GENERAL WHEAToN's IDEAS.
All Quiet ON the Rio &rande-Needs
of the Enltstcd NIen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. o. 1S94.-General
Frank Wheaton. commanding the De-
partment of Texas, in his annual report
on the military operations and affairs
of his department, says but few at
tempted violations of our neutrality laws
have been brought to his notice, and
that the Rio Grande border. SO frequent
ly and for so many years the scenes of
turbulance and disorder, has been un-
usually quiet during the past twelve
months. He renews his former recon-
mendations for the establishment of per-
manent and larger posts on the Mexican
frontier, expressing the opinion that
there will always be a necessity for the
presence of troops in this section, and
adding that they should be appropri-
ately ouartared, occupying, as they do.
such remote stations
There should be a mounted force of
the troops at Fort Bliss. Fort McIn-
tosh should be appropriately located
ard enlarged to a garrison of four troops
of cavalry and one or more companies
of infantry, and for the adequate guard
Ing of the Lower Rio Grande the Fort
Brown garrison should be materially In
creased at or near Eagle Pass, opposite
Perfirio DiaZ, Mex, where much Ameri-
can capital is invested, there should be
q garrison OF at least one company of
infantry and two troops of cavalry.
The necessity of a mounted force at
Fort Bliss was demonstrated in Novem-
Der last when, to investigate promptly,
reports that armed bandits were threat
entng to cross the bOroer, 1t was neces-
sary to move infantry in wagons at night
to the point reported menaced.
Gen. Wheaton makes the following
reference to the improvement of the
condition of the enlisted mem
I"Something more can readily be done
by Congress to elevate and improve the
condition of the soldier without cost
to the nation, and give him an addi-
tional incentive for the prompt and faith
full performance of his duties. All nom
commissioned officers cannot earn the
rank of commissioned officer, but re-
ward to an honorably discharged soldier
of a civil service certificate after six
or more years service, insuring to him
preference in certain grades of Govern
ment employment, would certainly bene-
fit the public service generally, and at
once greatly stimulate and improve the
military arm; such a law would speedily
dispel the feeling of discomfort and un-
rest that necessarily exists more or less
in all armies in time of peace, by secur-
ing to the faithful soldier a passport to
preferment in civil service employment,
and where discharged soldier finds no
vacancy obtainable@ in Government en-
ploy, State, municipal and large business
establishments would certainly desire TO
secure the services of such trained men
upon whose character and efficiency they
could confidently rely"

MAJOR PANGBoRN's BAD DREAM.
He Thought There sysre Burglars in
the House and Yelled ssPolices,.

Major Pangborn received a severe shock
last night and incidentally raised a small
riot in the peaceful neighborhood of
Bramhall and Arlington avenues.
1t was the girls night out, SO the
Major had eaten supper little late.
This is bad thing for elderly men with
impaired digestion. After supper the
Major settled himself In his easy chair
to think over his sins of the week. The
Major decided he had done nothing to
worry about, and fell asleep.
But conscience or the cold mutton lay
uneasy with the Major and he dreamed
that Consolidated Traction trolley car
had butted him in the stomach. This
woke him up and--he heard a noise.
1t was a mysterious noise and Ii came
from the cellar It sounded as though
a key were being softly fitted In a key
hole. For a moment the Major smiled
as memories of the good old days fitted
through his mind. Only for moment,
and then all the mysterious midnight
marauders who have been operating on
the Hill filed like Banquo's ghost before
his eyes. He looked at the olock-it was
only nine, but the noise grew louder.
Then the Majors military training
stood him in stead. One of the first rules
he learned in the army was. put safe
|
until you can holler for help. The noise
came from the kitchen, so the sarret ap-
pealed to the Major as safe place"
under strict Interpretation of the rule
From the garret window he .'hollered
for help The carrying power of the
Majors tenor Is well known and his cries
for Police" soon drew a crowd.
No one seemed to take the Major seri-
ously until the servant girl came along.
To her the Major piped directions to
telephone for Police" She went to
Undertaken Bakers at No. 937 Grand
street, and telephoned that the police
were to come right around to Major
Pangborn's house as there was burglar
In the cellar.
Captain McKaig responded with the
patrol wagon and the Major from the
garret window told the police that there
was a burglar in the cellar. With eau
tion and drawn revolvers the police open
ed the cellar and braced themselves for
rush. There was no rush, nothing came
out but the odor of the cellar and a big
yellow cat that purred softly and lay
down beside the kitchen range.
The police went away, the mob dis
persed and the Major went back to his
easy chair and took up the interrupted
communion with his conscience.
The Major said this morning that the
cold mutton had given him dyspepsia and
he had had a bad dream.
