At 'a regular lneetlnu ot Company B,
Thirteenth regiment. Wednesday even
ing, Feb. 23, 1S9S, Hie following was
adopted as the unanimous sentiment ot
every member present:
Tho time has coma when a new armory
la nut only advisable but an absolute
necessity, for the present and future wel
faro of tho regiment, as tho present
building i.i not adequate to our needs,
cither In size or convenience. Wo nro
heartily in favor of tho present Bite, be
lieving on account of lta central loca
tion, It will materially help tho attend
ance nt drills, and If mippllcd with pleas
ant company and reading rooms, as It
should be, It will bo better patronized
and appreciated by tho members. Forth
ermoio an armory on tho lot occupied
nt present would bo moro desirable as
a place for public gatherings, and would
Increase the revenues moro than enough
to Justify tho additional expense.
Wo- earnestly hope tho trustees and
public-spirited citizens will glvo this sub
ject tho consideration It deserves, and
that In a short time wo shall have an
nrmory, worthy of the leading regiment
of tho state; a prldo to tho city; a mon
ument to tho good judgment of the trus
tees and tho generosity of nn appreciative
public.

Tho project of securing1 a new ar
mory has been undertaken with groat
earnestness by tho local guardsmen,
but there Is a difference of opinion ns
to where tho now 'structure should bo
located. Many favor tho present site,
which Is very central, while others be
lieve that one less central would answer
all purposes Just as well, while the dif
ference l)ctween the market value of
tho land now owned by tho association
and the amount required for an armory
where land Is less valuable, would fur
nish a good-sized nucleus for a fund
for a new building.
The trustees have taken up tho mat
ter of securing a new armory and an
other meeting will bo held today to
consider tho matter. Plans for a mod
ern armory were prepared several years
ago and some pledges secured con
ditioned on tho entire amount neces
sary being secured. That was found
to be nn Impossible task at tho time
and tho Idea of erecting a new armory
was then abandoned for tho time be
ing. Whether or not better success will
nttend the agitation this time remains
to bo seen. Ono thing, however, is
quite certain, tho necessity for a new
armory Is generally realized and ap
preciated by the people of the city.
The present antiquated structure has
outlived its usefulness.
The live Thirteenth regiment armory
trustees will meet this evening In the
omce of Lieutenant Colonel C. Cf. Mat
tes to discuss the new armory project.
The captains of the city companies
and three headquarters representatives
will be present.
According to one of the trustees, they
have outlined no definite plan, but ono
of several has been quite favorably
discussed and will likely be adopted.
This plan Is one of subscription. It
Involves the appointment of a solicit
ing committee whoso members shall bo
all of the trustees, commissioned offi
cers of the regiment down to the rank
of captain and several Influential civil
ians. It Is proposed to prepare a list of
corporations, companies nnd Individ
uals who ought to contribute toward
the new nrmory fund. Each name on
the list will be assessed what should
bo the proportionate share of that par
ticular corporation, company or Indi
vidual, nnd the amounts will bo as
signed certain members of the com
mittee for collection. The amounts
will be made to total the sum actually
needed to build the armory.
The trustees do not havo In view any
fair, entertainment or similar enter
prise. The ofllcers of the Thirteenth regl-'
menthave had many a quiet 'smile dur
ing the week over some of tho wild
eyed wnr stories printed in the local
columns of papers of this city. There
Is little doubt that In the event of war
with Spain the National Guard of
Pennsylvania would bo called upon to
aHslst the regular troops and It Is equal
ly true that the soldier boys would
promp'tly respond t a call for their
services, but It Is nowise certain that
ther,e will be any necessity for invok
ing the aid of tho state troops, nor Is
there' anv truth in tho report about
secret'orders" sent out by General Snow
den to have tho national guard of this
state ready to move on twenty-four
hours' notice. Tho situation has not
yet reached such a serious stnge as to
warrant any such order.
In the National Guard throughout tho
union there are 114, 3G2 ofllcers and men,
whose general training Is such as to ad
mit 'of their being at onco put into the
Held provided the state or national
government will furnish tho necessary
equipment.
