Gatling Drafted Into City to Pre. werve Order. WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. 1.—Bight companies of the First regiment, Connecti- cut national guard, and five companies of the Second regiment, with Gatling guns, were called to Waterbury tonight at the command of Governor Chamberiain be- cause of “imperative need” occasioned by the trolley strike situation. The riots about the strects last night, with threats of still further disturbances tonight, led to the eall for tho troops. There was no repetition today of last night's riots, but crowds had to be dis. persed by the police, while there were | rumors of an intended attack on the car barn, where the monumion men are quar- tered. During the day all the lines were op- erated #e usual with the nonunion trolley men, but though there was some hooting and jeering from the crowds, the cars were not molested. No cars were run after dark. National guard companies G and A of | this elty, a part of the Second regiment, were' called to thelr armory shortly be- tore 6, and remained there for orders. The governor being asked why the mili- tary was called out, replied: Because the situation demands it, 1 had hesitated, but every effort has been made by the Waterbury authorities, and wisdom seemed to dictate that the troops be called out If the law were to be preserved. New Havem Also Calied On. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 1.--The New Haven battalisn of the Connecticut na- tional guard was summoned to the Second regiment armory this evening by the Mng- Ing of the bell alarm. It 1s understod that the troops, five com- panies, will leave for Waterbury tonight for duty in connection with the trolley strike in that city. WAR IS NOT OUT OF QUESTION (Continued from First Page.) circles that Germany particularly is ex- ceedingly anxious to found new colonies for its surplus population. Practically South Africa is barred to her, Asia affords few at- tractive flelds to people of Teutonle blood d the Pacific Islands which the emperor acquired from Spain subsequent to the Spanish-American war afford but little fe- Mef. South America, therefoe, appears to be the only attractive feld and it & foothold could once be obtained on the con- tinent of America there is mo doubt that great difficulty would follow any attempt to drive away the German flag. Shortly after the close of the Frdnco-Prussian war in 1871 Pismarck chagrined from thes ease with which France pald its indemnity to Germany and thereby bringing abont the withdrawal of German troops from French soll, decided to etill further humillate and punish the French people. He planned a g-oeat scheme for the further dismember- ment of French territory and decided to add to the ‘province of Alsace and Lorraine a large strip to the westward of the Rhin Thiers, then the premier of France, learn ing of Bismarck's plan, decided to send as the representative of the French republic at the court of the czar of Russia a sol- dier ‘instead of a statesman. This sold! plainly explalmed to Alexander just wl the French people believed that Bismarck proposed to do and Alexander promptly responded to the request for ald, that the moment the Initial step should be taken by Bismarck he would mass a quarter of a million Russian troops on the Russo- German trontier. No particular palns were taken to prevent the knowledge of this pro- posed movement on the czar of all the Russias from bocoming known in Berlin, and the result that Bismarck's plan was abandoned and since that time France and Germany have dwelt In apparent peace. Monroe Doetrime Stands. The United States does not propose to permit Germany, Great Britain, Italy or any other forelgn power to violate the | principles lald down by ident Monroe. So far, while there havé been Instances of too much aggressiveness on the part of Germany, particularly, it is not con- sidered tiat any overt act has been com- mitted which requires that this country should intervene, but the fact that prepar- ations are buing made and that the subject receives dally consideration is very well known. It is true that the American navy on the Atlantic seaboard today is not suffi- clently powerful to cope with the combina- tion of Buropean navies, but neither fs it believed, however, that any ome power would oare to contest thg pelicy of the United States to the extent of openly vio- lating the Monroe doctrime. While little publicity s given to the situation by the authorities of the Navy department, it is well understood that officers of the navy are on the alert and that everyone of those within reaching distance of the Atlantic seaboard s ready at any moment to respond to a call for active duty, and that the ut- most efforts are being miade to maintain the vessels of the mavy in the highest state of efficiency. Secretary Root's declaration that we must have war sometime is not regarded ae indicating that the adm/ulstration com- templates any immediate outbreak, but simiply that the time will come, unless the South American peopie entirely change their methods (which is not likely) when this country must be prepared to enforce its contention that no European power I secure an additional foothold upon the territory of the American continent. New Militia Laws. It seems almost incredible that a law passed in 1792 should have remained in force upon the statute books of the United States for 110 years without any attempt on the parf of congress to amend or mod- iy the same in that time, and yet that is | absolutely what is known as the militia law has done. No matter how long the law passed in 1792 has been obsolete and