LAND FORCE OF NO AVAIL s

The peace establishments Of the
French, German and Russian armies
are at least 1,s5o.0o0 men. and perhaps
may be 100000, all highly organized.
Their war Establishments might
amount to totals from 100000 to
100000 men. On the other hand. the
peace establishment of the British en-
pire amounts to 100000 men-a part
of which is equally we'll, and another
part not equally we'll organized with
the European armies. The possible
war esta blishment Of the empire has
never been seriously estimated. The
peace establishment of the United
States is under 10000 men, doubtless
we'll organized. Like the British peo-
pie. the Americans have never reck-
oned their possible war establish
ment, but evidently they could, If so
minded, raise it to mighty strength,
says the North American Review.
But neither British nor American
leaders will. under the existing cir
cumstances, consider land force as
dominant factor in any worldwide
problem. Their thoughts will mainly
be turned to sea force. q They will
anxiously inquire whether the. sea
force Of an Anglo-American combina-
ton would or would not compare
favorably with that of a European
combination. 1t were needless to stop
and show that all the European land
forces would be of no avail against an
Anglo-America combination, if that
combination really possessed the mas
terry of the sea.

ply the Jetfersopian test to him and
if they found him honest and COM

knew all the candidates against him
and had no criticisms to make, but he
did protest against some of Governor
Sadler's official acts. He represent
ed party that cast six million OF
votes for Bryan. If elected, he
would attend to the duties OF the
Office and do all in his power to build
up the State. He was treated we'll
wherever he went and, from assur.
ances he had received, he believed he
would be elected. He asked the vot-

Safety on Fast Trains.

Thirty years ago, when the average
speed Of passenger trains was very
much less than at the present day,
accidents were Of such frequent oc-
currence that people declared that, to
insure greater safety, it had become
necessary to hang director" In
1895, out of upward Of 1000, 0C0, 600
passengers carried on the lines of the
United Kingdom, only FIVE were killed
one in 200, ,000--whereas the num-
Der Of persons run over and killed in
the streets Of London in a'single year
was 25, or about one in 100000 of the
population Of the metropolis. Suppos-
Ing that each individual Of The $500
Geo of LonGoners walked abroad each
day in the year, that would give a
total of 100000 walkers against
1000, 100000 travellers by railway. and
produces the remarkable inference
that, for every mortal risk incnrred
by railway passenger, the walker in
the streets hGs to encounter IL chances
of violent death.

WHERE LOUIE WEE JUNE MET HIS DEATH.

unfortunate Chinese cook, by name Louie Wee June, who was found in a hovel at S14 Washington street with two bullet wounds in his abdomen. The Morgue was notified, as was the Police Department. and the Investigations went merrily on.
 Yesterday afternoon Coroners jury met for the purpose of determining the cause of the death of the Chinese and returned a verdict of death from inter- nal hemorrhages following wounds, and further that he came to his death by a party or parties unknown. The verdict was approved by Coroner Hawkins, and the conclusions of the detectives who had been detailed on the case that it was suicide seemed to be as naught.
 In many instances the Coroner and heads of the Police Department have agreed to disagree on such cases, and now the detectives are again working on the case to establish, if possible, conclusive proof of suicide. The room in which the deceased met his death has been carefully gone over and every one in the building who might possibly throw light on the case has been close ly questioned.
 The police believe the theory of sui eide is correct from the fact that there is but one small window in the room where the shooting took place and that is over twenty feet from the roof below. Also that the outside door was se- curely bolted when the other cook in the building went to arouse his boss" The Coroner's jury, however. were doubtful as to how the Chinese could have twice wounded or shot himself with large caliber revolver in a vital spot, but the police reply that the wounds were merely superficial or at least one was.
 The situation of the room; the powder marks on the dead mans flesh; the closed doors and the fact that the cook had no enemies known to any of the de- ceased friends; that he had gambled heavily for the past few months as well as suffering from an old complaint is what the detectives rely on and the fact that two wounds were found on the body was the cause for the verdict as above given by the Coroner's jury
 However, there the matter rests and while the detectives, are still working on the case the members of the jury have gone their way, little thinking of the turmoil which may follow verdict opposite to that hoped for by many who had investigated the facts and cir cumstances surrounding the death of one Louie Wee June.
