THE REPORT OF GEN. MILES.
The Military Operations During the Year
Have Been Extra Ordinary, UnususI
and Very Extensive.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H. The report OF
Maj. Gen. Miles, commanding the
United States army, was made public
Thursday by direction of Secretary
Alger. The keynote of the report is
found in one of the opening sentences,
where it is said: 1.-THE military opera
tions during the year have been extra
ordinary, unusual and extensive"
statement which is fully borne out by
the long recital of important events
Which Gen. Miles shows have made the
military history of the year 1898 the
most remarkable since the end of the
civil war.
In point of interest the document
divides naturally into four chapters
for while brief allusion is made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers in
the portion which treats of the war
with Spain.
Under this general head the report
deals with the plans of campaign, OF
ago campaign; with Gen. Miles OPP
crations in Porto Rico, and lastly,
with the important changes in
existing organizations, which are,
in Gen. Miles opinion, necessary
to make the army an effective
weapon for the defense of the country.
There is an entire absence of any evil
dence of direct criticism. though certain
sentences in the report are italfcised.
in an apparent desire to Justify pre-
viously expressed plans of details Of
the campaigns, and, where it deals
with events, the document is largely
made up of a quotation of official dis,
patches.
Treating Of the war, Gen. Miles be-
gins with a statement of the UMPIRE.
paredness of the country, showing how
the vast equipment left by the million
soldiers of the civil war had been dis
sipated or had become obsolete unit:
the tentage, or transportation, ana
camp equipage was insufficient for any
important military operation. He re-
counts the legislation of congress just
prior to the war looking to the in
crease of the army and cites his
own recommendation on April 3 that
30, 900 men be provided for coast de.
tense and reserve; that the regular
army be increased and 10000 immuncs
recruited, making force of 1852, 597
men, which with $4,000 native auxil-
iaries he considered sufficient. Such a
force pr operly equipped, he believed tc
be better than large force partly
equipped.

A H0LD-UP IN MINNESOTA.
Through Train on the Great Northe. n
Railway Robbed by Eight Armed
Road Agents.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE
Great Northern through train. which
passes through this city at 7:3O p. m,
was held up and robbed about five
miles west of here Thursday night.
There were eight robbers in the gang,
all well armed. Two of them evident
ly boarded the blind baggage
in this city. The train was
scarcely out of town when
these two climbed over the
tender, and presenting revolvers, told
Engineer Brace and his fireman to stop
at a lonely spot near the Pelican river
bridge. Arriving at this place the train
was stopped and the engineer and fire
men were ordered to leave the cab.
The other members of the gang rushed
from the woods and boarded the ex-
press car. All wore handkerchief
over their faces. The gang was regu.
larly organized and went by numbers.
When the train stopped the conduct
or and brakeman started forward to
find out what the trouble was, but the
bandits fired a number of shots and
warned them to keep back. They then
compelled the express messenger to
leave the car, and while three or four
stood guard, the others proceeded to
blow the safes. The local SAFE
was destroyed and it was thought
that they succeeded in secur.
ing considerable money, but the
exact amount can not be learned. The
through safe was drilled and dyna-
mited, four charge, being used. The
jacket was blown off. but it was found
impossible to reach the inner part and
get at the cash. They worked over it
nearly two hours. holding the train
for that length Of time, but gave up
finally and joining their companions
on the outside. started south. The
two men who stood guard over the
engineer compelled him to give up
$40. which he had upon his person. The
express car had been somewhat wreck
ed by the explosion. but the trainmen
managed to get it to Carlisle, where it
was patched up and the train proceed
ed on its westward journey. Conduc-
tor Smith sent trainman back to this
city to give the alarm. but nothing
has as yet been heard of him.
Several posses are out but no trace
Of the robbers has yet been reported.

CHAPTER XIV.

just about noon, when the hospital
attendant was away at dinner, the doc
tor at Buxton's and Whitaker getting
a nap after his night of vigil, only Hop
Ling was on duty over Randy. Hell
probably sleep until late in the after
noon," the doctor said, when he looked
in at II, and so perhaps he might have
done. Grafton, before starting, had
taken the responsibility of removing
Florence's ominous looking missive and
placing it with other letters on the
mantel in the little parlor. He could
not feel justified in hiding it entirely.
He felt that when Merriam woke the
truth would have to be told him, and
perhaps Florence's own words might
best explain her flight. At all events
DR.. Leavitt had promised to be on
hand 20 see that the news was not too
abruptly broken, and Leavitt counted
on a long sleep and upon subsequent
drowsiness and languor as the result of
his treatment. No one had dreamed of
the possibility of such rude awakening
as came. No woman in her right senses
Drained, desperate measure resorted to
by Mrs. McLane. What she hoped to
learn, what she expected to gain, what
papers or information she still believed
him to possess, who can say? The pow
er of reasoning, driven from her by the
Supplying drug that of late had over
mastered its weak and willing victim,
leemed to have utterly gone, leaving in
its place only something of the craft
0nd cunning that possess the insane.
No sooner was Mrs. Grafton out of the
way, than, rousing suddenly, Fanny
had summoned Annette, had FASTENED
through her toilet, and, barely slipping
the coffee rendered her, had thrown a
light wrap over her head and shoulders
and fitted out of the house, out past
the stable at the rear, and, to the amaze
of the sentry on No. 2, had scurried
away along the fence, had easily located
the Merriams' gate, the number on
which correspondent with that of their
quarters, and in another moment had
let herself through the kitchen and
d;ning-room and into the little parlor.

