The Size OF the Army =.

The final step in bringing the army to
a peace footing was taken on Friday,
when Secretary Roof completed an or
der for reducing the military forces of
the United States by some 1000 men.
The first step was taken on May 81 last &.
when an order was issued reducing the
army by about HOO men; the new
order puts it again on a peace footing
after four years and six months of war
strength.
The army was increased at the out
break of the Spanish war, and its strength
was further enlarged by the act of Feb
ruary, 1901, which fixed the permanent
force at not moro than 5000, exclusive
Of Philippine native troops.
The army was never raised to it's full
strength. however; and the new order
calls for its gradual reduction from 90, 4g7,
its strength since June /, to 80, $50 men.
No discharges are to be made 10 bring
about this diminution, but recruiting will
be relaxed and vacancies in the ranks
occurring naturally will not be filed.
strength of the artillery is barely suni-
cient 10 keep the armament of the forts
in condition, the Secretary of War has
confined his pruning wholly to the cav
airy and infantry. The former arm
hereafter will consist of fifteen rogi-
ments, with total strength of l2.?4O
men; each troop will have 65 enlisted
men instead Of 70, as at present. The
infantry, chiefly affected by the order of
last May, is the principal sufferer by the
new order. Five months ago each COM
panv lost q men; now it loses Is more,
making "a strength s.. The total in
fantry hereafter will he 24,iS0, in thirty
regiments. The bands of the three arms
are not reduced in strength.
The engineer battaions will not be re-.
duced. nor will the strength of the Ord
nance and the Signal Corps.
An allowance Of ,2i5 enlisted men is
made for the purpose of maintaining at
their full strength the troops and COM
panies stationed AT the artillery and
cavalry aud the infantry and cavalry
schools at Fort Riley and Fort Lcaven-
worth. and the infantry company serv-
ing in China as the legation guard at
Pckin. The miscellaneous detachments
such as the recruiting parties and the
enlisted force at W"st Point. will not
bc made smallcr.

An Attempt to start a Religious
Revival.

At the convention OF the alliance Of
the Churches holding to the Presbyterian
system, held at Philadelphia this week,
The chief subject of discussion concerned
methods for pushing the work Of evan
gelization on a scale of eNtraordi-
nary magnitude. The Rev. DIR. WILBUR
CHAPMAN, who resigned recently the
pastorship of a New York Presby-
terrain church in order to take charge of
the movement, declared that there has
never been time when the outlook for
the successful issue Of such an enterprise
was so bright IA it is now, and, further
more, that the Presbyterian Churc is
coming to be the evangelistic Church of
our country
This movement, IL seems, is To be
pushed forward throughout the Union,
but in the great cities, more especially.
Mr. JOHN n. CONVERSE of the famous
Baldwin Locomotive Works. who is
chairman of the Presbyterian General
Assembly's committee on the under
taking and large contributor To the
fund for carrying it on, was not so conf
dent in his expressions as DR.. CHAPMAN,

New York, March u.-A better show than expected from Liverpool had the eff feet of advancing the early New York cotton market to points. The air was fui! of bull talk. Buying for account of Wall street and the south was in pro- gress on a fair scale, and luke-warm of the past week arising from the heavy movement and bear talk from Liverpool was again succeeded by a decidedly more cheerful feeling. Receipts ar ports were N,cOO against 26OOO last year. Rain fell to small extent at a few points in the southwest Proit-taking was heavy enough to set the market back tp 3 points after the opening, and spot houses were making efforts to prevent frssh spurt. Cables were shade easier at he close. Houses who have figured on he bear side were fair buyers today. Ac- counts are numerous as to contemplattd reduction of acreage, but at the sane time not few reports are coming in as to large sales of fertilizers. Such confict