inop- erative, the congvess of the United Stat has never taken upon itselt to amend or modify the existing statute unal the pre ent congress, when on January 21 President Roosevelt signed the new militia bill, which Te-creates the national guard. Every pres- ident from Washington to Roosevelt has recognized the inadequacy and Ineficiency of legislation on the subject of the militia, and they have repeatedly recommended the repeal of the old law and the substitution of something practicable. Almost without to contain not less than twenty-four ca tidges, suited to the bore of his musket or frelock, cach eartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifie, knapsack, shot pouch and powderhorn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle and a quarter bf a pound of powder,”" and that each commissioned officer shall be “armed with a sword or hanger, a fuseo, bayonet and belt,” ete., is Is readily appre- | clated how little attention the American | people have paid to the subject of properly | arming and equipping the militia. | What the New BIll Means. General Dick, chairman of the militia commiittee, is largely responsible for the | the future of the nation. | was a united body of men, who, while they had thelr personal ideas as to verbiage | and construction of the bill, yielded their personal objections to the measure which the president signed under exceptional cir- | cumstances on the 21st of January. There are in the several states, territories and the District of Columbia about 115,000 men in the feveral state org men are to be fitted immediately with the atest arm of the infantry service. There are in the several arsenals at Watervliet and Springfield nearly 100,000 Krag-Jorgen- sen rifics, and these will be immediately turned over to the proper officers of the National guard of the several statesto be placed in the hands of the guardsmen. Regular army regulations will obtain here- after in the National guard. They will bunk the same as the regular, they will eat the same ration as the regular and they will be trained by regular army of- ficers just as the regular army is trained, that should any trouble come to the natfon in the future the thoroughly well { equipped and splendidly trained organiza- tion can be at once thrown into the field | of active military operations. General Dick, | who 1s an enthusiastic supporter of the | measure, and who believes it means much Back of him the other day that he believed the passage of the militia bill would not only increase the spirit of the guardsman, buj would add largely to the personnel of the guard. He sald that the passage of the bill meant that the militiaman of today would be the soldier of tomorrow, and that the benefits to be derived from such a compact organ- fzation would be far-reaching in character. Europeans Interested. “When 1was at West Point in attendance upon the centennia] exercises of the acad- emy,” sald the general, “I found that the representatives of forelgn governments in attendance at the academy at the samo time knew more about the contemplated militia Bill than our own people; that they were watching the trend of affairs more clorely than we were watching them at home, and that if such an admirably reorganization of the Natlonal Guard as provided for in the bill brought out so many inquiries rom forelgn diplomats, how much tore vital must such a bill be to our own people.” Continuing along these “Despite peace utterances, talk of arbitration, human nature remains the same. Wars dre certaln to occur agein and the nation would be very derelict if it made no further provision for self-pro- tection. The surest way to prevent other rations from infringing upon our rights and Interests and transgressing upoa our territory 1s to be o preparcd that wo can take immediate and effective steps to pun- ish any violation of our fiational interests. t safely be said that within the boundaries of the Unit»d States there are between 10,000,000 and 12,000,000 men able to perform military service.

By a treaty signed several months ago Argentina and Chill each agreed not to in- crease its naval strength and to a Iimited, extent to adopt a disarmament poliey, At the time the treaty was consummated Ar- gentina had two'armored crulsers under construction in Italy and Chill two battle- ships under construction in England. The crulsers are Lo be of 5,000 tons each and to have a speed of twenty-one knots. The battleships are to be 12,000 wns dis- placement and twenty-one . kncls speed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1—In accoriance with the terms of the new militia law the entire soldiery of the country is to be supplied with the regular army service rifle. The state militia organizations aggrega approximately 115,000 wen, nearly double the number in the regular army. They will be furnished thelr new arms as rapidly as they can be manufactured by the mational armory at Springfield, Mass. In addition to.this the War department is installing & plant st the Kock Island arsenal for the manufacture of service rifies, though it will be some time before it is ready for work. The departmen. has on hand a large reserve supply of rifies, sufficlent almost to equip the militia, but will rely mainly on the product of the armories, as the officials prefer not to draw on the reserve too heavily. exception they have recognized that the main support and defence of the conatry in time of trouble must rest Upon its volun- teer force and they have repeatediy calied the attention of congress to the necessity of making proper provision for organixing, arming and disciplining the militia.

