Well, We. don't want his permission. 1t is
not needed.
'Mr. Hart has assured some innocent

COL. GRIGSBY HAS A PLAN.
Proposes n Volunteer Army of 10000
for the Philippines.

CHICAGO, February S.-Colonel Melville
Grigsby of the Sd United States Volunteer
Cavalry, better known during the war with
Spain as "Grigsby's Cow Boys" passed
through Chicago en- route to Washington
to confer with congressman about proposed
comprimose provisions of the army bill In
an interview, he said:
Il have been in correspondence with many
of the representatives, and senators relative
to my plan of a suggestion for the army
Eill. l would have the government indicate
its policy with regard to the Philippines
by recruiting an army of 5o,00O volunteers
to serve for three years instead of increas-
ing the size of the regular army. The mere
fact that the soldiers would be recruited
for a period of three years would show
that the administration was not bound to
any fixed or permanent policy with regard
to the islands. There is always an objec-
ton to the enlargement of the regular
army, for the latter has been and always
will be a serious problem for reduction,
because of the difficulty in selecting those
to be mustered out. With volunteers the
matter would be simplified. l am led to be-
lieve that there may be a disposition to
adopt my plan as a compromise measure"

Mr.. F. 3. Walker was among the early
ones to lose, but was not altogether respOn
sible. for the whole business of the affair
was on his shoulders, and at no time in the
early contest was he perfectly free to at
tend strictly to his game and was called
on constantly, with and without cause, to
attend to other matters.
Mr.. Pillsbury won in the twenty games
that went to him from a good many very
good players. In fact nearly all that lost
are rated as above the average. AT the
same time the contest in no sense repre-
sents a contest of the playing strength Of
the club against the visitor. The older
members especially he'd back and allowed
visitors to have places, so that the strength
OF the club was not represented, among
others by Messrs. E. p. Hanna, S. c.

No additional cases Of smallpox were re-

would be wise for all persons who have
not lately been vaceinated to undergo the

side. In this connection, it was stated to-
day that the Commissioners have directed
Superintendents Powell and Cook of the

all pupils to show that they have been
vaccinated is strictly enforced, as a pre-

there is cause for any general alarm
