TO IMPROVE THE
ARMY SERVICE
General Joseph Wheeler Wants New
Regulations and Course of In
struction Revised.
fBy Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, September 2-lmportant
regula ton for improving the army service
are contained in the report of the COM
mander of the Department of the Lakes,
issued to-day. The report was prepared
by General JOSEPH, Wheeler before his
retirement, and says:
"At least four-tifths of the recruits from
this department have gone into foreign
service without instruction in rifle prac-
tice. ana many of them without having
any rifles issued to them. 1t is needless
to say that these men are liable to be
put on the firing Tine before they know
how to load ard fire their rifles, aside from
the fact that they have never been taught
to hit the object at which they shoot
The report also recommends that
board of experienced officers be appointed
to revise the course OF instruction az the
infantry and cavalry schools. Some OF
the teachings, General Wheeler says, are
not adapted to present usage.
The report continues: I also recon-
mend that speed in marching be given
considerable attention. have found from
experience in the Philippines that the
quick step was not tiresome to the men.
have discovered that by marching 50
minutes and resting five, troops could cas-
fly cover three miles an hour, and some
times even exceed that speed.

the Shooting OF Strikers

By Associated Press.)


PHILADELPHIA, September 2-At the
end of the strike in the anthracite coal
fields of Pennsylvania there is not lacking
a desire on the part of some OF the strlk-
ers to return to their work. This sentl-
ment is credited to the English-speaklnS
among the mine workers. Experience has
shown that these men are the most con-
servative, the foreigners being the most
impulsive and hot-tempered in strike
times.
Notwithstanding the outbreak. necessi-
tating the sending of troops to schuylklll
county, every thing is quiet in the coal re-
gion tonight There is a feeling that ef-
forts will be made in all districts to start
,lp mines that are idle. The persistence OF
corporations and individual mine owners
in asserting that they will consider srlev-
ances of their employees individually. but
will never, under any circumstances. treat
with the United Mine Workers, had un-
doubtedly had its effect, and it will not be
surprising if many mines that have
been tied up since the strike besaD will
resume operations, at least partly, the be-
ginning of next week.

Investigation is in Progress and Re-
wards Have Been Offered.
MAY FINALLY BE ACCOUNTED FOR
When the Paying Teller Discovered
That He Was Short, He Reported
the Matter to the Officers
of the Institution,
and Inquiry
MAY FINALLY BE ACCOUNTED FOR

Local banking circles are considerably
exercised over report that it has been
discovered that the cash account of one
of the leading Richmond banks shows q
discrepancy of about 5000. It is not IN
derstood as yet that the bank is actually
loser to that extent, but that the case is
of such a character that the president OF
the institution has offered reward OF
$50 to the person detecting the error OF
indicating what has become of the money.
and that this inducement has been doubled
by the paying teller of the bank, VINO mas
charge of the funds in the vault.
The greatest secrecy has been ooser'eo
in regard to the matter, and no delinite
details have been forthcoming Until
late hour last night, only rev 4eaains
banking officials knew that anything was
wrong al the institution, which Is one OF
the Oldest most reliable, and most care
ful banking Institutions IN ths onhteo
States. Those connected with l1chmollu )
financial Institutions VINO We're approached
last night, decline to discuss the suDJect,
though two or three of them practically
admitted that reports Were atioat TO
the effect that discrepancy had come TO
light in one of the banks.
HOW DISCOVERED.
From what could be learned 1t seems
that the paying teller OF the BANK u,
counting UP mis- cash the other day, loeho
that ne was 5000 short. While the facts
are not known it is reported that one
pa ckage of money, amounting to $500 was
| missing. The loss could not be expiaSled
by a reference to the books. and tue teller
! at once reported the matter and an inVes-
| tisation was commenced Up to TINS tiine
| the disappearance of the money Is unac-
| counted for.
The bank in question always has large
| sums OF cash ON hand, and such a loss
would not in the slightest Interfere Wiz
/ it's business, even If the mystery should
| never be explained and the sum inVoived
accounted for It is confidently believed
however, that the inquiry now being CON

