MORE CADETS.

Report of the Board of Visitors to the
West Point Military Academy.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The report of
the board of visitors to the West Point
military academy urges congress to
pass an act which will permit the ap-
poin tment of twenty cadets by the
president, one by each senator and one
by each representative and delegate,
increasing the strength of the corps
from 81, as now authorized, to 469.
1t is recommended that the present
law regarding examinations for ad-
mission to the academy be repealed
and the following enacted:
Apprentices to the military academy
shall be examined under such regula-
tions relative to time, manner. place
and subjects of study as may be pre-
scribed from time to time by the secre-
tary of war;"
The report discusses at length the
low standard for admission to West
Point as compared with Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Johns Hopkins university,
or the better colleges of the United
States, and the military schools of
Europe, and says there seems to be no
reason for permitting the power of
fixing the requisites for admission to
the naval academy to the secretary of
the navy, which could not be urged in
favor of giving the secretary of war
the same power regarding West Point.

BAD INDIANS
Murders Committed In Arizona By
Renegade Apaches.
II 10 Thought They Have Taken Refuge In
the sierra Madrs Mountains, for Years
the Renegades' strong hold-In All
They Committed Six Murders.

DEMINa. N. NJ, Dec. 9.-News from
the scene OF the murders in Arizona,
committed by renegade Apaches from
the San Carlos reservation, state that
the troops from Ft Bayard and Grant
are on the trail and that it leads to the
line Of old Mexico into the Sierra
Madre mountains, the stronghold of
the renegades for years. BY treaty
soldiers can cross the international
boundary to pursue the Indians, but
the country is SO rough and mountains
Gus that it is very improbable that
they will ever get within hundred
miles of the murderers."
In all six murders are reported, the
first crime being committed on last
Monday on Eagle creek, when three
brothers named Hinton aud q man
named Searles were killed and hor-
ribly mutilated. On Tuesday farmer
named Merrill and his 16-year-old niece
were slain in the road six miles west
of Ash Springs The girl had been
outraged and was fearfully mutilated
The scenes are on the borders of the
preservation, and many miles dis
tant from telegraphic communica-
ton, SO that complete particulars
are not obtainable. There were six
Indians in the party, two mounted and
four on foot, but it would be an easy
matter to steal horses for the entire
party. A party of miners from Dun
can, Ariz, left in advance of the SOL
diers, heavily armed and we'll mounted
and at last accounts were following
the Indians within two hours. These
crimes do not indicate an outbreak or
serious trouble. being the work Of a
few murderous bucks whose action is
condemned by the reservation Indians,
who are contented.
All remaining cavalry at Fort Bayard
were ordered out Sunday to make a
forced march into Arizona for the pur.
pose of cooperating with troops al.
ready out, including those from Fort
Grant to assist in the capture of rene.
gade Indians A report was also tele
graphed to Fort Bayard that the citi.
zens posse under the leadership of the
Park brothers which had taken the
trail Immediately after the discovery
of the murders, had engaged in fight
with the Indians near Clifton, Ariz.
and that one or more of the posse ha6
been killed This is not verified but
was telegraphed to the commanding
officer at Fort Bayard. The depart
ment is exerting every effort in the
movement of troops to cut off the banc
from escaping across the border into
old Mexico

BIMETALLISTS
VIII Organize a National Secret Po-
litical Order.
Object: The Restoration Of the Bimstallis
etsudard-The Founder IL Vim. H.
Harvey, Author of "Coin's Financial
school"-Lodges to be Instituted.

