Small Increase ot Cost.
Waiqivotoit, D. C.. Oct. 11.?Major
General Scofield, general of the army,
lias made to tho secretary of war bis report
on the operations of the army during
the post year.
Gonoral Scofiold, who has been at tho
head of the army sinco tho death of
General Sheridan, annonncea his retirement
next year.
Tho report ia principally devoted to a
discussion of tho nocossity for strengthening
the military arm of the government
to cope with internal disorder, as
well as possible danger from without,
particular reference being made to the
Debs strike.
"During a largo part of tho year," the
report says, "tho army has been emplovod
in the aupproHeion of domestic
violence, which took tho form, in many
canea, of forciblo resistance to tho execution
of tho laws of the United States,
seizure or detraction of property undor
the care of United States officers and
tinnn ditfinncn of tho national authority.
KXTEKT OF TITK DIBOUDBR. \
Those tliaorilors, at first local in their j
character, sproad at length to about one- J
half in number, and two-thirds in area, ^
of all tho states and territories, oxclud- ,
ir*vr Almka. So widespread and formidable
an insurrection called for tho vigorous
action dictated by the President. ;
"At tho city of Chicago resistance to
lawful sway assumed such iorraidablo
proportions that it was nocossary to
concentrate at that place nearly all tho ,
army forcos that could bo made available
from all parts of tho country, while,
on tho Pacific coast, tho navy departmeat
placed at tho disposal of tho do- ,
partmont commandor tho naval and {
nmrino forcos at ttio Mare Island navy
yard and thoso forces roturnod valua- ,
bio sorvicos. The rosponsiblo duties (
thus developed upon the army depart- (
meat commanders, wore performed by {
tbetn and the troops under thoir command
in tho most satisfactory inannor.
Tho insurrectiou was promptly suppressed
without any unuocoasary aacriiico
of life in any case.
THE VALUE OF TnB ARMY. ,
"The prompt and vigorous action of
tho troops in all cases and tho groat
forbearance manifested by them when
subjected to all sorts of insults and indignities,
designed to provoko retaliation,
were worthy of the very higbost
commendation. They illustrated in the
most striking manner the great valuo
to a government of a woli disciplined
force at all times subject to the ordora
of that govornmont for the enforcement
of the faithful execution of its laws.
It is cortainly manifest that the prosent
condition of the country, with a
population of 70,000,000 under the dangor
of disorder not known to exist cannot
bo met by the samo force that was
doomed adequate twenty-five years ogo.
"The etfeetivo strength of the army
should bo considerably increased. This
ran be done at a very small comparative
increaso in cost. Tho preflent regimental
organizations need not bo largely
incroasod.
' Tho most populous and one of tho
most wealth? ol all tho nations of tho
earth is subjected to oxtremo humiliation
and disgrauo, to result possibly in
the ovorthrow ol a dynasty, at tho
hands of a little nation of ono-tonth its
population and about one-tonth its territorial
area. And why is this? It is
not bocause tho great pooplo aro lacking
in talent, or general education or courage,
but bocaugo they havo failod to
develop their military strength and resources.
A STRONG COMPARISON*.
"The relation of tho Unitod Statoa to
tho great military powora of Europe
now exhibits a far groator disparity in
respect to preparation for war than that
which has exiatod botwoen China and
Japan. Will tho peoplo of tho United
States and their representatives have
tho modesty to apprecinto and tho wisdom
to protit by this lesson?
"The most liberal appropriations for
this purpose will bo tho wisostoconomy."
Ciouoral b'chofield then procoods with
reports oi tho details of army management
and his recommendations, llo
recommends tho increaso of tho supply
of modern arms for regular troops ond
organized militia and appropriations
for heavy armamontfor additional cavalry
for service in tho torritorios traversed
by tho railroads for transportation
of govornmont troops and carrying
the mails.

