The mucll-talked-of Horsemanship Test
has passed into the "things that were,
and The honor of the staff officers of our
army has been yindicated. While there
was fair sprinkling Of rotundity in the
columns. it was clearly demonstrated that
the term '.fat colonels" which has been
applied to them recently is a misnomer.
The outing was distinctly popular with
most of the officers and many OF them
have suggested tie advisability Of taking
such rides at weekly intervals for the good
of the men stationed in Washington
whose work is so sedentary as to unfit
them for sudden emergency hiking.

WASHINGTON LETTER

| WASHINGTON. D. c., October 18th, 1907.
IN administration circles the opinion pre-
: vails that there is no doubt that Secre.
! tary Taft's visit to Chins will increase the
cordial relations between China and add
to the prestige of American trade in the
Orient. The Chinese press and people
seem convinced at last that this country
has no desire to annex any part OF their
territory and that the American people
desire China's progress in the develop
uIent Of her resources and in the welfare
of her people, and the cordial sentiment
Of the Chinese government toward the
United States is held to be one more star
addd to tie Roosevelt armament.
~
6reat Interest has been aroused, not
only in military but also Ia civilian circles
hy the discovery tl:at army officers are
again thinking seriuusl! of the advislbll-
ty uf transferring the Coast artillery from
the War Ia the Navy Department and
have presented to the Secretary vi War,
arguments " hcf whether or not convinc-
ing, have at least led him To suggest TO
General Murray, Chief OF Artillery, the
adj liability Of drawing bill providing
iur such transfer. While army officers
are very anxious to get rid OF this branch
Of the service and would like to see all ex
peuditures for Notifications and mainten-
ance of the Coast Artillery charged by
Congress and by the public to the navy,
the transfer cannot be consummated,
presumably, without the sanction OF
the Secretary OF the Navy and the
STAFF officers Of that department and
there is every indication that they
will receiie the scheme with wholesale
condemnation. Moreover, the difficulties
involved in the preparation OF bill pro-
,iding for such transfer are far more num-
erous than Mr.. Taft appreciated, or else
his suggestion that such a measure be
drafted as merely another demonstration
of the kindly shrewdness he not infre-
aHeutly exhibits in compt Ling his friends
to proye to themselves that the schemes
thes have recommended to him with the
utmost fervor ana enthusiasm are by no
means practicable. While this subject
seems likely to be debated With great earn
estness until the arguments to be pre-
sent.d ON each side of the question have
been exhausted, there is not after all
much expectation that action by either
the President or the Secretary of War will
result.

The amazement, recently expressed by
Mr.. Wakeman, Secretary Of the American
Protective Tariff Lesgne, over the extent
OF tile sentiment for tariff revision
throughout the country, is source OF
amazement To those politicians and Of
ficiaIs in Washington who have, this past
summer, taken the revision pulse OF the
country. The desire for revision OF our
tariff schedules is SO universal that it is
regarded as demand by the intelligent
politicians.

Much regret is felt in Washington over
the unfortunate turn the cocktail incl

ton 10 the President has been given by
some of his misguided friends. 1t is be-
lieyed that Mr.. Fairbanks will heartily
disapproye OF the article appearing in the
recent issne of religious organ. in which
the onus for this much-advertised affair
is placed on woman friend Of the family
assisting them in their preparations for
the reception. Mr.. Fairbanks entertain.
ments in Washington, throughout the
social season, are numerous aud conducted
on magnificent scale and, wines are
served at his dinners and punches are
served at his receptions, as they are at
the establishments of all well-regulated
official and society folk the world over.
This is a well-knoWn fact aud why such
numerous and varied excuses should be
offered by Ils friends for his hospitality
in this particular instance, is not appar
ent. Mr. and Mrs Fairbanks are famous
in ,fiicial aud social circles for their gen.
erous aud cordial hospitality, and no one
heretofore has presumed to criiicise the
nature Of the refreshmeut served by this
kindly host and hostess.

An English household paper has been publishing
letters from q number of domestic servants. apro-
pos OF an accusation that servants copy their mis-
tresses in dress. One writer says that she doesn't
think there's harTn in it If they do. ''Imita-
ticn IS tho sincerest fattery.' she says II heard
q lady say the other day that she paid her SER
wants good wages in order that they might dress
well. And don't see why, If a servant works hard
often sixteen seventeen hours q day, and gets
out only perhaps for few hours a week-she
should be allowed spend her money how
she likes and wear what she likes. They have to
A uniform TO please the people they work for
and should be allowed just what they like
out OF their hours. But l think thoroughly good

money things that are OF no use TO her.
think II IS factory girls and shop assistants who
get only few shngs a week. and often half
starved, VINO try dress like people above them
they cheap jewelry and fnery In order mi-
tate" This girl is evidently observing. "'I think
she ends her letter. that every one has weak
ness 10 copy nowadays People that really cannot
a look grand their neghbors''
The writer OF another letter isfindiSnant at the
charge that servants ape their mistresses. I'VE
have plenty of ideas OF our own - she says mo
well trained servant would think of it. In all my
eighteen years OF service I have lived with a
girl who copied her mistress Why servants should
