ment believe that the election In the
United States win have good effect
in the Philippines and win lead the
more sensible FIllpInos to abandon the
lnsurrectlon. At the same time the Off
GERS look forward to a long period Of
guerilla warfare.
1t is realized that the independent,
irresponsible life OF the military free
bcoter has many attractions for many
OF the Filiplnos, who would rather ex-
tort tribute at the muzxle OF their rifles
than work for their living. Even II
the insurgents should be deprived Of
the leadership OF Agulnaldo and Of
many OF the other more influential
among them. It will probably take
several years and considerable mili-
tary force TO eradicate all the wander
ing bands,
Much is expected to be accomplished
by the American troops between this
time and January /. when the with
drawal OF the volunteers will be ac-
lively begun, Unless congress shall so
amend the law under which the present
volunteer army was enlisted as to per
init volunteers TO be DISCHARGED in the
Philippines and subsequently transport
ed to the United States. it viii be nec-
esSary to begin the homeward move
ment Of the volunteers before January
in order that all may be mustered
out in the United States by June 50,
This necessity is regarded by the mill
itary authorities as most unfortunate.
Only two regiments Of infantry and q
battery Of artillery were withdrawn for
service in China, yet the Filipino lead
ers encouraged their followers TO be-
lieve that the United States was aban-
doning the struggle. II is feared that
the withdrawal OF more than $4,000 men
will lead the Filiplnos to believe the
abandonment OF the islands has begun
in earnest.
Unless General MacArthur's pending
shall be attended by very good
results and unless the effect of the cleo
tons in the United States shall be all
that has been proposed. the country can
not look forward to any immediate ma
terial decrease OF expenditures on ac-
count Of the military and naval opera
tions in the Philippines.

MINISTERIAL PROGRAM.
Reorganization OF the British Military
System Has Already Begun.

NEW YORK, Nov, IA DISPATCH TO
the Tribune from London says;
The first council since the reorganl-
zation OF the government win be held
at Windsor today, The ministerial
program for the session OF parliament
will be worked out IN series Of cabinet
meetings before Christmas.
The ministry Is committed TO a single
pollcy-the reorganization OF the milf
tary system, and this may mean much
or little, Probably there will be u long
period ot expert Investigation after
Lord Roberts return and no Immediate
legislation, A large number. Of technl-
cal questions referring TO guns. cav
airy equipment. transport and other de-
tails win be raised and the system Of
training soldiers will be altered. These
matters do not require legislation but
are purely administrative.
one change has already been made
almost without observation. The Brit
ish soldiers In South Africa knew al
most nothing about intrenohlng At
Colenso and Magersfontein they did not
use the spade and when they tried 70
dig on the summit OF Splon Kop they
made very bad trenches, An army Of
ficer tells me that IN recent maneuvers
In various parts OF the United Kingdom
the soldiers have been drilled In the
use OF the spade and taught the art
OF entrenchment. This art teaches the
method by which the campaign will be
taken TO heart in the future training
Of the British army. Legislation will
probably be restricted to money grants
for the improvement OF the artillery
equipment Of the army, fortidcatIons.
coallng stations and exposed ports and
for the strengthening of the fleet.
One other point will not be lost sight
OF. This Is in the coordination OF the
resources Of the colonies and the moth
er state In comprehensive scheme OF
imperial defense. Arrangements Will
probably be made with the aid OF Mr..
Chamberlain. for an imperial council OF
some kind. in which Canada. Australia
and Other self-soverning colonies will
be represented. for the purpose Of com.
mon consultation respecting complete
system OF defense.

GLASGOW HAS HOPES.
Wants 20 Become Equal to Liverpool
as a Shipping Port.

NEW YORK. Nov. l2--Among the
passengers who arrived on the steamer
Lucania was Captain +. White. r. N,
who for twenty-three years has been
port warden at Glasgow. He Is on
his way to Buffalo to study the Amer-
can system Of handling ores and grain,
with a view Of introducing the SANE
system in Glasgow. He said:
Glasgow hopes to become equal to
Liverpool as regards shipping. Within
two or three years the revenues OF
Glasgow for wharfage have Increased
from 100000 a year to e475.OOO The
ship yards Of the Clyde have not been
affected by the building Of large yards
in Ireland. France and Germany. The
demand for tonnage Of enormous sizes
and the greater number Of ships re-
quired for the present active market
have given Glasgow much prestige
She is today putting out more than
five-eighths Of the total ships built In
the United Kingdom"
Joseph Letter. Of Chicago, was also q
passenger OH me Lucania. He went
abroad a short time ago.

