BRECKINRDGE REPORTS.
The I-spsetor General OF the Army suE-
gest< a Standard OF Two Soldiers per
1000 or Popaiauen.

Washington, Dec 5.-The report Of
Gen. J. C. Breckenridge, inspector
general Of the army, earnestly recon-
mends that the benefits Of the law Of
March 3, 1899, providing for the re-
tirement Of officers Of the navy, under
certain conditions, with the rank and
pay OF the next higher grade, be ex-
tended to include officers Of the army.
Most Of our wars have been fought on
land, says the report, and as matter
Of simple justice rewards for army
officers should be no less extensive
than those enjoyed by officers Of the
naval branch He also touches upon
the Disadvantages imposed by inferior
rank IN the army, citing as an in
stance the China campaign, whom
Gen Chaffee, a junior among the in
ternatiOnal commanders, was ad-
vanced from a brigadier to maier
general to give him the rank reoui-
site to his status as commander-in-
chief Of the United States forces in
China Gen Breckinridge also notes
that the grade Of brigadier- general
Is abolished IN most Of the European
armies and is nearly as archaic as the
rank or commodore afioat
In regard TO the question of reor-
ganizing the standing army, the gen
eral suggests a standard OF two sol
diers Per every LOCO Of population,
and submits statistics to show that
in the proportion Of soldiers to popu-
latiOn and to the area Of the country.
and in the war budget In time Of
peace, the United States Is far be
hind all Of the great European na-
tons.

I Gage was submitted to congress yes.
erday. It is largely statistical and
contains much that has already ap-
peared in the public press. The rev
enues Of the government from all
sources for the year ended June 30
were 1858, 595, 431 and the expenditures
$3.50, O6S, 81, leaving a surplus Of S7S,-
52TO6o. The secretary advocates q
conservative reduction of war revenue
taxes. Concerning the present fnan-
cial law ne says
Confidence In the purpose and power OF
the government TO maintain the gold
standard has been greatly strengthened.
The result Is that gold flows toward the
! treasury instead OF away from it. That
provision Of the act which nberaliEed the
conditions OF bank note issues was also
Z wise and timely. Under It. as previously
shown in this report, there has been an
Increase OF some 81. 010, 900 IN bank note
Issues To this fact may be chiefly at
trfbuted the freedom from stress Tor
currency to handle the large harVests OF
eottOn. wheat and corn. In this respect
the year has been an exception 70 the gen
oral rule OF stringency which for several
years has 50 plainly marked the autumn
season Nevertheless. the measures re-

good results, viii yet need reinforcement
In some important particulars. Thus
as to the redemption fund provided for in
said act, while the powers conferred upon
the secretary are probably ample to en-
able a jealous and Watchful officer TO pro-
tect fully the gold reserve, there appears
to be lacking sufficient mandatory re-
qBirement to furnish complete confidence
in the continued parity, under all condi-
tons. between our two forms OF metallic
money. silver and gold Upon this point
further legislation may become desirable.
As 10 the currency, while the nberaliz-
ing conditions have, as previously noted,
found response in a necessary increase Of
bank note issues, there IS under our pres
ent system no assurance whatever that
the volume OF bank currency viii be con-
tinuOusly responsive to the country'a
needs, either by expanding as such needs
require OF by contracting when super
duous IN amount. The truth is that. safe
and desirable as Is our currency system
in many respects, It is not properly re-
lated The supply OF currency IS but
remotely, II at All, Influenced by the ever
changing requirements OF trade and in
dUstry. 1t IS related most largely, II not
entirely, to the price Of government bonds

change and for instruments Of credit.
which a proper bank note furnishes, and
the investment price or value OF govern
ment bonds, which is at present the most
influential factor IN determining the cur
rency supply, there is no observable re-
lation whatever.

Washington, Dec. 5-The annual re-
port Of the commissioner Of internal
revenue contains some interesting as
well as instructive information with
relation to the revenue collected in
the middle western states during the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1900. One
third Of the 1926, 316, 1o7.57 collected

from Kansas, s1,O1O,17s.79. That the
oleomargarine industry in the middle

" in the last year is indicated by the
report. The total production amount

Favor NICARAGUA ROUTE
E-thualna Caaal Conuaissloa Gives e caa
grss. tire Results OF Ess Lavezttsa-
tfoR for the Great VyatsFEaT.


Washington, Dec. 5.-The report -
the Isthmian Canal commission, sub
nitted by the president to congress.
gives as the unanimous conclusion cf
that body that s'the most practicable
and feasible route for an isthmian
canal, under the control, management
and ownership Of the United States
is that known as the Nicaragua route.
The commission estimates the cost
Of this route at 500, $40, 600. This e.
innate is much in excess Of any here
tofore made, and is due to increased
dimensions and other features not
heretofore considered. The cOmmis-
sion also estimates the cost OF a ca-
nal by the Panama route at s142, S4s,-
579, according TO one route, or S156s-
37s,2 5s according to another route. Al
between the Nicaragua and Panama
routes the commission sums up NUM-
Der Of advantages favorable to the
former. It states also that under ths
concessions given by the Colombian
government to the Panama Cana con-
pany, that government is not free 70
grant the necessary rights TO the
United States except upon conditions
made by the company.
The size Of locks is 40 feet IN
length, 81 feet in width, IN The clear
with a depth OF IS feet. Taking up
the Nicaragua route In detail, the
commission says that the route adopt
ed follows essentially the lines laid
down by the Nicaragua canal con-
mission in its report Of 1S97-1s99. It
begins near GreytOwn on the Atlantic
side, follows the San Juan river, enters
lake Nicaragua and terminates at
BritO, on the Pacific side. The dis
lance from ocean to ocean Is about
1s6 miles. Plans are given for the
great harbors required at Greytown
and Brito. The NEST difficult engi.
neering work is the dam across the
San Juan river TO regulate the water
Of the lake. The time required TO
build the canal hinges almost entirely
on the time required for the construe-
ton Of this dam. The commission
says eight vars would probably be q
reasonable estimate for the building.
At least two years VIII be consumed
in preparatory work and opening
harbor at Greytown.

FEW PEOPLE LIVE IN LONDON
The Night Population OF the City
Proper Il Decreasing Very
Rapidly.

LONDON city proper is losing the little
popularity 1t once enjoyed as a place of
residence. In 1861 it had a population
Of 112, 900; to-day it has but a quarter
Of that number. These figures. of
course, represent the night population
Of the city-those who sleep within the
limits Of the old city. During the same
time the day pOpulation-those who
do business or perform labor in the
city, has increased. In 1866 If was TO-
13s; in 1891, 3O1, 3s4. Those who have
walked across London bridge sbout
nine O'Clock in the morning do not
need to be told about the vast stream
OF humanity which flows cityward at
that hour. But II Is almost incredible
that no fewer than 2,O0O,OoS persons
enter the city during a single period of
p hours. The ascertained number for
1891 was ], 1s6.C94, and the succeeding
ten years must have brought the figure
up to 1000 900. One eanoRt help re-
GREETING that the permanent popuIa-
ton should have sunk 50 low. No won
der the numerous and beautiful
churches are 50 empty. The city is now
little more than congestion Of ware
houses and shops The change is par
ticularly noticeable In such streets as
Bread street, where John Milton was
born and the Mermaid tavern once
hOurished- But those were IN the days
when the green fields we're near and
IslngtOn was a country suburb.
