there is little necessity for a strong

WASHINGTON, March 11.-One of the
paragraphs Of the reorganization army
act contains authority for the re-enlist-

the Philippines. It was stipulated that
these troops should be 30 re-enlisted
only for period of time necessary to

services of the officers of the volunteer
regiments as we'll as Of the enlisted men
until the troops can be replaced by reg

Military Rule in Cuba to Give Way to
- Civil Government. a"~~
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE admin
istration is contemplating change in
some features of the government of
Cuba. It is probable that the military
government will, to certain extent be
reduced by civil government. The head
of the government must. of course, re-
main military, but the change in con-
temptation is to have civil officers in
place of military men in the cabinet
and subordinate positions. It is be-
lieved that experts in different lines,
such as finance and revenue, and the
management Of much of the gen.
eral business of the island and of
the different municipalities, will
get along more smoothly than the
army officers. It is said that the
officers. being bronQht mn nudar
strict military discipline, hold not only
the statutes, but the army rules and
regulations as the guide in all things,
while the civilian officers would hold
tn. statutes. as the supreme guide, and
endesvor to get along under them in
the best manner possible, and with more
diplomacy than is possessed by the
army men. It is not known whether
the contemplated change has reached a
point further than discussion in the war
department and with the president, but
the advantages have been pointed out,
and the authority of the government to
establish such q civil government under
control of the military government has
been determined.

The $50. 900 represents tho difference
between the sum total paid the troops
at Camp Ramsey, according to the
United States rate, and the total which
they would have received had tho pro-
visions of the state military code been
followed, including the eight or nine
days between the date of the governors
Call and the muster into the army.
There was little objection to appro-
priating the money, the discussion'being
mainly on the question Of q proper divi-
sion of the sum. It was finally agreed
that the militiamen would be paid only
for the actual number of days they were
in camp previous to mastering in.
In Committee Of the Whole.
The following bills on general orders
were recommended to pass:

session.
S. F. 1872, McKusick-To prevent
mutilation of horses.
H. F. 357, Dwinnell-To provide for
the incorporation of bridge companies.
The house killed the bill introduced
by Mr.. Gutterson, which memorialized
congress to provide bridge over the

draw span, as there was no navigation
above that point.

BENEFITS OF COMBINING.
Estimated Saving by the Proposed Coal
Deaf II geo, 100000.
NEW YORK, March 1O.--The Times
says: Wall street has recently done
much figuring and calculating on the
benefits which the several coal-carry-
Ing companies are to secure through the
new anthracite deal. It is estimated by
coal trade authorities that through the
general agreement, about 40 cents ton
will be saved in the production and
marketing of coal. Upon the basis of a
80, ZOO, 900 ton annual output, this means
q $2O, OO0, 900 annual saving for the COM
panies. This will, of course, benefit
them in the ratio Of their percentage of
the output. Reading produces about 81
per cent. which means saving for that
company of more than $4,OO0,00O an.
nually; Lehigh Valleys per centage is,
roughly speaking, l5A, and Jersey Gen.
trails IN.
Az as instance of what this economy
means to the coal companies, the latter
road is good illustratiN. Jersey Gen.
trail will on this basis, save in the pro-
duction and marketing of its coal some
2,800, 900 per annum. Last year the
company earned for its stock 81 ,032, 900.
These two items added-earnings at the
rate Of last year and economies at tho
rate Of 40 cents per ton-show net earn

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maneutly. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
