On the subject of fortifications the report says : The great range of modern hlgh powcr guns compels the establishment of defensive lines at distances from the cities and har bors ) considerably greater than heretofore deemed necessary. At many harbors the sltos of ninny old works are at distances from tbo objects to be protected Insufllcient to admit of ii proper defense under modern conditions. A * other harbors the areas of the older sites , when otherwise suitable , are too small to accommodate the modern de fenses. The acquisition of suitable sites has therefore been n necessary feature of the construction of a modern system of KUV- : coast defenses. The operations attending the acquisition of sites are often attended by odious and unavoidable delays. At suv- ertil points where defenses are urgently re quired It 1ms been Impossible to proceed with their construction for want of the nee. essory land. A number of Important sites still remain to bo acquired to carry out the approved projects nnd should be secured as promptly as possible , HO that no delays maybe bo experienced In construction when funds become available. Another appropriation ot $ . "iOO,000 1 earnestly requested to continue the purchase of necessary sites. Congress has authorized the contract sys tem lu work on fortifications , but It Is not approved by General 'Wilson ' , who pays. Tha contract system In Its application to fortifications Is open to grave objections , chief among which Is tha publicity neces sarily given to the plans to unable the In tending bidders to submit proposals intelli gently. The character of the work Is such that perfect freedom to introduce , changes during construction Is desirable , u freedom that Is seriously hampered by the existence of a contract. Comparison of results during the last fiscal year between the contract and hired labor systems shows the latter to be superior , being more rapid , satisfac tory and equally economical. A continuance of the contract system. In connection with the c-onstructlon ot fortifications , cannot bo recommended.

Consul Genera Hurst at Vienna has made a special report to the State department concerning the out look for American grain In Austria-Hun gary. He ways the- abnormal weather In Juno and July affected the crops and cause" widespread loss , especially In Alfreld , the richest grain-producing region. In good years Hungary derives the principal part of Its Income from the exportation of grain , Austria being a large purchaser ot Hun garian grain The shortage In Hungary Is estimated as follows. Wheat , 27,787.500 bushels ; rye , 9,202,500 bushels ; barley , 8,233- 333 bushels ; oats , D.014.GS3 bushels. The Vienna exchange has purchased groin from abroad to meet the fall demand. In Seplem- ber 1.331,005 bushels had been Imported chiefly from America , and American rye has already been purchased for delivery In Aus. trla. These supplies come from Rotterdam and Antwerp , where are situated the great granaries controlled by International grain merchants who buy Irc. transoceanic sources and cell to continental customers. Varying reports have been had from Hus sla , but the best authorities say there wil be little export from Russia after the homo demand Is supplied. There has been much speculation on the bourses of Vienna nnd Duda-Pcdtb , and In order to avoid this millers have decided lo buy abroad at pricso which are kept secret at present. Millers < ire uot very well acquainted with foreign wheat , but Rood results have been arrived at already with Kansas wheat. Australia ! millers have always found a ready inarke for their flour , but It now appears tha American Hour can compete with Austrian flour. "It In believed , " says the conmil general "that the abolition of the tarltT on whea lo France will have a good affect on the prices of American wheat and the aglta < lion Is watched with Interest In Austria.

The rejection by Ihe Creek legislature yesterday of the Dawcs commission agreement for the rehabilitation of the tribe Is viewed with much concern by the tribal authorities.

So ar none of the agreements made by the commission with representa tives of the tribes have been ratified and the negotiations now on with the Cherokees arc not progressing satisfactorily.

In special cases these allot ments of funds are particularly heavy and out of all proportion , In the opinion of the secretary , to what they should be. It is foil to be singular that within a few weeks after the commissioning of a brand new nhlp II should ho tied up to a wharf In a navy yard for extensive alterations under the guise of repairs. These changes , for they are not repairs In the true sense , are made on the suggestion of various olllcers anil the sum total of the expenditures on that account has grown so largo that the secre tary has been Impelled to Ls.jue a circular for the guidance of all olllcers concerned.
