PREPARATION NECESSARY.
General TILES Talks on the Subject
of Defenses.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. 23.-
About $50 descendants of the Pilgrim
Fathers sat down tonight at the Cont
mental Hotel at the fifteenth annual din
ner of the New England Society. The
principal speaker of the evening was Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles, who responded to
the toast, "The Army and Navy"
General Miles speech was directed
toward showing our defenseless position
in the event of war and the necessity of
preparation for war in the time of peace.
General Miles advocated the increase of
our standing army and the construction of
sea-coast and harbor defenses.
He instanced China as nation that be-
lieved in the fallacy that it was uncon-
querable because of its immense popula-
ton and great national resources. General
Miles contended that in these modern
times it is necessary to spend long years
of preparation before a country is in a
position to make war or withstand as
sault.
In reference to arbitration General Miles
expressed the fervent hope that all diff
culties between nations could be settled
by arbitration, but he asked the question
what good arbitration was when one ma
ton was weak and the other bully.

TRAGEDIES IN KENTUCKY,
Five Men Slain During One Days
Encounters in the Blue
Grass State.
Shooting ARRAYS in Which Variou.
Motives Figured and Death
EnSued.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 23.-Five TRACE
dies are reported from different parts of
the State to-day.
Near Eckton, Love Henderson and John
Bailey met at a disorderlv house. They
quarreled and at once began shooting.
After both had emptied their pistols with
out effect, Henderson picked up a shot
gun and fatally shot his antagonist.
Near Hodginsville, Tom Friend, sup
posed heretofore to be a harmless i'm.
becile, saw Tom Carrice riding by. With
out any provocation save the promptings
of an insane whim, -he fired the contents OF
double-barreled shotgun into Carrice,
wounding him fatally.
In the upper part of Barren County,
negro highwaymen attempted to hold up
a party of white men. The negroes were
pursued and one Montford Gatewood was
killed.
A. NJ. Logan, prominent farmer fiving
near Madisonville, attacked and killed a
young man named Coates. Logan is sup.
posed to be crazy, as no cause can be
ascribed for his deed.
At a negro festival in Christian County
near HopkinsvilIe. Jerry Pettis shot AL
bert Thomas in the arm. Thomas shot
Pettis through the body, causing instant
death.

Their Bodies Cast Into Their
Home, Which the Fiends
Had Fired.
FATE OF OTHERS IN DOUBT.
It Is Feared That Ellerson's Aged
Parents Have Been Slain by
the Indians.

PHGNIX, ARIZ., Dec. 23.-Perley Eller-
son, rancher, and his wife and two chill
dren were M ordered and their home near
Payson postoffice, about 100 miles from
here, burned by Apaches last Friday.
Their bodies were cast into the flames and
incinerated. The home of Ellerson' 8
father, which is quite near, was also be-
sieged. but it is not known whether he has
shared the same fate.
The scene of this terrible tragedy is
abou. two miles from the line of the San
Carlos Reservation, near the head of
Pleasant Valley, a beautiful farming coun-
try watered by Canyon Creek.
About six years ago Ellerson left his
home in Bonneville, Mo-, and came to Ari-
zona. After looking the ground over he
finally located a homestead beyond the
Tonto Basin and near the Apache reserva-
ton. He had not long been married when
be came, and the passing years brought
with them a fair haired girl and sturdy
boy, whose prattling laughter blessed the
homestead on the frontier. The years
brought wealth, too, for Pleasant Valley is
fertile spot, and crops grew and thrived
right we'll.
Later Ellerson sent for his parents, a
gray-haired couple, who located home.
stead near by. It seemed like home then,

FOR THE COMMISSION.
Cleveland Looking to Colleges to Get
the Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-The
Venezuelan boundary commission will
probably not be announced by President
Cleveland until the latter part of this
week or the first of next week. It will
consist most likely of three members.
The Presidents aim is to put on the COM
mission only such men as will inspire re-
spect and confidence on both sides of the
Atlantic, and whose requirements will be
acknowledged by the world OF statesman
ship, science and letters.
In making the selections men with
whom politics is simply an incident and
not their profession will be preferred, and
one close to the President is authority for
the statement that probably not single
name so far mentioned will be found on
the commission.
The President is searching the universi-
ties and colleges of this country for suita-
BILE men. The high standard which the
President has set for the commission re-
stricts the circle from which the members
can be chosen, and in this sense simpliies
the work.
Secretary Olney is in daily consultation
with the President on the matter.

