sHERMAN's FAREWELL REPORT.
The Army's Interest in the Country's Great
Prosperity.

The Army's Interest in the Country's Great
Prosperity.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The last annual re-
port of General Sherman is in the hands of
the Secretary of War. The army consists OF
ing almost indentical with those of last year.
General Sherman considers Crooks Apache
campaign a success, and thinks that if Crook
is permitted to manage the Apaches in his
own way, all wars will cease in Arizona
and the complicated Indian question will
disappear
The subject OF military education is treated
at some length, and the opinion is expressed
that the Military Academy at West Point
and practical schools at Fort Monroe and
Leavenworth are among the best schools in
the world.
The Indians are regarded as substantially
eliminated from the problems OF the country,
and while the army and Immigration CON
tributed largely to this result,
the railroad which used to follow
in the rear and now goes forward with the
picket line in the great battle of civilization
with barbarism has had greater influence.
The recent completion of the last of four great
trascontinental lines of railway settled
forever the Indian question the army ques-
ton, and many others which bad bitherto
troubled the country. The General regards
the building of these roads the most import
ant event of modern times, and believes that
they account fully for the peace good order
and prosperity of the country. The recon-
mendaton of last year is renewed that the
strongest points be enlarged and minor
places be abandoned. The soldier, says Gen
eral Sherman, must be treated as fellow
man. Let him live in comfort and he will
respond to the call OF duty, even to death.
When the soldier is employed as a carpenter
mechanic or other laborer it is only fair that
he should be paid for such labor
Because of the transfer of the command to
General Sheriden no recommendations for
the future are made other than renewing
such as have been made in former reports
The opinion is expressed, however, that it
would be found wise to provide a common
organization for all arms in service; that
Congress should provide for the transfer OF
regiments from remote to home sections,
after fair period of service, In this con-
nectiOn particular attention is called 10 the
case of the Twenty-fir:t infantry, which has
been on the Pacific coast fourteen years,
The General hopes Congress will not with
hold means OF transportation in snch cases
especially now when the treasury is croaung
under surplus revenue caused in paIt Ov
the conduct of the very men who appeal u
them; for he believes the army has protecreG,
defended and encouraged the building of
the transcontinental railways and the settle
ment of the great West, which are the chief
causes of the great prosperity that now
blesseS our land.

BOGUS COIN.

The Operations of the Counterfeiters During
the Past Two Years.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BooNvILLE, Ind, Nov 1.-For several
years there has been large circulation of
counterfeit coin through the wild region OF
country above here, stretching from the
northeastern part of Warrick county up
through a part of Pike Spencer, Du-
bois and Crawford counties, and through
the hills along the Ohio river Ar
rests have been made time after time,
but the circulation of the spurious
coin has never been entirely suppressed
Several of the men arrested have been con-
victed, but the organization was never
reached.
The men through whom the business has
been operated have nearly all been farmers
dependent upon the uncertain yield of few
acres for their subsistence. Most OF them
have been drawn into the business by lawless
and dishonest inclinations, but many of
them doubtless were pressed into it
by need, hoping blindly for the
luck of escaping detection. But,
as Mr.. John Oakhurst philosophically
remarks, "the only thing that we know about
luck is that it changes" and the change some
times gives justice chance. The. isolation
and wild character of the country has rather
precluded the probabilities of detection, and
the men who passed the spurious money
never ventured beyond their own villages.
The money mostly found its way into the
till of the village store-keeper.
In the last two years the operations
of the men who manufacture
the coin have been much more
extensive than ever before. Besides
supplying all that was circulated through
the Indiana countless they have been selling
large quantities to the showers of counter
felt in neighboring States. The coinage has
been remarkably well executed and has been
sold at price far below that which is usual
ly charged. The denominations manufac-
tured have been half dollars and dollars in
silver, and two and half and five dollar
pieces in gold. 1t has been sold at 20 per
cent, while the customary price has been
40 per cent. The business OF counter
feting is divided into three branches-the
manufacturers the jobbers and the retailers.
The manufacturer sells the money in bulk
to either the jobber or retailer, and the job
Der generally keeps supply which he sells
at profit to the men who are known as
Showers" i. e., the men who pass the money.
The shower is the one who runs the great
est risk of being detected and punished,
while the others are reached only by shrewd
detective work. In Indiana the manufactur-
ing business has been conducted on
large scale AS much as $1,000
of counterfeit coin has been sold in week,
and it is estimated by the secret-service Off
GERS that they have put in circulation, since
they have been in operation, between $780,
600 and $75, 900 in bad money, large part
of which, however, has been sold to the
counterfeiting bands outside of Indiana.

vicinity, were brought in. News reached

one mile of Stenda. Another detail OF
officers was made to capture him. He
was found and brought in at 4:30 O'Clock,
when the party started to Huntingburg

board the train and were brought directly
through to indianapolis last evening.
Houchins was wounded in the thigh, aud
was unable to move to-day, while in the
train, without assistance. He is very badly
hurt.
This makes the third time that Lum
HOuchins has been arrested on the charge of
counterfeiting. He has been the terror of
the people in the section of country where
he lived. There are five warrants out in
Pike county for his arrest, but the officers
have been afraid To try to take him into Gus
tody. a short time ago he met an old
man on the highway in Pike county and
robbed him of $165. He had fixed tonight
as the time for robbing grocery store in
Stendale. He was confined in the Indian
apolis Jail a short time ago awaiting
trial on the charge of counterfeiting,
and his brothers, Jesse and Joe
were about to make an effort to assist him
in escaping by furnishing him surreptitious-
lY with tools for escape, but were prevented
by Jack Killian, the detective, notifying the
sheriff of their intentions WE.

to the statute authorizing the President to
drop from the rolls OF the army for desertion

without leave so as to include officers on the
retired list within the meaning of the
law. The last recommendation has bear
ing on the NickersOn case. In order
to reduce the number OF dcsertionS it is pro-
posed that the term of service be fixed ut
three years instead of five. 1t is suggested
that increased pay for re-enlisting be made 20

BoQNvILLE, Ind, Nov. AFTER having
developed the case and fastened the evidence
of guilt upon every member of the gang, the
preparations for the raid were made Doc.
Henderson, as Detective Hobbs was known,
confided the information to the Houchins
boys that some new counterfeit currency,
which il was impossible to distinguish from
the genuine, was being issued in Iowa.
well, that's just the thing that we want to
get hold Of" the Houchins said, land if
you can get any we will buy some from
you" The Doctor" therefore, proposed to
make iIip to Iowa to get some of the new
paper counterfeit, and fixed the time for his
return the last day of October 1t was ar
ranged that on Wednesday evening they
should meet at the house of Joe Houchins,
in Pikevlle, Pike county, when Henderson
would bring his DOODLE" and deal would
be made. Jack Killian, it was proposed,
should also be there on that evening.
Il may not get in until little late, but"
Henderson assured them. "TIl be there
sure, and you must too"
"All right; We'll be there and We'll have
supper waiting for you"
The programme was to take in the other
members of the gang separately after the
capture of the Houchins boys, with whom
it was apprehended there would be some
trouble.
On Tuesday evening fourteen strange men
dropped into Boonville. From appearances
they might have been mistaken for party
of desperate men-probably murderers, rob-
bers, or-deputy United States marshals
Some of them were suspected of being ga M

Illinois and Iowa to the Union, nor the acts