HOME WITH Her.

Home to her. when day is done,
Home to the wife you love;
Home from the wide, wide world.
Swift as the homing dove.
There was never a dream so sweet,
There was never a hope so bright,
AS the dream and the hope to be
With her in the candlehght.
Home with her when toll is Ger,
Home from care and strife.
Home from the wide, wide world,
Home with your loving wife.
There was never a kingdom broad,
There was never an isle at sea,
'One-half SO happy, half so fair,
AS my ingleside to me.
Home to her at set of sun,
Home to the eyes of her,
Home to her smile and her voice,
Far from the thorns that were.
There was never a crown Of kings,
There was never a wreath of bays,
Like the touch of her hand, her lips,
The word of her honest praise.
Home to her, and home to her
Unto the end of life;
Home to her, and home to her,
Home to my loving wife.
Let Glory caper on his steed
And Fame her starry trumpet blow;
I shall not heed them as they pass;
Home with her in the candleglow.

Humility of Genius.

The eminent scholar and church his
torian, DR.. Philip Schaff, used to say
of himself, II have not genius. lam
simply hard worker, and what 1 am
L owe to God and to constant applica-
ton, keeping my wits about me-" This
notable humility recalls the remark of
Sir Isaac Newton that the only genius
he had was the ability to keep prob
lem before his mind until he saw
through it. A Scotch clergyman said:
''Sir Isaac Newton is as weel acquainted
with the stars as if he had been born
and brocht up amang them" But the
great philosopher was much more
modest in his self-appraisement. 81

boy playing on the seashore, and d.
verting myself in now or then finding
a smoother pebble or prettier shell
than ordinary, whilst the great ocean
of truth lay all undiscovered before me-"
Our readers will not overlook the ictus
of that modest remark. Sir Isaac was
always wandering on the seashore, and
always intent on finding pebbles and
shells. He that seeketh fndeth. -

CHAPTER XIV.-CONTINUED.

Col. Buxton and others-all the Off
GERS, almost-felt bound to come to the
house between stables and retreat, just
to see how Randy was getting on, but
the answer was the same to one and all.
No one was to be admitted, for the doc
tor was "trying to get him to Sleep"
And surely enough, bathed, re
freshed, his arm set and dressed, Randy
soon found himself slowed away in a
soft, white bed, Int oh, so Weak Snd
drowsy after all til labor Ut the CHASE
and the long, long Gay of racking pain.
They were to bring Florencs 20 him
now, his wife, his darling, impatiently
waiting for the summons, as he thought
her, at Mrs. Haynes, and he was
stretching out his arms to her-his one
available arm, rather, and fOndly muir
muring her name, when the weary eye
lids closed and, numb and impotent, he
drifted away into deep, deep slumber.
There" said the doctor, at last,
hell do now"
"Aye," murmured Grafton, but what
will the waking be if there's no Flor
ence here tomorrow"
That was an anxious night at Sedg-
wick. Merriam slept like the dead, and
twice the young doctor feared it might
be necessary to rouse him, thinking
that perhaps he had sent that tiny shot
of his hypodermic syringe with too
heavy charge. But so long as Randy
was ignorant of his wife's mad esca-
pade he would have slept through sheer
exhaustion and WEAKNESS, and his ply
stefan need not have troubled himself.
Twice Grafton tiptoed in, and the hos
pital attendant arose at his coming and
reported that the patient had not
stirred.
Over at Grafton's quarters, however,
they had to deal with less tractable
creature. Fanny McLane had reused
from her swoon and was nervously, eX-
.citably, irritably wide awake, de-
manding actually to be allowed to see
Mr.. Merriam. Even Annette was sent
, out of the room and Mrs. Grafton had
her friend and guest to herself, and her
tears and prayers, her reproaches and
imprecations fell on hardened ears.
Mrs. Grafton was adamant.
cit is mad folly to talk of such a
thing, Fanny" she replied to every as
sault. sMr. Merriam is far too serious
ly injured to see anybody, much less
you, who would importune him for your
own selfish purposes. Capt. Grafton
saJs the doctor has forbidden him 10

They saw him accost her briefly, then go
springing past her up the steps and
into the house. A moment more and
Mrs. Grafton, with other women,
reached her.
what is the matter? What has hap
pened, Fanny? Why are you here?"
And covering, sobbing, shivering, she
made answer:
"Oh, stop him! save him! He'll kill
himself. told him his wife was
gone"
Too late. Out to the stable the doc
tor chased, for bed and room were de-
serted. There, wildly gesticulating and
pointing to the open mesa, was Hop
Ling. HE makee my saddle-he makee
lide-he alice gone!" he walled, point
ing to where, far to the west, a puff of
dust cloud was swiftly vanishing down
into the valley of the Santa Clara.
