NATIONAL GUARD EQUIPMENT.
Inquiry as to Needs Addressed to State
Military officials,

The policy of the War Department in the
matter of the issue Of arms and accouter-
ments to the militia of the various states
is shown in a letter addressed by Colonel
Parker of the cavalry In charge of the mill
tia division of the adjutant gc~~..rs office
to the adjutants general of the various
states and territories and the District of
Columbia in which he says:
Under the act making appropriation for
the support of the army approved March
2. 1868, the Secretary of War is authorized
to eXpend two million dollars in procuring
articles to fully arm, equip and supply the
organized militia. This is in addition to the
issue of standard service magazine arms
and accouterments authorized by the militia
act of January 2l. 1903. AS the sum appro-
priated will probably not fully accomplish
the object and further appropriations will
be necessary from time to time. the Secre-
tary wishes to eXpend this sum of two mill
ion dollars already appropriated. in such a
way as to put the department in possession
of the articles which will contribute most
effectively to the immediate prepara ton of
the militia for active operation and render
them most effective If they shall be uneX-
pectedly called into the service of the
United States
so far as it is consistent with the ac-
complishment of this purpose. he desires
to meet the wishes of the governors of the
several states in the preparation of material
for which they may make acquisitions, in
the proportion which the number of organ
lied militia of each state bears to the whole
number in all the states. AS the prepa-
ration of artillery material requires con-
siderable time, the Secretary Immediately
after the passage of the act authorized the
chief of ordnance to apply the sum of $3.50 =
coo to the preparation for militia use Of
field pieces and carriages of the new model
uyl1i irh he army &c
equipped. AS a guide to the further eX-
pen6iture of the sum appropriated the Sec
retary would be glad to have from you all
the information which you can conveniently
give as to the articles which you deem
most necessary for the full armament and
equipment of your National Guard"

AN ASSISTANT ATTORNEY.
E. S. Huston Appointed to Appear Be-
fore the Treaty Claims Commission.

f. S. Huston of Burlington, Iowa, has
been appointed an assistant attorney to
represent the government in suits and cases
before the Spanish treaty claims commits
sion. Including Mr.. Huston there are elev-
en- assistant attorneys for the government
in cases before the commission. Some of
the attorneys are in Spain, some In Cuba
and others elsewhere, looking up the facts
and testimony. The commission continues
to exist. How long 1t will do business is
not known. Congress made a provision
that the President should continue the life
of the commission for periods Of six months
until he was certain the commission had
concluded its labors. The existence of the
commission has already been several times
prolonged. The appointment of an addi-
tiona1 attorney would lead to the supposi-
ton that there is yet much work for the
commission to do.
Mr.. Huston is a well known lawyer in
Burlington He was at one time candt-
date for a place on the supreme bench in
Iowa. but was defeated. He was highly
recommended by both of the Iowa senators,
by Secretary Shaw and many others.

THE RUSSIAN GUARANTEES.
This Government Resting, Satisfied
With the Assurances Received.

Notwithstanding the publication of dis
patches from various foreign cities ques-
toning the extent of the promises made to
the American government by China and
Russia respecting Manchuria, the officials

brief was to the effect that satisfa ctory as
surances had been received that two or
more Manchurian ports would be opened TO

China, which is here regarded as the SOW

pledges. and it IS equally certain that the
United States government fully intends
that they shall be kept. The details refer

John F. Gaynor and Benjamin Greene,
implicated with Capt. Oberln NJ. Carter in
defrauding the government out of a million
or more dollars in engineer work for the
War Department in the Savannah Ga,
harbor, it is believed are almost certain to
be extradited They succeeded in defeat ting
the efforts of the government for a long
time. but the machinery Of, the United
States has been relentlessly at work to get
the men. and the intelligence arrived at
the Department Of Justice today by cable
from London that the privy council of
Great Britain has granted this government
Justice Caron of Quebec. who released
Greene and Gaynor on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. The cable message today came
from Donald McMaster, the special attor-
ney for the United States in the Greene and
Gaynor case. He cables that the govern
ment has not only been accorded the right
of appeal from Justice Caron's decision but
that the lord chancellor states that the of
fenses of the men are clearly eXtraditable.
The lord chancellor adds that one Judge OF
Canadian court cannot interfere with an
other, as Justice Caron did. in SO serious
matter.
Officials Of the Department of Justice are
tubilant and say that the decision clearly
fOreShadows the eXtraditfon of the two men
who are wanted for their conspiracy with
with Carter. They are also charged with
having received large portion of the
money that was obtained. Carter is serving
sentence at Fort Leavenworth. He was an
engineer officer of the army and made
long fight against conviction.
When Greene and Gaynor were appre-
hended In Quebec they reSorted to every
kind of legal expedient to prevent extradi-
ton. Officers kidnapped and took them to
Montreal but they succeeded in preventing
being brought to this country. Their case
was before an extradition commissioner,
