The November number, now ready, contains: “CHATTANOOGA,” BY GEN. GRANT. the third paper of Gen.Grant’s personal memoirs of the war, describing, with great interest, the famous battle of Chattanooga. With it appears « full-page picture of Gen. Grant, from a photo- staph taken at Mt. McGregor, and the repro- duction of one of his letters to Dr. Dougias. THREE SHORT STORIES, “The Story of Seven Devils,” by Frank R. Stock- ton; “A Cloud on the Mountain,” by Mary Hallock Foote; “The Mystery of Wilhelm Rutter,” by Helen Jackson (H. H.) TWO IMPORTANT ESSAYS, “Danger Ahead,” a remarkably able and sug- gestive paper on socialism and the labor prob- lem, by Lyman Abbott; and an urticle on “The United Churehes of the United States,”—the latter to be followed by papers on church unity by representatives of various denominations, THREE ILLUSTRATED ARTICLES, “A Photographer's Visit to Petra,” with 18 pie tures; “Living English Sculptors,” by Ed- mund Gosse, 8 pictures; “Typical Dogs.—Set- ters,” by various experts, 7 pictures. “JOHN BODEWIN’S TESTIMONY, By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE.

McClellan has again broken up the President’s plans for the reorganization of the civilservicecommission. He had trusted that the general would accept the appointment through patriotic motives, and then the matter would have been settled and the advancement of the service assured. Now there are several names being considered, but it is not easy toget men of suitable ability to undertake the duties ot the office. The President has a very high idea of the importance of the commission and the part it Is to play in the organization of the government from this time forth, and ho will not be content to have any but men of conceded ability and fitness upon it. He would select for those positions such men as he would not think toosmail for his cabinet. It is quite probable that the chiet place on the commission will now be uffered to Judge Maynard, the present sec- ond controller of the Treasury. It would prob- ably have been offered to him in the first place but that the President feared that a proposition tomake achange might be misconstrued to imply dissatisfaction with the Judge in his pres ent place, which is far from being the case. ‘The President holds Judge Maynard in the highest esteem and it is believed would be delighted to have him at the head of the civil service com- mission. The judge bas sufficient private means tomake the dillerence in salary a question little to be considered, and itis believed that his desire to _pron.ote’ the civil service reform fheory, of which heisan ardent advocate, would “induce him accept appoinument, hdlds about the same views as to the dignity of the position as does the President, and sces in it a powertul institution in the organization of the government. There is much wo:k to be done for the advancement of che service, and he would probably undertake the task, ee. The Labor Bureau. REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT WRIGHT—WHAT HE HAS DONE $0 FAR, Mr. Carroll D. Wright, the superintendent of the labor bureau, makes a report to the Secre- tary of the Intertor of the operations of the bureau since its organization last spring. He states that he has endeavored to carry out the policy thatthe bureau should be disconnected from politics and from dependence on organt- zations, whether of workingmen or employers, and from the support of economic theories, in dividual views, or class interests. Between March 17 and June 27 twenty special agents were appointed to investigate the causes of in- dustrial depressions in this and other countries, and ut the close of the fiscal yeur fifteen of these agents were at work in thé United States and five in Europe. The resultof these investi- gations will be embodied in the first report of the bureau, which will be submitted early in the coming year. The appropriation jor the last fiseal year wus eras for Lhe expenses of the bureau, tnd nearly $9,000 was covered Into the Treas- ury. He however, thinks hat the uppropria- tion for the present year will not be sufficient. 