Provisions of the Law Authorizing
Their Being Mustered In.

1t has been proposed that. in the event
of the failure of the Hull army reorganiza-
ton bill to pass, q resolution be passed
extending the present war organization of
the regular army. 1t has also been sug-
gested that there might be attached to
this resolution authority for the President
to continue In service such numbers of
the volunteers may be required to gar
r!son the islands which have come into the
possession of the United States.
The law authorizing the calling into ser
vice of volunteers and the proclamation of
the President specified that these men
should be called into service for the war
with Spain in the following words:
Act approved April %, 1895 to provide for
temporarily increasing the military estab-
lishment of the United States in time of
war, and for other purposes.
Section Z. That the organized and active
land forces of the United States shall con-
sist of the army of the United States and
OF the militia of the several states when
called into the service of the United States:
Provided, That in time OF war the army
shall consist of two branches which shall
De designated, respectively, as the regular
army and the volunteer army of the United
States.
Section f. That the volunteer army shall
be maintained only during the existence of
war, or while war is imminent, and shall be
raised and organized, as in this act pro-
yided, only after Congress has or shall have
authorized the President to raise such a
force or to call into the actual service of
the United states the militia of the several
States: Provided, That all enlistments for
the volunteer army shall be for the term
OF Two years, unless sooner terminated, and
that all of1icers and men composing said
army snail be discharged from the service
OF the United States when the purposes for
which they are called into service shall
nave been accomplished, or on the con-
clusion of hostilities.
1t is claimed, from the wording of this
law and from the understanding of all
these men who accepted service in this
war, that 1t would be manifestIy an act
OF PAD iaith on the part of the government
to hold the volunteer regiments in Tho
Philippines Cuba and Porto Rico after the
signing of the treaty of peace beyond n
reasonable time necessary TO provide trans
portation and to relieve them with gar
risons enlisted for service IN the army

CRISIS FOR SCOTCH WHISKY.
Immense 0verprOduction Caused Ac-
cumuIation of q Great SurnIus

Consul Fleming, from Edinburgh, reports
to the State Department a serious crisis in
the whisky trade in Scotland. This is at
tributed to the immense overproduction,
which has by gradual accumulation placed
the surplus stock of over 13T. 100000 gall
Ions of whisky i'm the bonded warehouses
of the United Kingdom.
Years ago the large distilleries in individ-
ual ownership, or in the hands Of a few
men, proved enormously remuneratfve. and
this tempted the promoter into the field
Within few years the number of distil-
Ief1es in the United Kingdom has reached
1S4, of which 143 are in Scotland. The new
distilleries are nearly all immense concerns
and production has been pushed to the Mt
most Consequently, the supply on hand
has run far ahead of home consumption
and the export trade combined
To cheaper production the introduction of
American Indian corn has been resorted to-
grain spirits being produced at from % to
30 cents gallon a., against 40 cents for ma II
whisky. The blends have been kept uD to
the standard price averaging 81 a gallon
IN bond. Under the impression that tho
market would expand with production. the
distilleries have been kept running al run
capacity, but the immense surplus has been
more than the trade could carry. and there
mas been sharp break in wholesale prices
while immense financial interests have been
invoked to prevent a panic in the trade.

THE TIN PLATE INDUSTRY
MI. John Jarrett's Views of the Lately
Organized Trust.
Benefits Resulting From It's FOrma-
ed Machinery-The Outlook.

The formation of the various great trusts,
embracing. as they already do. almost every
article of manufacture, has attracted the
attention of workers throughout the land
Among those who have given the subject
much thought is Mr.. John Jarrett, who
some years ago represented the United
States at Birmingham, England, as consul.
Previous to that time Mr.. Jarrett was for
Il long period president of the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron. Steel and Tin Workers,
the largest body of organized labor people
in the world, with the exception of the
American Federation of Labor.
In letter received here from Mr.. jarrett
by friend the latter takes a bright view
of the outlook under the new conditions
and. after quoting some statistics about the
condition of the tin plate industry in south
Wales as an example. says:
Comparatively few manufacturers en-
gagged in the industry in that country
amassed more than a moderate fortune,
while. on the other hand. the most of those
who were the original owners of the vari-
Gus works constructed ended their careers

Farms Are Not Cultivated.

