COST OF MILITARIsM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100000 MEN.

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made It's demand. It demands an army
Of 100000 men and It wants 5000 .OOO,-
900 for the next year to support its
pretensions.
The navy department wants SIS ,0O0,-
OOO The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end of the fiscal year, June 30,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than 5000. .0O0,O 900. The
war department is estimating on the
basis Of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers and regulars in excess OF about
10000 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901. and Quartermaster-Gen
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home Of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
1t will be necessary to recruit regI-
ments to take the place Of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 100000. There will be a heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance, ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary-General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was $11 ,112, ,242, and
this will be exceeded
