Spectacle to Be Unique.

Washington is to be treated to a unique
spectacle next week, when the 1900 cav
alrymen show what they have learned Of
the new system Of cavalry drill and or
ganization.
| These cavalrymen, forming a brigade
composed Of the 10th. 18th and 18th
Regiments. will have great interest not
only for army officers and military at
| taches. but for the general public, who,
| in the United States. at least, have never
seen anything like the movements they
propose to demonstrate.
They will drill and throw out long lines
! of foragers, disappear and reappear, as
senble to assume formation for attack
! and make every change of order, pace or
direction without audible command OF
voice or bugle. They will move upon the
follow your leader" principle, with sig
| mails by hand and arm only.
/ For three months they have been study
United States Cavalry. as at present con-
stituted, is organized supposedly as re-
suit of our experiences during the civil
war. There is wide difference of opin-
| ion among army officers as to whether
this organization is a proper one or not.
Many officers feel that we learned all
! that could be learned about our particular
| kind of cavalry and our kind of country
during the civil war, and that we de-
veloped our cavalry to a higher degree
| than any other country had ever de-
yelOped It before.

To Be Here for q Week.

Washington will have an opportunity 70
see it. The brigade, constituting the
largest body OF cavalry ever gathered in
the United States since the civil war, will
be here for a week, as the War Depart
ment desires to give the troopers little
recreation after their hard work and that
will come with the opportunity to see
the sights of the capital. The visiting
soldiers will be encamped at Fort Myer.
Under the system that has been worked
out by the board. it IL said by an army
officer familiar with the details. the double

Indian Condition Organization.

| Another group Of army officers feels
that instead Of our having gained by our
civil war experience in the use Of cavalry
our reorganization in the 70s, to take
care Of Indian conditions. really placed
us on a poor footing with other coun-
| tries. The open, elastic formation that
came about as consequence OF Indian
conditions, they say. has brought up IN
recent years big problem.
| This problem Is the possibility of the
United States being some. day obliged to
use cavalry to fight a first-class power, OF
going into a grapple with a European
power really ready for war. To do that,
these army officers declare, we must be
able to handle our cavalry In large
bodies-in regiments and brigades.
Both sides to the controversy say that
the United States Cavalry as at present
organized is all right for minor cam
paigns, for use In the Philippines and
in such campaigns as we might have
in Mexico if we ever become involved
with the latter country. But 1t is de-
clared that II we got Into trouble with
a big European power we would have
to be able to handle large bodies Of
cavalry without shouting commands,
without sounding trumpets and generally
without making tremendous lot OF noise
and uproar. In other words, the United
States Cavalry. as 1t IL organized now.
is said to be all right for dismounted
action and all right for reconnaissance
work. but 1t is a question whether this
cavalry could fight cavalry.

| under special instruction the past three
| months.
The review will take place next
Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock on the
White Lot ellfpse in rear OF the White
House. and in the reviewing party will
be the Secretary Of War. the chief of

1t was announced at the War Depart

has been set aside at the base ball
grounds here as Army day" as a spe-
cial compliment to the brigade Of cav
airy now on the way here. Any officer
| or enlisted man in army uniform will
be admitted to the base ball grounds

Arrive Here Tomorrow.
| The soldiers are to arrive here tomor-
row. Plans are on foot this afternoon
at the War Department for a parade OF
the regiments through the streets of
Washington tomorrow, on their arrival,
to give the residents of the capital q
chance to see the troopers, who consti-
tute the largest body of cavalry ever as
sembled since the civil war 1t is possi-
bic that when the troopers reach the
Chain bridge they will march into WASH
ington before going to their quarters at
Fort Myer, where the soldiers who are
to visit Washington for q week are to
establish camp.
Four troops of the 18th Cavalry. and

Disagreeing Opinions.

Under disagreeing opinions as to this
problem, the War Department consulted
all the cavalry officers in the service In
this country and the Philippines. with the
result that a board to study and investi-
gate and report was appointed year and
a half ago. The cavalry officers In the
service recommended who should sit on
the board. and its members are in fact
chosen by the officers.
This board consists OF Gen. ID. j. Nc
Clernand, L. g. A., retired: Col. Cunlin II.
Murray. Lieut. Col. F. S. Foltz. Lieut.
Col. Joseph T. Dickman and Maj. j. Mel.
Carter. These officers we're sent abroad
to see what other armies do with their
cavalry They spent six months In Eu-
rope and drew up q report, after month
of work. recommending q tentative sys-
tenn of organization and drill for the
United States Cavalry. based on our own
experience in the civil war and what
they saw abroad.
1t was not the idea In any way to be-
little what was learned during the civil
war, but 1t was thought necessary to ar
rive at a method of SO training the United
States Cavalry that 1t might be ready at
any time to tight the first-class cavalry OF
European poWer-a contingency. a.
army officers express 1t, remote. but dan
gerous. The results have been worked
out at Winchester during the past three
months, and the general stan OF the army
is to see what the brigade that was
gathered there can do before the report
of the board Is acted upon by the chief OF

AMBfS. WILSON RESIGNS.

