WASHINGTON, Oct lo.-i-Orders will be
issued by the War Department tomorrow
ordering that the regular Army be reduced
to the minimum authorlzed'by law, 59,000
men. With the practical cessation of out
breaks in the Philippines, it Is believed
that this can be safely, done. The present
Elzo of the Army is about 67.000. v The cav

WORK ON ARMIES OF THE WORLD.
American OlBccr'g Volume, Based on
Research, an Excellent One.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Stored with
complete and interesting information con
cerning every branch of every army In
the world, and replete with fine illustra
tions and maps. "Notes of Military Inter
est for 1S01." made public today by Lieutenant-Colonel
William M. Simpson, chief
of the military information division, is one
of the best volumes of the kind ever Issued
In the world. The matter was compiled
and arranged by Captain Weed Edwards,
Twenty-first Infantry; Captain J. S.
Heron, Second Cavalry; First Lieutenant
H. B. Furgeson. engineer, and Second
Lieutenant Clark, of the Ninth Infantry,
with the assistance .of our military at
taches at the various foreign capitals.
The first pages of the volume are de
voted to the military budgets of the vari
ous countries for 1302, with interesting
oomments and comparisons. The organi
zation of military establishments is taken
up, and the changes in the make-up of
the British,- Russian, Swedish, Servian.
Brazilian and Argentine armies are dealt
with at length. Of especial Interest, In
view of' the efforts of the United States
Army to settle upon a type of 'field gun,
Is the chapter upon field artillery. It is
pointed out that there are only two gen
eral types of modern field guns, namely,
guns on rigid carriages and guns with
recoil devices on the carriages, and it Is
stated that neither of these types has yet
obtained unanimous preference. Tho
greatest possible rapidity of fire Is not
obtained with the guns on rigid carriages,
but they possess marked advantages In
simplicity, strength and lightness of ma
terial, and their faults are stated to be
tho failure of the carriage io maintain the
exact first firing position and the uncer
tain action of. the spade In hard ground.
With the recoil-carriage guns, which
mechanism returns the . gun to the orig
inal firing poalilon. more rapidity of fire
is obtained, but the weapon has Its dis
advantages in the way of complexity of
mechanism. Increased weight and liability
to fatal injury In action.
FAVORS WtoMErf FOR AR3IY MJRSES
Surgeon-General Itixey Submits. Ulir
Flret Anaur.l Report.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Tho first an
nual Teport of Surgeon-General Rixey
shows that the health of the Navy and
Marine Corps was good throughout tne
past fiscal year, the percentage of sick
and the death rate being lower than for
several years. The most important recom
mendation of tho report, perhaps, Is that
Congress provide for the establishment of
ii woman's nurse corps for the Navy, to
consist of one superintendent nurse, eight
head nurses, 1G first-class and 24 second
class nurses, these numbers to be In
creased at the discretion of the Secretary:.
The Surgeon-General says:
"That women are the superior of men
for the work of nursing there can be no
question, and the objection that they are
not compatible with military conditions
can scarcely apply to Institutions of the
character of our large naval hospitals."
The Surgeon also makes a strong plea
for the appointment of dentists for the
Navy, pointing out that many otherwise
pood recruits for the sen-ice are lost for
lack of dental care.
An earnest statement Is made by Ad
miral Rlxey that the present medical
force under his command Is entirely in
adequate. He shows that whereas since
the Spanish War the medical corps has
Increased only 15 per cent 'in numbers,
the naval strength has Increased 70 per
cent, and the examinations for re-enlistment
102 per cent. He submits a recom
mendation for the appointment of 150 more
medical officers, and refers to a number
of resignations during the past year, ow
ing to dissatisfaction with tfce outlook for
promotion, and the fact that the corps
were undermanned-. ...
A post-graduate .course for the novitiate
in the Medical Corps Is said to be a neces
sity, and the ilrst step already has been
taken in the transfer of the medical
school from New York - to Washington.
Carrving out his idea for the education of
medical .officers. Admiral Rlxey further
recommends that after .each, cruise sur
geons should be given a period of "duty
, cither at home or abroad In some of the
great medical centers, where they would
have opportunity tp get In touch with the
march of professional progress.
Based on the experience of the Spanish
War is the recommendation that at least
two permanent hospital-ships, one for the
Atlantic and one for tho Pacific, should
te coiiStracted. These should have the
;ght to fly the Geneva flag. Other rec
ommendations look to the creation of a
sanitarium for the Navy for the treat
ment of tuberculosis, like that established
by the Army at Fort Bayard, N. M,; for
the Improvement of the sick qunrters
aboard ship, and for representation from
the Medical Corps In the naval boards
which design the ships, In order that sani
tary conditions may be improved.
SHAW OUT OF BOXD MARKET.
Time Has Jfotv Passed Under Offer of
Secretary for Purchases.
WASHINGTON, Oct., 15. On September
zb. last, secretary Shaw published a notice
to the effect" that the department would
purchase any of the United States 5 pet
cent bonds of ISOi at 5105 flat If presented
on or before October 15 (today). Under
that ofrer the Secretary has purchased
5s to the amount of $23,500.
Some days after this notice was Issued.
the Secretary announced that offers for
tho sale of Government ' 3s and 4s would
be considered by the department, but lnt
timated that the prices must be low If
Bales were made. Offers under this an-
nouncement have been received aggregate
lng as follows: $3,700,000 4s of 1905 at
138.25; $200,000 4s of 1907, at ?111 50. All
of these offerings have been rejected.
Secretary Shaw is now on his 'way to
Indiana, where he will deliver a political
speech tomorrow evening at Oakland City.
When questioned in regard to the state
ment that tho Secretary was planning to
purchase a large block of bonds, the
Treasury officials now here declined, in
the Secretary's absence,, to discuss the
matter further than to-say jthatrthe r.epprt
probably was without foundation. The
fact that the Secretary has so far declined
all bond offerings is taken as conclusive
that he is not at present, at least, in the
market.

