RECALL CUBAN TROOPS.

be Hurried to China.

Washington. July 5-A result Of re-
cent consultations of the secretary OF
war with Lieutenant General Miles,
commanding the army. General Wood
commanding the division of Cuba, or
derS were issued today for the return
of the United States from Cuba as soon
as possible of the Second, Sixth and
Eighth regulars of Infantry. These
regiments are scattered over the island
and probably will not be able to start
home for a. week or ten days They
will be brought to the port of New YORK
and their stations will be determined
before they win reach that point.
The recall of the Cuban troops is the
first step of the war departments plan
to replace the volunteer army in the
Philippines with troops of the regular
army. 1t was intended to begin the
homeward movement of the volunteers
in the Philippines next November but

them from their original destination at

LOSS S67,77s.
Topeka Fire Department Prevented
All Serious Fires.

The report of the national board of
underwriters for 1899 gives the Topeka
fire department a rating of 100 per cent
for efficiency.
The efficiency of a department Is
found from the service rendered by the
department and is determined mostly
upon the combining of the fire to the
building where it started. During 1899
the Topeka department confined every
fire to the building where it originated
which is considered by the insurance
companies to be thoroughly satisfactory
work.
The report shows las alarms for the
year while the average number of
alarms received each year for eight
years was 13S. All of the fires where
confined to the buildings where they
started and 142 were confined to the
floors where they started. The total val
ue OF property involved by fire was
SITS, 2S0. The total loss thereon was
SCI, 778. The total insurance thereon
was 1854, SS9 and the total insurance loss
was $50, 448. The loss per capita was
$1.69.
The report shows 2.432 brick or stone
buildings in the city and 1852 frame
buildings. There were during the year
SO fires in stone and brick buildings and
70 in frame buildings and % fires not in
buildings. The Topeka department has
made an excellent record as shown by
the table below giving a few cities the
size of Topeka and some larger.

THAT although the company has now

its existence has to such an extent slim

plants engaged in the manufacture of wall

1T has also been demonstrated that the
manufacture of wall paper involves ele-
ments of so peculiar nature that it can
not be as successfully conducted through
the medium of a combination as it can
through Independent isolated plants. In
dividua1 taste and the personality of the
manufacturer play an important part,
which in a combination consisting of
numerous plants is apt to be overlooked.
For these and other reasons the en-

constitute a majority of the stockhold-

conviction that they are thereby pro-

favor a dissolution of the corporation.

avoiding the expense and shrinkage in
values ordinarily incident to the disso-
luton of an important industrial un-
