REORGANIZATION OF ARTILLERY BRANCH teast ut Flel4 Arllllery Will Be Separated mm Latter Will Have Reerlmeatal Foraaatlea It Plaae Prevail. WABH1NQTON, March ).-Sevei briga dier geaerals, all veteran of the civil war, were not Included tn the list of such offi cers eent to the senate recently by the president for promotion to the grade of major general. Their names were not omitted from any lack of consideration, but rather because tn five eases they were ataff officers and at the moment only line vacancies were In mind. Ift five cases the officers were at the head of great staff departments and It was rot deemed wise or desirable from any point of view to re lire them at this time from active service. However, it le now proposed that at least It shall be made possible for them to attain the arade of major general when they ac tually so upon the retired list. The officers on staff duty are:. Brigadier General tleorge B. Davis, Judge advocate general; Brigadier General Charles T. Humphrey, iurtermaster general; Brigadier Oeneral Alexander MacKensle, chief of engineers; Brigadier Oeneral Robert M. O'Reilly, sur geon general, and Brigadier Oeneral Fran cis 8- podge, peytnaater general. Wlat Waltlaa L.I.I. The two line officers of the rank of briga dier general are Jeaae M. Lee, selected to command the new brigade punt at Fort Ktotaenberg, Philippine ialanda, and Theo dore J. Wlnt, commanding the Department of the Missouri, at Omaha. Complete reorganisation vf the coast ar tillery and the separation of the Held and roast artillery is contemplated In a bill by Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the house committee on military aflairs. introduced at the request of Secretary Tatt and the chief -of -staff. Oeneral Batra At present the coast and field artillery are under the chief of artillery, Oeneral Miles and both are organised into batteries, but have no regimental organisation. As the field artillery and the coast artillery are entirely unrelated and have wholly different duties, the War department de sires mat trie reld artillery shall be organ ised as the cavalary and Infantry are, and shall In every way be governed as those branches of the services are. Consequently the bill provides for Its organisation Into six regiments with two battalions each and each battalion Is to contain three batteries. Iacreas Uoaat Artillery. The coats artillery Is by the provision of the bill to continue with the battery as the unit of organisation and Is to be under the direction of the chief of artillery, whose title is to be changed to chief of coast artillery. The officer commanding the coast artillery Is still to be a member of the gen eral staff, as the chief of artillery is. A marked increase In the size of the coast artillery Is provided for In the bill. The number In that branch is about 14.000 and the bill provides that It may be In creased to ,147. Provision Is also made for special grades among the enlisted moii and for Increased pay tor electricians and other skilled men neceesary to coast de fense work. Much trouble Is experienced in holding mechanics and other skilled private required" by the coast artillery and consequently the portion of the bill offering special inducements to men of this class Is regarded by the War department, as one of its most important features.

WASHINGTON, March 30. The house today passed the legislative, executive and Judicial appropriation bill, carrying $30,000. 000, after considering the measure two weeks.

WIRELESS WORDS ARE IGNORED I alted fftatea May laslat Messages Itelna Transmitted by the ' Heeelvor. WASHINGTON. March .- -Possibly the experience of Nuvy detriment in Its efforts to keep In touch with the 'dry dock Dewey In Its reharkalile cruUe from the Chesapeake bay to the Philippines may re sult in a concerted attempt to secure an International control wiihln certain limits of wireless telegraphy. The officials have had good reaxon to believe that In several Instance Commander Hosley, in charge of the towing expedition, might have suc ceeded In communicating with the depart ment, and that, too, at limes when there was genuine apprehension as to the safety of the tow, hud the shore wireless sistions responded to his signals. At this time, when the supply ship Uhuier is passing through the Mediterranean waters, with wireless stations on adjacent shores, noth ing can be heard from It, and this is said to have occurred to ether naval ships through the refusal of some of the wire less companies to accept messages from vessels equipped with instruments not Is sued by them. Some years ago the German government, whose merchant marine had suffered in thus w, liiade inquiries u. eacertulu whether thei was uot a possi bility of securing an international agree ment like the existing convention for the protection of ocean . cables for the regula tion of the marine use of wireless telegraph, but owing to the undeveloped state of tho art at that time nothing was accomplished. It is possible now, however, attention hav ing been directed strongly to the subject by the cruise of the Dewey, that the effort will be renewed to the end that all wireless companies will be .obliged to accept any messages from any other company.

March .-The hor rible accounts are reaching St. Peters burg of cannibalism and starvation among tribes Inhabiting- the fro sen Arc-tie plain of the Chukchis peninsula, at the ex tremity of Asia. Most of the reindeer died of starvation during the winter of 1904-6, leaving the Inhabitants without means of communica tion or food. During the last winter whole tribes have died and members of the Omolona and Ololya tribes, when facing starvation, assembled in council and de cided thai nothing remained but death. They agreed that , each head of, a family should kill his wife and children and then commit suicide. The tribesmen gath ered on a plateau covered with" snow and ice and In the darkness of ' the Arctic winter the spartan decision was exe cuted, not a single member of the two tribes surviving. More revolting still is the story of what occurred In a family of the Yukahir tribe. A mother and nine of her children having died of hunger, the father, a surviving dsughter and a nephew lived upon the remains, and when they were consumed the father murdered the nephew. A Russian named Dulganoff, who went to the region to buy furs, reported the situation to the authorities at Yakutsk, Si beria. He entered a snow hut of a Yu kahir family while the latter were eating the head of a murdered relative. DIAMONDS Edholm, 16th and Harney. NOTE TELLERUNDER ARREST Joseph P.

I The Children Enjoy Life out of doors and out of the fames which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results irom the use of the old time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle- Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIO SYRUP CO. is printed on the front of every package. In order to get its beneficial ' effects it is always neces sary to buy the genuine only. For sale by all re liable druggists. t Y -'J Ni.. ( iih -:. ,--:;,v wrx. r. vj iv r.. I ' V.
