MORE TROOPS NEEDED.
Gen. o. o. Howard's Annual Report Sub

Gen. o. o. Howard's Annual Report Sub.
mitted-His Apprehensions Were Not
RealiZed-Coast Defenses Good.
The annual report of Major Gen. o. o.
Howard, commanding the Department OF the
East, has been made public.
Gen. Howard, in speaking Of the move
ments of his troops necessitated by the late
strike, says that fortunately his apprehensions
of serious obstruction to commerce of the
East and South, an important center. were not
realized. Should such difficulties arise again
and simultaneously in cities far apart, the ne
cessity Tor regular troops, and more of them
than his department now affords is apparent
Just now the National Guard in several
States in the department is well organized
and responds promptly to every call of duty
still. if more than one State is involved in
events growing out OF anarchy, the executive
will always require his own troops
They will be essential to his execution oi
the laws and maintenance of order. OF course
Governors of States should cooperate, but
they might disagree or be reluctant in meet
ing sudden emergency
Therefore Gen. Howard strongly recon-
mends an increase of the Army to at least
double the size OF our present force. 1t will
in his judgment, be like an adequate police
AHe UeSI pOSSlDlO melnOQ OF preserving the
peace until many yexatious questions, which
are now troubling the country. are put al
rest by solution satisfactory to the people
of the nation.
Gen. Howard expresses the opinion that
already our coast defenses are in fairly good
condition, and that, in conjunction with
our ever-increasIng naval armament, there
would be little fear from outside aggression
In conclusion Gen. Howard says:
Before the time for another report I shall
close the period of my active service. My con-
uection with the Army from 1850. when l be.
came cadet, to the present time, when ]
have reached the age of compulsory retire
ment. affords me pleasure in the retrospect.
No service, however, has been more agree
able to me personally than that of the last
six years in connection with this department
And the satisfaction arises. in the main. from
the uniform loyalty, energy. and efficiency
shown by the personnel Of my commands: by
those immediately around me. and not less
by those at rsmoter posts and garrisons. As
wrote in closing my report last year, so
again urge upon all the motive of high eff
cheney and attainment rather than the hope
OF high rank, which, in our small Army, i.
seldom achieved"

LOSS TO THE CITY.

LeXow Committee Find Hundreds of Po.
licemen Watch Private Buildings.
NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Chief Counsel Goff
continued to probe for evidences of black
mail at the session of the Lexow committee
to-day. He produced witnesses who testified
that the police officials were accustomed to
bleed the proprietors Of soda water fountains
on the East Side,
The first witness OF the day, Frank 81. John
son, told the committee of another source Of
revenue to the police His father is a caterer,
and finding 1t necessary at some OF the sup
pers given by the elite TO stretch awnings
across tho sidewalks he had often given the
policeman assigned to attend these affairs S5
Senator O'Conpor brought out the fact that
there were at least 500 policemen assigned to
watch the buildings of private corporations.
This service cost the city at least 5000. 900 an
nually, and no compensating advantages
were received. Mr.. Goff said that this esii-
mate was low one. and that the loss 10 the
city was even greater.
One proprietor Of a retail store admitted on
the stand that he had challenged Inspector
Williams to fight duel.

Brick Manufacturers West sued.

George T. Jacobs. model maker, of No.
7OS Seventh street northeast, yesterday sued
William H. West & Brother, brick manufac-
turers of No. 718 Fifteenth street northwest,
for 81 900 damages. The declaration states
that West on April u, 1892. conveyed lot No.
1876 in square No. $50 to Jacobs, receiving par
tial payment. On October /, 1893, Jacobs re-
conveyed the property to West, but with an
agreement that Jacobs had an equity in it of
1913, and that he should retain possession till,
at S25 per month, the rent running from
April II, 1892 should equal his equity. Ac-
cording to this it was agreed his tenancy
should terminate on January l, 1895. Never
theless january, 1894, West began proceed
jngs to dispossess Jacobs, and on October 4
last actually put him out. This breach of
contract, Jacobs claims. has interfered with his
business, and necesstated expenses that
make the damage 81 900.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The managers of both the Democratic and
Republican parties announce that prospects
are brighter and that greater interest is
manifested by voters in the coming election.
What matters it which party succeeds, and
in what way will the country be benefited by
further political agitations!
Both political parties threaten renewal of
tariff tinkering on party lines and each is
divided on financial issues. so that the country
may expect a continued unstableness in our
tariff policy and an absolute failure to pro-
vide satisfactory and substantial monetary
system.
Should the Republican party succeed in con-
trolling the next Houses of Congress tariff

