RETURN OF TROOPS ORDERED
New York Regiment In Honolulu to
BE Brought Home.

San Francisco. Nov. l4.-The First reg
iment New York volunteer infantry now
doing duty at Honolulu has been ordered
home by the war department. Major
General Merriam. commander Of this de-
partment, received today dispatch from
the war department instructing him to
recall the First New York regiment imme-
diately. The first detachment of the En-
pire state will arrive here on December
6, and will be furnished transportation
to New York at once. The remainder
of the regiment will arrive on the goth,
and will also proceed to their native state
without delay. This sudden and most I'M
expected recall of the New York regiment
from Honolulu is the result OF the rec
concentration made to the war depart
ment by General Merriam on Friday. The
last report received by the department
commander from Brigadier General King
showed that the regiment was badly off
from sanitary point of view, as many
of the men were ill with fever and the
dread disease seemed to be increasing.

MORE FRENCH INJUSTICE.
Mme. Dreyfus Treated With the
Usual French Brutality.

Paris, Nov. l3.-Madame Dreyfus, it is
said, has applied at the office of the co.
lonial minister for permission to send her
husband some warm clothing for his re-
turn home. Her request was refused, on
the ground that the government would
do whatever was necessary.
AT the same time the authorities read
to her letter from her husband to the
effect that. having for five months ad-
dressed appeals for revision to General
De Boisdeffre without getting any reply,
and being wearied and exhausted by his
useless appeals, he would write no more
to his family or to anybody. He described
himself as ill and dying, and bequeathed
ito the generosity OF any country the
care of rehabilitating my memory"
Mime. Dreyfus then asked permission
to telegraph her husband the decision of
the court of cessation. This request was
also refused.
Then, through a friend, she appealed
to President Faure. but with no better
results. Her counsel will bring the mat
ter before the court of cessation.

THE NOVEMBER METE0RS.
Two Grand Displays Are Billed for
the Present MOnt-.

Two great meteoric displays are promis-
ed for this month. The first OF these is
promised for the 18th. 1t will result from
the first meeting of the advancing col
umns OF the great Leonid meteors, which
envelop the earth in fiery spectacles once
in every 334 years. The main mass OF
these meteos is due in November, 1900,
but, since their array extends over d
length of at least 1000, OOO, 900 miles, they
require not less than three years to pass
the place where their orbit intersects that
of the earth.
The other great shower occurs on the
night OF November 81, and will be caused
by the meeting of the earth with the me.
teors known as the Andromedes, OF Bic.
lids, which are closely related to the ia
nous missing comet of Biela, if they are
not, in fact. scattered debris of that com.
ct itself.

An ATTORNEY IS MISSING
THINK HE FELL FROM TRAIN
jay ii. Adams, the Local Attorney
for the Great Northern Hallway,
Is Lost-He Is Supposed to Have
Fallen From the Cars, but No
signs of Him Can BE Found.

Spokane, Nov. l4.-It is feared that
Jay H. Adams. the well known local at
torney, lost his life last evening by fau-
ing from the west bound Northern Pa
cific train at some point along the road
between Hope, Idaho. and this city. 1t
is known he entered the train at Hope
and that he was not on board when the
train reached Spokane. The railroad
company has sent out two special en-
gines and put large number of section
hands to work searching along the track,
but nothing definite has been heard here
of the result.
Mr.. Adams had been to Hope with G,
S. Gabbart, on business. They entered
the train together at that city and sat
down in the same seat in the coach. Mr..
Adams, shortly after the train started
westward, left his seat to 60 back to the
diner, leaving his overcoat on the seat.
That was the last time Mr.. Gabbart saw
him.
When the train reached Spokane Mr..
Adams did not appear. A search of the
train showed he was not on board. The
railroad officials were notified and train
men along the line were instructed to run
slowly and carefully examine the track
between Hope and here as they passed
along. A freight train. which received
these orders at Athol. reached Spokane
before midnight and reported that no
trace of the missing man could be found,
Engines and searching parties were
sent out from Rathdrum and other points
along the line, but up to this hour no re-
port has been received. The train made
stops at Standpoint and Rathdr,lm, on its
way to Spokane. Friends of the missing
attorney, thinking that possibly Mr..
Adams had got off the train and had
been left at one of these places, sent mes
sages to persons at both these points to
ascertain if Mr.. Adams was there. No
favorable replies have yet been received.

