SUBSIDIZED SHIPS INSTEAD OF TRANSPORTS Would Benefit the Service and Vastly Improve Malla=Great Need of Pacific Cable—~Medala Should Be Hu WASHINGTON, Oct. The annual re- port of Major General Henry C. Corbin, adjutant general of the army, compreben- sively reviews the work, condition und needs of the military establishment. General Cor- bin submits a table to show that the army in the Philippines is to be reduced pired enlistments at the rate of 2,000 a month from now until Jupe, 1902, The question whether the regiments thus depleted fn strength are to remain so, or be recruited to thelr full register, he says, 18 one requiring the earliest consideration, for if the latter is contemplated It s al- ready time to begin special recruiting. The losses from all causes ‘n the regular army and the voluntcers from July 1, , to June 30 last, totaled 16,924 officers and men in the former and 8,191 in the latter. The casunlties to the troops in the Philippines since the date of the first arrival, June 30, 1898, to June 30 last, were 116 officers and 8,378 men killed and 152 officers and 2,646 men wounded, General Corbin dwells at some length on the subject of the volunteer army in the Philippines and calls attention to the promptness and dispatch with which these regiments were brought home and mus- tered out, General Corbin invites special attention 0 the remarks of Colonel Mills, superin- tendent of the West Point Milltary academy, on the improved discipline and condition of the cadet corps. It is safe to predict, says General Corbin, that hazing of a brutal nature is a thing of the past. General Corbin recommends that the cadets of each graduating class be sent to Fort Monroe for practice and Instruction iu seacoast gunnery. Training the OMce He devotes special attention to the ques- tion of the instruction of the army. He ibelieves that the system of training for the ofcers should begin with elementary tech- 'mical Instruction at h post and ter- * minate in the higher training which would be provided at a war college, the speedy janization of which he considers most desirable. The generl” SAYN “that it has been reported to him that retired army ofcers, detalled at full pay military in- structors, in some instances do not even live at the colleges and only occasionally visit them. This state of affairs, he says, should be corrected. General Corbln recommends that the old law requiring that each eandidate from the ranks for a commission In the army be a “noncommissioned officer in good standing ‘who has displayed an aptitude for command and control of men,” be revived. While a great many excellent young men have come Into the service as officers under the present law, which opens the way for commissions to enlisted men who have had two years service, General Corbin says there have been numbers of others who have entered the army ae officers in this way who are not up to the requirements of thelr rank. General Corblu's recent tour of the Phil fppines and his brief visit to Japan and eastern China bear fruit in some interest- ng suggestion Disadva ports. Jeneral Corbin belleves that the army transport service on the Pacifie 1s costing the goverument more than the use of com- mercial steamship lines, for the latter would have the advantage, denied to the government, of transporting passengers, freight and malls to the Orient, both on out- ward and homeward voyages, and would meet the needs for increasing American trade In the Orlent. He therefore sug- gets that congress with safoty could offer inducements to United States shippers to inatall a line of steamers under charters that would permit them, in time of neces- sity, to serve as reserve army and navy transports. By this, says General Corbin, the government intergsts would he far more economically and just as effectively administered. 1t would bo particularly bemeficlal to the mail service, he continues, which has been very unsatisfactory to the military and olvil government in the Philippines ever since the occupation of the islands. Cable Needed. An equally fmportant need of the service, General Corbin says, is a domestic cable from the Pacific coast to the Philippines. The present cable communication through Furope, Asia, China and Japan, he says, for obvious reasons, should be discontinued at the earliest possible date. The rates charged by the existing cable service are exorbitant, $12.26 4 word being the regu- Iar tariff on messages between Washington and Manila. This excessive rate, he de- clares, practieally prohibits any really ef- ficient service, and the cipher code of the War department has had to be adjusted to cope with the high rates He urges that more comfortable quar- ters for the troops in the Philippines be provided as soon as possible and that an appropriation he made for the erectiop of storehouses In and about Manila, where the government now pays $300,000 annually for the use of rented bulldings. Tt the suggestions are adopted, he says, the cost of maintaining the army in the Philippines will be scarcely more than if the troons were on home stations. He suggests the need of many changes in the uniforms of officers and urges that the matter haye the early consideration of & competent board. During the recent milj- tary operations in China the good name and discipline of General Chaffee's armv several times called into question by rowdyism of non-combatants dress»d ally fu the uniform of a soldier. Gen- eral Corbin therefore urges that farriers, teamsters and the like should have uniforms different from the regulgrly enlisted soldior He also says that officers tn active service should be provided servanis, enlisted us 18 Pac (Conmn:oc.vn Second Page.) French Premie Anawer (o Thele Avpeal %o Indefinite That U affection Intensifies. The premier, M. Wal- deck-Rousseau, has replied to the seoretary of the Miners' federation regarding the Rovernment's intention toward the Gemands of the miners for an eight-hour day, a minimum wage and a pension of 2 france a day after twenty-five years' work. The minera have threatened to strike on No- vember 1 if their requests are not granted The premier saye the government canr 4, pronounce a decision on the eight hou Question until the parliamentary commis- sion hus made its report, while respecting penstons he recalls that the Chamber of Deputies will discuss, during the coming sesslon, a general bill providing for work- men’'s pensions. As to the minimum wage the premier says this is a matter which should be freely arranged between the workmen and their employers, This reply cannot be considered very satisfactory to the men, whose commitiee will meet Sunday and resolve whether strike or not. The distribution of arms among the miners has assumed a graver aspect lately. It is asserted that 10,000 rifles from which the rifiing has been re- moved in order te avoid their seizure as military weapons are now in the hands of the unicnists. These rifles, however, are capable of sight shooting up to 150 yards and are dangerous up to 300 yards, which 1s all that is required for street and bar- ricade fighting, which tactics the strikers will adopt in the event of riots. The government has realized the serious- ness of the situation and announces on the declaration of a strike all these rifles will be immediately seized under the law au- thorizing such steps in cake of urgency Morcover, extensive military preparations bave been completed for drafting large bodies of troops into the coal flelds to pro- tect the non-strikers. Strong hopes re- main that the miners will recognize the folly of going out on strike at the present time and that they will either renounce or Aadjourn the execution of the project. DISS DE BAR GROWS DRAMATIC PARIS, Oct. 18~ 0 livens Last Trial Day Journment with Outburst in Defenne of Reputation, LONDON, Oct. 18.—Today's feature in the trial of Theodore Jackson and Laura Jack- son (Ann Odella Diss De Bar) on charges of fmmorality and fraud was the shrewdness the woman defendant displayed in cross-ex- amining witnesses. She was theatrical and became so violent once that it seemed she would have to be removed from the court. This outbreak was caused by the imputa- tion of a witness regarding the chastity of Mrs. Jackson. The examination of the mother of Daisy Adams, one of the alleged victims of the Jacksons, developed the presence at Brigh- ton of a sect of Christian spiritualists as remarkable in its way as the Theocratic unity. The officers were entitled King Solo- mon, Empress of the Universe and King Beriacha. Mrs. Jackson used this sect to secure introductions to her victim After a girl named Laura Faulkner testi- fled to Jackson's attempts at assault the case was adjourned until November 7. when another week or more will probably be taken up with the police court testimony. Mrs, Jackson remarked upon hearing that she and her husband were remanded: ““That suits us precisely.” The crowd present hissed the pair heartily as they were led out of the courtroom. Crowds of people outsids the police court waited patfently but in vain for a chance of hooting the prisoners. The police are tak- ing special precautions. The Jacksons will spend the interim in Hollaway fall The Daily Mail announces that it will discontinue publishing reports of the Jack- #on case and expresses regret that the law does not empower a maglistrate to exclude the public and reporters from such un- savory trials. CONFEREES IN MEXICO CITY Delegates to International Confab of | Ame Arrive ut our, an Republie Unexpected MEXICO CITY, Oct. 18.—The American, Central American and South American dele- Rates to the International conference of American states arrived in this city this evening. Owing to the fact that the arrival of the special train had twice been erron- eously announced there was a small crowd on the platform to meet the delegates.

