or DcfcnSc-Grncrni Miles Wants an -u-
crease, nnh Gives His Reason.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. ll.-In
his annual report to the secretary OF
war, Major General Miles, command
Ing the army, says that fortunately
during tho yenr. the army has been
called upon only to n limited extent to
act either against hostile Indians or
against bodies of men engaged in VIZ
latIng the laws OF the United States, or
international treaty obligations
General Miles recommends Il liberal
appropriation for replacing the present
deCayInG and antiquatcd post buildings
occupied by the army and especially
those on what was formerly the In
dian frontier, with new and sanitary
structures.
General Miles believes that the free
dom OF the country OF late from Indian
outbreaks is TO be ascrIbed TO the fact
that the Indians now receive better
treatment from the government, that
they are more impressed with the
power OF the army to punish them, and
that their affairs are In many cases
managed by competent army officers.
Therefore, he recommends that this
same policy MS 10 the Indians be con-
tinucd General Miles again dcvotes q
large portion Of his report to the con-
sIderatIon of questions Of coast de-
fcnsc and he rencws forc'bly all OF the
Recommendation on that subject made
in his former reports.
General Miles says: IAN unwlsG ar
gument has been made against the
construction OF modern appliances OF
war, on the theory that 1t IS q danger
~ n M In NJ
In some Instances marked protests
have been made against such n M
tlonnl policy. The arguments seem
scarcely worthy OF consideration; yet
Il IL deemed proper to call attention to
tho fact that these national safeguards
are In I'D sense Il menace to any class
OF our CltlEenS,nOt even to the humbleat
Individual; but on the other hand, they
are a protection 10 the life, pronerty
and welfare OF all classes from tho
highest 10 the lowest. They protect not
only the commercial ports, with thcIr
accumulation of public buildings and
private dwellings, commerce and ship
yards, but the factOry. the foundry, the
workshop and also the savings banks
and tho cottages. In fact the destruc-
ton OF our SrCnt commercial and man.
ufacturimg cities would be n national
disaster far more serious and appalling
10 the great masses OF the lnboring
population than 1t would be 10 any
other class of our people"
General MilcS rcnews his former roc
concentrations for an Increase OF the
army IN the ground TINT It has not
kept pace With the Increased wealth of
public and private interests, and hc
suggests that tho enlisted strength 0!

cheney Eor the purposes Of commerce.
il Is expected that the Evansville

held In Cincinnati q year ago. and lar
ger than this yea-. The association Is
short OF funds. but It ia believed that
It's needs will be taken care Of by the
river communities for whIch the asso-
clltiOn exists.
Last nlEh; Governor MacCorllc, OF

thoroughly delighted audience at the
chamber OF commerce on the Nicara-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE exclu-
sivc formation by the Associated Press
that King Oscar II. of Sweden and Nor
way, had been agreed upon M the fifth
and final arbitrator in the Venezuelan
controversy, and that the other four ar
bltratorS would be named by the Judi
clnl authorities OF the two countries, two
by the Lord Chief Justice OF England.
and two by the Chief Justice of tho
United States, has been fully verified
from authoritative sources and the off,
cial announcement Is likely to be made
AT nm carly day.
Those who are best acquainted with
the flcts read with satisfaction the As
sociateu Press report printed to-day
concerning the arbitration, and stated
that 1t covered all essential particulars
and was correct, The additional infor-
nation can be given that the agreement
Is that II King Oscar ii. will be the fifth
or final arbitrator. with the understand
ing that IL his royal functions are such
as to make It undesirable to sit with
the arbltrators he will designate nnoth-
er, probably his chief Justice. to parlic-
lpate in the formal meetings. At the
same time It is the king whom the two
governments Will regard rs the final ar
bitrator, even though he should dcsig-
Nate some one o'servc in formal ca
pacity.
The personnel of the judicial mem
bers OF the commission has not been de-
term!ned. and no names are mentioned
except that the solicitor general OF Eng
land may be one OF those designated.
This, however. will be matter Of sub
seQuent adjustment, rs the exact names
do not appear in the draft OF the treaty.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 1.-THE letter
Of acceptance written by Tom Watson
accepting the Popul!st nomination for
Vice president was to-day made public.
Seven columns uf Watson'S Peoples
party paper was devoted TO II. The let
ter Is supplemented by four columns of
advice TO Populists to sit steady in the
boat and hold their party together" The
editorial tone uf the paper Is one OF full
filed prophecy. Watson declares that
the failure OF the PopulIsts 10 support
Bryan In the close states brought about
Mckinley's election. He goes into n
long review OF the circumstances leading
10 his nomination at 81 Louis and nc
ccpts the vice presidential nomination
''becausc said would" He declares
that X the ST. Louis POpullat convention
had nominated 4 straight POpulist ticket
II would have been elected. II would.
he said. have driven the Hills and Cor
mans where they belonE-in the Repuh-
llcan r1nks-and the BryanS and Blands
would have Joined with the Popullsts.
He complains bitterly OF tie treat
mcnt he has received at the hands Of
the Popullst leaders and addresses
himself particularly to Senator Butler
In this way: Senator, a reform has no
right to exist II It has no valid COM
plalnt 10 make. Popullsts cannot de-
nounce the sins of the two old parties
and yet 50 into political co-partncr-
ship with them. The moment we make

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Westulin-
ster Gazette this afternoon, referring
to the practical settlement OF Venez-
uelan question by submitting 1t to a
court OF arbitration. says: ."The locus
standi Of the United States which the
Marquis OF Salisbury at first denied, Is
now undiSputed and is accepted. even
to the length OF ruling out Venezuela.
We would much rather settle with the
United States, but We naturally look
to the United States 60 so bail for Ven-
ezuela IN return. To this assertion OF
the Monroe doctrine the most satlsfac-
tory point of all Is appended q general
arbitration agreement"
The st. James Gazette asks whether
the agreement will not throw into ar
b!tration 'ail the sparscly settled re-
gion between the SchomburglS line and
the settled territory OF Guiana, which
Lord Kimbarley and the Marquis OF
Salisbury declared they would never
submit to arbitration and whereupon
President Cleveland and Secretary Oh
ney declared they should or the United
States would make them
The Pail Mall Gazette thinks that
hereafter disputes are less likely to oc-
cur now that the principle of dealing
directly with the little republics is set
aside in favor Of negotiations with their
powerful protector"
The Globe welcomes the agreement
because It releases the American gov
ernment from n false and dangerous
pOSitlon" " -s
