Military Establish ment.
The recommendation made by the sec
rotary of war for the increase of the reg
ular military establishment has the Presi-
dents unqualified approval. He says that
it is his purpose to muster out the entire
volunteer army as soon Is Congress shall
provide for the increase Of the regular

ton Of Il building for the department of
justice and suggests also the ACCESSIBILITY
of making proper provision for the SD
preIne court.
He earnestly approves of the recon-
menGa tons Of Secretary Long as TO the
increase Of the navy, and recommends
also that the grades of admiral and vice
admiral be temporarily revived To be
filled by officers who have especially dis
tineuished themselves in the war with
Spain. The President earnestly urges
early legislation for the taking of the
twelfth census and legislation providing
for the education Of the 10000 white
