THE AMERICAN ARMY.
Annual Report of Inspector General
Breckenridge.

Washington, Nov. 17.-The annual
report of Gen. ]. c. Breckenridge, in
spector general of the army, is vol
luminous document and covers every
phase of the military establishment
and each department bureau and COM
mand in the army. There is more than
fifty recommendations and suggestions
relating to improvements in the army,
most OF which pertains to technical
matters and minor conditions. Much
of the report necessarily has been COW
cred in the reports Of bureau chiefs
and commanding officers. General
Breckenridge finds much to commend
in all branches OF the service and re-
ports progress and Improvements
everywhere.
The most serious criticism is in re-
gard to absenteeism where officers are
on detached duty leaving the regi-
ments short of officers Thus, in the
Philippines especially, it is found that
many companies are without captains,
and the companies in command of new
and untried officers. He attributes this
to lack of officers in the army to fill
the details and detached assignments.
Gen. Breckenridge shows that in
struction in the army is progressing
satisfactorily. He recommends the
fertilization of Pearl Harbor, in the
Hawaiian islands, as a strategic
point. He says water transportation
in the army is rapidly assuming
stable and economical methods.
He has the following to say regard.
ing his inspection in the Philippines.
During my tour in the Philippines
it was evident on all sides that the
army. as a whole, was laboring patient
ly. and faithfully to solve the many
vexing problems continually presented
to it, The difficulties encountered and
the hardships endured never can be
fully appreciated by any one who has
not been on the ground and observed
the daily life of officers and men. miles
away from home, influences and assO-
Citations, living in communities either
openly or secretly hostile, depending
almost entirely for their subsistence
upon the commissary-where one is
almost afraid to take even an ordinary
drink of water without ascertaining
first whether it has been cooked"

FOREIGN POSTAGE.
Radical Reduction in the Rates to Be
Urged Upon Congress.

Washington, Nov. ia radical re
duction of the postage rates of mail
to the leading commercial nations Of
Europe will be urged on congress at
this session by Postmaster General
Payne. 1t is confidently expected that
in case the project is carried through
to successful execution our foreign
trade will be greatly stimulated. 1t is
believed that the nations who are to
be approached with view TO being
parties to the arrangement will readily
give their acquiescence.
The plan wlIl be proposed in Mr.
Payne's annual report. The present
rate is five cents per half ounce on
letters to foreign countries, save Can
ada and Mexico, between which and
this country the same postage rates
are applied as are imposed on mail
within this country. 1t is proposed to
put the governments of England Ger
many and France on the same footing.
In view of the greatly increased vol
ume of postal business and the number
of commercial transactions between
this country and Europe the foreign
rate is held to be entirely dispropor-
tionate to the domestic rate and serves
as a detriment to the business inter
ests of the country. Mr.. Payne be-
lieves a reduction in postal rates not
only would prove a great benefit to the
business interests Of the country. but
result in sufficiently large business to
make up in the end for the loss of rev
enue.
This has been the experience of the
United States in the reciprocal ar
rangements made with the two cOun-
tries on our northern and southern Dor
ders. The project will have to be
carried through by conventions with
the other countries mentioned. So
soon as the assent of congress is Sc
cured, Germany, England and France
will be approached and conventions
with other countries along the same
lines will be left for the future con-
sideration.

'SHOTATK INGLEOP
Attempt to AssaSsinate the Ruler
of Belgium.
The WouId-Be Assassin is An italian
Anarchist Named Gennerro Rubi-
no, Who Was Arrested.-The
King Was Not Injured.

Brussels, Nov 17.-AD anarchist,
named Rubino, made an attempt to as
sassinate Leopold, king of Belgium.
He is an Italian, and made the at
tempt while the king was proceeding
to the cathedral to attend a requiem
in memory of the late Queen Marie
Henrietta. No one was hurt
Rubino stood in front of the bank
of Brussels, on the Rue Royale. The
other chambers in the revolver proved
to be blank. The man was immedi-
ately arrested, and the police had some
difficulty in rescuing him from the
hands of the crowd.
That Rubino intended to assassinate
King Leopold seemed fully established
Saturday evening by the prisoners
confession to the police The latter at
first denied all the reports to the eff,
feet that the revolver contained ball
cartridges, or that Rubino was con-
nected with anarchism. But they final.
ly admitted that the prisoner had con-
fessed that he intended to shoot King
Leopold, and that he had anarchistic
beliefs.
According to some reports Rubino.
in the course of his examination be-
fore the magistrate, declared that he
selected King Leopold for his attack,
on account of his majestys inhuman
conduct towards his daughter, Prin-
cess Stephanie, at the time of her
mothers death, and he also wished to
show to the anarchists in London who
doubted his loyalty that while they
only talked, he acted. He would have
killed King Edward, he added, but for
the strong feeling of the English peo-
pie in favor of the monarch.
The ministry of the interior has es-
tablished the identity of the assailant
of King Leopold. His name is Gen
nero Rubino and he is described in
their records as an advanced social
list. He was condemned to a long term
of Imprisonment for stealing at Milan
in 1893, but he effected his escape to
England. where he is supposed to have
imbibed his anarchist principles.
It appears that RubinO has a broth
er who is also an anrchist. His father
fought with distinction in the Italian
war for independence.
Washington, Nov. IL. = Secretary
Hay called at the Belgian legation
Sunday to express to the officials there
the regret over the attempt on the life
of the king of Belgium Saturday and
to extend the congratulations Of the
people of this country over the kings
escape from harm.

BY FIRE.
Armour & Co.'S Packing Plant
Went Up in Smoke.
Tho Loss Is Partly Covered BY $721,-
500 lnsurance-Six Hundred Men
Are Thrown Out of Work
BY the Fire.

Sioux City. Ia, Nov. 17.-Armour &c
Co.'s packing plant, which occupied
four acres of the stock yards, and val
ued at 100000, was totally destroyed
early Sunday morning by a fire which
started on the second floor Of the
fertilizer building and is thought by
Manager Lemon to have been due
either to spontaneous combustion or to
an imperfect dryer. The loss is partly
covered by 1921, 500 insurance. Six
hundred men are thrown out of en-
ployment by the fire.
Within an hour after the fire was
discovered by Waterman six streams
of water were being thrown upon the
fire. which was cutting the fertilizer
building. which was 100 by 60 feet and
four stories high, but the pressure was
inadequate.
The floors and contents of the build
ing burned like chaff. The roof soon
fell and the fire burst through into the
beef killing house. At the same time
the cattle chute ignited, and in five
minutes fell with crash.
Once in the beef killing house, the
flames began to dance madly. From
this house to the oleo building was
only a step, and when the oils startei
to burn the fire presented a most spec
tacular appearance. The big beef
house. containing 500 carcasses, was
the next to take fire, and the whole
plant. except the hog house, was lake
of fire. The roar was terrible. The
country for miles around was lighted
up. Suddenly there was q terrific de-
donation followed quickly by another,
ard then another. Twenty-fOur drums
os 100 pounds of ammonia each explod-
ed before the reserve supply in the
ammonia cistern was reached. That
explosion almost RACED the entire
plant.
The flames were blown through the
fire wall which separated the hog
house from the other buildings. Stead
lily the fire crept against the wind and
through the Office building. Not a
scrap Of paper was saved.
When the last of the ammonia
drums was going off a burning chute
fell upon a bunch of live hogs and
their squeals were added to the ap
palling chorus.
