THE OMAIIA DAILY BEEt SUNDAY , JITNE 0 , 1805. be president of the Board ot Visitors , ana Major John M. Carson , one of the best mili tary critics la civil life , was secretary , the board urged In strong language an Increase In the cadet corps and recommended the methods by which It could bo accomplished. It supgtMcd that besides one from each con gressional dlntrlct , to bo selected on the rec- ommcnlntlon of representatives , tlie president should bo permitted to appoint ten ca.ch year , Instead of being permitted to maintain ten , nnd that one bo ( elected by eich senator of the United States. The board made many suggestions as to the examinations of cadets and the methods to be pursued In their selection , nnd Insisted that with the largo plai.l maintained by the gov ernment nt West I'olnt there should be a much greater output , and that It might be de. nlrabto If three times the number who now have the advanUgo of a military education at "West I'olnt could bo turned out n3 finished military products from the acalcmy. 01 course It was not expected tha' nil who mlghl Kraiuato under this Increase of material could or would obtain commissions In the army , 1'robib'y ' two-thirds of those iccclvlng the splendid education there afforded would be glad to return to civil life , to take up the more profitable avocations there to be found The suggestion was made that those entering civil life could be required to report quar terly to the adjutant general ot the army , st that their whereabouts coulJ at any time b ( ascertained , and when an emergency do mamlel their services they could bo commls sloned for any Increase of the army tha1 might be needed. The board devoted consld orablo time to the question whether tin strength of the corps of cadets as now ejtab llshed by law should bo Increased. This 1 ; not a new question. It has been discussci In congresf , In the public pe.s : , and In the re ports ot former boards of visitors. Oplntoi has been divided touching the general prop osltlon , nnd varies as to the extent to whlcl an Increase should bo made and the method for Its accomplishment. "To maintain 1.000 cadets at West I'oln may not be Impracticable , but would bi Impolitic , for several reasons , not the leas of which Is that of expense. The work per formed at the military academy Is admit tcdly of the highest Importance and value ti the nation. If we are to consider the academy omy merely as the means of furnlnlilng th necessary material for supplying the anuua casualties of the present army In time o peace , no change In existing laws governlni the number admitted Is required. Hut th military academy has been established an < brought to Its present high standard of ex ccllcncn and efficiency by years of labo nnd experience and largo expendlturo o money. It has capacity for training an educating at one time nt least 400 student without material Increase In the annual cos of Its maintenance , and the board believe It would bo good policy to obtain for th nrmy and the country the full fruition of th Institution by Increasing the strength o the corps of cadets , so that It may bo a all times , after providing for casualties nearly equal to the membership of the hous of representatives. DIFFICULTY THAT KXISTS. "One ot the dllllcultles to which Genera Schofleld has frequently called attention 1 his reports , not only since ho has been 1 command of the army , but when he wa superintendent of the military academy , wa the lack of mental preparation , that , whll It might permit the youth to enter the acad emy , did not qualify him , although ho mlgli be very studious during tlie drat year , t pass the examination nt the end of the firs year at the academy. General SchofleM ha frequently urged that the states shoul maintain preparatory military schools , an that the selections for cadetshlps at Wei I'olnt should be made from these schooli In talking with him on his last visit I sup gestcd that I didn't know a better oppoi tunlty to Inaugurate this experiment or better place to establish such a school tha old Fort Omaha , when It should be abar ilnned by the troops. He said he greatl hoped this might be done , and that he cci tnlnly would lend all his Inllucnco to brln about this result. It would , of course , r < quire legislation , for In the bill provldln for the building ot Fort Crook It Is provide that Fort Omaha , when Fort Crook Is occi pled , shall be sold under the direction of th secretary ot war. I have no question , hov eyer , but that our accomplished represcnU lives from Nebraska In the senate and horn will be nblo to proSuro the legti latton that shall donate old Foi Omaha to the state of Ncbrask for a state military school for preparatlo for Woit I'olnt Military academy and the Ar nnpollo Naval academy. The state could we afford to accept the donation and take upo Itself the maintenance of such a school. Th youth selected for It should be divided amen UIQ congressional districts and should be sc IccteJ from the brightest and best of the pi plls of the higher grades cf school ? , noin natrd , perhats , to pass a mental and phys cal examination by the representatives in cor gross , and appointed finally by the governoi The best of these pupils should , after th preparatory ccurro has been had , b3 selecte to bo sent to West I'olnt nnd Annapolis. have no question of the entire success of thl experiment If It should be Inaugurated. M Impression Is that The Omaha Uee some year ago made suggestions similar to tills , and believe that the Journals of the state woul with cno accord favor It. GUOWTH OF MILITARY SI'IUIT. "The growth of what some are pleased t call