SLAMS CROWN PRINCE COMES
VIII he Here In October with a ret
inue of Natives of Terrible
Names.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The siamese
minister, Mr.. Phys Akharaj Hsradhars, &C.
companied by Mr.. Edward II. Lotus, the

Assistant Secretary OF State Pierce today
respecting the forthcoming visit to the
United states Of Crowfa Maha vajariavudh,
the crown prince Of Siam. The visit will
be semi-of1cial in character. The crow
prince does not wish to be burdened with
a full official reception which would divert
him from the more serious purposes OF
his trip, but he does wish to have suf-
hcient official recognition to insure COM
fort in his and opportunities
to meet persons who may assist him in his
mission, which is to study our industrial
establishments. The royal visitor will
spend about six weeks in this pursuit, in
that time traversing the country from
New York to San Francisco, at which
point he takes ship for home.
The president has designated Secretary
Pierce to represent the government in look
ing after the comfort Of the crown prince,
whose expenses will be betrayed by himself,
except in small matters. David B. Sickles,
vice president and treasurer Of the Ameri-
can Surety company of New York, and who,
during President Hayes administration was
minister to Siam, will assist Mr.. Pierce.
The princes suite consists OF Colonel Rava-
jalloboh, first aide-de-camp; Camp Luang
Sarasidhi, second aide-de-camp; Mon. r,
Anuavatra, private secretary; his royal
highness, Prince Chakrobinse, brother OF
the crown prince, and an aide oficer and
attendants not yet designated.
He will sail for New York October 10
and will be presented to President Roose-
welt at the first opportunity. Both of the
Siamese princes speak English perfectly
and are, IN large part, European bred.

EDUCATION FOR OFFICERS
New hem for the Army Proposed
by Secretary Root Before
Starting West.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Before leav-
ing for the west Secretary Root issued
an order establishing the general scheme
OF education and training of officers Of
the army. The order establishes chools
at every post Of the army for officers, in
Guiding all lieutensnts and captains Of less
than ten years service as commissioned off,
GERS. These schools take the place of the
former method OF training in the officers
schools and lyceums. 1t is not intended
that officers shall be forever attending reci-
tations. Under the old system of lyceum
instruction there was no such thing as
graduation, but under the new scheme pre-
pared under the direct supervision of the
secretary of war, officers will be able gem
orally within two years to secure %certifi-
Gates in all the courses which they are
required to pursue. The purpose is to give
officers a thorough technical knowledge Of
drill regulations. guard duty, target prac-
tice, service with troops in camp, mill
tary law, field engineering and other
branches of knowledge indispensable to mil
itary men. REGULATIONS are prescribed for
the junior officers and this practical course
will occupy two periods Of ninety days each
between November l and April 80. Every
lieutenant will be required to establish his
fitness not only in the theories of his ordi-
nary duties, but also must learn practically
the duties of adjutant, quRrtermaster, COM
missary and those OF other stan bureaus.
1t is intended that9the officers who estab-
lish the greatest professional aptitude
under the provisions Of this order shall be
selected for further instruction at the gen.
eral service and stan college and the war
college at Washington.