Tho dlffetent arms of the service nro
divided as follows; Engineers, si; env
alry, 4,83G; heavy artillery, 1,034; light
artillery, 5,010; machine gun batteries,
216; Infantry, 100,211; signal corps, 718;
hospital and umbulnnec corps, 970.
Tbe authorized strength of the Na
tional Guard, that Is, the strength the
forc.o would have If every oillcer and
enlisted man allowed by law were com
missioned or enlisted, varies from 13,000
In New York to 585 In Montana. In five
states Arkansas, Maryland, Nevada,
Tennessee and Wyoming theie Is no
fixed limit to the strength. The largest
organized strength Is that of New York

SOS. Tho time required for tho mobiliza
tion of tho troops, whether for servlqe
within tho state or for service beyond
Its borders, Is in most enso merely nn
estimate, but In several cases, notably
Illinois, Indiana, New York nnd Penn
sylvania, It Is based on actual exper
ience, when tho whole or tho greater
part of tho National Guard has been
called upon suddenly.
The time required for concentrating
the entlro command ranges from three
days In California and Oregon to
twelve hours In Connecticut, and threo
hours In the District of Columbia, for
service In Washington, ulthough
twenty-four hours would bo necessnry
If tho guard wero to bo used outside
tho District.
New York's infantry Is armed with
Springfield rifles, calibre thirty. In
Florida and Wyoming some Spring
field rifles, calibre Qfty, nre in use.
With these exceptions the Infantry
of all the states are armed with the
Springfield rifle, calibre forty-five, of
nil models, from that of 1873 to the
latest. The condition of the arms
ranges from excellent In Illinois and
the District of Columbia to very bad.
As a rule the condition is fair to good.
The armament of the most of the ar
tillery consists of Gatltng guns and ob
solete Held guns. In New York, Penn
sylvania, Vermont nnd Utah, the ar
tillery Is wholly or partly supplied
with 3.2-lnch breach-loading steel
rllled guns, nil of which are In good
condition.
Tho equipment of tho troops vnrles
very much In the different states, both
ns to completeness and condition. Some
states, notably Illinois, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania nnd Utah,
have their troops of all arms of the
service completely equipped, and their
equipments nre kept in good condition.
The personnel of tho ofllcers and en
listed men Is reported as being general
ly very good, and It Is said that noth
ing but practical experiences Is need
ed to give excellent results. Tho of
ficers are generally well selected, but
very largely lack experience, and do
not In some states sufllclently control
their men.
In nn interview General J. iP. S. Go
bin, commander of tho Third Brigade,
had. this to say about tho National
Guard of this state; "You can depend
upon it our National Guard would re
spond promptly and efficiently. They
are all soldiers and by that I mean all
that the name Implies. Why, do you
know that In my own brigade of 3,000
I havo met moro men qualified to act
as sharp-shooters than were In tho en
tire Army of the Potomac during the
war. That seems a very remarkable
statement but it is true and I guess
the other two brigades are as well
qualified as my own."
"You see this means everything,"
said tho general, as he proceeded to
diagram upon his kneo the method of
modern open warfare. "Things have
changed since the last war. In modern
fighting there will be no bayonet
charges and the firing will be done
at long range, so you see, good marks,
manshlp means cvrythlng. Then, an
other thing, the men In tho National
Guard know how to and do obey or
ders." "How many men could the National
Guard Supply?" asked tho reporter.
"The threo brigades of the National
Guard of Pennsylvania could put about
9,000 soldiers at the country's disposal
at a moment's call, and In twenty
four hours could place them in any
part of the state or at the sea-coast.
This number could be doubled In
twenty-four hours by the re-enllstlng
of men who have served full time In
the National Guard, so you see that
would mean eighteen thousand troops,
trained and well-equipped, and that,
sir, Is quite an army corps in Itself.
"Then, I believe the younger genera
tion would respond to our country's
call just as quickly as they ever did
in our nation's history. But we don't
want any war. It's a terribly barbar
ous thing," said tho general, and he
mused remlniscently for a moment, and
then added: "But there Is something
tremendously fascinating abcut army
life notwithstanding the awful Irss of
life and great sacrifice entailed. It ap
peals to every patriotic young man.
