CONFEDERATE GRAVES
VIII BE Taken Under Govern
ments Carc--Program For
Refinement Perfected.

Refinement Perfected.
A Washington special says: The
drst step toward the fulallment Of The
plan proposed by President Mckinley
IN his Atlanta, Ga, speech, for gov
eminent care Of the graves Of the con-
lederate dead will be taken in the re-
interment Of confederate dead from
tho several present resting places near
Washington to a new tract in the ma
tional cemetery at Arlington.
The arrangements FOR the ceremo-
MES attending this Refinement are
nearing completion. The committees
having IL in charge we're appointed by
the chief confederate veteran comps,
aud under their direction site has
been selected in Arlington, whore the
bodies will be placed side by side,
comrades in death as they had been in
life.
The site selected by the committee
is one Of the prettiest in Arlington.
The final details Of the arrangements
are now ready for the approval Of the
secretary of war, and after that is
given the program will be announced.
It is the idea OF those who have had
the matter in hand to make the rein
terment an occasion of deep signifi-
canoe A memorial service will be
arranged, and it is very probable that
the Union veterans will join with the
old Confederates in the march to Ar
lington and in the services at the
graves. 1t is believed that a large
number of Confederate veterans, es-
pecially from Virginia and nearby
points, will be in attendance.
A list showing the names and all in
formation obtainable about the bodies
has been prepared, and if the relatives
of any of the dead desire to claim the
bodies for private burial, the informa-
ton concerning the necessary permit
will be furnished by the local Confed-
crate Veterans camps.
The bodies now at Arlington and
which are to be transferred to the new
plot are nearly all those of prisoners
who died in captivity in the old CAPT
tol building, which was used for a fed
eral prison. The list of those now
buried at the Soldiers Home National
cemetery are largely those killed il

HANGED IN EPFIGY.
Dummy Representative of Miss levitt
Found Hanging to a Tree.

Found Hanging to a Tree.
Miss Lillian Clayton Jewetts sud-
den departure from Richmond, Va,
Friday saved her the humiliation of
seeing herself hanged in efigy. Early
Saturday bogus representation of the
Boston anti-slavery agitator was found
dangling from q tree in Monroe park
near the tracks of the railroad leading
to the north. This was the inscription
on the body:

The only colors on the object were
black and white, supposed to be indi-
cative of the races. A black shirtwaist
had been stuffed with excelsior and
the head was piece of white cloth
filled with the same material. The
feet, encased in black stockings, pro
truded some distance from q white un-
derskirt that completed the by no
means complimentary apparel. A long
rope tied about the neck was swung
over the limb of the tree and was held
in position by chunk of wood.

PEOPLE LEAVING GALVESTON
First Move Toward Clearing Up
the InterminabIe Debris Sys-
tematicaIly Inaugurated.

LematlCalIy lnaugurateo.
The first real attempt 30 clear away
the great mass of debris piled along
the beach front at Galveston for dis
lance of several miles, was begun
Friday.
Advertisements were printed in the
News, which appeared for the first
time after the storm, Friday morning,
asking for hundreds of men and boys
to do this work. A multitude respond
ed. They were formed into squads,
and promptly put to work with police
and deputy sheriffs in charge.
1t is hoped that vigorous prosecu-
ton of this work will lead to the early
recovery of bodies still in the debris.

An Associated Press representative
traversed the beach for some distance
and the stencil at different points was
absolutely sickening. Everywhere lit
tie groups of men, women and chill
dren, some of them poorly provided
with rsimept, were digging in the
ruins Of their homes for what little
household property they could save.
In many cases those seeking their
former residences were utterly unable
to discern a simple remnant Of them,
so hopeless is the confusion of tim
bers and household furniture.
The exodus from the city is heavy,
and hundreds were eager to go who
were unable to secure transportation.
Along the bay front there were scores
of families with detected faces plead
ing for permission to be taken from
the stricken city, where, in spite Of
every effort to restore confidence,
there is a universal feeling of depres,
sion.

THE JAPANESE ARMY.
Conscription and Universal Liability
to Military Service.
From the Army and Navy Journal)

From the Army and Navy Journal)
CONSUMPTION and universal liability to
military service rss existed in Japan since
1877. The service is three years with the
colors, four more on permanent firlough
in the reserve of the active army, five
years in the landwehr of mobile militia,
and the remaining eight years in the land
strum OF sedentary militia. The young
Japanese who passed a certain educational
standard and engaged to feed and clothe
himself during his service is required to
serve for one year only. These young men
furnish class OF officers for the militia.
Japan's system is also strictly terrific
rial. like the German. The total num-
bers serving with the colors in 1898 were.
in round figures, 5000 officers and 1000
non commissioned officers and men. But
the japanese army is undergoing a con-
tinuous and steady increase. At the end
of 1894 the numbers were $500 officers and
$4,000 men; SO that the strength was in
creased by more than 5000 men within
three years. This increase has been eff
fected by gradually adding to the number
Of conscripts enrolled in each year.
II is intended that the operation shall
be completed by 1901, by which time the
effective force of the army will have near
ly doubled itself and will consist of forty

les. and 156 battalions of infantry. besides
pioneers and military train. mastering al
together $500 Sficers, 1900 noncommis
stoned officers and $780, 900 men. The terri
tories of the existing six divisions will be-
come army corps districts. each subdivided
into divisional. brigade, regimental. and
finally battalion districts. the last-named
being the recruiting areas on which the
whole superstructure is based.
Japan's whole army system is now work
ed by the Japanese themselves without
any extraneous aid. Their staff officers
are able and intelligent. The maps issued |
by the Japanese military Typographical de |
partment will bear comparison With any. |
Most OF the japanese staff officers have ac
Oured their military education in Ger
many. and many OF them are now attached
to Prussian troops for purposes OF instruc-
ton. The Japanese army seems to attract
as officers a sufficiently large number OF
wealthy and well-bOrn young men. The
Japanese officers enter the army generally |
from cadet school, sometimes direct by
passing literary examination. The Prus-
sian system Is followed here as In other
respects. Good non-commssioned officers
are obtained by means of school where
men OF all branches of the service. who
show special aptitude. are trained end

MuzzIcd witch Dogs.

There is one feature OF the recent muzzle

lation OF the District almost as directly as
the dogs. Cruelty TO animals is bad
enough, but in this case the risk OF human
property and even of human life, is added

As residents OF the suburbs know. the
police force of Washington is not nearly
large enough to protect all parts of the

where a policeman is hardly ever seen.
and the population of the city is of such
a nature that some Of the richest people

This has been well called city of homes;
and along its boundaries are many houses
full of all kinds OF treasure and protected
mainly by watch dogs. The usefulness of
these dogs is. of course destroyed when
they are muzzled, and the thieves know
it. Being assured that the faithful bull
dog or m6siiff is rendered helpless, ard
that no policeman is within call, what
