I.NLISTMEXT OP INDIANS A SUCCESS
Washington-, Xor. 20. In his annual
report, Secretary of "War Proctor says:
lu the line of coast defense, sites tor forti
fications have been procured, and engineer
ing work lias been begun on batteries .lor
mortars, and emplacements lor guns, at
Xcw lork, Boston, San Francisco, Hampton
Roads and Wa-lilngton. Tlie north -ning
and center section ol tho gun factory at
Watenlict lias been completed and is
nearly equipped. A south w115. doubling
the capacin, i- now being constructed,
l'ronsiou has altcady been made for the
manufacture by tho Government of IS
breech-loading steel lified guns of high
rower, and 100 niore liae been contracted
for with pruate manulaeturcrs. A supply
of subinaune mines and i 12 inch mortal's
are.aUo under contraction
For the impiovemtnt of the enlisted force
new methods of recruiting hae been
adopted. It is carried on more in small
tou ns and business communities, and the
recruits are held on probation and their
antecedents carclully inquired into. The
lation has been increased by the addition
of one pound of vegetable1 daily. Soldiers
aie non entitled to a discharge at the end of
three years of laithf ul service, and aie per
mitted to purchase their discharge at any
time after one j ear. "-umuiary courts liae
been established lor the speedy trial of petty
offenses.
.An Inducement for Manufacturers.
Certain pro i-ions in the last two fortifi
cation acts were designed to induce private
manufacturer in this country to co-operate
with the jroeiiinicnt in fabricating guns as
well as 111 supph ing the steel forgings. Ad
vantageous bid- wcic received and aeon,
tract made with the Bethlehem Companv
, n- l 1. t.n in . .- .
lnch guns.
lhi contract, and the output or the gun
factory troin forgings already under con
tract, provides for the manufacture of 193
breech-loading steel rifle guns of high
pon er. 6i of Much caliber, 83 of 10-inch, and
W) of 12-inch Four have been finished, two
fc-inch, one 10 inch and one i:-incb; 24 more
w ill be finished in 1S0J. SI in 1S93, 40 in 1891,
when themachineij of the gun factory will
be nearly complete. Thereafter thciecan
lie manufactured about 43 per year, and
the deliveries from the Bethlehem
loo-gun contract will be eight
to 14 yearly, according to the proportion of
fmall or larse caliber. Beside the 19S, for
w hich provision ha already been made, if
forging? are unplied to the gun factory, 350
more gun- can be turned out within the next
len years, and mostly of 10 and 12inchca)
bcr. I believe the-e figures tobeconserva
tie, and that the actual results will be
greater, for with expoi ionce in the manufac
ture the woik should piogrcss moie lap
idly. Considerable Work in Progress.
Two battories, cacn for 16 12-inch mortars,
and emplacements for two 12-iuch, two 10
inch and fourS-iiich guns arc now in pro
cess of construction for the dufense-of Ncn
Yoik; also one battery for 18 12-inch mortars
arid emplacements lor one 10-inch gun, with
tw o niore in prcnaration, at Boston; and em
placements tor two KMnch guns, with one
10 inch and thiee 12 inch in preparation at
Sin Francisco: tor two 10 inch guns at
Hampton Roads, and for two 10-inch guns
at Washington. Progress Ins also been
rr.ide in providing a suitable supply
of Mibmaime mines. A considerable
number are on hand or under
contract for the defense of New York, San
Francisco. Boston, Hampton Roads. Phila
delphia, Washington and Chaileston, and
some 01 ine mining casemates lor ojerating
them arc conmleted or under contract at
tl.e-c ports and at Portland, 31c. Contracts
lia e also been mads for the cnily deliverv
orTS IS inch cas'-iron rilled mortars, hooped
with stool, ,it a pattern known to be service
able, though piobabl not equal toan all
steel construction now under test.
The department has been obliged, on ac
count of the financial embarrassment of the
contractors to extend the time untilJan
uary. April and Juts-, I'M, for the delivery
of the ten ami- contracted for with tlie
Pneumatic Pvnnmite Gun Company for
f-.mdr Hook Fort suj lcr.Fort Wan en and
tan Francisco.
