Our Army Is Small.

In the sense in which the term is
used in Europe, this country has no
military reserve. The two military
forces recognized by law and custom
are the regular army and the militia
The regular army is comparatively
small force. Taking into consideration
its size, population and position among
nations, this country has the smallest
standing army in the world. For many
years preceding the war with Spain
our regular army numbered only about
$4,000 men. With the outbreak of hos
tilities with Spain came very large
increase. After the close of the con-
dict, however, there was steady, radi
cal reduction, until the American
standing army to-day numbers only
about 10000 men. or these, about one
fourth, or in the neighborhood OF 49,
1000. are in the Philippines. A small
force is maintained in Alaska, and a
still smaller in Hawaii, leaving, in
Yound numbers, 10000 soldiers of the
regular army in this country, or an in
crease OF only about $1,000 since the
days preceding the conflict with Spain

resignation of President Palma viii be

terday in the name of President
Roosevelt, that unless they consent to
fair arbitration, the United States

Buffalo, N. Y. Sept 27-At ,
O'Clock this morning the democratic
state convention nominated William
Randolph Hearst for governor after a
session which began early in the
evening. His nomination was reached
on the first ballot and ended one Of
the bitteTest contests ever waged III
a democratic convention in this state.
The real test came on the adoption
of the report of the committee on
contested seats, the convention ap-
proving the majority report by 244 to
142. This result gave two score i'd
ditional votes to the Hearst element,
and was a convincing showing of his
strength.
The speeches in nomination OF
Congressman Sulzer and John A Dix
were extremely bitter in denunciation
of Hearst, who was vehemently de-
nounced as inconsistent in his democ-
racy.
Bourke Cochran, in a speech sec
onding Hearsts nomination, defined
his attitude at length and justified
his previous position with regard to
Hearst and his criticisms of that gen.
tleman by saying:
THE man who criticises you must
be either a fatterer or a friend,-and
never an enemy"
Cochran then said he came to this
convention eager to find a candidate
who could be elected. Il had hoped
this candidate would be another be-
sides him we are advocating tonight,
but no one else came up to the meas
ure."
