TOlMPROVE NATIONAL GUARD
Provisions of the Bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Clayton.
1t EmbOdies the Ideas of Gen. Roe,
of the New York Organization.

Representative Clayton Of New York has
introduced a bill in the House Oh R. $3.50
to organize the National Guard OF the
United States and to provide for in
creasing the military establishment in time
of war. Mr.. Clayton is West Point grad
uate and was colonel Of a New York regi-
ment in the Spanish war He is very much
interested in all National Guard matters.
''This BILL said Mr.. Clayton, 'is largely
a development of the system suggested by
the practical experience Of the National
Guard in New York, embodying a number
OF improvements suggested by the expert
ence of 1898. The bill was compiled under
the direction of General Roe and embodies
his ideas. together with those of General
Wlngate, Colonel Clayton and various other
National Guard officers of New York
Among the principal features are, first,
the militia of the country to remain under
control of the state, but subject to orders
ana not request, should war render 1t nee
essary to have large temporary force in
active service; second, to increase the
amount of the appropriation, but no state
and trained force; third, the National
Guard to be armed, equipped and drilled in
their various duties, on the lines laid down
tor the regular army; fourth, the National
Guard, when ordered into active service, to
retain its officers and organization but as
such is to be considered a defensive force
to be used in this country, and, when con-
sidered necessary, volunteer forces, entirely
apart from the National Guard, are to be
raised for foreign and more protracted
duty.
The bill distinctly states the position of
the National Guard and provides how
volunteer army may be raised, when neces-
sary. we are not opposed to a regular
army large enough to perform the duties
required by our government of its military
establishment, and believe that it is a mis-
take and an injustice to the men them
selves to send volunteers to maintain our
position in the island possessions of the
United States.
The great danger of a military force
comes from the great expense and the idle
ness of large number of men, and there
Is more danger in the proposed scheme of
having United States reserve force than
IN any other that has been yet proposed.
The great body of citizens who must wage
war with any ffrst-class power should
that calamity ever overtake us, should be
educated as far as possible in military mat
ters, but with as little expense as possible
to the government. The great reserve
force that must be the main dependence in
time OF such war should remain a part
OF the people, and under control of the
state, and thus act as a check upon hasty
or unw1se administration

NEEDED BY MANUFACTURERS
Growing Demand for Materials Not Pro-
duced in This Country.
Larger ImpOrtations for Seven Months
Than in Any Preceding
Fiscal Year.

The growing demand of American manu-
facturers for the class of materials which
cannot be produced at home is likely to
make the lmportations of the fiscal year
1900 larger than those of any preceding
year. The seven months ending with Janu-
airy, 1900, show much larger Importation
of manufacturers materials than in the
corresponding months of any preceding ifs
cal year, and as consequence the total
importations for the seven months slightly
exceed those of the corresponding period
Of any earlier year. In the seven months
ending with January the importations of
articles in a crude condition, which enter
into the various processes of domestic in
dustry,' to adopt the official classification
of the treasury bureau of statistics, amount
ed to $1S9, O63 962, or practically twice as much
as in the corresponding months ending with
January, 1897 when they were $50, $50 326;
and the percentage which manufacturers
materials formed of the total importationS
was 34.79 per cent, against 2+74 per cent
in the corresponding months ending with
January, 1897 While there has been a
steady growth during the decade in the
importatiOns of raw materials for use of
manufacturers, no year has shown so large
an increase as the present one, the import
ations of this class of materia! in the seven
months ending with January being nearly
80 per cent in excess of those of the cor
responding months of one year ago, Ind,
as already indicated, practically double
those of the corresponding months ending
with January, 1897.
Ten great articles form the bulk of this
great class of our importations-crud ma
terials for use in manufacturing. They are
silk, fibers, WOOL Egyptian cotton, crude
rubber, wood, tobacco hides and skins,
chemicals and tin in pigs and bars for use
in manufacturing tin plates These ten ar
ticles form about so per cent of the grand
total Importation of manufacturers ma
terials. The Increase in the Importation of
these ten great articles, comparing the sew
en- months ending with January. 1900. with
the corresponding months ending with jan

Irish Linens Sent TO Cuba.