Desertions Rapidly Growing Fewr.
Considerable space is given to the snb
Jcct ol desertions, concerning which the
Secretary Fays:
Desertions from the army for the year
ending September 30, have been less than in
any otherear m the history of the aimy.
Previou- top-20 there are no leliable record",
but fi 0111 that time till the beginning of the
War ot the Bebclliou the a. erase annual
rate of desertion was 14 6 per cent of the
enlisted strength, and since the war it has
1een neiilj the same Fiom January L
1CC7. to June SO 191 ii a cars, the number
of desertions troin the armywa 88,175. It
lias cost the i,in emment a"very large sum
forpa, clothing, subsistence and transpor
tation of leeruits to reidacc these men.
Tor the ear ending'.Iune 30, ISifl, the rate
waslK.pei tent.foi tlie i car ending June
ro. I"". -Mir cent: tor the j ear ending June
30 vn. ". 1 per cent riming the 12 months
ending September. "JO g')l, the l-ate wasonly
S-percent jnd foi a like period ending Oc
tober 31.5 7 per cent The diminution is
still go.ng oiMnd the percentage is being re
duced ii.orth bv month. CJreat asthereduc
t'on has been, howeicr, there is no good res
son whj de-eriion should not be reduced
to 3 or even 2 pei cent Probably they can
not 1 reduced below 2 per cent. This much
will ha e to be charged to the perversity of
human nature and the ineradicable lcstless
iiessof the American people.
Indian Enlistment a Success.
Concerning the enlistment of Indians
a regular soldiers, Secretary Troctor says:
It was not deemed ad isahle to urge In
dians into the service hastilv, and special
efforts have been made to ininrm them of
tee responsibilities they would incur and
the duties that would be required of them as
soldiers. The results have been verv satis
factory. Seen cimpinics, three of cavalry
nud tour of luluntry, nave been recruited to
their full complement and seven others par
tially, and the lepoi ts indicate that the or
ganization of these will be completed at an
ail dav. I haie had an opportunity to
peisonally inspect some of these Indian cav
alry troop, and have received lull reports
showing the condition of others. In food
conduct, drill and militaiy bearing, atten
tion to dutv. observance of courtesies, and
care of, horses, arms and equipment, cloth
ina, barracks, mes rooms and kitchens,
they aie at least equal to soldiers ot other
races of no greater experience.
The regular estimates for the medical de
partments will he about ?150,000 less than
last j ear, "due to economy in its administra
tion and to reduction in the number of con
tract surgeons" On the subject of post
traders tlie Secretary says:
On the 4th of Marci., 1SS9, there wereSS
post traders. Theie aie nowbnt 22. and
seen of llie have been notitied that their
licences will be rooked within a short time
at a date to IItcJ as to gn e them an oppor
tunity to sell or reduce their stocks. Four
01 the remaining 35 aie at posts who-e
abandonment has been ordered or soon will
be. so that at the end ot the fiscal year theie
will uconl 11 remaining. The parties who
held these im lieges had large personal and
political influence and it lias not been an
ay or a. pleasant task to make this ciiangc.
Not C.owl lor the Militia Service.
Speaking ot the militia sen ice the Secre
tary has this to say;
Tho present method of allotment of the
annual appropriation of100,C00 lor aiming
and equipping the militia, which is mo
tel ibcci b the act or February 12. 1S87 (24
Stats., 401), and which gives to each State an
amount proportionate to its Congressional
representation, is not auch as to produce the
best results. Tho aid given different States
ien disproportionate. Tlie amount of
o eminent aid received by some States is
not more than halt that leceived by others
that maintain double the number of men in
their Vitional Guard.
There is 110 inducement for the maintcn
anceofa gtciter number of militia than Is
actuallj required by the law, but rather the
rcversi n economy be consulted. The allot
ment as 111)5 made is not based upon what
the States do tu leturn for the appropria
tion, but what they ought to do. It would
be better to he!p those whohelp themselves.