AnniAKt Mich, Oct. 1L?For th? flnt
imo in a waek Governor McKinley
o-day was permitted to enjoy hi*
reakfut without interraption. The
ustom has been to make a speech beween
eacli half dozen bites and the
trance experience of to-day waa donbly
feasant. It waa about 7 o'clock when
he special train stopped at the Wu>aah
depot. Mr. A. W. Smith, chair*
nan of the Republican state executive
sominitteo of Michigan, accompanied
he governor from bpringfield. The
rain stood at tho depot until 0 o'clock,
fhen a lino of men, headod by a band,
narched down the road and then
narched back again with Governor Mo
ICinleyin their midst, 'ihe speaking
vas at tho fair grounds, the audienco
jnmbering three or four thousand.
At Adrian Govornor McKiuley was
net by Genorai Algor. Govornor Rich
ind others, who escorted him to De;roit.
A stop oi throo hour* was inado
it Jackson in ordor to enablo tho govsrnor
to address an immense crowd
rathered at the fairground, ho referring
eelingiv to the fact that Jackson wai
he birth-place of the lie publican party,
ivhich had done more for the freedom
)f mankind and secured more opportunities
to the people than
iny othor political party whose
jiswry has been written anywhere
in the world. During the
fears that it controlled the governnent
in the United States enjoyed a
jroater prosperity than it over did be
ore or line ainco enjovod. A brie! stop
nras made at Ann "Arbor, where the
itudent* at the University and a great
number of others gave McKlnley a
rather boietoroua greeting, but entirely
-espectful hearing. The governor said
hat the Republican party was willing
:o submit its principles to the judgment
>f tho educated young men of the county,
adding: 14 Wo have nothing to foar
in that respect."
Then he continued:
'President Lincoln onco said that he
lid not know very much about political
jconomy, but ho did know that if ho
bought a ton of iron in Europe and paid
twenty dollars for it, while ho had tho
iron ore Europo had tho monoy, but
that if he bought a ton of iron in tho
United States, he not only had the iron
but ho bad the satisfaction of knowing
that tho United titatoa had the money,
lie migiit have gone further and said
that tho iron he bought in tho United
States was made from ore mined in tho
United Statoa and furnished employment
and wagoe to Amorican workmen.
What wo want to*day in this country is
to keep wido open the doonjf opportunity.
We want to pursue no policy,
follow no theory of political economy,
which will dobaso our American citizenship
and shut out tl?o young men of the
country from tho highest possibilities."
Not until well after dark was Detroit
reached. There was a big crowd at tho
depot to choor and follow him in an
organized procession to the residence of
General Alger, whore ho will spend tho
night. Tho Auditorium to-night was
literally packed and Govornor McKintoy
found his audience to bo ono of the
most rosponsivo that ho has yot addressed.

Syhaccsb, N. Y., Oct.' 11.?Senator
David Uennett Hill sounded the keynote
of his campaign for governor tonight
in this city and with his addroav
opened a partisan battle that promises
to be historical in the annals of stato
politics.
The Alhambra rink was tho sceno of
the opening noto of warfare. Tho first
political meotiug that ever named Senator
Hill for an oftico as*emblod under
its roof.
Some 3,000 people heard Senator liill
spoak and half an mauy more were unable
to gain admission. The American
tiajj was very much in evidence as a decoration
and a good many of tho fmr
sex lunt their preaenco to the occasion.
A fnm mlnnlna KnfnM 3 ftVlnflk. tllfiffi
was an uproar, arisiug on aoata and
(Treat enthusiasm aa .Senator Hill, drossod
in a plain frock coat and back tio,
stopped upon tho platform. Ho was
thouBnal cool, impasaivo statesman and
to tbo storm of applause made but a
alight inclination of his hoad.
Wiien his name was mentioned the
senator stepped to tho front and stood
with one hand on tho tablo, facing his
audience. For some minutes he waited
while the audienco cbeored and then
choerod again, and then ho began his
speech.
Ho was listened to with great attention,
but was frequontly interrupted
with most vociferous applauso.
Ho apoko in a clear, concise and convincing
way, and held his audience
until the laat word.
His allusions to tioymour, Cleveland,
Flower and the A. 1\ A. issue caused
tumultuous applause.
[The senator's speech was on tho
same lino as that delivered by him at
the Saratoga convention, which appeared
in those columns. It opposes

