THE RAILROAD MEMS CLUB.
A LARGELY ATTENDED MEET.
ING LAST NIGHT.
The Club Needs More Room-An
Address by William
Lamphrey.

There was the usual large and en-
thusiastic attendance last night at the
meeting of the Railway Employees PO-
litical Club. Many new faces were no.
ticeable in the audience, which shows
that the Organization Committee are
still pursuing their work with beneficial
results.
Secretary Heffron read a communica-
tion from the President of the General
Advisory Board in San Francisco, ac-.
cepting the Sacramento clubs basis of
representation on said board-one rep
resentative for every $50 members.
He also read a communication from
H. L. Sanborn, Chairman of the Advi-
sorry Board, setting forth the true prin-
ciples and objects of the organization.
The matter was referred to the Exec
utive Committee, with instructions to
take as early action as possible.
The committee appointed to secure a
larger place for the clubs meetings re-
ported that they had as yet been un-
able to secure a larger and more COM
Portable hall than the one now being
used, and requested another week to
continue their investigation. Owing to
the increased attendance at the clubs
meetings 1t mas become imperative 10
secure more commodious accommoda-
tions therefor.
7. James was elected to fill the va
cancy Of Third Vice President created
by the resignation of William Ream.
c. Rust was elected Treasurer of the
club, eX-Treasurer Hilbert having been
removed on account of failure to attend
meetings regularly.
T. Latsking was elected Second AS
sistant Sergeant-at Arms, vice Nichols,
removed for similar reason.
William Lamphrey, candidate for
County Clerk, was called upon to ad-
dress the club, and responded with a
we'll appreciated and much applauded
speech. He spoke of the necessity for
railway men coming in closer contact
with one another for the purpose of
considering matters of common inter
est, with a view to the betterment of
their condition.
The meeting adjourned until naxt
Wednesday evening.

FRED SMITHS JUMP.
1t Was Off the Yolo Bridge Into
the River Below.

Fred. Smith made a jump yesterday
afternoon from the top of the Yolo
bridge into the river in an attempt at
suicide.
He sunk for a few moments, but soon
reappeared and his body floated down
stream for half a mile and he was
rescued by boatman. His head was
hurt, and he was dazed, but will sus-
tain no serious injury from his leap.
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital. and when asked last night why
he made the jump, said he did not
know. A sudden impulse came to him
on the bridge, and he obeyed it. He
did not know whether he intended to
commit suicide or not. The police think
that morphine, to which, he is addicted,
was the cause of his alteration.

THE HAY ARMY BILL.
Standing Force of 10000 Men-EnOr'
nous Cost of Army of 100000.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., December o.
The bill for the increase of the regular
army, which the minority of the House
Committee on Military Affairs will offer
as a substitute for the Hull bill, was
drawn by Representative Hay, Of Vir-
ginia, and is now in the hands Of the
War Department, where IN estimate Is
being made of the cost Of such a mill
tary establishment as 1t provides. The
bill, as drawn, provides for a standing
army Of 10000 men-l2, 900 artillery, 5000
infantry, 6,000 cavalry, engineer, ordnance
and signal corps, and a general STAFF.
EFFICIENCY VOLUNTEERS.
To meet the existing exigency for troops
I'm Porto Rico, Cuba, the Philippines,
Hawaii, and the Ladrones. the bill pro-
vides tha the President may ISSUE a pro-
clamation for $1,000 additional volunteer
troops, to be enlisted for two years. THESE
latter troops are to be commanded by
officers appointed by the President. The
organization IS to be the same as In the
regular army, Che strength Of the different
arms OF the service to be determined by
the President. The present volunteers
are TO be mustered out within sixty days
after the passage of he act, but Volun-
teer ORGANIZATIONS now In the service are
TO be given preference for enlistment III
the new volunteer army, if they so elect
within fifteen days.
Mr.. Hay will file the bill and the MI
nority report on the Hull bill tomorrow
with the Clerk Of the House.
OBJECTIONS TO HULL PLAN.
The main contention the report VIII
make for the minority plan, as against the
Hull bill for a standing army of 100000
men. IS that the future of the Philip
pines and Cuba are yet undetermined
hut that if the standing army is increased
10 100000. &c will be almost impossible, no
matter what may happen In he future
to reduce il.
Tbe report will say that p standing army
of 100. 600 men will cost the people OF the
United States S165,O00,00. This, added TO
the a45. 10000 for pensions, will bring the
| cost OF the military establishment up to
SSl0. OO0,O 900, the largest charge In the world
for 81 military establishment. The naval
establishment would bring the total up
| many millions more. Mr.. Hay estimates
that a standing army of 10000, with 5000
additional volunteers, would cost 100000
90 but his charge might continue only
for two years.
