Viously this occasion, as well as the con-
federate Memorial day, has been observed

WANTS A GAS PLANT.


NEW YORK, April 11.-Mayor Van Wyck
seat a message to the Municipal Assembly
to-day, in which he said: 1T is in the in
terest of the city of New York that the
municipality should establish and maintain
plant for supplying gas both to the city
and its inhabitants. The municipal owner
ship of gas plants is not a matter of ex-
pertinent Such plants are I'm successful
operation in cities in this country and in
Europe. 1 am crediby informed that such
n plant can be maintained so as to yield
q handsome profit 10 the city and at the
same time supply gas to- the public at a
rate of about 10 cents per 1,000 feet. Legis-
lative authority is necessary to enable the
city to establish and carry out such a gas
plant In order that the position of the city
may be definitely understood L request that
both houses of the MUr'cipal Assembly pass
a resolution calling on the Legislature to
give such statutory authority as may be
necessary TO enable the city TO construct
and operate a gas plant for the purpose of
supplying gas TO the city and Inhabitants,
with authority TO acquire by purchase or
condemnation proceedings any existing
plant suitable for the purpose"

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
An Order Making Important Changes
May he Issued To-day.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-An order has
been prepared at the War Department for
a reorganization of the army on a peace
basis and 1t probably will be issued to-mor-
row. Most of the general officers of the vol
unteer establishment will be mustered out
and radica! changes made i'm the staff de-
partments of the same, including the dis
charge of about sixty paymasters. With the
exceptions of Generals Otis, Shafter, Law
ton and Macarthur, all the volunteer major
generals will he discharged, including Cen
erals Wade. Wilson, Lee, Wheeler, Bates,
Young. Chaffee, Anderson, Sumner, Ludlow,
Henry and Wood. OF the above list all but
Generals Wheeler Lee and Wilson hold
commissions of a lower grade i'm the regu-
lar army and consequently will not neces-
sariy have to relinnuish their present COM
mands. Under its reorganization the army
is entitled 10 two additional major generals
and Generals Otis and General Shafter have
been chosen for these appointments
Law officers of the government are dis
cussing. in the light of the Presidents
proclamation announcing the conclusion of
peace the question of mastering out the
volunteer army. 1t is agreed that the law
will be construed to mean that the muster
out of the troops shall be upon orders of
the executive, ana tfldL necessarily tnere
must be a delay of a month or so in the
discharge of the volunteers. Meantime they
will receive their pay and allowances.
In accordance with precedent established
at the close of the civil war, few Of the
volunteer organizations may be retained in
the service for some time although those
who desire TO return home will be permitted
to do The law authorities hold that in
order that the volunteers in the Philippines
may remain in the service in accordance
with the provisions of the army law passed
by last Congress, they must re-enist, not
as organizations, but as individuals The
organizations and individuals who choose
10 go with them must be mustered out in
| this country. These individual volunteers
who re-enlist in the Philippines will receive
| not only the two months extra pay pro-
vided for on their discharge from the army.
but also travel pay from this country to the
| Philippines and return, amounting to about
$500 The war officials have decided that it
would be more desirable to take a trained
soldier in the Philippines than to send that
soldier home and return a raw recruit.
If the applications for discharges are any
criterion 1t Is evident that the volunteers in
the Philippines are not anxious to remain
and will take advantage of the law TO de-
mand their muster out. The effect of the
proclamation declaring peace will be felt by
| enlisted men in the regular army to the ex-
| tent Of a reduction of 20 per cent. in pay.