It wis decided to hold the convention at Washington, beginning November 19, The convention will probably last three days President Theodore C. Search of the Na- tional Association of Manufacturers pre- sided at the meeting, which was attended by thirty prominent manufacturers, Mr. Search addressed the commitice at some length, referring to the widespread inter- est in the proposed convention and em phasized the necessity of devoting itself to purposes other than those ofiginally in- tended. He made it very clear at the start that it was not to be a promiseuous or dis organized mass meeting, but a thorough organized convention of properly author- ized delegates, representing the manufac- turers of the country There then was a discussion of the mat- ters before the convention, at the conclu- | sicn of which the call was adopted by the committee and will be sent broadcast over the country The sole purpose of the conference as planned is to discuss the expediency and practicability of the broader application of the principle of commercial reciprocity as a means of expanding forelgn markets for American products without sacrificing the interests of any American industries. The objact of the convention will bo to ascer- tain accurately the views of representative manufacturers on this subject and to for- mulate, if possible, some practical sugges- tions for such legislation or diplomatie ne- kotiation as may be necessary to establish more intimate commercial relations between the United States and other nations. The rules which accompany the call pro- vide that organizations with a membership of 103 or less shall be entitled to appoint five delegates and five alternates. For each additional 100 members up to 500 one addi- tional delegate may be appointed. Organi- zations having over 500 members may ap- point ten delegates and ten alternates. Only those actively engaged as principals or executive officers in a manufacturing firm or corporation shall be eligible as dele- gates. Agents, attorneys or those engaged in purely mercantile or professional pursuits will not be recognized as delegates or al- ternates. The committee did not decide just what organizations should appoint delegations, but after consideration of a list prepared for this purpose the entire matter was re- ferred to the officers of the assoclation. The National Association of Manufacturers will be ropresented In the convention by its general officers and vice presidents and delegates to be named from each state on the basis of membership of the associa- tion in those states in the same manner as specified for the appointment of dele- gates by political organizations. A committee on credentials for the as- sociation was appointed as follows: W. L. Saunders, New York; Albert Lalalow, Cin- cinnati; Ellison A. Smythe, Pelzy 8. €. P. 8.

