KO SHAPE FOB, WAR.
UNCLE SAM MUST NEEDS BE
STIft HIMSELF.
Admiral XTnlfcrr Corroborate All tlint I
Set Porth by General MUCH Till
Country Declared to Io nt the. Mercy of
1'orelcn Kocs Urgent Need of War
Willi n Well n Count Fortification.
In Tlmo of renee Prepare for AVar.
Washington, Nov. 10. 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."

hatolli and many other prominent
and lugh churchmen. There were

university and President Harper
of the Chicago univcra'ty. In his let
ter Mgr. Satolli expressed solicitude
for the movement und indorsed the
past liibo of the uuion, expressing
himself as 'n favor of reading selected
portions of tho bible. 'I would like
to say," said Mrs. Kimball, "that wo
have received a great many communi
cations from tho Catholic clergy, and
in nq instance havo they opposed tho
move, so long as it is strictly non
sectarian in its nature."
It is the plan of tho union to select
passages of Scriptmo for uso in tho
public schools, which shall bo entirely

be made by a committee composed of
different rolicious denominations.

association, was here, giving directions
about tho third Rnnunl convention to
bo held hero December 18 and 10. Tho
oxccutlvo committco iu charge of nil

nothing undone. It is expected that
more than COO delegntcs will bo pres
ent, besides hundreds of visitors. The
railroads will mako cheap rates and
many will come hero to seo tho prac
nl demonstration of irrigation. Invita
tions will be sent to all tho county and
municipal bodies in tho state, irriga
tion associations, nnd all nowspapors.
Colordo and Wyoming will send emi
nent speakers, Nebraska's orators will
bo fully represented, nnd a Hood of ex
cellent" thoughts will bo brought out,
showing tho value of united action
upon this important enterprise. Thou
sands of dollars will be expended in
western Ncbrabka the coining year
upon wind mill and pump irrigation.
The largo canal companies aro nlrendy
reaping tho bonetlts of their work and
tho valleys aro producing vast amounts
of tho necessaries of life.
It is a revelation to visit an irrigated
farm arid seo what nature can unfold
when supplied with Wator. Tho wntor
wasted every year in the Platte valley
would irrigate 5,000,000 acres of land.
Tho coming convention will bo a
thorough educator and will demon
strato to tho people how to utilizo this
vast body of water, which at tho pres
ent timo benefits no one.
With only a small effort tho farmer
can bo educated and taught how to
handle tho water. There will bo
plenty of liotol accommodations. Tho
ladies of Cheyenne county aro also on
listed in the cause and will endeavor
to entertain with a lavish hand.

most Interestlntr mado by a Secretary
of tho Interior for several years. Moro
interest centers about the recommend
ations the Secrotary will make for
tho settlement of tho Pacific railroad
debts than anything clso. It is
known that he believes in n con
tinuous lino of Pacific roads from
Omaha to the Pacific ocean, and that
ho thinks such a line can bo oper
ated to advantage. 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. Ho

SENATOR HARRIS' VIEWS.
Tho Tennessee Stnteouian on the .Sllvci
Issue In the Next Campaign.
Washington, Nov. 10. In a let
ter from Scnntor Harris of Ten
nessee to his free silver col
leagues here he says: "Iu tho
Htfht of recent election results thero
is, in my opinion, no hopo of Demo
cratic success in ISOo unless we can
succeed in so organizing tho bimetallic
Democrats as to secure in the national
convention a plain, distinct and unmis
takable declaration in favor of tho freo
und unlimited coinage of both silver

cial policies of any country, nnd,
therefore, it appears to me that we
should redouble our efforts to secure
such organization."

AVnltlnp for Wnmlilpt.
CoxatAxtinoit.k, Nov. 14. 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. Reed and
McKinloy seem to be In the minds of
tho people most prominently. Reed is
gaining strength all tho time. If ho
wasn't so far East he should begin to
preparo for a four years' sojourn in
tho Wnito house right now. My bo-P-i
is that tho Kansas delegation will
go to tho National convention unin
structed, but there will certainly bo
among our delegates some men who
will fight hard for tho man from
Maine.'' (

Nhw YoitK, Nov. 14. Lawyer Frank
Moss, representing tho Parkhurst So
cioty, who was associate counsel to
the Lexow Committee, which tried
hard to prove ox-Superintendent
Byrnes guilty pf malfeasance in office,
said to-day in reference to tho charge
mado by Gambler Schaeffer that
Byrnes had accepted a bribe; "Tho
Grand Jury should indict Byrnes, if
corroborative evidenco can bo founu,
providing tho statute of limitation
does not interfere."
Maher Issues n Challonge.
New Yoiik, Nov. 14. Peter Maher,
who knocked out Steve O'Don
nell so handily challenges
any man in tho world to fight for tho
championship and he will not put tho
stakes so high that no one except a
man with 3,000,000 ncres behind him
can accept. Maher will fight for 85,000
a side, iu public or private, and will
go any placo to do battle, South
Africa not barred.
Brady, Corbctt'a manager, Bays the

Maher and will back him for 10,000

ou his nnnuul messago to Congress,
It 1ml lent os that a canal across tho
Isthmus via tho Kloaraguati route Ib
entirely fcaslblu from an engineering
point of vlow, Tho cost of the pro
ject us estimated was SI tO.OD'l.OJO. but
It is stated that this sum is too small
by some millions.
Tho route ns proposed by tho com
mission is 170 miles long, or thrcoor
four miles longer than that which tho
canal company propped. Tho com
mission made surveys to tho right and
loft of tho company' route and lias
suggested soiuu changes which it be
lieves will bo advantageous. The
commissioners' wntcnvny will bo
supplied with locks. Tho San Juan
river nnd L-tUe Nicaragua will
bo employed, but tho former will
require considerable dredging. Tho
lnko is fifty-six and one-half
htllos across from tho San Juan to tho
mouth of the Lajas. Somo dredging
will bo required on the west eoaHt of
the lake, which is shoal for a distance
of something like 1,'JftO feet Brito
.vlll bo tho western terminus o tho
ennal and tho distance from this port
is a littlo more than soventeen milos.
Tho estimate has been made that, in
order to complete tho canal which tho

Answer: Tho situation seems a rathor
unfortunate- ono as far as tho young
pooplo aro concerned, but it might bo
very much worso. Thoro will bo long
yoars boforo them when thoy may bill
and coo as much as thoy pleaBC. They
certainly should ho thankful that they
aro permitted to bo bo much togothcr

them in check. Young peoplo oftqn love
each other much moro devotedly whn

Hcndx nnd Tall of Animal.
Judging from tho number of small
beasts' heads neon on tho winter trap
pings, ono would lmaglno thoro had
been wholesalo slaughtering during tho
summer. In many cases, as, indeed,
in almost all of them, theso small
heads, wjth their knowing ears and
eyes, nro tho productions of skillful
manufacturers, but so llko tho genuine
littlo beasts as to dccelvo many people.
Theso heads aro used not only as clasps
on fur capes, collarettes or muffs, but
as fasteners on cloth jacket fronts, as
ornaments on street frocks and often
as bat decorations. Tails como next in
favor, and adorn muffs, collarettes,
often wholo collarettes aro composed of
them; and one often sees them lying
sedately on the brim of a smart hat.
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.
