MISUNDERSTANDING.
In Gen. Miles' Recent Order to Man Certain
Forts.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Referring
to General Miles recent order to
General Merritt, commanding the
department of tho cast, to immedi-
atoly detail men and officers to all
coast defcnso points whore modern
guns arc mounted, it was said ct the
war department today that while Il Q
order was issued as reported IT was
nothing moro than following out tho
plan of tho war q purtment for.
mulated several years ago when tho
present system Of coast defonse WAS
inauguratcd. Tho order calls for at
least 20 mon and tho necessary Off
GERS to take charge of such coast
defence ompls 5omonts rs have been
completed and turned over to the
war department. These defenso
points arc planned and constructed
by tho engineer corps and tho guns
furnished by tho ordnance depart
m"nt. AS soon rs completed they
arc turned ovor to tho war depart
mcnt and mon aro at once detailed
to caro- for tho expensive works and
ordnance. 1t is said that detail of
20 mon, so far from bong an offec.
two fighting force is barely sufficient
to properly caro- for the property.
Thero have boon q number ofthese
cost defense works completed recent
ly and the ordor detailing men to
care for them is merely routine
mattor.
In addition to detailing tho mon, IA
special board is now in session i.
Washington, preparing plans for
permanent quarters at tho various
now posts aud work will be begun
on thoso rs soon ns practicable. The
mon who are stationed ut these now
po.nts will bo drilled in tho uso Of
tho now guns and will form tho
nucleus Of II permanent heavy artil
lery forco which will be augmented
from timo to timo. 1t is for this
aorvico that tho war department has
asked Of congress- two additional
artlllory r"gim cnt and tho officials
express great hopo that this request
will bo speedily complied with as
there are at present not enough men
to effectively man tho many now
works which, in tho development of
tho modern coast dcfenso system,
arc being rapidly completed and
turned over to tho department.
sIosnEE HAS NOT EXPRESSED urNsE1p.
Washington, Fob, 20.-Capt Sigs.
boo today sent two kilograms to tho
navy department on the subject of
interviews with him. Tho first said
81 have consistently rofrained from
Expressing any opinion on the Maino
disastcr."
Later in tho day he wired: "No
newspaper divers have been used on
wreck Of Maine. One man engaged
by mo was subsequently bought up
by newspaper. | declined his
services. Subsequently on his being
Internationally released, I might
have used him in charge of an officer
in recovering bodies, but decided
not to do so. Any interviews with
mo if printed arc untrue"

Tho readers Of Tho Ladies Home
journal are abont as responsive u
clientele as any magazine possesses.
About six months ago tho Philadel,

work was certainly artistic. Besides

plcto specifications Of each house at
minimum cost. Thousands Of poo
pie liked tho plans givon and tho
series has bcon n great SUCCESS for
the magazine. This spring tho bnild-

varying in cost from $500 to 1000
each, will bo started in different
parts OF the country by Journal

The Topeka Capital says it was strange
sl-incidence that the first man killed in the
war tnS rebellion was the father Of En-
sign Bagley, the first man killed in the
Spanish war. The Arkansas City Trareler
says this is not half so strange as the fact
that Ensign Bagley was only twenty-four
yeaas old, and therefore must have been
born about IA years after the death of his
father-LdWrencc journal.
Ephraim Elmer Ellsworth was. the
first soldier killed in the civil war.
He was Colonel of Zouave regiment
and was shot May "A, 1861, by the
proprietor of hotel in Alexandria,
the Marshall House, from the roof OF
which he had torn Confederate flag.
Without knowing definitely we have
always supposed the town aud coun-
ty of Ellsworth, Kansas, to have been
named i'm his honor.

Gard of Thanks.

We desire through the columns Of
the REGISTER TO express our thanks
to the friends who 80 kindly assisted
us during the illness of our daughter
Nellie, and who gave their aid and
comfort when she was called to leave
us; also to the minister who so kindly
gave his services at the grave, and to
superintendent Billbe and the teach
ers of the Normal Institute who left
their work to pay their last respects
to her who was so dear to us.

ability, zeal and honesty that makes
his nomination for the office of
Attorney General a most deserved
promotion. A better selection could
not have been made.
The nomination of Frank Nelson
of Lindsborg will place in the Office
of State Superintendent scholar, a
teacher of experience, splendid
orator and a cultivated, high minded
gentleman. Few young men in the
state have more friends, and none
deserves them more.
w. j. Bailey, of Baileyville, u
farmer and stock raiser by occupation,
broad guaged genialman gentle by
nature, and an honest politician by
choice, will make a great campaign
as the candidate for Congressman-at-
large. He is of the Plumb mould of
men and when the State knows him
as his friends know him, it will be
proud of him.
Perhaps we are predisposed to look
upon this ticket with enthusiasm
because of the fact that every man
on ii is our warm personal friend.
And yet we do not think our judg.
ment is wholly led astray by our feel
ings. 1t is a splendid ticket, nomi-
mated without the suspicion ofjobbery
or bargaining or ring rule, free from
factional ENHANCEMENT. 1t will be
triumphantly elected.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

There can never be convention
which will not result in personal dis
appointments. But laying these aside
and speaking from the standpoint of
one interested only in the success of
the Republican party and the good of
the state, it is but the truth to say
that the Republican convention at
Hutchinson has given the Republic
can party the strongest ticket that
was ever offered for the suffrage of
the people of Kansas.
w. E. Stanley, of Wichita, the can
didate for Governor, is an Ohioan by
birth, ga years of age and resident
of Kansas since 1870, lawyer, an
orator and Christian gentleman. He
is man of the highest character and
of fine ability, who will honor the
high Office to which he is sure to be
elected.
Harry. Richter, of Council Grove,
has had, as a member of the House of
Representatives, the parliamentary
experience which will admirably
equip him to preside over the Senate.
Personally he is one of the most gen.
ial and likable of men, and the united
support of his home town is the best
evidence of his good character.
w. p. smith, of Wyandotte, has
long held "a place in the very front
rank of the lawyers of Kansas City,
Kansas, the ablest bar, probably, of
any city in the State. No one who
knows him would doubt for moment
that his decisions as one of the SUI
preme Judges, would he sound, able
and absolutely honest
George Clark, of Junction City, the
nominee for Secretary of State, is
newspaper man and has been factor
in the public life of the State for many
years. He has IA strong following of
personal friends and his fitness in
every way for the office is unques
toned.
The splendid record made by
George E. Cole in the office of Auditor
under the Morrill, administration is
all the commentator he needs. That
record re-nominated him and it will
re-elect him.
Farnk Grimes, of Wichita county,
Is "a new name to a good many people
at this end of the State, but it is
familiar one and a mighty popular
one all over the short grass country'
Mr.. Grimes is typical of the section
he represents, -blunt, honest, true as
steel to his friends and hustler from
away up the creek They say that
every able bodied man in the county
came down to Hutchinson to root"
for him. A man who inspires devo-
ton like that will do to tie to.
A. A. GODDARD, of Topeka, was
assistant under Attorney General
Dawes, and in that position proved
