WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - Senator
Proctor of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs and Adjutant General Cor
bin of the war department held an in
formal conference with the president Sat
urday relative to the legislation to be
asked of congress in connection with the
proposed increase of the regular army
Under the existing law" said Senator
Proctor ut the conclusion of the confer
ence, 'the present strength of the army,
$1,000 regulars and $4,000 volunteers,
will be reduced on the first day of next
July to 1900 regulars. This is an alb
surdly small number. and congress will
be asked by the president to reorganize
the army upon a larger basis. 1t will be
impossible to keep any troops in the Phil
ippines unless the army is increased, to
say nothing of the garrisons for the forts
in this country, My own Judgment is
that congress will provide a regular army
of about $4,000 or 10000 men, with dis
erection to the president to raise the total
to 100000 if he finds it necessary.

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
Government ENpends over S1o.00O.-
600 Annually In Their Behalf.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE total
expenditure by the govcr~nent on ac-
count of the Indian service from March
T. 11S9, up to and including July 30,
1900, has been S3GS ,35S,2l1, according
TO the annual report of Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs William \. Jones. The
expenditures for the fiscal year ended
last July amounted to SlO,115.lO1. OF
this amount at least S3.33O,OOO was de-
voted to the cause Of Indian education.
There were 30 Indian schools of all
kinds conducted ty the government and
an increase of LIP pupils in enrolment
and | .142 in average attendance shown
over the previous year. About 5000 of
the 81 600 eligible school children are un-
provided for. Compulsory education of
the Indian children is strongly indorsed
The report controverts the commonly
accepted theory that by constant contact
with the whites the extinction of the In
dian is only a matter of time. 1t says it
can be stated with great decree of con-
iidence that the Indian population Of the
United States has been very little dimin-
ished from the days of Columbus, Coro-
nado, Raleigh, Captain John Smith and
other early explorers.