Little farm cultivation Is going on in the
imm ediate neighboThood of Jaruco. / saw
practically no corn garden patches, and
only few patches Of sweet potatoes In
these the women were working, several
of them with their hair in "papeitas,'' or
curl papers. Some kind of a fiesta was
evidently to be held. The skeleton of the
big sugar mill just beyond Jaruco to the
northwest has yet only the great high
stack and the boilers and engines standing.
They are after all. the valuable part for
where the machinery remains it is easy to
build the walls and platform
1t IS not difficult to understand the pres
ent situation. The owner evidently was
not able to do anything with his planta-
tloh TINS year for lack of money. 1t would
be OF no value to rebuild the mill until he
can replant the cane fields Probably all
this means that he win have to negotiate
loan OF 100000. All he can do this year
Is to plow and plant some cane. A begin
ming has been made and much of the
coarse grass is being BURNED off the land to
prepare 1t for blowing. A few yoke of oxen
are already at work. Next season the view
will be cheerful and in two years Jaruco
will be prospecting. Until that time no
glowing picture can be drawn. The land
In the vicinity is relatively poor and broken
by hills and gullies. Much of it is good
pasture land and dozens of dairy farms
could be established before the sugar cane
has been made in this way. Yesterday
saw some houses which were being re-
matched and in every case they were in
, the pasture districts. The drawback has
been, and yet is, that the people have SO
little money with which to buy live stock.
Ihey need cows and pigs and poultry for
their own sustenance and for the market,
Reasons for the Con rrnst.
The contrast between the conditions in
the neishborhood of Jaruco and those in
other neighborhoods is that between sugar
cane and tobacco. In the districts where
the cane is under cultivation and the mills
are grinding there is no neel. of contrast.

Both Classes Benefited.

This cooperation, in my opinion, will
inevitably result for the general good of
employer and employed, without injury to
the ultimate consumer. Those at the head
of the American Tin Plate Company are
men who have attained and enjoy COM
mercial accomplishments of the highest
type. are thoroughly well acquainted with
the details of manufacturing, broad
minded and progressive, and Will no doubt
foster the industry and keep developments,
50 as to make it best serve the general
interests of all concerned. i regard the
situation with pleasure, inasmuch as l
have taken a special interest in the in
dustry for so many years.
1T is true that this feature of CONSOLE
dation Is comparatively an important in
novatiOn. but when calmly investigated it
will be found not so radical as the factory
system taking the place of the domestic
system, with the individual working at his
loom. his shoe shop or his nail forge The
ultimate result of large corporations or
consultations, the management and affairs
of which have been honestly and justly
administered, has shown that the work
man has greater comforts, better pay and
more time for recreation than he used to
enjoy under the primitive system of the in
dividual being employer and workman, or
under the small manufacturing concern. l

growth of preceding systems, as it were,

Cause of the Condition..

The cause of this unfortunate condition
may be stated in q few words-construction
of q large number of small works, antiquat-
ed appliances, obstinate resistance of labor
TO The Introduction of improved methods of
machinery together with unreasonable ex-
actions in regard to output and subdivision
Of labor. These. with unreStrained cOmpeti-
ton and jealousy between manufacturers,
all combined to bring about ruinous prices
of product and unsteady employment of
labor.
I'm the United States the conditions have
been entirely reversed. From the very in
ception of the industry in this country in
1891 the manufacturers have been intro
ducing vast improvements in machinery and
methods of working, and these in turn have
been willingly adopted by intelligent work
men, and result they enjoy steady en-
ployment and liberal compensation. and the
tin plate industry has grown to larger pro-
portions in the short period of eight years
than it attained in south Wales in 200 years.
There was, however, one weak feature
that was actually threatening the Well-be-
ing Of the industry-the unrestrained COM
petition, resulting in rivalry between the
manufacturers. which, unless checked,
concerns. Fortunately, however, this disas-
ter was averted by the timely organization
of the American Tin Plate Company, which
is a consolidation of all the existing tin
plate plants into one organization, formed
with d view of saving the investments made
in the industry by the small as well the
large manufacturers and placing the bust
ness on a more substantial and lasting
foundation.

Several Other Candidates Voted for
Strange Behavior Of Senator Mar
cum.

The Democratic caucus last night
at Charleston nominated John T..
McGraw for United States Senator
The vote on the first ballot stood:
McGraw, So; Watts, 6; Anderson, 2,
Bennett, L, ex Governor Wilson, |
Senator Marcum who is one of the
senators marked for the ak did not
vote and it is said that when the test
comes he will vote with the Repub-
licans in order to retain his seat.
This however cannot be confirmed
and it is hardly thought to be true.
In the caucus were Campbell and
Stephenson, whom the Democrats
elected to fill the seats of Getzen
danner and Pierson, the sWar Sena-
tors" Dent, one of the contestants
from Taylor county for a seat in the
House, was recognized. All voted
for McGraw.

cannot be foretold. 1t will be very
strange thing if it results in the
nomination of any one without a
great deal of trouble.
