Secretary AlGer Adopts New R"ie
Regulating Discharges.


| Washington. Jan. 16.-Secretary AL
ger has been obliged to make new rule
to prevent the reduction of the army be-
low the point of safety through the DIS
charge of enlisted men upon applica-
ton. Every time regiment of volun-
teer troops is ordered to move toward
Cuba or Porto Rico or the Philippines
or indeed in any direction there is
flood of applications at the war depart
ment from the friends and relatives OF
number of the private soldiers, sec
onded in many cases by the representa-
tives in congress from the district
where the volunteer regiment is re-
cruited. requiring the immediate dis
charge of certain soldiers.
So long as the war department was
willing to bring the army down in num-
Der to peace basis it was able to grant
many of these applications, but now
that there is need for nearly all Of the
men in the army and in the absence
of action by congress toward replacing
the volunteers by regulars the depart
ment is obliged to hold on to the men.
Accordingly Secretary Alger has
adopted the rule in dealing with APP
plications for discharge that even where
they are sanctioned by the company
commanders they cannot be granted, II
to do so would be to reduce the strength
of the company below the minimum fix
ed by law. To carry out still further
the precautionary measure it is also
ordered that no applications for dis
charge be entertained once regiment
has received orders to move

Columbus, O., Jan. 16.-It develops
that Colonel Colt and the officers of the
Fourth Ohio volunteer infantry We're
correct in their Interpretation of the
order regarding certain deductions to be
made from the pay of the men, and a
meeting of business men was held to
take some steps to prevent the carry
ing out of the order, which would mean
the loss of $1,000 to each man. Govern
or Bushnell was present and after con-
sultation telegraphed the paymaster
general that the state had paid the
amount once and would rather pay it
again than have it deducted from the
pay of the troops. The payment of the
troops was postponed to permit an ad
justment of the controversy.

FEW STATUES TO WOMEN.
Not More Than Fifty in Honor Of
Center Sex.


In several portions of the Autsor-
Hungarian empire monuments are
about to be raised by public subscrip-
ton 10 the late Empress Queen Eliz-
abeth, according to the Buda- pesth
correspondent of the New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
All told, there are all the world over
not fifty monuments, as far as ] can
discover, raised to women. This plastic
paucity, as far as the daughters OF Eve
are concerned. is the more glaring
when we take into consideration the
fact of there being more monuments
raised To his imperial Teutonic Majesty
Emperor Wilhelm l than to all the
famous women put together. And yet
neither antiquity, medievalism nor the
epoch making age in which we live has
been poor in famous expresses, queens,
poetcsses, amazons. lady philanthro-
pists and nondescript heroines, whose
several achievements have won them
imperishable fame and the undying
gratitude of millions.
Take. for instance, the case of
Queen Elizabeth of England. There ex-
lists at the present day not a single
memorial 10 Good Queen Bess," the
proverbiality of her intrinsic admins
istrative virtues Notwithstanding. And

ity was the first and only monument

AN ABDUCTION CASE.
"A case of somewhat sensational
nature came to light in Manchester to-
day, involving the reputation of one of
the prettest girls in Dinwiddie. Mr..
Joseph Townsend and Miss Ellie Gum.
OF Dinwiddie county, started to Wash
ington last week, with the expressed
intention of getting married. They got
as far IT'S Richmond, and stopped with
relative of the bride-that- wanted to-
be, and they came to Manchester Fri
day and the young man was intro
duced ut the residence of the prospec-
tive brides uncle, at Fourth and De-
catur streets. as the husband of the
young woman, where they remained
until Sunday night.
The uncle grew suspicious and com
munlcated with Petersburg authori-
ties, having been told that the marriage
had taken place there. The Petersburg
people stated that no such license had
been granted in that city. and upon
this information the assistance of the
Manchester police was invoked. and
Townsend was arrested on the charge
of abduction on the promise of mar
riage.
He appeared in the Mayors Court
this morning, and the case went over
one day for witnesses, the accused go
ing to Jail in the meantime. Neither
party will say anything in reference to

probably be on hand Tomorrow, when
