FOR THE OLD VETERANS.


Washington, Jan. 23.-Gen. Albert
d. Shaw, commander-in-chief of the
q. A. r., and the pension committee
Of that organization had a hearing
Monday before the house committee
on invalid pensions in the pending
bill to amend and make more clear
the act Of June 27, 1899. Gen. Shaw
spoke briefly and the main arguments
were made by Chairman Brown, OF
GAINESVILLE, o., and Gen. Daniel +.
Sickles, the old commander of the
Third army corps.
The principal feature of the argu-
ments was that the law he made so
clear as to be beyond the possibility
of misconstruction. Some minor
changes were proposed in the CALM
ger bill and in the main its provisions
were approved as giving the remedies
desired. Gen. Siekles added a vigor-
Gus plea for adequate attention by
the government to the veterans in
their old age and infrmities.

REPRESENTS ONLY HIMSELF.


Washington, Jan. 23.--Both the
state and the interior department
authorize the most sweeping denial
of the story that Webster Davis, as
sistant secretary Of the interior, is
clothed with any diplomatic mission.
1t is declared that he represents no
department of the United States gov
ernment In his visit to South Africa,
but is there in personal capacity.
Since his arrival at Cape Town, where
he went to visit his cousin, Consul
General Stowe, the state department
has been very much annoyed at the
misconstruction that has been placed
upon his visit. 1t was to prevent
further Misunderstanding on that
score that the department positively
declined Mr.. Davis application for
leave of absence for Mr.. Stowe, who
wished to accompany Mr.. Davis to
Pretoria,

London, Nov. 12-According to the Daily Mail a scheme of army reform of sweeping character will come into oper- ation early next year.
 "The scheme" says the Daily Mail, Twill make a British private trained soldier. Instead of system giving the recruit mainly housemaid's work, and allowing no more than six weeks of military training, he will in future get ten months of scientific drilling, all fa- tigue and orderly duties being perform ed by special corps of time expired men.
 "The first fourth months will be de- voted to company training, including scouting, entrenching, bridging and taking cover. The second four months will be used in battalion manoeuvres, attacking and defending positions, and field firing. Two months will be given to grand nanoeuvres on a war scale. The remaining two months of the first year will be occupied by furloughs.
 "The greatest attention will be devot- ed to craftsmanship, and the allowance of ammunition will be greatly increas- ed Artillery training will also be in- proved. The war office is now acquir- ing control of large tracts of land in various parts of the country for train- ing grounds"
