GRATIFYING CONDITION.
ORGANIZATION and Personnel OF the
Militia Greatly Improved.

General Ainsworth, the military secre-
tary. in a report to the Secretary of war
upon the militia of the United States, says
that the organization and the personnel OF
the militia forces have been greatly I'M
proved, and that the individual members or
the National Guard have manifested an In
creased interest in it's advancement. "a
comparison of the reports of inspections Tor
the current year. he says, with those for
the year 1908 shows that the rules of dis
cipline have been more rg1dly insisted
upon, and the provisions of local law re-
curing examinations as to physical and
mental fitness for warrant or commission
have been more uniformly enforced. This
has resulted in the elimination of the un-
desirable and incompetent and the subst1tu-
ton in their stead of officers and men
whose fitness, ability, zeal and enthusiasm
have had a good effect on the organiza-
ton
The general says that a careful analysis
of the reports discloses conditions promising
future advancement in efficiency and gen.
eral disposition to abandon such customs
as have been destructive of discipline and
proficiency. While there has been no op-
portunity to determine accurately what
percentage of the organized militia may be
estimated that about 70 per cent of the
militia would respond. The new militia
law 1t is stated, has aroused the interest
of the young men in military affairs
The report recites that of 1,6S1 organiZa-
tions inspected, 1,O95 were sufficiently arm
ed, uniformed and equipped for ac,.ve duty
in the field.

which will lead to the restoration to the
Chicago federation of it's charter, which
was revoked November L.
According to these plans. the steamft-
ters and the Franklin Union of Press Feed
ers are to withdraw from the federation
The executive council of the American fed
Grafton will try to reconcile the rival Or
ganizations on a basis calculated to give
permanent peace.
President Gompers lauded the American
federation. The reasons for it's success
are to be found. he said. in the large meas
ure of independence enjoyed by the various
unions constituting the national body to-
gethel with the discipline enforced by the
latter Thus he pointed out the strength
of the separate organizations is increased

for $7OO, ,0OO, 900 Capital.

CHICAGO, December 5.-The Chronicle
today says: scheme which is the prelim-
mary step to the organization of a gigantic
telephone trust, which, when it's alleged
purpose is accomplished, will involve a cap
ital estimated at $70O, ,OOO, 600, and which will
put out of existence all Independent tele-
phone manufacturing companies in the
country, has come to light in Chicago with
the announcement that representative of
an eastern syndicate is endeavoring to OBJ
tain options on all Independent factories in
the city, and has obtained a few.
Similar options are being sought from all
the Independent telephone manufacturing
companies throughout the country, with the
object of forming a big combination of
manufacturing telephone interests on
about the same order as other large cor
porations such as the United States Steel
Corporation, in order to eliminate competi-
ton in this line
w. J. Hilands of Chicago, who is said to
represent eastern parties in the movement,
declared that the proposed combination had
proceeded so far that there was very little
doubt about its consummation.

QUESTION OF PASSPORTS.
Mirsky Has Strengthened Commission
to Revise Regulations.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 5.-The commits
sion which has been instituted to revise
the passport regulations and to which the
question of the recognition without dis
elimination of American passports has been
referred by the foreign office has been en-
larged and strengthened by Interior Min
lister Sviatopolk- -Mirsky, M. Malevsky-Ma
witch succeeding Baron Tanbe as represen-
tative of the foreign office.
The commission has not yet reached the
question raised by the United States. The
Novoe vremya discussing the subject, con-
tends that SO long as the present Jewish
laws are in force in the empire it is i'm
possible to grant foreign Jews greater priv
ileges than are granted to native Jews. Be
sides the paper argues from the frequency
of lynchings and the general treatment of
negroes in the south that there is more
race prejudice in the United States than in
Russia

TOPIC MOST DISCUSSED.
Proposed Reduction Of Southern Repre-
sentation in the lHsuse.

BY far the most absorbing topic among
democratic congressman at the Capitol to-
day was the suggested reduction Of repre-
sentation of the southern states. They
have talked Of but little else. and on every
side the question was heard, 'Will the re-
publicans attempt itT'
The tendency of this problem served to
lessen somewhat the freedom of intercourse
between the factions which Is usual at the
beginning Of the session, and a certain air
of reserve was noticed between men who
heretofore have been good political friends.
There is no doubt thai the southern men
are deeply exercised OVER the question. The
recent discussion by Senator Bacon and
Leader Williams has seryed to draw atten-
ton to the subject.
The attitude Of the republicans is that
of men who believe that a thing will ulti-
mately be done, but are not convinced that
the time is ripe to do 1t. They are not
excited over the proposition, but are coldly
and determinedy in earnest.
One of the House leaders Of the move
ment is Representative Crumpacker of
Indiana He said today that he was not
ready to discuss it at this time, but would
confer first with his colleagues.

Sir Chentung Liang sCheng, the Chinese

day about the Chinese exclusion treaty

today denied the application for writs Of
certiorari in the cases Of the American
Sugar Refining Company, ]. H. Bertram
and others and B. H. Howell & Co. of New

SIMPLY CHICKENPOx.
Report of Epidemic on the Prairie Dis
credited.

Advices were received at the Navy De-
partment this morning to the effect that
the cruiser Prairie had sailed from League
Island navy yard for Port Royal, and that
the illness of a member of her crew which
was first diagnosed as smallpox proved on
further examination to be simple case
of chicken-pox, and was not sufficiently
serious to interfere with the plans of the
vessel. In view of the departure of the
vessel the officials are satisfied that there
is no truth in the report that she sustained
serious damage by humping into the navy
yard dry dock and had been quarantined at
Philadelphia on account of the alleged epi-
demic among her crew.

of Benton has appealed to Gov. Yates to
send two more companies of militia to Zeig-
Ter. If the request is granted, Company /
of Vandalia and Company of Cairo will
be the companies to respond.
Sheriff Stein sent the request by letter,
and pointed out to the governor that the
e1ghty-five soldiers now at Zeigler were
working thirteen hours each night; that
every man in the two companies was on
duty, and that the strain was beginning to
tel on them, and hence the need of more
men to guard the besieged town

Missing Letters in the Swayne Case
Were Taken by Mistake.

The mystery which surrounded the disap-
pearance of the five important documentary
exhibits upon the records Of the Swayne
hearing before the judiciary subcommittee
of the House last week has been solved by
the return of the papers to Representative
Palmer, the chairman OF the subcommittee.
The members of the committee were for
time strongly of the opinion that the letters,
which were of the greatest Importance as
evidence against Judge Swayne, had been
distracted from the records It appears,
however, that Judge Lddon of Florida, who

drawn from 200 men, after two days

ed with the sensational murder of

fendant because Of an alleged incom-
petent statement on the part of the
commemorative attorney within the
hearing of the jurors to the effect that
the defendant In case Of the kind at
the bar deserved the death sentence.
A special venire of the two hundred
men has been ordered from the ad-
joining county Of Scott.

victed on circumstantial evidence and
given the death penalty, but the ap-
pleate court granted new trial on
technicality. The Mastin murder
