WAsHrSGTOS, Nov - Acting Ad-
jptant-t;enerai M:Kecver in his ANIMAL
report to the Secretary OF War devotes
much space to the subject OF military
colleges lie says that the reports Of
officers performing tho duties OF profess
sors Of military science and tactics at
the universities and colleges give graf
flying evidence Of the increasing inter-
est manifested by the college authori-
ties in such course OF studies and ex-
ercises. The average number OF stu
dents over Is years OF age attending
those institutions during the past schol-
astic year was 1i.849, OF whom 81 at
tended artillery drills and 6, 040 infantry
drills lie declares, however, that the
best results will not be obtained until
each university or college favored
with an army detail makes military
drills and instruction compulsory upon
all male students Of proper age physic-
ally able, and In addition provides ade-
quate facilities for indoor drills during

present reward Of $50 for the arrest Of
deserter has proved totally made
quate, as is abundantly proved by the
very small percentage OF arrests, COM
pared TO the number OF assertions. He
therefore recommends that the present
reward be increased to 500. which he
says is q sum that in many cases, after
the reduction of the expenses incident
to arrest. holding, and delivery will
only fairly compensate the civil officer
or citizen making the arrest 1t Is also
urged that Congress make provision for
increasing tho pay OF non-commissioned

to the several grades OF this class Of Of
flcers is not only without incentive to
the men best fitted for the position, but
the very acceptance OF that position
works pccuniary loss, as compared with

face Of the returns will show the cleo
ton Of Powers as Governor, or that
there has been fraud at the POLLS, and
are already taking steps to contest the
election, II Boyd, the Democratic can
didate, should appear to be ahead. The
contest will be tried by the Legislature
in joint session. with the Speaker pre-

say that Powers will have the benefit

But at first tho people protested that
