TO IMPROVE THE MILITIA.
The Report of Adjutant General Kelton TO
the Secretary of War.

The Report of Adjutant General kelton 20
the Secretary of War.
WASHINGTON, November 2.-The annual
report of Adiutant General Kelton to the
Secretary of War was made public to-day.
1tdeals largely with the militia question. He
recommends that State encampments be of
longer duration-from ten days to two
weeks. Too much attention, hessys, is paid
to purely automatic precision in the exc
cution of the manual Of arms and
other more important exercises are
neglected. All men called out, he
saws should be transported,
subsisted and tented at the expense Of the
State and general Government, with a per
diem allowance to officers and enlisted men;
and troops should not be forced to leave
their homes at their own expense, whether
for instruction or for actual service. He says
that the presence of regular troops at the
encampments Of the National Guards of
States, this year, appears to have been a
positive benefit.
/ He recommends that Congress be asked to
authorize (on the application of the Gov
ernor of State having an armed militia
force of not less than 5000 men) the muster
into the service of the United States for q
period of 40 days of battalion of 10 Sc
iected companies, of 80 men each, made up
from regiments of the National Guard of
that State, for the purpose of serving with
the United States troops for instruction,
etc.: the enlisted men Of this selected force,
after such muster and while on duty, to be
entitled to double the pay and allowance
authorized by present laws TO volunteer
forces called into the service Of the govern

A Big EnglIsh Concern win Buy All Of the

CHICAGO, November 2. LA London cable
gram notes the formation in that city Of .
company with capital Of s., 500, 900. eapa-
BILE of unlimited expansion, for the purpose
Of purchasing the grain elevators Of Chicago.
Mr.. W. II, Harper, treasurer Of the Chicago
and Pacific Elevator Company, said that
the cablegram was probably well founded.
ut is true" said he, shat negotiations
for the transfer of Chicago elevator property
to an English syndicate are in progress. We
have been asked two questions by parties
representing this syndicate: Will cash buy
your property? and Will you name your
fgures?' To the first we answered: Yes
to the second we returned the answer that
we declined to name a price until advised
of the parties with whom we had were ex-
pected to deal. Since then. in fact, yester-
day or the day before, our correspondents
gave us references that satisfied Us OF the
responsibility of the syndicate, and the
negotiations are, therefore, in q shape to
proceed on definite basis"
do you know If other elevators are in
volved In the negotiations?"
II know that every elevator company in
On4cAkO HAS recelFe0 u ptOpOSAl sinLldL "
that made to our company. do not know
what action any other company has taken"
The Econonltst has information that the
elevators belonging to Munger, Wheeler 8
Co. have been sold for s., $50, 900 to the same
English syndicate that has been purchasing
-four mills in Minneapolis and elevators
throughout the Northwest. The Munger
Wheeler system of elevators is the largest
in the city, having q capacity Of 6, 500, 900
bushels. the Armour and Dole houses stand
ing next in rank, with capacity Of $780,
600 bushels. The dead has been closed and
the money will be paid over to the sellers
early next week. The price paid was based
on the business Of the past eight years, and,
while no authoritative statement can be made
at this moment, it is nearly certain that the
annual income shown is s per cent on the
81. go, 900 to be paid. The property bought
consists of eight houses.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL PUzzLE.
The Greut Question That AgItated the Dime
Museum Lecturer.

The Great Question That AEifited the Dime
Museum Lecturer.
New York SUM-
The dime museum lecturer wore Q dress
suit, swelling shirt front, eyeglasses, and
an air Of wisdom. He stood before papier-
mache-made Patagonian giant, Is feet tall,
whose body was surmounted by two heads.
Before the lecturer stood gaping crowd Of
men and women. The lecturer wiped his
glasses and carefully adjusted them on the
bridge OF his nose. With q graceful wave
of his hand, he began his talk as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, you now see be-
fore you the only specimen Of two-headed
giant ever on exhibition. He was captured
200 miles inland from the coast Of Patago-
MIA. Both Of his heads were lassoed at one
and the same time by two Western cowboys.
Such was the strength Of the giant, however,
that he broke the leather lariats like straws
with his mighty arms. The giant was sub
dued only when 160 shots from Gatling
gun had been poured into his body.
This remarkable product Of the animal
kingdom. my friends, has been examined
by the wise men Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tute and pronounced to be the Simon-pure,
18-carat article. Such was the giants
strength that he has often been known to
knock an ordinary mans head from his
shoulders with one blow Of his mighty fist.
"But, my hearers, there is . remarkable
psychological puzzle in connection with
this two-headed giant, which has excited
the attention of scientific men all over the
country. This question is: Did the giant
do his thinking with the contents of both
skulls? Was the seriatum in one skull
agitated by hope and fear, and the cerebel-
lum in the other skull moved by passion
and love? These are the great conundrums
that now confront our scientists like dead
wall. Speculation ends here before this
awful enigma. And now, with your per-
mission, we will turn our attention TO the
beautiful mermaid sporting in yonder
BASIN"

ONE TROUBLESOME QUESTION
Concerning the Formal Acceptance of the
New Cruiser Charleston,

Concerning the Formal Acceptance of the
New Cruiser Charleston,
3, WASHINGTON, November 2.-After it
was decided yesterday at the Navy Depart
ment and so announced to formally accept
the cruiser Charleston, built by
the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, a reconsideration was had
and the subject has been further discussed
to-day bv the officials It is said that the
contractors had proposed to the secretary to
deliver the vessel upon the showing made
at the recent trial, without suffering the
penalty for failure to exhibit the horse
power required by the contract, or to make
another trial, with certain changes in the
machinery and pitch of the screw.
The refusal Of the department to accept
this alternative proposition, it is said, would
relieve the contractors of their liability to
pay the penalty due to lack of contract
horse power, and it was to determine this
question, if possible, that to-day's confer
ence was held. As a result of it, a telegram
was sent to the contractors which Secretary
Tracy said he believed would result in the
acceptance OF the Charleston, but its terms
were not made public.

