REGULAR ARMY
OF 77,2S7 MEN.
Order Putting Into Effect the ReOrSani-
zatiOn Act Of Congress Issued
by Secretary Root.
NO LACK OF RECRUITS.
Enlistments Have Been Going On For
Some Time-Present Strength of
Army is 10000, But The
Terms of Many Men
Soon Expire.

Washington, May l5.-General Order
No. sc, issued today by Secretary of Wan
Root, is Of the greatest immediate impor-
tance and of high historical interest. 1t is
the official utterance that puts into effect
the act of Congress recognizing the army
and making the military arm of the Gov
ernment $4,000 stronger than heretofore
authorized on peace footing.
Preparations for increasing the regular
army and disbanding the volunteer army
have been progressing steadily and quietly
1t is not anticipated that the army will be
recruited to its full strength Of 77,2S7 by
July l, but il is expected that the infantry
and cavalry branches Of the service will be
filed by that time. At present the
strength of the regular army is about
10, 900, but large number of enlistnents
will expire on or before July l, so that re-
cruts will have to be secured in large
numbers to meet this reduction.
The limited enlstments of two years
which we're authorized during the war
with Spain have long since expired, but
during 1898 there were large number OF
regular three years enlistments. These
are now expiring, but the recruiting
officers report an encouraging number Of
re.enlistments and new recruits, SO that it
is confidently expected when the volunteer
army has been mustered out the infantry
and cavalry arms of the service will be up
to their requirements and the requisite
number of these troops for the Philippines
will be oil hand. Enllstments in the ar
tillery corps are rather slow.
One reason is that better class Of re-
cruits is being sought after, especially for
service in the coast artillery where expen-
siye armament with complicated machin-
cry is to he handled and cared for.
The order provides for the increase of
The various branches of the military SER
vice to the following totals:
Cavalry, $3.50; artillery corps, 1882;
infantry, $500; engineer corps, 1882;
staff departments, etc, 2,7S3. Total
army, 77,2,7.

Letter to C. C. Long,
TdzeueU, Va.

Dear Sir: 1t takes 5000 gallons of paint
for the two big hotels at Coney Island
Manhattan and Oriental. They are paint
ed once in three years with Devoe lead
and zinc.
Why so often? Three reasons: Il sea
air cuts paint; (2) sand in the wind cuts
paint; (3) hotels, especially pleasure hotels
want freshness and color as much as pro-
tecIion. Once In three years is often
enough and not too often to paint hote
on windy sandy beach.
How long do you think lead and Oh
would last there? One year. Is there
anything for you in this ?
Yours truly,
% f. w. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. John E. Jackson sells our pain
in your section.

of Stricken City.

Jacksonville, Fla. May 14.-At meet
ing of the executive committee OF the
Jacksonville Relief Association this after
noon it was the concensus of oplonon
that the amount Of money so far contrlbu-
ted for the relief of the fire sufferers was
far from adequate to meet the demands
and President Garner of the relief associa-
ton, Bishop Weed of the Episcopal do
cese of Florida AMI Mayor Bowden were
appointed committee to issue an ad-
dress to the people of the United States.
The committee has issued the following
address
"To the people of the United States
1--WE, the undersigned, representing the
people of Jacksonville wish to express to
the people of the United States the heart.
felt gratitude of the people of this city for
the way III which they have responded to
our needs. The relief committee of jack
sonviIle sent out statement some days
ago in answer to the numerous inquiries
which the committee have received. 1t
as then too soon to estima the extent
of the damage, or to estimate the extent
of the needs of the people. 1t is now ten
days since the great fire, and we are be-
ginning to realize the greatness Of the
calamity which has beiallen US. We have
received many generous donations IN the
way of supplies Of fool and clothing, but
we find ourselves confronted with the need
of clearing away the debris and maintain
ing order an discipline, trying to prevent
sickness, and of caring for those who are
sick. 1t is impossible to render ten thous-
and or more people homeless without ex-
treme suffering; it is impossible to meet
all the cases of need at once. The sani-
tary condition of this city must be perfect
ed and maintained and unless we can
have the aid of the charitable people of
the United States we are compelled to
acknowledge our inability to cope fully
with the situation. Only those who have
been in tue city and can realize the nature
of the distress of many who have been
turned out of houses and homes, can APP
preciate the danger of sickness from the
hudded condition of the people, making
the situation here alarming. 1t will take
very large amount of money at the
smallest estimate to care for the actual
needs of the people and put the city in a
proper condition. Our duty compels us TO
cali upon the generous and always ready
people of this country for assistance in
this, our hour of need.

Dublin, May 13.-1he police of Cork,

all copies of William O'Brien's weekly

A NEW MRS. NATION.
Mrs. Cora Lucas Plays Havoc With A
Speakeasy at Glendale, W. Va.

