HOW ENGLAND VIEWS 1T.
The London Fnpersrorf the Republi-
can Sweep.


LONDON, November THE Times says
of the elections: 1.-The elections have again
surprised American politicians Republi-
cans were victorious beyond all expecta-
tons. The failure to Break Tammany is
discouraging. Such is the state of Amer
lean politics in the absence of any great
issues Except the tariff and the currency,
upon which the conten1ins parties are un-
able or unwilling to range themselves face
to face that it is impossible to predict the
result of the presidential election. Per-
haps the democrats have the most cause to
regret the success of Tarlinanyi for some
CT Tammany's moral .liscredit is bound to
fall upon the democratic party
The Daily News QiberaD says: 1.-The
elections are going so markedly in favor of
the republicans that the presidential seat
is all but safe fer the next year. Tam
many's success in New York city is OF no
real Importance. and Will not stop the re-
forms.
The Chronicle diberaD says: "It is quite
clear that there is no real democratic re-
vival. We regret, but are not surprised at
the victory OF Tammany In New York.
1t carries an important moral for our too
extreme temperance friends.
The Post Conservative says: 1.-THE gen.
eral result confirms the opinion that the
reaction against the democrats which was
SO conspicuous last November is still in
operation The democratic success in New
York city was truly remark able and was
doubtless partly due to the Intolerance of
the reforming party
The Globe, this afternoon commenting
upon the elections in the United States,
says:
I'VE think no question is likely to arise
before the presidential year which will
bring the democrats back to power. So far
as our relations with the United States are
concerned, the issue is of exceedingly little
importance, involving no other change than
another ambassador here. But real regret
IS felt In this country at Tammany's vic
tory. The reformers did not know how to
use their newly acquired power with dis
| erection. and to them alone must be ascribed

URGED TO BE FAITHFUL.
Address of the Kaiser to u Number O1
Recruits,

Address of the Kaiser to Il Number of
Recruits.
BERLIN, November T.-Emperor William
today enjoyed one of those military displays
which have become remarkable of recent
years from the fact that he takes advantage
of such occasions to make some utterance
which is commented upon for long time
afterward. He did not fail to do so today
and although there was nothing astonishing
in his address. it contained sharp reference
to socialism.
The cause of the military turnout today
was the swearing in of the recruits of the
regiments Of the guard which was accom-
panied ~ the usual ceremonies. His ma
jesty then made short speech to the young
soldiers, reminding them that they now be-
longed to his army and bidding them es-
pecially to be mindful of the honor which
was theirs in being attached to the guard
He added:
Before all things, you should trust to
God to preserve your own honor and be
faithful to your emperor and country, wheth-
er against foreign or an internal foe"
Gen. Won Wintefeldt then called for three
cheers for the emperor, which were heartily
given by all present and the ceremony of
administering the oath Of allegiance to the
young soldiers just joining was concluded
with a march past Of all the troops assem-
bled.

PAY AND BOUNTY.
Report of the Auditor for the War
Department.

department..
In his annual report to the Secretary of
the Treasury the auditor for the War De-
partment says that the work of the pay and
bounty division is still about eighteen
months behind, notwithstanding there has
been a gradual gain on the back work dur
ing the last three years. He says the num-
ber of claims on hand has been reduced
by SIG during the fiscal year ending June
80. 1893, and by 6,7oO during the fiscal year
ending Jure 80, 1894, and still further re-
duced by 1872 during the last fiscal year.
which has brought the work up to claims
filed in 1894 At the same rate of gain on
this back work, he says, it will require the
present force at least four years to bring
the work up to date, If as many new claims
continue to be filed; but that an increase of
twenty-five clerks would enable this work
to be brought up to date within two years
He recommends that this increase of force
be made, i'll order that all just claims for
pay and bounty due to soldiers and to the
families of deceased soldiers may be paid
more promptly.

NAVAL SUPPLIES.
Stewart On the PurchnSea Made.

In his annual report to the Secretary of
the Navy, Paymaster General Edwin Stew
art recommends an increase of the navy
supply fund from 100000 to $JOo.00O, as in
the interest of economy, the bureau thereby
being enabled to keep On hand an adequate
supply of needed materials at the different
yards purchased after advertisement, in
stead of being obliged, as at present to pur-
chase them in the open market on emer-
gency applications. He shows clearly the
great enconomy effected by the application
of this plan in the past, saying that careful
ly drawn specifications, wide competition
and rigid inspections have enabled the de-
rartment to meet its requirements during
the past year with supplies of unusual ex-
cellence at surprisingly low prices.

for the Maryland boss, aud with declining
to extend Il desired courtesy To his oppo-

THIS charge is made a gaiDst Commissioner
Truesdell WHO, voluntarily, gave to the
press yesterday a statement with respect
to the = accusation, a 5 made by the Baltimore

The Sun correspondent rendered Il written

The conversion of men to belief in the
doctrine taught by Jesus of Nazareth has
proceeded under widely varying forms
ever since the institution of Christian re-
ligion on earth. Saul of Tarsus was stricken
down on the road to Damascus and arose
Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles.
Philip and the eunuch drove along the
highway, talking over the scriptures to-
gether, and the eunuch became convinced
that the new religion was the true and ac-
cepted 1t without any struggle or apparent
startling manifestation. He said quietly
when they reached q convenient pool,
''What hindereth that l should be bap-
tized?"
The effect upon the life is even more d.

a careless, foolish vioiator Of all laws, hu-
man and divine, into u thoughtful, law
abiding citizen.
Another will be touched only as light
wind ruffles the surface of a stream with
out changing the currents below.
1t is with him as with the negro boy be-
fore the war who went to the plantation
meeting and got religion" When he got
back he had a chicken with him. His old
nanny could not reconcile that with his
having got religion. She questioned him
closely about the pullet, which she was
handling critically and affecttonately the
while. He said he got It at Marse Henry's
coop.
