The Republican Officials Are Already at Work on
the Plans for the Increase.

Washington, November 11.--senator
Proctor, of the senate committe on mil
itary affairs, and Adjutant General Cor
bin, of the war department, held an In
formal conference with the president yes
terday relative to the legislation TO be
asked OF congress in connection with the
proposed increase in the army.
Under the existing law" said Sem
ator Proctor at the conclusion of the con-
ference, 1.-The present strength OF tho
army, $4,000 regulars and $1,000 volun-
GERS will be reduced on July to 270o0
regulars. This is an absurdly small num-

president to reorganize the army upon

the army is increased to say nothing of
the garrisons for the forts in this coun-
try.
My own Judgment is that congress will
provide a regular army OF about $50 0
to $4,000 men, with discretion to the
president to raise the total to 100000
If he finds the larger number necessary.
I have no doubt that this legislation VIII
be enacted at the coming session."

needs. it is recommended that whenever
congress authorizes sn increase of vos-

mer TO man the ships.
The training system as now praebced
in the navy is commended and 1t Is de-
clared that by no other means could the
navy obtain sailors to man tho feet. Ad-
miral Crowninshield regards It as most
important that We keep always fair

world are our vessels more cordially re-

 The stones used to mark the boundary were quawied and carefully cut in Eng land and shipped to America as they were required. At the end of eaeh mile stone having the letter P on one side and M on the other was set up; and a larger post of the same material was erected at the end of every fifth mile, having upon their re- spective sides the arms of the Penn family and those of Lord Baltimore. But it was not until 1767 that they ended their labors, and even then a good deal of the line was slgnalized by only heaps of stones. Many of the posts sent from England were never used at all and several years ago some of them were found to be fin use as steps be- fore a negro cabin at Fort Frederick, on the north bank of the Potomac, in Wash ington county, Md.

Iron In the Arctics

According ito the Zeitschrift fue Ange- wandte Chemic, the largest and at the same time the most northerly iron mine in the world Us situated in the north of Swe- wen, at Kfrunavara A railroad has been built from this mine a distance of 114 miles, to good port, which is accessible to ves- sels of deep draft. The governments of Sweden and Ncrawy bore the expenses of the construction of this railroad which was about $S 900, coo. This bed of one is near the Lake Luossa jaroi, and s.xty-five miles far ther nor'th than the well known and long time worked Gellivare mtne. from which so much of the well-krown fine quality of Swedish iron has come.
 The deposit is said to be even of better quality and afchness than the old mine It is eeItma.ed that there are from 250,OOO OCo ito 300, 900 900 tons of ore in sight and borings that have been made to the depth of 656 feet have led to estimates of the deposit as from 100000 900 tons upward.
 Russia is also starting to open a valuable iron mine in the MagnoEberg district, near Tongorov. The ores in this Russian mire are reported as 65 per cent pure iron and the extent of the deposit is excelled only by the mine of Kirunavara. This Russian iron deposit has been known for some time, but on account of the lack of fuel and transportation nothing has been done to- ward developing it. Quite lately coal of good quality and in large and available veins has been discovered near Tawlograt The Russian finance minister proposed for the government ito build a railroad to con- neo. the coal and iron deposits and to give exit for the finished product and thus re- duce the present high price of iron in Rus sin. This proposition is now to be taken up. and active measures are on foot to de- velop thfs mine.

 When it was remembered that this bound- ary line between the two states was marked 1S3 years ago, and that stone posts then set up have never been repaired where injured or replaced where destroyed, it is seen that the work of restoration is a mat ter of necessity. In fact, comparatively few Of the original posts remain and those which still stand have been sadly ohipped and broken by the ubiquitous relic hunter, Dr. William Bullock Clark, Maryland state geologist, Is authority for the story that in Washington county, Maryland. two of the historic stones ornament the front steps of farmers house.
 It is curious to note that every transac- ton connected with this boundary has been carried out only after protracted delays There was much serious contention about it in England, long before Richard Penn and Lord Baltimore agreed in London in 1766 that Charles Mason and James Dixon should be sent over to survey and establish the line with visible and durable marks It was no easy task.
