Russia,s Advance Southwark.

The reported arrival Of a force Of Rus
sian troops at Fort Murghabi, on the upper
part Of the Murghab River, with the inten-
ton Of pushing forward to Sirikol, at the
southern limit OF the Great Pamir, is prob
effective occupation Of the Russian frontier
in Asia in case of general international
complications.
1t has been apparent that as the Siberian
railway neared completion Russian activity
in Central Asia would be renewed, and that
sooner or later the Russian and British
Governments must come to an arrangement
for the eventual partition of Afghanistan,
or there would be danger of a clash Of
arms. For some little time past the Noroe
VremyG and other Russian papers have
been urging the rights of Russia to a com-
mercial outlet for her central Asian trade
somewhere on the coast OF Persia, and adj
vocating that an arrangement should be
come to with England on the subject. One
article recently pointed out that the west
ern boundary Of British India was not
necessarily limited by the meridian Of Herat,
and that some other line mutually s~atisfac-
tory to the two countries might be found.
~ Lh6iioh NONCL LOL VIC
English press made any response to this
suggestion, which still remains a Russian
newspaper opinion.
The occupation Of Sirikol, II it is really
intended, may be considered as a counter
move to the British occupations Of Hunza,
Yasin and other points in northwestern
Kashmir in the direction OF Sirikol, by
which place a road coming from the south
would mount into the Great Pamir. Explor-
ing parties nave been for several years past
studying the topography Of the unoccupied
country between the definitely established
spheres Of both countries. and it is now to
be expected that both sides must arrive at
some conclusions as to the eventual from
tier dividing their possessions.
The last news by mail from India in re-
gard to this matter was that the new Vice
roy, Lord CURzoN, was engaged in a seri-
Gus study OF the whole frontier question.
The only thing that would give color to the
supposition that the reported Russian
movement Is other than peaceful, Is the
fact Of its occurrence at the season OF the
year when travel and transportation are
most difficult.

No Prosperity for the Colonel.

In the course Of his tour Of the principal
towns, cities and villages, COL. BRYAN ap.
peared at Houston, Tex, last week, and
addressed the people in the Auditorium.
The people gathered to the number Of 600,
and the dispatches say that many were
unable to get In. Either the Texas audito.
RUINS are small or the Colonel's prices are
too high for "the producing classes"
But the Colonel was great, even il the
house was small. He declared that the
Chicago platform still stood, and that he
still stood on 1t. These important facts
were known before the Colonel went to
Houston. He proceeded to unfold some
things not generally known. He denied
that prosperity had come, and defied the
Republicans to &C before the people on the
platform that we advertised prosperity
and we have found it."
The Republican party has found pros
perity. The country has found prosperity,
although the Colonel deniges of it. The
facts are too much for him. Business
booms, wages go up, but the Colonel
whimpers that he CAM see any prosperity.
There isn't any in his business, which is to
assert that everybody but the plutoorate
is being ruined by the gold standard.
"Confound you'll" says the Colonel to the
country, cant you see how poor and mis-
cradle you are2 You can't be prosperous
until you have Sixteen to One. Consider
your wretched condition. Come and let us
have a good wall together and throw Ian
guage at the Money Power"
So the Colonel; and his melodramaticc oun-
t. z----I Ia l.
turns his lachrymal ducts into his pipes.
But the country slaps its pocketbook
jovially and advises the Colonel to go and
look for work. The calamity dodge is
played out.
The Colonel, however, is sincerely un-
prosperous. His speeches are very white
about the elbows. AS a statesman he is
already in the shabby genteel class. The
better the country does, the worse 1t is
for the Colonel.

Getting the Army Ready.

The military authorities are busily en-
gagged in re~organizing the army under pro-
visions made by Congress at the last session.
Section IL Of the act runs AZ follows:
THAT to meet the present eIiRencies of the mill
tary service the President ia hereby authorized to
maintain the regular army at q strength of not ex-
oeed!ng 5000 enlisted men. to be distributed
among the several branches Of the service, includ-
ing the Signal Corps. according to the needs Of each,
and raise Q force Of not more than 35, 600 volun-
teers, to be recruited. as he may determine. from the
country at large or from the localities whore their
services are needed. without restriction 90 to citizen
ship or educational qualifications"
The act proceeds to declare that the vol
unteers shall be organized into thirty reei-
ments, twenty-seven as infantry and three
as cavalry. enlisting for two years and four
months. unless one discharged, and that
both they and all the regulars In excess of
the force authorized prior to April /, 1898,
shall continue in service "only during the
necessity therefor" and for a period ending
not later than July 1, 1901.
The first conclusion reached, therefore,
has been to begin by raising the $4,000
regulars. This step will have several
advantages. First, the organization for
piiAc poApNoV 70 pboSbASAiiy COulDlOUC1 tIlo
recruits going into the existing forty
two regular regiments, of which twenty
five are infantry, ten cavalry and seven
artillery. The only change in the army
organization made by the new law Is the
addition OF two battalions to each Of the
artillery regiments, making fourteen bat
teries in all, and even this is accompanied
by provisions for absorbing the extra Sec
ond Lieutenants nov attached to the regi-
ments. The law alSo provides for continu-
ing the twelve-company or three-battalion
infantry organization, but that already ex-
lists under the act of April %, 1893, and
the Officers have been supplied for 1t.
Again, that act Of April, 1898, provides
for about $4,000 enlisted regulars, and
the present act for So, 900, so that the
line officers for the new army are to a
great extent commissioned and under pay,
whereas, II the President should begin
the work by raising the SO, 900 volunteers,
many hundreds of extra officers would have
to be supplied. Besides this question of
cost, We have that OF efficiency In the educa-
tion and experience of the regular officers,
and, finally, recruits can more quickly be
trained and put into the field In old regular
than In new volunteer regiments. OF new
Second Lieutenants there are to be IoI.
Section 8 Of the new act prescribes that
the Adjutant-General's and Inspector-Gen
