Annual Report of Secretaﬁy of . War Lamont. |

Tondition of the Regular Army and tho National Guard Reviewed—Sea (?oast Defenses — The Drainage Canal—

Records and Pensions.

{ Washington, Nov. 30.—1 n the annual report just issued of Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of war, the total expenditures of his department for the year e{xding June3o,lB9s,are stated as $52,987,780.44, the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, are $43,466,571.75, and estimatés for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, are placed at $51,945,643.45. Following are the thore mteresting portions of the repg}rt: ‘The full strength of the army authorized by '«w is now given as 2,126 total officers and 25,706 total enlisted men. Changes established in the method of recruiting during the past twp years have considerably reduced the cost of that service, while perceptibly increasing the effective strength of the army. i

The Post Exchanges.

The receipts frem the 73 post exchanges in operatinn were $1,518,455, the expeénses $1,189,233, leaving a balance of $329,222, of which $2:5,837 were returned as dividénds. Many of the exchanges ncw have sbraries, gymnasiums, and appliances for out-of-doors sports. The receipts of the cantgens have beecn reduced from 75 per cent).six years ago to 40 per tent. during the pr esent year. . ] ! By far the most essential need of our army to-day is the adoption of the thir'eebattalion formation. The reasons for this change and a way to provide it were stated in the report of the department for 1894

The totni cost of the publivation of the official racords of‘the rebellion from. 1874, when the work was begun, to the close of the last fiscal year, was $2.158,073.20, of which §51,045,952.89 was for printing, and the balance for the expense of compilation. The actual product by this expenditure is 11,500 sets of the 95 books in print andithe uccompanying maps and plates, alsp a large mass of uncompleted work in connection with the books yet to be printed. o

State Troops.

The efforts of recent years to bringithe army into cdloser relations with the natxignal guard of the states may now be regarded as having established a pern anent union between the two forces, advantageous to both. During the year 33 officers, six more than in th: previous year, were permani}ntly detailed at state headquaiters, and 43 states secured for temporary duty ithe services of army officers Siate cncampments of troops were held by 22 states, to which 25 additional officers were assigned as instructors and inspectors. Iz - The number of pupils at schcols and colleges receiving militaty instruction from officers of the army has more than douliled within the last four years, and the steadily increonsing interest of the jouth of ithe land in military affairs is apparent. Liast year 99 otlicers, a larger number than in any former year, were detached for this duty. The stuuents attending schools and ¢olleges at which military instruction was regularly imparted during the year numbered 35.€28, of whkom 23,723 were capable military duty. | {

Sea-Coast Defenses.

In your annual message transmitted to congress in December, 1886, attention was directed to the urgent necessits for seacofal_st defense 1n these words: ‘'The defenseless condition cf our seacoast and lake frontier is perfectly palpable; the examinations made must convince us all that certain of our cities chould be fortified and that work on the most important of these fortifications should be commenced at once. The absolute necessity, judged by all standards of prude::ce and foresight, of our preparation for an effectual resistance against the armored ships and steel guns and moortars of mwodern construction which may threaten the cities on our coasts is so. apparent that I hope effective steps will be taken in that direction immediately.” ' Since that time the condition of these defenses has been under grave consideration by the people and by this department. Its inadequacy and impotency have becnu so evident that the intelligence of the coufitry.long since ceased to discuss that humiliating phase of the subject, but has addressed itself to the more practical undertaking of urging more rapid progress In the execution of the plan of defense devised by the Endicott board in 1836, witn subsequent slight modifications. i ?At only three of the 18 ports under consideration have completed features of defense been established. New York has two 12-inch guns. and 16 12-inch mortars, San Francisco has one 12-inch gun and 16 12inch mortars, and Boston has 16 12-itich mortars in position. The report of the chief of engineers, forwarded herewith, exhibits in detail the condition of the various river and harbor improvements ordered by congress. The total expenditures for these purposes during the year ended June 30 last, exelusive of those made by Mississippi and Missouri river commissions, were $15,440,994.97 and the unexpended balance of available appropriations on the first day of Sep‘neml?ér last was $12,686,880.59. ! The Chicago Drainage Canal.

