sarcastic, played carelessly about his

some terrible dream, some chimera

BETTER GRADE Of RECRUITS.
The Inspector General of the Army
Gives Favorable Report.

hlNeS FhNOraDlt report.
In the annual report OF the inspector gen
eral OF the army, submitted to the war de-
partmcnt, satisfaction i expressed with tht
quality Of the recruits enlisted during the
year, as compared with the kind so long fur
nished, although there appears 10 have been
some difficulty In obtaining the requisite
number to ill the various organizations.
The effort to improve the type of recruit
furnished the army still continues, and is,
perhaps, meeting with AS much success, the
report states, a. can be expected.
The reports of inspectors in reference tC
Indian troops are generally of u gratifying
character. Although in some localities lit.
tie, il any, progre 5 has been made towards
filling the infantry companies. The report
describes the Indians as amenable to dis
cipline, generally of good habits and proud
of their occupation. Considering their L.
norance OF the English language. their pro,
gress in drill has been extraordinary, and re-.
m4rkable aptitude has been shown by them
for the military service,
There are about eight hundred Indians in
the service as soldiers. The discipline through.
out the army is reported to be excellent and
the behavior Of the troops good. Practice
instruction in infantry and cavalry drills
since the new regulations were Used, show
commendable alaCrity, but doubt is cX
pressed II the infantry instructions can ever
be what it should be until the organization
of the regiments conforms to the the tactica
requirements OF the day.
4 recommendation is made by the report
that the government provide n compulsory
system OF life insurance in the army for the
windows and orphans Of the military mcr
similar to the system used by the Pennsyl
wanna Railroad Company and other cor
porations.

FLOOD IN NIAGARA RIVER.
The Water Rises from Ten to Twelve
Feet In Few Hours.


The Niagara river went on rampage the
other day ut Niagara Falls and did a lot of
damage, forcing number of workmen to
flee for their lives The water began to rise
before o'clock. aud in few hours was
from ten to twelve feet higher in the gorge
below the falls. 1t swept over the docks Of
the Maid of the Mist on the Canadian and
American sides Of the river, and it rushed in
the portal Of the biz hydraulic tunnel just
finished, driving the workmen out in a
hurry. These men are Of the night gang,
and had little warning. They just saved the
tools.
On the Canada side, however, "A large amount
of damage was done. A large tunnel is UNI
der construction at Table Rock for the new
Canadian electric line. The wheel pits are
now between 60 and 70 feet deep. The
water broke over the barriers and rushed
into the wheel pits, filing them up and
sweeping the tools, derriCks, and all the
material away. The workmen in the wheel
pits were warned In time or there would
have been a heavy loss Of life. 1t will take
week or more to pump ont the excava-
tons. The damage is way up IN the thou
sands. Large quantities Of logs and timber
are coming over the falls.
The cause Of the sudden rise of water is
the heay west wind and storms which pre-.
vailed up the lakes.
