ARMY AND NAVY

animals more than anything else, is
the plan of consolidation in army
posts. This plan is advocated by
General Wood, and { is understood
he will have the backing of major
ity of the house military committee.
1t is believed the senate will hesitate
long while over this measure, and
there is likelihood of the measure go
ing over until after the next presiden-
tial election, at least.
I'm the early days of the nation a
large number of small military posts
were established i'm the west, in the
vicinity of the various tribes of In
dams, for the protection of the set
tiers. They served to protect the
frontier and encourage the settlement
of the great west. Many of these
posts have been retained, and now
quite number of men. The gov
eminent has expended considerable
sums at these posts, and they now
represent an aggregate outlay of sew
eraI million dollars-in substantial
improvements.
The democratic idea is that these
forts, having served their purpose and
outlived their usefulness, should now
be abandoned, and the scattering bod
les of troops they now quarter he
consolidated into a few large posts;
that such consolidation would great
" increase the efficiency of the army
as we'll as permit a much more econ
omical administration.
This consolidation plan will meet
with most vigorous opposition from
the members in whose states these
posts are located, and the livelies
kind of a row may be expected. The
mere suggestion of such plan, with
out naming any of the posts it wa
proposed to abandon, caused a delu%
of protests to come from the west

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Legisla-
ton of more than ordinary interest to
the army, aside from the regular ap-
preparation bill, is proposed for the
present session of congress, and the
progress Of these proposed measures
will be watched with interest. The
house committee is already at work
on the appropriation measure and eX-
poets to have it in shape to be con
sidered among the first Of the big
budgets usually rushed through TIE
Closing hours. Chairman Hay has
laid out an elaborate program in the
way of army bills, and, as these are
largely presented as measures of
economy, it is presumed he will have
the support of the democratic mai.

sisting between our people and foreign
nations. Yet about $34O day has
been necessary to conduct diplomatic
negotiations so delicate that not even
a discreet committee of Congress can
be told about them.
Will Not Tell Uses.
"Nnd more. The act by virtue Of
which the State Department lawfully
makes secret disbursements specifics
distinctly that it is for emergencies
arising in the diplomatic and consular
service. We appropriated $4,000 fo'
the celebration of the discovery OF
Lake Champlain. The state Depart
ment grabbed $4,000 of this and used
it. How? They won't tell. 1t may
have found it's way into the pockets d
some clerk for all that the Congress
making the appropriation knows Ger
tainlv no diplomatic or consular emer
gency could arise from a merely loca
celebration like that of the discovers
| of Lake Champlaln.
Mr.. Hamlin's bill provides that in fu
ture the expenditures Of the secre
fund of the state Department shall be
accounted for to a Joint committee o.
House and Senate, who shall hold i
secret save for such items as in the
Judgment of the committee should mo-
have been paid for out of that fund
This will not please the State Depart
ment. Doing things, and especially
disbursing money, by stealth is one o
the prime pleasures of diplomacy. Mr.
Hamlin may expect strenuous Re
publican fight on this bill-especia'i'
in the Senate. where the practice o
publicity is also regarded with lott
aversion.

ST PETERSBURG, December ii
The Jewish passport question has
awakened only slight public interest
here. The prospect of the abrogation
of the treaty Of 1882 does not seem to
disturb any one. Good relations with
the United States are duly appreciated
and especially as they affect the Far
East. but it is pointed out that Russia
and Germany waged a tariff war in the
nineties, during which they remained
on good terms politically.
The abrogation of the treaty would
affect Russian trade to the extent OF
about $S,OOO,OOO annually, whereas
American trade to four times that
amount would be affected. Abrogation
of the treaty, it is realized, would
strike a more vital blow if, by reason
of this, Russian subjects We're shout
out of America. From the standpoint
of the Russian government the cessa-
ton Of Jewish immigration would be
disagreeable, but the government does
not believe the matter would be press
ed so far
Russia Fears the Jews.
On the other hand, the government
sees a graver peril in the indiscrim-
mate admission of Jews to Russia, as
many of these, it is asserted by gov
eminent officials, are revOlutionists
socialists and anarchists.
Their coming, armed with passports
and with the right to claim Consular
aid, it is said, would endanger public
peace and cause diplomatic friction
and a serious aggrayation of Russo
American relations.
The Jewish question looms so large
in Russia proper that the question o
Russo-American relations takes a sec
ondary place, and finally, it is de
clared Russia can not surrender con
troll over the admission of foreigners
within her borders. These are thu
representative views in government
and other circles, but though not yield
ing on principle, it is believed tina
= Russia would be willing to ameliorat'
conditions in practice under certain
circumstances.
