system, and Chile and Peru are also arm
ing forces
The several movements have had the
general effect of establishing a common
basis between Peru, Bolivia, Argentina
and Brazil While there is no suggestion
thus far that these united republics
would use force against Chile, 1t is APP
preciated that the present situation might
lead to serious results. The Chilean army
is directed by able German officers, the
commander being Gen. Koener, a German
officer, who was placed at the head of the
army about ten years ago. Some forty
other foreign officers, chiefly German

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY.
Little Doubt That Plenty of Good
Men Can BE Recruited.

WASHINGTON, Nov 26-In view
or the probable call upon the war de-
partment to make a sudden increases
IN the enlisted strength of the army
after the present regular force has beeH
discharged, it is a matter of cousiderJ
able interest to see what may be donA
by the various recruiting offices toward
building up the new regiments when
The number and strength of these Is
determined by the passage of the army
reorganization bill. 1t is said at tho
war department that for several months
past the chief trouble has been to keen
from over recruiting the regular regi-
ments now in service. In spite of the
fact that active war hardly cen be said
TO exist. even in the Philippines, there
mas been strong pressure for enlistment
and the recruiting officers, it is said,
have been able to pick and choose men
of a very high Standerd of excellence
owing to the large number of appli-
cants. The department counts with
considerable confidence on the re-enlist-
ment Of a large number of men whose
term Of service will expire June 80, 1901
At the same time, if the army reors
gantzation bill provides for perma-
nent force of $4,000 men or over and
it is not thought likely that it will fall
below this figure, there will be $4,000
men to enlist beaween the date of the
passage of the bill and the discharge
of the present regulars June 3d. Tie
chief recruiting officer of the depart
ment, Maj. Johnson, says that it is inn
possible to make any predictions as to
the speed with which the recruiting can
be carried on, but that it will depend
largely upon the number of officers that
the department can detail for recruiting
duty. When the Spanish-American war
was officially declared to be ended, and
the discharge II the volunteers required
the recruits, Of the fresh regiments to
begin there were 25,00O new men added
to the regular establishment in the
space Of about six weeks, in spite Of the
fact that volunteer officers at that time
were recruiting all over the country to
fill up the volunteer regiments. The
first regiments enlisted for the regular
service were recruited, equipped and
drilled and ready for transportation on
an average of forty -four days each, mora
than ten days quicker than the average
for the regiments enlisted at the be-
ginning of the Spanish war.

Return of n Fargo Man REEVES a
Mysterious Death

FARGO, y. D., Nov. 25.-Frank ].
Feberger returned to the city last night
and what at the time was considered
a mysterious death is again mystery
A year ago last August the body of a
man was found in the river short dis
lance from tSIe city. The body was de-
composed, but it was noticeable that
the nose was partly removed, as if by
an operation. Feberger had such an
operation performed and as he had dis
appeared from town about the time the
body was found the coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict that Feberger was the
dead man and that he came to his death
by drowning accidentally. Feberger was
a driver at the county hospital and he
explains that he left his employment
there and went west without telling any
one OF his intentions or leaving an adj
dress. He was surprised to learn, that
by the grace of a cornoer's jury he was
supposed to be filling a paupers grave
The identity of the man found in the
river will forever remain a mystery
now, it is SurmiSSed.