The attendiug physician has heretotore been reticent, but-the impression reflected from the bulletins was one of encourage- ment, and those in attendance made no attempt tonight to conceal the fact that the day had been most satisfactory from a medical standpoint. Qne who {s admitted to the sick cham- ber sald at midnight: There is no doubt he is better. During the day patient took a sufficlent amount of, Mouriehiment ‘without trouble, ‘and ex- hibited strength that was looked upon as gratifying. His mind was clearer than for a_week past, and he was able to recog- nize those about him, as well as tb con- verse briefly. His temperature, which has varied alightly during the past week, was more nearly normal tonight than at any time since the critical turn in his iliness a week ago. . The first bulletin today was issued at 11 a. m., and was as follows: Mr. Long passed a comfortable night, and he seems this morning to bhave made a sfight improvement ‘This was followed by a bulletin at 6:30 P m., which read: Mr. Long has had a good day, and his condition tonight is more favorable.

His temperaure has been more n-lpglcv normal t! on any previous day. At the late conference the dbctors agreed that the day had been most satisfactory, and that Mr. Long showed unquestionable signs of improvement. Mr. Long is almost constantly at the bedside of her husband, and was able to speak with hi mtoday. INCENDIARY AS_S_!ULTS' WOMAN Persistent and Determined Effort to n Residence of Dead- wood Man. DEADWOOD, §. D., Fab. 1.—(Special.)— Mrs. P, N. Carr was set upon and dealt & stunning blow back of the ear while try- ing to defend her home on Charles stree Deadwood, from incendiaries. She had & revolver in one hand and it was wrested away trom her by her assailant, who made off in the darkness. When she was struck she called to another woman in the hous directing her to bring her another revol ver. This was probably what cause¢ the precipitate flight of the man. He evidently slipped on the ice in the alley and dropped the revolver in his baste, for it was after- ward found. Eight attempts have been made to burn the Carr bome during the last few months. In each instance the fire was started in an outbuilding mear the house, and was each time discovered In time to be extingulshed before it could be communfcated to the dwelling. Several times the fire department was called out, and one of the fires de- stroyed a shed in which 1t,bad been started. The police set detectives to watch the prem! and Mr. Carr, who 1s & sa- loon man, afterward lifred a guard, who was on duty several weeks, during which time the incendiaries did not return. As soon as the guards were taken off, however, an- other attempt was made to fir The fire was discovered by Mre. who ran out in time to see a man hastening sway. She fired at him and the bullet struck a board fence n ephoning to Mr. Carr, she set he watch. In & few minutes she saw & man enter the woodshed. With a pistol in her band she opened the back door and sta tioned herself where she could get a shot at him when he left the shed. As soon as she emerged from the house an accomplice who had been stationed beside the door struck her from the side, knocking her down. Both men then ran away. An effort was made to have the blood- hounds kept by Sheriff Moses at Belle Fourche brought to Deadwood, but they could not be procured in time to get a scent sufficiently tresh to offer any assur. ance of their being able to follow it. Funde for Peor Man's Shelter. SIOUX FALLS, 8.

LEGISUATIVE WORK LAID QUT Wolf Bounty Bill On Importance Passed Up te Date. CHEYENNE, Wyo The Wyoming legl the third week of its forty-day s | but very little of importance has beep | complished outside of the passage of wolf bounty bill by the house and reaching of the agreement in the senate to accept the measure as adopted by the lower house. Enough has been done, how- ever, In both houses to give a very good idea of what may be expected during the ensuing three weeks. It mow appears certain that provision will be made for erection of the governor's residence in Cheyenne, at a cost of $6,000, the erection of a branch of the Wyoming General hospital at Sheridan, at a cost of $10,000, the erection of a dormitory at the state university at Jaramie, to cost $15,- 000, the purchase of a spall tract of land adjoining the state asylum for the insane at Bvanstoh for use as a truck garden, and certain jmprovements in fue state hospital at Rock Springs; the improvement of the Blg Horn hot springs at Thermopolis, and the creating of an additional state coal mine inspector. Numerouws appropriations will be authorized in addition to those enumerated above, and among these will probably be an appropriation for $40,000 or $50,000 for an exhibit of the state’s re- sources at the St. Louls World's falir.