A NEW ULIMltTUllH
lu Our Naval Cou*tructlon?Torpodo
liont* to bo iiutlt.
Washington, Oct. 11.?For tho first
time the naval constructors have undertaken
to build small torpedo boats to
be carried on tho desks of tho Maino
and Texas. Two of those boats aro
building at tbo Now York navy yard
and two at tho Norfolk navy yard, and
thoy are now nearly completo. These
littlo craft aro marvels of lightness and
efficiency.
The problem presented to the constructors
is to socure this oxtromo
lightness, combinod with tho stifFneaB
and strength necessary to withstand the
severe strains of the powerful engines
and weight of the torpedo tubes. This,
it is believed, has boon satisfactorily
solved. Tho skin of tho boats is but
3*32 of an inch thick, weighing 3$
pounds per square foot. Tho Maine's
boats are a littlo more than two tonB
displacement larger than the TexnV
boats, and their length is 51 feet 3
inches, and 50 feet, respectively. With
ono ton of coal aboard, water in tho
tubuloua boilers, the Maine's boats,
with a displacomont of nearly 15 tons,
weigh but 13,785 pounds. To the interest
of lightness and stability oven tho
.shafts nro but thin tubes, ana uie
cranks revolve below the lloor platos.

anxious to covor uu this particular
transaction waabecauao his sympathies
had boon aroused for tho family of the
fficer, and ho did not wish to make
thorn suffer through tho publication of
the story.
A numbor of other witnesses wore
called to the stand. Perhaps the most
interesting developments at the hearing
to-day rame out through the examination
of J. Lawronco Carney, a policy
writer. He told without any trace of
nervousness and apparent frankness nil
of tho secrets of the policy business*
Tho man who gives out the
policy numbers daily is P. J.
Conlan, of Jorsey City. Every day at 1
p. ra. and ft p. in., two messages are
Hashed over tde telegraph wires from
Covington, Ky. Those words roprosont

This messago is deciphered and sent

that ho abandoned the business two

NEW YOltK POLICY SHOPS
All Hun Under. Police Protection?Interenting
ToHtlmoiiy.
New York, Oct. 11.?Tho Loxow committee
was late in reconvening this
aftorrioon. Lawrence Carrfey, a youthful
writer and backer of tho policy business,
told about that traffic. Tho policy
men were safo from intorferouce, said
ho, the police being vory Intiiuato with
thorn.
To-day 003 policy ibop9 are open. A
man namod P. J. Oonlin, living in Jerhov
City, receives tho cipher daily from
Kentucky and gives it to tho buckors.
lie related entertainingly how tho policy
business is conducted. Tho polico
would saunter into hia policy shop and
say, "Don't let newspaper men or central
office men in. You can keep open
on the quiet."
Carney had prepared a list of tho policy
shops now operating in tho various
precincts, but said thoy would all bo
closed to-morrow when his evidonco
was published. Ho mentioned Captains
Martona and Slovins as being particularly
a liable to policy mon. Sovoral
wooks ago Ward Detective Callighan

"The old man says go up higher,
Carney."
"What did ho moan?" askod Uncle
Dan Bradloy.
44 Why, to co in another room?go on
the floor above, so when Parkhurst poopie
carno tlioy would fiud the old shop
closed. See?"
Carney thon described policy trices.
He said it would bo impossible to opon
a policy shop without permission from
the captain of tho precinct. Since the
reform wavo struck the city policy
writing had decreased 50por cent, "but
it will spring up again when you senators
lot up," said Carney.
Carnoy said that on one occasion a
partner policy man named Doro had to
pay $50 to tho Gerry society agents to
escape their clutches. Doro had sold a
slip to a boy, and tho Gerry people
throatenod to arrest him unless hegavo
them monoy.
George W. Miller, of tho annexed
district, said he paid $15 to tho police to
havo tho polling place of the district on
his premises. The city allows tho landlords
of the polling places $50, so Millor
profltod $35 by his transaction.
Mr. Gofl paid: "This is the custom.
Tho polico got $15 ont of tou placos in
ovory oloction district. As thoro aro I
over a thousand districts, the rovonue
from them would run into thousands." 1

