Corbin, ad jutant general of the army, sbowa that during the fiscal year tbirty-flve officer were killed In action or died of wound and disease, twenty-cne resigned and ili-ty-elght retired. Of the enlisted men. 1.227 were killed or died of wound and disease; Sfi.fcOS were discharged on the expiration of service; 6.49 were discharged for dis ability or dismissed by order of court-martial; 4,67 deserted, two were missing and 20$ retired. General Corbin calltng attention to hit former recommendation that the rank and pay of military attachece abroad should bo Increased, suggesting that retired offi cer of high rank might be aelected for this service. While the number of attachece haa decreased the service has improved because of the reciprocal relations that have, been established with the War de partment of the several government where officers are atatloned. He cites the two rases where the military attachee at Paris secured the model of the Lebel rifle and the French saddle from the French gov ernment. He discusses the various army schools and points out the advantage which will accrue through them. Praises Maaeaver W.rk. Reviewing the reporta of officers who participated In the army and navy maneu vers last September, he aays: "The maneuver have proved the rank and file of our army ran be depended upon In every emergency; that apparently Im possible tasks can be accomplished under the spur of necessity, and that there Is an Immeasurable gulf between practice and theory. The leasona learned by both offl cera and men were of more practical value than year of ordinary garrison routine aad Instruction could teach." He strongly recommend that similar ex ercises be conducted annually and be made to embrace each year a new theater of operations, so that the benefit may be shared by the different garrisons in the several flelda or defense and adds: "Some nfstetn should be devised by which the arlllery defense' of forte would not be aendered helpless by a heavy fog. The wireless work conducted by the sig nal corps established the fact that wire less telegraphy Is an important factor In the1 defensive operations of an ar tillery district. Increasing by many miles the distance at which the enemy's ap proach can be detected and his ships lo ! rated, thereby affording to the artillery commander ample time In which to perfect his own offensive operations. He ha obtained the number and kind of arms In the hand of the National Guard . of the various late and finds less than 4.000 United States magazine rifles. Of the multitude of other types he says: "This hetergenous collection of obsolete arms is a detriment to the National guard, which In organisation, drill and Instruction as similates closely to the regular army and should be armed with the same arms as the latter. If called Into service under this deplorable condition much trouble and vexatious delay would be Involved In pro Tiding modern arms and argent and unfor een contingencies may lead to disastrous results." lis recommends legislation providing that Major Generals Merritt. Brooke and Otis, on the retired list, be given ths rank of lieutenant general and that Colonel Gil snore and Will is ton be given the rank of brigadier general on the retired Hsu Dlacoarages Early Marrlaae. He haa the following to say concerning early marriages la the army: "The early marriage of the younger of ficer of the army, many of whom are en tirely dependent upon their pay for sup port, is greatly to be deplored and should should be discouraged. A young officer Should bavo but one allegiance to his country. A considerable number are re quired for service In the Philippines, where living Is expenalve, and the accomplish ment of this tour of duty result In actual hardship to officer with famlllea." H says It Is Important that a number of officers have a perfect knowledge of French, German and Spanish and adds that the detail aUff system has worked well and believe that the scheme for a general staff la the best solution for vexatious fric tion that had been planned. Dealing with the canteen question, he aays: "The restoration of the, exchange as It existed prior to the passage of the act prohibiting the aal of beer, is desired and urged by ths great majority of officers and men and by none more than thoae of pro bounced temperance views. Numerous re ports confirm ths view long held by this office that the old exchange contributed to the sobriety, health and contentment of the men. The Increase la the number of desertions and of trials for Infractions of discipline. U, by those best informed, at tributed to the abolition of the former privileges of the exchange. In conclusion, he says: The instruction of men In vocal music would be a step In the direction of content ment eni nettec discipline, tvery regi ment should have Its n urchins torn. Frequent practice in singing, particularly during the ling winter evening, would dj much to make the men satisfied to remain in quarter, snd amy from the baneful influences of barroom that exist too nu merously in proximity with our posts.

Invalidated the "'' runt I tlnnl Am f - -, U . n aa . fh. house. , The question came up when th. ' tnlttee on contested elections presented report without recommendation, leaving the chamber to pas- on the question. Emile t'haurln made a Miter attack on Count de f'ssTllane, declaring he had been guilty of irregularities and saying that the count had accused bis opponent of being of German -lessent and a Dreyfusard. In order to warm the enthusiasm of his partisans th count, he said, had abandoned all reserve and through his agents gave un limited credit In hotels, Inns and drink ing places until the district was gay with fetes and merriment during the campaign. The count replied in vehement tone and Indignantly repudiated the accusations of M. Cbauvln, which he declared were an at tack upon tho Integrity and honesty of his constituent y He explained that he had helped some poor workingmen's organizations, but bad asked nothing In return. When the president of the chamber an nounced the result of the vote he arose and started for the door. His friends crowded around him, shaking his hand. The business of the chamber waa sus pended temporarily. Just before he left the chamber he turned and shouted defiantly: "Gentlemen, I will be wtth you again." During the debate there was much dis order the member of the left applauding the attack on Count de Castellane and Jeering at hi reply, while the count' re publican associate gave him hearty ap plause. The result of the vote necessitates an other election In the Basses Mpes dis trict, represented by Count Boni. FORCE MEN TO STAY AT HOME Aastrlaa Government Asks Law to Prohibit Certala Classes of Emlgratloa. VIENNA, Nov. 7. The Hungarian gov ernment has Introduced an emigration re striction bill of sweeping proportions. One of the provisions strikes a heavy blow at the North Atlantic lines, by empowering the government to send emigrant through the Hungarian port of Flume. I'p to the present time Hungarian emi grants have sailed mostly from Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam and Antwerp. The prospective loss to the German and other steamship lines is likely to be great, because Austria is now preparing a bill similar to that Introduced by Hungary, by ahich It la expected to aend Austrian emi grants through Trieste. The Austrian bill specifically prohibit th emigration of certain classes of peo ple, including men who have not performed military service, parent who leave behind them children under IK years ef age. and person without adequate traveling money or whose expenses ... are paid by foreign states or colonisation societies. I'nder th bill the government can for bid emigration to certain countries entirely, and It can prevent the emigration of certain classes of artisans when this 1 deemed ex pedient.

