He thinks the plan would not In

in a few years have among the PEG
pie engaged in peaceful and gainful
occupations 100000 men trained to
the military service. The present au
thorized strength of our army is 100,-
600, but we have actually In the serv-
ice only about $1,000 men, because
congress has refused TO make the ap-
preparations needed.
In the execution Of his scheme, Gen
eral Grant would divide the country
into military districts and require
each district to provide the enlarged
army every year with quota Of re-
cruits to be determined by the mill
tary authorities, based upon popula-
ton.
"As / estimate It, such an increase
IN the size OF the army would not IN
crease its cost 90 per cent. In round
figures the present cost Of the army
is $4,000, 900. The addition of 150.

TAFT FOR MORE PUBLICITY
Approves Treasury Rules Making Re

Available for Public inspection.

Washington Taft struck
an effectual blow in favor OF public
ity OF the affairs Of corporations when
on Friday he approved the rules OF the
secretary OF the treasury under which
all returns made under the corpora
ton tax law shall be available to the
public.
The corporation income tax law was
framed for the purpose of insuring
under heavy penalties including impris-
onment. an accurate yearly return OF
the operations OF all corporations. Fol
lowing this the publicity feature was
added and now the rules under which
this publicity is to be insured have
been framed by Secretary MacVeagh
and approved by the president
These rules will insure publicity as
widespread as any reasonable man
can expect.
II is the belief OF the president that
the regulations mari the final step
toward securing the needed publicity
O. the affairs Of corporations. The
rules will go into effect Immediately.

that II the railroads need additional

through greater efficiency and econ

to the dangerous expedient of raising

NEsTY AND NEW CONCESSIONS
TO RE8ELLioUs SAILORS.
VESSELS PUT OUT TO SEA
Before Decision Is Reached Mutinous
Ships Disappear - City OF Rio
Janelro Resumes Normal Activities
and Excitement Subsidies.

Rio Janeiro.-The mutiny among
the sailors of the Brazilian navy was
ended Friday.
Congress, meeting in extraordinary
session, voted to concede every de-
Inand of the ultimatum presented by
the sailors, including general amnes-
~ for the men who, after numbering
as many Of their superior officers as
was necessary TO place them In com
plete control. trained the guns OF the
warships on the capital
What effect the outcome will have
eventually on the discipline in the
navy is a matter of some concern.
The immediate effect is to give the
sailors increased pay. shorter hours
Of service and less work. through the
recruiting OF additions to the crews.
and to abolish corporal punishment
In the feet
During the debate in congress the
mutinous vessels put TO sea and dis
appeared. Their destination is I'M
known.
Following the action OF congress
the city resumed it's normal activities
and the public excitement subsidized.
The dispatch. which was sent by
the mu..neers BY wireless to Presi-
dent Fonseca. Offering to surrender.
read as follows:
'Repentant OF the action we com
mitted In our defense. and for the
sake Of order, Justice and liberty, we
lay down our arms. trusting that am
nesty will be granted to us. We
will remain obedient 10 your excel
lency, in whom we have all conf
dence."
While the revolt lasted the people
OF the city were kept in a state Of
suspense. fearing that the mutineers
would make good their threat to blow
up the capitol unless their wishes
were met II is doubtful. however,
that they would have taken this step
in any event because Of the likeli-
hood OF complications with Great
Britain.
There Is no attempt 20 give a 20
lltical color to the revolt. as only
petty navy officers participated with
the sailors. but the mutinous ships
constituted a controlling proportion OF
the feet.