KEY AS A CLUE.
Burglars Murdered Special Policeman
Pearson, but Dropped Key Which
eliminates Richard Russell

eliminates Richard Russell.
KANSAS CRY, Oct. 17.-Burglars killed
Christiansen Pearson early this morning He
was special policeman employed by the
wealthy residents of Hyde Park to guard
their houses. He was found dead in the cell
lar way at the home of A. A. Mosher, presi-
dent OF the air line road, by servant just
after daylight with bullet in his head.
The murderers had several hours to hide
themselves away before their crime was
known, but they blindly left a clue that will
prove of more service in bringing them to
justice than their photographs. They dropped
key to the cellar door in the area. That
key was of peculiar make. Mr.. Mosher owned
several of them, and all were numbered. One
was missing. The murdered man carried
such a key, and it was found in his pocket by
the coroner. Members Of the household had
duplicates OF the key, and every one has been
accounted for.
One was given to Richard Russell, a negro
employed by Mr.. Mosher as laborer about a
year ago. Two other negroes were employed
to help Russell and Russell reported one day
that he loaned the key 10 one OF his helpers
and it had been lost. This is the key that
was dropped by the men who killed Watch
man Pearson.
The threads OF evidence tell clear story of
the murder. The burglars opened the cellar
door. One of them had the key in his hand
when Pearson surprised him and he dropped
the key to use his weapon. The police have
enough evidence to convince them that two
or more men were attempting to burglarize
the residence
Richard Russell lives in a shantY near Mr..
Moshers house. He was not at home last
night nor to-day. His wife said he was alb
sent in st. Joseph attending meeting OF the
Colored Baptist Association.

Results of Sandy Hook Tests.

The report of the ordnance board which

were five in number: Driggs-Schroeder.

Sponsel. The tests were very severe, the guns
being artihcially rusted in their mechanism,
exposed to sand blasts, fired at great speed,
and tried with defective ammunition. all TO

Seabury gun was more severe than the others,

HAS AN ALTERNATE.
Union Pacific Coal Company Does Not
Want Its Employees in Politics.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 17.-J. F. Pierce,
candidate for State auditor On the Peoples
party ticket, has been notified by George l..
Black. assistant superintendent OF the Union
Pacific Coal Company, that he must either
withdraw from the ticket or leave the employ
OF the company. The order. it Is said, comes
from the receivers of the road.
The law of the State makes an offense pun
ishable by fine of 800 to $500 for any in
dividual or corporation to interfere with
their employees or in any way prevent them
from becoming candidates for office. Chair
man Merritt has decided TO serve notice on
the coal company not to violate this law, and
will offer reward OF 81, 900 for the convic-
tion of any person guilty of such violation.

IN THE DIsPENsARY STATE.

