OUR FORTS AND GUNS.
Annual Report Shows what We Should Need
In Certain Emergencies.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port Of the board of ordinance and for
tifications was made public Tuesday. 1t
says:
Under the increased appropriations
of the present fiscal year the work of
placing our harbors in a proper state
of defence is making good progress
and if only the sums are appropriated
annually for few years our principal,
ports will present a formidable front
to an attacking fleet. 1t is hoped how
ever, that even more liberal appropria
tions will be made in order that we
may sooner be ready for an emergency
that may arise at any time.
In view of the present serious aspect
of European politics. it is only common
prudence for the nation to be on it's
guard, for should conflict arise we are
liable to be embroiled with some power
whose navy, in the present defenceless
condition of our coasts might destroy
or exact enormous ransoms from our
chief cities. A war, If it comes at all,
will come with no warning and no
time for preparation. The wars of ma
tons occur in cycles of varying length,
but seldom does a generation pass
without great conflict.
Already more than 80 years have
elapsed since our last great war and
another may soon. if the past be a
guide to the future, terminate one of
the longest intervals of peace we have
ever enjoyed. Our engineer depart
ment is ready with the most modern
plans for Notifications, and our
ordnance department is prepared with
designs for guns and carriages that are
equal to any in the world.
If Congress will but increase the APP
preparations to the capacity of those
departments for useful and economical
work it will not be long before our
coasts are secure against the attack of
foreign powers. An effective prepara-
ton for war is the best safeguard
against war.
There is appended the report of the
board on the regulation of sea coast
artillery fire, which recommends in the
construction of the emplacements for
the batteries now being placed in posi-
ton, that due consideration be given, to
the Importance of providing for a sys-
tenn be provided at Fort Monroe, Fort
Hancock and San Francisco harbor
where high power guns, pneumatic
guns and mortar batteries are now in
position or under construction.
The board has visited the various es-
adjustments. doing ordnance work fol-
the government, and was impressed
with the lack of economy that tresults
from the irregularity and uncertainty
with which the work is carried on I'M
preparations.
The board is more than ever CON
WINGED of the wisdom of the recon-
mendation it made in it's last annua
report that regular annual appropria-
tions be made for seacoast defense.

TURKEYS FUTURE.
Powers Considering Scheme tor &
nancia| Control Of Kingdom.
And Nay Not Necessarily Include Sultan as
Future Ruler.

London. Nov. 1S.-The Daily News
claims. on what it declares to be cred
table authority, that the Powers are
considering a scheme for the financial
control of Turkey under European
ministers. 1t says that Sir Edgar
Vincent. an Englishman. governor of
the Imperial Ottoman Bank, is men
toned for the ministry of finance, a
Russian officer will probably be min
lister of war, a F'renchman minister of
the interior, and the Grand ViZier will
remain president of the council of
state. The appointments are being
submitted to the Powers.
1t is said that the heads of the
scheme are:
First. the raising of a loan of e.
100000 and the placing of the police
under European control.
Second, a reduction of the army.
Third, each vilayet to have a Euro
pean receiver. who shall be answerable
to the minister of finance. for collect
ing the taxes and paying salaries.
Fourth. Il complete revision of the
civil and military lists and the removal
of any officers convicted of crimes or
otherwise unfit for office.
Fifth, the entire reorganization of
the gendarmery.
Sixth. no person to be debarred from
holding office. because of his religion.
Seventh. all communities to have
equal rights.
The scheme aims to maintain the m
tegrty of the empire. but does not
necessarily pre-suppose the retention
of Abdul Hamid as Sultan.

The officers fear Adams, who is man
about IS years old and although never
in trouble with law officers before. he is
known to be determined and is not to be
taken easily if he says he will not. They
are afraid to go to the house at night,
because Adams is a shooter for keeps.
The strangest part of this whole affair
Is that the citizens of this town have
largely signed a petition for Adams. re-

and solely, it is supposed on account of
the character of the girl, who bears a
very unsavory reputation.
The officers say he will be taken for

offence if for no other.

day, in which he is made to say that
a war between the United States and
Spain is possible, and that it would be
terrible in it's effects and no one could
predict its end, is a ia IRRIGATION. He
has not spoken to a World correspond

on the contrary, he asserts that the
relations of Spain with the United

than now.

Think what volume of experience
she has to draw from! No physician
living ever treated SO many cases of
female ills, and from this vast expert
cnce surely it is more than possible
she has gained the very knowledge
that will help your case.
She is glad to have you write or call

full of sympathy, with a great desire to
assist those who are sick. If her medi-

you exactly what to do for relief She
asks nothing in return except your
good will, and her advice has relieved
thousands.
Surely, any ailing woman, rich or

Never in the history of medicine has
the demand for one particular remedy
