Admiral Wnlkor adds his testimony to tlmt of General 'Miles concerning tho weak ness of tho government coast def oiircs. "1 am n good American," said he, "hut i cannot shut my eyes to cold facts.. Wo are not prepared to-day to engage In war with any first claBS power. We aro in tho position that Chiua occupied in her recent struggle with .Japan. "We have a vast popula tion, great wealth, boundless resources ami endless patriotism, but wo cannot maintain an offensive or dofenslvo at titude against any one of a. half dozen foreign countries. What lioucnil Miles .says about tho defenseless con dition of our coast cities is entirely coircct. It is true that Now Yorlc and San Francisco aro better protected than our other commercial cities, but even they would bo helpless against tho assaults of a dozen powerful iron clads. So far as tho re maining cities aro concerned they have no protection whatever. Congress ought to mako liboral appropriations for coast defenses, and for additional ships of war. Moro than anything olso wo need a strong navy. If wo had a dozen battleships of tho Indiana class on tho Atlantic coast wo could defy as powerful a maritime country as Great Hritnin. Wo have now four battleships build ing and two others liavo been appro priated for. Wo need at least mjven more. With anything like a fair sys tem of coast defenses wo would be be yond tho probabilities of war. There would bo no moro Corinto incidents; no more talk of foreign aggressions on American soil. The United States would be pre-eminent on tho American continent. The greatest preventive against war is to be fully prepared for it." THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.

Some time ago ho held up all patents of lands to tho Pacific railroads which wero bond nided amounting to 7,000,000 acres. Whether this is an indication that ho intends to make Some radical recom mendations to Congress is not known, but it is a, fact that he has been secur ing statistics relative to tho earnings of the roads and their capacity to earn enough to pny a moderate interest upon tho present indebtedness. It is expected that Congress will undertake to legislate upon tho subject of the Pacific railroads' indebtedness durintr the coming session, nnd the Secretary will no doubt recommend a plan of settlement Secretnry Morton will complete his annual report early next week.

It is now believed that tho powers will not tako definite action ngamst tho porto until nil tho naval Bqundrons sluill havo as sembled in Turkish wnters, which will be about tho tlmo that tho British am bassador, Sir Philip Currio, returns after consulting with his government as to tho futuro notion of Great Bri tain. In the meanwhile tho state of suspenso is decidedly wearying, nnd the ambassadors themselves will bo greatly relieved when tho hour for ac tion on tho part of Europo arrives. That this time is coming now seems to be only a question of days. Thcro seems to bo no doubt that tho spirit of revolution Is spreading evon nmong tho old Turks, nnd the young Turkish party is said to bo rlpo for ro volt. Tho army needs money for pay, equipment and provisions," and tho same stnto of affairs prevails in tho navy, liut tho arrears of pay aro not forthcoming, and there is much grum bling In consequence, except nmong the palaco troops, which are kept woil fed, well paid and comfortably idle, for upon them depends tho safety of the Sultan, who is in hourly drend of assassination. Under tlico circum stances it is not astonishing that tho army and navy nro becoming disaf fected, and nobody would bo as tonished to hear that they had sldod with the revolutionists, should tho uprising tako plnco. Replying to tho inquiry of Unitod States Minister Alexander W. Terrell, as to the safety of tho American mis sionaries, Commissioner Darnhnm has telegraphed from Ilarput saying that the missionaries are alive but in ex treme danger. Mr. Terrell lias In formed Tewfik Pasha that tho govern ment will be held responsible for tho safety of tho Americans. Tho Turk ish minister for foreign affairs has as sured Mr. Torroll that everything pos sible will bo dono for their protection. As Mr. Terrell has great iniluenco with the pnlaco authorities, It may bo presumed tlint Tewfik Pasha will keep his word. Frcsli disturbances are reported from Malatinh, whoro a number of persons havo been killed, including four priests of the Society of Jesus, who were under French protection. Tho French ambassador, Jl. Cambun, has been appealed to, and is preparing a very strong representation on tho subject to tho porte. A squadron of flvo Frencli warships has sailed from tho Piraeus for Turk ish waters, and it is stated that an Italian licet will rendezvous with tho British ileet within a few days. There has been Serious trouble at Caesarca. not far from Jerusalem, but no details of tho rioting thero have yet reached this city. CARLISLE FOR JUDGE. ald t6 Ituvo Ticen Selected for tho Sn prcuio IScneli to Succeed Jackson. Washington, Nov. 1 4. It is rumored in well informed administration cir cles that Secretary Carllslo is to be appoiutcd to tho supremo bench to succeed Justice Jnckson. Tho plan to name Judge Peckhamof New York has been changed by the recent elcctioiif. Had Kentucky elected a Democratic legislature, it was confidently expect od that Mr. Carlisle would, on tho fourth of March, 1807, atep from tho Cabinet into tho Senate. Tiiis anticipation can not now be realized. Tho political revolu tion in Kentucky hn3 also ma terially affected Mr. Carlisle's chances for tho presidential nomination, as well as greatly reduced tho advlsabll ity of being a candidate with tho odds so largely against tho Democrats. Under theso circumstances tho politi cal futuro has littlo attraction for Mr. Carlisle, bcsldci which his tastes and desires lead him naturally to a judicial position. Ho has been so loyal to tho President, even to tho extent of sacri ficing to bonio extent his prcstigo in his own State, that his appointment to the Supreme court would not be ques tioned. Curtis of Kamai for Iteod. Washington, Nov. 14. Congressman Curtis of Kansas, has taken a position well up in the front ranks of tho Ueed rooters. He diplomatically said to day: "Just now Messrs.

The head of the ermine Is seldom seen; that is, tho genuine article for the tiny animal is quite scarce, making the fur as costly, if not costlier, than the royal sable. It has always been the chosen fur of royalty, and is now, beyond a doubt, altogether tho most exquisite fur in tho market. Faihlon Note. Largo flowered veils of lace are seen on some of the new hats.