But we don't want any war as the out
come of mere sentiment. If our coun
try has been dishonored nnd our Ameri
can bailors murdered at the instigation
of Spanish' authorities, that is a differ
ent thing.
"Personally, I havo no use for the
Spaniard. Ho Is a cruel, baibarous ty
lant, and I don't want to see any good
American blood wasted upon a lot of
people who find their chief amusement
In bull-fighting. They'e not worth It,
unless some grave question of honor Is
at stake. Why, I was stationed down
at Key West during the war, and -when
Fome of us officers had enoutrh money
baved we used to go over to Havana
to spend It. They hated us then and
we used to often get In street fights
with those skulking devils, sometimes
or. piiiuiple nnd other times just on
purple." and the utneral spilled as
if ho had found Ilghtlns Spaniards in
tho streets of Havana In tho 'GO's any
thing but distasteful.
"Would our National Guard be an
adequate force to protect our sea
coast V" asked the reporter.
"Now. it teems to me," said the gen
eral, "that this defenseless American
coast business lias been greatly exag
gerated. Why, we are pretty well pro.
tected now and from what I read In
tho papers in another week we will be
practically safe from anv foreign at
rocities. Cuba would, I suppose, bo
the objective point noturally.and it is a
bad rlace to campaign In, If you could
orly select a teason outside rf the
rainy one, and districts outside of those
infested with yellow fever, It wouldn't
be sj bad You find a great many peo
ple crying for free Cuba, but thosa
samo perrons would bo much quicker
to hear u call to stay nt homo than
ono In the cauro of Cuba's freedom.
Now, ns 1 said before, I don't want to
see a lot of good American blood wasted
on those Spaniards. Why, it seems to
mo that If tliis country would simply
furnish Cuba with modern Implements
i'f warfare tho Insurgents would set
tle the Spanish claims to Cuba without
any need of outside help. Aren't they
doing It even with tho primitive equip
ments thty have now?"

Yougoul, tho Turkish Wrestler.
Yousout, tho Turkish champion
wrestler, who nrrlved In th'Is country
ix week ago, for tho purposo ot engag
ing In a Grnceo-Itomnn wrestling
match for the championship of the
world, Is determined to lose no time
In forcing Ernest lloebor or Evan
(Stranglcr) Lewis Into a match. Mr.
Doubller, his manager, snys that You
soiif's leave of nbsence, given by tho
Sultan of Turkey, will expire within
three months, and ithe necessity of a
match being made at onco Is apparent.
Yousouf has rosted $000 with' Richard
K. Fox as a preliminary step to Invit
ing negotiations with Itoeber, with
whom he Is first anxious to try conclu
sions. Anthony Pierre, himself a Greek
wrestler of note, who accompanies the
party ns Interpreter, said yesterday
that Y'ousnuf Is undoubtedly the most
accomplished wrestler In Turkey. He
Is a veteran soldier, and In the army
his prodigious strength won him rec
ognition from the Sultun, who estab
lished him In his palace as a personal
attendant. Youjouf Is 32 years, btands
f feet 2 In his stocking feet, and weighs,
In condition, 210 pounds. He dresses
In tho picturesque garb of his native
costume and attracts a great deal of
attention by reason of his enormous
height. Ho has been In Eusland,
Franco and Germany and has won
every match in which ho has partici
pated. Through the Interpreter he said tha
stories of Roeber's talents as a wrest
ler had reached him In the land of the
Sultnn, and he realized that the German-American
Is the one man in tho
world whom he has to defeat to win
International fame.
Michnei Roso Too Lntc.
Jimmy Michael, champion liicycle
racer, took his lit st lesson In his new
trade of race horse riding1 yesterday
morning at Philip J. Dwyer's stable at
the Oravesend track. Under tho
agreement the bicycle rider who wants
to become a jockey, made with Mr.
Pwyer, It was arranged that Michael
was to go to Gravi'send in the morn
ing ami put himself ui der the direction
of Trainer Frank McCabe, who would
break him in ns an exercise rider. Tt
was still morning when Michael made
his appearanco at the stable, but so
late that the little champion's chance
to see anything of stable work was
gono for the dav.