The completion of the drainage canal of the sanitary district of Chicago, which is expected in the near future, and fts probable effect upon the depth of water in thelake harborshaving caused much apprehension, the importance of the matter jed to its reference to a board of engineer officers for investigation as to ‘‘the prabable effect of the operation of the Chicago drainage canal upon the lake and harhor levels, and upon the navigation of the great lakes and their connecting waters.? In the judgment o f the board the only way to ascertain the approximate discharge of the lakes is to measure them for periods long enough to elijminate accidendkal fluctuations and to cover all stages, and for that purpose it recommends a series of gaugings as imporfant, to be carried out as soon as practicable. i Record and Pension Office.

_FOR FREE SILVER. The Trans-nlisqiss—il)_; Congress Places . Itseif oz Record. : Omaha, Neb.,, Nov. 27.—The first thing on the programme at the morning session of the trans-Mississippi congress Tuesday was the report of the committee on officers. . The committee reported in favor of the election of Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb., for president of the congress, and fthe election was made by acclamation and with enthusiasm ! Omaha, Neb., Nov. 28.—The third and ladt day’s session of the trans-Missis-sippi congress was by far the most interesting and excitin'g of all. Omaha was selected as the city for the transMississippi exposition of 1898, Salt Lake City was selected for the next meetin& of the congress, and after an exciting debate the free silver resolutions were adopted by a large majority. The congress has in all adopted the following resolutions, which bad been reported favorably: -

Favoring statehood for New Mexico; expressing sympathy with Cuba in its struggle for independence; favoring the construction of the Farralone cable; favoring the improvement of the harbor of San Pedro; favoring deep watetways; favoring a bureau of forestry; favoring the establishment of a United States commission for the survey of semi-arid portions of the country for purpases of irrigation; favoring the Monroe doctrine; short line to the coast of California and Utah railway; completion of Hennepin canal; restoration of American shipping; prompt completion of Nicaragua canal; free coinage of silver, and legislation of Pacific railways.

The first fight came on the passage of the resolution on Picific railways, which had been introduced by W. J. Bryan. Vice President Doniphan was called to the chair and Bryan delivered a speech in favor of the resolution. Carlson, of California, opposed it. After -a long discussion the resolution was passed as‘oﬁ‘ered with a slight alteration, thus: - “Resolved, that the people of the trans‘Mississippi region age especially interested in legislation relatifig to the Pacific railroads. We favor either, immediate foreclosure by the United States government of its liens against the roads, or such a reorganization as will prevent fictitious capitalization and secure to the patrons of the roads the use of transportation facilities at rates which will realize for the owners "of the roads only a reasonable income on the money actually invested.”

On behalf of the Nebraska deiegation President DBryan offered a resolution favoring the holding at. Omaha, in the year 1898, of a trans-Mississippi exposition, to be given as an exhibition of all the products, industries and civilization of the states west of the Mississippi river, that the world may behold the wonderful capabilities of these great wealth-producing states, deeming that such exposition would be of great value, not only to the transMississippi states, but to all the homeseekers in the world, and asking the United States congress to make such an appropriation as is usual in such cases to assist in carrying out this enterprise. After several enthusiastic speeches, the resolution was unanimous!y adopted. The great debate of the congress was on the free-silver resolution introduced by Mr. Bryan. This debate lasted from four to six p. m., and was masterly. Vice President Hazleton, of lowa, presided. The debate was opened by Mr. Bryan in a five-minute specech. He was followed by Col. Bradshaw, of Montana; S. S. Jones, of Utah; Col. Doliphan, of Missouri; Gov. Prince, of New Mexico, and Congressman Shafroth, of Denver, for freg, coinage. C. M. Harl, of lowa, and Mr. Eddy, of Oregon, spoke against free silver. The last two speeches wera delivered by John L. Webster and Mr, EBryan. J