CHICAGO, Dec. "a morning paper
says national secret political order,
founded by VIM. H. Harvey, author of
"Coin's Financial School," will file
articles of incorporation with the Sec
rotary Of state at Springfield within
the next few days. 1t is to be known
rs the patriots of America" and its
sole object is the restoration of the
bimettallic standard. Charters, it is
said, have been made out and will be
sent Immediately to at least 1000
lodges in various parts of the United
States.
The immediate purpose of the Or
ganization, as voiced by its founder, is
to take such steps as will compel rec
ognition of the claims Of the bimettal-
lists from ths representatives of the
democratic or republican parties, or
both, when,they assemble in national
convention next summer
Since September a persistent and
thorough canvass of every county in
the United States has been in progress
and thousands of letters were sent
out to the sympathetic leaders of all
parties from Harvey's office in the
Fort Dearborn building.
Thousands of replies came from ev-
cry section of the country, except, it is
said, the New England states, where
the canvass was less aggressively con-
Quoted, and where the interest was
less intense.
Mr.. Harvey, when seen Saturday
night in relation to the founding of the
new order, said that any reference to
the matter might be withheld for a
few days. He was about to leave for
Nashville and expected to return next
Wednesday, when, he said, he would
talk fully. Mr.. Harvey dictated to his
secretary the following formal state
ment in regard to the Patriots OF
America:

The treasurer calls attention to the
falling off in the collections under the
Dow law. The report shows an aver
age falling off of more than 1000 per
year, and loss in the four years of
more than 100000. The receipts for
the past four years from the Dow tax
were as follows: 1892, S537, 056 "a; 1893,
1865. .97; 1894, $532, 426. 80; 1895, $751;
6S4. A.
The treasurer says that the receipts
from all sources to the general revenue
fund were s3,674, ,66675. Of this sum
1921, 252. 81 was disbursed as appropri-
ated receipts in accordance with law,
30 that in fact the net receipts for the
year, from which the definite appro-
priation of 80, $50, 1875. 7S was to be paid
amounted to SO, ,41394, which was
insufficient by more than 800, 900 for
the purpose. The balance on hand at
the beginning of the year was suffi-
cient, however, to meet this and leave
a snug balance at the close Of the fiscal
year.
Mr. Cope has prepared table of
much interest showing the tax levy
for state purposes for the past Is years.
During that time, or since 1880, the
levy for the general revenue fund has
been 4-1O. except for one year, 1885,
when it was 3-1O The total levy has
decreased in the past Is years from
9-1O in 1850 to 1920 in 1896.
In conversation, but not as part OF
his report, Treasurer Cope urges the
necessity of increasing the states per-
manent revenues at least 100000 per
annum. He believes that the Dow tax
should be increased to 5000 and the in.
crease of $50 paid into the general
revenue fund. This would make the
states proportion of the tax collected
one-third instead of one-ifth, as al
present.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. THE fact
that Said Pasha has sought refuge in
the British embassy has caused a great
sensation in all circles. 1t Is impossi-
BILE to foresee the outcome. but the fact
of a native statesman of the highest
rank seeking an asylum in foreign
embassy is recognized everywhere as
indicating an extremely critical situa-
tion which, it is believed, may become
turning point in Turkeys history.
Minister Terrell has received no re-
ply tU his telegram inquiring after the
safety of the missionaries at Kaisacca.
The absence of news increases the
fears that are entertained regarding
them. Mr.. Terrell has sent two notes
to the porte. In the first he demand
ed the arrest, dismissal and punish
ment of the officer commanding the
troops at Marash for failing to
furnish a guard for the missionaries
residences, and also the punishment of
the soldiers who had pillaged the
houses of the Americans. In his Sec

massacre there report was current
that the the Turks had been author
lied to kill Christians during four
hours The Armenians, however, were
assured that they need not fear. New
ertheless on the following day they
were butchered in their shops.
1t is stated that Belir Pasha, gov.
ernor of Amassia, summoned the lead
ing Turks and Armenians and enjoined
them to restrain the populace from
committing violence, declaring that
he would hold them responsible for
any breach of the peace. Notwith.
standing this warning the storm burst
forth at noon while the Moslems were
at prayers. Immediately the alarm
was given, the Turks rushed to their
houses, armed themselves and
began numbering and looting. The

| bloodshed. Soldiers were sent to pro-
tect the American college Toward.