THE LAKE REGION.
(Continued front First Pape.)
name In acres the area of cultivable lands
which can be'"covered" by ditches draw
ing water from the Upper Klamath Lake,
for It would be simply a guess; but It Is
very .great. Certainly a comprehensive
Irrigation system thus supplied without
stint or limit would treble the present
hay-producing acreage of the Klamath
lower lands, and many times multiply
their annual product. Something has"
already been done In a relatively small
way bv drawing water from the Klamath
River, which flows from the lower or
southern end of the lake.; and with this
aid a wide prcductlve district has been
created within the past three or four,
years. In the neighborhood of Merrill, a
considerable town, some 2i or 25 miles
south from Klamath Falls, I saw a few
days, ago field after field of alfalfa and
grain, where only two' Summers ago was
mere sagebrush waste all duetto the ap
plication of water drawn from the Klam
ath River. As a mere exhibit of the .pro
ductive power of the soli and as an illus
tration of the advantages of artificial irri
gation in a country of scant rainfall, but
with an unlimited resource of available
stored waters, this sight alone was worth
the journey froai Portland, with all Its
discomforts. From these productive fields
my mind's eye turned to a future when
the whole of the low-lying region of the
Klamath shall be brought under the flow
of Irrigation systems and the vision grew
too large for definite conception.
Lake County, which lies parallel with
Klamath, and Is geographically and other
wise part of the great Klamath region, is
much like the country just described, but
wKii ;ome points of radical difference. It
lies 1000 feet higher. Its valley levels be
ing approximately 5000 feet above sea level.
It Is above and beyond the Klamath Basin
and It has np background of water-bearing
mountains. As It Is higher, so It Is drier
than Its western sister Immediate
ly beneath the caves of the Cas
cades. Its valleys are fewer and
narrower than are those of the
Klamath; the ratio of elevated country to
lowland is less; the- opportunities .for ex
pansion of productive territory through
the aid of Irrigation are fewer. But with
these limitations Lake County shares the
conditions which have just been set forth.
It is part of the- same great plateau, and
it shares In the circumstances of climate,
soil and general condition which have
been ect forth with special reference-to Its
Immediate neighbor. And .while ' drier
than Klamath County, It is far from being
a waterless region. .Very considerable
streams flow through it, and the presence
of several large natural reservoirs, of
which Goose Lake is the greatest, bear
testimony -to the water resource of- the
country.. Here, as In Klamath County,
stock feed produced with the aid of irri
gation Is the chief production, and the
beef steer io the chief object of Industry.
Between the twin counties of Klamath
and Lake, lying as they do side by side,
sharing in the same general conditions
and traditions and working by similar
means to' the same ends. there Is a curious
fioclal difference. Klamath, the more
westerly county. In Its domestic habit,
tone and feeling is Oregonlan; Lake, by
the same tokens, is Callfornlan. . A vis
itor who knows the sensibilities which
mark the people cf the two states In
stantly recognizes the social variance as
he moves from one county into another.
It Is not to be accounted for by compari
son of general conditions, for the con
dition of one Is practically the condition
of the other. The explanation lies In the
fact that the first Immigration of Klam
ath County came from Oregon, while the
first to occupy the more easterly and rela
tively newer district of Lake were large
ly from California. In tho former the
domestic tradition harks back to Jackson
ville and to the green land of the Willam
ette; In the latter It traces to the Sacra
mento. In one county, as In the other,
the pioneer condition and the pioneer
spirit prevail. Both are prosperous In
the same way, but It Is a primitive way a
way which makes relatively few homes,
which leaves wide reaches of country
without a single homestead, which reck
ons all things by their relations to a single.
Industry and which of necessity post
pones the things of advanced civilization
to an indefinite future, to the time when a
railroad shall bring the country Into a
natural and easy connection with tho
outside world. A. H.

