WASHINGTON, March 27.-It is
learned today that the president stin
lacks one name of completing the st.
Louis exposition commission. The eight
men who have been selected are:
Ex-Senators Garter, Mcbride. Thurston
and Lindsay; Representatives Allen,
of Mississippi, and Glynn, of New York:
Prof Northrop, of Minnesota, and Il. ),
Scott. of Arkansas.
This arrangement JnakeS four Repub-
licans and four Democrats selected. The
ninth aDpointee will be Republican and
the contest for this place is said to lie
between F. A Belts, of Connecticut; c..
N. Miller, of Indiana, and another man
whose name cannot be learned.
NEED $4,000 MEN.
The present plans Of the war depart
ment contemplate the maintenance oil
an army of $4,000 men in the Philippines
until order has been completely estab-
lished under the proposed new civil gov
eminent and the garrisons can be safely
reduced to a peace footing. There are
now about &c. coo troops in the Philippines
and China and the original plan was to
maintain an army of $4,000 men in the
Philippines until a stable government had
been established replacing the Volun-
teers. numbering about Is GOO, with reg
ulars to an extent sufficient to keep up
all existing garrisons through the arch1-
pelago but it has been found to be I'M
practicable to do so under existing con-
ditions within the short time intervening
before the first of July next when the
entire volunteer army must be disband-
ed. The failure of the plan is due to the
lack of available officers in this country
to organize the neWAregiments author
lied by congress and not so much to the
difficulty of recruiting the regiments.
