WEST POINT TRAINING.

II Has It's Lasting Effect on Mems
Manners.
The old West Pointer said to the lady
who sat beside him at the recent foot
ball game between Princeton and the
soldiers: "You will observe how strong
are the habits lnculcated by a mill
tary training"
The game was just about to begin
Each eleven was drawn up on Its own
side Of the field awaiting the sound of
the referees whistle. The plgskin was
placed on the line that divided the
grldiron into halves in place of the
kickoff. A silence fell upon the spec
tators as the referee raised his hand
and shouted:
"Are you ready. Princeton"
In reply from the Princeton captain
came something that sounded very
much like:
Yep"
"Are you ready, West Point2"
I'VE are ready. sir" returned the
West Point captain, politely.
II told you So said the old West
Pointer, smiling grimly. "The training
of which this little incident Is but a
faint index begins In the days of the
mueh-pitied plebe. The system has
been elaborated since my day. Last
summer | went up to Peekskill where
the cadets were In camp, and early one
morning | was wandering through a
company street when an upper class
man stuck his head out Of tent and
inquired In a stentorian voice:
"'Who is the woodenest plebe In this
company The next moment every
plebe In the street stuck his head out
between the tent flaps and responded
gravely:
81 ap, SIR
"They don't dare to order the plebes
to black their boots any more since the
congressional investigation, but they
accomplish the same result quite as
effectually. The upper classmen will
deposit a pair of sOiled boots in front
of a plebe, look him over with fierce
glance and inquire:
"'Do you see those boots, sirT and
the plebe will answer:
ayes, sir
livery well, sir says the uppel
classman with great stress on the first
word, and, with another threatening
glance, be departs. The boots are al

SALISBURY RESIGNS.
Il Was Expected, but Not SO SOOn--Succssdsd
BY A. ]. BaItOur.'

Uy ~ d UditOuTs
London, July l6.-The fact of the
resignation of the premiership of Great
Britain by Lord Salisbury has been Off
cially given out. The prime minister
laid down the responsibilities of his
Office July H.
Within "a hours his majesty elevated
A. j. Balfour, the governments chief
representative in the house Of commons,
to tho position of premier.
While it was expected. in political
and commercial circles that Lord Sal
isbury's retirement would be coincident
with the coronation OF King Edward,
it was scarcely looked for prior to that
event. Consequently about the only
surprise expressed as the news spread
through London concerned the date,
rather than the fact of the resignation.
The real interest was not so much in
reference to Lord salisbury's with
drawal as it was in the appointment of
his successor.
The liveliest speculation is rife as to
the personnel Of the new cabinet The
most discussed feature of the pending
changes is the position of Mr.. Cham
berlain, the colonial secretary, who in
many quarters has been regarded as the
most promising candidate for the pre-
miership.
AS to Lord SaIisbury's withdrawal ,
the main reason is considered by prac-
tically all well informed persons to
have been desire for quiet life on
the part OF a man advanced in years,
whose activities have been unusual and
whose scientific tastes predisposed him
to study and seclusion.
Although Lord Salisbury's resigna-
ton does not necessarily involve the
reconstruction of the cabinet, it is be-
lieved there will be some changes. II
is considered not unlikely that some Of
the ministers will be made peers in
order to make room for new blood in
the cabinet.

Department Proposes to Make Vancouver One
Of the largest in Country.


Washington, July l5.-The action of
the war department ia allotting Sl42,-
900 for immediate expenditure in en-
larging the present quarters at Van
couver Barracks indicates that this post
is not only to be retained as department
headquarters, but is to be gradually
developed as one of the largest peIma-
nent army stations. The money now
made available will be expended under
the direction Of the department and
constructing quartermasters in enlarg-
ing and fitting up the 10 barracks
buildings now standing, making them
sufficiently large to accommodate full

artillery Of 100 men each. Such addi-
tional officers quarters will be erected
as are necessary to accommodate the
complement OF officers in command Of
the troops provided for. A large build
ing for the bachelors mess" will also
be erected, together with several smaller
buildings not yet arranged for.
The apportionment of funds made
does not provide for sewer, water and
heating systems, for which additional
funds will be allotted later. In the
construction Of all buildings, local tim
Der will be used, as experience has
taught that on the Pacific coast frame
buildings are a great deal cheaper and
equally as satisfactory as brick. Plans
for this new work are now being COM
pleted, and will be advertised at an
early date, as most of the work will be
done by contract.
At Fort Lawton, $105, 500 has been
apportioned for erecting new quarters
for two additional companies of infantry
in addition to the two companies now
quartered there, while headquarters for
regiment will also be built. making
this the most important post on Puget
sound. These buildings will be frame.
At Fort Wright the $27 900 allotted
will be expended in erecting officers
quarters of brick, to replace. the quar- :
ters now provided. Work at the late
named posts will be done by contract,

quartermasters now at these stations.
