United States ARMY, which was made
public Yesterday, differs is many re-

points, and to the admirable conduct
of the experienced army officers VINO
have been placed in charge OF the
principal agencies While it is eco
numical and desirable to have the re-
serve forces of the army near the great
centers of communication, Gen Miles
urgently contends that these points
should be selected for their strategic
value and that the tendency towards
concentration should not be carried to
the point of depriving the western set
Elements of proper protection.
Under the head of coast defense,
Gen. Miles states that the condition OF
these defenses is such as to require de-
c;ded and immediate action for their
Improvement. Some progress has peen
made towards defending San Francisco
and a few modern guns and rifles nave
been placed. These, however. are put
a small part of what is needed 1or tne
defense of the harbor, while San Diego
is in the same condition as Puget

ade every important port on the facilc
coast within thirty days. The entlre

Consolidated Electric Light Company,

from the United States court for the

is to throw open both systems to the

DIR. SCRUGGS' SERMON.
His Exposition Sermon Able, Enj oya BILE,
and Instructive.


Indeed, the impressive, elevating and
logical sermon so forcibly delivered by
the Rev. DR.. Scruggs, on Sunday night,
Nov. 8, at the Methodist church, so
thoroughly descriptive as it was of the
wondrous works and associations of God,
, His divine will shown very clearly
to have been and being daily exs
ecuted by instrumental humanity, as
might be incidentally termed the men
and women of His wise creation who are
in the world for more than mere exist
'ence, was truly a great treat. That it
was duly and heartily appreciated by
those of the gifted and eminent diviEe's
assemblage is saying but very little in
recognition of that splendid and worthy
sermon, timely as it was and which
could not fail to arouse within m any a
heart and soul the best and Invest senti-
ments.
That this exquisite sermon will long
1 'e remembered, as well as others !Of DR..
Scl uggs' composition rendered in the
past, by all SO fortunate as to have heard
it goes without further assurance. Con-
that educational and religious
are very fortunate and hap
by possessions, both going hand in hand
and making one essential combination
for the higher development
of mankind, it must be said, and de
too, that DR.. Scruggs on Sun
day night added much to materially
widen the knowledge of the many who
we're present. His ardent and eloquent
delivery, the very sublimity of his elo-
ouence, his strong and ingenious charac-
teri sites so prominently displayed in !
giving strength to his able sermons, the !
splendid memory he possesses and the
minute details with which it isIinvarably |
impressed after having once seen or
heard anything, and that he seems ever
abundantly supplied with material from
which to construct his delightful ser
mons, are decidedly admirable. Not |
