New Army Regulations.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Secretary Root
to-day approved the report of a revision
and codification of the army regulations
prepared by commission consisting of AS
sistant Secretary of War Sanger, Lieuten-
ant Colonel Davis. of the judge advocate
generals department, aud Lieutenant
Colonel Johnson, of the adjutant generals
department This revision and codifcation
was necessary on account of the many
changes that have been made in the army
regulations by law and general orders since
the last book of regulations was printed,
also by the changes of the conditions in
the United States. One Of the regulations,
drawn in times when troops were stationed
upon the frontier of the United States, al
lowed the commanding officer of a post or
camp 10 issue and ammunition TO
settlers for the purpose of self-preservation
against the Indians. This was not made
specific and the frontier of the United
States has practically disappeared the or

ance of arms TO people of the Philippines.
Porto Rico. Cuba or Alaska. 1t was thought
necessary TO rescind this regulation. The
change from a regimental TO company or
ganizatiOn of the artillery also has necessi-
tated many changes. Some minor changes
also were made regarding payment of
troops and also regarding the transport
service, as transports were not a part of

sations were drawn uD.

speechless on Major Evans's bed A a

Evans declared that he should not do 30.

ABOUT COLLARS.

them Of being absolutely comfortab bic. The
Roman collar bore an inscription giving the

Between the iron age and the linen age OF
collars there were several stages. One adj
vantage of the purple and woad period OF
cur ancestors was that the collars then
were easy-fitting. a man whose neck WAS
sixteen inches i'm girth invariably wore a
sixteen-inch collar. Time passed on, and
the nobility and gentry sighed to cover

SEEKING MORE LIGHT
CATHOLICS NOT YET READY TO
AMALGAMATE THEIR SOCIETIES.
Report of the subcommittee on Fed
cration-Organizatio Asked
TO submit Their Views.

PHILADELPHIA, April 13-The sub
committee appointed at meeting of
Catholic socities in New York on Thanks
giving day last for the purpose of drafting
q constitution met in Trenton at the resi-
dence of Bishop McFaul on Wednesday
and have prepared a report TO be sent out.
The report, which is dated Long Branch,
and signed by Thomas +. McKenna, of
Long Branch, chairman of the subcommit-
tee. and Rev. Nj. A. Cunnion, of New York,
and Rev. +. II. Wall. of New York is as
follows:
THE meeting of the subcommittee on
plan and scope of constitution for the
federation of Catholic societies, held
at the residence of Bishop McFaul, in
Trenton, and after full discussion of the
subject it was the sense Of the committee
that the formation of a constitution for
the proposed federation would be mad
visable without a further discussion on the
subject Hence the committee invites from
the various Catholic societies correspond
ence embodying their views on federation,
the best manner of obtaining it, and the
objects to which an organization should be
devoted The committee begs leave to re-
spectfully suggest that to avoid all fric-
ton among the different societies. seeing
that they have different aims and interests
and are composed of divers nationalities
az well as to prevent the movement from
encroaching upon the domain OF politics,
the federation might be safely accom-
plished on lines similar to international
truth societies. Thus a society might be
established in every archdiocese and the
diocesan branches added might be feasi-
HE, all tending to a national organization
for:
'First-Ihe promotion of social, civil and
religious interests.
'Second-The assistance and encourage
ment OF the Catholic press, the creation OF
the demand for Catholic literature and the
means of disseminating IT.
Third-The refutation of all misrepre-
sentations, calumnies, etc, against the
Catholic Church.
THE archdiocesan and diocesan societies
organized from the various societies within
their territory would form a national So
ciety.
when the societies have offered their
views upon the matter above suggested
the committee feels that it would be in a
position TO formulate constitution worthy
OF presentation to the Catholic hierarchy
of the United States, and to ask their crit
icism and appreciation. The committee re-
spectfully advises that the proposed meet =
ing at Cincinnati be postponed until Sucn
time the information required has been
received and acted upon"
IL is understood that the plan of the or
ganization of the national board would be
by representation from the archdiocesan
and diocesan organizations, which in turn
would include in their membership the
various Catholic societies within their re-
spective territory.
