THE U. S. ABMY. Annual Report of Seoretary of War Lamont. Condition of the Regular Army and the National Guard Reviewed—Sea Coast Defenses The Drainage CanalRecords and Pensions. Washington, Nov. 30.—1n the annual report Just Issued of Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of war, the total, expenditures of his department for the year ending June3o,lß9s,are stated as $52,987,780.44; the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, are $43,466,571.75, and estimates for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1897, are placed at $51,945,643.45. Following are the more interesting portions of the report: The full strength of the army authorized by ‘aw is now given as 2,126 total officers and 25,706 total enlisted men. Changes established in the method of recruiting during th'i past two years have considerably reduced the cost of that service, while perceptibly increasing the effective strength of the army. The Post Exchanges. The receipts from the 73 post exchanges in operation were $1,518,455, the expenses $1,189,233, leaving a balance of $329,222, of which s2o-",537 were returned as dividends. Many of the exchanges new have libraries, gymnasiums, and appliances for out-of-doors sports. The receipts of the canteens have been reduced from 75 per cent, six years ago to 40 per cent, during the present year. By far the most essential need of our army to-day is the adoption of the throebattalion formation. The reasons for this fchange and a way to provide it were stated in the report of the department for 1894. The total cost of the publication of the official records of the rebellion from 1871, when the work was begun, to the close of the last fiscal yetrr, was $2,158,073.20, of which $1,045,952.39 was for printing, and the balance for the expense of compilation. The actual product by this expenditure is 11,500 sets of the 9G books in print and the accompanying maps and plates, also a large mass of uncompleted work in connection with the books yet to be printed. State Troops. The efforts of recent years to bring the army into closer relations with the national 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 the previous year, were permanently detailed at state headquai ters, and 43 states secured for temporary duty the services of army officers State encampments of troops were held by 22 states, to wljich 25 additional officers .were assigned as instructors and inspectors. The number of pupils at schools and colleges receiving military Instruction from officers of the army has more than doubled within the last four years, and the steadily increasing interest of the jouth of the land in military affairs is apparent. Last year 90 officers, a larger number than in any former year, were detached for this duty. The stuuWrts attending schools and colleges at which military instruction was regularly imparted during the year numbered 35X38, of whom 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 necessity forseacoast defense in 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 should be fortified and that work on the most important of these fortifications should be commenced at once. The absolute necessity, judge.i by all standards of prudence and foresight, of our preparation for an effectual resistance against tho ¥ armored ships and steel g.ms and mortars of modern construction which may threaten the cities on our coasts is so apparent that 1 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 tills department. Its inadequacy and inipotency have been so evident that the intelligence of the country 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 Endicot-t board in 1886, with subsequent slight modifications. 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-Inch mortars in position. The report of the chief of engineers, forwarded herewith, exhibits in detail the condition of the various river and harbor improvements drdered by congress. The total expenditures for these purposes during the year ended June 30 last, exclusive 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 September last was $12,686,880.50. The Chicago Drainage CauaL The completion of the drainage canal of the sanitary district of Chicago, which is expected in the near future, and its probable effect upon the depth of water in the lake harbors having caused much apprehension, the importance of the matter led to its reference' to a board of engineer officers for investigation as to “the probable effect of the operation of the Chicago drainage canal upon the lake and harbor levels, and upon tho 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 eliminate accidental fluctuations and to cover all stages, and for that purpose it recommends a series of gauglngs as important, to be carried out as soon as practicable. Record and Pension Office. The records of the personnel of the revolutionary army, on which work was begun in September, 1894, have been indexed and arranged for use. Tfyf progress made in indexing and arranging similar records of the war of 1812 insures the completion of this work by the end of the year. Inquiries requiring reference to these records are Increasing, as patriotic associations have revived interest in the early wars of thd republic. The total number of cases of all kinds disposed of was 211,129,. of which 152,075 were pension cases. /The approaching completion of the index-record card system has permitted a reduction of 50 clerks in the force of the office this year, In addition to the reduction of 300 last year, the total annual saving in salaries being $400,000. The total numbed of military cards available for ready reference on June 30, 1895, was and of medical cards 6,t&,285—1n all, 43.820.408. Resulted In Death.