the year just closed, the contract sys-

of the city have shown a willingness
to treat the city fairly, and have ac-
complished more than enough to equal
the advance in wages" The construc-

A HUGE ARMY.
England Expects to Mobilize
100000 Men.

London, Feb. 12.-The house of COM
mons was crowded today in anticipation
of the statement of Mr.. George Wynd-
ham, parliamentary secretary of the
war Office, in regard to the army meas
ures, Joseph H. Choate, the United
States ambassador; Henry White, the
secretary of the United States embassy
and w. T. Baker, president of the Chi
cago board of trade were among those
present in the distinguished strangers
gallery.
Mr.. Wyndham. arose amid cheers.
when the house Wene into committee on
supply and said that he did not propose
to deal with the question of the prose-
cution of the war but would Immediate
ly outline other military measures nee
essary for placing home defense on a
satisfactory footing. The government
he continued, had not even considered
the question of compulsory service,
which was entirely unnec essary in view
of the activity of recruiting for the
auxiliary forces.
During the spring and summer the
volunteer artillery will be rearmed. A
mounted infantry volunteer corps
would be formed. The artillery army
service corps, and engineers necessary
for two additional army corps would be
raised forthwith namely 80 field bat
teries and seven horse batteries. The
speaker also said it had been decided
to raise u additional infantry battal-
ions.
Mr.. Wyndham, said the existing cav
airy forces would also be extended and
that commissions would be offered to
military officers to the colonies and to
the universities.
At present the speaker further point
ed out that there were 109, 900 regulars
in the country and the increase was
anticipated to be 80, 000 There were now
32S000 men in the auxiliary forces, and
it was estimated the increase would be
$4,000 men, so altogether the country
would soon have at least 517, 900 men
and Mr. Wyndham anticipated that the
number would be nearer 100000 than
half a million.
The secretary of state for war, Lord
Lansdowne, furnished the house of lords
with a statement similar to that of Mr..
Wyndham.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke OF
Cambridge were interested listeners in
the house of lords.

and want, the principles which I advo-

Mayor Chase did not have a civ
council in sympathy with him the first
year of his administration, nor does it
appear that he has a sympathetic one
this year. He says, in speaking of the
results of his first year in office, that
with the city council composed of a
majority opposed to any progress along
the line of municipal ownership 1t was
impossible to make much headWay in
that direction" He had, therefore tc
content himself with securing better
and cheaper service from existing cor

ROOsevelt's Refusal of Vice Pres
identiaI Nomination.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 12-Governor
Roosevelt today gave out a statement
relative to the vice presidency, in which
he declares that he will not accept the
honor under any circumstances. His
statement follows:
In view of the continued statements
in the press that I may be urged as a
candidate for vice president and in view
of the many letters that reach me ad
vising for and against such course, it
is proper for me to state definitely that
under no circumstances could I, or
would I, accept the nomination for the
vice presidency. 1t is needless to say
how deeply I appreciate the honor con-
ferred upon me by the mere desire to
place me in so high and digniffed posi-
ton. But it seems to me clear that
at the present time my duty is here in
the state whose people chose me to be
governor. Great problems have been
faced and are being partly solved in
this state at this time, and if the people
so desire hope that the work thus be-
gun, may help carry to a successful
conclusion
The governor in giving out his state
ment said: And l am happy to state
that Senator Platt cordially acQuiesces
in my views in the matter"

What the country plainly stands in
need of at present is more business
based on right and justice and less pol
itics. The sentiment in favor of main
tanning a tariff on trade with Porto
Rico clearly has its rise in a fear of
the sugar and tobacco growers and not
in regard for right or precedent. Porto
Rico came to US in exactly the same
manner that New Mexico and Arizona
did, and there can be no more reason
or Justice on the side Of special tariff
regulations for the island than there
are for special tariff regulations re-
garding trade with the territories ac-
quired from Mexico. All the fne-spun
theories about the term United States
meaning one thing at one time and
place and another thing at another
time and place will not serve to OBJ
scure the facts, the law and history. 1t
may be proven that congress has the
power to commit a wrong, but no
amount of argument can convert wrong
into right If the Porto Rican bill shall
pass as recommended by a majority of
the house committee. it will be pro
ductive of endless trouble for the party
which stands sponsor for it.

PORTUGAL'S SHREWD MOVE
Anticipates Verdict and Begins Col
Iecting Award Funds.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington, D. c., says:
In anticipation of a verdict being
rendered against her in the McMurdo
claim, Portugal is collecting the neces-
sary funds for the satisfaction of the
award. Statements to this effect are
being made in Portuguese newspapers,
which have just been received by M.
1gnaciO Da Costa Duarte, charge daft
fairies of Portugal here.
NJ. Da Costa Duarte pointed out that
this was an indication of the intention
of his government to retain its South
African possessions, and, besides, in
formation he has received from Lisbon
shows conclusively it is not the purpose
of Portugal to ALLEVIATE any of her ter
ritory. 1t is expected by the Lisbon
authorities that the amount of the
award against their government will be
in the neighborhood of $4,000 900.
1t is understood that the award of the
arbitrations in the McMurdO claims has
been further delayed by reason of the
action of British and American claim
ants in submitting additional facts and
and arguments to the Swiss arbitra-
tors.
The McMurdo claim arises from the
confscation of the Delagoa bay rail-
road. running from Lourenzo Marquee
to Pretoria, in South Africa, by the
Portuguese government. The railroad
was built by the late Colonel Edward
McMurdO.

Ex-Seeretary Alger thinks a public
man like Colonel Bryan displays ex-
ceedingly bad taste in going from
place to place and making speeches
taking sides IN the South African war,
and attempting to stir up hostility to
a nation that was friendly to us during
the Spanish war. This is well said If
Mr.. Bryan should be elected president
which he won't be-he might find
himself in an embarrassing position
with a record of unfriendly utterances
against a friendly power-Minneapol
