HEARD AT THE HOTELS.


1t is understood that at meeting of the
National Flint-Glass Manufacturers Asso-
citation to be held to-day in the Grand
Hotel, some important action will be taken
to protect the glass men against what Is
said to be oppression on the part of the
railroads. According to present rates it is
said to be practically impossible to ship
glassware in less than CARROTS, the freight
charges on fractional shipments being too
high to induce much business of this kind.
The glass men at a previous meeting ex-
pressed the opinion that as most of their
business was done In shipments of less
than CARROTS, the action of the railroads
tended TO make their business almost i'm
possible. 1t is not known what action Is
likely to be taken to-day as only two MEM
bers-C. II. Beach, of Salisbury, Pa, and
f. X. Sheldon, of Gas City-arrived last
night and both refused to make any state
ment concerning either conditions or reme-
dies. You must not ask questions" was
the only answer Mr.. Beach gave to a query
to what the association intended doing
to protect itself. When asked If 1t was
intended to raise the price of goods, he
simply said: II do not know"

NATIONAL GUARD ASSOCIATION.
Gen. Bends Paper Is Discussed
Welcomed to City and State.

The first session of the National Guard
Association was called to order at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning by Maj Gen. ]. n.
Reece, adtutant general of Illinois. and
fully two hundred delegates were in at
tendance. Governor Mount was introduced
and welcomed the visitors in brief ad-
dress. which was, in part. as follows:
"I take great pleasure I'm extending to
you a cordial welcome to the State of In
diana. Your discussions will be read with
interest, and your conclusions will be OF
Importance. There exists a necessity for
National Guard, as demonstrated
in the Spanish-American war, the useful
ness of which will be measured by its
efficiency.
1.-The maintenance of large regular
army will not meet with public favor.
The best method of maintaining order
and enforcing the laws in the State IN
times of emergency, and OF meeting the
demands of the federal government with
promptness in time of war, are grave
questions. A regular army will always
be needed and an augmented navy is
demanded. but with these questions this
convention has little to do.
How to organize a better national re-
serve or National Guard, is the impor-
tant question for your consideration. Sol
ders should be instructed on how TO pre-
pare, and also to rely on the rations the
government supplies, instead of pastry,
dainties and delicacies suited to the eff
Terminate dude, but not for a soldier,
who is expected TO endure the hardships
OF the march, the camp and the battle.
The same wholesome, common-sense regu-
lations that are sustained by the experience
OF our best soldiers demand such resGric-
tions as will keep the dissipating, democrat
izing influences OF intoxicating LIQUORS from
the camp. The maxim that The best men
make the best citizens, soldiers and bust
ness men should not be forgotten. The
common-sense rule is now applied TO bust
ness methods; let it dominate military Gil
cles."
Governor Mount was followed by John
w. Kern. city attorney, who extended
welcome to the visitors on the part of
Mayor Taggart TO the city. He told them
they were at perfect liberty to do as they
pleased, saying that they could even defy
the vaccination laws if they desired.
A response to the addresses OF Governor
Mount and Mr.. Kern was made by Brig
adler General Clark. OF Illinois. =
The president of the association. Gen. J.
NJ Reece, then made his annual address.
In which he commented at some length on
the duty of the government to supply the
National Guard with proper equipment and
modern arms. not only for the sake Of the

VAST BRITISH ARMY FOR SOUTH AFRICA.
PUBLIC WONDER AT MR.. WYNDHAMs
FIGURES GIVEN IN PARLIAMENT.

London. Feb. 2.-Mr. Wyndham's remarkable
declaration in the House OF Commons that
Great Britain will have In a fortnight 10000
regulars il South Africa, 1000 Canadians and
Australians and $4,000 South African volun-
teers is received with wonderment Of this
total of 213.OOO troops, with 452 guns, all are
now there, with the exception of about $4,000
that af1oat. Beyond comparison, this is
the largest force Great Britain has ever put
into the field. At the end of the Crimean War
she had scraped together 10000 men. Wei
lington at Waterloo had 25OOO
Mr. wyndham's speech was the strongest de-
fence the Government has yet put forward as
70 what has been done and is being done.
The general tone OF the morning papers is that
his figures will astonish the country. Roughly
speaking, only $4,000 men are at the front
Ten thousand others have been lost and 10000
are shut UP at Ladysmith.
Excluding these, there are 10000 troops who
have not yet been in action, in addition to
those at sea. Why many effectives have
not yet been engaged Is explained by the lack
of land transport and the organization Of SUD-
plies. TO which Lord Roberts is devoting his
experience and Lord Kitchener his genius for
details.
It seems as though the weight of these masses
must destroy the equilibrium which holds
the British forces stationary wherever they are
in contact with the Boer army.
Lack of transport and organization will not
explain adequately why, when generals at the
front request reinforcements. they get them in
rather small numbers. knowledge is slowly
penetrating to London that large garrisons must
be kept in Cape Colony to hold down the Cape
Dutch. who, as every knows. outnumber
the British residents three to two.
