 The board recommends among other establishments the following new posts: One for q regiment of infantry in tho vicinity or Los Angeles, Cal; one for q regiment of cavalry on camp on tha site Of the Nacimiento ranch; one for q regiment Of infantry in the vicinity of Albuquerque, N. NJ.

 The board recommends that tha necessary surveys be made Of the Ma cimiento ranch and Conowago valley.
 No less important than the creation of new posts and camps was the duty assigned to the board of indicating which of the existing posts might be discontinued. and also now the accom- modations of the posts might be changed for the better. The boar.i has solved these Auestions by submit ting a table which, while it does not indicate any existing post for immedi- ate abandonment. dssignates the num- beF- of such, posts-as '..tenipCrary," in- dicGting that they are to ba eliminated gradually from the list of army posts
 The board says that its reconmenda- tions are baSed on a total force of 5000 men, infantry, cavalry and field artillery The table. which also shows the accommodations to be provided at each post for troops, and which does not include sea coast artillery includes the following

WOOL SITUATION
 VERY SATISFACTORY

Boston. Feb. 1.-The wool market at the present time is in excellent condi tion. The demand is moderate, but some fair sales have been made and full prices were commanded on all transactions. Announcement was made today by the American Woolen com pany that the Providence. National. Riverside, Manton and Weybosset mills which have been shut down because of labor trouble, would be reopened. causing general satisfaction. While no boom is expected a steady trade is anticipated. Shipments since January rHshow an increase of over S.00O.000 pounds over the same period Of 1901, and about II .OO0, GOO pounds more than the receipts since the beginning of the present year.
 Territory wools hold firm and the stock Of better wools has become con siderably reduced. Holders of good wools maintain full market rates and buyers in need Of supplies readily pay those figures. For fine territory wools the secured basis is 41M49c, with some choice lots up to soc; for fine medium wools about 43G145c secured is the range of sales, the latter being for good lots. The market, for medium territory wools is quotabIe. at 3SeIf0c, clean and choice lines up to 42c.. Cleaned Oregon wCols are steady on a basis of 44@46c for fine

CRISIS IS NEAR
 HOPE IS STRONG
That the Presidents Son Will Meet it
 Successfully.

 The crisis of the disease is still to come and is looked for within the next twenty-four or thirty-six hours. The president and his wife believed their son will meet this crisis in good shape. and passing it successfully. will re cover.
 Tn fact, a slight favorable turn in the disease today has greatly relieved the strain on both of them, and the day closed much more cheerfully than yes terday. Still. reports issued through Secretary Cortelyou ran between hope and fear.
 An interesting event of the day was the receipt of telegram from Ambas- sador Pauncefote at Washington, con veying King Edwards expression of sympathy with the president and hope for the speedy recovery Of his son.

cations of the general prosperity of the country that has been presented since the dawn of the new year. President Mccall is being showered with tele- grams and letters of congratulations from officials and agents of the New York Life all over the land.
 In his report made at the beginning of the year Mir. Mccall foreshadowed the era of insurance activity now prev alent. He insisted that the old style of mana cement which was disposed 10 ouibble over the settlemen" of claims and which denied the right of the in- sured to loans and surrender values or demand. must give way to more liberal ideas. and also that an open record of all transao tious of the year should be furnished annually to the insured. II was hardly anticipated. however. that the response would be so spontaneous or of such dimensions. F'ifty-three mil lion dollars is more new business than many of the larger companies have hitherto been able to write in the course or twelve months.
 Should the present rate Of insurance keep up for the year the New York Life will secure $3OO. GOO. 900 in policies. figure so far in advance of anything hitherto achieved that there is no, op portunity for comparison.

MANDARIN OF THE Precious Ruby Clasp.

An illustrious Chinese Mandarin was riIt on the famous American food. Grape-Nuts. and he and his wife cured of stomach and kidney trouble and heart disorder after he. in particular. had been pronounced by his physician incura ble.
 His letter is written by his interpre- ter and signed with his Chinese sigma ture. It recites, For three years I was under the care of the best physicians in Russia, Germany. France. America, as well as my own country. I had tried baths and water cures almost without number. I grew worse until finally my physician pronounced me inourable and [ was doomed to die in from three to six months.
 X friend prevailed upon me to change my food and take up Grape-Nuts. This I did more to gratify my friend than from any benefit I expected, but within z4 hours the results were so gratifying as to astonish and delight myself and family.
 My improvement continued without rela pse until at the end of three months l was well and sound, weighed more and was stronger and had better ap- petite and more perfect digestion than a any other time in my life.
 My wife was also a victim of serious stomach trouble from which she had suffered for several years. She has been restored to good. robust health by the use of Grape-Nuts.
 I have recommended it in about half q dozen families and it has never failed to benefit. I will be pleased to reply to all letters having stamped envelope enclosed" Pax Cav Nun.

BULL BUTTER BILL.

