ON A PEACE BASIS.

How the Army Was Situated Before
the Hostilities Broke Out.
The year 1898 began with the United
States at peace with the world: its army
on a peace basis. Of 2,164 officers and p, $50
enlisted men. embracing lin addition TO the
general staff corps. and Including one bat.
talon of engineers) ten regiments of cav.
airy, five regiments of artillery and twenty.
FIVE regiments of infantry. gathered in vari-
GUS posts throughout the country. The en-.
tire force was well armed, well clothed
well houses, we'll fed. and regularly paid
all of the men in splendid spirits and ex-
cellent physical condition. A state of dis
cipline prevailed which knew nothing but
loyalty and obedience. awaiting any call,
ready for any sacrifice.
Coast Defense Incomplete.
An elaborate scheme for coast defense.
devised in 1886, was not only incomplete,
but just fairly begun: but few guns had
been mounted, and the few others made
ready for mounting with meager appropria-
tons had not left their factories. owing to
the failure of Congress to provide the nee
essary funds asked for from time to time
by the Chief Of Ordnance.
The Devastating war in Cuba which had
waged for the two and one-half years pre-
ceding, occupied the minds of the American
people Neither the Administration. the
War Department nor any of its bureaus

of explanation touching the obstacles to be
overcome. considered in connection with the
results obtained. will appeal to the reason
of fair-minded people who may have or who
would criticise upon imperfect knowledge
or false statements.
Lack 81 Congressional Auth0rity.
Many legal restrictions hampered and en-
barrassed the transaction of business. In
deed. only those conducting the affairs Of
the war can have any idea of the handicap
placed BY Congress on the War Depart
ment and the serious obstacles which have
made It impossible to accomplish ready and
effective work at al times.
During the War of the Rebellion the Sec
Rotary Of War exercised to its fullest ex-
tent the power which then lawfully be-

over the expenditures necessary to q sue

Remedial Measures Instantly Taken.
Immediately upon receipt Of reports ut
the Department dat sickness was preva-

until the camp lessons were learned. one

within the area included in the Arctic
circle. These new ore fields are APP
parently of limitless extent. and of the
greatest possible value to the iron in
dustry of Great Britain, which is rap
idly finding itself unable to compete
with the cheap products of American
ore. These Swedish deposits are said to
be among the most valuable ever dis
covered on either continent
Following the discovery of gold in
Alaska, this may be taken as an in
dication that the mineral wealth of the
Arctic circle may ultimately lead to
the establishment of large population
In those parts of the world nearest
the North Pole, which have hitherto
been little explored. An ingenious phi
losopher has outlined the theory that
the precious metals of the world will
be found in greatest abundance in the
Arctic regions, because. when the world
was {, molten mass, revolving on it's
axis the tendency of all metals was
naturally, toward the axis or the Poles
and that when the plastic mass soIidi-
fed the gold and silver were concen-
trated near the poles.-Leslie's Weelr-

HIS APPROVAL.
How Emperor William
Looks Upon the Cars
Proposal.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-The reichstag was
opened today by Emperor William,
who, after announcing the introduction
of a. series Of social and labor bills, and
the completion of the organization of
the army, said that Germanys rela-
lions with all the foreign powers con
tinued to be friendly, and that the
principal object of his policy would be
to contribute to the maintenance of
peace. Therefore his majesty hailed
with warm approval the cars mag
unanimous proposal for the furtherance
Of that object.
The emperor referred to the assassin
alton of the Empress of Austria as be-
ing a ruthless and savage act, which
has caused him deep pain, and which
had evoked the most sincere sympathy
throughout Germany.
Referring to the anti-anarchist con-
ference at Rome, the emperor said the
readiness with which the invitation
had been accepted by the powers justi-
fed the hope that its deliberations
would have practical results.
Abiding to the war between Spain
said Germany's neutrality was consci-
entiously and loyalty observed toward
both belligerents.
Then, dealing with colonial affairs,
Emperor William pointed out the
measures taken for the economic de-
velopment of Kioa Chou, declaring that
while conscientiously respecting the
well acquired rights of third parties.
the German government would direct
Ire IN he
its economic relations with China,
which are yearly growing more i'm
oortant.
He concluded with saying that it was
with deep emotion that he had visited
with the empress spots rendered dear
to the whole Christendom by the sur
ferings of the savior, adding: 1.-THE
unanimous desire of my three prede-
oessors on the throne of Prussia was
to erect there a place of worship of the
Evangelical confession. That it was
granted to me to fulfill this desire and
hand over the Redeemer's church at
Jerusalem to the service of the Lord
Is fresh incentive to me to further EN-
ploy the power vested in me by the
grace Of God, in behalf of the eternal
and fundamental truths of Christian
ity Guided by such sentiments, it
afforded my heart q special satsfac-
ton to fulfill the long cherished wish
Of the German Catholics by the ac-
QUESTION Of property on Mount Zion
sacred to them by hallowed reminis-
cences. / cherish the hope that my STAY
in the Turkish empire and the brilliant
reception accorded me by the sultan
and the Turkish people everywhere
will prove to be of permanent benefit
TO German prestige and the national
interests Of Germany"
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-12-07

Chinese and Japanese, the report says:
The Americans, although in such q
small minority practically dominate
the governmental affairs of the country
and with the British and Germans and
part blood Neutrality-suspicious. con-
stitute the controlling element in bust
ness. The Chinese and Japanese do not
now possess political power, nor have
they any important relations to the body
polite except as laborers. The Portu-
guese are largely immigrants from the
islands and colonies of Portugal in the
Atlantic and have never been very
closely tied to their mother country
With the certain atttrition which is
bound to exist between them and the
Americans in Hawaii and under the in
fluence Of the existing public school
system, which makes the study of Eng
fish language compulsory, they promise
to become a good class of people for the
growth of republican ideas"
