CLEvELAND'S VACATION ENDED.
Leaves Virginia Island-Future Move
ment sof Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland.

ExNoRE. Va, Dec. 4.-Cleveland had
perfect weather for his last day on the
island, which he spent i'll comparative
quiet. Cleveland and Lis party boarded
the steam yacht Sunshine shortly
before 8 O'Clock in order to reach the main
land before dark. 4 crowd greeted the
president-elect, and as he made his way 10
his private car he shook hands with half
dozen ladies. During the four hours that
Cleveland's car lay on the sidetrack a
number of residents were received by the
distinguished gentleman.
LAKE WooD, \. j., Dec. 4-From an in
innate friend of Mrs. Cleveland it is
learned that President-elect Cleveland is
expected there tomorrow afternoon. On
Wednesday or Thursday he will return
to New York with Mrs. Cleve-
land and baby Ruth. Mrs. Cleveland
will remain in New York tor few days,
when she will leave for the West, where
she proposes TO spend two weeks.
Whether the president-elect will accom-
pany Mrs. Cleveland on her Western trip

SECRETARY OF WARS REPORT.
Recommends Higher Pay for Soldiers
The Indian in the Service.

WASHINGTON City. Dec. 4.-The secre-
tary of war in his annual repor. urges the
passage of bill for infantry reorganiza-
ton which has already gone through the
senate and is now pending in the house.
The plea is made for special grade of
lieutenant general. The secretary SAYS
that while the enlisted personnel of the
army is, as whole, much better
than at any time previous, much remains
to be accomplished in this connection.
If good men are wanted for the army thew
must be paid something near what wage
earners receive in the ordinary pursuits of
civil life Under present conditions there
is scarcely any pecuniary benefit TO attract
men 10 the ranks. Promotions to com.
missioned grades are necessarily few
and the difference between the pay Of pri-
Yates and non-commissioned officers is
hardly appreciab!e when considered in the
light of an inducement for enlistment. 1t
is recommended that at least the paw of
non-commissioned grades be increased to
the extent of making promotion thereto
ali object of legitimate ambition. The
secretary recommends the continuance
of the policy Of abandoning small
posts and establishing regimental
posts IN large states now without them.
In addition 10 decided saving of expense
in maintenance there will be more uni
form and better discipline and positive
Improvement in instruction and military
administration. Such posts will also be
an advantage IN connection with the train
ing and contraction OF a national guard.
The high standing OF West Point acade-
my was maintained during the year. Its
capacity was not oyertaxed, and the secre-
tarv recommends that the president be
given authority to appoint ten candidates
st large each year, as IL IS probable that with
this increase there will still be vacancies
and that the number of graduates Will not
exceed - per cent. per annum. Post
graduates of the schools Of cavalry, in
fantry and light artillery and engineers
made encouraging progress, and the secre-
taTy makes numerous recommendations
with regard 20 them.
As TO the national guard, he calls
attention 10 the necessity OF an increase
of appropriations. saying the recent
ones had been utterly inadequate.

a Coal Mine Caves IN.

SHENANDOAH. Pa, Dec. 4-The residents
of Lost Creek, two miles west of here,
were thrown INTO great excitement at an
early hour this morning by the sudden
caving in of about 800 feet of the surface
100 feet wide. directly under the Lehigh
railway track. Four tracks have been
carried down TO a depth of twenty-five
feet and the southern wall of Lost Creek
sawmill and a large part of the building is
now hanging over the immense cave-in
The people are in a state of dread as night
approaches, there being fear of still further
settling. The caying in was occasioned by
rotten pillars.

THE DEAD MCLTI-NILLIONAIR
Police Guard the Gould Mansion-The
Funeral to Occur Today.

New YORK, Dec. 4-Quietness reigned
without and within the Gould residence
today. Only the broad and long
streamers of Grape attached 20 the
door which floated on the chilly breeze
outside indicated that the gloomy servitor
had recently invaded the household.
When the pail OF darkness descended the
police guards resumed their vigil outside,
which WILL be kept up until after the re-
mains are removed for interment.
IL has been decided TO permit the per-
sonal friends Of Mr.. Gould. who will be
unable 10 get into the house during
the funeral services, to pass in after
ward and look on Mr.. Gould's face.
The funeral, which will be quiet as possi-
bic. and so quite in line Of Mr. GouId's
unostentatioas preferences, will be held At
the house az o'clock in the afternoon.

In lssts the appropriations for the militia
OF states was $4,000. The highly in
proved arms and equipment of the
present day cost for the same number OF
men more than treble what they did eighty
iour years ago. 4 demand for an equip
mens appropriation of at least 81 l,coo,0O0
Tor this purpose is recommended; also.
mat the present law be changed so that
the arms and supplies. which have be-
come unserviceable, now in the hands OF
the militia. may be sold, and the proceeds
USED ior furnishing new supplies instead
OF being covered into the treasury.
Ihe inspector general reports to the
secretary regarding Indian soldiers that
they showed remarkable aptitude for mill
tary service, are amenable TO the discipline,
generally of good habits, proud OF
being soldiers and, considering their
ignorance of the English language, their
progress IN drill has been extraordinary.
Inc reports of inspectors of the new drill
regulations issued show commendable
alacrity on the part of the men learning
them. The surgeon general takes deep
interest IN the more perfect organization
OF the medical department for the
national guard, and it is hoped that this
may be accomplished through the medical
department Of the army and the associa-
ton OF military surgeons of the national
guard
The report of the chief OF engineers con-
talns information concerning the fortiiica-
tionsfor the seaboard and the improvement
OF rivers and harbors. The construction
oil emplacements for modern high-power
guns and mortars in some of the larger
harbors is we'll under way. but not Yet
co-extensive with the construction of guns
or the needs of coast defense. The secre-
tary hopes that sufficient appropria-
tons will be made for this purpose and for
the purchases of the sites needed upon the
advanced headlands Of our harbors Tor
long range guns.
The secretary deyotes some space to the
report OF the chief of ordinance. which
has been previously covered at length IN
these dispatches. The chief signal officer
reports the continued improvement of
his branch of the service and
among other things mentions a practical
test of the field telegraph train in the con-
struction of flying field line thirty-fve
miles long in twenty-four hours The
estimated appropriations submitted by the
secretary for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1898, are $l3, 36i, 900.

In the farming districts a very large per

ticians are reaping the fruits of the de.
ception practiced upon them The negro
vote of the South has now been broken
for the first time II has openly rebelled
against the party that claimed its
vote as a matter of right, and with the
negro vote divided, not only win the
white voters of the South speedily divide
on political issues, but the South will also
divide according to the convictions and
interests Of its respective states When
the solid negro vote is broken, It is the
entering wedge TO a break in the solid
South. 1t will not come this year with a

the Republican party can learn enough to