One effect Of the United States occupa-
ton of Cuba has been to reopen the Cuban
market to Irish linen manufacturers. United
States Consul Touvelle at Belfast reports
to the State Department that Belfast linens
had been driven out of the Cuban market
before the Spanish-American war by the
high import duties and the cost Of ex-
change, both of which factors made in
favor of the Spanish linens producer. The
war resulting in revised and justly exc
cuted tariff altered the whole conditions of
affairs. and Belfast shippers are now able
to compete with Spanish and other foreign
manufac turers. 1t is remarkable, too, that
the Cuban merchants have been remit ting
promptly, and, in the words of a local linen
merchant. says the consul, ''Aii these things
are surely tribute to the wise, able and
enlightened government of that country by
the United States"

ness February %. 1900, the debt. less cash
in the treasury, amounted to 81 lis, SS6, 059,
a decrease since February l of $6,150 16S.
This decrease is largely accounted for by
the increase in the amount of cash on

on which interest has ceased since ma
turity, s1,20S. 900: debt bearing no interest,

however, does not. include s720, 204,2S3 in
certificates and treasury notes offset by an
equal amount of cash in the treasury. The
cash in the treasury is classified as fol-
lows:

California Currants Cleaner.

The Greek consul at Chicago has inform
ed his government. according to news
paper report transmitted to the State De-
partment by United States Consul Nc
Ginley at Athens. that the California cur
rant growers have prevailed over the COM
petition of the Greek currant raisers in
that city by double cleaning of their cur
rants, and the extraction of their seed.
Thus they acquire a greater value than the
Corinthian currants. which are far superior,
but are mixed with sand and unclean.

1t will be observed that there is a large

importations OF this class of material have
grown with much greater rapidity than the

From the Transvaal


The Hongkong Maru arrived this
morning from Sau Francisco. Tie
news from the Transvaal shows that
strict censorship is kept over all
press dispatches. The following
csblegrams are therefore not relia-
be:
LONDON, Jan. II The Daily Mail
says: We learn that in the attack on
Ladysmith last Saturday, January
6, the British losses were Ia off GERS
killed, "a wounded and over 500 non-
commissioned officers and men killed
and wounded. The Boer losses, we
hear, are estimated at between 1000
and 5000.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Calcutta
correspondent OF the Daily Mail
says: "While the official statement
that no alarm is felt concerning
Afghanistan is quite true | have
good reason to believe the Indian
Government has received disquiting
information regarding Russian move
ments in the direction of Persia.
Russia is taking advantage of the
Transvaal trouble to strengthen her
ornaments and push forward her
outposts along the Persian frontier
with view to ultimate annexation,
a design in which Germany would
probably acquiesce in consideration
Of receiving railway concessions"
LONDON, Jan. 12.-The War Off e
this morning received the following
dispatch from General Butler, dated
Springfield, Thursday, January IL,
at 9:2O o'clock, evening:
81 occupied the south band of the
Tugela River at Potgieters Drift
this morning and seized Pont. The
river is in food. The enemy is
strongly entrenched about four and
half miles to the north"
Apart from the definite news that
General Butler has attempted a
second time to cross the Tugela
River the only news is the list Of
casualties among the British officers
in the fight at Ladysmith Saturday,
Jan. 6, showing thirteen killed and
twenty-seven wounded. Among the
latter was Lieutenant Colonel Will
liam Henry Dick Cunningham,
V. G., commander of the Second
Battalion of the Gordon High
landers since 1897, who has since
succumbed to his wounds. The
War Office announces the British
casualties at Ladysmith, January 6,
among the rank and file, were 1876
killed and 242 wounded.
1t is officially announced that the
Earl of Ava has died OF his wounds.
The Earl died without recovering
consciousness.