said. ''or turned out the finished pro-
duct so cheap. In no great time Amer

HAY RETURNS TO ENGLAND.
But the Cabinet VIII Remain Intact
Till March 4.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Journal
and Advertiser says in a Washington
dispatch:
That Secretary Of State Hay shall re-
turn to the Hall Of st. James as the am
bassador from the United States is the
determination Of the president. His
plan is based on the desire Of the pres
ent administration. the British foreign
office and Secretary Hay himself No
ambassador or minister from the United
States has ever been so welcome as
Colonel Hay will be in London.
officials say there is time enough 10
consider what viii be given to Mr..
Choate. the present ambassador at Lon
don. Mr.. Choate may resume his law
practice in New York or he may con-
slider that an exchange of places with
Colonel Hay would not be undesirable.
But Secretary Roots name has recently
been mentioned for the state portfolio.
Says the Times in a special from
Washington:
The talk about the immediate dis
ruption Of the cabinet is without foun-
dation. The cabinet will stand by the
president until his next Inauguration.
Those members who are anxious to re-
tire will have their chance then. New
ertheless there will be changes on
March 4. though the president would
be satisfied IL there were not. Many
Of the members OF the present cabinet
are anxious to return to private life.
The most conspicuous example is
Attorney-General Griggs. who makes a
considerable sacrifice by remaining,
Postmaster General Smith accepted his
place solely because the president
wanted him in the cabinet. He has no
great liking for the office. though he
tas studied his duties and discharged
them conscientiously. Mr.. Smith would
like to leave the pOstoffice department
but It is probable that he will be trans
ferred TO some other Office so that Mr.
Mckinley may still have him in the
cabinet
Secretaries Gage and Long have often
been spoken Of as anxious to retire
This leads to confident statements that
they will not be in the next cabinet
There is 10 certainty Of that, however
The president has already induced Mr.
Long to remain in the cabinet against
his wish and may do 80 again.
Secretary Root will almost certainly
be in the next cabinet. There is no man
upon whom the president more thor
oughly relies. He will continue to be
secretary Of war unless Mr.. Hay re-
tires. in which case Mr.. Root probably
will take the state department. secre-
tary Wilson will also remain in the cab
met. unless all signs fail. Nothing ia
known about the intention Of Secretary
Hitchcock.

DISCRIMINATION IN THE ARMY.
Adjutant- General Corbin Thinks West
Point Graduates Do Not Have a
Fair Chance.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12.-Adjutant-
General Corbin. according to a Tribune
special from Washington. has started
a movement to induce congress to re-
move from the statute books law that
makes an unjust discrimination against
West Pointers in the army. 1t is al
most inexplicable. says the adjutant
that such legislation should ever have
been enacted or have remained in force
for welve years as that which fav0rs
the promotion Of enlisted men to COM
missions above the young men specially
educated at government expense to
fill commands.
In his current annual report General
Corbin devotes considerable space to
the act of June IS. 1878, which provided
for the promotion to the grade of com
handing officer of meritorious non-com-
missioned officers who shall be found
morally. intellectually and physically
qualified for promotion. and the act
of July 30, 1892, which extends to all
unmarried soldiers under thirty years
and possessing the requisite qualifica-
tions the privilege of competing at pre-
scribed examinations for commissions.
That the law operated well in at
tracing to the ranks superior class
Of intelligent young men was demon
strated by the yearly increasing num-
Der who obtained admission into the
command branch Of the army. There
were six in 1893 and sixty-eight in 1900.
These men were compelled to serve in
the ranks only two years under the law,
and calling attention to this fact. Cen
eral Corbin says:
Experience has shown that two
years is too brief a period in which en-
listed men can fit themselves for the
important duties Of command officers
1t is little less than travesty to say
that man can qualify as an officer
by serving as an enlisted man in one
half the time required for cadet to
complete his course at West Point. It
Is recommended that the law be amend
ed to read four years instead Of two

ranks and military academy on the
same footing"

AMERICA LEARNS SECRETS.
Agent OF the Government Gains Exact
knowledge OF New French Guns.

huONituke OF New fTenCn OunS.
NEW YORK. Nov. IA special dis
patch from Washington to the Herald
says that II was decided surprise to
the representatives OF the foreign gov
ernments at the capital and to the
United States officials generally to learn
that an agent OF the United States
war department. as had been published.
had obtained such exact and detailed
knowledge Of the plan for the new
French field guns as to enable him TO
construct such gun for the United
States.
French field artillery is admittedly in
advance OF that OF any other govern-
ment in the world. There have been
important features about the guns and
their carriages that have been for sew
eral years kept secret from the other
powers.
1t was ON charge Of having re-
vealed to Germany some Of the features
Of an earlier type OF this gun that
Captain Dreyfus was sentenced to inn
prisonment on DEVILS island. 1t was
equally surprising that the war de-
partment permitted this information to
become public. but no one was more
surprised at the publication than We're
the high officials OF the department.
What course the French government
win adopt in the matter no one at
Washington knows. No fault can be
found with the government for accept
ing the information that has been Of
fered. Several civilized governments
maintain military and naval attaches at
the capitals OF other powers for the
express purpose of learning all that Is
possible about the armaments OF the
countries to which they are accredited.

ever with the matter 1t is intimated
that the individual who disclosed the in

ECZEMA
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
