CHANGES NEW YORK CHARTER
Revision Commission Favors n Single
Headed Police Hoard.


New York, Dec. 1.-The Greater
New York charter revision commits
sioners are busy preparing their final
findings and putting their report in
form. II is likely that the commission
report will be handed to Gov. Roose-
welt on Monday. He has intimated
that 1t will be made public on the day
he receives it.
The commissioners are said to have
decided in favor of single-headed
police board. the reduction of the
municipal legislature from two bodies
to one, the establishment Of munich
pal printing plant and the giving of
more power to the mayor in the mat
ter of removing city officials. The find
ings of the commissioners are being
carefully guarded. The new charter
contains 100000 words and the report
accompanying it 1000. Most OF the
members Of the commission are in ia
vor Of Gov. Roosevelt's recommended
ton for a single head of the police
department and also for the educa.
tional department.
The important changes relating to
the financial department are those
suggested by Comptroller Coler. based
,pon his experience for the last three

Minimum Figures in the War Depart

Washington, Dec. 1.-Reorganiza

strength of 1924 and a maximum
force 96.766, Is provided for in a bill
sent by Secretary Root to the house
committee on military affairs and
made public tonight By the provis-
ons of this measure 1t will rest with
the president how many of the 1882
men between the minimum and maxi
mum totals are to be in the service at
any time. In letter to the committee
Secretary Root calls attention to the
fact that without further legislation
the volunteers now in service must be

men. Then he gives his reasons for
urging prompt action. Without leay-
ing much, II any margin, for sickness,
such as the campaigns of the last two
years warn us must be counted as an
important factor in any occupation by
the army, peaceful or warlike. Of
many of the islands which constitute
the Philippine group" he writes. the
strength thus fixed must prove utterly
inadequate, leaving out Of considera-

in Porto Rico, and. for the time being.
in Cuba. The history of our Indian
wars is replete with incidents show
ing the futility Of sending an made
quate force to bring into subsection
hostile natives such as those occupying
the Philippine islands. 1t is presumed,
under these conditions, that congress
will provide a sufficient number of
men to care for the coast defense for
tillcations, to provide garrisons for the
more or less permanent posts on the
Canadian and Mexican borders and
those scattered through the Indian
country, small garrisons in Porto Rico
and Cuba, and sufficient force in the
Philippine islandsfo restore order and
establish peaceful and stable condi-
tons of government"

show sympathy With the Beer..

The Hague, Dec. 3.-During the
course Of the debate on the budget in
the second chamber to-day Herr Ker-
dyk, radical. reiterated his opinion
that the Netherlands ought to have de-
clined the honor of converting the
peace conference unless the Transvaal
was admitted. He highly approved OF
the offer of the Dutch government to
intervene between the Transyaal and
Great Britain before the war. and es-
pecially commended the offer to place
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland at Mr..
Kruger's disposal to convey him from
South Africa to Europe. This act. he
said, had been applauded by the whole
world. The remarks of Herr Kerdyk
were greeted with loud cheers.

FARMERS FIELD is WIDER,
Export of Agricultural Products Steadily
Increasing.


Increasing.
Washington, Dec. Secretary Will
son of the agricultural department
takes the ground that appropriations
for the department should be regarded
as an investment. for the reason that
they make direct returns therefor by
adding to the wealth of the country.
He advances this theory In his annual
report. which was made public today.
Important extensions OF the weather
bureau have been made during the
year. Much stress is laid upon tho
continued Improvement of the fore
east service and the value Of its warn
tngs. The secretary points out that.
Notwithstanding the great number Of
craft plying the Gulf of Mexico at the
time OF the Galveston storm the warn
ings were so timely that there was no
disaster upon the open waters. Sue
cessful experiments have been made
with wireless telegraphy.
During the quarantine season OF
1899 over 100000 cattle were moved
under the supervision of the bureau
from the district infected with the
southern cattle tick
Experimental shipments of dairy
products are still continued and ship
ments of butter have been extended TO
Cuba and Porto Rico. The secretary
recommends an inspection of dairy
products designed tor export.
National legislation on the subject
of food authorizations is urged as es-
sential to supplement the work done
by the several states. Very little
horse meat seems to be sold in the
United States.
Under the head of foreign markets
the report says the rapid growth of
American export trade to the Orient
In recent years is most striking. Five
years ago the total shipments of do
nestle merchandise to Asia and Oce-
AMIGA were valued at s43,OO0,O00, Of
which only 100000 were agricul-
tural. In 1900 the export trade with
the Orient amounted to 100000, 900,
of which $S0,0OO.00O worth was farm
produce.
During the last fiscal year Cuba,
Porto Rico. the Hawaiian Islands and
the Philippines furnished market
for $4,000, 900 worth of American do
nestle products. Five years ago These
islands took but slS,0O0,0O0 worth.

DAVIS BODY LIES IN STATE
Escorted from the Home to Minne-
sofa Capitol.
AN IMPOSING PROCESSION.
Crowds Filed by the CONN to Take Last
Look ut the Face of the Dead sena-
tor - All Classes of Citizens in the
Funeral Line.

81. Paul, Mimi, Dec. IA steady
stream OF people passed through the
governors room in the capitol. where
lies In state the body of the late Unit
ed States Senator CushLaan kellogg
Davis. At an early hour the military
and police escort marched to the fam
lily residence on harrington avenue. A
United States senator is entitled by
virtue of his Office to the escort of
najor-general commanding, which in
this state would mean, since the state
has no cavalry, regiment of infantr
and a battalion of artillery. Such an
escort could not be readily summoned
and did not meet with the approval OF
the senator's family, who desired that
the services be in every way as simple
as possible.
The military escort, therefore, con-
sisted Of Company ID of the First regi-
ment, Minnesota national guard, I'M
der Capt. M. l.. Merrill, most of whom
were veterans of the Philippine cam
paign as members OF the famous Thir-
teenth Minnesota volunteers, and de-
tachment of battery A, Minnesota ma
tional guard, under Lieut.. Allen, who
acted as body-bearers. Leaving the
house at $3.50 o'clock the funeral pro-
cession, headed by mounted and foot
attachments Of police, marched slowly
to the capitol, which was reached by 10
o'clock.
The coffin was carried between lines
of mourning citizens into the building,
where 1t was placed on a catafalque
in the governors south chamber. Tho
main corridor of the building was
draped simply in Grape.
In the center of the chamber lay the
body, underneath a chandelier hung
with Grape and smilax Broad bands
Of Grape stretched from the corners
and walls of the room to the central
chandelier, and similar drapings were
hung over each Of the broad doors.
The tall windows were half-filled VITA
smilax and ferns, while ported plants
occupied the corners of the room.
The catafalque wasxdraped with the
national colors and the coffin was sur
rounded with floral tributes. At its
head, on an easel, rested a portrait of
the dead statesman; at its foot, the
sword he carried through the civil
war.
The escort formed in double at once
and the waiting crowd passed slowly
by the open coffin to take a last look
at the man who had honored his state
while serving 1t. All classes Of society
were in line and there was no diminu-
ton in the size of the crowds as they
advanced. The military guard was
frequently relieved in the governors
room, as also was the police guard at
the outer doors.
