Report on the Militis

OSs''
Discharged tsns i in 1908 11$ 2s, ii
Report on the Militia.
Over half of the report is devoted
to the militia and the workings Of
the new act to promote the eff1cien-
cy Of the militia. The total number
of the organized militia, including Of
fcers, is 1862.
Regarding the dependable strength
of the militia in time Of national peril,
the adjutant general states that "al-
tho the obligation to respond promptly
to a sudden call Of the president has
been on the statute books more than
a hundred years, and the neglect to
SO respond is punishable by court,
rather than a fact. The proportion
of the membership who have actu-
ally responded to such calls has been
q very small proportion to those &C
tually borne on the rolls
Only about thirty of each original
company were finally received into the
service Of the United States in the
Spanish war.

altho it is doubtful, he adds, if this
enmity extends to any considerable
portion of their membership.
There is also opposition on the part
of employers to permitting employees
to leave work to participate in drills,
encampments and larger practice, las
we'll as to respond to calls for service
from. the state for the suppression of
turbances.
The Race Problem.
In some cities of. Virginia, Georgia
and Louisiana, the newspapers have
prejudiVed the militiamen by distort-
ed views. The fear is expressed in
some southern communities that I'M
der the presidents orders white ma
tional guardsmen might be compelled
| to serve under colored commander.
Among the recommendations are
| the following:
An appropriation for general rnanenvers,
| giving forage ito the horses Of mounted
militia troops and officers, per diem al
| lowance for hire of horses, furnishing of
| fuel for cooking and heating, and for
| furnishing Of straw and hay for the bed

To increase the attendance at drills,
that governors be permitted to utilize the
allotment of their respective states for a
! per diem allowance, not to exceed 43 cents
per drill of IL hours, so as to pay en-
listed men for attendance at each of the
/ twenty -four drills annually required
! That as a precedent to participation in
maneuvers, the states require a sufficient
! physical examination for entrance
/ That veterans be permitted to retain
/ rifles and carbines now in use by military

them in on receipt of new arms.

NATIONAL HOLIDAY
 GAILY CELEBRATED
French People Observe July IA
 With Great Enthusiasm
LOUBET REVIEWS TROOPS
Streets of Paris Are Thronged With Merrymakers and From All the Provinces Comes News
 of the Festivities.

Paris, July A. = The French national holiday was enthusiastically celebrated today. The main feature was the review of the garrison of Paris. The troops as- sembled at Long Champ at an early hour before the heat became oppressive. Many spectators witnessed the arrival of the soldiers cheering the favorite corps as they reached the grounds. General Andre, the minister of war, accompanied by a brilliant stan and the foreign military at- taches, soon followed. At o'clock an artillery salute announced the arrival of President Loubet who was accompanied by Premier Combes and other cabinet ministers and the presidents of the sem ate and chamber of deputies. whom Gen eral Andre and the military governor of Paris and their staffs escorted to the re- viewing stand. Madame Loubet soon fol- lowed and the review commenced, ending with the usual distribution of decora- tions. a
 The charge was executed by six regi- ments of cavalry, which were drawn up in fine style about fifty yards in front Of the presidential stand and aroused the greatest enthusiasm on the part of the spectators. Immediately afterward M. Loubet and the ministers, with their es- corts, left Long Champ, warmly applaud ed along the route as they had been while proceeding to the reviewing grounds.
 The heat was tempered by cool breeze. The Parisians and many visitors crowded the streets and boulevards which were gaily adorned with flags, the stars and stripes mingling in the decorations. The government and other theaters which gave free matinees were densely crowd ed. The open air performance in the square in front of Victor Hugos residence was well attended while dancing was in full sway at many points. It was noticeable that the fete was accompanied by more popular enthusiasm than has characterized any celebration in recent years
 This evening the streets of Paris were thronged with merry crowds dancing to the music furnished by bands stationed at most of the crossways A feature of these open air balls was the popularity of cakewalk. The government, municipal and many private buildings were bril- llantly illuminated and great displays of fire works were given at prominent points In the city. It was unquestionably one of the gayest fourteenths of July seen for years. British flags are exceptionally numerous in the decorations. The fes- tivities are likely to continue until day light

MINISTER CONGER
 IS AT NEW CHWANG
WILL MAKE PERSONAL lNsPEc- TON OF SITUATION OF MAN. cHuRIA- JAPANESE DISPATCHES ARE HOPEFUL.

Pekin July 14.-United States Minister Conger arrived at New Chwang today where he will make personal investiga- ton of the situation.
 M. Lessar, the Russian minister to China, will return here late today. The Russian legation is without information regarding the result of the conference Of high Russian officials at Port Arthur.
 Dispatches from Japan on the situation are optimistic, but on account of the con- tinuing reports of Russian activity on the Yalu river, and also that statement made by the Corean legation here that China will not consent, and the Coreans them selves are unable to open Atiami to trade, because of Russian objections, the opin- ion here is gloomy.
 Unless the evacuation of Manchuria oc- CUTS soon, the belief obtains that the acts of belligerent Russians on the Yalu win precipitate conflict, as 1t Is uner- stood that Japan will regard the con- tlnuation of Russian encroachment on the territory bordering the Yalu as casus belli.

INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED.
Revenue Officers Will Seize Tobacco:
 Not Bearing Stamp.

Washington. July 14.-A oircular of instructions to internal revenue officers and all others concerned, has been issued by the commissioner of internal revenue, calling attention to the gross irregulari- ties and violations of law that now exist in the handling and sale of manufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarettes by jobbers and dealers. A practice generally prevails of exposing the taxable articles for sale separated from the packages bearing the stamps denoting the payment of the internal revenue tax.
 This, 1t Is said, is a serious violation of the law Jobbers and dealers are given until November 1, 1903, to get their stock on hand in order. After which date all manufactured tobacco. snuff, cigars and cigarettes found on the market exposed for sale not protected by the tax paid stamps, will be seized.
