Report Of Gen Greeley Upon the Work of
the Bureau During the Year.
WASHINGTON, Got. 25.-Gen. A. W.
Greedy, chief signal officer, in his annual
report dwells at length upon the value of
the 800 miles of military telegraph lines
which were successfully maintained during
the year by the signal corps. AS an in
stance he cites the use of the line to Fort
Mckinney during tho cattle war in Wyom
ing and of the line between Forts Brown
and RinRgold, in Texas, during the Garza
troubles. With an eye to demands of mod
ern warfare, special attention is given to
the equipment of field telegraph trains for
egraph lines. The field kit, wherewith a
moving line can keep in communication
with a brigade or division of the command
cry, was successfully developed. A balloon
section is being organized with each tele'
graph train to operate captive balloons, to
collect military information and transmit
it to the ground by telephone cable The
heliograph ia perfected 80 messages may be
sent distances ranging from sixty to 10O
miles. There is obvious advantage arising
from concerted action in harbor defense.
Gen. Greelv submits special estimate of
$1,000 to initiate system of military ca
bles and connecting lines in New York,
TEN Of whistle signals, based on a service
codr, has been devised for the transmission
of orders to troops in extended or open for
nation, and is now under conside alton.
In conclusion, Gen. Greely speaks enoour-
agingly of the growing intei est in signal
work manifested by the militia of the
United States and suggests that the militis

nuiaitiOna.

NEW York. Oct. 25.--Hon. Charles F.
tfves, made his ftst speech in New York
during the present campaign to-day. when
he addressed large meeting of tho Cleve-
land and Stevenson Wholesale Dry Goods
club. In the course of his remarks, Crisp
said: ut ia not q question in the present
campaign of candidates, but of principles.
We should determine our course without
| prejudice. No man should be 80 blind a
| follower of his party as to adhere to it
when he firmly believes its policy detri-
mental to the country. Sugar is two cents
| pound cheaper now than two years ago.
Why? There ls no more of it made, but
two years ago tax of two cents pound
was taken off and sugar went down that
amount in price. This demonstrates that
when you take the tax Oft an article the
price goes down. The merchant takes
wheat to Liverpool and there sells it at 70
cents. He buys goods and starts back to
this county. When he arrives, and before
he can land, he must pay duty OF 5O pei
cent ad valorem.
"Major Mckinley says the foreigner pays
the tax. The foreigner has my wheat. &c
and tax him. not me. The democrats are
not advocating free trade. 1t is question
of reasonable, moderate tariff against the
republican extortionate one. They put q
tariff on the farmers wool and say that will
make him get u higher price for it. They
put tariff on other goods to make then
cheaper. The democrats do not say they
will increase wages. They say that if you
give them the opportunity they will pass /
bill wnicn will increase the purchasing
power Of wages. The Springer wool bill, i
passed. would greatly benefit the people.

Thinks Polygamy Has Been Renowned
AS to Statehood.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Arthur L. Thomas,
governor of Utah, in his annual report 80
the secretary of the interior. says polygamy
in the territory is on the decline. He says
he does not believe any polyRamous mar
riages have taken place during the year
with the consent or permission of Mormon
leaders. and he is convinced that there ia a
sincere intention on the part of Mormon
people not to approve or sanction polyga-
mous marriages in the future. He says il
Ia to be regretted that the sincerity of a
whole neople seeking to accomplish a great
reform should be placed under suspicion by
the acts of few, but such is the case. To
be gu e, it will be some time. and it may be
years, before the practice Of unlawful CO.
Labitation will entirely cease.
In regard to the admission of Utah as a
state Gov, Thomas says: ut is my opin-
ion, having due consideration for she
wishes and feelings of all. between the two
great elements OF the population, Mormon
and non Mormon, that sympathy of feeling
and harmony of purpose docs not exist
which is so essential to the prosperity and
happiness of people under statehood; yet it
would be an not unworthy the justice of a
dreat government to turn deaf ear to the
appeal of men who, in Utah, always upheld
its authority and obeyed its laws"

much enthusiasm az the sterner sex. Hugh
Hogan was called to the chair and made an
excellent presiding officer. Hon. X. b.
Smith was the first speaker. He dwelt at
length upon the financial, tariff and wool
questions, consuming over an hour in the
delivery of his speech. He was listened to
most attentively and was frequently ap-
plauded. u. w. Knight followed, and as
usual spoke in his direct, business like
! manner that engaged the attention of his
audience. He spoke of the fundamental
