COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100, mEH.

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand. It demands an army
Of 100000 men and it wants 5000, 00O,-
600 for the next year to support it's
pretensions.
The navy department wants SIS, OO0,-
900. The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end Of the fiscal year, June 80,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than 5000, 600, 900. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all vo1un-
teers and regulars in excess Of about
10000 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901, and Quartermaster-G
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home Of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
It will be necessary to recruit regi-
ments to take the place Of the vOlun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
+ to Manila
The pay Of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 900 600 There will be a heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance, ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary- General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was $11, 112,242, and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated SIPS, lie, 583, and it
will undoubtedly be larger for the next

A moment before the schemer hae

Winter. Each in turn had accepted
the message with o fine show Of con-

discuss the matter. She knew that
both would attend. She was informed

q jealousy, from its first hint to tn

The North Grove was the site Of s
ruin. At the spot the Trumbos haG
built their first home. when they
came here from Virginia-just George
Trumbo, his young wife and he,
younger sister. It had first been .
log cabin. Then with prosperity's de-
mand It had given place to q small
brick cottage. Trees stood about the
cabin and the cottage, and they were
here yet. Hence the grove. Fire had
destroyed the cottage. Then came the
grass-grown and shrub-dotted mound
that hid the debris of broken brick
and stone. The chalet arose as the
rich mans home, and the North Grove
was an almost hallowed spot.
Near to the foot Of the mound. on
the side toward the chalet, was the
deep and ancient we'll that had served
the Trumbo home In the old days. but
its waters we're now unusued and it
had been covered many years with
heavy planks, almost overgrown with
the rank grass. MI
