Zallnskl , America's high explosive celebrity , Is studying things , military and otherwise , In Paris , The captmn received the Herald corre spondent thlp cvcnlni : nt the Hotel Byron. Ho la lookme ns well as possible , and says ho Is enjoying every moment of his European experience. Ho is traveling under orders to obtain such information as may bo obtain able , regarding certain military questions. He has already visited England , Holland , Belgium , Don mark and Germany , and may go Into Italy. Coming to his pet tlioino , Zallnski said : ' I am convinced that a European war Is Inevitable , but not In the Immediate future. One consideration alone issufllctont to main tain peace for nt least , two years , viz : The fact that the continental nations will need that amount of tlmo to offset their arms with a now style of rifle , and , possibly , with modi fications of ttiolr artillery , and to meet this requirement a smokeless powder is neces sary In both cases. In this connection I may add that war , instead of being hastened by the frequent Improvements In its appliances , Is actually retarded by them , because when ever anything of military importauco Is dis covered the uotlons arc apt to wait before Halting a conflict until they have tested and applied to their own use Buch discoveries as nre constantly being made. The war may thus bo postponed in definitely , but , postpone It as they may , the crisis must come. When the war docs come it will bo terrible. 1 have Just xvltucsscd the German manoeuvres at Hanover , ana I as sure you Vhat had those Mvo army corps done m earnest what they made a pretense of doIng - Ing , of the 50,000 who went into that ton days' action there would not bo 10,000 ready for service to-day. The rest would have neon placed hors do combat dead or wounded. To sueh n degree have tiio modern improvements in life-destroying machinery added to the horrors of war. " "What nro apt to bo the new features , can tain , of coming wars.1 ! "Quo will bo the smokeless powder , about which so much ndo has buen made , but I am not altogether certain as to the future of this Invention , lu the first nlnco , it is moro than questionable whether it Is within power to preserve its qualities long enough to'make the adoption warrantable , and supposing that the difficulty can bat overcome , there is an objection to Its general use in tbo fact that the manoeuvres of the attacking troops would no longer bo masked , thus placing them at a serious disadvantage. In consequence quence the armies might havo'to carry two kinds of powder , and this would , of course , bo n great encuin- borance. The small bore rlllo Is another nSw thing. The European armies carry rifles to-day with a bore about half the diameter of those used In our late war , and is 73.2 , or 8 Inlllimctors. This results In on appreciable saving in the size and weight of the ammunition , so that a soldier who could lorinorly carry 80 rounds can to-day carry 120 or HO pounds. " "Is there any prospect of using high ex plosive cartridges in rifles ! " "What would bo the advantage ? A rifle ball kills or disables surely euou eh as it is. Wo don't want to blow our enemies' bodies Into fragments. In fact , wo would rather wound tliolr men than kill , because every wounded man Incapacitates ut biust two others , who have to look utter him , \vheroas n dead man only needs burying , and oven that is sometimes omitted.

