Judge King says he called at the Of
flee of the adjutant general just before
leaving Washington for Utah with a
view Of finding out what kind of troops
would be sent from this state on the
second call, but was unable to obtain
any information as to-the kind wanted,
or when they would be needed. Confu-
sion has hold of the departments at the
capitol and the officers in charge are
not alive to the condition of affairs as
concerns details for very long periods.
THE FELLOW WITH A PULL.
The rush for commissions isssimply !
terrific and the 400" are the ones who !
are getting in there. The governors !
and politicians are all at the front with I
their pulls working in the interests of |
friends. II is worse than it was in
1861 in the judgment of men who know. |
It is remarkable to see senators and |
others standing around the corridors
waiting to get a chance to place some
friend in a place where he III wear |
shoulder straps and draw Il salary. |
Ability and previous expert. ce cOual !
for nothing The fellow with a pull !
gets there and the man with none fails /
and that is all there is to it,
BOND BILL WILL PASS.
JuuSt hlIS Sdy lflc Jill ucCldiliiS 1oi
an issue of bonds will pass. He believes |
the amount will be about 100000, 600.
This measure will be forced to pass
age and as soon as the work is accom-
plished congress will adjourn. Judge |
King says the Democrats will fight the
measure but he believes it will win; |
ian see no hope for defeat. Personally, |
ne favors an issue of greenbacks to an
issue of interest-bearing gold bonds,
out the Republicans are determined.
and have the majority with which to
10 the work, and they will do it.
A GRAVE CRISIS.
Mr.. King believes the country is con-
ronted with a grave crisis. The time
las come when it has to abandon the
Monroe doctrine or forego the acquire
nent of territory beyond the confines
If the western hemisphere. He believes
he Philippines will be the opening
wedge. Senator Elkins and others, who
yoice the sentiments of the administra-
ion, state that the theories which were
aid down by the fathers of the repub-
ic, Washington, Jefferson and Monroe,
