Report of the Commissary General of Sub

the Emergency Ration.

Gen. Thomas G. Sullivan, commissary
general of subsistence, has made his an
nual report of the operations Of that de-
partment to the Secretary of War The
total resources for the last fiscal year were
S2,GS,sJ4. OF which there was a total unex-
pended balance at the close of the year of
3545. The total cost of subsistirg the
army during the year was 81 ,972, 7O3 The
sum of $I5.SS1 was expended for the re lief
of the sufferers from overflow of the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries and the Red
River of the North, under special act of
Congress. OF the total appropriations on
that account there is a balance on hand of
$2O.6 .639.
The Emergency Ration.
Gen. Sullivan says that an experimental
trial OF the emergency ration was under
taken by Troop E. 1st Cavalry. at Fort Sill,
OKLA. upon twelve days practice march
in May, 1897.
This march was made the occasion for
the first practical test of the emergency
ration. For the first two days the men
were subsisted on the full field ration and
Tor the remaining ten days officers and
men came down to the lialf-allowance
emergency ration prescribed by general
order No. 40. The march was generally
across country, Off wagon roads, and tie
average number of miles covered per day
In the ten days test was twenty-one. The
weather UP to the last two days of the
march was exceptionally fine, and then
heavy and almost continuous rains set in.
Gen. Sullivan says: 1.-The test was rlade
under conditions in which the men were
not affected by the excitements, anxfeties
and fatigues attendant upon dangerous
proximity tc, or actual conflict with. an
enemy. AS test under the conditions
given, the results seem to go a long way
toward establishing the efficiency Of the
emergency ration as a means of sustaining
the muscular power and activity of men
under prolonged physical strain; but its
full efficiency needs yet to be tested by
men situated In or moving in a more crit
ical environment"

During the year sS.44S was expended on
account of the Apache Indian prisoners at

DEMAND Fon SMALL COIN.
Difficult for the Mfnts to Keep Pas
With 1t.


With 1t.
The orders given to the mints at San
Francisco, Philadelphia and New Orleans
to resume the coinage of silver dollars
have no Significance. For the months of
July. August and September no silver
dollars were coined at any OF the mints,
but at Philadelphia last month the
amount was only 100000. 1t is not
expected that the three mints will coin
over 100000 during the coming month.
The coinage would be greater. but for the
fact that all three mints are doing their
best to turn out Subsidiary coin for which
there is q demand hardly to be kept up
with. The mints are also turning out their
regular amounts of gold. The silver bullion
in the treasury, amounting to- about 1l5,-
0,000 ounces. is being used in the coinage
which has been ordered.
The heavy demsnd for subsidiary coin
for several months Is considered one. of
the best Indications OF increasing pros
perity.