The vote resulted 124 fo: free coinage to 50 against it. For silver Utah cast 22 votes, Missouri 3, Montana 10, California 10, Colorado 10, lowa i, Nébraska 20, Kansas 5, New' Mexico 10, Wyoming 10, Idaho 10, South Dakota 8 and Oregen 5; total, 124.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE. Important Decision Defining thoe Rights f b of Each. 1 ' Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 27.—When the employes of the Hamilton Browa Shoe company, of St. Loais, struck 'some months ago, the strikers, led by A. J. Saxey, undertook to picket the building, and by entreaties, threats and intimidation induce other employes to join them, and visited their houses at night and renewed the threats. The company applied to Judge Valliant, of the St. Louis circuit court, for an injunction restraining the strikers from in any way interfering with the em ployes. - This was granted. The strikers ciaimed that if any offense had been committed it was a criminal one, entitling them to a trial by jury, and that a court of eqnity had no jurisdiction over the matter, and appealed to the supreme court. With the full concurrence of the supreme court Judge Braee rendered the decision Tuesday, He holds that while a court of equity has no jurisdiction over criminal proceedings, yet an injunction to protect property from injury is within the scope of authority of such a tribunal. Deﬁ'nipg the rights of employers and employes, he says: -

‘““The injunction in this case does not hinder the defendants from doing anything that they claim they have a right to do. They are free men and have the right to quit the employ of plaintiffs whenever they see .fit to do so and no one can prevent them, and whether their act of quitticg is wise or unwise, just or unjust, it is nobody’s business but their own. And they have a right to use fair persuasion to induce others to join them in quitting. But when fair persuasion is exhausted, they have no right to resort to force or threats or violence. The law will protect their freedom and their rights, but it will not permit them to affect the freedom and rights of others. The same law which guarantees the defendants their right to quit the employment of the plaintiffs at their will and pleasure also -guarantees. the other employes the right to remain at their will and pleasure. The defendants are their own masters, but they are not the masters of the other employes and not only are they not their masters, but they are not even their guardians.” ' .

SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE.

The Trade Situation Reviewed by R. Ge

Dun & Co

New York, Nov. 30.—1 i. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: -

“Business has not improved, though there is very little change except in the shrinkage of prices which a period of inaction naturally causes. Retail stocks are still reported full in nearly all branches, with delayed distribution in many on account of the unfavorable weather. The movement of ¢rops is only fair, both cotton and wheat being largely kept back in the hope of higher prices, and there is a preve alent feeling that fereign imports will fall off. Exports show a little gain for the week, although the small outgo of cotton is ¢.ill a threatening fact as-respects foreign exchanges. Railroads reporting for November show a gain of 8.4 per cent. in earnings compared with last year, and a loss of 1 per cent compared with 1892. - ‘“There is not much change in commercial loans, although a little more demand from some manufacturing centers is reported On ‘the whole, the demang is nothing like what it would be if general business were in a normal condition. The speculative markets have not helped, for while wheat is a cent higher, with corn unchanged, cotton is a shade higher, and held with.much stiffness in spite of all evidence of the abundant supplies abroad and the sagging trade of European spinners. Goods here are a shade weaker, perhaps 1 per cent. on the whole, in spite of a small advance in raw cotton. Another sharp fall in hides at Chicago has not been followed by leather, which has declined only for grain, nor proportionately by boots and shoes. The manufacturers are getting remarkably little new business for the season, and many look for no material change until after January 1. The woolen business makes scarcely any gain. ‘“The failures for four weeks of November have been $8,819,979, of which $1,497,03C ‘were of manufacturing and $4,555,949 of trading concerns. In the same weeks of 1824 the failures were $8,088,429, of which $2,651,~ 431 were of manufacturing and $5,351,485 of trading concerns. The failures in the same weeks of 1893 amounted to’ $17,509,079. During the past week failures have been 279 in the United States, against 289 last year, and 47°in Canada, against 36 last year.” :