the military spirit , throughout the cour try during the last ten years. Is rcmarkabli Citizens throughout the whole country ar seeing the advantage that Is to be gained t the youth of the country by military drill an discipline. It helps both bcdy and mini teaches habits of cleanliness , sobriety , onh and subservience to established authority When I entered upon my duties on the con mlllco on military affairs I found that con paratlvely few army otllccrs were permltte to bo detailed for military Instruction In stat schools and universities. Tnreo separate time as a sub-commlttecman I recommended favoi ably bills to enlarge the number , until no 110 olllcera of the army and navy are pei mitted to lie detalloj to state Institutions < learning to teach the military art. "Tho next commanding general of the arm Is that most distinguished am ! experience poldler , General Nelion A. Miles. I feel wa ; ranted In saying that In this matter ho Is I lull accord with the views expressed by Gei oral Schofteld , and I firmly bcllcvo that li will lend his Influence to the establlshmei of the Nebraska State Military school at Fo Omaha. "Whllo upon this subject 1 wouM like I urge upon the commissioners of Douglas ar Sarpy counties the necessity of a new bouli vartl or driveway from Omaha to Fort Creel pasting over the high bluffs that overlook tl Missouri river. The expenditure ot but small amount of money wouU make a magnl Icent highway that , adapted for the use i trolley cars , carriages and bicycles , and line with tree ? , would bo ono of the most attra tlve In the country. No citizen will visit tl new post as 't will look when completed ) will not favor the expenditure of the mone needed to build this highway. " Window GUM Worker * nf America \ Astlftt thB lldglnu Strikers. riTTSnURG , June 8 , Preliminary stei with a view of forming an International fn eratlou of the Window Glass Workers' ass elation for the protection of Its mutual Inte cats have been taken. At the con Ing convention of th association , whlc will meet In this city June 1 the proposition will probably bo one the most Important on record und an nllUn with the amalgamated workmen of Frain aud llclglum negotiated. A strike has been. In progress In Delglu for several weeks and the American worl men desire to ascertain the status of tl trouble , with the object of giving them Unai c ! l aid. Immediate actlcn Is urged by mat members of the Window Glass Workers' ass elation , as It Is recognized that the defeat the Delglans will work hardship- ) upon tl American workmen and will eventually resu In the demoralization ot the wage rate. The members of the Window Glass Worl ors' association 1m vo urged tint money I contributed at once to support the Hclgli strikers. If they are In need of It.

( Special Telegram.- ) Ex-Warden Beemer Is back In the penltcn' tlary. Following the meeting this mornlnp ot the Board of Public Lands and Buildings at which the appraisers of Dorgan's property made the report , the board held another ses slon this afternoon and appointed AI Bcemei as superintendent and steward of the pen ! tentlary. This action created profound sur prise In the vicinity of the capltol building Mr. Bccmcr was seen this morning by a re porter for The Bee and nsked If he expectoi any such action on the part of the board. H < replied that he was not prepared to say , bu < he added that the state could save $1,000 t month by locking the convicts up Instead o paying 40 cents a day to a contractor foi their maintenance. Whatever work was go ! out of them would be so much gain for tin state. He thought that the broom factory am : tha harness shop would ba paying adjuncts tc the penitentiary under state control. In hli opinion the convicts could b : maintained foi 30 cents a day per capita. Subsequent to the appointment Of Beemei Governor Holcomb was Interviewed lie said : "I was very much sur prised at the action of the baan in appointing Mr. Becmer steward ot tin penitentiary. In the light of past decisions of the supreme court It js cleirly Illegal The board has the right to manage the prison but I think that It must do so with the olll cers appointed by Warden Leldlgh and my self. The appointment of a supsrlntenden is something In the naturs of a fifth whec to a coach. All that h ? can do the wardei can do. It Is an unnecessary expense .to thi stato. The appointment of a steward Is , : think , unconstitutional , and I have an Ide : that Warden Leldlgh will carry the matte Into the courts. There will have to ba i decision en this matter , as such Innovation on the pirt of the Board of Public Land : nud Buildings will have to bo explained. Dorgan , Is It understood , proposes to Im mediately evacuate the prison , regardless o Judge Tlbbetts' decision In the Injunctloi case brought by tha Illinois banks. This , b ; the way , does not seem to trouble Dorgnn ii the least. Governor Holcamb says that hi believes the state Is safe In purchasing th property of Dorgan and paying whomever th court shall say hns a right to the money.

Justice Spencer this morning handed ( low an opinion In theBuckner bigamy case , hold ing that the hearing given the case In th district court at Omaha does not constltut such a trial as would debar a trial hero 1 : the county where the crime was committed He also held that the Omaha court did no have Jurisdiction of a crime committed 1 Lancaster county. This decision Is basci upon the ruling of the supreme court ln , th celebrated Olive case , heard many years age and which presented n similar law poinl He therefore overruled the plea in abate ment and bound the accused over on a charg of bigamy.
