 Both teams played an excellent game behind the pitchers. The fielding was fast and snappy all through the game. The errors of Atz and Busch amounted to nothing as neither cost run. Whiteridge used considerable judg- in the eighth inning. after ltisch sin gled to right field. He struck cut Stultz keeping Busch on first. Moles- worth. who had previously cracked out o m lHe nTSl lnnlnS, dangerous and Molesworth was walked, depending upon getting Schwartz, which he did. Schwartz flying out to Rickert. This was as near as the vis- ttors came to securing a run during the entire game.
 Stultz pitched equally as well as the Pelican twirler. but unfortunately for him he allowed them to bunch two hits in the second inning. which rave them the only run. Genins opened this inning with single to center: Holly followed with a sacrifice send ing Genins to second. Then Rickert who has been batting in tough luck for two weeks, met one of Stultz's benders on the nose, sending 1t to left field scoring Genins. who reached the plate after q desperate sprint and slide.
 Catcher Clark was ordered from the grounds in the fourth inning for using offensive language to Umpire Pfennin- ger.

The clues were a pile of rags in
one corner and peculiar marks where
the dust was to be seen on the floor.
Are not dust marks and a small

Washington. D. c., Nov. 2S.-The
annual report of the Secretary of War
made public to-day shows the army
of the United States, Dec. Z. 1908, to
have consisted of 1851 officers and
$500 enlisted men, a total of 59,181.
In addition there were in the serv-
ice 2.SO7 men of the Hospital Corps,
twenty-six officers and 500 men of the
Porto Rico Regiment, and ninety-nine
officers and 4,S05 enlisted Philippine

Secretary says, 1.-THE Alaskan telegraph
system is now complete, and the time
is doubtless not far distant when pri-
vate enterprise will render it possible
for the army to gradually withdraw
from telegraph work in Alaska, thus
following the policy which has hereto
fore obtained under similar circum-
stances. This view finds confirmation
in the fact that $50 1858 was spent
during the year for Alaskan kilograms

The MIIitih.
In dealing with the militia the sec
rotary says: 1t is gratifying to be
able to report that very satisfactory
progress has been made toward bring
ing the organized militia of the several
states and territories to a condition
equal TO that of the regular army,
respecting armament and equipment.
Officers of both services have cheer
fully and effectively co-operated in
meeting the requirements of the new
law, both in letter and in spirit, and
their combined efforts to bring the
militia up to the high standard of
the army in discipline and instruction
are meeting with excellent results.
Under the provisions of Section 10
Of the new militia law, magazine arms

ments practical experience in the trans
portation and supply of troops; and
they enable officers and men to &C
quire a knowledge of camp sanitation
that may mean the saving of many
lives in future. To the militia these
encampmehts furnish, moreover. not
only a means of observing the meth
DDS of the regular service, but of COM
pairing their own progress with that
of the militia Of other states. The
prime object of the maneuvers is to
disseminate practical military knowl-
edge among those upon whom we must
draw for officers of volunteers in time
Of war.
Cost of the Army.
The cost of the army is dealt with
in comparative statement, comment
ing on which the secretary says:
1T will be observed that estimates
and expenditures have progressively
decreased. The estimate for 1901 was,
in round numbers, $12S, 200, 900; for
1902, $113,500, 900; for 1903, $99,S00, 900;
for 1904, s77,sOO,ooO; for 1905,
$77, 1000 for 1906, $72,700,OO0.
Upon estimate for $12S. 100000 for 1901,
the appropriations were $ll45OO,OOO
and the expenditures sos, 100000; upon
the estimate for S113,500,000 for 1902,
the appropriations were S116,000,OO0
and the expenditures $79,000,000 upon
the estimate for S99.SOO, 900 for 1903,
the appropriations were $92, 100000, and
the expenditures $4,000, 900; upon the
estimate for $4,000 600 for 1904, the APP
preparations were SIS. 100000 and the
expenditures s69,000,000.
1.-THE estimates presented last year
for the support of the military estab-
lishment proper, involving chiefly
things consumed during the year,
were $655,0 less than the previous
years appropriations and $19i, 900 less
than the previous years estimates.

hcers and 14,949 men in the artillery
branch and lap officers and 24,O74 men
in the infantry with 2,013 recruits.
During the year, 461 native Filipinos
enlisted as scouts.
withstanding the fact that
mean strength of 25379 troops were on
foreign service during the year, only
629 deaths occurred from all causes
in the entire army-American and ma
tive troops.
The clothing allowance for the Amer
lean soldier is of the amplest, both in
quantity and quality the ration fur
nished has long been the surprise ana
wonder of military men of foreign ma
tions, and that the private in the Unit
ed States army, who receives $13 per
month, is well paid can be seen from
the following statement showing the
pay of privates in other countries:
Austria-Eungary, 73 cents per month;
France, $1.74; Germany, 81 so; Great
Britain, $7.l4; Japan, 60 cents; Russia,
IL cents.
Makeup of the Army.
Commenting on the various branches
of the army, the Secretary says:
ut is quite obvious that the num-
Der of artillerymen in the service
should be increased; but this does not,
1t seems to me, require that the army
as a body should be increased, but
only that there should be a reduction
in the other branches with a view to
increasing the highly technical branch
of the artillery. Our present army is
maintained not only for service as
such, but as the basis or skeleton for
much larger army in time of war,
and 1t is therefore necessary that those
branches of the service the prepare ton
of which for a war footing requires a
long period of time should be much
larger in proportion than those
branches which can be readily added
to. when the necessity arises. For this
reason the proportion of cavalry regi-
ments to infantry regiments is much
larger than it would be in time of
war, and for the same reason the pro-
portion of the artillery force to that
of the infantry and the cavalry ought
to be increased, because the technical
skill required in artillerymen and the
length of time needed to bring them
UP TO the requirements of modern ar
tillery service would be greater even
than In the equipment and preparation
of a cavalry force"
