and Territories look after the well-being Of
organizations composed OF their citizens
and bearing their names. The English
even introduce local names and local re-
cruitIng into their regular regiments, and
1t has often been proposed to do this in our
own army. Even in the navy, where there
Is no attempt at getting a ships compile
ment all from tho same locality, the naming
of vessels after States and cities is recog-
nized as good thing.
But drawbacks go with the advantages
In state regiments. One Ia the pressure to
transfer existing local organizations of Off
GERS and men in body to the volunteers,
even II neither officers nor men as whole
nre mp to the highest standard Of qualiflca-
tions. Another Is the liability to have in
fiucnce excrtcd for assigning such organiza-
tions to particular work, or for favorng
them in one way or another. The plan now
adopted Is not exposed to these objections.
The men will be subjected to strict tests, in
order that they may be able to undergo the
hardships OF tropical campaigning. The
officers can be chosen on their attested
merits. and the commanders thus far APP
pointed for the ten regiments are all OF the
all applicants for commissions, except off,
GERS OF the regular army, must pass n salts
factory examination and must have had ser
vice during the Spanish-American war.
The Importance OF securing trained and
experienced officers is enormous. Taken
with the strict rules OF enlistment, it in
sures us the next best thing to an addition
OF twelve new regiments to tho regular
army; and, indeed, the regulation that the
ten in this country shall be numbered from
26 to 80 inclusive, thus following the
twenty-five regular infantry regiments, is
not only matter OF convenience but may
perhaps seem to be n recognition that these
new organizations will deserve to be put on
footing with regulars.
The headquarters of the ten regiments
the country that the nearest recruiting
stations can be convenient feeders to Them
and, OF course, they themselves will rc-
ccivc recruits directly. To certain ex-
tent, therefore, local pride and interest will
still be preserved in the new regiments,
although not strictly bounded by State
lines. But, as in the regular army, num-
bers of regiments will become names, and
names to be proud of, and to be remem-
bered in history.
The popular sentiment in favor of giving
Gen. OTIs n sufficient force to work with is
overwhelming, and the President will be
fully backed up by it in the step he has just
taken. The admirable system adopted for
raising the new regiments gives assurance
not only that they will be the most efficient
possible on volunteer basis, but also
that they will DO made ready for service
quicker than on any other plan. AS soon
as the headquarters Of each regiment are
ready and its officers selected, streams of
recruits will begin pouring in from the
various stations, and the process of drilling
and preparing will begin. BY degrees che
troops will go forward TO the Philippines,
and when the next campaigning season
opens Gen. OTIS should have force enough to
sweep all before him.

The Boundary Deadlock.

The tidings which came u few weeks
ago regarding the prospective agree
ment of Ambassador CHoATE and Lord
SALISBURY upon temporary Alaskan
boundary line, have given way to forcbOd-
ings Of failure, and the latest news is that
the negotiations are almost at a deadlock.
The difficulty arises from the peculiar
value of the region The area in dispute
has been narrowed until it is now measured
by our claim to having the division
line two miles north OF Klukwan, on tho
Dalton trail, and Canada's to having 1t run
just below that village. The interval is u
mining region, and the Dominion is per-
sistent in trying to secure it. while ex-
pressions of sentiment on the Pacific coast
have shown that our people fully under
stand the Importance Of retaining the con-
troll of that region ourselves.
1t may be suggested that since the ar
rangemcnt is to be merely IA modus piretdi,
which neither invalidates nor in any way
prcjudices the rights of either side as to
the permanent boundary, a settlement
need not be despaired Of This no
doubt is true; but the miners and others
Immediately Interested distrust even
temporary concession on the part Of their
respective Governments. Then, as to
tho Inconvenience caused, we certainly
suffer no more than Canada from de-
lay. Half dozen railway projects be-
fore the Ottawa Parliament have been
blocked by the Governments decision not
to grant any more charters to roads going
into the Yukon district from points in tho
disputed territory. 1t fears that by char
tcring road with terminus at Pyramid
Harbor which is now under our control, it
will help to build up another American city
as Skagway was built up.
The truth is, however, that it was pre-
post2rouS for the Dominion to expect
Pyramid Harbor to be yielded to it under
the mOdus rirendi. That would have given
it n port on Lynn Canal and have broken
up our otherwise complete control of the
coast We have held not only Pyramid
Harbor, but every part of Lynn Canal, and
it does not appear that we demand any
thing now which is not virtually based on
active or constructive possession.
Tho diplomatic deadlock may hold out
little promise of the early assembling of
the Joint High Commission, which had OK
pectcd to come together next month, pro-
vdcd this obstacle to its work should
meanwhile have been cleared away by the
action Of the Governments of London and
Washington. However, there are still
weeks to spare for considering the Alaska
boundary question.

Very few people, comparatively knew
the real qualities OF ROBERT BONNER. who died
on Thursday. He was known to the public
mainly as the founder of most successful
weekly periodical. the Ledger. and more par
tcularly as an enthusiast for trottng horses
whose thoughts and energies seemed almost
wholly concentrated upon that fancy. Mr.
BONNER was n man Of great force. Of intense
convictions and feelings strong affection. and
vigorous public spirit. and beneath his avoca-
tions man OF strong interest in public affairs
and understanding of them. He had been a
personal and valued friend Of many dstin-
guished mon. His SUCCESS in life, spent almost
wholly in this city. showed the shrewdness and
surety Of his Judgment. and in him New York
lost one OF its worthest citizens.