5 the Pension Building Work. UAL REPORT OF GEN. MEIGS—A FURTHER APPROPRIATION NEEDED FOR OUTSIDE WORK AND DECORATION, Gen. M. C. Meigs, the supervising architect and engineer of the new Pension building, bas submitted to the Secretary of the Interior his annual report upon the construction of that building. He says that the building has been so far fitted that nearly all the offices and clerks of the Pension bureau now occupy the rooms. The exterior building is roofed and mostly plastered and completed. The galleries are teinporarily floored with wood. ‘The great central hail has been eovered with its fron and tiled rool, ‘There remains available for all pur- uses $69,240.87 of the appropriations hereto- fore made, which will complete the enclosure and covering of the hall and will single glaze the windows which light it. “It 1s probable,” he continues, “that some further grant of funds will be neeeded to erect the great gates, close the cellar windows and to plaster and decorate the hall walls and to lay down a permanent floor in the hall and in the gulleries on which wooden flooring does not long endure the wear Gi the ueuvy trae The buliding will be en- rely closed up and al eutlug apparatus in Action betore the advent of winter. oo At Work on the Annual Reports, THE CABINET OFFICERS AND THEIR BUREAU OFFICERS BUSY. All the cabinet officers are hard at work on their reports. They have not secluded them- selves from the public as the President has de- termined to do, but they devote as little time to petitioners as theycan getoffwith, As it nears the time for Congress to meet they will have still less time to give the public, Tne re- Ports of the various bureaus are coming in very rapidly now, and they have to be gone over very carefully before they are given out, for publication, " The reports in the Treasury de- partment that are ut ready nom —exeepe some additions or slight changes that may be made in the proof—are thoso of the Marine hospital service, the internal revenué bureau, ‘the bureau of statistics and the first and second controller's and treasurer's offices, ‘The report of the treasurer will be particularly interesting. as it will treat of the s{lver dollar in a way to show that {tis a very expensive currency, both = van Roveramseey ana 0 the ee b jorday Present many facts an the Bland dollar s bl ‘against Its a Work of the Grand Jury. INDICTMENTS FOUND AND CHARGERS IGNORED. THE ARMY AND ITS NEEDS. Report of Adjutant General Drum. DESERTIONS— MILITARY EDUCATION —PROMO- ‘TIONS—ENLISTMENTS—ETC. Adjutant General R.C. Drum in his annual report to the lteutenant general states that the number of enlisted men now in the service wno are drawing increased pay under the act of Con- gress of August 4, 1854, is 6,515; the number ‘of those who will become entitled to increased pay under the act of May 16, 1872, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1887, is 11,294, and the number of enlisted men in ser- vice wlsose torms will expire during the same fiscal year 1s 3,949. The report states that the number of desertions from the army during the past your has sensibly decreased, being 745 less nan the number stated in the last report. ‘The real and princtpal causes leading to the com- mission of this crime are summarized as fol- lows: General worthlessness; disappointment the realities of militgry life; uneasiness un- der its restraints, resultihg often in recklessness fromm an insufticiency of moral sense; inequality in awards of punishment and the contamina- tion of Young or inexperienced men by con- finement for minor offenses in the same room in the guard-nouse with hardened and reckless characters; and a lack of uniformity in com- pany administration. The great care and vigilance exacted of re- crulting officers in looking closely into the qualifications and fitness for service of all ap- pilcants for admission in the ranks of the army as been gradually but surely working out a te ad for the first cause stated, For the others the adjutant general is decidedly of opinion that the shortening of the first term of service from tive to three years; the adoption of a care- fully-digested code ot punishments for all mili- tary offenses; the establishment at each post of ‘8 light prison for the temporary confinement of minor offenders; and the authorization ofCon- gress for the purchase of discharge by men of poe. character, who, while entering the service in good faith, lick all the elements that tend to make @ good soldier, are measures which, if they do not prove an absolute remedy, will 're- duce desertion toa minimum.

