The day was intensely warm, and about

regular tornado followed. Huge trees

were unroofed and shattered, and the

were stricken down and killed while
others were drowned. The loss is very
great.

story of an Eyewitness.

Troy, N. Y. July 10.-An eye-wit-
ness of the storm at Bluff Point was
seen by a Telegram reporter at the
Union depot. He said that only one
life was lost, that of man named
Valley, a guest at the hotel. He was
ont fishing in the lake when the cyclone
struck the place and the terrific wind
overturned his boat. He could not
reach shore and lost his life.
The gentleman stated that the storm
was the most terrific one the vicinity
ever experienced, and that trees twice as
large as the body of a man were mp
rooted and twisted into fragments.
Many barns were blown down and in
one instance a horse and wagon were
blown across field. AS far as he knew
no one was seriously injured. He esti-
mated the damage to the hotel at about
$1,000. He said the storm lasted nearly
ten minutes and came up very suddenly.

on Long Island woman who was born
during the reign of Frederic the Great.
She il in fairly good health. too, and il in
possession Of all her faculties. The moro
statement that she ID more than 1O5 years
old conveys only dim impression Of her
great age. but when it il remembered
that Louis XVI. was ouillotined while she
was going to school it seems astounding
that she should be walking ard talking and
eating and enjoying life yet in the little
town Of Flushing.
Her name is Mrs. David stillwagon. She
was born ON Sept. Is. 1876, on farm at
Tsrrytown. N. Y, and her fathers name
vas Abram Van Wart. She married in the

The Condition Of the Military Divi-
sion Of the Pacific Set
Forth.
Suggestions on the Subject or
Army Reorganization and
Coast Defensea.
Armored Vessels Not Effective for That
Purpose-Removal Of Indians
Other Washington News.

WAsHINaToN, Oct. 9.-Mai. Gen. Miles,
in his annual report Of the military division
Of tho Pacific, while reporting the tone and
character Of the service most excellent, says
that any system is defective which leaves
with little advanoement and slight hope Of
recognition a,class Of citizens who devote
themselves entirely TO the military service.
The artillery branch should be increased by
at least two regiments, and the sole; ;organi-
cation be given to the infantry. that exists
in the best armies Of the world, namely.
three battalion Organization. Gen. Miles
says the various methods rssorted to to
diminish desertion have not. 10 any consid-
erable extent, done 10. He believes, how
ever, that we are approaching solution OF
the problem, and that the measures recently
adopted are Z step in the right direction. The
holding of discontented Indian tribes ON
the San Carlos reservation, especially along
the Gila river, which is unsuited to them
and often unhealthy, will always be 9
source Of danger and disturbance. Az
several military posts and reservations IN
the department of Arizona have been aban-
doned, he recommended that they be at
once occupied by Indians or converted
into industrial schools, and tho Moiave,
Tonto and Yuma Indians be removed there
| at once from the sickly Gila valley. The
San Carlos Indians, now along the San Car
los river and White mountains, should be
located on sufficient part Of the reserva-
tion, and the remainder thrown open to
such use as can be made of it by citizens.
The tribes would be more easily controlled
when separated, especially in such region
as they are now compelled to occupy.
Gen. Miles comments at considerable
length on the coast defense question, reit-
Grating his we'll ll-known viewa on the sub
iect. The recent practice maneuvers Of the
English navy have demonstrated. he aays,
the fact that their powerful navy could not
defend even the limited coast Of that
island and it is useless to suppose that any
navy We can construct can defend our ex-
tensive sea coast. Land batteries are far
more economical than armored ships as
means Of defense. He recommends that
sites for coast defenses be secured without
delay, gun foundry established on the Pa
tion required for coast defense made every
year for tho next four years.
