Chicago, Aug. IL. The result OF

governor. The Republican nomination
for United States senator is in doubt
between A. ]. Hopkins and George E.

Never since election returns we're
carried by messengers on foot, by

Illinois election as in the one just

GENERAL BELL WANTS,
ARMY CANTEEN RESTORED

Washington, Jan. ALTO definitely
settle certain important questions of
fact relative to the army canteen sys-
tenn and to meet the assertion that the
repeated application of the War De-
partment for the repeal Of the law,
based upon facts, Major General Bell,
chief of star, has caused q careful
study of the matter to be made and
full record prepared with the view
of placing before the Secretary Of War
the reasons why the law should be re-
peaied. This statement forms one OF
the principal chapters in his annual
report.
General Bell reaches this conclusion:
when the canteen was in operation.
there were fewer assertions. fewer
fines and forfeitures imposed by sent
ences of courts martial less alcohol
ism and less venereal disease than prior
to it's establishment. The morals and
discipline of the army have suffered,
though Of course no one should be SO
narrow as to ascribe to the abolition of
the canreen feature all evil effects
observable"
General Bell makes q strong plea
for the creation of a reserve Of $4,000
men under 40 years of age, who have
served one enlistment in the regular
army. He would pay these mon from
ga to s32 per annum, holding them
subject to call and to ten days' train
ing each year.
General Bell also urged an increase
of army pay, for extra officers and en-
largement of the coast artillery and
the medical corps. The report en-
braces a complete plan for the reor-
Ranization of the army so as to permit
mobilization of $1,000 men without de-
nuding every military station.

Old-time Republicans Appeal to Breth-
rem in South Not to Send Any
Instructed Delegations
to Chicago.

Washington, Jan. 2I.-(Special. F.
The address to Southern Republicans
issued by ex-Senators Chandler Of New
Hampshire, and Kellogg of louisiana,
in which they urge their political
brethren in that section not, to send
INSTRUCTED delegations to the Chicago
convention. has caused much comment
here.
The hackers of Secretary Taft gen.
orally regard this move as an attempt
TO prevent his securing as many OF the
Southern delegates as the administra-
tion people had counted upon. 1t also
means they. think, that the other can
didates are going to contest nearly all
of the Southern States hotly with
Taft.
The negroes are urged to come to the
front again and assert themselves in
the face of the fact that the Republic
can referees and Federal oficeholders
years ago showed them aside and in
timated plainly that they must stay
away from meetings and conventions.
Chandler and Kellogg are regarded
as unusually shrewd politicians and
when they get their heads together
something surely is going 70 happen.
Kellogg is in close touch with the old-
time Republicans all over the South Z.
They keep up q lively correspondence
with him and ask his advice freely.
Chandler is also pretty thick with them
and has boon since 1876 well posted as
to what II going on in that section.
The ALBANIA members worked dill
gently today to try to put few dents
in the. penal code bill. agreeing with