Op6dNCdSy Qt We
Glendale, w. Va, May 13.-Since the
closing of the saloons in Moundsville, this
suburb has been the drinking place for the
great bulk of Moundsville thirsty popula-
ton, Joe Beck's speakeasy being the prin'
cipal resort. The officers have closed II
twice, arresting the proprietors, but each
time new stock and a new proprietor ap'
peared
Yesterday evening Mrs Cora Lucas
who, because of family injury, had a griev'
ance, went to the saloon with an axe,
smashed in the doors and windows and
demolished all the bottled goods. The
beer kegs wthstood the assaults of the
axe, and Mrs. Lucas rolled them through
the back window into the Ohio river. This
morning the place was reopened.
About noon Mrs. Lucas and her sister,
Mary, both powerful women, took their
axes and again demost ed the building.
1t was a frail structure, built on the river
bank, for the temporary saloon purposes,
and after an hours work not stick was
left standing. The boards and timbers
were cut to pieces and thrown over the
river bank into the water, whence they
fioated away.
The sympathy of the community is with
the women, and they have not been ar
rested.

II Has Been Decided that the Necessary
Sum Must be Raised Out Of the
Customs Revenue.
d. LOWERING THE DEMANDS.
United States Government and Great
Britain viii Continue to Ask
Smaller Cash Payment and
Greater Trade Privileges.

Washington, May l3.-Late information
from Peking is to the effect that the chi
nese court has decided that the indemnity
demarded by the Powers must be met out
of the customs revenue, and that the COL
lection of the money in any other way Will
not be permitted. Ii Hung Chang has
informed the court that the customs re-
ceipts will not be sufficient to make the
payments, and he is said to have asked
the court officials to make recommended
tions in regard to the matter. The cour-
is said to be unwilling to do so.
The revenues from the customs in 1879
amounted to $40, 100000, and last year it
was little over Sl7 100000. That reve-
nue. is already mortgaged to the foreign
creditors and it would not begin to meet
the demands of the Powers at this time.
The amount now demanded is said to be
1887, ,OOO,O 900. But it can be said that SO
far as the United States Government is
concerned, it will not consent to any such
demand, as 1t is regarded as excessive and
unreasonable.
The United States will not join in any
ultimatum of the Powers for an indemnity
exceeding S2OO,OOO,OO0. The United
States Government, as we'll as that of Great
Britain will continue to urge demand for
a smaller indemnity and greater trade
privileges. 1t is not true that our Govern
ment will refuse to consent to any increase
in the China tariff duties. The present
rate of duty is nominally 8 per cent. That
is in accordance with the treaties between
China and the foreign Powers concluded
forty-three years ago.
Most of these duties are specific and on
a 5 per cent. basis in silver and the actual
ad valorem rate does not average, from
year to year, over 80 per cent. Last year
the average ad valorem duty was 3.4S per
cent. China will require an additional an
nual income of from lO,O0O,00O to 20,OO0,-
600 Haikwan taels to meet the interest on
the indemnity which she will be called on
to pay.
If the addition should be 2O,0OOSCO
Haikwan taels, that would require Sl5.-
900, 600 more annually, whereas, per
cent. increase on the duties would not
produce anything like the necessary sum.
Some increase in the duties is altogether
probable, but it will be absolutely impos'
sible to raise the sum necessary to meet
the indemnities by such an increase and
larger increase is out of the question.
China can raise the money easily by
opening the country to foreigners and dis
posing of mining roy alties and other such
things. All the official reports from China
90 to show that if the Government is hon.
estly administered and the wholesale steal
ing stopped, the duties already levied and
taxes imposed would be sufficient to meet
all demands.

AGE OUTRANKED BY YOUTH.
Wide Divergence in Ages of Staff Officers
lust Appointed.

Washington, D. c., May l4.-There is
wide difference in the ages of the staff
officers recently appointed under the
Army Reorganization bill, which will re-
suit in early retirements Of several, while
others are so young that they may all con-
template the rank OF brigadier general and
chief of staff as not I'm robable some day.
1t would appear that in making the APP
pointments the older men would be given
seniority in numbers, but such is not the
case, and in several instances young fell
lows under 80 outrank officers who were
Civil War veterans.
The first of the staff corps to retire will
be Captain j. NJ. Patton, of the Quarter
masters Department, who was born IN
1888, and, therefore, will retire next year.
The youngest staff officer is Major John A.
Hull, son of the CHAIRMAN Of the House
Military Committee, who was born IN
1874, and who will not retire until 1888.
Major Hull holds higher rank than
any officer of his age in the military SER
vice. He was volunteer, and was ap'
rointed over the heads of men old enough
to have been his father. Right below
young Hull is Major George M. Dunn
who will retire in 1920.

Tom Johnson believes that the rail

taxation through the influence which
they exert upon lawmakers and coun-

fancy he is close up to the truth
that the free pass is one of the
agencies employed with great success
to shape legislation in the interest Of
the roads and shut the eyes of the
auditors. Therefore, It is asserted
that he exacted pledge from each
of his fourteen legislative candidates
that in case he was elected he would
not accept a pass from any railroad
campany and would pay his own fare.
OF course. there are men-or, at any