A Letter From Mr. Hcircs Wliloh Seems to Hnvn Had tlio Desired Effect Sirs. Atltllo J. Par- rnr's Testimony. The Cronln Trial. CHICAGO , Nov. 4. Thoflrst witness In tno Cronln trial this morning was Edward Spell- man , of Pcoria , 111. , who was examined on behalf ot the prosecution by the state's at torney. Ho testified that ho was treasurer of the Great Eastern Distilling company. "Are you a member of the Clan-na-Gaol or United Uiothorhood ? " ho was asked. "I am a member of the United Urothor- hold , " ho replied. "Commonly called the Clan-na-Gaoll" "I Know nothing about that. I do not know what you call It. " "Well , you have hoird It called that ! " "I have heard n good deal said about it in that way since this trial began. " ' ! You have heard of the Clau-na-Gael guards ! " "Yea. " ' "And to bo a member of the Clan-nn-Gaol guards you must bo a member of the United Brotherhood ! " "I do not know anything about that. " The witness then went on to testify that ho was the district ofllcor of district No. 10 , embracing Illinois and Michigan. Ho aid ho was the highest officer in that district , and that lis duties were laid down by the constitu tion. The "executives" is a body in itself , and its duties are provided by the constitu tion. tion."Do "Do you know who constitutes that body now ? " Forrest , for the defense , hero entered an objection to all this testimony respecting the executive board and its..ollicers. The court allowed htm to take an execution. Spolltnan then proceeded to answer the question und said that ho know the names of n number of them. Mortimer Seanhm wes ono , Lawrence Buckley another , and Ron- ayno of Newark another. The witness then identified certain correspondence which passed between himself and Ueggs in regard to the business of the order. As the examination of Spcllman proceeded it became evident that ho was an unwilling witness and that his testimony was different from that ho gave before the grand Jury und from what the prosecution expected , no said ho met Uccgs April 2 < J-nnd ho said that the matter referred to in their correspondence , viz ; that the proceedings of the trial committee had been hold in a certain camp in violation of the rules , had been amicaby settled , The witness then said ho knew Coughlin , who , with a man named Kunze , visited Pcoria a year nco , and presented u letter of introduc tion. Ho said ho had no conversation with Couelilln about Dr. Cronln. This was in direct contradiction of Spellman's previous testimony , ana ho was asked by Longneckor if ho had not said that Coughlin spoke to him about Dr. Cronla ; There was a long wrangle over this question which was finally allowed and Spollmun answered. "Isaid before the grand Jury , that in con versation with Coughlin in Pcoria , ho said Cronm was a , but on reflection on consultation with ton other men present , I sent my attorney to Chicago to notify the district attorney that I was mistaken. My attorney was unable to lind Judge Longcneckor and I came myself specially to Chicago and noti fied Judco Longeneckor and other counsel that if they asked mo that questio'n on the stand I should huvo to deny It In order to do JUHtico to my ownself and to the facts. "After I loft the crand Jury room and wont homo and slept , I felt allured and troubled. I felt I had possibly done wrong to Coughlin , and I went immediately to Mr. Pultons nnd Mr , Downs nnd told them what I had sworn to bolero the grand Jury and that I was bothered about it. They said : 'Mr. Spellman , you have made a mis take ; no such conversation teen place. ' " The witness said In reply to a question that no had seen Alexander Sullivan before going to the state's attorney's oflico , but ho wont there because ho hod been informed that Sullivan was talking very harshly about him nnd that his visit was not in con vection with the cnoo. 'Iho correspondence between Hoggs and Spellman was then read. February 18 , Bcggs wrote : "Why , In God's name , If men are sincere , will they insist upon opening old sorcsi The majority of our men believe the parties charged are innocent of criminal wrong , and to have charges made continually that they are guilty creates bitterness and ill-feeling , and the man or men who continue to make charges nro not friends of Irish unity. * * * The tncn who nro in power will m time realize the methods of these who are continually.breedinir disorder in tbclr ranks , and the day of punishment will come. " After the reading of the correspondence , of which extracts only are given above , a long examination was conducted by Mr. For rest. . During the cross-examination , Mr. Spell- man was asked if Ucgcs over spoke to him about the charges against Cronm. He'ro- pllcd that a great deal was said about Cro- n in , but to put it upon any one man ho couldn't ' do at thin time. "Was it not because of his organization of other camps I" "No , " replied Spollman , "because ho was always anxious to prefer charges. Ho was a kind of agitator. Ho was an honest man , not a bad fellow if ho could have his own way. If not " Mr. Hjmes hero objected to any sueh stato' . ments , ns Cronm is dead and could not respond. Spollumn % aid no charges wore made by Bcggs against any individual , in his olUcla ! position as senior guardian. Tlio defense moved to exclude from the re cords all questions and answers in