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYE. Important Decision Defining the Rights of Each. Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 27. —When the employes of the Hamilton Brown Shoe company, of St. Louis, 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 employes. This was granted. The strikers claimed that if any offense had been committed it was a criminal one, entitling them to a trial by jury, and that a court of equity lmd no jurisdiction over the matter, and appealed to the supreme court. With the full concurrence of the supreme court Judge Brace sendered 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. Defining 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 tho employ of plaintiffs whenever they see fit to do so and no one can prevent them, and whether their act of quitting is wiso 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 ana 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 t'he 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 riot only are they not their masters, but they are not even their guardians.” SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE. The Trade Situation Reviewed by R. G Dun & Cos. New York, Nov. 30. —B. G. Dun & Cos., in their w eekly review of trade, saj': "Business has not improved, though there is very little change except in the shrinkage of prices which a period of inactien 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 crops Is only fair, both cotton and wheat being -largely kept back in the hope of higher prices, and there is a prevalent feeling that foreign imports will fall off. Exports show a little gain for the week, although the small outgo of cotton is s 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 demand is nothing like what it would be if general business were in a normal condition. The speculative markets have not helped, for while wheat Js 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 arid 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 $1,497,030 were of manufacturing and $4,555,949 of trading concerns. In the same weeks of 1894 the failures were $8,085,429, 431 were of manufacturing and $5,251,485 of trading concerns. The failures in the same weeks of 1893 amounted to $17,0)9,079. During the past week failures have been 279 in the United States, against 289 last year, and 47 in Canada, against 36 last year.”

To Jallet. She trips across the dewy lawn, with sweet, uneven grace. The Innocence of summer dawn is In hep wild rose face. To gout am Ia hapless prey, and lonely days I see: So, Just to pass the hours away, she comes and reads to me. She weeps with gentle Juliet’s ills, and sighs with Romeo’s sighs. "Who could but love the light that thrill* the summer of her eyes? O, little maid of 17, my flow-er so fair and fine: No gallant Remeo’s woes, I ween, were ever matched for mine. How would I give the hoarded gold, locked In my vaults away, Ts that young head I might but hold against my heart to-day! 1 If it were 40 years ago, when I was 23, No Romeo should win, I know, my Juliet from me. She scans the pages of her book with bright and eager gaze, While past the little maid I look, and into other days. And in the lovely picture there, which fancy’s fingers trace, -y Lo! I am young and she is fair, and love smiles in her face. Ring, ring, O bells of yesterday! Shine, shine, O stars of youth, Though I have wakened, old and gray, to spectacles and truth! O, that I might be young again, or that I might forget Life holds for me but gout and pain—and love for Juliet! —Anna Tozier, in Brooklyn Life. I,ct Summer Die. Let Summer die, sweet love, for we Can live as well when winter blows His frosty breath o’er land and sea. If thou art only true to mo, I care not for the whelming snows. If thou art true, I’ll sing for thee, From wakening dawn to daylight’s close, A burden all shall be. Let summer die. I care not for the red, red rose, N'w for the pale anemone; Nor for the laughing stream that flow's Through meadowy fields ill still repose. If thou art only true to me, Let summer die. —St. George Best, in Good Housekeeping. On Guard. The true mind must stand duty at his post, Watching each thought that slowly passes by; Must note its colors, prove it is no spy To gain an entrance past the outer coast: For thoughts, as pilgrims# pass our life’s straight line, • Some blithe and happy, some with faces sad. All should have w'elcome, howe’er theyaro clad, Who answer “God and Man” as countersign. —Alice Crary, in Peterson Magazine. A Singular Form of Monomania* There is a class of people, rational enough in other rejects, who are certainly monomaniacs in uosiiigthemselves. They are constantly trying experiments upon their stomachs, their bowels, their livers and their kidneys with trashy nostrums. Wl®u these organs are Teal ly out of order, if they would only use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they would, if not hopelessly insane, perceive its superiority.