RECORD OF THE WORLDS CROPS
Oficial Estimates From the big Pro-
ducing Countries.

Washington, Nov. l4.-Sta tistician
Hyde Of the agricultural department has
completed the official statistics of the
crops of the world for this month. and a
revised review of the worlds wheat is an
important feature. Subjoined are official
estimates of agricultural departments of
various wheat producing countries of the
world
Russia, All 100000 Winchester bushels,
an increase of 3O,OOO,OOO; Hungary, 1922
PIT 900 bushels of go pounds; Germany.
ll5O00,O0O bushels OF 60 pounds; Italy,
l22. 27l 900 Winchester bushels; Spain
81 100000 Winchester bushels; Roumania.
100000 Winchester bushels; Manitoba,
27OOO,O0O bushels; Ontario. 33,GOO,O0O
bushels.
The London Times estimates the wheat
crop of the United Kingdom at 100000
Winchester bushels, considerably in excess
of the estimate month ago.
As the wheat area of the more eastern
provinces was larger than in recent years
it seems likely that the total for Canada
will reach the highest of last months es-
Inmates, 65,0OO,000 imperial bushels.
Australia has suffered from drought,
but this is now broken. If the Australian
wheat crop should fall short of the
Broomhall estimates, the largest, it may
in any case equal or perhaps exceed the
very moderate estimates OF the other two
authorities last month. The Broomhall
estimate was 54.O0OOOO bushels of 80
pounds, while the estimate OF the Bulle-
tin Des Halles was 100000 Winchester
bushels. Severe frosts have been reported
from Argentina and the latest accounts
as to the outlook for the wheat crop in
that country are not favorable

GENERAL CORB|N'S REPORT
HE MAKES MANY SUGGESTIONS.
Recommends an Increase in the
Number of Officers and an Increase
fn the Pay of Those Serving In
the Foreign Colonies of the United
States.

Washington, Nov. l4.--Adjutant Gen
eral Corbin has issued his annual report
to the secretary of war. 1t contains
much of statistical nature about the
armies OF the United States. including
the regular and volunteer branches. Gen.
eral Corbin says:
"Since the signing OF the protocol the
officers and men of the volunteer regi.
ments have remained at their posts Of
duty, in most cases at great personal sac
rifice. That they have done this cheer.
fully and without complaint, makes it all
the more desirable that speedy increase
OF the regular army be provided for, in
order that the volunteers may be released
from further service and be allowed to
return to their peaceful vacations"
General Corbin has the following to say
concerning the increase of the regular
army:
1.-THE organization of the cavalry, artil-
lery and infantry regiments has stood the
test of trial in battle and received the
approval of those in command; so that
the increase of the line OF the army de.
manded by our new possessions should
be by addition of the necessary number
OF regiments organized as are those now
in service.
short of Officers.
"The number of officers should be in
creased by one first lieutenant to each
troop, battery and company. This would
enable the department to meet the de-
mands to various details required by law
and then leave the troops differed for
proper discipline and instruction, and in
war allow the appointment OF sufficient
generals and general staff officers. with,
out destroying the efficiency of the army.
"At the beginning of the present war
some 400 officers were appointed to the
staff and volunteer regiments.
MANY regiments were sent to battle
with scarcely more than one officer to the
company. 1t is difficult now. with the
sick and wounded officers for the depart
ment to get one officer to the company.
and then frequently there have been two
companies with but one officer. The in
crease proposed would in no way give a
greater number OF Objects IMAM required.
Increase of Pay.
"Ofticers serving in the West Indies and
Philippines will as rule be separated
from their families and their living ex.
penses greatly increased. 1t is recon-
mended that all officers below the rank
of major, while so serving, shall have the
pay and allowance of the higher grade. .
General Corbin recommends that the
men of the national guard who entered
the regular army be readmitted to their
state organizations. His advice is that
the members of the national guard at the
yearly state eneampment be made de-
pendent for their subsistence on the army
ration to be furnished by the state au-
thorites, or ration returns. and cooked
by the troops in precisely the same man.

would give them the same self.relnnce
which characterizes the regular soldier
on active duty