occurred There arc several ways in whicf

PARIS. September 22-Under tent COW
erng 5000 square metres, 10000 persons
breakfasted as the guests of France .n
the Tuiueries Gardens to-day The ban
quet was given by President Loubet to
the mayors of municipalities Of France It
can be safely said that such a prodigious
repast was never before undertaken. The
arrangements had been going on for some
weeks, and resulted in such excellence of
detail that the event was carried to per-
fection without hitch.
MAX REGIS RUN OUT.
There was one unpleasant incident Max
Regis, the anti-Semite Mayor Of Algiers,
tried to secure a hearing, but his voice
was drowned by shouts of the assemblage.
The police finally intervened and led Regis
from the banquet, after some of those
present had thrown articles of food at his
head.
Just at noon President Loubet, accompa-
MED by the Cabinet Ministers, arrived at
the Place de la Concorde in carriages.
The crowd gave the Presidential party a
very great ovation. Hats were thrown
into the air, women waved handkerchiefs
and umbrellas and cheers for the Presi-
dent were given heartily.
NJ. LOubet and the ministers entered the
tent and ascended to a raised platform,
on which was the table Of honor and where
the dignitaries were seated. The band then
PLAYED the 'MarseiHaise' and the 10000
persons present arose, and with their faces
turned toward the President, loudly ac-
claimed him. It was an impressive sight
and is said to be the greatest ovation M
Loubet ever received.
AN ARMY OF SERVANTS.
When he had taken his seat the Won
derful machinery of the service was set
in motion and the 21,s70 domestics Of va
rfous descriptions began furnishing the tine
menu to also the same number OF diners.
For two hours the feast continued, con-
cluding at Q o'clock.
After NJ. Loubet had delivered a short
address, congra tuiating the country and
mayors on such harmony of purpose. he
asked the mayors to carry back to their
homes a report to the effect that the
republic remained steadfast to the prin-
ciple of the revolution, because our patriot
ism equals our love for the republic, and
because we wish France to be free. strong,
glorious and united beneath the reign OF
law and justice and respected abroad for
her genius and power of her arms and
her sincere love for peace

Railroads Continue to Break Records
Despite the Contrary Pre-

unprecedented, but from the present out

Readers of The Times will remember
that a short time ago a we'll known rail
road man, in the course of an interview,
declared that while the railroads contin-
ued to an increase in earnings owed those
OF last year. yet these increases We're
attributable to increased rates, and not to
the amount of business done. In fact, the
tonnage had shown decrease, and the
then present Industrial conditions were not
such as were calculated to inspire the
brightest hopes.
Since that time however, the business
conditions of Richmond and Virginia have
undergone complete metamorphasis, and
the tonnage originating al and handled
into Richmond during the present month
has surpassed all previous records. in
cluding even those of the record-breaking
year of 1899.
The reasons for Richmond's prosperity
along this line can be easily seen. This
city has among her industrial plants the
largest in the Southern States. Orders are
booked by these plants for months ahead
and necessarily the demand for raw mate
rails will continue. The largest Touring
mills in the South are at Richmond: the

tion of trusts Hanna also said:
| believe there is not trust in the

law and in every state there is law
against trusts. They cannot exist
and every law against trusts, national
or state has been the product Of the
republican law makers and the credit
is due the republican party. l have
no objection to the democrats Oppos-
ing trusts, but they have not got any
patent on it. Bryan will stand on any
platform they make for him, ride any
hobby, indorse any. issue, yes, he will
even abuse me for the sole purpose of
being personal. That IS all he wants

1t will thus be seen from the pros
pectuS that the advantages secured by
the cutting down Of expenses, will
double the income, and not word is
said about giving the advantages Of
this reduction to the consumer. The
money taken from the travelling men,
from the hOtelkeepers. from the rail
roads, from the liverymen, from the
newspapers, and from others who suf-
FER by the discharge of travelling sales
men, clerks. etc, will all be added to
the profits of the monopoly. The stock
was to be watered. and prices main
tanned to pay dividends upon fictitious
capital.
TO give a further guarantee to
the monopoly, the prospectus says that
the principal men connected with the
various companies would become iden-
titled with the company and would
contract not to engage in like busi-
ness for ten years. But what about
the public? What guarantee has the
public that this monopoly will not
raise prices? Is it not human nature
to make all the profit possible out of a
monopoly? Is it not reasonable to ex-
pect that the monopoly, after eliElinat-
ing the statesmen, and adding their
salaries, and expenses to the profit ac-
count. will seek further profit by
raising prices, and lowering wages?
Is it not reasonable also to expect that
there will be deterioration in quality
when the spur Of competition no long
er cOmpelS the manufacturer to furnish
the best goods for the lowest possible
price!
