are expected
A heavy rain during the past twenty-four

General Bent, Chief of Ordnance u S. A., is to.
day made public. The total expenditures of the
bureau during tho fiscal year ended June 80.
1885, were 81, $685. During the year 40, ,657
rifles, carbines and shotguns have been manu-
factured at the national armory. The increased
interest in the regular army in target firing and
its results are referred to- General Bent calls
attention, also, to the unorganized condition of
the militia of the District of Columbia, being
made up of separate companies, with no general
head, and suggests that this should be remedied
with view to the defense of the capital. should
the emergency arise.
referring to the subject of coast defenses he
urges that the protection of our seaboard is a
matter of many years of time, and vast sums Of
money, and as the necessity for it is recognized
he urges that the government should set about
it without delay.
AS to the forging of heavy cannon he says that
he believes the iron men OF the country would
undertake to get the necessary plant in read-
ness within year. and that within eighteen
months they could begin to deliver the rough
finished forgings.

men will become entitled to increased pay under

general much pleasure to state that the number
of desertions from the army during the past year
has sensibly decreased, being 745 less than the
number stated in his last report The General
proceeds to enumerate the principal causes for
desertion, and the remedies therefor. He also
touches upon the army schools, and suggests inn
provements in their methods. He believes that
the regulations by which promotions to field po-
sitions are made should be changed, SO that the
officer promoted may be assigned to some other
regiment in the same arm of the service, in

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 30.-During the past
month ''bob-tail" street-cars have been robbed in
the outskirts of the city twelve or thirteen times

ion, has covered the driver with his revolver and

tanning SIS in change On Wednesday night
the hghwayman robbed driver in North
Omaha, although the car was full of passengers.
The robber covered the car with his revolver
and backed into the darkness making his escape.

same locality, but the driver, instead of handing
over the cash-box as he had been ordered to do,
pulled revolver, and the two men fred stimuli

The Bureau of Labor Statistics.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-In his first annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior upon the
operations of the Labor Bureau since it's estab-
lishment, Commissioner Carroll D. Wright
begins with statement of the organization Of
the bureau and review of the line of policy out
lined for the conduct of it's business. The prin~
cipal features of that policy were refusal to
recognize parties, that the bureau should be dis
connected with politics and from dependence on
organizations, whether of workingmen or of EN-.
ployers, and from the support of economic
theories. individual views or class interests The
commissioner believes that this policy generally
has been approved throughout the country
Between March IL and June 80 twenty separate
agents were appointed, and at the close of the
fiscal year fifteen of these agents were en-
ployed in the United States and five
in Europe. collecting the information required.
The results of the Investigations will be en-
bodied in the first annual report of the bureau.
which will be submitted early in the coming
year. The appropriation for the expenses of tho
bureau for the year ended June 80. 1885, was
ample for it's expenses and nearly $4,000 was
covered into the Treasury. In conclusion the
commissioner says that the appropriation for
the present fiscal year will. in his Judgment
suffice for the first full years work of the
bureau.

The German Elections.

BERLIN, Oct 30-Berlin will be represented
in the next Parliament by nine outspoken Lib
erals, as hitherto Yesterdays elections passed
off quietly. Returns from the provinces are in
complete, but, as far as is known, no great
changes have been made 1t appears that the
Conservatives have failed to obtain the neces-
sary increase in order to secure majority in the
Diet. They triumph in Pomerania, Branden-
burg and Eastern Prussia, except in the princi-
pal towns, which were carried by the German
Liberals. The ciericals retain their former
strength in Westphala and the Rhine provinces.

British Politics.

LONDON, Oct 30.-The Marquis of Harting-
ton has issued an electoral address, in which he
says it is imperative that the union of Great
Britain and Ireland be maintained at any price.
He says, how ever that he is prepared to support
measures looking to the extension of local self
government and will still vote with the Liberal
party. The Daily News, referring to the adj
dress, says it conveys in a few words what Mr..
Chamberlain expressed with more amplitude.
The difference existing is one of method and
degree. not of principle. There is no hindrance
of both being in a Cabinet.
The Marquis of Harrington, speaking at Ack-
rinton tonight, said he was confident that the
result of the elections would be favorable to the
Liberal party, but in any event he would oppose
vigorously the proposed disestablishment of the
church.
Lord Randolph Churchill. in a speech at Bring
ham, warned the Conservatives that the Liber-
ais intended 20 wreck the church. He twitted
the Liberal leaders the apathy displayed by
them in regard to Indian affairs and on their op-
position to imperial federation.
Lord John Manners, Postmaster.general, was
to have delivered an address at leicester to-
night. When he attempted to speak he was re-
fused hearing, and, in the confusion that en-
sued, several heads were broken and many
chairs smashed
