ARMY REORGANIZATION BILL.
Radical Changes TO BE Made in II by
the Senate.


The prospect of an army reorgsniza-
ton measure being adopted before the
holiday adjournment has been almost els
sipated by reference Of the bill TO a sub
committee OF the regular Senate commit
tee for consideration. The new measure
is to include points which have been sug-
gested by members of the Senate commit
tee
The most aggressive fight is being wag-
ed over the eanteen clause, and the full
strength of the War Department is be-
ing exerted TO have the LAW continued
as it exists Almost equally powerful in
fuences are being pressed upon the corr
mittee by those opposing the canteen.
Even should the House provision be in
Guided, the fight is expected to continue
on the floor
While steps are being taken to restrain
staff officers from expressing opinions ad-
verse to the departments views on stan
clauses. { strong lobby is at work. It was
this lobby which was responsible for the
defeat Of an Army Reorganization bill last
session. The staff opposes certain Tea
lures in the Administrations bill because
they are not the benehciarieS. and see.
perhaps. loss OF prestige regardless CT the
fact that. as Secretary Root states. the
stan corps are decidedly in need Of an
overhauling and the Introduction of bet
ter material The fact also that no STAFF
appointments under the tenure OF the tsIl
viii be for permanent tenure of Office
causes opposition from the staff. which
holds to the theory that a staff officer
should SO remain and not be required to
return to the line.
The clause relating to the pay corps
appears 10 have been received with ap-
proyal, although some complaint is made
that vacancies are not reserved for tie
officers who have been wounded in action
but that it has been deemed best to show
favor to volunteer officers who served as
additional paymasters. There has been
also some criticism of the requirements
that officers detailed for temporary staff
duty shall pass examinations before be-
ing assigned The purpose of the provis-
ion is to make the qualifications of detail
something besides political and personal
influence, but II is held by the critics that
hardly any officer will care to present
himself for examination for a tour of duty
in the staff corps covering period OF four
years.
This provision may be changed in the
Senate committee When the Senate gels
through with the bill it's friends in the
House will probably scarcely recognize
the original measure.

he is SO uneonseiously, but not the less
severely. It must be considered as of the
nature of American humor to say that the
United States would not ALLEVIATE one inch
OF its territory. The Brazilian diplomat
could hardly have heard OF the invasion
Of Alaska by Canadian troops, its seizure,
occupation and annexation to the British

tons peaceable surrender of-the pirated

Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake is about
to organize a second woman's suf-

feate candidate for the presidency
of the National Suffrage association
after the abdication of Susan b
Anthony. When Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait succeeded to that Office Mrs
Blake's friends openly threatened a
second organization. holding that she
by reason of long service and zeal ir
the cause, was logically entitled tc
that honor. The new body of sui.

tional Legislative association and its
aim will be to carry on the yearly
campaign at the capitals, national
and state, which. in Mrs. Blake's be.
lief, is the sole hope of the suffrage

circles during the season will be one

Graduate Manager H. P. Gamble has
at last determined upon foot ball coach
for the season of 1900. Through DR..
Norlin his attention was called 10 Mr.
T. w. Mortimer OF Chicago University.
Mr. Mortimer played tackle on the Chica-
go University team in 90 when only IS
yards were made through his position
during the whole season. He has also
played the positions of guard and end.
One thing that speaks much in his favor
is that he has had experience in coaching
before. Last year he had charge Of the
Englewood high school team, which he
brought from obscurity to the champion
ship. One thing that the University will
notice above, from the splendid example
set by Mr. Folsom, is the ability Of its
coach TO himself follow the strictest Of
training rules In this it is claimed that
Mr. Mortimer will rival "Bill" himself.
incidentally it may be mentioned that
Mr. Mortimer is the champion hammer
thrower Of the West.-Silver & Gold.
