1t cannot continue these expenditures
after the close of this month.
For the information Of the delegates
You win further state that The strike in

the national organization than any other
movement in our history. in which a
like number of men have been involved
Strikes are now and have been for some
time in progress in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky
all of which are receiving support from
the national organization. Many OF
the men involvd in these strikes have
been members of the organization since
the national union was formed and have
during all tnOse years, paid dues and as.

benefit as has been paid to the strikers
in District 10, vast majority of whom
were not members of the organization

augurated.
1t is unnecessary to say that we keen
" regret that the miners of Colorado
and Utah have not succeeded In Their
effort to secure higher wages and moro
favorable conditions of employment and
it is also source of keen regret that
the revenues of our organization are

Their financial support and to terminate
the strike upon any terms obtainable.
It IS our sincere hope that Al those who
have participated in the struggle may
be able TO secure unemployment, that
they may retain their interest in the
organization and prepare themselves for
a more successful movement Mt the first
favorable opportunity in Colorado and

Charleston. w Va, July 30-The
Democratic members of this Legislature
true to their party record of making
mistakes at critical periods, defeated the
constitutional amendment last evening
which. II adopted, would have resulted
in the removal OF all state taxes. Jeal
Gus OF teh good record of the Republican
party in this state, and to prevent the
adding of one more chapter to its many
achievements, they declined to assist the
Republican members of the house in
passing this constitutional amendment
The amendment was voted on in the
house yesterday afternoon and all the
Republican votes, SO in number, We're
cast in favor of its adoption. To pre-
sent constitutional amendment to the
people it requires two-third vote of
all the members elected to the legisla
ture. As SO is this total number, IS
would be necessary for two-third vote
The Republicans in the house therefore
lacked five votes to pass the amendment.
They begged the Democratic members
for these votes no necessary, but deaf
ear met their requests. Twenty Demo
Gratis voted against the adoption of the
constitutional amendment, four of then
number declining to vote, and twelve
members were absent. After the vote
was taken, on motion of Judge Reynolds
the announcement of the same was de.
ferred until Saturday morning at 1000
o'clock, in the hopes taht enough of the
Democrats contingent would see the fol-
ly of their way and change their minds
over night. But that was not the case.

GROWTH OF JAPANESE ARMY.
Weaker In Calvary Than Other
Arms Of the Service.

In a paper in the Journal of the
United Service of India on the growth
of the military power of Japan. Cap
tain H. w. X. Senior traces the origin
of the present japanese army to the
action of the mlkado. when a com.
mission was sent out from Japan to
all foreign countries in 1869 to in
qure into the best system of national
defense. the best system of education
and the best religion. On its re-
turn the commission reported the
French military system. the British
naval system and the American sys-
TEN of education to be the best. They
stated, however, that they found no
civilized religion to be worth adopt
ing"
in 1887 the mlkado undertook the re.
organization of his land forces on
Prusslan lines. with the assistance of
a German military mission. The is
sue was seen in the trump of Japan
in the war with China in 1895.
The indemnity received from China
was partly applied to the further re.
organization of the army and reforms
were instituted which were "to be
completed in April. 1903. and to be in
full working order by 1905, when the
japanese army will have peace
strength of 100000 men and 10000
horses. capable of expansion by train
ed men to an army OF 100000 men
and 100000 horses for war. with a SUI
pernumerary reserve of another 500,-
900 men"
The mikado, as head OF the empire,
Is assisted by an advisory board of
generals and admirals.
The cavalry are armed with sword
and carbine. those of the Imperial
guard alone carrying lance for escort
duties. This is the weakest portion
of the army. the Japanse being indif.
ierent riders. The artillery and the
engineers are well organized and
equipped The medical arrangements
are excellent.