regard to what was testified to before the grand Jury. A lengthy debate ensued on this point , in the course of which It was stated that Spollman subscribed $50 ! ) towards the arrest and con viction of the murderers ot Dr. Cronin , and that ho had paid $100 of this. It was inti mated that his testimony before the grand Jury was given when ho was in nno frame of mind , and that his present attitude resulted from consultation with friends. The court finally said the authorities might bo brought lu on the point at the afternoon session. The crots-exiiinlnatlou was resumed a the witness answered a number of questions regarding the object of the visit of Kunzo to Peoria with Coughlin. nnd as to whether it had uny connection with Cronln. Bnollman said it had not , af. far as ho know , thouuh ho had no conversation with Kunzo thoro. Coughlln's vlsjt had no connection with Cro nln , und a reference of counsel led to the in ference that it was in connection with the fight between a Chicago distillery and the whisky trust. John A. Mahoney , a Justice of the peace , testified that ho was present ut Coon's hall , Lake View , in March lust when Cronln In stituted n camp of the ( lan-na-Gaal. After the meeting Iceman O'Sullivan ' atkcd the witness about Crouln's standing ns a physi cian , and receiving u favorable replyarrangcc for the witness to visit Cronln with him anc make arrangements for the latter to care for O'Sullivan's men. This arrangement was madu about the middle of April , und O'Sulli van gavu Cronin soaio of his business cards Buying if the doctor was wanted when tu ( O'Sulllvau ) was out of town or sick ono of tlieso cards would bo presented. At tbo afternoon session Judge McConnol said ho considered the testimony of Spellman in controversy and decided to exclude it. Mrs. Addla J. Farrar testified as to a con versation between herself nnd O'tiullivun after Cronfn's body was found , Bho asked O'Bulllvau ' was It not a tcrriblo murder. Tbo iceman hesitated a mouioo nnd then salds "Tlicyfeay 10 was a British spy. " Mrs. Furrar asked i " \\oll , why should hey kill him !

It Is thought that Governor Foraker will > o scratched by some romibllcaus who do lot believe In throe- cnn ociitlvo terms. On the other hand , it is thoucht Campbell will not poll the veto of his party , because 10 is not regarded as being in line with ox- Prosldont Cleveland's policy on- tariff re form. In reviewing the situation , the Leader ( rep. ) will say : "Within the past week the situation has materially brightened for re publicans all over the state , News of the active part the National Liquor Dealers' as sociation was taking to elect Campbell has aroused the republicans. The prospects nro for a heavy vote in the western reserve and means republican victory. " Tlio Plaindealer ( dcni. ) will say : "Tho acmocruts hnvo mndo a vigorous light against great odds.

The campaign which closed to-night has been an exciting ono. Whllo the Dlatforma of both parties laid down principles relating the tariff and other matters , the canvass'hns been marked with much personal bitterness. The contest was recognized pretty generally as cou fined to the two great parties , Tbo labor party has made -scarcely an ef fort to push its ticket. > The prohibition party ' .tins not given as much attention to the b'aavass as usual. , The indications are.that' the voto'ln'the state will fall below that of .last . .year. Both parties are claiming the state by almost the samn figures 15,000 to 20,000 plurality. Thcro is some personal objection to Forakor in Cincinnati , Cleveland and other points , growing out of his appointments , and no is likely to run below the rest of the ticket. The Enquirer ( dem : ) expresses confidence in a brilliant victory for the whole ticket , and of democratic majorities In both branches of the general assembly. The Commercial Gazette ( rep. ) soys the republicans nro fooling hearty over the out look at the close of the ' .campaign ; that thov need the victory that is Just coming tomorrow row to set them right. IN NHW , ' * Ult.lt. Tlio Interest Centura In the Balloting for i ho LiC < ; lFilnturp. NEW YOUK , Nov. 4.Th0 greatest interest in the election to morrow centers In the bal- lotlntr for the legislature ; The republicans had a majority in the Idstlogislaturoof about forty on Joint ballot. It 1 % their ambition to increase It to two-thirds majority so it will bo possible to pass measures over the demo cratic governor's vetoes. ' On tlio other band the democrats hope to-rcduco the republican majority , and if possible to wipe it out en tirely. The state ofllcers to bo chosen are the sec retary of state , comptroller , state treasurer , attorney general , statd engineer and Judge of the court of appeals. As the state is considered' naturally demo cratic , and no Issues have arisen to divert votes in largo numbers , there is reason in tbo cl im of the democratic leaders thit the state ticket is to be successful , although the republican leaders are very hopeful. In New York city the situation is compli cated by n singular combination made be tween the county democracy and the repub licans to defeat the Tammany hall ticket , nnd the impression prevails that this will lead to n goad deal of trading , and It already has been charged that moro or less coloniza tion of voters has been indulged in.

