the storm is not sufficient to bring the Po-
tomac again to the flood level.

Some speculation exists as to the renova.

the jubilee year the modern lions were
freshly gilt, but much more might be done
for the coronation. This chair has suffered

that schoolboy would then have been
able to carve on 1t the legend, "P. Abbott

BRITISH WAR ESTIMATE.
Mr. Brodrick Called on Again to De-
fend Policy.

A dispatch from London last night says:
In introducing the army estimates. 1851
coo in the house of commons today, the
war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick. entered into a
long defense of the war office. which. he
contended had done its work well, consid-
erirg that war had never been waged on
such a scale the South African war. The
war office today feeding 3Oo.OOO men
and 243eDO horses in South Africa, and
there were complaints on that score.
The experiences Of the last year had con-
1irmed the necessity for changes In the
army administration. i'll decentralization.
etc, as outlined by the government last
year Military officers and clerks were be
ing rapidly substituted in the war office for
civilian officers and clerks.
In regard to recruiting. Mr.. BrOdrick be-
lieved the limit had been reached. No re-
duction i'll the strength of the army could
be expected, and probably the Indian garr1-
son must be increased. The country had
already had enough experience CT allowing
the colonial garrisons to sink below their
proper limits. With the view of giving
flip to recruiting. the government pro-
posed to allow enlistment for three years,
with nine years in the reserve, and with
the object of inducing men to enlist for
India and elsewhere abroad, ii was pro-
posed To give every one q clear shilling per
day. If. after two years, the soldier de-
cid"d to serve eight years with the colors
and four years in the reserve. he would be
paid an extra Cd. daily. Mr.. Brodrick be-
1ieved this would result in enlisting bet
ter class of men.
In regard to the much discussed question
of volunteers, Mr.. Brodrick declared that if
the volunteers We're to be bar to conScrip-
ton they must make themselves el4.cient.
1t was proposed to establish a volunteer re-
serve. of men over forty years of age, who
Were unable TO comply with the ordinary
regulations. and establish during the pres
ent year a militia reserve of 10000 men.
The education OF all officers would be vis-
orously prose cuted and the expenses of
young officers would be lightened.

1t requires about five hours for the stom-
