POSSIBILITY OF WAR WI1H MEXICO
The strained rlations between t!ic government of the United States
and Dictator Huerta continue io agitate the public mind. V. Hi!r it is
probable that hostilities may soon commence, the patriotic people or
the country are 'hoping for an amicable adjustment of the chfnsullies
and the pacification of our war-cursed sister republic without a resort
to arms on the part of Unde Sam. This hope is fostered by the con
servative and patriotic attitude of our public men, especially prom -
cent members of congress. Senator Tillman of South Carolina . axed
an opinion which is w.de.spread throughout the country, w::cn m
recent interview he said:

If the senator had gone a little farther and included the invest
ments of Americans as well as those of foreigners he would have ex
pressed the sentiment oi the genera! public. It has become well blown
that the most urgent demands for intervention have come from tnose
who represent large investments in Mexico. If it were merely a ques
t-on of humanity tire United States would hrive intervened long ago, as
m the case of Cuba.
ARE WE PREPARED FOR WAR?
War tail; has brought with it the usual discussion as to the pre
paredness or unpreparedness of the United States to cope with an
armed foe. There are tho e who po nt to the relatively small regular
army, the fact that some of our battleships are without a full comple
ment of men, the lack of modern equipment and so forth. But one
who speaks with an air of authority and knowledge of intricate details
tells us that the army of the United States, while smali, is probablv
better trained and armed than that of any other nation in the world,
and that our navy is second only to that of Great Britain. He states
that during the last five years all unnecessary red tape in the army
has been abolished and efforts concentrated on simplification and cfh
ciency.
The United States army contains 8! 000 men Of this number,
approximately 60,000 are on duty m tire United States, the otners be
ing in service in “the Philippines, Panama, Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian islands.” The navy has 57.000 men, exclusive of the mar.ne
corps. The militia numbers 122,000 officers and enlisted men.
The old saying that “an army travels on its belly” was exemplified
in the Spanish-American war, and from the mistakes made on that oc
casion have sprung reforms which have made more efficient the de
partments charged with supplying the army with necessaries. The pay
master’s, quartermaster’s and commissary departments are now one,
and are known as the quartermaster s corps.
A great advance has also been made in the matter of small arms.
The army, the navy and the militia now have what is known as the
United States magazine rifle. It is the only rifle used and it is is believed
to be the most powerful made. It will kill at two miles. It has the
lowest trajectory of any rifle used by any army.
The navy is pronounced the equal of any navy excepting that
of Great Britain. It is absoutely up to date. There arc twenty-nine

modern battleships in it, nine comparatively old battleships, fifteen
first-class cruisers, three second-class cruisers, fourteen third-class
ruisers, tv/enly-cne gunboats, rty-mne destroyers, thirty-two tor
pedo boats and thirty-five submarines. In gunnery the Ame/cian navy
outranks Great Britain.
The militia has been greatly improved through assoc.at.on with
he regular army and through instruction by army officers since the pa;
.age o! the national militia law.
For communication the army signal corps is superb. Every ad
I vnn.ee n wireless telegraphy, telephony and Morse telegraphy ha
! been adapted tor use in the army. Under present conditions a general
could keep in constant touch With every regiment under his command
no matter how widely the troops were scattered. The operators are
among the best men m the land.
The medical department, taking advantage of the lessons taught
by the Span.’sh-Amencan and Russo-Japanese wars, has been greatly
iir.pro ved.
In the event of war two men who arc likely to occupy positions
of great importance are Leonard Wood, major general and chief of
staff of the army, and Rear Admiral Charles J Badger, commander in
chaef of the Atlantic fleet of the navy. General Wood is spoken of as
a born soldier and thoroughly equipped m every respect, and his e:c
per.ence in Luba and in live Philippines added greatly to his reputation.
Rear Admiral Badger is a comparatively young man, but a skilled tac
tician and thoroughly up to his duties.
Taken all in all, it appears that there is every reason to believe
■ that the land and sea forces of the United States are m position to give
a good account of themselves should the occasion demand.
SUNDRY BORES
People dodge old Dan McGlory as they carac le and ring, for he always ha1*
a story that he’s suffering to spring; and .his tale.' are d.-mys (.reary. so they :nah ■
h:- hearers weary, and they wish him in Sibery with anecdotal • -riing. People
dodge old Billy Bidole when he looms up in their view. ; r lm rlory !u.s a ruble
that he wants an answer to; and his riddles are h ; ry ■ - the yarns of Dan
McGbry, and from Boston to Empory people seeing him cry. “:'huoi" People dodge
old Huckleberry as around the town they whiz; for his stories never vary -they
are of his rheum at iz; oh. he always is complaining how he suffers when it’s raining,
how his tortured thorns are straining when the wintry blizzards bliz. People dodge
old Sarah Twister, for she gives them all an ache; she’s a tiresome shrieking sister,
batty on the suffrage fake; wearing out her vocal features she is lecturing to the
bleachers on the rights of female creatures when die should stay home and bake.
People dodge old Peter Peddler; he’s severely let alone; for he is a chronic meddler
in affairs which aren’t his own; he’s a rare old mischief maker, spreading gossip by
the acre, he’s a bad old scandal raker, and his name makes people groan. Walt

