ed on Every Field of Combat
whence and Wherever the Army
Has Been Engaged.
Washington. Nov. 6.-The annual re-
port of Lieut. Gen. Miles. commanding
the army, is a brief review of the re-
ports that have been submitted to him
by other officers.
Gen. Miles calls attention to the ne
cessity Of quarters for troops saying
that while hundreds of thousands Of
dollars are being spent for quarters
for cavalry, very little is being used
to afford shelter for artillery, which
is exposed to severe climates along the
coasts.
These troops" says Gen. Miles, ARE
required to be located adjacent to the
Notifications. Notwithstanding the ex-
posed position of many of them, and
| see no reason why buildings should
not be properly constructed in time to
be occupied. when II is known for
years exactly where and when they
will be required
THE experience during the great
Cival war. and years of campaigning
along our Western frontiers, afforded
the best schools of practice for our
army in former years. The attention
given to gymnastic and calisthenics and
military exercises made our small
army a corps of athletes. while the
elementary schools established for en-
listed men. the post libraries the post
lyceums and practice for officers, as
well as the military academy, pro-
duced an army of such excellence that
! was able in my annual report for
1896 to state:
The personnel of the army was
never in better condition.
This was proven to be true by the
fortitude. skill and heriosm displayed
I'm every serious campaign on every
field of mortal combat wherever the
army has been engaged in any part of
the world during the last four years.
Evils may creep into any system or
great organization. Such as we have
affected our army have been or will
be eradicated.''

Outflow put Eissler in communication
with Baron Won Muenchhausen, who
is lieutenant in the Prussian artil-
lory. The baron, according to state
ments made in court, agreed to give
Eissler 8 per cent. of the money of
of the marriage taking place, and he
signed conditional bills for 1915. 900.
On these bills Eissler raised money
in Berlin from a numerous group of
persons which included Pincus and
the two Mendelsohns, and Baron Won
Muenchhausen was provided with the
cash with which he paid the expenses
of his journey to the United States.
Eissers partner in this adventure
was lady's maid, who had been for

She preceded the baron to the United
States to negotiate the marriage, but

Won Muenchhausen had to reckon with
the holders of his bills. A compro-
mise was negotiated with Pincus and
the Memberships, who surrendered his
paper on the payment of comparatively
small sums. Baron Won Muenchhau-
sen afterwards accused these men OF
blackmail and the matter was thus
brought into court. Pincus and the
Mendelsohns were acquitted of the
charge.

BELATED RETURNS.
some of the States Complete That
Have Been Delayed.

Have Been Delayed.
The following returns are from
states which have not before sent in
their full vote:
Virginia.
Roanoke, Va, Nov. GA special to
the Roanoke Times from Wytheville
tonight says: Commissioners of cleo
ton completed the canvass of election
returns in this county late this after
noon, throwing out two precincts, Pat
tison, which gave Slemp, Republican,
100 majority and Austinville, which
gave Rhea, Democrat, thirty-three
majority. Pattison precinct was
thrown out because the returns were
not sealed: were sent through the
mails and received a day late. Aus
tlnvllle was thrown out because the
returns were a day late. This gives
the county officially to Judge Rhea by
twenty-six, where the semi-official re-
turns gave it to Slemp by fifty. Re-
ports in Wytheville late this evening
from other sections of the Ninth dis
trict indicate Rhea's election by small
majority. A telephone message from
Judge Rhea confirms this and places
his majority at twenty-five.
Bristol, Tenn, Nov, 6.-The follow
ing statement was given out from
Congressman Rhea's headquarters this
evening regarding the election in the
Ninth Virginia district:
Later official returns cut down the
estimated majority claimed for Slemp,
and his claim of certain election is not
substantiated by official returns. We
have never conceded Rhea's defeat,
but claim that he is elected by a small
majority. The Republican leaders
state on reliable information that the
clerks of several counties favor them
and that they have held up the re-
turns in some counties and that they
will make the majorities large enough
to elect Slemp. The Democrats are
confident and rely on official reports
only"
Chairman Lindsey of the Republican
Executive Committee has issued a
counter statement denying that Rhea
has been elected and alleging that the
Democrats are endeavoring to perpe-
trate frauds.

returns from Sussex county show
the election of Thomas w. jefferson.
Democrat, as state senator from the
Fifth district by a plurality of votes
over George E. Magee, an Addicks
Republican, whom earlier reports de-
clared elected. There are fifty-two
