THE ARTILLERY ARM.
Secretary Of War Win Increase It to It's Full
Strength.

Washington, May l3.- Secretary
Root is a man to whom wide discre-
tion in the matter Of interpreting and
administering the laws might have
been given. This is shown in his de-
termination to increase the artillery
corps at once to its full strength.
Congress, in its abject fear of criti-
cism, placed provision in the bill
which looked as if the artillery corps
OF the army was to be increased only
20 per cent each for five years But
the men who drafted the bill knew
what they were doing, and when it
came out as Law it provided that
not less than 20 per cent should be
raised the first year, and not less than
20 per cent each succeeding Y months
until the full strength of the artillery
was reached. Secretary Root inter
prets the mot less" to mean that he
Is not prevented from making the en-
tire increase at once, and so he di-
rected that it should be done.
This is a very good thing. No
branch OF the military service needs
men so much as the artillery. The
Notifications and the equipment of
the fortifcations with valuable guns
has been far in advance of the in
crease of the artillery In the Spanish
war congress was induced to increase
the artillery from five to seven regi-
ments, and the last congress was in
duced to make the increase to lS, 900
men, but with an intimation on the
wording of the bill that the increase
was to be made only gradually at 20
per cent a year for five years. Every
coast state every state where fortiti-
cations are needed and where they
have been erected will applaud the
action OF Secretary Root, as it means
more heavy artillery, and fortifca-
tions already in place and fortiiica-
tions to be erected will have artillery
placed upon them, and received the
care of trained and efficient men, a
care that very valuable defenses have
not received during the past three
years.
Another thing where Secretary
Root showed his Judgment was in
constituting the stupid provision Of
the Spooner amendment to the army
bill, relating to the Philippines.
There were two amendments, one pre-
pared by Senator Spooner, giving the
president authority to control the
Philippines, and Senator Hoar Sc
cured the adoption Of another regard
ing franchises, which would prevent
anything from being done to improve
the condition Of the islands. Soon
after the Philippine amendment was
cablcd to the Taft commission, a
reply was received showing that
if it was adhered to strictly it
would mean great hardship to the
people of the Philippine islands.
After mature deliberation the sec
retary decided to allow the regu.
lations for the cutting of timber
which the Philippine commission
had enacted to remain in force and
not to be interfered with by the HoaI
amendment to the army bill 1t
would have been we'll, perhaps, to
give the secretary some authority ir
modifying affairs in Cuba, for he has
a way Of making such notifications
of the best interests OF the government
and the people who aregoverned.

PHILIPPINE POLICE FORCE.
Already Organized. Including Over Six Thou.
sand Natives.

Washington, May 14-An extern
siye resume of the organization and
varied conditions of. the Philippine
native police force is contained in a
statement made public by the divis-
ion of insular affairs of the war de-
partment. The reports recites that,
because OF the poverty of the munich
palties, the Philippine commission
appropriated the sum of $4,000
to provide increased pay for the body,
and offered through General Mac
Arthur, further incentive in the
way OF increased compensation for
cases of meritorious and faithful serv-
ice. Late reports received at the war
department indicate that an efficient
and loyal force of native police has
now been organized, with prospects OF
further extension and increased .sbili-
ty. The total force now numbers 6, :
349 officers and men, great many OF
whom are on the meritorious list and
receive additional pay, The. body at
present is concentrated in Northern
Luzon principally, although the
Visayas, Mindanao, Jolo and South
ern Luzon have police forces Of con
siderable strength. In many of the
towns the men are fully uniformed,

poured in on the two men. The only
exit was up a ladder. Both men
jumped for the ladder Phelps reached
it first, took one step and stopped.
He jumped aside and shouted, you
go up first jim, you are married. "
Staplebury sprang up the ladder
and escaped with slight burns.
Though Phelps followed at his heels,
his act of heriosm cost him his life.
Both men were being cooked when
Phelps jumped aside. BY the time
he had followed Staplebury up the
ladder the flesh was dropping from his
limbs. He lived for two hours in
great agony. Both men are colered.

GOT AWAY FROM MoTERMAN.
Three Passengers on Trolley Car Seriously
tiurt-About 100 Bruised.

New York, May 15.-An open troll
ley car, in which were packed about
lis people, got away from the motor
man near Fort Lee, N. j., and dashed
down Leona hill, Every person on
the car was bruised and three serious
ly hurt, but only one of them, the
conductor, is likely to die. The
heavily loaded car had started down
an incline a quarter of mile in
length when the motorman lost con-
troll. The car was going so fast that
no one dared to jump off. The road
is a winding one At the foot OF the
hill it curves sharply. When the
front trucks hit the curve they started
around and made it. The rear ones
followed part of the way. The wrench
upon the car, however, as it swung
about, was so great that the body was
torn and lifted from the trucks and
rolled over and hit the ground. The
passengers were caught in and under
the car and were piled in heap.

up by the cloth to the grains. KeeE
this pan in a warm place where the
temperature is rather even and you
can watch the seeds as they develop
from day to day. After about the
fourth or fifth day you will be able tc
tell which seeds will grow and which
ones are dead. This test properly
done will give results slightly bette,
than the dirt test that is, few more
seeds will grow under these condi-
tions than would grow in the dirt in
ordinary growing weather.
A healthy wheat or oat plant is
easily recognized after you have
made a few tests with good standard
grains. (
There will be from three to foul

grow, the first young loots are found
to be distorted Or injured at the eud
and the young stem will be brown at

Injured Flax.-FIax seed is as cas-
lily tested as wheat. Like wheat, all
the light, weak stuff should he throwp
out of it by means of the grader or
tanning mill before the termination
tests are made. 1t may be said here,
that practically all the black, yscaly
seeds which are to be founa@in in the
flax of the last years crop are either
dead or SO much injured that they
will roduceSplants%hich will be too
weak to keep upsWith the good strong
plants from tae rest of the sample,
These weak plants will thus act like
weeds ddfing the growing season and
mostgof them will be immature when
thgmain portion of the crop is al
J8ady ripe. "a flax crop which ripens

Southern Pacific to Build to Naoo.

The Arizona correspondent to the Los Angeles Times says: The state ment that the Southern Pacific would build south from Cochise station to the Mexican line at Naco has been veri. fled. The road, fifty-six miles in length
 will be across easy ground, on the western slope of the great Sulpher Springs Valley, for the greater part of the distance. The statement is made by railroad officials that the country tapped will be good for POO carloads of freight per day before the end of the year. This seems hardly possible, yet it can be readily demonstrated, accord ing to the railroad men. They count on the traffic of the gold mines at Pearce and Gleason and in the turquois district, the copper district in the Dragoon Mountains, the great copper producing camps of Bisbee, Cananea and Nacosari, the hauling of supplies for 30,0OO people in southeastern Ari- zona and Northern Sonora, the hauling every year of hundreds of carloads of Sonora cattle, and, eventually, the traffic that will come through an ex- tension of the Cananea road to the Barrancas coal fields, about two hun dred miles south of the border. Such line would give the Southern Pacific corner on northwestern Mexico. The company already owns the Sonora Rail- way between Guaymas from Nogales.

 Arizona has over 24,OOO,0O0 acres of unsurveyed land.
 There are only three states and one territory having each greater area than Arizona. They are California, Montana, Texas and New Mexico.
 Arizona's production of copper, gold and silver in 1900 amounted to $40,- OOO, 600; nearly S400 for every man, woman and child in the Territory.
 From the year 1860 down to 1900 the lowest price of copper in the United States was cents a pound; that was in June, 1894. The highest price was in July, 1865, when it was worth 55 cents a pound.
