GEN. MILES REPORTS.

Can Miles has sent to Congress with the new
Army reorganization bill report in which he
ad yocates an immediate increase of the artillery
branch of the service an addition OF 4,Ooo mon
to the Regular Army and about 60 adoitlonai
officers. The artillery requires, he shows, moro
attention than any other department OF the
Government, and if Congress proposes making
large appropriations for Notifications and coast
defenses. il will be necessary to greatly aug
ment tho artillery, which will be charged with
their care and operation. The three-battallon
system, which admits OF modern tactical dfllis,
is urged, aud reduction in the number oil
First Lieutenants of artillery, who. Gen. Miles
states. are responsible for tho stagnaton that
has existed since the war.
Gen. Miles, in discussing the needs OF the
Government from a standpoint of defenses,
both on sea and land, said it is perfectly well
known there is absolute necessity for the In
crease of the artillery branch for the purpose OF
manning protecting and caring for these vain-
able weapons OF war.
As the Government. he continued, has now
at great expense established mortar batteries
and high power guns at Fort Hancock, New
York Harbor, il is necessary that barracks be
erected there for suitable garrison, protecting
and manning the batteries now in position at
that point
In addition to the artillery school at Fort
Monroe, Gen. Miles urges that details DC made
from all the artillery regiments, especiaiIy
from among the subaltern officers, 10 be sta
toned at Fort Hancock, or the adjacent forts
Hamilton, Wadsworth and Governors Island
where they can 20 down every day to Fort
Hancock aud witness the testing Of the high
power guns aud mortars-
Concerning the defenses of the country, Gen.
Miles shows that on the line of the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean the important
cities of Galveston, New Orleans, Mnbilc, Sa-
vannah, Washington, Baltimore and Philadei-
phia are entirely without modern guns. The
few guns that are in position arc obsolete and
of little value, and it cannot be expected that
any one of these batteries could stop single
first class batteship, much less fleet equipped
with the modern appliances of warfare. From
an inspection of the old batteries on the South
ern seaboard, the General has concluded that
they are worse than useless and their removal
alone will require large appropriation.
Gen. Miles does not believe the safety OF the
country can depend on any ono branch of the
] military establishment alone, and is an advo-
cate of n Formidable navy, as we'll as modern
standing army aud complete system of coast
defenses.

argument would in no event inspire either con-
fidence or respect Women may cease to be
women, but they can never learn to be men,
and feminine softuess and grace can never do
the work Of the virile virtues of men. Very
fortunately, this class of discontented women
have not yet been able to en6anger existing
conditions by combinations analogous to trades
unions; nor is it likely they ever will, because
it is doubtful if women, under any circun-
stances, could combine at all. Certain quail
ties are necessary for combination. and these
qualities are represented in women by their
opposites.
Considering discontented women of oil kinds
individually, it is evident that they mRst be
dull women. They see only the dull side OF
things, and naturally fall into monotonous
way of expressing themselves. They have.
also, the habit of complaining, habit which
quickens only the lowor intellect. Where is
there moro discontented creature than good
watch dog? He is forever looking for some
infringement of his rights, and an approaching
step or a distant bark drives him into fury OF
protest. Disseminated women are always ego
lists; they view everything in regard to them
selves. and have, therefore. the defective SYM
pathies that belong to low organizations. They
never win confidence, for their discomfort
breeds distrust and doubt aud, however clever
they may naturally be- an obstrusivc selt with
its train of likings and dislikings. obscures
their judgment, and they take false views OF
people and things. For this reason, it is al
mos. hopeless effort to show them how little
people generally care about their grievances;
for they have thought about themselves so
long and so much that they cannot conceive OF
any other subject interesting the rest of the
world.-North american Rerieic.

Twice each day, the year through. the nag
is saluted at every Army post in the country
where there is ordnance. To fire this salute
costs the Government just $4,000 year, and
but for large supply of old war powder in
stock and useless for other purposes, the cost
would probably have been much greater In the
past 30 years. Now this reserve supply has be-
come practically exhausted. and the authorities
have been looking around to find some cheap
powder capable of making great NOISE, out
not necessarily having great notwithstanding
properties, that will answer for saluting pur'
poses. The old war powder cost 20 cents
pound, but the new prismatic powder used IN
the heaviest ordnance is far more expensive
An inventor of q cheap brand, to cost not over
eight cents q pound, has been found in New
York City, and the Department will order
large supply of this powder to be sent to the
various Army posts where the sunrise and sun
set guns are fired each day.
There is a certain Senator from Western
State who dned with the President one night

he always wears on full.dress occasions, coat
made after design of his own; coat which
combines the elegance of address coat with inc
lines of cutaway, but is neither one nor the
other. When the Senator was ready to start
for the White House some busybody BUSTED
up to him and said "Wby, Senator, aren't you
going TO put on dress coat?" The Senator
drew himself to his full hight. What! l
dress like a waiter?" he said.

sherin Renounces BRYAN.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 17.-Private
kilograms received from Hon. Simon
P. Sherin, eX-secretary of the national
democratic committee, state that he
has renounced allegiance to the Bryan
Sewall ticket. He does not regard the
platform as democratic; he thinks
Bryan is populist and not democrat,
and he does not believe the cause of free
silver will win. The recent fusion of
populists in Indiana is, however, what
caused him to finally make up his mind
to quit the party.
