that the owners have. strong hopes of

struggle, and if beaten it will be by a
narrow margin. 1t is generally believed
the rural districts viii give him good
majorities. while in the cities there is
a strong sentiment against his single
tax ideas, which make good campaign
stock for his opponents to disseminate
among certain classes.

good-as good as could be expected -

general prosperity resulting from a
bountiful harvest during the previous
year. the farming districts have done

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
One Hundred Thousand Men Needed
For Foreign Service.


Washington, Nov. 1.-The request of
the First Colorado infantry to be re
turned from Manila to the United
States cannot be granted by the war
department 1t was stated by war
department official that such requests
had been frequent from soldiers of vol
unteer companies, who enlisted to
fight, but did not enlist for garrison
duty. Nothing could be done until
congress met and provided some kind
of a force to take the place of the
volunteers.
The subject of the reorganization of
the army, with a view to securing an
adequate force for the new posses
sions of the United States, has already
received the serious consideration OF
the president, the secretary of war and
the officers of the army. The president
will make recommendations to congress
on this subject, embodying his views
and the views of those who are in po-
sitions to give him the very best ad-
vice. 1t is probable that he will recon-
mend an increase of the army to some
thing like 100000 men, although he may
think that 10000 is enough. There has
been some talk also of enlisting for
garrison duty two companies or a bat
talon of natives to each regiment do
ing garrison duty in Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the Philippines. 1t is believed that
by this method q considerable portion
of the restless population of the is
lands. and especially those who have
been bearing arms in the insurgent or
Spanish armies, could be kept quiet
and laW-abiding.

he was chosen to continue in the place
he has so ably filed at the head of the
Short Line system.
The message, though brief, conveyed
news that means a great DEAL not
only to the city, but to the state Of
Utah. as it practically settles the fact
that the head offices of the sysem will
remain in Salt Lake. 1t is now an alb
solute certainty that the Short Line.
for some time to come. at least, will be
conducted as a separate system. with
Salt Lake the center as heretofore.
The election of Mr.. Bancroft also
means the retention OF Traffic Manager
Eccles and General Passenger Agent
Burley, as well as the heads of other
departments, and puts an end to the
feeling of unrest which has pervaded
the Offices since the meeting of the
stockholders in this city about two
weeks ago
While Mr.. Bancroft's selection took
place at the same time when W. D.
Cornish was elected president, for soma
reason or other it has been kept secret
Until yesterday. No doubt the higher
officials knew that such action had been
taken. but It was kept 50 quiet that
even the trusted clerks in the depart
ments knew absolutely nothing. Mr.
Bancroft, while no doubt being aware

received his official notification. which
came early yesterday morning. When
1t became generally known there was a

ness men, TOO, who heard the news.
were not slow in declaring that Mr..
Bancroft's selection was not only de-
served by reason Of the good record he
has made, but the very best thing that
could have happened to Salt Lake.
So far as the immediate future policy
of the Short Line is concerned it is suf-
ficient to say that it will be conducted
on an Independent basis and still in

harmony with the demands Of the
Union Pacific interests. The two sys-
TENS will be separate, but at the same
time in entire harmony with each other.
So far as can be learned from the most
reliable sources, there viii be no radi-
cal changes in the personnel of the var
ious departments, as the record made
by the present officials in every depart
ment has been very satisfactory. Mr..
Bancroft's position is the only elective
one outside of the president. The others
are appointed by the manager, subject
to the approval of the executive COM
mittee, of course. The reelection OF
Bancroft is an endorsement of the past
administration of Short Line affairs.
and therefore it is fair to assume that
the old heads viii be the moving force
under the new arrangement as we'll.
Messrs. Eccles and Burley are still in
Omaha, but it is expected they will get
hGme today, or tomorrow at the latest.
The Ogden gateway still continues to
be a subject for discussion. When
Manager Bancroft was questioned
about it, he shok his head, remarkinG
that he could say nothing that would
throw any light on the future inten-
tions of the men in control of the two
systems. The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the gateway will be
left open for some time, at least until
the new officials have had the oppor-
tunity to determine the practical re-
suits

ARE ANXIOUS TO GO.
Men of Battery Are Tired of Gar
rison puty.

Captain JENNINGS, in the course of
conversation with Herald representa-
tive before the unexpected order to
embark for Manila was received, said
that when the men first reached the
Preside they We're as enthusiastic
lot OF soldiers as ever camped on the
reservation. The long and tedious wait,
without arms or equipment, gradually
had its erect upon them, and when fin
ally it seemed certain that all the bat
terry could hope for was to he assigned
to barracks duty in California, they
became discouraged. Captain Jennings,
however, was hopeful mat the boys
would at least be sent TO Honolulu, and
from the first has worked unJiringly TO
improve the efficiency Of his battery.
The drills have been kept up until the
artillerymen go through the evolutons
like veterans, being only handicapped
now by the absence OF cannon.
Battery c has won the respect of all
the officers at the Preside By the eX-
ceilence OF its work and the gentle
manly conduct Of the men at all times.
In this latter respect the battery has
made the best record of any organiZa-
ton camDed at the Preside for the
same length OF time.
While small, the organization has at
tracted the attention of high military
authorities there, and has been comDn~
mented time and again.
The battery left Salt Lake 103 strong,
three men coming on later. 1t is COM
manded by Captain Frank W. Jen-
nings, with j. L. Murphy of Ogden
