"HoNEsT,, JOHNS RAIDED.
Jerome Forces Him to Appear us Wit ness Against Himself.

ness Against Himself. New York, Jan 11.-An unusual step
 was taken by District Attorney Jerome to-day in his crusade against gambling
 Honest John Kelley to testify against
 himself. Kelley was granted immunity from prosecution under the Bowling
 law, but, acting upon information se-
 cured from the witness, Kelley's place of business was raided and large
 quantity of valuable gaming parapher- nalia was secured. This will be de- stroyed. +. -...-.t Kelley appeared before Justice Wyatt in the presence of Mir. Jerome and a stenographer, and according to the dis trict attorney, said that he had been
 nine years in the gambling business in
 this city and that he occupied the
 houses at 137, 139 and Al West Forty first street. It was upon this testimony that the search warrant was secured
 and served.
 A peculiar feature of the case, accord ing to the district attorney, was that one of the houses had been watched by the police day and night for months, but all the time has been vacant. The raiders found this place empty, al-
 though it was formerly Kelley's gam
 bling house. In the past few months
 he has transferred his establishment to No 137, two doors away. It was this
 house that was raided to-day. A pool
 room and several gambling games were found in operation when the detectives
 entered. On one floor fifteen men were playing roulette. No arrests were made.

NO FULL PAY FOR MILES.
AMENDMENT PASSED TO ARMY
 APPROPRIATION BILL.

Provides That Retired officers Above
 the Grade of Major Shall Not Receive
 Full Pay of Their Grade When As-
 signed to Duty With Militia of the
 Several states--Not Aimed at Miles. Washington, Jan. l1.-The appoint- ment of Lieutenant- General Nelson A. Miles as adjutant- general of the state of Massachusetts oyershadowe5 all other questions in the discussion of the army appropriation bill in the house of representatives to-day. Ira uebate mad proceeded leisurely until MT. Hull, in charge of the bill, offered all alllend- ment providing that retired officers above the grade of major should not re- ceive the full pay Of their grade when assigned to duty with the militia of the several states. Several members de- clared that the amendment was direct- ed especially at General Miles. But MT. Hull insisted that he had no such thought in mind and argued that the best results were obtained from officers of the lower grades. He asserted that not. until the law was passed allowing. increased pay for officers assigned to the militia did retired officers of the higher grades apply for the appoint ments. He said it was such increased pay, and not patriotism, which prompt ed them, and he characterized their conduct as unseemly.
 This. statement reused MT. Cochran, of New York; who declared that it was simply penalizing superior officers to the advantage and profit of inferior of f1cers. After lively debate the amend severely criticised army and navy ex- penditures.

The number of yes- sells he has is kept secret. but doubt- less he is ready to do battle with the Russian Baltic squadron whenever they appear east of the 10th meridian.
 Vice Admiral Kamimura's where abouts is somewhat of a mystery, the correspondents say, but possibly his squadron is in the China sea within easy steaming distance of either the Malacca or Sunda straits, but anyway, :; they declare. is Vice Admiral Rojest- vensky purposes to spend the ensuing weeks in cruising in the vicinity of Madagascar it is not improbable that he will find himself assailed sy tor pedo hotilla.