It was decided not to prepare a form of program until after the receipt of notice from those who intend to present formal papers at the convention. It is expected that there will be a very large gathering of manufacturers in Washington at the convention, and some members of the committee estimated today that there would be an attendanace of not less than 1,000 actual manufacturers.

TOLEDO, 0., Oct. 18.—The Polish Na- tional society today took up the questioo | of immigration and decided to appoint a committee, which will perform two duties for the betterment of Polish immigrants. | This tommittee will discuss ways and means to induce the Polish people to depopulate the thickly settled parts of large oitles and go to the farms. The commitiee de- clded that as the chief lndustry of Poland is farmirg, the Polish people in America are better fitted for that vocation than any other.

The decision is a result of the opening of Aspen tunnel on the Uniou Pacific road, the open ng marking the conclusion of i{mpra - nients made by that company on its moun- tain line and costing over $12,000,000. The completion of the work makes possible better time over nearly 600 miles of Union Pacific track. The remainder of the line is fast, being ballasted with Sherman hill | gravel, which permits of moviog heavy trains at a high rate of speed with perfect | satety. In addition, the Northwestern road has about completed its reballastiog and double trackage between Chicago and Council Blufts. The possibilities in the way of speed over the Northwestern were recently shown when the Morgan special made the dis- tance In nine hours, beating the regular time of the limited nearly six hours. The Morgan special showed what could be done in the way of time reduction, but it was thought best to walt until the Southern Pacific completes its cutoffs and other im provements, when material time reductions are to be made.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Oet. 18—=(Special Telegram.)—The new Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway company, which was in- corporated in this city Thursday, was fully organized at a meeting this afternoon. These officers were elected: President, W. W. Baldwin of Burlington; vice president and treasurer, J. C. Peasley of Chicags secretary, H. E.