If the apDi-opnation, oreven one-half of it,
was distributed upon the basis of the effec
tive foiceot the National Guard maintained
by the several States, it would better ac
complish its purpose ot encouraging that or
ganization. '.lore Money pdrl Next Tear.
The appropriations for the maintenance of
this department for the vearending.TuneSO,
lfcttJ, are ?3y,lty,425 05.' The Secretary es
timates the cost for the nest vcar at 543,
97o,tJ03 37. In conclusion, Mr. Proctor says:
Thecharacterand attainments of the older
oflicers of the annv, w ho made the'r record
during the great war, is too w ell understood
to require anj mention; but I wish to pay a
b ell-deserved tribute to the younger officer,
w ho have not had the great war opportuni
ty of theirseniors. Nothing in my connec
tion w ith the armv has gratilled ine so much
as thegcneral high character and profes
sional attainments of the younger officers of
the army, who have made the most of their
opportunities under the conditions of com
parathe peace. It is upon them that we
must depend in the future, and they can be
implicitly relied upon to bo equal to the re
quirements of any emergency.
As I am about to retire from this depart
ment, I desire to acknowledge the earnest
and loyal co-operation which I have at all
times "icceived in its administration fiom
all of it officers and officials, and the en
couragement and support which I have had
from j ou.

Deaths and Disaster at Sea Cyclonic
Itlasts for Seven Dajs.
New York, Xov. 20. .wia'. The
great gale that spread havoc on the English
coast, ten days ago, was at it worst when
the Xorth German Lloyd steamships Lahn
and "Wcrra steamed away irom Southamp
ton. No ember 11 for this port- The Lahn,
with 21S cabin and 4S9 steerage passengers
aboard, struggled against turbulent seas and
c clonic blasts for sev en days. Xo passen
ger got a glimpse of daylight except through
glass until tho day before the Lahn got here
with her funnels brine-encrustcd. Kvery
hody was kept between decks, and every
body, except the transatlantic shell-back,
was'sick.
The rolling and pitching of the ship
caused many minor casualties. A steerage
passenger broke his leg, and two men in
the second cabin were badlv bruised. The
crests of seas broke over the vessel inces
santly while ihe storm was at its height,afid
sw ept the decks fore and aft.
l"our days ago Mrs. 'Vilheln)ina"Wen7eI,
a steerage passenger, b0 years old, died, pre
sumably of kidney disease, aggravated by
sea sickness. She was buried at sea. The
steamship company will return the money
paid for the mother's ticket to her boys who
were with her.
The experience of the "Werra was about
the same as that of the Lahn. She left
Bremen a dav earlier, November 9, but
waited at the Needles, out of Southampton,
for the storm to abate. As it showed r.o
signs of doing so, she followed the Lahn to
see. covering nearly the same course. The
ship were within sight of each other sev
eral days. The Lahn covered 3,053 miles
and the AVcrra 3,051 miles.
The AVerra carried 120 cabin and 1,020
steerage passengers. Four women in the
steerage died from maladies developed by
the stormv voyage. Francesea Micheska
succumbed to pneumonia November 12,
.Tosepha Hufka died of Bright's disease
November 10, Kunegunde Imbele. aged Gl,
died of heart disease and Dorothea Mul
lules died of apoplexy Thursday.

were thrown out by the Democratic election

of Mr. Deane was very sudden, the cause
being neuralgia of the heart.

Is it necessary to pay an
exorbitant price to your
merchant tailor to get new
and nobby styles?
We think we have settled
that question effectually,
nailed the doors shut and
scuttled the high'-priced
idea.
We are intent on trade
getting, and go step by
step up to the finest grades
in foreign and domestic
goods, with easy prices to
pay.
The fact that we are
giving full value for every
dollar left widi us accounts
for the satisfaction of buy
ers, and the increasing
business in our Tailoring-to-Order.
Please give us a trial.
