OFFICIAL OATHs RENEWED.
Innovation tor Reporters of Debaets
and Other House Employees.

Speaker Henderson during the holi-
days has been going carefully over the
rules that govern the various employees
of the house As a result he decided
that quite a number of employees who
hitherto have served continuously WIFI
out reappointment should receive an
other appointment and again take the
prescribed oath of Office. This was
held by him TO be necessary for GER
tain clerks and for the official reporters
Of debates.
The departure with reference 10 the
official reporters is understood 10 have
no significance whatever as to their
tenure Of Office, although Genera Hen
derson is opposed to any one holding
on by what is sometimes termed around
the capital divine right" The official
reporters have generally been looked
upon as holding a continuing appoint
ment, and as their work is expert, re-
quiring ear OF training, as Wei as
special adaptabflity. not removable *
cept for cause. The order for thei re-
appointment created a little consterna-
tion, but it was learned that there was
no foundation for alarm. Speaker
Henderson is showing some attention to
details of his o5ce, which his predeces-
sors were more or less inclined to leave
alone, and is following the course pre-
scribed by h rules.
q. Beginning with the year 1900, there
were numerous changes in the minor
osces at the senate end of the capitol.
Several reductions of employees, accred-
tied to Democratic senators, were made
and certain republican employees, accred
tied TO republican { majors suddenly
found tina there Sc vices were mere
valuable to the extent of several hun
dreds of dollars per annum Still other
democratic employees were dropped
fom the rolls altogether, as the press
for places on the part of new republi-
can senators was too great to warrant
their retention.
The process of supplanting the minor
employees of the house whose influence
has gone continues steadily. Mark King
and Ohio boy, who comes from Repre-
sentative Morgan's district, was ap-
pointed yesterday as a page to succeed
B.. Burwell, of the same state. In the
sergeant-at-arms' o9ce a change has
been made in the appointment of MI.
G.. F. Evers, of Wisconsin, to be special
deputy Sergeant-at-armS. Mr.. EeVerS
has been a very competent man as as
sistant clerk of the District of Column
bia Committee. The change is in the
nature of a promotion 1or him. Mr.
George V. Nelson, from the district OF
Representative Minor, of Wisconsin,
succeeds Mr.. Evers.-Washington Post.

BALFOUR SPEAKS AGAIN.
He Defends the War Office Against Re-
cent Criticisms.

London, January 10.-A. j. Balfour,
commons, at q luncheon given in Man
chester this afternoon, made a speech
in which he re%pudiated the accusation
that he was a "thick n thin support
err of the war office" He declared that
even if an angel from HEAVIER told him
1t was possible in a great wal to carry
out everything as written out on paper
he should know that the angel was
drawing upon his imagination. 1t was
not true, he added, hat the war office
a sent THE British army into the
field with guns which placed them at
a hopeless disadvantage with their en-
emies. He did not claim that the sys-
tenn was perfect, but the critics ought
not to ignore the extraordinary mill
tary problems of the present war b.
tween which and the problems with
which continental headquarters staffs
had to deal there was no parallel. For
the first time in the history of the
world the country had TO meet an en-
envy entirely mounted, and it was true
that if Great Britain had entered into
the war with a vast humble of mount
ed soldiers it would have long before
been concluded, also, 1T would be rec

that the British war office had not

army. The last thing the government
desired was any undue concealment

twenty Eight rain-gauge stations in OPP
GRAFTON for seven years, and has also
measured the flow of the streams dur
ing that time; 20 that the government
experts will have much data already on
hand. The soil is similar on all portions
and the geological formation uniformly
granite. The rainfall on the forested
and logged-off tracts is practically the
same, buL is slightly less on the Hol-
comb shed, which approaches desert
conditions. 1t is believed that condl-
tons are 90 nearly similar throughout
the region that the observations will be
as instructive as if made on the same
tract before and after numbering. The
effects of grazing and fires will also be
noted.
The flood capacity of the streams VIII
be made the basis of investigation. 1t
is well known that, although the rain
fall may be less, a barren area will often
produce greater floods than wooded
area. This is because the water, unob-
structed by vegetable cover, runs Off
the surface rapidly and is practically
wasted. A lesser total rainfall, If con-
served by the forest, will soak into the
ground and flow steadily throughout the
year. The Investigations projected will
be the first, however, in this country, to
attempt to prove by figures that the
flood extreme of streams is in proper
ton to the lack of FORGET covering. The
results will be applicable in a general
way to any portion of the country, and
will be of special value to all regions
where irrigation is practiced.

ONE OF ENGLAND,S PROBLEMS.

The question of the employment of
native Indian troops in the South
African war is being generally dis
cussed in India and England just now.
There is a strong feeling in India that
the home government should reconsider
its original decision to employ only
white troops, in view of the unexpected
demands made upon the military re-
sources of Great Britain. More cavalry
is badly needed, and the Indian native
cavalry is one of the finest bodies of
horse in the world. 1t is urged that in
declining to utilize the Indian army,
which has hitherto been reckoned a
prominent factor of imperial strength,
the cabinet is unjustifiably clinging to
false sentiment. A further argument is
before the war is over, and that six
months hence Great Britain will be
driven to employ her native cavalry
whether she wants to or not. There
fore it is contended, the principle may
as well be admitted while it still APP
pears optional. Again, the advocates Of
native cavalry point out that slur is
thrown upon the native army by the
disnclination of the government to en-
ploy it on foreign service. An implica-
ton Of mistrust is conveyed which
will create bad impression. Powerful
arguments are also being urged on the
other side. The strongest of all is that
the coonists are prejudiced against
natives of India, whom they try to ex-
clude from their territory, and that they
would view with the utmost repugnance
any attempt to pit colored troops
against the Beers.