Tho horses had been out, had walked
and Jogged and had been put away
hours befor Jimmy appeared, at 11
o'clock, and so tho sum and substance
of tho knowledge acquired by the am
bitious little man was that to really
learn anything about riding lace hors
es he must rise earlier.
Trainer McCabe cordially received
tho middle-distance champion, nnd
Jimmy was taken through the stable
and saw the hordes. At noon ho had
a hearty racj track dinner In Trainer
McCabe's quarters. After th'at Mich
ael spent an hour or two with his In
structor, looking about and then re
turned to New York. While at Grave
send he secured a room convenient to
the Dwyer stables and arranged to
move In at once. There he will remain
ns an attache of the Dwyer stables un
til he is satisfied one way or another
as to what his future may be as a
Jockey.
Disappointment at Cornell.
The decision of Oxford and Cam
bridge universities not to accept the
American challenge for an interna
tional athletic meet has created much
discussion among the undergraduates
of Cornell university. Captain C. W.
Powell, of the Cornell Athletic asso
ciation, in an Interview, said:
"I am very sorely disappointed In
the decision that our English friends
reached, ns I had hoped that an Inter
national meet might be brought about.
Such an event would surely promote
college sport, and would lend great In
terest to general athletics. The objec
tion that Cambridge and Oxford would
have to meet the best athletes of a
largo number of our universities Is, I
believe, well taken. As to our com
parative status, however, I think that
the Englishmen have made a mistake
or havo been mislnormed. The fact
that our athletes won every event in
the international meet of '95 simply
shows superiority of our athletes nnd
not a lower status. From what I can
learn from old English athletes I am
lead to believe that tho standing of
umateurs In England Is much the same
as It Is here, for In either case pro
fessionals will creep In without being
discovered for a time. Treasurer Jack
son, of the Oxford club, Is reported to
have said that either of the English
universities would be glad to meet two
of our universities In particular. This
seems strange to me, Inasmuch as both
of these universities are governed by
the same eligibility rules as Is tho Inter-Collegiate.
Even at Cornell the
hopes of an International meet had
stimulated the athletic activity, and I
am sure the failure to bring It about
will be greatly regretted."
A prominent member of the Cornell
track team said: "When Oxford and
Cambridge universities attempt to
question tho amateur status of our
athletes they have undertaken a big
task. As regards objections to the
weight events I think there Is no ques
tion but that they should bo left as
they are. They are part of our ath
letlo events and theirs also. These
events should not be left out simply
because the Encllsh do not excel In
them."
McAlcer Mill I'lny with Spiders.
Centre Fielder James McAlcer has
not yet signed his nume to a Cleve
land contract, but he will play with
Cleveland this season. McAleer has
been convinced that his services are
wanted; that the club Is determined to
sign him. His talks with President
Roblson and Manager Tebeau have sat
isfied him that the best course to pur
sue was to continue with the local club.
He has practically agreed to remain,
"No, ho hasn't been signed yet," said
Secretary Mulr, "but he will sign." For
some time local base ball lovers have
believed that tho Youngstown man
would not wear a Cleveland uniform
this season, and there is no doubt that
ho felt thnt he was gone for good as
far as the Cleveland team wua con
cerned. But Tebeau said that he must
have him.

'Captain John Outland, ot the Uni

preliminary practice at F inklln Field,
beginning with March 1. Last spring
ex-Captain Minds had the foot ball men
out for practice, and the results were
so evident that the management has
determined to make the preliminary
work this spring more thorough than
It was last year. Only new men and
candidates for the line positions will
begin work Immediately. By new men
Is meant all those who were not mem
bers of last year's Varsity team so that
members of last fall'B scrub aio in
cluded In tho number ordered to ic
port. A short tlmo after preliminary
practice has been Inaugurated, candi
dates for quarterback and the lighter
positions will begin work. Practice will
take four days In each week, and will
consist of kicking, catching, passing
and falling on the ball, nil light In Its
natuie, but calculated to. strengthen
and harden the men's muscles. Tho
men will also do some running. One
of the principal reasons for making
tho prellmlnory work this spring more
of a training, process than usual Is to
obtain an Idea of tho best material
available for next fall's team.