House lartt night, addressed by Hon. 8.
r- 1!. Ulkiua, wan ouo of tho grandest
rallies ovor soon in NYheeliux under the
aunpicoa of either party. Tho house
' never held mure people, because it
i. could not. Downstairs and up thoro
y was not room loft to squeozo iu another
J. person, and even tho stage was packed
). closoly clear back into tho wines. Mr.
0 Klkius urrivod from MunniuK'tou, whore
ho spoko yesterday afternoon, on the 5
o'clock iJnliiiuoro At Ohio train. Ho was
ln mot at tho station by County Chairman
Hull aud escorted to tho .McLuro hyuso,
g. wlioro many frionds called on him. In
tho evening tho Opora Uou?o band
le pluyod several soloctions in front of
a* tho McLuro homo, and lator in
front of tho Opora lloaso. Mr. Klkint
t. was oseorted to tlio thoatro about 8
1 o'clock, and his unpoarnnco on tho stage
was tho signal for u burst of enthusiio
asm from iho monster asaomblago. The
;o doors hud scarcely boon oponod until
iu tho rush ot people illlod all the soata.
The stage hud on it portraits of Mclvinof
ley, Uluiuo and other famous stutea!?
men, aud a very distinguished colloctly
ion of citizens occupied seats there, flovd
eral prominent men from Ohio and
is neighboring towns on this side being
among tlusui. A number of ladies wore
m also on tho stage, and others scattered
-o through tho body of tho houso.
i- Mr. Klkina remarked aftor tho moety
big to an Intelliuenckr roportor that
it he had uover uddresoed n more atton}
tivo or satisfactory audience. Ho rei*
poatodly oxproflsed liia pleasure at the
character of his rocoption in Wheeling.

y: Chairman J. 1C Ilall, of tho county
a. committee, callod tho mooting to ordor
and named Captain William li. Travis
as chairman. Captain Travis was received
with applause. !io referrod to
tho predictions of the Democrats in tho
last campaign that if thoir partv was
triumphant good times would follow,
wool bring n higher prico, wn?ea Roup.

dition of everything be oxperiencod,
r. and then contrasted this roaoato
prophesy with tho gloomy condition of
the real facts, as they cxiot to-day. Ills
,l romarks provoked frequent applause,
b- which was renewod with osnecial heartiIC1
neas, and thrice repeated, when he ini)
troduccd the distinguished orator of the
o veiling.
Mr. Kikins mado his gratoful acknowl,0
odgmonts for tho warm recoption ac)0
cordod him. llo said ho always liked
|y to como to Whoeling, tho loading city of
tho state, llo complimented its con x
KArvativo ImniuesH methods, aud its
y solid prosperity, instanced by the fact
j. that with one exception aim had never
L, had a bank failure, ilo considered this
o the most serious campaign since the
war, and ho expocted and hoped to disa
cuss the issues involved in it in a frank
c and honost wny.
f, Whenovor ho came to Wheeling, he
j said, the Register took occasion to announce
the fact in odvanco with some
terms of disrespoct. The other day that
paper said something like thin:
t "Steve Klkins, the eminent freebooter
from New -Mexico, will bo here," etc.
lie said ho had not votod anvwhore
l* hut in West Virginia for soveral years,
is Ho had made his homo here, and ho
** HXI'ECTKD TO Liva AND DIB
hore in West Virginia. [Applause,]
;o Mo called his audience to witness that
when a Democratic Bpeakor carne hero
J the Kopublican journal did not abuse
him. ilo felt .that, while this was not
au important mattor, ho Bhould refor to
it briefly, and to theextont'ho had done,
resent it. Abuse is not argument.
" J his is not a campaign of fooling. It
)I is ono of questions of an economic charn
actor, and a friendly ono. Tho quostion
0 in whothor tho Republican principle of
j. protection, which wi\? in force over
J thirty yours, or Democratic freo trade,
* is best for tho country.
jj lie reviewed the increaso of population,
growth of manufactures, increase
U of wages and of savings under protection.
The savings increased in tho
thirty years of Republican rule twelvefold.
Tho cry of Clevoland and others
y that tho policy of protection made the
,, rich richer and tho poor pooror was not
u only untruo, but imposdihlo. When one
v. class grows richor all do so. In this
j country large fortunes have sometimes
been mado rapidly, and in a short time.
,j This is duo partly to our freo institu,j
In countries xvhero hucIi for^
tunes cannot be accumulated, tho rich
tl' grow pooror and tho poor aro ground
down to powder. The facts of past history
in this land answer tho claim of tb?
freo traders.
2- Of course ail tho prosperity of this
11 country is not duo to protection, but if
it it wan so ?nnr*??nivo and baneful it
