be about the right ratio for
standard, and that the army, this stand

They made hurried tour of the camp
General Alger resumed his journey at
noon to Detroit, and General ShafteI
went to Washington. They were closet
ed together an hour this morning in the
Secretary's private car. What passed
between them neither would say, except
that it was a private affair. General
Shafter is at work on his report of the
Santiago campaign, and expects to com
plete it tomorrow. Speaking of the
controversy with General Miles, he said:
"It is all poppycock, There is no fric-
tiOn between General Miles and my
self at least there wasn't when he left
Santiago. Our relations have always
heen pleasant, and l do not understand
the meaning of all this talk. The Gen
eral may have been talking, but / be-
lieve that much of it is due to antagonis
tic newspapers whose motives are GER
tainly not patriotic"
Generals Alger and Shafter were
driven to General Graham's headquart-
ers. After being received by General
Graham and his staff the Secretary was
asked if he would like a review He
said he would, and the entire corps of
twenty thousand troops was massed in
two great fields and marched before
General Graham and staff and his dis
tinguished guests. Secretary Alger and

ed with the camp and the superb ar

home in Detroit, after which he will
make tour of all the camps, and visit
the hospitals to see if the sick and in
jured are properly cared for.
General Shafter expects to meet Gen
eral Miles tomorrow in Washington.
He said the Santiago campaign was one
of the most successful in history. His
army was in position where he could
not retreat and it was necessary to
force the fighting. Many chances were
taken which would not have been taken
in the face of any other army than that
of Spain.
