MILES TELLS ARMYS NEEDS.
Says There Should BE Ono Soldier for
Each 1000 Population.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-General
Miles came to the war department at
10 o'clock yesterday and spent short
time in his room at army headquar-
ters. Speaking of the future Of the
army, General Miles said that there
was q number Of matters which re-
quired careful and deliberate consider
alton with respect to the army organ
ization, and that undoubtedly steps in
that direction would be taken rs soon
as practicable. The acquisition OF
territory obviously made it necessary
that there should be q larger army,
and the experience Of the war had
demonstrated tho necessity Of estab-
fishing standard and having the
troops thoroughly trained to the mill
tary service. II was desirable, he
said, that the army should DO
organized on tho basis OF one
soldier to every certain number Of in
habitants, 1t was recognized by mil.
itary authorities, even before the close
Of the war OF the rebellion, that the
establishment Of n standard was de-
sirable, but from time TO time tho
army had been reduced, until ii had
reached number disproportiopately
small to tho size Of the country and
It's population. He thought that one
soldier to every 1000 population prob
ably would DO found to be the right
ratio for the standard, and that tho
army standard being adopted would
increase according to the recognized
needs OF the government in an exact
ratio to the increase Of the population.
He said that ii was just as necessary
that soldiers should have proper train
ing as it was to train men to build
houses, or to have man skilled in his
profession to perform any professional
service. II was essential that IN
army should DO composed OF soldiers
trained to their profession, command
ed by efficient officers in every grade
and controlled strictly according to
military principles. That military
operations should be directed by mil
itary men, he said, was too obvious to
need to be stated.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. s.--The mid
dle.of-the-road Populists yesterday re-
organized the Peoples party, renewed
Its former declaration Of principles
and nominated its national ticket two
years and two months In advance Of
the date OF the election.
The object of this early action was
to head off any such fusion as that Of
1906, While the radicals controlled
the convention, they could not have
carried out their program without a
bolt from Northern delegates. The
Western and Southern delegates nom
mated Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Donnelly for president and vice presl-
dent and declared the principles Of the
reorganizcd party. The Eastern
states were not represented,
1t was the smallest national conven.
ton on record, and II adopted the
longest platform on record, ono Of
over 1000 words. Most Of tho usual
rules Of conventions were ignored, and
most of tho delegates came with self
constituted credentials, owing TO the
confusion over the call.
1t was n very noisy convention and
no connected report Of the proceedings
will ever be recorded. While tho Peo-
pies party was heretofore divided on
the issue Of fusion, it has now been
found that even the anti-fusionists are
badly divided and that the fighting
among the middlc-of-the-roaders them
selves has just begun.
When the second days session was
convened the temporary organization
was made permanent and Chairman
Ignatius Donnelly made another rad
ical speech denouncing all those who
had co.operated with fusion move
ments and strongly advocating the re-
organization Of the party, not only for
an Independent presidential ticket but
for independent candidates for con-
gross, state officers, etc,
A letter was read from Ex-Governor
David Waite OF Colorado, in which he
denounced Senator Butler as treach-
erous chairman and false leader and
advocated the nomination OF straight
Populist tickets for President and
other offices,
The Butler faction moved to amend
by referring the whole matter to their
national committee. This caused great
disturbance and the Butler men were
knocked out.
The Butler faction, led by Mr..
Palmer Of Illinois then left the hall
and the other faction proceeded with
the nominations.

Soldiers Sot Fire to the Summer Thoater
All Field Hospitals Abolished.
CmcKAMAUaA PARK, Ga, Sept. ia
Soldiers last night set fire to Camp
Thomas theater, q building that had
been used by General Brooke and in
which summer theatrical entertain
ments were given to the men Of the
volunteer army. The building was a
large one and contained many thou
sand feet of lumber. General Breck-
inridge has ordered an investigation as
to who are the guilty parties and he
promises severe punishment If he can
identify the incendiaries.
This is the only act Of vandalism Of
which the soldiers have been guilty at
this camp. All of the sick soldiers left
at the park are now either at Letter
or Sternberg hospital, and the field
hospitals have all been disbanded or

BLAMES THE VOLUNTEERS.
Algor Says They Did Not Know How to
TaIke Cnre of ThemselYes.

DETROIT Mich. Sept. 12.-Secretary
Alger expressed himself as well pleased
at the Presidents selections of menu
bers of committee to investigate the
condition of the commissary, quarter
masters and medical departments of
the war department during the war.
On the subject Of sickness among the
soldiers, General Alger said:
",rhe whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves and carelessness in
'warding off disease, The regular men
have not been troubled as the volun-
teers have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and the
proportion of sick and deaths from
sickness is very small"