London Globe.I
On October IA, 1893, Admiral Sir Henry
Digby, then Captain commanding the
British frigate Alcmene, on cruise of the
Spanish coast, shaped his course for Cape
st. Vincent, and was running to the south
ward, in the latitude Of Cape Finisterre-
At Ii o'clock at night Sir Henry rang his
bell to summon the officers Of the watch,
and ask him. "How are We steering?"
''South southwest sir" was the reply.
"What sort of weather." 'oThe same sir, I"
as when you left the deck-ine, strong
breeze, starlight night" care we carry
ing the same sail as at sunset?" Eyes, sir.
Double-reefed topsail and foresail.' Dig
by looked at the officer Of the watch stten-
lively for a moment, and then asked him
whether, to his knowledge, anyone had
entered the cabin. No one had been seen to
enter
The officer Of the watch then left the
cabin, and returned to the quarterback.
At in the morning the Captains bell was
again rung, the same questions repeated,
and the same answers given. "Most extra
ordinary thing" said the captain. Every
time I dropped asleep I heard someone
shouting in my ear, 'DigbyI Digbyl 90 to
the northwardl' 1 shall certainly do 80.
Take another reef in your topsail, haul your
wind, tack every hour till daybreak, and
then call me-" The officer Of the watch
acted in strict accordance with these strange
orders. When relieved at 4 A. NJ. by the
officer Of the morning watch that Officer ex-
pressed great astonishment at finding the
ship on wind. "What is the meaning of
this?" he exclaimed.
"MeaningP' said the other. "1-he cap
tain has gone stark, staring mad, that'sall."
and he told his story, at which they both
laughed heartily. There being no help for
it, these strange orders were strictly
obeyed, and the frigate was tackled at 4, at
8, at 6, and at o'clock. She had Just come
round for the last time when the man at the
masthead called out: "Large ship on the
weather bow, sirI' On nearing her q
musket was discharged to bring her to. She
was promptly boarded, and proved to be .
Spanish vessel laden with dollars, and q
very rich cargo Of cochineal and spices as
well. By this prize the fortunate dreamer
secured large portion Of the great fortune
which he had amassed in the naval service.

LOUISVILLE, November 2.-After the
Pan-American delegates had been escorted
around the city the party was taken up the
river by boat to the Glenview stock farm,
where blooded horses were seen grazing the
blue grass of Kentucky. Trotters and
runners were put through their
PAGES, Proctor being among those
seen. There were present a half
hundred OF Louisville bellies who enliVened
the scene. Several South American visitors
were given mounts, and raced about the
track with great pleasure to themselves and
the onlookers. Informal speaking took
place, dancing followed, and then drive
back to the city, after which the delegates
received the public at their hotel.
Governor Buckner, his wife and many
Louisville ladies assisted. At II P. NJ. the
travellers started for Mammoth Cave. where
they will spend Sunday.

CONFLICTING EVIDENCE.

The Usefulness of Consul Lewis at Tan
glers mt m End.
wAsHiNGToN, November IA telegram
was received at the State Department to-
day from Consul Lewis asking that he be
allowed to return to Tangiers. The officials
of the department who investigated the
charges brought against Consul Lewis BY
Benzuli, the Morocco merchant, and
Ramon Azoque, the former interpreter at
the Consulate, say that it is extremely diff
cult to reach a decision.
The evidence is directly conflicting, being
largely confined to assertions on one hand
by one person and denials on the other by
another person. It is believed, however.
that the officials regard Mr.. Lewis useful
ness at Tangiers as being at an end, and his
resignation from the service may be the final
outcome Of the investigation.

UNDER A RIVER.
The Work Of TunneIing Between sarnia
and Port HurOH-HOw the Grand
Trunk Railway is Spending
3,eOO,OOO-Two Years


10 Complete the Job.
ESPECIAL rELEoRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.t
OTTAWA, November 2.-Work on the
tunnel now in course of construction be-
tween SarnIa and Port Huron, under the
Detroit river, which the Grand Trunk Rail-
road Company is building. is being pushed
rapidly forward. It is estimated that to
complete the work will necessitate an out
lay of at least $4,000 900. There are now
something over 200 feet completed on the
Canadian side, and over 400 feet at the Port
Huron end. The work is progressing at the
rate Of seven feet day at each end, at
which rate it will be completed in two
years.
The opening approaches are about mile
long on both sides of the river and go feet
deep at the subterranean entrance. The
sides are now shored up with timbers, but
will be replaced with masonry before the
tunnel is completed. The ground under the
river is hard blue clay, and it was thought
at first that the shields could be driven
through this without any digging. With
this idea IL hydraulic rams were provided,
each capable of exerting force Of $4,000
pounds, but they could not drive the shields
an inch. The plan was then changed,
and crew of eight men with
picks and axes now digs out certain
section in the center, the pressure is then
applied, and the shields are driven 18
inches, the clay curling into the center
space dug out by the men. This clay is
then thrown upon cars and drawn out, and
the men dig out another central section. As
soon as the shield is advanced, the wall,
consisting of circular sections Of iron packed
at the joints with asbestos is put in.
A double railway track is also laid as the
work progresses, so that when the two
shields meet, somewhere near the middle of
the river, the tunnel will be completed. In
case water enters from the bottom of the
river, freezing machines are at hand to
freeze it and prevent the inflow.