The articles of incorporation provide that the affairs of the company shall be con- Aucted by a board of five directors, which #hall be elected at a meeting held at the office of the company in Burlington on the first Wednesday in November. WHAT THE NEW DEAL SIGNIFIES of the Burl pany a Bit of Harriman Financierin, The mew Burlington Railway company is not a scheme to consolidate all the Hill roads or place them In control of one com- pany. It is the same kind of financial engineering indulged in by E. H. Harri- man when he secured control of the Chicago & Alton. He first doubled the stock of the old company, which represented about the wmount he paid for the road. He then or- nized the Chicago & Alton Rallway com- pany, which ixsued another $40,000,000 of stock—all of it pure water—and this com pany leased the Chicago & Alton railroad, guaranteeing & per cent dividends on the latter stock before any dividends ean be pald on the stock of the rallway company. All the stock of the rallroad company is held by the Harriman syndicate, while the stock of the railway company s on the market. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rall- way company intends to lease all the roads in the Burlington system and guarantee the 8 per cent interest on the stock bought by J. J. Hill at $200 per share before any dividend can be paid on the $100,000,000 of the stock the new railway company pro- poses to issue. Of course if the Burlington railway fails to carn the amount guaranteed by Hill to the old Burlington stockholders the Great Northern and Northern Pacific will have to make good the deficiency ARE WAITING FOR MORGAN Northe President and Other Rallrond OM TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 18.—C. 8.

The romalnder of the company arrived on the scene in time to prevent further slaughter and routed the enemy, killing over 100 of them. It is be lieved that the enemy only retired for r inforcements.

WASHI TON., Oct. 18.<~The following [ brief cablegram from General Chaffes re- porting the fight of the Ninth Infantry in Samar Wednesday was received at the War department this afternoon MANILA, Oct. 18, Cort Washington For E, Ninth regiment, Ninth 1 Infantry, und First Lieute W. Wallice, in fleld, lower Can, was attacked by 40 bolom, Our loss, ten killed, six wounded, names not recelved, Bighty-one enemy Ieft dead on the field, beaten off. The Ninth infantry, which suffered there, was the same organization that engaged in the latest fight at Bangajon, though in this case the company attacked is not known. An inspection of the dispositions made of the troops on the island of Samar shows that before the Balangiga fight there weore no less than thirty-eight separate posts These were so disposed that supplies could be conveyed to the troops by water. Gen- eral Hughes has left Samar and gome to the island of Cebu to recuperate, which accounts for the assumption of the com- mand on Samar by General Smith. General Hughes was worn out and suffered from the effects of a severe fall roceived whila chasing insurrectionists in the mountains ot Samar. How It Looked to Hughen. As_of interest in' connection with the report from Samar, Adjutant General Cor- bin today made public a report by General Hughes to General Chaffee, dated August, on the situation in that island. General Hughes says: “The progress in Samar Is satistactory in some ways and not in others. The sub- duing. of the fighting propensities of the war faction is reduced to a nullity. The Erowth of our strength in the estimation of the people is also quite satisfactory. Thelr love for the Americans and the pres dent of the United States is growing bur- densome, as the securing of the hemp with which to pay for rice Is becoming a heavy business. In nearly all our posts, whers the commander has excrcised good judg- ment, colonies of natives have come fn and settled and concluded they would set up their lares and penates under our wing. These colonies differ in strength, but in this vicinity, or between the Hibitan and the Ganadara rivers, about 16,00 haye come in. “The unsatisfactory features are the slow- ness of the proeess of conversion, the fail ure to get the rifles and the slowness and the dificulty in making roads and trails Every foot presents its pecullar obstacle, but the troops are doing all they can, and, while efforts have been made to push things faster, I am entirely satisfied with the results thus far secured. The commands are small, but I hope I have not made a mistake in underestimating the fighting ability of the forces now in the field against us. 1 would feel quite easy it all officers of the organizations were present, hut it is fully appreclated that some of the detach- ments are commauded by oficers who hayve really never been shot over. Adjuta | eral, “slx ‘men, Ny tates orge Samar, ber 16 Five Detachments Buoay. “Just at this date the bulk of the rifios seem Lo be in the reglon just west of the Catublg river. There are now five detach- ments in there making it uncomfortable for the people-—one on the Pambujan, one on the Mondragon, two moving east from 1 upper Catarman and one moving north from Taviran and San Enrlaue. . The Pani- bujan mountain 1s the objective, speaking generally, of all thewe detachments. “The people of Bohol seem to be grad- ually coming to the opinfon that they mada a mistake and are showing symptoms of a chamge of front. Our cause s growing stronger with the people. While the out- laws there will have to he roughly dealt with we will find much assistance from the natives themselves in doing so. n Lelte the latest surrender was tha! of ief Pacheco. Capilli brothers are still out and will probably have to be killed, but to do so it will be necessary to find them, which is dificult.