TOO ALISTIC
Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 19.—Riotous
scene®, almost culminating in the lynching
of the actors, who reresented Turks,
marked the first performance last night of
King Nicholas’ play, “The Siege of Scu
tari.'
When the actor who played the role of
Essad Pasha came upon the stage the tu
mult became deafening. A youth sprang on
the platform, revolver in hand, and with
difficulty was restrained from shooting the
actor. When a member of the cast, before
the battle scene, began to describe the as
sault on Tarabosch, several veterans in the
audience arose and denounced him as a
liar.
When the third act showed the Turks in
full retreat the audience made a rush for
the stage with the intention of lynching
the wearers of the fez. The police were
compelled to use force to restrain the fran
tic people.

NEW OCEAN LINERS
FOR WHITE PASS & YUKON
To Be Placed on Run Between Seattle and
Skagway Next Spring
Seattle, Oct. 1-.- It was annuonced here
today by President 0. L. Dickeson of the
White Pass & Yukon route that his com
pany plans to build two large ocean-going
steamships which will be placed on the run
from this city to Skagway next spring.
When these new boats are placed on the
run the White Pass will have a through
line of their own from this city to Fair
banks.
The two boats will be combination ves
sels, built to handle the passenger traffic
and also to carry freight. The ships will
cost at least half a million dollars each and
will be modern and vul fitted up in all
departments. They will be constructed
with a view of obtaining fairly good speed,
but no expense wib be ared in the ef
forts to make the boa as comfortable as
possible.
Pre>ident Dickeson stab.-d today that the
officers of his company are well pleased
with the patronage accorded the new boats
I bicrd on the Yukon ri\er on the run to
Fairbanks. Though the extension was an
experiment, it was justified, and the serv
ice to Fairbanks will be increased as busi
s warrants. He also stated that further
reductions in rates quoted by bis company
may be made this year, as ihc through
.truce v. Ill allow a cheaper rale than for
merly, when the White Pass was forced to
pair nize anoti er line on the ocean run
and bad to pay lb air rates on the run be
tween Skagway and Seattle.

Manila, P. I.. Oct. 7. Governor General

the people of the islands today in which
lie outlined the plans of the administration
as stated to him in the instructions re

Governor General Harrison declared that
it is the intention of the administration to
grant the Filipin s their independence as

freeing the islands. His remarks were very

HORSE CHEWS TOBACCO
Cottonwood Falls, Kan., Oct. 23.-—Frank
Brown, a l cal furniture dealer, has a six
year-old black horse named “Bill.” which
has recently become a habitual tobacco
user. So keenly has the animal come to
enjoy the weed that every time his master
I drives down town the horse expects his
allotment of “fine cut.” and is greatly dis
j appointed unless it is forthcoming.
Any variety of fine cut is his favorite,
but he will chew plug tobacco if given in
place of the other. It is no unusual thing
for “Bill” to eat one or two packages of
tobacco at a time, and he would readily
use up half a dozen of them were they
given to him. His owner believes that a
package of tobacco every few days will do
no harm and may be a good thing to help
keep a horse healthy, which is the reason
he indulges “Bill” in his whim.

CENTENARY OF TOP HAT
Although the centenary of the top hat is
to be celebrated this year, it was invented
probably in I I nonce about 1700, waiting
rather more titan half a century for its
vogue.
On its first appearance in London, dated
by some authorities January 15, 1797, curi
osity ran and crowded to such lengths
that several women “fainted away” in the
crush, and one citizen paid for his un
mannerliness with a broken arm, while the
[ wearer met with the common fate of those
I who spring anything new on humanity, be
j ing ignominiously bound over by the lord
mayor on a charge of breach of the peace.
The silk hat reached its modern perfec
} tion in the '30s, the D'Orsay days.