Washington. Aug. 4.-Secretary Bry-

Secretary Bryan made the follow
ing statement:
Ambassador Wilson's resignation
has been accepted to take effect. Oct
II. The part he felt it his duty to take
in the earlier stages of the recent rev.
olution in Mexico would make it diff
ficult for him to represent the views
of the present administration in view
of the situation which now exists.

practice is entitled to so days leave eX-

Who Led the Assault Upon Il.
A Matter for Voters Of the Third
District to Consider.

Waterville. Me, Aug. 4.-(SpeciaD.-
The Republican platform, last fall, con-
tanned the following plank:
I'VE favor a non-partisan Public
Service Commission to protect tie
rights of the people, at the same time
fair 10 invested capital"
The Republican Legislature began
consideration of this important 1egis-
lation some weeks before the Legisla-
ture met and organized. Discussion of
how best to take up the work Of draft
ing the bill was begun the first day of
the session and finally the Judiciary
and legal affairs committees Were join
ed in a special committee for TIE pdr-
pose. This special joint committee held
hearings and worked diligently on the
bill until late in the session. Finally
it was reported and given considera-
tor, in committee of the whole, in the
Senate and in the House. In marked
contrast with the manner in which the
Democracy of Washington has drafted
its free trade tariff bill, everyone who
desired to do So was given an oppor-
tunity to present his ideas. Finally the
bill was passed to be enacted and sign
ed by the Governor without even a roll
cali in either branch, the Democrats
not caring to go on record as opposing
the bill.
After the Legislature closed, however,
group of men, led by w. II. Pattan-
gall and Kingsbury b. Piper, invoked
the referendum clause in the Constitu-
ton u suspend the act. The word was
passed around that it would he good
politics to kill the bill. from a Demo-
cratic standpoint, as it was the prin-
eipal piece of constructive legislation
passed by the Republicans.
This was resented by many Demo-
Gratis of standing, but, by hiring solic-
itors, the necessary number of names
was secured and the measure VIII not
be availabl for the benefit of the pee-
p,e until they have given 1t the stamp
of their approval at the polls more than
a year hence. Friends of the bill claim
that this disposition to tear down eV-
erything of a progressive and construc-
tive nature built up by the Repubil-
cans is characteristic of the Democrat
ic headers and can be depended upon
to dominate the actions of the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in case
he is elected.

PRELIMINARY STEPS.

Washington, Aug. 4.-President VIII
son, today took the first steps in the
policy through which he proposes To
deal with the Mexican situation, lie
formally accepted the resignation OF
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, to
take effect, on oct Ia, and sent to
Mexico city as his personal represen-
tatiVe-but not accredited to the
Huerta overnment-Former Governor
John Lind of Minnesota, a lifelong
friend of Secretary Bryan. The under
standing is that when a stable gov
ernment is established in Mexico Mr..
Lind will he formally named as am
bassador. President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan had frequent conferences,
during the day; Ambassador Wilson
had a long talk with Mr.. Bryan and
Chairman Bacon of the Senate for
eign relations committee discussed the
situation with the President at the
White House. But except for the an
nouncement of Mr.. Lind's mission, no
explanation of the policy to be pur-
sued by the American government was
forthcoming. The statement from Sec
retary Bryan read:
'Ex-G Gov John Lind of Minnesota,
has been sent to Mexico as the per
sonal representative of the President
to act as adviser to the embassy i'll

ident is ready to communicate with
the Mexican authorities as TO the res
toration of peace he will make public
his views. Gov. and Mrs. Lind de-
parted for Mexico, tonight, by rail to
proceed via New orleans or Calves

1t became known that a further an"
nouncement would be made by Presi-
dent Wilson in a few days, possibly on
the arrival of Mr.. Lind in Mexico

Companies Statements.
The express companies had filed
statements indicating that the losses
of revenue under the proposed rates
would be intolerable and argued
strenuously that the establishment of
the parcel post had deprived them of
quite 30 per cent. of the revenue they
formerly received from parcels of II
pounds or less They contended that
the express business could not sur

This is equivalent to saying COM
ments Commissioner Marble, in his
report, that inasmuch as shippers
have been given the convenience and
economy of the parcel post the express

a sinplification of existing rate struc-

of rate experts lays the foundations
for future practice in all rate revisions.
While the commission has not con-
