THE KENTUCKY MUDDLE.
Why the President Cannot Make Ex-
Governor BrndIey Judge

Republican politics in Kentucky threat
ems to assume national interest and i'm
portance through the share Senator Han
ma is taking in the fight there. The Sem
ator is now understood to have intimated
that W. s. Taylor would be safer in Ohio
than in Indiana as a fugitive. Governor
Durbin. it is feared, Is so anxious about
his own Senatorial prospects that he is
liable to weaken in mis- purpose not TO
surrender Taylor. In Ohio, however, Gov
ernor Nash is so strong a friend Of Mr.
Hanna as TO be proof against every form
of temptation.
The action of Ex-Governor Bradley in
giving testimony in the GOebel murder
trial which was interpreted as adverse to
Taylor has embarTa ssed the President
who had Bradley in mind for appointment
as United States district judge. Popular
feeling has been so excited against Brad
ley as to make his appointment out of the
question, for the present at least. Ihe al
tentative seems to be the choice Of eX-
Representative Pugh, an original Mckfn-
ley man. and Mr.. Cochran. The objection
raised to Pugh at home is that so many OF
his relatives By blood and marriage are
already holding Office. When this came
out his father-in-law. Mr.. Thomas, who
is solicitor OF internal revenue here. at
once offered to resign, on condition that
Fugh should be appointed judge. But no
sooner did the politicians hanging about
Washington get wind of this proffer than
a protege of Senator Fairbanks stepped
forward with a claim upon the solicitor
ship.
A further complication arises from the
fact that, by an arrangement entered into
some time ago, Perry Heath was made
general custodian and distributor of Ken
tucky patronage. Heath has gone abroad,
and is. therefore. out Of reach of appeals
from persons and factions interested. Al
together it is very pretty muddle, which
carries it's own lessons concerning the
spOils system of selecting officers for the

RBORGANIZING The ARMY
Forces in the Philippines Not to Be

Filipino Regiments to Be Enlisted
Gradually - The Increase in the
Artillery Corps to He Made I'm
mediateIy Status of the Officers.

The officials of the War Department
yesterday set at rest number of reports
misrepresentng the intentions of the
President and Secretary of War with ref
erence to the organization and distribu-
tion OF the military forces of the United
States 1t is absolutely denied that there
is any intention at this time of making
a reduction in the force under General
Macarthur nor is that subject under con-
sideration. The report to the effect that
the War Department had decided not to
organize the native Filipino regiments is
also contradicted.
The Secretary of War is pursuing a
well n-defned policy with reference TO the
organization of these native regiments.
it is recognized by officers Of the army
that too much haste should not be made.
Already about 1000 Fiiipinos have been
organized as scouts, and as soon as con-
ditions permit they Will be formed into
regular regiments. The process of test
ing the loyalty OF these troops is neces-
sarily slow and it is not expected that
the full force of 1000 men authorized by
| Congress will be fully organized for some
! time.
1t is officially stated that the depart
! ment proposes to gradually develop the
! native organizations to such point thaI
| they will be able to take the place Oh
| American troops in the colonial posses
| sions of the United States, not only IN
| the Philippine Archipelago, but In Porto
| Rico as well. 1t has also been determined
! to continue the work Of recruiting the
| Regular Army up to the full strength au-
! thorized by Congress. but not until Ten
eraI Chaffee has prepared a plan for the
military occupancy of the Philippines Will
! any decision be reached as TO the Huiilpe'
| of troops to be retained there. 49,,
| Secretary Root has decided that thtre
| is nothing in the law relating TO tile IN
| crease of the artillery which would pro
! hibit the immediate instead OF Srau45i

/ has therefore issued orders that the Ar
