THREE ADMINISTRATION
BILLS PRACTICALLY DEAD,

Chicago. Jan, "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says;
1t is now said at the Capitol that
three important bills, each repre-
senting a distinct administration pol
ley. are practically dead for this sea-
son of Congress II IS limited in each
case that behind the killing of the
bills there is to be traced a personal
antagonism to President Roosevelt and
desire TO bellttle or injure his adj
ministration. This is only indirectly
true.
The subsidy bill, immigration bill,
and the Philippine tariff bill are all
moribund, chiefly IL not entirely be-
Cause each of them contains certain
provisions of a radical character which
have aroused the enmity of powerful
Interests in various parts of the coun-
try.
1t is too early TO say that each OF
these important measures. stamped
with the approval of the president in
his message to Congress, has been de-
livered to slaughter, for any or all OF
them may be resuscitated at the last
moment. by the use of the necessary
amount of legislative oxygen. The
chances are, however. that no one of
the three will pass, at least in its
original form. The intrinsic principle
of each is so Objectionable TO many
members either IN the house or sem
ate that only the mere framework of
the three bills can be passed at this
session.

MOBILIZATION OF
NATIONAL GUARD
New Regulations viii Make I'M
possible Repetition Of Difficult.
ties Formerly Experienced.
STATES MADE RESPONSIBLE.
They win Secure Recruits and De-
liver Them Mt the Proper
Headquarters.

Washington, Jan. 9.--That the new
regulations for the mobilization Of the
national guard, just perfected by Asst.
Secy. OF War Oliver will result IN max
ing impossible any repetition OF the
difficulties of reorganization OF the
militia forces in the face of war as
experienced in the early days of 1898.
Is expected by the war department.
These regulations, which have just
been printed, are drawn under the terms
of the Constitution and existing milf
tia laws and preceding statutes. These
provide for the minimum strength of
the organization of the militia In time
of peace and equipment by the state
authorities so that this force will be-
instantly available in time of need.
In the first place. 1t ia expected that
the state authorities will take advan-
tage OF the generous appropriations
made by me national government an
nually for the support of the national
guard to keep all their organizations
at certain fixed minimum strength.
These men are to be completely
equipped and drilled, and, In addition,
the state must provide ample equip
ment, arms. clothing, auartermaste~
ltiIililB, tNFI fnlt6 llGNcsHaTy
for the militiamen who may be called
into the service under the terms Of the
law.
The experience of the Spanish war re-
cruitment demonstrates that It WAS an
impossible task for the national gov
eminent to equip recruits In twos and
threes in little country hamlets and
feed and convey them to central re-
cruiting depots. Therefore. the regu-
lations provide that the tasks shall be
assumed by the state authorities; they
Will secure these recruits themselves
and provide for their maintenance
and delivery at the proper headquar-
ters, so that all that will be necessary
for the national government 10 secure
thoroughly equipped and we'll armed
men at short notice will be to call upon
the governor of state for the neces-
sary levy of troops and gather these
up at large central stations.
