Depew's Eloquent Tribute TO the
German Soldier.

German Soldier.
NEw YoRK, Oct 27.-The ninetieth an
niversary of the birthday of Won Moltke
was celebrated tonight by one OF tho
greatest festivals. music and oratory,
ever held at the Metropolitan opera
house. All German societies and promi-
nent clubs of the city added interest to
the event. The great hall was thronged
with people. The festival opened with
the Kaiser march, rendered by the
Metropolitan orchestra. Ferdinand
Montz, president of the German society,
delivered the opening address in Ger
man.
General Franz siegel made an address
in which he spoke Of Won Moltke's lack
OF desire for self.glorifcation.
Chauncey III. Depew was the next
speaker. In his speech ho said: No
such spectacle as Is presented here to-
night has been seen in this century. One
hundred million people uncover in the
presence of one character. 1t il because
that character, in its Goth year, has
stood only for the fatherland and Ger
many's advancement. Cheers.
There are two old men now living that
have been talked OF the world over, vet
neither of these men could receive a cell
ebration such as this of Won Moltke'a
These two men are Bismarck and Glad
stone. Applause.
In the peaceful Goth year Of Won Moltke.
the continuance of peace is assured, and
it Is undisputed that the German race
divided can be conquered, but united il
Irresistible. fCheers,
When the great held marshal has
passed away and been gathered among
the men whom God places in the highest
seats in heaven, there will be um berless
monuments TO bis memory, but the
monument that will stand for ali time
and the greatest will DO the German em-
pirs. Cheers.

HILL TO THE FARMERS.
McIxinIsy's Tarin Law the Burden oi
His Woo.

MAssILoN, Ohio, Oct. Ex-Governor
Hill and party this morning went to
Millersburg, the county seat OF Holmes
county, which is purely an agricultural
county. The governor was greeted at
the depot by an enormous crowd, and
on reaching the hotel held an informal
reception, shaking hands with many
hundreds of people for about two hours.
After dinner he spoke at the village
opera house to 1900 people, as many
more being unable to gain admission.
The governor devoted the greater part
of his speech to q discussion of the
effects Of tho Mckinley tariff bill on
agricultural interests.
according to the republicans" said
he, 'it is the miserable pauper labor OF
foreign lands which Is competing with
the American farmer for his home agri-
cultural markets. Most of our
agricultural products need no more
than an elephant needs protection
from mouse. The mere statement
of experts and imports shows the alb
surdity OF Mckinley's conclusion that
damaging foreign competition in our
homo markets Is the cause Of agricultural
depression.
'The trainers of the Mckinley bill,
after pointing with horror at $50, 0OO, OO(
worth of imported agricultural products
actually reduced existing duties on one.
third, or left them untouched, and in
creased duties on scarcely one-sixth,
which proportion includes articles that
are in no sense serious competitors with
American products"
This evening in Massilon, Govern OF
Hill spoke in the rink, and Congress

house. The party starts for West Vir-
ginia tomorrow morning in Senator

TESTING THE GUNS.
Satisfactory Results OF the Navy Tar
get Practice.

WAsHIHGToS, Oct 25.-Telegrams Of
the result of the first target practice Of
the new cruiser Philadelphia have just
reached the navy department.. The
practice was at Gardner bay, October 4,
with 8-inch, 3-inch and 1-inch rapid fir
ing guns, and the tests were remark
able.
At one range. 100 yards, sixty out of
sixty.two shots lodged in an exact YER
tical line extending twenty feet above
the water line, which means that every
one of them would have hit an ordinary
war vessel in very nearly the same place.
As the ship and guns were new, this
first trial is regarded as satisfactory
demonstration of the quality of our ord
nance and the ability of our gunners.

Democrats Addressed by Hen. u. D.
Browne.

FARMINeroN, WASH, Oct. al. j.
Browne, the Spokane millionaire,
preached democracy to small hand full
of democrats here Inst evening. Al
though Mr.. Browne 10 an eloquent
speaker, he failed TO impress upon any
Of the farmers that he wanted all of tn Q
farm mortgages which he holds against
them to depreciate In value. He re.
ferred frequently to the fact that the
farmer had TO pay . tariff on some OF
the commodities which he used, but
failed to explain the tariff placed upon
farm products to protect the farmer
against pauper competition. In fact, to
an intelligent man, Mr.. Browne only
succeeded in showing up the weak
points in the democratic argument.

GENERAL GIBBONS REPORT,
The Indians Are Ia u Quiet AID Peace.
able State.

WASHINGTON, oct. 27.-Tho secretary
of war has received the annual report of
Brigadier General John Gibbon, com
manding the department of the Colum-
ba. He reports the Indians of the ex-
treme Northw west perfectly peaceful, and
he thinks these will remain 50 indefinite
ly unless goaded to desperation by the
constant encroachments of the whites
and their agents injustice. He says in
regard to court martials, that the posted
Irregularities in court martial proceed.
ings recently have given rise to good
deal OF comment throughout the coun-
try, and the proposition has been made
to take from department commanders
the power to order general courts and
rest it only in division commanders.
"a am of the opinion this would be a
great mistake and would not be in the
furtheranco OF the administration of
justice and would simply add one more
to the disad van tages of the present divis-
ion organization" He recommended
however. certain Improvements in the
administration of military justice as fol-
lows:
| 10 authorize the secretary by Law TO
1 ooeobhoh VI AOi
| certain weil-deiined ofienses, to which
courts should conform in sentences by
requiring q strict compliance with the
law, and convening general courts by es-
tabiishing a military court of appeal
whose duties should be similar to the
| corresponding civil courts.
General Gibbon reports the troops In
bis department In good condition as re-
CARDS discipline and drill, and gives 1t as
his opinion that the various measures
taken to decrease the number of de-
sertions . in the army will result BEN
hcially. No steps, he says, will produce
better results than the plan to get better
material by enlisting recruits in rural
districts rather than crowded cities. He
reports capteens In his department in
satisfactory condition, and says the sys-
tenn 10 not only better than that Of
leadership, but the enlisted men are be-
ginning to realize some Of its benefits.
He recommends the war department to
charter = seaworthy vessel for the trans
portation of stores across the mouth of
the Columbia river and Bakers bay as
was done until recently when the con-
tract for the service was disapproved.
Since the stoppage of the steamer, the
garrison at Fort Candy has been cut of
from the ordinary table supplies.
