lated by the Journal of Commerce, reach $19,-

GENERAL ARMY STAFF.
Realignment to Be Made to Conform to
 Recent Changes.

Realignment to Be Made to Conform to
 Recent Changes.
 Washington, Sept 8.-The Post says the general staff of the army is consid- ering the advisability of realigning the departm ents to conform to changes in the transportation situation.
 Tt is possible" says the Post, ''that one or more departments will be ere ated. The department of the east, for example, may be divided into two, the new one to be designated either as the department of the south or the gulf. Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory may be taken from the depart ment of the Missouri and combined into one department.
 Another proposition even of more interest to the country that is being considered by the general staff is the rehab ilitation. of numerous forts and posts in various parts of the country, but mainly in the west, which have practically been abandoned for several years. Now that the army consists of nearly 10000 men 1t is discovered that the posts which have been kept in re- pair are not numerous enough to ac- commodate the troops comfortably. 1t is not improb able that in this necessity some new posts will have to be estab- lished." iSi A.sz

Getting Even with the Chinese.

Getting Even with the Chinese.
 Some years ago, when Chinese op- pression was intolerable, American merchants had the alternative of wear ing the Chinese costume and shaving their heads or leaving the country. A number of Americans, in order to pro- tect their interests, adopted the dress of the land. Capt. B, H. McCalla, of the American navy, serving his country in Chinese waters at that time, encoun- tered one of these transformed Ameri- cans,
 Had to do it?" said one of the trans formed Americans, pointing to his head and queue.
 T presume conditions warrant this sacrifice of your Americanism? said the captain, scornfully.
 "Let me tell you." said the Ameri- can-Chinese, drawing closer to the captain, "the Chinese make me wear a pigtail, but in return make quite a few Chinese taels myself"
