WASHINGTON, November 25.-In
view of the probable call upon the War
Department to make a sudden increase
in the enlisted strength of the army
after the present regular force shall
have been discharged, it is a matter Of
considerable interest to see what may
be done by the various recruiting Off
ces toward building up the new regi-
ments when the number and strength
of these shall be determined by the pas
sage of the army reorganization bill.
1t is said at the War Department that
for several months past the chief trou-
BILE has been to keep from over-recrait-
ing the regular regiments now in the
service. In spite of the fact that active
war hardly can be said to exist even in
the Philippines, there has been strong
pressure for enlistment, and the re-
cruiting officers, it is said, have been
able to pick and choose men of very
high standard of excellence owing to
the large number of applicants. The
department counts with considerable
confidence on the Te-enlistment of a
large number of men whose term of
service will expire on June 80, 1901.
At the same time, if the army reorgan-
ization bill shall provide for perma-
nent force of $4,000 men or over, and
it is not thought likely that it will fall
below this figure, there will be $4,000
men to enlist between the date of the
passage of the bill and the discharge of
the present regulars on the goth of
June. The chief recruiting officer of
the department, Major Johnson, says
that it is impossible to make any pre-
dictions as to the speed with which the
recruiting can be carried on, but that
it will depend largely upon the number
of officers that the department can de-
tail for recruiting duty. When the
Spanish American war was officially
declared to be ended and the discharge
of the volunteers rendered the recruiting
of fresh regiments imperative there
were 25 ,00v new men added to the regu-
lar establishment in the space of about
six weeks, in spite of the fact that vol
unteer officers at that time were re-
cruiting all over the country to fill up
the volunteer regiments. The first reg
iments enlisted for the regular service
were recruited, equipped and drilled and
ready for transportation on an average
of forty-four days each, more than ten
days quicker than the average for the
regiments enlisted at the beginning of
the Spanish war.

PARIS, November 25.-Mr. Kruger
passed Sunday with his family at the
Hotel Scribe. observing the Sabbath in
accordance to the customs of his faith
erland. His apartments were closed
to visitors and he remained within
them, indulging himself in perfect rest.
Although the boulevards were alive
to late hour last night with merry
makers and singing songs, the Hotel
Scribe was cordoned, and the jewellers
did not disturb his rest.
This morning found him quite re-
covered from the fatigue After an
early breakfast he conferred with DR..
Leyds. There being no church of his
own denomination in Paris, he held
private service in his apartments, sur
rounded by his encourage. Mr.. Kruger
read portion of the scriptures, and
member of his suite preached a sermon
prepared in advance. The Boer states
man expressed a desire to have an
organ to assist the singing, but this
could not be obtained.
At an early hour free circulation
was resumed in the streets about the
hotel whose only guardians, two police
men, stood on either side of the prin-
cipal entrance. The number of pas
sers-by was not greater than the or
binary Sunday crowd Toward 8 p.
NJ, however, pedestrians increased and
along the boulevard came one hundred
shouting and singing Beers. Their
advent increased the enthusiasm,
which was rapidly worked up and the
streets began to fill. Cheers for Mr..
Kruger began and the police immedi-
ately established Gordon about the
hotel. Several companies OF Repub-
lican guards quickly arrived.
In half an hour the scene resembled
that of yesterday Responding to cries
and plaudits, Mr.. Kruger came for a
moment upon the balcony, accompan-
led by his granddaughter. Again at
five o'clock the tumut was such that
he reagpeared, but only for moment.
During the afternoon and early even
ing there was no falling off in the num-
Der of spectators Itwas 10 o'clock be-
fore the people had sufficiently disap-
peared to permit the circulation OF car
riages.
Some manifestations of an unimport-
ant character occurred during the after
noon in front of the Offices of the Libre
Parole and the Intransigeant, but the
police quickly dispersed the demopstra-
tors, arresting some who had uttered
anti British cries.
Many cards were left at the Hotel
Scribe during the day, among them
those of NJ. Deloasse, Minister of For
eign Affairs, and other high officials of
the foreign Office.
MIR. Kruger will spend tomorrow
morning in comforting with the Boer
representatives. The afternoon will be
devoted to receiving deputations and
prominent people who have made ap-
pointments. No decision, it is under
stood. has been reached as to when Mr.
Kruger will leave Paris. According to
the best information cbtainable this
afternoon he viii remain here until
Wednesday or Thursday morning. II
is said that he will go directly to Hol-
land, not stopping in Belgium, where
he NAV go later on

Robson mt NeW YORK, Yesterday.
NEW YORK, November 25.-Gen.
Joseph Wheeler spoke on the subject
of Our Country; It's Progress and Its
Triumphs," and Lieut. Richmond P.
Hobson on An Appreciation of the
Life and Service of Admiral Philip" to
5000 people in Carnegie Hall to-day.
None of the peoples triumphs," said
Gen. Wheeler, would be of any value
unless coupled with the Christian re-
ligion. The progress of our country is
due more to the Christian religion and
its practice than all else combined. You
have heard a great deal about abolish
ing the canteen, but the people seeking
this, promised to put nothing in its
argument that the canteen was better
than the saloon, TO which the men
would otherwise go. But the problem
has been attempted in different way
here in New York. You are doing away
with the canteen by setting up the Y.

The latter part of his address was on
the desirability OF retaining the Philip
pines.
Lieut. Hobson's address was a review
of the life of Admiral Philip as an Off
Ger and a Christian.
Gen. o. o. Howard presided.

saySa special dispatch from Pekin, an
extension of the legation area, so as
to embrace everything from the Ia
Tu Men gate, the Sien Men gate, be-
tween the walls of the imperial and
Tartar cities, a strip a mile long and
a third of a mile wide. M. De Giers,

kind OF verbal compromise has -cSn
arranged.
The Morning Post publishes the fol-
lowing from Its Pekin correspondent,
dated Saturday:
Wang Wen Chao, now cabinet
minister, has written to Sir Robert
Hart from Sian Flu that Emperor
Kwang Su would be glad to return to
Pekin, but that His Majesty would
lose his face if foreign troops were
there.
THE German expedition to Kalgan
is encountering no opposition. The
other expeditions which Count Won
Waldersee has despatched to harass the
neighborhood of Pekin are mainly
expeditions in search of loot. They
are incorrectly described by the Ger
mans as important military opera
tons"
Inc Shanghai correspondent OF the
Times telegraphs that adviees from
Pekin say that the United States have
refused to join in the demand for the
execution of the princes and other high
officials.

OFFICIAL PESSIMISTIC.

ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday, No
vember 24.-From three sources of in
formation, directly connected with as
many ministries of the state, the st.
Petersburg correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press to-day ascertained that
Imperial officials are becoming ex-
tremely pessimistic regarding the con-
dition of Emperor Nicholas, and assert
that the Livadia bulletins conceal the
gravity of his Illness.
In spite of the notorious ease with
which an alarmist rumor can be circu-
lated in the Russian capital, many
good judges believe that the chances
Of the Cars recovery are diminishing.
One report says that the Emperor,
in addition to typhoid fever, with pee
toral complications, has brain fever,
the result of the blow he received
from a fanatical policeman during his
tour of Japan; an' 7erte
in some quarters that trepanning has
become necessary.
Although the imperial ministers have
assumed wider powers in administra-
ton since His Majestys illness began,
the whole machine of government is
affected by his disability, and many
departments are almost at a standstill.
Russian laws and customs impose
more burdens of detail, particularly in
the matter of signatures, upon the
Gear, for example numerous special
pensions whose payment on each occa-
sion requires the Emperors name.