GALLS FOR WARSHIPS
MINISTER BOWEN WAISTS MORE
PROTECTloW FOR AMERICANS.
Situation In Venezuela . Is Grave
City of Valencia Is Doomed Pres
ident Castro la Surrounded.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. United States
Minister Bowen, of Caracas, has cabled
the State Department, asking that one or
perhaps two warships be sent to rein
force the gunboat Marietta .at La Guayra,
In .view of the present critical situation
which has arisen at the Venezuelan cap
ital. Some time ago, when President Castro
left his capital, Minister Bowen expressed
to the State Department his fears that an
occupation of the capital by the revolu
tionary forces would result In rioting and
pillaging, and be attended with great dan
ger to unprotected foreigners. Such' a
situation, it is Inferred here, is again Im
minent. It Is possible that either the Panther,
now at Colon, or the Cincinnati, at pres
ent In Haytlen waters, will be ordered
from their present stations and sent to
the Venezuelan capital.
The following cablegram, received at the
State Department this morning from Min
ister Bowen, dated last night at Caracas,
shows the critical condition of affairs in
the' field:
"The army is still near Valencia. No
particulars obtainable. Valencia Is close
ly surrounded and battle going on now."
VALENCIA APPEARS TO BE DOOMED
Castro Gets Ont of One Tight Place,
to Be Snrronudcd Again.
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Oct. 15. News
has been received here from Caracas that
the battle near La Victoria, between the
forces of President Castro, numbering 4100
men, with 15 guns, and the Venezuelan
revolutionists, which began Monday
morning, has so far been, without definite
results. General Matos, the leader of the
revolution, and General Mendoza were
not present. The only rebel Generals en
gaged were Guevcra, TorreE, Crespo and
Antonio Fernandez, who had with them
about 3100 men, representing the advance
guard of the revolutionists. President
Castro twice led a charge In person, and
showed great courage and coolnes3. His
Lleutenant-General, Alcantar, who was at
one time at the West Point Military Acad
emy, was mortally wounded. The gov
eminent forces had 247 men killed, while
the revolutionists lost 310 men. Among
the latter was General Guevenu
The arrival at the scene 01 battle at 5
o'clock Monday afternoon of Vice-President
Gomez, with S00 men and a large
amount of ammunition, saved the situa
tion for the government. At that time
the odds were greatly against President
Castro, but the arrival of the reinforce
ments improved his position. The fight
started again Tuesday, and at 10 o'clock
in the morning Castro retired to La Vic
toria. At 1 o'clock the fighting ceased on
both sides.
News of the engagement having reached
Generals Matos and Mendoza, they has
tened to the scene and arrived at a point
near La Victoria yesterday with the rest
of the revolutionary army, which num
bers about 000. The reinforcements under
Matos and Mendoza Intended to take part
In the renewal of hostilities today. Pres
ident Castro appears to be surrounded by
his enemies. The town of El Conseje,
which lies back of La Victoria, Is occu
pied by the revolutionists.
Valencia Is supposed to be doomed. The
town was attacked by General Rlera on
Monday and Tuesday. The government
cannot receive relnforcoments from Car
acas, as the German railroad from there
to Valencia Is held by rebels.
Those who were wounded In the fight
ing are still without medical assistance or
care. They He on the battlefield as they
fell, and the scene there Is one of great
horror.