WASHINGTON UUIIHAU TUB OuuBr.n , ) fil3 FOUIITEBXTU STHRBT , > ASiiisarox. D. U. , Nov. 4. | Just ns soon ns the results of the Ohio campaign are known Mnjor Molvintoy Is ex pected to como hero nnd onon his speaker- shlphoadmiartors. And well ho may hasten to do so. Tom Heed , his most prominent opponent , has permitted no grass _ to grow under his feet this summer. Ho went out on the Pacific slope and captured t < nrt of the California delegation , helped Oregon and got the vote of Hormiin , her only con- grcssman , then tooK the sttj nip in Montana nnd scoured the support ot Carter , the mem ber of congress from that now state. Then "your uncle Tom" has made a careful canvass of Now England nnd Now York , and It Is reported hero that very few of Its members will got uway'from him. There Is an Im pression among his friends hero that Major MoKlnloy Is depending upon his prestige to carry him through. To-day's Post has this nniong n lot of spcakorship gossip : "On the first ballot It Is conceded that Heed nnd McKlnloy will bo the leaders. The suuportors of the former muko the broad claim that ho Is al ready elected and that after the complimen tary votes have been cast there vill bo no ono eKe In the ruco. The argument ad vanced is that ho can bo made speaker with out belittling nny ofthe other candidates. To bo beaten by the leader of the party In the house for the past six yours , whoso leadership in that time has been unchnl- lonccd , would give no occasion for Jeulousy on anybody's part and that naturally when any of tbo other candidates withdraw from the race they will throw their streimth for Keed In preference to having it go else where. " If the claims of Hood's friends nro not un founded , and ho becomes speaker , there are still places of high honor for these who have entered the contest against him. Major McKlnlov , who has the distinction of being the chief exponent of the tariff as viewed from the republican standpoint , nnd who prepared the tariff ulank In the lust national platform , is naturally the most prominent suggestion for chairman of the committee on ways and means.

So much has been said by members of con gress and civilians generally about the reor ganization of the army that there can i > o little tlo , if nny , doubt of the passasjo of n bill at the approaching session of congress which will maito material aud important changes in the ran if and file. Th'o 'secretary of war and the general of the army , together with nearly all the promi nent brigadiers and colonels , have recently expressed.lhomBolvcsi > ubllely or officially , in' reference to desertions from the army , und have stated that something must be dor.o to inspire each soldier with an esprit do corps by giving him some Incentive intended to bring out a Uudable ambition. The recruit ing service is blamed for much of the trouble resulting in desertions. To-day's Post in discussing the question says on this point : 'Tno fact is our armv is modeled to too great an extent on on aristocratic European typo that is fading rfut olsowhere. Our of ficers must como nearer to their men and become - come Interested in what they do and feel. "Discipline instead of a degrading snobbishness must become altogether a mat ter of official and regulated oboyanco. Then if the pay of n soldier were raised to $20 n month , It his food and clothing were im proved , if his duties were so defined that ho could have regular leisure for mental culti vation and if no could hopa that attention to duty and self-culture would win for him promotion wo tnuy bo sure there would bo fewer desertions. Uflttor material would bo recruited and the now soldiers would huve to bo treated as men not us menials. " lNI'iiCE3TlU : IN THE ELECTIONS. The deepest interest is felt in administra tion circles in the issue of to-morrow's ' elec tions. Iho white house and all the executive