VALUE OF TELEPHONES.
Utility In Time of War Cannot Be
Estimated.


Gen. Greedy, chief of the signal service
of the army, in his annual report, shows
the great value of the telephone In mod
ern warfare and cites the present war in
the east as an illustration of the utility of
the telephone. He says that experience has
shown that electrical connections are in
dispensable to the success of an army oper-
ating on a base apart from the general
telegraphic system. "Appreciating this
fact" he says, 1.-The work of the signal
corps for the past few years has been given
to experim en- tai work in the equipment of
its flying telegraph lines so that 1T may be
ready for any possible emergency, and the
system is so arranged that 1t looks to per-
forming temporary telephone service,
whether between headquarters of a regi-
ment and separate companies or an army
and It's different divisions, and whether
| such operations pertain to garrison, camp,
or actual conflict
Gen. Greedy says that the signal corps
is experimenting with great military bal
loon for purposes of war, but that he is
not yet ready to announce the result. I'm
der such conditions as existed during the
recent labor troubles Gen. Greedy says
that the operati of captive balloon
| provided with electric and telephone con-
nections with the commanding general,
| offer an unequaled means Of observing and
reporting instantly the movements Of tie
hostile parties, thus placing them practi-
| the officer in command of the military
forces.
In regard to the national militia, Gen.
Greedy says: Every opportunity has been
| improved to cultivate cordial relations with
| the militia and National Guard of the va
ricuS states. The interest in signaling
which developed several years ago in the
National Guard of the several states has
proved to be permanent. Requests for
| equipments are frequent, despite the mega
| tive answers necessarily made. Informa-
| ton is always gladly given, but unfortu-
nately the signal corps Is not authorized
under existing law to issue equipments to
the militia Over half the states have ask
ed for signal equipments and stores with
the desire that the cost thereof should be
charged against their allotment of the per-
manent appropriation made by Congress
for the militia Despite the inability of the
militia to procure signal equipments under
the same regulations governing the issue
of other military stores, signal corps have
been organized in several states although
necessarily equipped at private expense"

LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.
How Our English Cousins Look on the
Election Results.

LONDON, November S.-The afternoon
newspapers of this city continue the COM
ments upon the recent elections in the Uni
ted States The comments of the morning
newspapers have already been called to the
Associated Press.
The Westminster Gazette says:
THE return of Coxey to Congress is a
pleasing sign of the times. According to all
accounts he is better man than his enc
mics make out, and there is every reason to
believe that he will exercise a healthy in
fuence at Washington.
while Mckinley has triumphed and VIII
son has been defeated, the decision of West
Virginia must be source of great regret to
many Englishmen. Wilson is man of high
character and broad views, and his non
success is distinct loss to Congress"
The Globe remarks:
1.-The main cause of the democratic col
lapse was the pitiable weakness displayed
by that party over tariff reform. The re-
publicans will make profound mistake IL
they interpret their astounding victory as a
triumph of protection. What 1t does repre-
sent is the Indignation and disgust of a
great and resolute nation at being half
ruined by feebleness and incapacity in high
places"
The st. James Gazette says:
Wilson himself, the author of the anti
Mckinley tariff bill, the promise of which
was supported by President Cleveland be-
fore his election with such show of moral
indignation against it's predecessors, has
been defeated, and Mckinley is once more
on the flowing tide"
The Pail Mall Gazette has this to say:
Wilson, who fought for the poor man
most calamity, has gone under in the gen.
eral discriminating Indignation; but the
tariff stands where 1T did, and McKinleyism
is forgotten superstition. &c. in certain
way, we may assume that the work is done.
Senator Hill was a democrat, but President
Cleveland Is well quit of him. His defeat is
absolute, and let US hope that it is perma-
nent."

as the Westminster Gazette states. Mr..
CoXey was defeated in the eighteenth con-

BERLIN, November SIT has come to
the knowledge of the United States en-
bassy that the pretense that the prohibit
ton against the landing of American cat
tie in Germany was based on sanitary rea-
sons Is without foundation.
1t appears that the Hamburg sanitary
authorities passed two of the cargoos of
cattle in question as healthy and that there
upon Prussian sanitary officers were or
dered to Hamburg and subsequently an
nounced that the cargoes of cattle were
afflicted with Texas fever.
The cattle shippers of Hamburg are in

thorities, as they have recently built four
cattle steamers for the American service,
