THE ARMY.
General sheridan,s Report on the Con,

General Shcridans Report on the Condi-
ton of Our Forces-Some Suggestions.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Lieutenant-Ger
eral Sheridan, in his annual report to the
Secretary of War, states that at present
the army is composed of 2,102 officers and
23,946 men. Sympathetic reference is made
to the death of General Hancock, the aban-
donment Of several small forts is an
nounced, and the furthering of this course
is advised. Considerable space is devoted
t. history of the Arizona Indian troubles,
and it is made clear that the disposition of
these Indians in August last was advised
by General Sheridan in November, 1885, but
was not carried out because of General
Crooks opposition. Diplomatic phrases
cover distinct evidence of radical differences
OF opinion between General Sheridan and
General Crook, which ceased only
with General Crooks assignment to
another department The decrease
in assertions is commented on and
is attributed to the beneticent legisla-
ton which provides for the retirement of
enlisted men after long and faithful serv-
ice, and it is suggested that the crime of
desertion could be almost entirely pre-
vented by indelibly marking with India ink
every man convicted by court martial, as
the majority of assertions are found
to be committed by professionals"
The report repeats the recommends
tions made last year that each Indian
family be gwen 800 acres Of land in the res
ervation, and the remainder of the land be
purchased from them at 81. % per acre; the
amount to be put In Government bonds, to
be held in trust by the Interior Department,
the interest on the bonds to be devoted to
the support of the Indians. The interest
would amount to s4,4SO,00O, which exceeds
by $660,0O0 the sum now appropriated for
their support

its. He also calls attention to the necessity
of legislation to remove the present dis
elimination against retail liquor deal
ers in the matter of penalties, of fine and
imprisonment for dong business without
payment Of the required special tax, and
the urgent necessity for the passage of the
bill to amend the revised statutes by repeal
ing the section allowing collectors of in
ternal revenue commissions on taxes col
lected on distilled spirits

Sensational Story of Wholesale Murder
in Canada-The Paramour of a Faith
less Wife Fatally Stabs Her, and Kills
Her Husband and Four Other Members
of the Household. u.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16-The Tribune publishes
especial from White River, Ont, which
tells story almost too horrible for belief.
It says Richard K. C'Brien arrived there
some weeks ago seeking work. After
short time he obtained employment, and
soon became acquainted and very intimate
with Mrs. Williams, wife of store-keeper
Living in the same family with Mr.. and
Mrs Charles Williams were the father and
mother of the husband as we'll as three
small children of the wife. Williams sus-
petted his wife Of infidelity and laid trap
to catch her, Taking the train yesterday for
CEaplean, Ont, he left word that he would
beabsent over night, but instead Of going to
his destination he took the return train
from a way station and so arrived home
aboul seven o'clock last night. Proceed
ing to his house he opened the outer door
with latch-key and entered Going to his
room he found there his wife in company
with O'Brien. Taking heavy walking
stick, which he carried, he dealt the in
treder a blow upon the face. O'Brien
quickly recovered himself and drew re-
volver and shot Williams dead
The noise attracted the other occupants
OF the house, and TO shield his crime
OBrien shot the father as he was entering
the room partially dressed. Having no
more cartridges, as the old lady put in an
appearance and screamed, startled by the
sight of her husband lying weltering in his
lies blood, the murderer seized a heavy
chair and struck a cruel blow which
laid her senseless before him. To
conclude the work he beat her until her
head was reduced to pulp with heavy
stDk of stove wood procured from an al
joining room. Two of the three children
wee then disposed of with the same club
which ended the existence of the old lady.
The little boy, the youngest, and only
eighteen months old, was spared, as he
colld bear no evidence against the MUIR

Instant death if she ddd not keep quiet, and
after the murder the wretch remained with

pocket, stabbed her four times about the
region of the heart and left her for dead.
He then fired the house and left hur-
riddly. Attracted by the flames neigh
sors came to the relief and succeed

lived long enough to make a statement of
the affair to the authorities and then ex-

scene of the tragedy. He denied the crime,

There are, however, many circumstances
against him, and it is more than probable
the murderer will be lynehed.