de partments have government operators , and their wirfs uro all connected with these of the Associated press and thu United press , so that the president and every member of his cabinet is kept in constant communica tion with the news centers. The administration very naturally cher ishes the earnest hope that to-morrow will bring forth the unqualified endorsements of the policy nursuod by President Harrison in the shape of rousing republican victories. In Virginia , particularly , Mr. Harrison takes deep Interest , and he will bo kept constantly advised all day of the progress of the voting. SOUTH IIAKOTANS CIIOOSK SEATS. * South Dakota's senators to-day chose their scats on the floor of the senate. Their selections give ono a very good idea of how the other half dozen now state sena tors will bo seated. Both of the South Da kota senators selected chairs at the extreme southeast wing of the republican side. Sena tor Moody , who is twelve or fourteen years the senior of his colleague , and whoso beard und hair are snow white , will sit nt the right of Senator Chandler , of New Hampshire , while Immediately to Mr. Chandler's left , and further around toward the center aisle , are seated Messrs. Stanford , of Cali fornia , and Stewart , of Nevada. Senator Pettlgrow selected the scat to the right of Mr. Moody , so the two South Da kota senators will sit together. There will bent nt least four moro men from iho now states seated on the republican side , and if Mon tana goes republican tbcro will bo six , which may make it necessary for some moro re publicans to ( , ' 0 over on the democratic side , whcio there is room. Senator lilair , who Is Mr. Chandler's colleague , took a chair on the democratic , side a couple of years ago , althouuh ho U u very ardent republican. Ho is better situated there. Ho is next to the center aisle , and at the extreme southeast corner of the democratic wing. There are three vacant chairs In the extreme northern part of the republican side much nearer the presiding officer than these selected by ttio South DukuU senators to-day , but they do not give as good a view of the senate , the proceedings and the eallories. These will. bo taken by the accessions from North Dakota and Washington , In tlio selections of seats tlio first who como are the first served. TANNEK PORSN'T OAHB.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 4 , Inspector General Hrcckenridgp , ot the nrmv , in his annual report devotes considerable sp.ico to the much motncd question of desertion. He says in parti Wo should first render it Inexcusable and then tnnko It Impossible and bo always hu mane. Our methods of enlistment and thu falhu-o to Insure nrrcU mav not promote hut apparently have failed to guard ntmlust this crime. " * General Hreckonrldgo argues in favor of the inorg rigid experiment , of discipline and the laws already in force ugrlnst desertion. It should be made easier to leave the service honorably than dishonorably and u typo should bo enlisted who don't care to dosort. A change Is recommended lu the manner of paying the officers nnd men. General Hrcckcurldgo thinks the officers In the nrmy should be promoted for leiicth of servlco as well ns for merit The inspectors unite in reporting that the tone and bearing of the enlisted men Is con stantly improving. It Is recommended that measures bo taken to secure the improvement of noncommissioned sioned o Ulcers , such us increasing their uav , assembling them for Instructions , etc. lie recommends the adoption of the thrco bat talion organbatlon for infantry regiments ; that the line bo given thu sumo chance for promotion us the staff ; the rearmament of the forces and the restoratioa of the rank of lieutenant General. At forty-three military educational Institu tions in the country there are 13,1181 students , of whom fi.TD.I attend military Instructions.

