ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Senator Hale Says There is No
Rush to Enlst-Large Increase
Not Needed.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1S.--The
army reorganization bill is being consid-
cred by the Senate. Mr.. Hale (Maine)
said he would prefer that temporary
increase in the army be provided rather
than a permanent one. He would, he
said, vote for this bill because he could
not get anything better. He thought
that the argument that the army should
should be increased according to the in
crease of population was fallacious.
Mr. Hale said that aside from the
emergency in the Philippines 10000 men
were sufficient for our needs, 1900 for
coast defense, 5000 in Alaska and the
balance on the frontier would be ample.
He did not know where the men would
come from. With all the war feeling
men did not seem to enlist.
Mr.. Hale declared it was not. true the
army should be increased to keep pace
with the navy. The fighting of this coun-
try would be on the sea and not upon
land. He would vote for this bill, how
ever, because he feared its defeat might
result in disastrous consequences to our
arms in the Philippines.

A STEAMER IS BURNED.

WATCHMAN LOSES LIFE

by Smoke.

Benton Harbor, Mich. Jan. 1S.-The
Graham & Morton steamer City of Louis
vile burned to the waters edge early to-
day at the dock where she was laid up for
the winter. Charles Southworth of Sau-
gatuck, Waterman, was burned to crisp.
When the fire was discovered by per-
sons on the dock the pumps in the vessel
were working, showing that Waterman
Southworth had been fighting the fire
when he met his death. 1t is supposed
mat SouthwOrth was first overcome by
smoke and then burned to death.

pany the Reid was hauled out at ST.
Joseph, heightened 4S feet and under
went change of name to City of Louis
vile. Later still her beam on deck was
increased 5 feet by bustling. This work
was done at the west yard of the Mil
waukee Drydock company In the gov
eminent blue book her length is given as
III feet, natural beam 2515 feet, depth
~ feet, measurement 452 gross tons.
The burned steamer cost the Graham
Morton company in various ways
fully 100000, but she was never worth
more than one-half of that sum- and just
prior to her destruction would not have
brought over $4,000 at private sale.
Vesselmen always regarded the burned
steamer as more or less of Il hoodoo.
