1t is well settled by regulation and prac-
uce that an officer OF the army Is not
entitled to milage in Joining for duty upon
first appointment to the military service
from civil life. j. r. Lincoln OF Des
Moines was appointed a brigadier-senera
or volunteers in 1895 and was ordered TO
report to the fourth army corps at Mobile,
Ala, for duty. He was informed by tho
acknowledgement Of the army that he was
not entitled to milage or transportation for
Joining first station, but. nevertheless. he
filed a claim in February. 1908, for milage.
which has been dissllowed by the auditor
Tor the war department and approved by

The ouartermaster general of the army
is in receipt of samples OF additional arti-
cleF Of heavy furniture, which It is hoped
to purchase out of this years allotment OF
funds for the further equipment of the
quarters Of army officers at all posts. 1t
cannot be known to what extent the rur-
chase Of this material may be made until
the receipt OF the proposals, which will be
shortly invited upon specifications that are
now being prepared. The samples under
consideration are those Of a library chair,
bookcase. chest OF drawers, parlor table,
and hat rack. All of them are of solid
mahogany. The design of the chair suit
able for a sitting room is Of the substan-
tial type, with a leather cushioned seat
The bookcase will be a double affair with
glazed doors. It remaining to be decided
whether the panes will be of large plain
glass or of the small diamond pattern. The
bookcase will be in one piece and not OF
the sectional variety and will be about five
feet high. The chest of drawers will be
fifty-one inches high by three feet six
inches wide and contain five drawers. The
table will be OF what is known as the
library pattern, oblong in shape, with a
shelf below. The exact type OF hat rack
has not been selected, one pattern which
the authorities are inclined to favor being
a mirror, around which are placed the pegs
or hooks. This furniture will be purchased,
or as much of 1t as may be acquired, out
of the appropriation for the present fiscal
year and will go far toward completing the
list Of articles of heavy furniture which,
the War department is purchasing for Off

The War department has no official in
formation concerning the trial Of Lieuten-
ant w. F.. Parkman of the army medical
corps on duty at Fort Missoula, Mont,
information of which incident is impaired
IN the newspaper dispatches from that

tenant Parkman had been confronted with
charges preferred by Captain l.. c. Dun
can OF the regular medical corps. who
IS Also on duty at Fort Missoula. The
allegations were to the effect the Lieuten-
ant Parkma was not qualified for SER
vice. The court-martial for the trial Of the
mdicai reserve officer was evidently or
dered from the department headquarters
ana from what is known at the war

The president has under consideration the
composition of the army court OF inquiry,
&c consist of five officers not below the
grade OF colonel, to determine, under the
Foraker act. the eligibility OF former en-
hsted men of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
VINO were discharged November 9, 1906, on
account OF the Brownsville affray. The
recommendation is to the effect that the
tve officers to be detailed shall be Sc
iected from the retired list, inasmuch as
the duties devolving upon the court are
destined to require much time in the ex-
animation Of testimony and the preparation
OF a report which must be made inside Of a
year. One OF the suggestions is tina the
president of tho court shall be Lieutenant
General John c. Bates, U. s. A. retired,
who lives in Washington, and who is ad-
mlrably fitted in all respects for the task.
Under the terms Of the law, the men who
are restored are to receive, upon re-enlist-
ment. the full pay and allowances they
would receive from the date OF discharge
to the date of re-enlistment The money
value of the ration will also be added on
the basis of its cost 1T the garrison of the
reinstated troopers. 1t remains to be de-
cided how the department shall adjust the
matter OF quarters, but 1t lie presumed that
this will be on the basis Of $2 per month
per man.

THE ORIGINAL RATE OF DIS. COL IT IS RAISED TO 5
 PER CENT.
The Monetary Situation Shows No Material Improvement and Is Further Threatened by
 Depletion.

London, Oct 21.-The Bank of Eng land today raised it's minimum rate of discount another full point to 5 per cent, the highest the rate has stood since the American furry of 1907.
 This is the third consecutive week that the directors of the bank have considered it necessary to strengthen the barriers against a further leakage of gold reserves. The international monetary position shows no material Improvement during the last week and the banks reserve, which is now nearing sl10,OO0.O0O, was threatened with a further depletion this week by South American and Egyptian require ments estimated at $7.500,000
 Foreign exchanges have been stead fly against London, particularly Der. lin, where gold is badly needed, and where the next arrival of the metal would probably have gone but for the depression of the per cent rate.

that he ever has in the history Of the country, and therefore everyone who is looking forward to making de- cent living is considering the ques. ticn whether he has in him the ele. ments of a good farmer, for there is no doubt that, taken as a claEs, the farmers are the most contented, the best situated, have the best homes and the best prospects of any class in the community.
 The high price of agriculture and the profits of farming have attracted attention to the development of these fields that were supposed at one time to be useful only for cattle ranching and now you are bound to make this whole southeast Texas the garden spot of the entire state.

 "I am glad to see that the largest building in the town of Taft is the school house and where the school house is the most important building you can be very certain of several things. One is that there is no race suicide where they need so large a school house, and the second is they are looking forward to the education of their children in order that they may become good men and women and become good citizens.
 "The school house is the basis of our civilization and it is most grati- flying to see that Taft is keeping up with the procession in that regard and has room enough to teach all the chil- dren that can be born under the fav- orable skies of southern Texas.
 My friend, Mir. Green, tells me that unlike a good many other towns in Texas, received all the votes there were in the town of Taft want to return my thanks to my fellow citi- zens who were willing the break the Texas record and bring in one little eve lamb.
 q thank you sincerely and I wish each and every one of you all the prosperity that you deserve and could not put Tn it in a stronger way.

Berlin Surprised.

Berlin, Oct 21.-The action of the Bank of England in raising its dis count rate today tock Berlin complete ly by surprise. FInanciers, in dis cussing the increased rate, assign American speculation as the chief cause. Nothing can be ascertained tonight regarding the London report of Geiman demand for gold This, however, is discredted and the finan. eial newspapers apparently are not aware of it.
 A steady rise in the English check rate in the past few days has already raised the fear that the gold export point will be reached soon.

In the meantime it is under stood that in the opinion of the man. agers of the Imperial German Bank no occasion exists for further ad- vance now The recovery movement this week is progressing gatisfactor. fly.
