THE NATIONS DEFENDERS.
Points From the Adjutant Generals
Annual Report.

Adjutant General Kelton's first annual report
to the Secretary Of War was made public today.
II deals largely with the militia question.
He recommends that Congress be asked 70
authorixe-on the application Of the governor
Of state having an armed militia force of not
less than 5000 men-ths muster into the serv-
ice Of the United States for q period Of forty
days Of battalion Of ten selected companies Of
thirty men each, made up from
regiments of the national guard Of that state
for the purpose of serving with the United
States troops in one of the summer camps of in
struction west of the Mississippi river, the en-
listed men Of this selected force to be entitled
to double the pay and allowances authorized
by present laws to volunteer forces called into
the service of the government.
REMOVAL OF TIE RESTRICTION OF RHTIREMENTs
RECOMMENDED.
The adjutant general invites attention to the
fact that forty-eight officers Of the army who
have been found incapacitated for active serv-
ice and recommended for retirement are now
at their homes receiving full pay while awaiting
the action Of the government in their cases.
This action cannot be taken, as the retired list
upon which the law requires them to be placed,
If retired at all, is full. Hence the Gmita-
ton placed upon the list is the cause
OF an unnecessary expenditure of
the public funds, amounting in the aggregate
to more than S2S.000 year. II beg to say
that the true interest Of the government and Of
the military service will be promoted by an act
OF Congress removing all restrictions upon re.
tirements."

ALASKA NEEDS LEGISLATION.
Recommendation In the Report of
Governor Knapp.

Lyman E. Knapp, the governor Of Alaska, in
his annual report to the Secretary OF the Inte-
rior states that the number of natives in the
territory is about the same as when the census
OF 1880 was taken, but he thinks
that the next official enumeration will show an
increase. The stories about their dying out
he characterizes as absurd. The white popu-
lation, he estimates, has increased and now
numbers about $500. He says that the gov
eminent schools, the mission work Of the
various religious denominations and contact
with the better classes Of white people are in
fuences for good with the natives. The gov
ernor calls attention to the fact that un-
der existing laws no legal titles to
land except mineral lands for mining pur-
poses can be secured by any process whatever.
He dwells upon the lack of facilities for enforc-
ing the laws

territory, in his annual report to the Secretary
OF the Interior, states that the great disasters

ADDS, however, that while this was a serious
loss yet the credit Of the new state has not been

Torpedoes on the Car Track.

Yesterday morning while Doing duty along
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad track between
Boundary street and Ivy City Policeman Slack
found number of torpedoes ON the tracks.
The officer removed the dangerous explosives
and going further discovered that number of
bows had broken into q car standing on the
track. He arrested three of them, who had
their pockets and shirt bosoms filed with
apples taken from the broken car. The boys
gave their names as Edward WEIGH, Reginald
Boland and Malcolm Boland. One of them
had eleven torpedoes in his pocket. This
afternoon in the Police Court the boys plead
guilty to q charge of larceny. Judge Miller
said that 30 far as taking the apples was con-
cerned it was small matter compared with the
possession of the torpedoes He lectured the
BOYS about their future conduct and sentenced
them to the reform school during minority.

day and now the avenue IL clear from the
Capitol TO 18th street. The north side is I'm
ished as far as the middle of the square be-
tween LIST and I'd streets, while the south
side stops ct Sd street IL will be
remembered that Congress appropriated s125.-
600 for the Restricting Of the avenue, which
sum was based upon estimates furnished by
the engineer department Had everything
gone along smoothly, the whole street would
have been completed, but several changes OF
grade had to be made which were not calcu-
lated for originally and this accounts for the
deficiency.
The computing engineer Of the District, Mr..
Bailey, has been busy for some time looking
into the matter, with q view to determining the
amount of money on hand. Capt Symons
several days ago, as heretofore printed in The
STAR, ordered halt in the work until the ex-
act amount OF money on hand could be deter
mined. He thought this a wise move in view
OF the fact that the appropriation was getting
low and he could not safely exceed it.
THE NORTH SIDE MAY BE FINISHED.
Mr.. Bailey was seen by STAR reporter this
morning and said: Il hardly think anything
else will be done toward completing the ave
nue. this year, although there is a possibility
that the north side will be finished as far al
LIST street."
1t was suggested by some one interested tina,
the remainder of the avenue could be finished
by resorting to the appropriation for repairs
to concrete pavements," but as the avenue ap.
preparation was a special one the repair fund
cannot be touched.
THE FIFTEENTH STREET PAVEMENT.
There is one connecting link of the avenue
which is not completed, but that was not EN-.
braced in the appropriation for resurfacing
Pennsylvania avenue. II is that portion OF
18th street between Pennsylvania avenue and
New York avenue. At the last Congress q bill
was passed limiting the price to be paid for
new concrete pavements. Under this limit i,
was impossible to find contractor willing "a
do the work, 50 it was determined to pave the
street with granite blocks When the Treasury
officials heard of this they protested loudly, for
the noise OF vehicles passing over such pave
ment would seriously embarrass the clerks and
interrupt business. So they made an effort
and secured a special appropriation for a new
concrete pavement to be laid in the most ap
proved style on a concrete base. The con.
tractors are now at work upon this street and
IL Is thought will complete 1t about the 18th Of
the present month.

WHAT MEssRs. ANsrErr AND YoUMANs sAY
The statement that Governor Thompson, now
the democratic member Of the civil service
commission, went around with Chairman Bar
NUNS agents while he was assistant secretary
Of the treasury and assisted In collecting
political assessments from the employees is en-
phatically denied by Mr. Thompson's friends
and by officials in the department. They say
that he not only did not assist in collecting
money for political purposes, but he gave orders
prohibiting the collection Of any money in the
department for such purpose.
MIR. ANsTErT SAYS THE CHARGE rs FALSE.
Mr.. G. NJ. Anstett, who was chief of the law
division Of the architects Office when Mr..
Thompson was assistant secretary, said to q
STAR reporter today, speaking of the charge,
that he knew Of his personal knowledge that
the charge was utterly false. "a case came IN
der my own observation" he said. (which will
serve to show that it is false. Some one in the
architects Office took it upon himself to tell
the time to come down with their
money for Mr.. Barnum, or some
thing to that purpose. The matter was re-
ported to the secretary's Office and Gov.
Thompson sent at once for Mr.. Fister, then
acting as the head of the Office, and gave him
ments from the employees must not be permitted.
Mr.. Fister came back and announced to the
whole Office that there should be no collecting
or giving of money in that Office for political
purposes. He issued the order from Assistant
Secretary Thompson and made it imperative. +"
Ex-cHIEF CLERK YoUMANs' POSITIVE STATEMENT.
On the same subject Chief Clerk Youmans
said to STAR reporter: During the incum-
bency of ex-Secretary Thompson as assistant
secretary of the treasury was the chief clerk
and superintendent of the Treasury building
and charged with the enforcement of all orders.
remember distinctly during the campaign of
1888 one CT my subordinates, without
my knowledge, had collected or received
from the employees some seventy-fve dollars
and informed me Of the fact, and wished to
turn the money over to me to be forwarded to
the democratic committee. l declined to re-
ceiye it and at reported the fact to the then
assistant secretary, Thompson, who distinctly
and emphatically told me that such act was
illegal and mus. not be permitted in the de-
partment, and directed me to send for this
subordinate and order him to return the money
to the persons from whom he had received it,
upon pain of dismissal (Which 1 did and the
money was so returned), and further to stop
all that kind of work in the department"

extinguishing of the lights was the only warm
ing. All made a rush for the exit, which
quickly became jammed. There most of the
bodies were found during the search. The