The campaign in South Carolina, recently
closed. has demonstrated two facts beyond
peradventure, namely, that Tillman will sue
ceed Butler in the Senate, and that the white
people Of the State are hopelessly and IRENE
diably divided in politics. The warning fac
tions are known as Tillmanites and Conser-
vatives The former since 1890 have con-
trolled all the State offices, one United States,
Senator and six out of seven members of the
House Of Representatives. The Conserya-
tiyes will have no ticket in the field in No
vember, but will make a determined fight
against Tillman and Tillmanism in 1896, when
a successor TO Senator Irby is TO be chosen.
Their hope for success then rests on the as
sumption that the present State government
will have made itself intolerabIy odious to the
people by the enforcement Of the obnoxious
dispensary law and the passage of a new
State constitution.
This proposed new constitution is the prin-
Sampson Pope, one of the charter members
OF the Tillman party, has cut loose from his
moorings and will make the fight in Noyem-
ber as the Observation-Disclosures con-titu-
tion candidate. How the Conservatives will
vote as between Pope and John Gary Evans,
the Tillman candidate for Governor, is prob
lematic. The Tillmanites do not look upon
the candidacy of Pope as much of an OBJ
stacle, but as several Of the Tillman journals
have recently come out in opposition to the
new constitution Pope's chances for large
vote are regarded as increasing. He is
counting on the Conservative support, which
is usually cast in any direction against Till
man.
At the last State convention the TilIman
people indorsed the Chicago platform, but re-
affirmed their position previously assumed in
favor OF the Ocala platform. In the Senate
Tillman is expected to be a free lance. but
unalterably opposed to President Cleveland
and his financial policy.

HOW THE TIMES BEAT THE WORLD.

HOW THE TIMES" BEAT THE WORLD.
Considerable surprise was expressed yes
terday that the two editions OF THE TIMES
should contain such correct and elaborate
accounts Of the capture of the train robbers
at Cherry Run and Cumberland.
Perhaps this surprise will be augmented
when II is known that The TIMES was the first
and only paper in the country to tell the story
to Washington and to the world.
More than this, TEE TIMES arrived in Cum
berland and sold on the streets the first
printed account Of the capture.
Perhaps our many readers would like to
know how this feat OF news gathering was
accomplished.
To begin with the editors hav ebeen IN hourly
consultation with maps of the region. These
maps are thoroughly localized and also show
the position Of railroad lines and functions.
Travelling staff correspondents Of the paper
have kept close on the heels of the detectives,
and have also worked out theories sent them
from this Office.
But it is to the magnificent service of the
Associated Press that TIE TIMES is indebted
for its first suggestion Of importan. opera
tions near Cumberland.
Acting upon the hint thus given by news
disseminating association which is synonym
for reliability, messages were ar once sent
over the wire to our local correspondents In
every important town around Cumberland,
and 10 the morning newspaper offices of
nearby cities.
Results were quick. By 3 O'Clock the story
OF the Cherry Run capture was in type and on
the presses, il plenty of time to reach the mails
and the city routes.
But that was not all. dispatch came
along from our wide-awake correspondent at
Cumberland. 1t read: Hold for story;
captured men and money"
THE TIMES held. Messages were sent to
the foreman OF the composing room, the
pressman. and the head stereotyper; news
boys were told to come back att O'Clock for
an extra edition, and the whole personnel and
pharaphernalia Of a modern newspaper
waited on that story from Cumberland.
At 5:25 the message was received: "storm
will open up in five minutes
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five and
thirty minutes passed before it "opened up
Then the little electric clicker began to work
and at $40 O'Clock the extra edition, with a
full, graphic, and exclusive account of both
captures, and an exclusive local story con-
cerning the presence of the detectives in
Washington was in the hands of the news
boys.
The afternoon papers yesterday had moth
ing to add to TIE TINES account printed
hours before.
That is how The TIMES told the story of
the capture Of the train robbers ahead of the
local papers, the New York papers, and the
papers Of the whole country.

The tone of the hog market was less de-
pressed than on the previous days of the
week. The greater part of the 81, 900 head

there were many sales at S4. 75aS4.S5 and not
a few at "a. 50aS4.65. Culls and cholera pigs
sold at S2.O0a54.25 where buyers could be
found.

Emo Case in the snnreme Conrt.

The case of the People Of the State of New
York VS.. John C. Emo, the defaulting presi-
dent OF the Second National Bank of New
\ ork, was argued in the Supreme Court yes
terday for the people by John ID. Lindsay and
submitted on brief for Emo by George Bliss.
The decision in this case, which. it is believed,
will soon be rendered, is expected to go far
towards settling the question of the conflict
OF jurisdiction in cases of ofIenseS by national
bank officials between the federal and state
courts, which has in the past given rise to no

year-old King of Servia, arrived here this
evening from Budapest on visit to Emperor
William. Great preparation had been made
