INCREASE OF THE NAVY.
Secretary Long VIII Not Call for an
Extensive Addition.

A good deal of confusion exists at the
Navy Department in regard to the building
program which will be recommended to
Congress at the next session. In the first
place, the general naval board, headed by
Admiral Dewey, made some recommenda-
tions looking to an increase. Then the
board of naval bureau chiefs, submitted to
Secretary Long before his departure for
Colorado an Independent program differing
materially from the general boards plans,
and providing for thirty-two new ships.
Finally, the chief constructor although a
member of the bureau board, had plans of
his own, which he stands ready to support
by strong argument.
With this material before him, Secretary
Long has practically made up his mind as
to the final recommendation to be made to
Congress, and although he has withheld
that from publication until his return from
Colorado, it is understood that he has
made very heavy cut in the number of
ships projected by the various boards, con-
fining his recommendations for an increase,
in fact. to number Of small gunboats,
probably about a dozen. and a few auxill
larry vessels.

Spe,ial From a Stafr CORRESPONDENT

Hears So Many Conflicting Political
Predictions in Gotham.
Special From STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, November 3-Mr. James l..
Norris Of Washington who has been here
since yesterday morning, says that, after
talking with many people in the business
and political circles with whom he is on
confidential relations he has come to the
conclusion that If the political situation
does not indicate a ground swell for Bryan
he does not know what 1t means. He says
that about twenty business men whom he
had supposed were on the other side, told
him they were for Bryan.
Other people he talked with represented
the widest divergence of opinion. One good
man told aim Bryan would carry New York
state by 10000. Another good man told him
that Mckinley would have 100000 majority.
One democrat told him that Bryan would
be showed under. These men were all in
one group.
Mr.. Norris is having the experience that
every stranger has here at this time, of
having the most bewildering statements
made to him. If he goes about enough he
will find by the end of another twentyfour
hours that the preponderance of opinion
among men he is most apt to meet In that
Nc McKiney will carry this state by a good
majority ]. p. NJ.

PROTEST BY ROBERTS
BRITISH GENERAL SHOCKED AT RE-
CENT ORGIES.
Bexs EnElishmen Not to Give Stimu.
Innts to Soldiers Returning
From Transvaal. @

LONDON, November 3.-Lord Roberts
sends from Pretoria striking appeal to his
countrymen to refrain from turning the
welcome Of the homecoming troops into a
drunken orgy. He expresses the sincere
hope that the welcome will not take the
form of treating to stimulants and thus
lead to excesses that will tend to degrade
those whom the nation delights to honor
and lower the soldiers of the queen in the
eyes of the world, which has watched with
undsguised admiration the grand work
they have performed for their sovereign
and country
II therefore beg earnestly says Lord
Roberts, that the public will refrain from
tempting my gallant comrades. but will
rather aid them to uphold the splendid
reputation they have won for the imperial
army.
Il am very proud to be able to record
with the most absolute truth that the con-
duct of this army, from first to last, has
been exemplary Not a single case of
serious crime has been brought to my
notice. indeed nothing deserving the name
of crime l have trusted to the mems own
soldierly feeling and good sense, and they
have borne themselves, like heroes on the
battlefield, and like gentlemen on all other
occasions.
1.-The most malicious falsehoods were
spread by the authorities of the Transvaal
of the brutality of Great Britains soldiers
but the people were soon reassured that
they had nothing to fear from the man in
khaki, no matter how battered and war
stained his appearance.
This testimony" concludes Lord Rob-
erts II feel sure will be very gratifying
to the people of Great Britain. and of that
greater Britain whose sons shared to the
fullest extent the suffering as we'll as the
glory of the war, and who helped ma
terially to bring it to successful close"
Lord Roberts explains that he thus ap-
peals because of the distressing and dis
creditable scenes resulting from injudicious
friends speeding the parting soldiers by
showing bottles Of spirits into their hands
and pockets.

Perry Heath's Forecast.

Perry Heath's Forecast.
Secretary Perry S. Heath of the republi-
can national committee gave out the fol-
lowing signed statement to The Stars cor
respondent today:
''The political struggle of 1900 is nearly at
a close. 1t has been perhaps one Of the
most important contests since the Lincoln
campaign. The people have been forced to
consider greater number of issues than
ever before, and the two great political
parties have never been more widely divid-
ed. 1 confidently expect the reelection of
our noble President and continuance of
prosperity through the medium of another
four years of his magnificent administra-
ton.
Discussing the situation from the stand
point of one who has participated In
humble way in the management of the
campaign, the struggle has been fraught
with complicating conditions. Bryanism
has stood for SO many things, has had so
many paramount issues, that we have been
Kept constantly on the move to meet the
rapid changes. Perhaps the most serious
of all conditions that we were forced to
meet was the un-Americanism of Bryan
and his attempt to arraign class against
class. To breed discomfort among the wage
earnerS by arraigning them against capital
through inconsistent argument and gross
Misrepresentation is tantamount to treason.
Our wage earnerS have enjoyed degree of
prosperity during the past four years great
er than they have known for many years,
and to create strife among them by the
use of such arguments that a large stand
ing army is desired by the republican party
to fortify large cities and prevent strikes
is one Of the most dastardly bases of cor
rupt campaign arguments I have ever
known With a deep concern for good to
the nation, with a careful consideration for
al, that is for the benefit of the working
man, the republican party has waged this
campaign on honest principles and logical
argument, and the result of next Tuesdays
election will show to the world that Ameri-
cans hold the honor of their country above
their politics and their religion is the honor
of their flag.

National Committeeman Vanderventer of

Payne. Mr.. Vanderventer said: Wyoming
will go republican from $500 to 5000 ma
jority. When We figure that the population
is only 100000 consider this a fair matori-
ty. There are thirteen counties in the
state, and we expect to carry every one of
them. The republicans will elect the legis-
lature by an overwhelming majority and
return one congressman. Everything is in
fine shape in our state and we will win out
handsomely. 1 have every reason to believe
that Idaho will go republican, and also the

visited the Offices of General Miles at the
War Department yesterday They wanted
General Miles to use his influence to Sc
cure the removal Of their tribe from their
present reservation in Idaho back to their
old home in the highlands Of Oregon.
1t was General Miles who, in 1871, made
Chief Joseph prisoner in northern Mon
tana. after a pursuit which lasted several
months. When Chief Joseph surrendered
General Miles promised him certain
things, among which was permission to
return with his people 10 the Oregon
reservation, where the tribe had lived
before jhe outbreak All the promises
were kept except this one, which. by rea-
son Of the Intervention OF higher author
ity, General Miles was unable TO fulfll.
Chief Joseph. after the surrender to-
gether with his tribe was sent to Fort
sill, Indian Territory. There many OF
the tribe. including relatives OF Chief
Joseph, died from the effects OF the eli
mate. Later the tribe was removed to
Idaho where Il is now located Even here
the climate has been found not to agree
with the Indians. and Chief Joseph wishes
to get back to the healthful plateau in
Oregon. The granting Of the request is
a matter which rests with the Interior
Department.
