NO MORE ENL1srMENrs.
The President Does Not See the Need
of More VOlunteers

The President has apparently determined
to adhere to his decision not to take advan-
tage of the authority given to him by the
Army Reorganization act to raise force
OF $4,000 volunteers to serve until 1901
There will be no demand for any large in
crease in the Philippines army for six
months, the time within which the volun-
teers serving there must be mustered out.
If the insurrection has not been suppressed
before the expiration of that period the
President will probably direct the enlist
ment of volunteers then in the islands.
! The only present intention of the Govern
ment in regard to the provisions for vol
unteer force of 35 900 men is TO establish
rural constabulary systems in Cuba, Porto
Rico, and perhaps in the Philippines. In
der the terms of the reorganization act
the provisional army may be composed en-
trely of natives OF the new possessions of
the United States. An experiment has
already been undertaken by General Henry
in Porto Rico of enlisting a battalion of
natives. and it is intended to use this small
organization as the nucleus for the estab-
lishment of rural police force. General
Brooke has authority to organize bat
talon Of Cubans for the same purpose. In
its desire TO obtain information in regard
to the adaptability of natives of the Phil
ippines Admiral Dewey was asked to give
his opinion as to the advisability of enlist
ing Filipinos in the Army and Navy and
employing them in civilian capacities. The
Admirals letter has just been received by
Secretary Long. 1t is dated Manila Feb
ruary %, 1899. and is in part as follows:

the natives into the service of the Govern
ment have never been lost sight OF and

lieved to be in the Filipino ranks. / am
unable to state how much of this will be
due to intimidation and forcible Impress

some few who returned and from the fact
that nearly all of those who live in the

The great body Of the American people

Taking advantage of situation that is
by no means permanent and which makes
Europe instead OF America cry cut for
more silver, Secretary Hay, writing with
the approval Of the President, assumes an
air OF indifference when the Bank of Eng
land man urges this Government TO take
the initiative for a new International silver
conference. Perhaps this pose is intended
for home influence. but neither that nor
repeated obituaries of the cause of silver
can influence the attitude of the Democra-

Science methods to politics. By telling the
Democrats that there is no silver question
the Republicans hope to persuade them
that it does not exist; but they are more
likely to draw other inferences from the
obvious anxiety of the healers.

AS SEEN BY MINE woRKERs.
John SHtchelPs Testimony before
the IuduntriaI Cammis.ian

The investigation of the mining indus
try by the Industrial Commission was con-
tinued yesterday with John Mitchell. of
is President Of the Association of United
Mine Workers of America. He was par
ticulariy bitter against court injunctions
and said that this form OF procedure had
done more 10 lessen the respect of the
laboring people for the dignity OF jurists
than anything else.
AT present there are 397. .90i In the coun-
try, 20 per cent Of whom are members of
unions. The contracts OF the miners as
sociatton. he said, are open to all the min
ers. whether they belong to any organiza-
ton or not. The non-union members are
as ready to strike as the members. The
employers dictate the terms OF all con-
tracts, which the miners have to accept.
The operators, however. prefer to make
the contracts with the unions as whole
and not with individual members.
According to Mr.. Mitchell, the capacity
OF the American coal mines is from 80 to
40 per cent greater than the consumption,
SO that the miners do not have employ
ment more than two-thirds OF the year.
The largest strike In the history OF coal
mining occurred in 1891 when the coal
miners we're on strike eighty-four days.
and then the miners worked more days
than they did the year before when there
was no strike.
The custom of having companies stores
at the mines, Mr. Mitchell said, was almost
universal, and was also universally con-
demned by the miners. He recommended
the passage of law by Congress whereby
the Government would purchase nothing
not manufactured under the eight hour
law. Restriction OF immigration was also
a matter which Mr.. Mitchell thought should
receive immediate attention at the hands
of Congress-

TESTING THE EoPHoNE.
Success OF an Instrument to Locate
Noises in n Fog.

NoiSeS III n fOs
New York. April 1.-THE eophone. an
instrument used to ascertain the direction
of sound in a fog, was given a semi Off
cial and very successful test yesterday on
the Government steamer Daniel 5. Lamont.
The Government tug Argus assisted in the
test
An operator. blindfoIded in the Lamont's
pilot house, was able, with the aid of the
eophone to locate the direction of the Ar
gus when the latter whistled more than
mile away. The location of a tug steam
ing up the bay was also fixed by the sound
of the vessels exhaust The eophone pick
ed up this sound and magnified it, denot-
ing at the same time the exact direction
from which it came.
A very simple device is the eophone. II
consists of a vertical hollow shaft or rod.
the lower end of which is pivoted on a
standard in the pilot-house. Attached to
the lower end of the shaft or rod is a hor-
izontal disk or wheel on which are marked
the points and fractions of points OF the
compass. The brass hollow shaft runs
through a hole in the roof OF the pilot
house and several feet above it. To the
top of the shaft, and at right angles with
II. like the cross in capital letter T. is
attached a piece OF wood that resembles in
shape a section of a railroad rail about
two feet long.
To each side of the wooden cross section
and parallel with it is attached a small
metal funnel and in the mouth of each
funnel are several disks of silk. The OBJ
ject of these disks is to keep out the
wind, while admitting the sound. The
small ends of the tunnels communicate
through holes in the wooden cross section,
with the hollow brass shaft, and holes in
house. communicate with two flexible tubes
or sound conductors. which in turn are at
tached TO receivers, strapped to the ears
of the operator.
The operator stands directly back of the
instrument. When at rest the wooden cross
at the top. with the two tunnels attached,
points fore and aft. and the two tunnels
open forward. BY moving the Horizontal
disk attached to the vertical hollow shaft
the operator can move the right hand fun
mel so that it points a little to starboard
II there is any sound on that side the Ope-
rator will get il in his right ear. Pads OF
rubber fit tightly around his ears SO as to
cut off any sound other than that coming
through the instrument. II the sound is on
the port side he gets il through The lett
ear. and by turning the disk he can ex-
actly locate the direction of the sound by
its volume.
All of the United States revenue cutters
have been supplied with these instruments
under the Congressional appropriation or
SIS 600. 1t is expected to prove boon to
nayigators in thick weather.
