Especial Correspondence

Washington, April 90. - One of the
most interesting propositions put into
| the army bill in the senate is the Hard
wick amendment, looking to the train
! ing Of cadets in the high schools and
colleges of the country and putting
them into the reserve OF the United
States army. y
This amendment, which passed the
spite the opposition of the senate mill
tary committee, will in all probability
remain in the bill when it goes to the
statute books. -.
1t provides that the war department
shall detail one or more commissioned
officers as instructors to schools and
colleges having a male student enroll
ment of 100 pupils or over who are
above Is years of age. Such detail
is to be made at the request of the
school authorities. Military instruction
Is to be given to the youth Of such
schools with the consent Of their par
ents and they are to enter into re-
serve force which will be subject to
call into service in time of war or
threatened war. No pupil under Is
will be subject to call.
The Hardwick amendment was
adopted after much debate. In its orig
inal form it would have applied to
schools having fifty male students or
over above Is. In the form in which it
was passed. many of the smaller high
schools will not be able to avail them
selves Of it's provisions, unless 1t
should be modified in conference.
School For Officers.
It is the belief Of many Of the sena-
tors who supported this amendment
that it will be of value in training
young men in such fashion that they
would form valuable material for nom
commissioned officers and officers in
case Of war.
That the amendment Is going to
cause fine series Of rows among
school authorities and particularly In
school boards IS apparent. The reason
for this is that the opponents OF train
ing and believers in preparedness will
urge school boards~of schools of suffi-
cient size TO ask for detail OF an onl-
Ger of the army. The paeifists will
hght this. win HdlA al eJ~' oHe S"h
see a series of miniature wars raging
in many localities .,'.7 < q -
Under the amendment, the student
taking training would enlist only for
the period while at college. He would
be In the reserve thru that period and
no longer In no, case would enlist
ment for less than twelve months be
allowed. Students would not be subject
to active military service except in
connection with their training and ex-
cept in connection with such mobiliza-
ton as might be had in school vaca-
tons. for which service they would re-
ceive pay Of corresponding grades In
the regular army. The war department
would furnish arms and equipment and
the secretary of war would make regu-
lations necessary to carry out the plan.

ferry boat at New York on Feb. IS. was
arrested here last evening. The arrest
was piece of good luck by the postal
authorities. Quigley was seized on sus-
picion of being wanted in st. Louis for
raising money orders. Quigley fought
against arrest and tried to get a load
ed pistol from his pocket. but was
overpowered.
When told to open his grip, Quigley
protested and said he could not be
made to give it up. It contained a
large bundle with old newspapers for
wrapping. Inside were found GER

BRYAN AssAlLs WILSON.
Reaches Washington to Assist
Ayertinq Break With Germany. !

Washington. April Ell do not be-
lieye our congress would declare war
against Germany for any cause that
has arisen so far. %..aa hi. g.. =
81 take it for granted, however, II
the question arises that congress will
act as independently OF the president
in the discharge of its duties as the
president acted towards congress In
the discharge of his constitutional pre-
roga tiyes-in other words. that Mr..
Wilson will be as little inclined to en-
barrass congress as congress was to
embarrass him. ..s:
1T would not only be a calamity, but
crime for President Wilson to force
this country into war with Germany
at this time" - -
william J. Bryan, former secretary
Of state, made the statement last eve
ming. He lis in Washington for the
sole purpose Of using every resource
at his command not only to prevent
war with Germany but to prevent
President Wilson from breaking off
diplomatic relations.
Holds Wilson's Course Wrong.
How intensely MFR. Bryan feels on
the present question OF war or peace
with Germany no one but an intimate
friend can imagine.
He thinks the president has been
absolutely wrong in his course from
the beginning.
He thinks il the presidents course is
not changed only war can result.
He thinks il Mr.. Wilson declines 70
change his course voluntarily the peo-
pie and the congress should not hest
tate to humiliate him before the world
to prevent a war with Germany.
Mr.. Bryan is prepared to go to the
White House to make one last plea to
Mr.. Wilson to change his course and
exert himself to keep the country out
OF war.
This is no time to break or diplo-
matte relations" he said. This is the
time, It Is far past the time, when the
i United States should make an earnest
effort to end the war. Do you realize
| that the United States has not made
single effort to bring about peace IN
EmOre than twenty months? And now
the papers say the president and his
advisers believe break inevitable. !
do not say the president believes that.
I I don't know what he sleeves Ne
merely repeat what the papers say.

States and thereby avoid any danger,

CHICAGO Horse Market.

Chicago, April 21.--Horse arrivals
continue small at the local market
Last week liquidation from country
points was among the largest OF the
year. while this week supplies are run
ming about in line with year ago, anu
rather light II anything. The country
is busy at present engaged in seeding.
and it is thought to be the reason Tor
the moderate offerings. The demand
this week was greatly improved over
last week and the better call caused
all grades of horses to sell with fair
action Horses that could not make
clearance last week are now moving
and the trade looks quite healthy.
There was a liberal number Of army
horses left from the run last week. but
they are all making clearance this
week. Inspectors are given chance 10
catch up with the run as 1t fell down.
During the first four days of the week
there have been about 200 horses re-
ceived at Chicago, against 1857 for the
same days last week, 1887 year ago
and 900 for same days two years ago.
Shipments this week have greatly ex-
ceeded the receipts because many army
horses that have been on hand for many
days past are being sent coastward to
be loaded for foreign soil. Quotations:

Chicago, April 22.-Uncertainties OF

The bearish nature of the Kansas crop

also against the bulls.
Provisions.
Higher prices for hogs gave strength
