Coats Milk.

Modern Medicine says that goats
milk, contrary to the general impress
sion, differs from cows milk not in be.
ing more digestible. but in being less
digestible and less nutritious, although
it contains larger amount of solid
matter than cows milk. 1t is indeed
the most indigestible Of all milk.
Coats milk has peculiar and unpleas
ant odor and flavor, due to hircic acid,
or bircine. 1t contains an excess of fat
and is therefore altogether too rich for
an infants diet

DOESN'T COMPLY WITH LAW
Articles of Incorporation of the 18th mus shtp Canal Co. Turned
 Down In New Jersey.

Trenton, N. J., June 2s.-Atty. Gen. Gray has filed an opinion with the secretary of state advising the refusal of the articles of incorporation of the American lsthmus Ship Canal Co. The capital is sso.ooo, with the provision that the capital stock might be ir,- creased to $250,000, ,OOO by vote of the holders of not less than three -fourths of the capital stock. This proviso is in conflict with the New Jersey statute, which gives to the holders of two thirds of the capital stock the power 10 increase the authorized capital. The secretary of state will, later. return the papers to the company. The com- pany was intended to be incorporated here to build a ship canal across the isthmus of Panama. Those named as incorporators were Henry Leeds, W. (. Merriam and Juan A. Smith. of Jersey City.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
An Hours Consultation With the President on the Reinforce
 ment of Gen. Otis.
BE WILL HAVE FORTY THOUSAND MEN.
he Forwarded So That the End sf the Rainy Season VIII Find s Strong Force Ready for Active Operations.

Washington. June 2s.-Secretary Al gtT, Adjt.-Gen Corbin and Col. Bird assitant quartermaster general in charge of transportation, had an hours consultation with the president relative to the question of reinforce. meEts for Gen. Otis.
 A Definite Dscisfon.
 A definite decision has been reached tc continue recruiting men at all the recruiting stations for service in the Philippines, and Secretary Alger said, when he left the White House. after the conference, that Gen. Otis would have 10000 men when the rainy sea- snr closed for resumption of active operations.
 Enlistments VIII Proceed.
 There are 70 recruiting stations in the United States. and enlistments are to be taken at all of these places. The eniistments are to be for service in sbe regular army, and recruits are to be organized into regiments or assigned 10 regiments already formed, after en- istment. No organization as such, are fo be accepted if sufficient recruits can bt obtained by regular enlistment.
 For . Three Years Term.
 Gen. Corbin says that the enlist nents would be three years. although fhe law for the creation of the pro- vislonal army of 35,00O in excess of the regular army of 65,OOO provides only for such force until 1901. Ar engagements are to be made at once for increasing the transportation nee essary to get these additional troops to the Philippines. The decision to rein force Gen. Otis by the end of the rainy season is interpreted to mean that ag- gressive campaigning will cease until the bad weather ends
 Ctrcumscribed Operations.
 Until that time our operations will probaly be confined to occasional ex- cursions to places in close proximity to our lines, where the insurgents may have congregated in force. By remain ing quiescent under good shelter dur ing the rainy season it is hoped the health of our troops will be conserved and the danger from climatic levers rtouced to a minimum.
 Skeleton organisations.
 Gen. Otis has cabled the war depart- ment that he has the skeleton organ izations of two or three regiments which it is proposed to raise in the Philippines. At the war department this was said to mean that Gen. Otis las the officers for these regiments selected, and that they are ready to be filled with enlisted men. How many ef these can be secured from the vol nnteer regiments now in the Philip pInes is not known.
 Men Now Being Enlisted.
 h is stated at the war department tEat the recruits now being enlisted at the rate of 1000 week can not be used for the volunteer army provided for in the act of March ?, authorizing sa,oo0 men, although it would be an easy matter to transfer these men, with their own consent. to the volun- teer service if it should be determined to raise additional troops.
