If matters were bad with our troops

worse in the Spanish camp. The
wholesale cremation of the bodies of
Spanish soldiers because there was no
time to bury them, tells a frightful
story of disease and suffering.

i y announced that sofa $4,000 Of
the volunteers viii at once be mustered
out q service. and that this will bc
followed by further action in the same
line until 100000 men have returned to
the civil life which they left at their
country's call. This Is a wise step and
is welcome news. II 100, 900 volunteers
are to be mustered out now, no doubt
the public service will allow another
large reduction In the army as soon rs
a peace treaty is formally concluded.
We have now almost sO0, 900 men in the
army. all but about 900 being volun-
teers. and the most liberal estimates
do not call for more than 100000 in ac-
tive service, once the war is really over
and matters quieted down.
The volunteers enlisted for two years
unless sooner mustered out. and no
doubt they will face the music with
true American grit If they are ordered
to remain in the ranks. but they en-
listed for the war and the prospect Of
appear very fascinating to most Of
them. A large part of the volunteers
left good positions at home which they
can i'll afford to give up unless the
country really needs their services.
They are willing to make a sacrifi &c
but not an unnecessary sacrifice. More
over, the health conditions of the great
camps are such that the sooner all the
men who can be spared are sent home
the better it will be for the men and
the country. The expense Of maintain
ing the army at it's present size is very
great, and though the government is
far from poor as result of the war
there is no need to needlessly pay out
the millions.
So for many reasons it is wise move
to muster out 100000 of the volunteers
at once and as many more as soon as it
can be done safely. Spain is willy at
diplomacy and though nobody looks
for a renewal of hostilities, it is much
better to be on the safe side and not
reduce the army to a peace basis until
peace is an actually by the with
drawal of all Spanish forces from the
contested territory and the formal
signing of the treaty. Our standing
army of the future will be larger than
ever before, probably not less than
100000 men instead of some $4,000 Is
Of late years, but that is another story.
The volunteer army should be reduced
as fast as possible. The men are
needed at their homes and in their
work, and they are anxious to get there
now that the prospect Of active service
is over. The regular army offers an
opportunity for those who desire to re-
main in the service of the flag.

are well deserved. In the management
of the war Mr.. Mckinley has shown

Consul General GOodnow, writing
from Shanghai, where he has an OPP
portunity to study the Nicaragua canal
question from the other end, thinks the
United States should buy a strip #
land across Nicaragua and built the
canal on our own territory" There IS
wisdom in this suggestion. It is q
settled principle in this county that,
if the canal is ever built, the United
States must control it; but, in the pro-
verbally uncertain state OF both
Nicaraguan and international politics,
the only way to insure control OF any
thing Oil Nicaraguan soil is town it
absolutely. AS for the canal itself, MI.
Goodnow argues that if we are to
maintain our trade relations with the
Orient, it will be necessity in order to
let our vessels go from the Atlantic to
the Pacific quickly and economically.

"HIGH CHURCH" FUNERAL SER
VICE.

Bishop Potter was present yesterday
morning at the elaborate and solemn
"high church, services which marked
the funeral of Rev. Thomas Mckee
Brown, rector OF the Protestant Episco-
pal Church of ST. Mary, the Virgin, in
New York.
The Bishops opposition to the ex-
treme ritualism Of the 'high church"
ceremony is we'll known, and in conse-
quence, when after the service proper
was over and preparations were made
to sprinkle the bier with holy water
and incense it, the head of the diocese
suddenly descended from his seat and
departed from the church, much COM
ment was caused.
Following an acolyte bearing the
cross and supplied boy choir, two
hundred priests filed into the chancel
of the church to perform the solemn
and impressive Office Of the dead for
Father Brown, at hali-past II o'clock.
They were headed by Brother Gilbert,
of the Order of Nazareth, in his brown
habit, covered by cape. Bishop Pot
ter came last.
The sacrifice of the mass, the incens-
ing of the altar and the sprinkling of
the bier with holy water were unfa-
miliar rites to many of the clergymen
aud laymen who were in the congrega-
ton. Bishop Potter followed the SER
vice carefully. He made the response
with the rest OF the clergy, aud pro-
nounced the absolution and the bene-
diction ia the order of the mass. He
kept his eyes downcast at the incens
ing of the altar and for the most part
during the mass.
Surrounded by the throngs of sur
pliced priests the bishop sat on the
throne in the chancel. He faced the
church filled with visiting clergy and
the memb ers of the dead rector's con-
eregation. The aisles and vestibule
were crowded with standing people.
The coffin, with its immense canopy
and pail, was before the altar.
Bishop Potter remained on his throne
until after the benediction. With
bowed head he then suddenly descend
ed from his place of honor and left the
church. After his hasty exit Father
Larrabee was obliged to conduct the
service. He sprinkled the holy water
over the bier, and then the incense was
used.