Washington, TeD. 1.-The voting on the amendment to the oleomargarine bill in the house today indicated Con- siderable change Of sentiment since the last congress. when the bill had 10G ma joIity. and that the opposition to tine measure had gained strength. Whiie the passage Of the bill is not er- danEered. it is not likely that the ma jCrity tomorrow, when the final vote is taken. will exceed thirty. The oDp1- sition today was strong enough in the committee of the whole to adopt two important amendments. one providing that nothing in the act should be con strucd to prevent the manufacture and sale of oleomaTgari1e in any state for consumption entirely within such state; and the other, to provide for the inspection and branding of reno vated or process butter.
 The latter amendment vas especially obnoxious to the friends Of the meas ure. and when tine bill was reported to the house d separate vote was de handed CT it. The vote was pending when the house adjourned. Although the amendment commanded a ma joriUy of twenty in the committee of the whole. where no record is made. il ia not unlikely that the action of the committee will be reversed tomorrow when the members are obliged to go on record. Several committee amend Inents adopted today changed the phrasecIogy. the most important be- ing that making the ten cent tax apply to o!eornargarine made in imitation of butter of any shade of yellow Con- siderable feeling was injected into the proceedings toward the close of the =assioD

SETTING RIGHT
 OF EUROPEANS
ExnIanation of Their Conduct Before
 the War With Spain.

Washington. Feb. 11-In view of the statements and contradictions, more or less official in character, coming
 from the principal European capitals respecting the attitude of the powers
 individually toward the United States just preceding the Spanish American
 war, officials here feel natural re-
 Iuotance to being drawn into the con
 troversy. and it is with difficulty that even unofficial tatements can be had on this subject.
 One fact remains UnControverted.
 namely. that the European ambIssa-
 dors and ministers here called upon
 President Mckinley. April :. 1898. in an effort to prevent war. The matteEnow in controversy, is what happened after
 that call, and the question al issue is,
 as presented in the latest phase in
 European dispatches: did Lord Paun- cefote undertake to secure the support
 of other European powers in an at
 tempt at forcible restraint Of the Uni-
 ted States.
 SiftinE all the facts. the conclusion reached here is. that Lord PauncefoJe's activities in the direction of interven- tiorNhave been generally misunderstood. It is known that the Austrian minister
 was untiring in his efforts in behalf CT Spain. The United States govern flent never E-leEiSlled btie least III lt-l- ing on that score. realizing that the blood ties between the Austrian and Spanish reigning houses sufficiently excused such an attitude. Tn the course of these efforts Mir. HcnEelmuiler
 turned to Lord Pauncefote as the dean of the corps and sought to have him. as such. sec what measure of support could be secured for another and more fOrcibic representation to the United States as to the undesirability of war Lord Pauncefote was confident that no such q proposition would carry, but he yielded so far to the application of the Austrian minister as to submit his proposition to the other representa- tives of European powers. The result justified Lord Pauncefote's judgment of the outcome. and it probably was the inquiries Ee made in this proceed ing, and not any proposition originat- ing with himself. that led to the re- ports from ministers and ambassadors here to the European chancello,ies.

Washington. Feb. 11-A stirring de bate on the general Philippine ques- ton was precipitated in the senate late today. the principal participants being AIr. Platt of Ccanecticdt and Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts. MT. Teller of Colorado had concluded for the day his argument against the enactment of the pending Philippine tariff bill. In response to some statements he made, Mir Platt directed the senate's atten- ton to the situation in the islands, as he viewed it. maintaining that great progress was being made by the gov ernment in subduing the insurrection. Mir. Hoar riGiculed the statements Of NIr. Platt. and in a facetious vein. ad- verted to the efforts Of the American government to control the Filipino people.
 The remarks of the AIs,ssachUsetts senator aroused Ar. Piatt. who deliv- cred d notable speech, in the course Of which he referred to MT. Hoar in pretty sharp terms. In reply, MT Foar delivered an incisive criticism Of the action of the PhilirG'i.Te con;i-'is sion.
 Early in the day the senate passed a joint resolution. submitting a. cOnStf- tutional amendment cha nsing the time of presidential iHaugUrations and -th2 termination and commencement of congress from the fourth Of March to the last Thursday of April
 Among the measures passed were the following: Appropria ting SsO.uOp for a public building at Gainesville, Tex. and to establish sub-port or entry at NacO. AriZ.

THE PRINCE WILL COME.

Berlin. Feb. 11.-Prince Henry of Prussia will sail for the United States on Saturday as has been arranged. Even should President Roosevelt's sons illness result fatally before that time 1t is probable that the prince would enter upon his journey, unless 1t should appear to be President Roosevelt's da- sire that his visit be deferred or omit ted altogether.
 Associated Press bulletins telling of the condition of President Roosevelts son have been sent to Prince Henry at the SchIoss. The prince manifested anxious interest in them and expresse ed sorrow at young Roosevelt's illness and said he hoped he would recover.
 It is understood that both Emperor William and Prince Henry have sent personal messages to President Roose- welt.
 The first impulse of Prince Henry was to postpone his trip or give it up alto gether. He was advised. however. not to make this decision.