Tbe committee will at onre call a Joint caucus for next Tuesday of democratic house and aenate members.

The evidence In tbe second trial of Roland B. Mollneux for the murder of Mrs. Katberlne J. Adams ended today and the court ad journed until Monday, when tbe arguments of counsel will be made. A verdict is looked for on Tuesday. Tbe sensational turn given to :he testi mony for the defense yesterday, when Mra. Anna Stephenaon, wife of a Brooklyn po liceman, said she thought Cornish was the man she saw mail tbe poison packago, wa continued today. Cornish wa recalled and asked whether he had a brown 1 overcoat In 1898. Mrs. Stephenson aald the man she saw mall the poison package wore a brown overcoat. Cornish said today he had no overcoat at all that winter, and then Mr. Black read from the minutea of the last trial to show that Cornish had testi fied at that time that he had only one over coat and that It waa brown. The husband of Mrs. Stephenson was called by Mr. Black to say that be never saw Cornish before yesterday and therefore could not have pointed him out to Mr. Stephenson. To Mr. Osborne, Stephenson said be had not reported his wife's story to the authorities, because he "did not take any stock in it." Professor Vulte of Columbia university gave evidence to tbe effect that Mollneux In bis company from noon until after 1 dark on the day the poison package wa mailed. Tbe package was mailed during the afternoon. Testimony Favors Prisoner. Mr. Anna C. Stephenson wa recalled when the trial was resumed today. Aasistant District Attorney Osborne wanted to know if It was true, a reported, that she did not recognlxe Cornish until he waa pointed out to her In court. The wit ness said it was not true. Henry C. Lockwood, a postoffice clerk, testified that he "ould not say exactly at what time the package wa placed in tho mail. He corroborated Mrs. Ktephenaoa'a statement that it waa mailed on the Broad way, side of the -postoffice. - '.-' ., - Harry E. Howell, a clerk In Hardman's tore, testified thxt the boy, ErhardU who aald be wrapped up the silver bottle holder. had made a misstatement. Howell aaid Erhardt had never wrapped up any packages in the store. William K. Ol cot t, associate counsel for the defense, was the next witness. He tes tified that on October 30 he bought cyanide of mercury at a drug store in this city. "I went into tbe store and bought two chem icals," said Mr. Olcott. "Then I asked for some cyanide of mercury. Tbe clerk asked me what I wanted it for. I told him for photographic experiments, and he asked me If I knew it was a poison. I said I did and he gave me a small bottle full." Mr. Olcott was succeeded on the stand by Jobn Sanderson, a clerk In the law office of counsel for the defense, and he and two other employes of the ame office gave tes timony similar to that of Mr. Olcott. None of them had much trouble In getting the poison. H. E. Terry, a reporter, gave tes timony to contradict that of Joseph Koch, who Identified Mollneux aa the man who hired the letter box from bim ia September, 1898. Witness was asked if Koch went to a newspaper office and offered to Identify Mollneux aa the man who hired the letter box if witness would pay him $1,000. Wit ness aald he did. Tbe decree of divorce granted to Mrs. Rogers was put In evidence to show that It was granted after the death of Mrs. Adam, and then, by consent of th prose cution, ex-Governor Black submitted a table compiled by one of his clerks to show that, although tbe written exhibits are made up of several thousand Individual letters, the prosecution baa baaed Ita con tention that Mollneux wrote them all upon tbe similarity found in seme seventeen letters. That closed the case for th defense and Mr. Osborne called Joseph Farrell, the hitherto missing Newark detective, as his first witness in rebuttal. are Ho Told tho Trath. Mr. Farrell, replying to a question by Mr. Osborne, said he waa sure th evi dence he had given at tbe first trial was correct. At that trial he testified that be met Mollneux near a railway atation in Newark on tbe afternoon the bottle holder was bought. Mollneux haa testified at ths present trial that he could not remember meeting Farrell that day. Testifying today, Farrell said his re mark to Mollneux was, "Hello, Rol," and that Mollneux' reply to th greeting was, "Hello, Joe." On cross-examination witness said it was necessary to go eight or nine blocks out of his wsy to reach Hanigan' store la traveling between the railroad station and the factory where Mollneux was employed. George H. Baker, a clerk In the employ of tbe Newark postoffice, testified that tbs Burns letter, tbe conceded writing of Mollneux, was mailed ia Newark within a half-mile of Molineux'a office. The letter was on tbe much-described blue paper, and the object waa to throw doubt oa Moli neux'a .statement that be could not re member where he wrot It, but waa euro that he bad none of that paper at the factory.