Garnett from being present at the proceedings of the court, he said, had nothing to do with Mr. Garnett's previous reia- tions with the court, but was caused entirely by the publication of Mr. Garnett’s interview, in which he abused him personally and his management of the signal corps. “No man who talks that way about me,” said he, “can be Present at any proceedings over which I have control,”” DENIALS BY GEN, HAZEN, Areport is in circulation that Licut, Jas. Aj Swift, in command of Fert Myer when the complaint was made by the men aguinst the conduct of Licut. Greene, their instructor, Tecommended that that officer make an apolozy tothe men, and that when the news reached General Hazen he reprimanded Lieut. Switt tor bis course, and upheld Lieut. Greene by ordering a courtmartial of the men. ‘HE STAR reporter called General Hazen's attention to is re] He replied: “I never, for an instant, upheld Lieut. Greene in his use of abusive la ze. On the contrary, I repri- manded him for it” “And as to Lieut. Swift?” asked the reporter. He wus reprimanded too. His recommend: tion was thoroughly unmilitary, and could not be entertained. You can punish an officer, or ou ean shoot him, but you cannot humble him in the eyes of his men, that would en- trely destroy his usefalness.”” THE OFFICIAL PAPERS IN THE CASE will show you just what was done,” said Gen} Hazen, ringing his bell and calling for the Papers in question.” They were as foilows: “OcTORER 22nd, 1885. Lieut. Frank Greene. U. 8. Signal Corps: Referring to communication of October 15th, from, Private Frank L. Harrod and others, praoe jeaginnd of certain abusive and profane language used by you at drill on the morning of the 15th instant, and to a endorsement thereon, in which you admit the fact, bot recite certain circumstances in justification, the chief signal officer directs me to call your attention to para- graph 3, of the army regulations, the imperative pro- visions of which, it appears, have been violated by. ‘ou. ‘The chief signal officer directs me to may. that from his knowledge of your many soldierly qualities he is certain Uthat this le ter ts all that will be required to parted in an army school should be largely of a military character; attendance thereat should form partof the inilitary duties of a soldier, an theretore, compulsory; teachers, for obvi- reasons, should not form part of the com- pany organization, must be specially fitted for their important position, and their selection should depend not only on the amount of requisite Knowledge they but because they have the somewhat rare gift—capacity to impart it, On the subject of PROMOTION TO THE RANK OF FIELD OFFICER, the adjutant general says that the present sys tem which requires that a vacancy in any one regiment of the line shall be filled by the pro. motion of the senior officer of the lower grade, and the officer promoted be co:nmissioned in ‘the particular regiment in which the vacancy exists, is open to grave objections. It happens sometimes that during the permanent absence of the colonel of a regiment through sickness or other cause, when the command, of necessity, devolves on either of the other ‘field officers, the latter lack the elements required for the successful discharge of the duties of a regi- mental commander, and in such @ case the regi- ment, no matter how zealous and efficient the company commanders may be, suffers loss in. discipline and high tone, To remedy this evil, so destructive and far-reaching in its con- sequences, Gen. Drum suggests & change in the method of promotion to the rank of field officer. On the happening of a vacancy the offi- cer entitled to promotion should be commis- sloned as “major of infantry,” “lieutenant-col- onel of artillery, -., as the case may be,instead of, as at present, “major of the — regiment of infantry,” &c. The effect of the proposed change will be to euable the tieutenant general. ofthe army to assign officers of the line to the particular regiment of the same arm in which their services may be of the greatest benefit, looking to the highest efficieucy of the regi: ment, ‘This, itis belleved, would eradicate an evil which at any time muy, through disgust or dispair, threaten the demoralization of a regi- ment otherwise possessed of material able and willing to sustain its reputation. ENLISTMENT AND RECRUITING. Throughout fhe year the number of appli- cants for enlistment was large, and during the greater part of the time recruiting officers had Instructions to select from those presenting themselves only the very bext men for accept- ance andenlistment. It became necessary, for a short time, to confine recruiting almost en- Urely to re-enlistments of soldiers with good records, lest the legal strength of the army should be exceeded, 7 ‘The total number of enlistmentsand re-enlist- ments in the army (exclusive of the signal corps), during the year was 8,367. OI the 7164 accepted recruits 4,222 were’ native born, and 2,042 of foreign birth; 6,587 were white and 547 colored; 19,059 applicants were rejected by recruiting officers’ on wccount of mental or physical disqualifications, Since December, 1884, the plan has been fol- lowed of retaining all néwly-enlisted recruits of the general and mounted services at the gene- ral depots tor four monts before assignment to regiments, that they may be instructed thor- oughly in military duties. This course has already been productive of the best results. