War Department Sends Letter
to All Governors.
State Militia Must Conform to
Regulations of Regulars.
WILL GET NO MONEY
Unless the Requirements Are
Strictly Complied With.
No More Will "Tin SOIdiers'' Go
With Uncle Sam.

Washington, June 11.-Acting Secre-
tary of War Oliver has addressed a
letter notifying governors of states and
territories that on January q, next,
under the terms of the Dick militia
act, the militia organization must con-
form to that of the regular and volun-
teer armies of the United States. He
suggests that the governors take the
necessary steps to secure such con-
formity.
Says General Oliver:
Failure to meet this statutory re-
quirement will result in debarr;nG 4
state from the use of the allotment of
the annual appropriation of $2,0o0,O0O
for the support of the militia
The act requires that the number of
regularly enlisted organized and uni
formed as active militia. shall be at
least 100 for each senator and repre-
sentative of each state.
General Oliver suggests to the gov
ernor provisions for an enactment by
the legislatures in brief as follows:
The definition of the duties of the
adjutant general and his assistants and
the quartermaster general and his as
SiStants: Provision for the necessary
general officers and for a staff made
up of adjutant general, inspector gen.
erals, judge advocates, general quar-
termasters, subsistence, medical, hos
pital corps, pay engineers, ordnance
and signal corps. The guard must be
divided into divisions, brigades, regi-
ments, etc. to confirm to the regular
army organization, reserving to the
government the power of reorganiza-
tion to increase the efficiency and to
make the companies and numbers of
officers assigned to organizations cor
respond to the regular army.
The new law will have a far reach
ing effect upon the national guard of
the country for in very few states do
the organizations correspond with
those of the regular service. The most
important change required will prob
ably be in the great increase in the
of men in companies and regi-
ments for it is a fact that in many
states socalled regiments of militia i'm
stead of being 1900 strong as they
should be to meet modern service de-
fnands, number scarcely more than a
battalion or 800 men, and skeleton
companies are everywhere in evidence

OCEAN IS COLD.
Unusual Low Temperatures Noted by
Atlantic Steamers.

New York. June 11.-Observations of
Atlantic steamers arriving recently at
New York are very interesting as show
other eastern coasts are now abnormally
cold.
The steamer Maracaibo reports that
when four miles off Long Branch yester-
day the sea temperature was "a degrees.
On Saturday when the steamer Baltic
was 100 miles east of Sandy Hook her of
ficers noted a sea temperature of "a de-
grees Observations made as late as
Thursday last on the steamer CaIderonia
show that the sea $50 miles east of ST.
Johns, N. F., was well nigh ice cold with
a temperature of "a degrees.
The -resent cold ocean conditions are
due to the unusually frequent passage of
continental barometric pressure from On
tario eastward to Newfoundland. the ba-
rometric effect on the ocean being to
crowd or force the cold waters off New
foundland toward the region of lower
pressure off our Atlantic coasts.
