THE ARMY OF INDIA.
England Controls the Country with
Small but Valuable Force.

England Controls the Country with
Small but Valuable Force.
From the Boston Transcript.
John Bulls hold upon India is the
wonder OF colonial governments. He
has combination OF the most turbu-
lent and most peaceful peoples on earth.
writes Frank g. Carpenter from Cal
cutta He has some whose religion
teaches them il is their duty and bust
ness TO fight and plumber their fellows;
and millions who have feuds with each
other and who would fight 10 the death
did they not fear the strong arm Of the
british.
Nevertheless. he controls the country
with a military force which averages
much less than one soldier 10 each thous-
and people. India has altogether 10000 600.
and the total army, including both British
and natives, is only 236000. This is scat
tered all over the peninsula. There are
eight divisions Ia the north. large part
OF which guard the frontier, and there
are four divisions in the south, as well
as the troops in Burma and a garrison
at Alden, Arabia.
The army, all told. would be small.
even if the country were homogeneous
and peaceful. II is nothing in COM
parison with the great forces winch are
forming in Europe and in the far East.
II India had as many soldiers as Japan
has on a peace footing its army would
number 1900 600. and If on a war footing
/ il would be more than l2,@0000. The
I Germans have ! per cent of their
whole population under arms, and in
! times of war they could put . per cent of
/ il into the field. At the same ratio India
could have 1500.0oO under arms in the
great wars OF the future and the only
power that might possibly surpass her IN
numbers would be China, who at the
| same rate could muster, perhaps, 5,0o,oe
more.
1 The officers say that the army is the
! best paying asset in John Bulls schedule
/ OF East Indian investments. II is kept
up without taxing the people at home
and ii gives him a big fighting force
which ne can shift 10 any part Of the
world upon order He used IL against the
! Beers and also in China at the time Of
the Boxer rebellion.
/ In case of an Asiatic war of any de-
| scription II would be invaluable 70 him,
and upon the whole it makes India worth
! far more than Z costs. This IS especially
/ so. as the Hindus pay the total expenses
/ of the military supplies and of the sol
diers. The cost amounts 10 something
/ like 500, 10000 a year but this is all
| raised by the taxation of Hindustan.
! The army is not eXtravagantly kept
/ from a Western standpoint The native
! soldiers receive something like two OF
/ three dollars per month, which Is good
pay for their part of the world. More
4 over. those who remain in the service for
I a fixed length of time are retired on a
/ pension of cents a day and, therefore
/ can luxuriate for the rest Of their lives

PENNSYLVANIA fEDERAT'N
ADVISES IN favor Of AN
ENORMOUS NATL STRIKE

New Castle, Pa, Mar. 9.-Follow-
ing the stirring meeting today of the
PENNSYLVANIA State Federation of La
Dor, at which resolutions were adopt
ed asking that the American Fedora
ton of Labor call National-wide
strike, coresnviavet shrdl shrdl hrd
strike, conservative delegates tonight
expressed fear that the meeting was
too precipitate in it's action and some
are openly charging that the conven-
ton was stampeded by w. D. Mahon,
president of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees.
Mr.. Manon aroused the delegates
to a high pitch of enthusiasm and
when the resolution that had been
prepared by the committee of ten in
Philadelphia, was presented, it was
carried unanimously.
President Greenawalt, of the feder-
alton appointed a committee Of nine
to confer with the Philadelphia COM
mittee Of ten as to when the strike
should be inaugurated in other cities.
Delegates that are averse to a
spread of the strike object on the
grounds that the present is a poor
time to engage in an industrial war
to such an extent and it is regarded
as uncertain that all organized labor
will answer the call for general
strike.

Affidavit Made BY CLAWS While He

Case - Planned Operation On
"Friendly Baeis."
;Bv Associated Press.)

Cleveland, Mar. 9.-That combi-
nation with the Guggenheim inter
ests was considered by the thirty
three claimants to Alaska coal lands
in the so-callei Cunningham group
was admitted today before United
States Commissioner VIM. J. McGee,
by w. H. Warner, one of the entrants.
Planned a Combination.
Mr.. Warner declared that at a
meeting of the claimants at Spokane
in 1907, to which he sent proxy,
there had been discussion as to
the advisability of combination,
but that he had understood that the
matter was dropped.
The evidence was given at the
opening of an inquiry here into the
claims of four Of the original thirty
three claimants.
Mr.. Warner and Hugh B. Wick OF
Youngstown, another claimant, both
testified that they had known per-
sonally most of the thirty-three who
had filed claims and that it had been
understood they would operate on a
friendly basis.
CLAWS Affidavit An Exhibit.
One of the exhibits offered in evil
dence by the government was an af-
fidavit which had been prepared by
L. R. CLAWS, while he was still agent
for the land office, and which was
signed by the claimants. This afti-
davit admitted that the claimants
were acquainted with each other,
but Mr.. Warner asserted that he had
signed it in ignorance that it would
be used against him to invalidate his
claim

day and it's consideration until passed
cannot be interferred with except by
appropriation bills. After the first
reading had been concluded, a num-
ber of bills were passed, including
one to establish court of patent ap'
peals and one authorizing the con
struction of $12,000,000 building in
Washington for the use of the depart
ments of state, justice and COM
merce and labor.
House Passed Local Bills.
The house passed several measures
of local Importance and sustained a
point of order by which the bill for
construction of embassy buildings In
foreign capitals will not be permit
ted again to come before the house
during this session.
Railroad Bill Amended.
Tke administration railroad bill
was amended in one important par
ticular by the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce
when by vote Of nine to seven the
committee voted to substitute the
interstate commerce commission for
the proposed court Of commerce as
the tribunal designated to receive
petitions or applications of railroads
desiring to acquire interests in other
railroads.
Democrats for Substitute.
Tie six democrats on the commit
tee voted for the substitute and
we're joined by Chairman Mann and
two other republican members.
Representatives Esch and Wagner
we're absent, but their votes could
have no greater effect than to cause
a tie.
AS this section provided one of the
chief duties of court Of commerce, 1t
is expected that the administration
will use vigorous efforts to have to-
days vote reconsidered in commit
tee and the action rescinded.
