WASHINGTON, Jan 17.-Reports from
the Philippines indicate great deal of sick
ness prevailing among both naval and army
officers on duty in the archipelago. Long
terms Of duty In these islands likely

according TO the views of army and naval
medical officers. and a limitation of duty
tours in the Philippines to a period of two
years is strongly advocated. This practice
followed by the Spanish authorities
when they were in control and is looked
growing reports Of illness among our Of

BRITISH ARMY REFORMS.
Large Tracts of Land May BE Secured
for Maneuvers.


LONDON, Jan. 19.-British army reform,
the Associated Press learns, will consist
chiefly in an endeavor to improve the ex-
listing methods of general military train
ing rather than in any attempt to eradi-
cate any individual defects. With a more
fully developed home army the administra-
ton believes many of the drawbacks ex-
listing at present will gradually disappear,
whereas ruthless reform would only re-
suit in disorganization and chaos With
this end in view new maneuvers bill will
be introduced giving the government
plenary power to select large tracts of
country, especially in Ireland and Scot
land where the home army will have the
opportunity of maneuvering in considerable
numbers over rough and unknown coun-
try where the generals will have the OPP
portunity of learning to handle divisions.
In the opinion of the secretary for war;
Mr.. William ST John Broderick, it is futile
to criticise officers and men who have
never been handled or who have never CO.
operated except in the restricted confines
of Aldershot. and some not even there,
where every inch of ground is known to
almost every officer in the service. The
barracks building on Salisbury plain will,
1T is believed, aid this plan, but it has be-
come generally recognized by the War
Office that it is absolutely essential to have
rough country and a good deal of it at
the disposal of the forces. Many difficult
ties lie in the way of securing this. The
moors of Ireland and Scotland are almost
all the private property of aristocratic
land owners who either use them or let
them for shooting purposes. One season s
maneuvers over these estates would prob
ably ruin the game. Hence large compen-
sation must be paid This Mr.. Broderick
hopes to get appropriated in spite of the
a ha1i inor
he an investment which would save the
country millions In case of another war.
Many other changes arc likely to come in
corce in due course of time. The board
Of army reorganization is sitting day N
and day out dealing with the immense
problem, but the cardinal point of the de-
alterations on which public opinion is
unanimous is the necessity for the new
maneuvers bill. To use the words of Lord
Raglan: "You might as well criticise the
admiral who is always obliged to keep
his fleet in harbors as 20 criticise the army
for which the country provides no
maneuyering facilities.

TWO NOTABLE PERSONS.
The Late Bishop of London and the
Prince of ShylOcks.

The Late Bishop of London and the
Prince of Shylocks.
LONDON. Jan. 19.-Death removed two
remarkable personalities from the metropo-
lis this week-the bishop of London, Right
Rev. Mandell Creighton, and the money
lender, Sam Lewis. known far and wide
for very differing qualities. Both possessed
two things in common-humor and a broad
insight into the affairs Of men and the
world. DR.. Creighton had many attain
ments and was accounted one Of the most
erudite theological historians of the day
Yet none could roll cigarette more deity
or retort more quickly in an up-to-date
slang. He wore his learning as lightly as
flower. but his addresses to the clergy were
hardly ever equaled In ruling his episco-
pate during the troublous times of the
keen, ritualistic controversy he avoided
stern legal measures, yet generally secured
obedience to his will. He was an athlete
in his youth and rowed in an Oxford eighr.
but he was more famous for his velveteen
coat than for any achievements. Children
adored him and London showed how great
ly such an ideal bishop was appreciated
by according him burial in st. Paurs Ca
thedral-
Sam Lewis's humor took a fanciful
turn. Whenever he saw an opportunity to
make life miserable for sprigs of the aris-
tocracy he never missed it, Once he was
able TO taunt his victim, he did not seem
to care whether he got his money back or
not. Yet a beggar never asked him for
aims in the street without a substantial
reply. He frequently said he had so much
money that he scarcely knew what TO do
with it. The true character of the man is
best judged by his enormous requests to
charity. which have not been equaled in
the recent history of England. 1t seems
he devoted his life to robbing the nobility
in order TO enrich the poor. Lewis lived In
a gorgeous house in Grosvenor square,
where his wife entertained lavishly His
tight trousers. sporty clothes and immense
diamonds gave him the appearance of
flash" racing man.

ca and there wealth faunts itself with vul-
gar ostentation, to find a parallel for which
We must go back TO the worst period of

of Cambridge and other notables focked
to his hotel, humbly waiting in the cor
ridor until Prof. Pagenstrecher was ready
to see them. In a few moments the Duke
of Cambridge was benefited so greatly that
he went TO his old cronies and insisted on
their visiting the eye-healer. Following his
advice they crowded to Prof. Pagenstrecher
on Friday. AT last the specialist flew out or
the hotel, declaring he would not see an
other soul that day, be he king or COM
moner. The professor goes to the continent
to inspect the eyes of the King of the Bel
gians on Sunday, and before he returns TO
Wiesbaden he will probably continue Els
journey to several other royal palaces.
