ARMY'S NEEDS.
Set Forth in Report of the In
spsctor General.
Defects and Irregularities Have
Increased 40 Per Cent.
SERVICE is CRIPPLED.
By the Absence of Officers From
Their Commands.
Suggests an Improvement on
ReOsevelt's Practice Plan.

Washington, Oct 15.-Treating
practically of every branch of the
army, the annual report of Inspector
General E. A. Darlington made public
today, is devoted to careful comment
on conditions, some of which are
criticized and others commended.
Generally speaking, the belief is ex-
pressed that the army is greatly in
need of increase, in the infantry and
field artillery and of reorganization of
the cavalry and the opinion is ad-
vanced that legislation to this end
would no doubt be facilitated by quar-
tering the troops where they would
come closely in contact with the peo-
PIE.
There was an increase of about 40
per cent in defects, Irregularities and
deficiencies reported per post during
the last year. The irregularities and
deficiencies are, however, in the blunt
ly expressed opinion of General Gar
lington, such as may be remedied if
officials would make a reasonable eff
fort to master the regulations and ex-
ercise good common sense.
Forcibly the report presents the
problem of absenteeism of officers
from their commands, there being
general complaint from all directions,
it is said, that the service is more or
less crippled by this practice.
General Darlington declares it
should be determined whether the val
liable services rendered the govern
ment by officers on certain lines of de-
tached duty compensate for the loss
of efficiency in their own organizations
due to their absence and for the dis
content of the officers who have to per-
form the extra duty without extra pay.
In a chapter devoted to the annual
physical tests inaugurated at the in
stance of President Roosevelt, General
Darlington concludes with the obser-
I1of n sob - -1I, Of
ficer to take exercise commensurate
with his duties and age, during the
entire year, as shown by his personal
monthly reports would better accom-
plish the purpose sought by Mr.. Roose
velt's orders than the practice now in
vogue.

THE CAREY ACT

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Delegate Andrews bill to extend the provis- ions of section four of an act en- titled "An act making appropria- tions for sundry civil expenses of the government for the fiscal year ending june 30, 1895, and for other purposes. approved August IS, 1894, to the territories of New Mexico and Arizona; which is commonly known as the "Carey act," and and gives material assistance to ir- gation enterprises, was passed by the house yesterday.
 Chairman Mondell submitted let ters from the secretary of the in terior and the acting secretary of the interior. The secretary says: "Your report amends the bill so that 1t relates to New Mexico only. From my personal Investigations in New Mexico and Arizona I am convinced that there are many opportunities for reclamation under the Carey act and urge that your committee recommend favorab bly, the enactment of a bill extending that act to both the territories. Very truly yours, James Rudolph Garfield"
 Acting Secretary Frank Pierce says: ''In- reply have to state that 1 know of no objection to the passage of the bill extending the provisions of said act to both terri tories. There is probably a great quantity of arid land in the terri tories which may not come within the projects of the reclamatio service, nor be reclaimed by private parties, but which could be selected irrigated, and reclaimed by the territories under the proposed law in large tracts and made to yield some revenue to them by the sale of the land to settlers. The settling of these lands would probably in crease the population of these ter ritories considerably, and the en- hanced value of the land, by the time the patent is secured, would bring a great increase in revenue in the form of taxes"
