Army of 100000 Favored by Root.

Army Of 100000 Favored by Root.
Secretary Root read and corrected
the latest proof sheet of his annual
report. The document has been sent
to the President to be used in his
recommendations to the army. Sec
rotary Root has made these import.
ant suggestions:
That the law be repealed which
provides that the existing organiza-
ton OF OF the army shall return in
1901 to it's status in April 1893, at the
time OF the outbreak of hostilities be-
tween the United States and SPAN.
Tho Secretary favors standing ar
my largely IN excess OF Gen. Miles
basis of one out Of every 1000 popu.
lation. This would mean standing
army OF only 1900. Secretary Root
suggests 100000 the number favored
by che administration leaders at the
last session Of Congress.
The Secretary criticises the army
staff and says that the system Is faul.
ty. The statement is made over the
protest Of Adjutant- General Corbin.
who maintains that the staff did OK.
cellent work in the late war.
Secretary Root insists that the staff
system should be recognized, but he
will have to overcome strong politi-
cal opposition il lac succeeds. The
Secretary, it is said, has in mind
moro particularly the commissary and
the quartermasters departments.
The report strongly recommends
reorganization of the artillery SER
vice. This is no reflection on that
branch, but it is in direct line with
the wishes OF the officers of the Ar
tillery. Mr.. Root proposes to revolu-
tionizo the ways and means by which
the splendid properties OF the Gov
eminent at coast defense stations
have been permitted to deteriorate.

CROKER ON TRUSTS.

Richard Croker, the Tammary pol
itician, thus expresses his views on
the trust proposition and his Lam
guage is quite plain enough for any
one to understands:
The trust business has gone too far.
The people have got about all they'll
stand. Nobody need worry about
the gas trust, or the other trusts.
, They are going to find out that they
have got to the end of their rope.
Nothing will count next year but
fights against the trusts.
Look at the country. Nobody ever
saw anything like it before. The
President is the head of the trust of
trusts. He is the manager of the
biggest trust that you could con.
ceive; the biggest that could live on
earth. It's trust for the political
exploitation of the United States.
Everything is organized to make
money out of the country. The cab
met is trust cabinet from top to
bottom. Every man in it is a trust
promoter or trust tool.
Look at the flag of this country.
They are making it cloak for steal
ing and trust advertisement. The
people will not stand that. The
army is recruited to make rich trusts
richer. The navy is managed and
Juggled to reward trust servants and
to punish the enemies of the political
trust of the United States of Amer
lea.
Talk Of political rottenness. Talk
about corruption. Nothing has ever
equaled this.
1t was bad enough when the Re.
pubhcans used their own money to
fight Democrats, but here Is a trust
government robbing every man in the
land, every Democrat and every other
man and using the stolen money to
keep these Democrats from any share
In the national go vernment
There will be trouble for the trust
thieves, do not doubt it for one min
ute. Nothing will count next year
but trusts.

ALASKAN EARTHQUAKES
A Larger Extent oSicoa.t L.n.An.et-
ed Than Ever BeforeSReported
In That Region.

The seven earthquakes that shook the
coasts, OF Alaska on September, and
10 were rInequaled in the historic pc
Rod in that region for tie extent of
coast line affected. Reports of the
shocks have been received from various
points between Juneau and the Aleu-
ton chain, distance of over 600 miles.
1t is we'll known that the effects of
earthquakes originating on the coasts
are often felt in the far interior of
continents, and it is not at all unlikely
that these shocks extended hundreds
of miles inland. In region like Alas
ka, where large areas are uninhabited,
severe earthquakes may sometimes oc-
cur without the facts ever becoming
known.
1t is said that q number of islands
along the coast near Yakutat bay, in
the neighborhood of Mount St. Elias,
have become submerged or have settled
in the water, and that the adjoining
coast line has perceptibly sunk, while
little distance out at sea the ocean bed
appears to have risen. While these re-
ports need confirmation, it may be said
that it is not uncommon for consider
able areas of the crust of the earth to
sink as the result of an earthquake.
One example that may be cited from
our own history is the New Madrid
earthquake of 1881, when the subter-
ranean disturbances resulted in the
subsistence of about 5000 square miles
of al!uvial lands along the Mississippi
river in what is now southeastern Mis-
souri, and northeastern Arkansas. The
subsistence was about ten feet and the
river poured into some of the depres-
sions, forming series of lakes.
y few hundred miles north of the re-
gion where this sudden subsistence and
elevation is said to have occurred in
Alaska the earth's crust has been rising
or Il considerable period. Echrinr sea
IS slowly becoming shallower. If this
tendency is continued, T.; tine will
cone when Behrmg sea, or large Parts
i i. will be dry land, and thus Asia
No North America may yet be united
above the sea level.
The known earthquakes in Alaska. rs
in the present instance. have occurred
along the line of volcanic Cores. and
rarti' 1rly in the Al2utian chain.
Over of these shocks have been re-
corded by the Russians ;:mh cur own
people. When va bought Alaska we
acquired an addition 10 our earthquake
territory. Canada throughout its great
domain has cor! aratirP - nifty
from this sort Of visitation, while W."
record from 20 to 40 earthquakes in n
year, most of which, however, do very
little damage, if any.-N. Y. Sun.

hoarseness, and in child subject to

becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-

TELEPHONE TO DEER ISLE.
"Hello" Line May Soon be Extended
Across Eggemoggin Reach.

''Hello' Line May Soon be Extended
Across Eggemoggin Reach.
| Deer Isle may soon be connected with
the outside world by telephone. The
| New England Telephone and Telegraph
| Co. contemplates extending it's lines
| across the Eggemoggin reach from Sar-
gentvile. Last week A. +. Jacobs, Of
Portland, general superintendent of con-
struction in Maine, and George H. Grant,
OF Ellsworth, manager for this section,
made trip to Deer Isle to look over the
field.
Mr.. Grant told THE AMERICAN re-
porter Monday that while he had not yet
made his report to headquarters, he
would recommend the extension Of the
lines to the island. He believes his
recommendation will be adopted, and
that cable will be laid across the reach
from Sargentville. Pay stations will then
be established at North Deer Isle, Deer
Isle village and Stonington.
This would not in any way be in COM
petition with the present local telephone
system, but on the contrary would be an
advantage to it. In fact the managers of
the local system desired themselves to ex-
tend their line across the reach to make
connection With the New England system,
but as this would necessitate two tolls
being charged, Mr.. Grant believes the
extension Of the New England lines to
the island Will be more satisfactory.
There Will be no direct connection with
t he local system, which is only adapted
for local communication, and the instru-
ments i'll use would be useless for long
distance communication. The extension
OF the New England system to the island
will merely give Deer Isle communication
with the outside world, just as though no
local system existed, though of course
arrangements may be made whereby sub
scribers to the local company may have
messages transferred and forwarded by
the new line.
The New England Telephone and Tele-
graph Co. has been making many i'm
provements in this section during the
past few years; more, in fact, than in any
other section of the State. The lines have
reached out into western Hancock county
and throug hout Mt. Desert island, until
there is not a town of Importance in
these sections Of the county without
service. But in Wesk:-.... county, lne
most rapid advancement has been made.
The lines have been gradually extended
from Ellsworth until last fall copper
circuit was opened through to Calais.
Mr.. Grant said Monday that the COM
pany had been agreeably surprised by the
volume of business done on the Washing
ton county lines. The line through to
Calais was advocated by Mr.. Grant twelve
years ago. He has also long advocated
the extension of the line to Deer Isle,
and believes such line will prove as sue
cessful as the Washington county line
already has proven.