WILL AWAIT CONGRESS.
No Present Issue of Bonds by the
Treasury.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-Until
Congress acts or it is demonstrated that it
will not act no issue of bonds is antici-
pated at the Treasury Department. Moth
ing has occurred to-day or during the past
few days to change the opinion of officials
there, as predicted in these dispatches last
week following the Presidents message to
Congress, that the President would allow
Congress reasonable time to formulate
financial relief measures, and if it failed
and the situation demanded it he would
sell bonds under the redemption act to
build up the treasury gold reserve. That
opinion still prevails.
kilograms have been pouring in on Sec
retary Carlisle and the President all day
from financial centers regarding the Treas
ury situation and the Venezuelan matter.
Secretary Carlisle conferred with the
President several times, and both were
mucn relieved at the apparent return of
confidence as evidenced in the rise in the
prices of American securities at home and
abroad,

THE NEW BATTLESHIPS.
Suggestions That VIII Be Considered
BV the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-It IS
learned that the suggestions made to Sec
retary Herbert that he recommend Con-
gressional appropriation for the construc-
tion of four more battleships of the Kear-
sarge type, in order that contracts for their
construction might be awarded to the
three bidders for building the two author
lied by the last Congress, and thus secure
advantage of the economical propo-
sails made, were submitted Informally by
members of the Board of Bureau Chiefs
and were not embodies in their formal re-
port, the decision having been reached
that it was outside the province OF the
board to make such recommendations
officially.
The board was merely called upon to
examine and report upon the bids offered.
Nevertheless the suggestions will have all
the force of formal report, in which form
they would probably have been embodied
inconsistent with the functions of the
board.
The recommendation of the board, as
shown in the formal report, is that the
bids of the Newport News Ship-building
and Drydock Company for constructing
the Kearsarge and her mate, on plans pre-
pared by the Navy Department, be ac-
cepted; provided, however, that the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco be given the
opportunity of scaling its figures to fig
ure acceptable to the Secretary, in which
event it is recommended that the Newport
News Company be given the contract for
building one ship and the Union Iron
Works the contract for the other.
In the informal but nevertheless semi
official manner previously noted the Sec
retary is urged to consider the report and
its recommendation as contingent only on
his rejection of the plan propose for secur-
ing six battleships in place of two.
How much this radical proposition has
impressed the Secretary cannot be ascer-
tanned, as he has given no hint of his
views on the matter. The suggestion,
however, will undoubtedly be given con-
sideration by the President and Cabinet
before Mr. Herbert acts, should he be in
clined to look upon it favorably.

and the settlers say it was fair and happy
spot.
Last Friday morning Ellerson and his
family awoke to find their house on fire
and as they dashed from the building they
were shot down by small band of Apaches
lying in wait for them to appear. Then
their bodies were cast into the burning
building.
This all that is known of the horrible af-
fair, for none who were present but the In
dians survived. Payson is only small post
office, and there being no Sheriff's force
near by the crime has so far gone unpun-
ished. 1t is not known whether the old
couple are alive yet, but the news of the
massacre has awakened intense excite
ment here, and citizens posse has al
ready begun to outfit for a journey, during
which they hope to overtake and punish
the red fiends.
Sheriff Thompson of Gila County at
Cibicu some weeks ago took the life of
only one Apache. but Arizona is paying
dearly for his rash and unconsidered act.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-Repre-

ing the President to invite tie govern
ments of other American republics to ap-
point plenipotentiaries with full power to

ington within one year from the approval
of this act for the formal acceptance and

The bill names the Secretary of State as

ing for the reciprocal interchange of

:. WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-The
Senate was not in session to-day. The
session of the House lasted but hall an
hour, when adj jou rnment was taken until
tomorrow. Dingley (R.) of Maine stated
that the Ways and Means Committee were
of the unanimous opinion that IL would be
unwise to take holiday recess until re-

earnest request for some action in regard
TO the financial situation. The committee
now had such measure under consldera-

by courier from the sandhills forty miles
north of here tell of the assassination Fri
day night of Will Helm, stockman, who
was shot from ambush. There were four
bullet holes in his BODY and his horse was
also killed. Two years ago Helm shot
II. r. Jacket, but in q trial before Judge
(now Governor) Holcomo he was ac-
quilted.
Threats at that time and since against his
life have been made, and the killing is not
a great surprise. Great fear is felt for the
safety of others, as matters are strained
between Helms friends and his enemies,
the two factions being evenly divided and
equally desperate.

ECONOMY THE ORDER.
Appropriations to Be Reduced to the
Lowest Limit.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 23.-Can-
non of Illinois, chairman of the House Ap-
propriatlons Committee, to-day informed
a United Press reporter that the appropri-
ations for the next fiscal year would be re-
duced to the lowest limit consistent with
the needs of the public service. He ex-
planned that this did not mean a "cheese-
pairing" policy, but that no appropriations
would be made for new work which could
by any possibility be postponed until the
National finances were more redundant.
On the other hand, where new work is
virtually necessary appropriations would
be made for it, even if bonds had to be sold
to procure the means.