Ttio Importance of Homo Sort of Tenure Ur od Latter tiny Saints Wctldcd to I'olyjjniiuI'lio Publlu SuliooU Won It. T ho .Mormon Problem. WASHINGTON , Nov. 4. Governor Thomas , of Utah territory , lu his annual repoct , says that during the last nine years the foreign born population has boon Increased by Mor- uion immigration by l,09l. ( ! Upon the subject of unoocuulocl tmbllo lands , t'io ' governor says , the question of what the government nhould do with the vast traols ot land which can b < i used only for grazing purpose * is assuming vital Im portance throughout the west. Under the present conditions unoccupied lands nro used by persons engaged In stock raising , and us there is no harmony of Interests among them there is frequent conflict be tween clashing interests. The governor ] of the opinion that If the government would provide some way by which persons engaged in stock raUlngeouid acquire tltlo to the gni7lng lands which can never bo used for agricultural purposes , It , would roniovo ono of the most serious drawbacks to the growth of the stock Industry and promote the settle ment of the country. Grazing nnd mountain lands constitute nearly Rovon-otghlhu of the entire land urea of the territory. In the eour-io of his report upon public nnd denominational schools the governor says i "Whilo Utah has a very fair system ) of pub- Ho schools , they fall far short of what they should bo. The tax collected for the support of schools docs not pav ouu'half the expense of maintaining them , consequently the pupils must pay tuition fees or the schools would bo closed. In many of the uooror districts the children are denied school privileges for many mouths of the year. I atn led to bollovu that there is no prospect that this will bo changed , by the fact that the Mormons nro prcnutlng for denomina tional schools , In which their children may bo taught Mormon theology in addition to tno ordinary branches of education. State or county ncadomies hnvo been established under church auspices and in some school districts Mormon children Imvo boon with drawn trotn the public schools and placed In the church schools. " The governor quotes from a loiter written by President Woodruff , of the Mormon church , to show that it is the purpose ot the church to establish these church schools. la It Woodruff says : "Our children , If loft , to the training they receive in those ( public ) schools , will grow entirely ignorant of those principles of sal vation for which the Latter Day Saints made so many sacrifices. To permit this condition of things to exist lunonir us would bo crimi nal. " Uemnrklng upon this letter the governor a ays It Is plain the church has decided to take its place as nu enemy of the public school system nnd of the principles which are at its foundation. Speaking of the geiitlln strontrth in the territory , the governor says : "The time may como when the gentiles will bo in the majority , but Itwill , bo many years hpnco , Thu fact Is that outside of ball Lake und Oudon the gcntllo population is found in the mining camps and in thu smaller railroad towns. " The governor writes nt length Upon the nresent attitude of the Mormon people. Tney Imvo accepted the doctrine of poly gamy , ho says , und will probably adhere to it as long us they live. They accept the doctrine of plural marriage In all sincerity an a radical and necessary part of their reli gion. The Mormon church , the governor says , is heavily engaged In politics , nnd adds ; "I don'l hesitate to say that any temporizing izing policy which leaves the church In a position to control the political policy of the territory is only delaying the final settle ment und that the future legislation should bo aimed at the. political power of the church , which has been the mam pillar of the church in Utah. " CUUUOIVF.I' ; Chief Blnyca Strongly Opposed toSelt- int ; It to the Government. KANSAS CITV , Nov. 4. A special from Talcqunii , Indian Territory , contains a copy of thu annual message delivered by Chief Mayes to-day to the Cherokee council. 'Ihot portion which relates to the sale of the Chorukeo outlet recommends that tno lands ho not ceded to thu government of the United States , except it bo donu by u change of the constitution of the Cherokee nation. Ho holds that tbo constitution forbids the sale of the lands to any ono for any reason. Ho licenses the government of dealing unfairly with the Indians , and states his belief that the government has no right to force the Indians to sell their lands. A changu In the constitution can only bo made by submitting the question to u vote of the nation , und that will have to bo done by councils authorizing Chief Maycs to so sub mit it. Interviews with members of the council on the question of the sale of the strip show that the majority of these now * on the ground nre opposed to it. General Fulrchild ami Judge Wilson , of tlio Cherokee commission , were present , also a big lobby of cattle men. IEAI LY WIRES. A Horse IloiiRtcd to Death and People linoclcod .
