By treating the plants in this way one
is able to know what kind of a rose is
being planted, which IS not always the
case when one plants from name.
Large rose bushes can best be moved
in the fall and should be cut back very
severely to correspond with the neces-
sary trim ming of the roots, To make a
success of roses one must have the right

Defence OF SEAPORTS.
General Cralghill Says That 10 Another
Year the Country viii Be One.fifth
Prepared to Resist Attacks.

Washington. Nov. 1.-Under the head
of Notifications in his annual report
General Craighill. Chief of Engineers,
says that detailed projects have been
approved for the artillery defence of
Portland, Me-; Portsmouth, N. H.; Bos-
ton, Narragansett Bay, eastern en-
trance to Long Island Sound (partiaD.
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Washington, Hampton Roads, Will
mington, N. c.; Charleston, Savannah,
Key West, Pensacola, Mobile. New Or
leans, Galveston, San Diego, San Fran
CISCO mouth of Columbia River and
Puget Sound. In addition partial pro-
jects have been approved for the de-
fence of the lake ports, Cumberland
Sound, Kennebec, New Bedford, PEN
obscOt River New Haven and New
London. Complete projects for the de-
fence of these places are under con-
sideration, ana also for Port ROYAL, 3.
c.. and Tortugas, Fla.
During the year there have been nego-
tia tions for the purchase of sites at
Charleston, Baltimore, Narragansett
Bay and Portland, Me. At several
points where fortifications are urgently
desired nothing can be done, because the
land has not yet been acquired. The
appropriat tion of $5OO,OO0 made by the
last congress for the purchase of sites
has been pledged, and to continue the
work an appropriation of the same
amount for next year is requested.
General Craighill urgently recommends
an appropriation of 100000 for the
preservation and repair of fortifica-
tions, saying that, as a result of the
failure of congress to make proper pro-
vision in the past for their care, the
ungarrisoned Notifications and reser-
vations are now in deplorable state,
with the perishable portions almost
worthless, and the heavy masonry
work slowly being destroyed.
He says that the work of preparing
empacements for guns has been push
ed with much vigor where the money
was available, particularly at New
York, Delaware River and Charleston.
The first consideration was to provide
for the needs of the seaports for which
projects are approved, so as to protect
as many as practicable against isolat-
ed cruiser attacks. OF guns of large
calibre there are total Of GIG, and of
mortars 1,072, for which emplacements
these congress has provided for 10 per
cent. Of the guns and Is per cent. Of
the mortars. These figures, says Gen
eral Craighill, show approximately
what will be the condition of the coun-
try at the end of 1897 to resist attacks
on the coasts by a first-class power
as judged by expert opiniOn-that is,
as regards coast defence the country
in another year will be about One-fifth
prepared.

enlarging upon the effects free silver
would have in running the farmers
market and the Industries of the coun-
try.
Another brief run brought the party
to kendallville, where u crowd of about
5000 surrounded a stand erected a few
yards from the station. General Har-
rison was escorted to the stand by the
Reception Committee. who had board
ed the train at Waterloo. and was re-
ceived with prolonged cheering. He
was introduced by A. ]. Graves, and
spoke about fifteen minutes.
AT Ligionier the arrival of the train
was greeted with loud cheering from
the crowd of about 1000 people about
the stand. General Harrison was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering. and
talked about fifteen minutes, declaring
that the victory was already won. The
Bryan people were basing their hopes

DELAWARE NOT DOUBTFUL,
Hugh &. Browne Says the State will
Give Mckinley l,5OO Majority.

Wilmington. Del, Nov. Hugh c..
Browne, chairman of the Republican
state committee, this afternoon tele-
graphed the United Associated Presses
as follows:
THE reports that Delaware is doubt
full for Mckinley are without founda-
ton. 1t is untrue that. because Mr..
Addicks lay down. the Republican vote
was not qualified.
1T was never better qualified by pay
ment of poll taxes and full registra tion
than this year. Mr.. Addicks' organiza-
tiOn did not qualify the vote. That was
done by the regular Republicans, who
are in excellent shape. The assertion
that the financial condition Of Mr. Ad-
dicks had anything to do with qualify
ing the vote, is not true. We undertook
and completed the work. Delaware will
surely give Mckinley 1000 majority,
barring treachery"
