RETURN OF THE REGULARS. !.
Gen. Macarthur Directed to Send
HOmc Certain ReEiments.


BY direction of the Secretary Of War In
structions were today cabled to General
Macarthur to send to San Francisco at his
earliest convenience the following named
organizations of the regular army: 18th,
18th and 23d Regiments of Infantry 4th
Regiment of Cavalry, 10Th, Both, 32d and
33d Companies of Coast Artillery 1st, Sth,
10th, 18th and 18th Batteries of Field Ar
tillery.
General Macarthur is instructed to
transfer to other commands all men in the
above organizations in their first enlist
ment, having more than one year to serve
also men wishing to remain in the Philip
pines. All men of other organizations hav-
ing three months or less to serve not in
tending to reenlist, are to be transferred
to the returning organizations.
1t Is expected that the movement OF
these troops will begin soon after the 1st
of July next, by which time the homeward
movement of the volunteer troops will have
been completed. 1t is the intention of the
department to replace the lome-coming
regulars far the military conditions
In the Philippines require it, with troops
recently organized in this country under
the provisions of the army reorganization
act. These movements are predicted on
the policy of the administration to reduce
the army in the Philippines to 10000 after
the return of the volunteers.

THE CHAMPION. ,sBANkRyPT.
HOO1ey CanHOt Pay 10 Per Cent, but
He sBesnfs $7b.sOO Yearly.

from the London MaE. ' %
1t is nov nearly thr.ee Years since the
failure of Mr.. E 7. Hooley. whose estate
has yielded so far only two shillings in
the pound to HIS creditors.
In view of the magnifcence with which
this splendid bankrupt continues mean
while to enjoy life inquiries have been
made by'a Daily Mail representative as to
the future pfespects the estate offers.
His inquiries, took our representative to
the Office of Mr. tHeor'ge Hardy, q member
of the Bankruptcy committee appoint ed by
the creditors to act under the supervision
of the board OF trade. Questioned as to the
outlook for creditors. Mr.. Hardy expressed
the belief that the estate would yield am
other two shillings in the pound in the
course of a few months, and was exceed
ingly pessimistic as to anything beyond
that. 81,
Mr. Hooley bears his creditors misfor-
tunes bravely, does he nOt?
I'm what way?"
He still lives at the rate of a few thou
sands year,?
More than few thousands.'' replied
Mr.. Hardy. HE has, besides his suite of
rooms at Walsingham House, ,his.two coun-
try seats, PapWOrth Hall and RiSley Hall.
Why, he pays in wages to. his servants,
male and; female and his gardeners,
grComs and the rest more than 10000 year
ly. His weekly wages bill. apart from
those he pays monthly or quarterly, is be
tween f120 and f130. He keeps many horses
and every sort of vehicle-from a dogcart
to a shooting coach: he has about a score
of gardeners at Papworth alone; he is con-
stantly adding to his estate there by buy
ing up adjoining farms, and recently he
bought f2b00 worth of additional agricul-
tural machinery for his operations there.
His wine cellars contain one of the most
extraordinary collections ever got together
and you may say my estimate, as a
member of the committee, that this prince
ly bankrupt is not living at the rate of
less than f15.e00 yearly"
But haven't you and your fellow COM
mitteemen any means of diverting some of
this income toward the creditorso''
"None at all. MIR. Hooley obtains his in
come by the financial operations he con-
ducts from Walsingham House, where he
sees clients daily. But he doesn't deal on
his own behalf. He is the agent of his
wife. l have long contended that we. the
committee. should be able to control the
bankrupt's earnings. We ought to be able
to secure for the creditors the remainder
of that income after allowing the bank
rupt a good maintenance-say 5000 a
year.
and do not your powers enable you to
do anything in that direction?'
mo, but. l have heard from a very re-
liable quarter that result of this
Hooley business. legsiat ton will be pro-
posed with the object of rendering such
crying scandals impossible In the future"

youth bethought himself of his overcoat,
and then the cashier began to think there
might be something in his story of the
pickpocket after all.

Paris Correspondent London Telegraph.
1t is a far cry to the days when fair

tune but without their bicycles. nNoW,t
however. there is a prospect OF fresh pat
ties ahead for the advocates of rational
DRESS who imagined that they had Won

years ago
Nothing. is to be feared from public
opinion, the most conservative OF Parl-
slams have got quite used to seeing their
wives in knickerbockerS on bicycles But
the authorities in some rural districts have
suddenly developed a strong anti-bioomer
feeling. Mayors Of villages and small
towns in certain parts of the country,
where long stretches of smooth and level
roads attract the cyclist in the season,
have abruptly sprung upon an astonlshed
world edicts vigorously forbiddlns per
sons of the feminine sex" appearing in
masculine disguise of any sort" within
the boundaries of the districts concerned
under any pretext whatsoever
Legal opinion has without delay been OBJ
tained and is to the effect that the pro-
hiDition applies to knickerbocker cycling
dress of all kinds. and that the edcts in
question are perfectly valid and will be
enforced Next spring we shall certainly
hear of French lady cyclists being incarcer-
ated in village lockups, and not released
