RECRUITING IN FRANCE.
Ii Reveals the Root of the OppOsi-

From Chambers Journal.


Every year about 900 Frenchmen
reach the age of 20. After the physically
unfit, and ohters who are exempt have been
weeded out, the actual number of men 1e-
quired to maintain the standard strength of
the army is chosen by ballot, They spend
three years in the active army, and are
then dismissed from permanent service and
return to civil life. But for the following
ten years they are numberedgamong the
reserve of the active army, They are
then drafted into the territorial army for
six years, al the conclusion OF. which they
pass into the territorial reserve for an
other six years. Not until the age of 40
does a Frenchman become free from all
obligation TO the military, Service; for
thirteen years he is liable TO be, called upon
to serve either at home. or abroad, and
for the following twelve years to defend
his country against invaders !
No exemption can be purchased. I'm
less a conscript is exempt, either on the
ground of physique or for family reasons,
he is bound to serve his twenty five years.
Until 1880 there was class of conscripts

The early market this morning was

The early market this morning was
again disappointing to the bulls, with a
comparatively high opening and immedi-
ate recessions 10 figures below the lowest
of yesterday in the grangers and other
standard issues The market was unques-
tionably reactionary In its tendencies, but
il was difficult TO foretell how far the de-
clines would go. Some authorities were
OF the opinion that the recessions already
accomplished will be sufficient, and will
induce buying by the leaders and new
advance. On the other hand many con-
sidered this hope unfounded on any good
reasons. There was little evidence Of
support from the leaders in the buying.
The telegram received at the Navy De-
partment this morning from Admiral
Dewey stating that the Oregon should be
sent to him at once for political reasons"
was not a factor in the first hour as news
of il did not reach the Street until after
IL o'clock. 1t seemed probable, however,
that this also would be used as a bear ar
gument as 1t may be construed as of the
utmost Importance.

one years service. The extent TO which
conscription has militarized France may be
gathered from the fact that every fourth
male is serving or has served in the army.

many OF the holdings now in the grangers

be diverted into this group on the as
sumption that the standard railroad issues
have already reached sufficiently high fig
ures for the present. If this prediction is
well founded there can be no question that

The American Steel and Wire securities
were the features of the market this morn
ing, only sharing the general interest with
Tobacco. Both the common and the pre-
ferred stocks were bought heavily at the
opening, the common reaching IS in the
first quotations. Later these stocks went
off somewhat with the remainder of the
market hut they We're well held up. 1t is
now stated that there will almost surely
be a good dividend for the common stock
early this year though probably not in
April when the preferred will receive its
first installment. One estimate as TO the
earnings of the company is that there will
be for the first years business something
like S per cent for the common stock.

by the time the caucus is to be held.
The decision of the New York delega-
ton to support Mr.. Sulzer for this
nomination is regarded as merely com
planetary TO hi nd not likely to
lead to his beins hosen the party
leader. It is worth mentioning. how
ever. that he is the one member OF the
delegation who has been friendly 10 the
Chicago platform and a believer in
Bryan.
This may be significant Of the atti-
tude assumed of late by Tammany to-
ward Bryan.
The belief is very general that when
the democratic caucus convenes there
will be merely a formal contest. Rich
ardson and De Almond being the two
serious rivals, and that Richardson
will be chosen almost without a strug-
gle.
The announcement of committees by
the new speaker is expected to follow
very soon after the formaiity of the
election of officers, and it may be that
a fight over the adoption of the rules
will be organized by the minority, with
the hope of getting some support from
those republicans who want a radical
change. Almost at the outset of the
session it is anticipated that a business
caucus for the purpose of considering
a plan for legislation will be held by

SHALL PHOENIX BE BULLDOZED?
COMPETITION LOOKS GOOD.

The results of the struggle for sU-
premacy between the Hallwood Cash
Register Company and its opponents
which has been so successfully fought
out in the East by the Hallwood COM
pany is probably news in this section.
The contest has become a Veritable
chestnut in the East and the efforts of
the opposition to dissatisfy the users of
the Hallwood have reached a point
there where they are not only laughed
at but considered simply, NUISANCES.
All questions whatsoever regarding pat
ents have been fought out in the courts
and finally and irrevocably settled by
the court of last resort in the ST.
PREME COURT OF APPEALS AT
WASHINGTON, D. c., and the COM
missioner CT patents of the United
States government so instructed. How
ever, all users of Haliwood registers are
supplied with a bond as good as gold
which covers every phase of the situa-
ton. The contest has now settled down
to one of relative merits only and in all
such contests the Hallwood has come
off victorious. See challenge, How

Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 23.-CSpecial Cor
respondence Of The Republican, THE
death of Lieutenant Luna in the Phil
ippines by drowning was a shock to
his many acquaintance here. He was
in Tucson in August as recruiting of
ficer and received a number of enlist
ments for the Thirty fourth volunteer
infantry now in the thick of the fight
ing on the island of Luzon. The SOL
diers in the regiment from Tucson are
the following: Samuel Martin, Adolph
Pacheco. Owen Z. Murphy, Harry J.
Sheehan, Harry Hezekiah. Robert
and William Olinger.
Senator J. H. Carpenter of Yuma was
in the city on business today.
Miss Emma Johnson still leads in the
voting contest for maid of honor. Yes
terday her vote nearly doubled, so that
she is far ahead.
Andrew Carnegies offer to donate
$4,000 for library building, providing
the city viii give a site and $1,000 an
nualiy for the maintenance of the in
stitution, has aroused the public spirit
of our citizens, and there is no doubt
but that the conditions will be speedily
complied with. A meeting of the Ii
brary trustees was held last night to
discuss the matter and to take the pre-
liminary steps to insure the raising of
the guarantee. Public sentiment seems
10 be in favor OF the old school prop
erty on Congress street as the most
suitable location for the library build
