THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Secretary Endi-
colt, in his annual report, alludes feel
ingly to the death of Gen. Sheridan,
which he says deprived the army of a
chief p~re-eminently fitted for such a
command, whose wide experience, ready
resources and personal qualities made
him q tower of strength in council and
action.
The secretary again invites the atten-
tion of congress to the defenseless condi-
tion of our seacoast and lake fronts. It
appears more important than ever that
immediate and liberal action in this di-
rection should be taken by the coming
session OF congress, in view OF the fact
that the last session gave appropriations
for the construction OF heavy ordnance.
For the construction of needed defenses
in which to place these new runs an APP
preparation Of $40, 900 is asked. Torpe-
does and submarine mines, the secretary
says, are now acknowledged by all ma
tious to be absolutely necessary to the
efficient defense of harbors and seaports;
and for the purchase Of these and the
necessary appliances for operating them,
and for experimenting to ascertain the
best OF the many torpedo inventions, an
appropriation of 81, 800, 900 is recon-
mended. sf It s5tti Ia :
Under the provisions OF the army bill
for the procurement of pneumatic
dynamite guns, the necessary specifica-
lions are. now being prepared, n i'd
v~ertisements for proposals will issue
early this month for guns ofl6-inch CALI
bre, to throw projectiles carrying a
charge OF about 500 pounds OF explosive
gelatine.
Secretary Endicott renews the recon-
mendation made in previous reports for
the appointment5of an assistant secre-
tary Of war. Such an officer is impera-
lively needed, he says, for the proper
and efficient administration of the de-
partment.
The secretary estimates appropriations
for the war department for the year end
ing June 80, 1890. at s44, 632, 500. This
Includes $26, 2s3, 872 for the military
establishment, and $iS 49,, 234 for public
works and river and harbor improve
ments. The appropriations for the last
fiscal year amounted to al, ta5y10T, and
for the current year $50, 819, 1874. a

insurance, but the jury brought i'll YER
diet for him of Sl70O.