tinctlon. He Is the recognized leader of
his party, and while his views on the
railroad question are In perfect harmony
with those of Governor McBrlde so far as
the need of a railroad commission is con
cerned, yet It could not be expected that a
Republican Governor would select as the
Democratic member of a nonpartisan com
mission a man vory active In politics or
greatly consumed by personal ambition,
unless something were given In return. A
man, of more retiring disposition would
be chosen. Therefore Turner must help
to pass the commission bill.
Main Fight in the Senate.
' There are four Democrats who are hold
overs In the next Senate, and others may
be elected, and It Is now anticipated that
In the Senate will be the main brunt of
the fight against the railroad plans of
Governor McBrlde. Heretofore the Dem
ocratic Senators have been counted as on
the railroad side. The reason for this
calculation Is obvious: Republicans- will
be In control and. the Democrats would.
In the absence of other considerations,
think It a good political coup to aid the
dominant party In repudiating Its plat-'
form pledges But It Is believed that
Turner could deliver the Democratic
votes In tho Senate to the McBrlde bill,
and, as It has all.aiong been conceded by
the railroad men that the Senate will be
close on the question, the reported chang
ing of at least four votes from the pre
vious estimates will, lessen the number of
predictions of railroad success.
Moreover, It Is believed that rather than
have the record show that the minority
in the Senate forced, the Republican party
to stand by its party platform, Repub
licans who are now wavering would, If
they saw Indications of such an occur
rence, cast their fortunes with the Mc
Brlde side.
If such an agreement has been entered
Into, It shows that" Governor McBrlde
realizes that the' whole battle was net
won when tho state convention adopted a
railroad conimlsslon plank dictated to
conform to his Ideas. The Governor Is
very quick to condemn any Imputation
that the Republican party will not stand
by the convictions and promises expressed
in its state platform, yet he knows from
experience the power of the railroad
lobby, and by the Turner agreement he
has strengthened the commission bill In
the Legislature, at little If. any expense to
himself.
While the agreement Is said to Include
the members of the lower house as well
as the Senate, a great deal of Importance
Is not attached to that feature regarding
Its significance toward the railroad fight,
because the lower house Is conceded to
McBrlde anyway; but the deal Is reported
GOVERNOR of SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble
EX-GOVERNOR
Ex-Unlted States Senator and ex-Governor M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, In
a recent letter to the Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C, says:
"I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I
have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very
much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good
tonic." M. C. Butler.
Catarrh of the Stomach Is General
ly Called Dyspepsia-Something
to Produce Artificial Diges
tion Is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin. and
Host of Other Digestive Reme
dies Have Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat of the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh of
" the Stomach.
This Deranges the System So That
Proper Digestion Cannot
Take Place.
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
Is to remove tho catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artifi
cial digestion. It cures catarrh and
leaves 'the stomach to perform digestion
In a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than- resorting to artificial
methods. X - ,
Peruna has cured metre case3 of dys
pepsia than all other remedies combined,
simply because it cures catarrh wherever
located. If catarrh is located In the hiad.
Peruna cures It, If catarrh has fastened
Itself In the throat or bronchial tubes.
"Peruna cures It. When catarrh becomes
settled In the stomach, Peruna cures It,
as well in this location as any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dys
pepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Pe
runa cures dyspepsia because it is gen
erally dependent upon catarrh.

A. C.Lockhart, corner Cottage street
and Thurston Road, Rochester, N. Y.,
writes:
"I am nearly 44 years of age, was born
and raised In Rochester, N. Y., and have
been unlucky enough to be among the
poor and obliged to work for a living.
"About 15 yeara ago I commenced to be
to include the throwing of the Democratic
strength to Harold Preston In the vote
for a United States Senator. Corrobora
tive evidence of this is found in the- fact
that certain Democratic nominees for the
Legislature from King County have
openly declared thit If elected they will
vote for Preston. It la not to be supposed
that all Democratic members, beginning
with the first ballot, are to plump In
their votes for Preston. They are to be
reserved for a critical time in a deadlock
that may arise If the Republicans do not
settle tho Senatorial question In caucus,
Turner will be given the complimentary
vote of the minority for a time, and then,
If the critical moment arrives whon tho
'minority can turn the tide, they will
break the deadlock that Is interfering
with legislation and save the state.
There is some doubt expressed that all
Democrats will look with favpr upon such
an agreement. It may, however, become
an Important factor in the Spokane
County campaign, where the Democrats
are miking an antl-Wilson crusade, and
are charging the Republican Legislative
candidates with Insincerity on the rail
road commission question.

VETERAN, ADMIRAL DEAD

Oldest Living Officer of HI Itanlc in
Any Navy in the World Son
a Retired Admivnl.
BOSTON, Oct 15. Rear-Admlral Thomas
O. Selfridge. Sr.. U. S. N., retired, died
at the McLean Asylum at Waverly today.
He was probably the oldest living officer
of that rank In any navy of the world,
and there Is no other navy which had two
Admirals, father and son, both retired.
The elder Admiral was born In Massachu
setts, and was appointed to the Navy from
that state on January 1. 1818. The son,
Rear-Admlral Thomas O. Selfridge, was
born February 1C, 1S36, and Joined the
Navy dt the age of 15. The second eldest
ron Is Commander James Russell Sel
fridge, born July 11, 1849, and In the Navy
since 1S&1.
curing the senior Selfrldge's earlier
days he made Borne voyages In merchant
vessels, as the Navy was considerably re
duced In ships for many years after the
War of 1812, and there was but scant em
ployment of th.i officers. He took an active
part in the Mexican War, and was se
verely wounded.
When the Civil War broke out Com
mander Selfridge was too far advanced in
years to accept active duty at sea, and he
was assigned as Commandant of the Mare
Island navy-yard, 1S62-64, and again In
1373. In the latter year all retired officers
were withdrawn from active service, and
Admiral Selfridge resided at Georgetown,
S. C. but fcr many years he paid annual
visits to San Francisco, where he had two
sons residing.
