In Great Britain only a few years
ago American petroleum had almost Q
monopoly. From January l to August
l. 1900, the imports were 5000, 900 gal
Ions of American and 2,S40,OOO gallons
Of Russian petroleum. The reason Tor
this is said to be the fact that large
Russian oil fields have been acquired
by Englishmen.

sketch Of Gen. sicklee

General Daniel E. Sickles. most
prominent of the union generals at the
recent encampment in Chicago. is e
years old. He was educated at the
University of New York. located in his
native city, became a printer, a lawyer,
q member of the state legislature and
a congressman, secretary of the United
States legation at London, and a leader
in the councils of Tammany Hall. That
was his career before the war. When
Sumter was fired on he raised the
Sickles brigade. and after taking part
in several battles, saw severe service
before Richmond. After Antietam he
was made commander of the Third
army corps. At Gettysburg he lost q
leg, but remained in active service un-
til 1865. when he was sent on q special
mission to South America. The fol-
lowing year he was made a colonel in
the regular army, from which he re-
tired in 1869 with the rank of major
general. He has since served as Unit.
ed States minister to Spain, and has
been prominent as q railroad mana.

calaes for War rid,n.

A German officer, Major Wachs, has
recently called attention to the wise
foresight Of England in laying down a
network Of cables over the whole
world, thus making all other countries
her tributaries. A statement made In
the oficial bulletin Of LIE Progress
Militaire is interesting in this connec-
ton. 1t runs as follows: III we ex-
anime upon q chart the tracks of the
submarine cables linking Europe with
the far east We shall see that France
remains, for much the greater part of
the distance, but a tributary Of Eng
land, and shall hardly be astonished
to find that We are the last to obtain
any authentic tidings." 1t is high time
We took a lesson from the experience
Of England in this respect, at least
to the extent of providing for a Pa
cifc cable under our control.

Dessnses Of Paris.

Perhaps you have Just returned
Paris, enthusiastic Ove the sights
there. Here are some Of the things
you didn't see: Seven great forts about
the city, eight miles away from its
walls. Nineteen smaller forts. four
miles out, each containing three acres
and mounting two 95-ton guns. Great
stacks of -10O-pound melinite shells.
ready for these guns to hurl. Twen-
ty-one miles Of continuous f0rtiica-
lions about the town-earthwork walls
$50 feet thick at the base and frOnted
by 45-foot meats. Three hundred en-
placements along this giant wall for
as many 95-ton cannon. kept free from
rust in the Champs de Mars arsenal.
and ready to be swung into place Al
any time. So cleverly are the forts
masked by long slopes Of green turf,
and the walls by trees and bushes. that
one can pass in and out of Paris a
dozen times and see scarcely a trace
of its famous Notifications. The range
Of the 95-ton guns is rel ten miles
some say fourteen. Beneath their, at
present, untenanted beds on the ram
part are stone classmates for ammuni-
ton. with small transfer wagons.
These classmates open upon the inner
base of the wall. and a set of rails,
standard gauge, runs from the door
Why to the top of the fertilization.
You must look for these rails in the
grass, the general staff is so modest.
Suppose war comes and the 800 guns
must be mounted. Well, the stan has
thought of that The rails-standard
gauge-that lie ready for the ammuni-
ton wagons can be linked with the
tramway system Of Paris. To work
these guns, were every man of the gar
rison drafted away. Paris has $1,000
trained artillerymen among her re-
servists. She could man every gun
twice over, garrison all her forts with
infantry r~eservists, and put q dozen
cavalry regiments into the field for
scouting purposes. Every r~eservist.
whether Partisan born-;or. provincial
Immigrant, has a book containing his
number. particulars of his service, and
a memorandum Of the barrack to
which he must repair upon the calling
of the reserves. In case Of war lines
carefully maintained would be switch
ed into uss, and the tramway system
would be in communication with the
enormous goods depots of the Paris
termini. Not rolling stock only, but
horsefesh would be requisitioned. Ev-
cry horse over four years old is regis
tered, together with his type, owner,
and probable utility. The general staff
could choose from some 120. 900 horses.
The military stores Of Paris are
boundless. In a day she could clothe
and arm 100000 fighting men, with
10000, 900 rounds of melinite car
tridges.. At the army bakeries she
eserves large stores of grain. In Ease
of siege the general staff has a censor

cipality. which at all times fixes the
price of bread and would do SO of other

1t is urged in the annual report Of
Major General John r. Brooke, com.
handing the department Of the east.
at New York, which was made public
at the war department recently, that q
pressing necessity exists for the reor.
.~ganization Of the army on modern
lines. He says:
For many years past the general
oficers Of the army have shown the
necessity for an increase which will
place the army on an efficient basis
and enable it to perform its duties
with credit to itself and to the salts
faction Of the nation. The events since
the commencement of the Spanish
war have demonstrated beyond doubt
the necessity for a reorganization
which will enable this nation to main.
tain the position in which it now finds
itself placed, SO that, in case of wal,
the army may form the bulwark be-
hind which the volunteer army may be
created, as has always been done in
our country, by organizing the peo-
