Bill Providing For a Standing Army
of 10000.
REPORT OF MINORITY
WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PRO
GRAMME WILL COST.
Under the Plan Proposed By the Hull
Bill, the Military Establishment
VIII Require 1910, 100000 Year
ly, the Largest Charge In the
World-A Provisional Force.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The. bill for the
increase of the regular army which the
minority of the house committee on
military affairs will offer as a substi-
tute for the Hull bill was drawn up by
Representative Hay of Virginia and is
now in the hands of the war depart
ment, where an estimate is being made
OF the cost of such q military establish
ment as it provides. The bin as drawn
provides for a standing army of $4,000
men; l2,00c artillery. 5000 infantry g.,
UUO cavalry and engineer, ordnance and
signal corps and general staff. To meet
the existing eXigency for troops in
Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines
Hawaii and the Ladrones, the bill pro
V1des that the president may issue his
proclamation for $4,000 additional
volunteer troops to be enlisted for two
years. These latter troops are to be
commanded by officers appointed by
the president The organization is to
| be the same as in the regular army,
the strength of the different arms of
the service to be determined by the
president. The present volunteers are
| to be mustered out within sixty days
after the passage Of the act, but yolun-
/ teer organizations now in the service
shall be given preference for enlistment
! IN Inc new volunteer army II they so
elect within fifteen days. The bill pro-
vides that no regular army officer who
was in the army prior to the war with
/ Spain shall be mustered out of the serv-
ice.
Mr.. Hay viii file the bill and the
minority report on the Hull bill tomor-
row with the clerk of the house. The
main contention the report will make
for the minority plan as against the
Hull bill for a standing army of 100000
men is that the future of the Philip
pines and Cuba are yet undermined
but that if the standing army is in
creased to 100000 it will be almost inn
possible, no matter what may happen
in the future, to reduce it. The report
will say that a standing army of 100000
men will cost the people of the United
States $165, 100000. This, added to the
$145 100000 for pensions, will bring the
cost of the military establishment w
to S31O,O0O000, the largest charge in the
world for a military establishment
The naval establishment would bring
the total up many millions more. Mr.
Hay estimates that a standing army
of 10000 with $4,000 additional volun-
teers. would cost 100000, 900, but this
charge might continue only for two
years.
The creation of q volunteer force fol
temporary purposes would always keeI
it within the power of congress to ad
just the strength of that force to thu
existing condition.

BURNING OF THE TRUST BOOKS
STANDARD OIL EMPLoYEE TO
THE RESCUE.
Says the Books Were Burned Accord
ing to Custom and None Were
Less Than Ten Years Old.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 22.-The taking
of dispositions by Attorney General
NIonnett to attempt to prove that the
Standard Oil company had destroyed
a lot of it's books and papers few
days before the supreme court ordered
the books to be produced as evidence in
the investigation of the Standard Oil
company, was resumed today.
John McNierney testified that he had
been in the employ of the Standard
company for over two years. McNier-
ney said that on Saturday morning,
Nov. 49, he was ordered to burn lot
of the Standard Oil companys books.
He burned them at about s O'clock in
the furnace of the shops. Later in the
day. he said, he was ordered to go to
the Euclid avenue offices and get some
boxes. The boxes were taken down
from the fifth floor in the elevator, but
some one objected to them being taken
out of the front door. Thereupon the
boxes were taken back to the fifth
floor. McNierney said that he remained
around the Euclid avenue office until 5
o'clock that afternoon, and then the
boxes were lowered by rope and tackle
from one of the windows.
He was assisted by four other en-
ployees of the company. The boxes
were taken to the company's ware
house. They remained there until
Monday.
THE witness said that about 10
O'clock Monday morning he and a man
named Moran took the books out of
the boxes and burned them in the fur
naces. There were nine boxes of books
and six sacks of papers. Some of the
books were about twenty inches high,
and others were much smaller. He re-

and last fight on Cuban soil, and was

the brave general and ended his life.
The horse then passed into the hands
of General McClernand, Skaters adju-

miration; presented him to Major
Marley. The latter rechristened him

$4,000. 600 Lost On Horse Races.

1t is stated that a man won and lost
$4,000, 600 on horse races. Tor twenty
years he kept at it, and most of the
time he was successful. At last for
tune turned against him, and today he
is penniless. Gambling is good deal
like neglect of health. 1t can be kept
up for a long time, but in the end it is
disastrous. Fortunes are harder to re-
store than health. The first step toward
winning back lost health is to restore
the digestive organs to a normal condi-
ton. For this purpose Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is far ahead of any
thing else. This remedy is a specific for
Indigestion, dyspepeia, fever, ague, ner-
vousness and sleeplessness. 1t is a
wonderful tonic. Druggists sell it every
where.

Out In the Near Future.
Washington, Dec. 22-The war de-
partment has not yet made definite
plans for the muster-out of the $4,000
volunteers which was decided on at
the cabinet meeting yesterday, but it
is understood that this work will be
pretty well mapped out by the first of
the year. The time required to COM
plete the muster-out will depend on
whether the department adopts the plan
of a three months furlough or an i'm
mediate discharge, with two months
extra pay, as suggested by Congress-
man Hull. There are a number of regi-
ments which have already returned
from foreign service and are awaiting
their discharge in this country. Among
these are the first engineers at New
York and the Sixth Massachusetts at
Boston. These, it is understood, are
slated for early discharge.
1t has been practically decided also to
muster out all the volunteers in the
Philippines as fast as they can be re-
placed with regulars, so as not to
hamper the military administration of
the island. The regiments on this sta
ton at present are company A, q. s.
engineer battalion, troops E, G. G., I,
K and L, Fourth y. S. cavalry: bat
teries G, H, K and L, of the Third, and
D and G of the Sixth U. S. artillery;

that has come into popular use of late.
1t has long been known to physicians,
chemists and food experts. that the
starchy portion of entire wheat flour
and barley is transformed into a true
and very choice sugar, by the act of
intestinal digestion in the human
body. This sugar is identical with,
and is known as grape-sugar. and it is
in condition for immediate transfor-
nation into blood, and the necessary
structure from which the delicate
nerve centers are built up.

produced the food called GraDe-Nuts,
of which grape-sugar forms the prin-

and can be served instantly. either cold
