Mrs. Jerome Downs, where she and her
aged husband had made their home
and been tenderly cared for during the
past few months. Mrs. Porter had en-
joyed excellent health up to within
year or two, when heart difficulties set
in and she had since been failing. Her
death came suddenly. She was one of
odist church and was for many years
one of the most active members of
that church, and her heart and sy1npa-
thiea were strongly with the work of
the church. Her age was seventy-five
years. Her husbands age is eighty and
Mrs. Porter died on his birthday. Mrs
Porter was the daughter of Mr.. Hotch-
kiss, who was a we'll known black
smith, whose place of business was on
Grand street, now Grand avenue, forty
or fifty years ago. The arrangements
for the funeral are not yet completed.

New York Nov. PA social to the
Herald from Washington says:
General Miles, who has just returned
from long tour Of inspection in the
far West and South. said tonight "The
foriiileations along the Pacific coast
and the Gulf are in very good condi-
uoin. The engineers have done good
work.
While the harbors are only partly
protected 1t would not be safe for a
hostile battleshp or feet to enter them
now None Of the harbors Is COM
pletely fortified. The four great har-
bors q the Pacific coast. at which de-
fensive works are being erected, are
Puget Sound, the mouth Of the Coum-
bia river San Francisco and San Diego.
There are only enough artlerists
stationed on the coast to take care Of
the guns-pot enough to man them,
The guns are great pieces Of machin-
cry, and require very skilled artlllerists

the entire coast of 1000 miles includ-
ing the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf.

large 10 keep abreast Of the improve

made.
"Of course, the size Of the army