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AT THE DEPOTS, General Drum recommends that application be made to Congress for authority to appoint from the enlisted men one sergeant major, one chief musician and four first sergeants at each of the three general recruiting depots. The du- ties of these non-commissioned officers at depots are more arduous than those usualls performed by the sergeant. majors and_prinel- pal musicians of regiments and the first ser- geants of companies, Under the present nization of the depots these responsible posi- tons are filled by enlisted men detailed wo act in the capacities named, but without the pay that should attach to the ‘positions. It is earn- estly hoped tuat this important subject will re- ceive the early and favorable consideration of Congress. MESSING. The report advocates the establishment of a depot mess at each of the three general depots of the recruiting service, supplying all enlisted men at the depot with the same food and at the same time, The recruits, during their short stay at the depot, cannot be expected to be per- fecied in thelr training, and itis not o that all should receive & perfunctory education in cooking and messing while there are so man: other important duties tobe learned. To eac! Mess one cook should be Se lcned. as chief, re- ceiving mechanics’ extra duty Bey, one assistant cook for every one hun men to receive laborers’ extra duty pay, the number of assistant cooks in no instance to exceed three. It is certainthat 100 or more men can live better on the army ration than ‘a lesser number, because this is one of the principles which governed in apportioning the amount of each of the component parts of the ration.

Wear, the superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, in his annual re- port to the Secretary of the Interior, states that he assumed charge on the Ist of July last and found the stock belonging to the government in a worn-out condition. “The discipline of the foree had no head to anything. * * * The game in the park had been shot with impunity and marketed at the hotels without any inter- ference on the part of the officer whose sworn duty it was to protect and prevent its destruc- tion.” The superintendent goes on to say that the worst of the “skin hunters” have been ar- rested, and he has succeeded in a measure in breaking up the wholesale slaughter of the game that has been going on for years.

This expenditure has amounted to $15,000. By this new road, the Lake of the Woods country is avoided and the Green Creek mountain gone around.

Special Dispatch to THK EVENING Stan. RICHMOND, VA., October 30.—The situation is growing old and the day of election drawing nigh, it would therefore seem about time that the varying estimates, the changing figures, the kaleidoscope views and fine spun .theories which in certain quarters have characterized this campaign should be laid aside and the pub- lic allowed a glance at a few of the unalterable figures on which to make a calculation of their own. Assuming that the vote of Gen. Lee will be well up to that of Cleveland last year, when the latter's majority was about seven thousand, it follows that the republican state ticket will need the entire vote of Blaine and eight thousand in addition to give their candidates one thousand majority. The vote of Blaine was astonishingly heavy. Though deeply disappointed atChicago over the defeat of Arthur, Mahone, command- ing the great body of the party in the state, promptly opened the fight for the man whose Bomination ne had so bitterly opposed. The few straggling republicans who had always op- posed his leadership were delighted with the result at Chicago. The national committee in New York asked Mahone to recognize them on. his electoral ticket. He did it. There was not only enthusiasm, but union for Blaine. There were cast and counted for the republican electoral ticket one hundred and forty thousand votes. ‘This is a Vote forty-five thousand larger than Grant received when h carried the state against Greeley, and about forty thousand larger than the blicans threw for Judge Hughes, the last regular repub- lican candidate of the party for governor, until the present time, and nearly twenty thousand in excess of the Vote cast for Gov. Cameron four years ago, when he ran as the nominee of the | then reudjuster party, indorsed and supported by all save a very stall fragment of republi- cans. This vote tor Mr. Blaine, let it be under- stood, includes a full negro vote in a presidential year, when the rale in this state is that they vote freely and are counted fairly. Indeed, they have not, often been asked to vole the democratic ticket for President in this state. Now, then, can the republican vote on Tuesday next be expected to reach the requirement which for the mo- ment let it be said is demanded? Certainly not. It will fall short 20,000, probably more. Then it is deteated, is it? No; hot _mecessuril, for itis bgt sag? Known what iuroads, if an; have been made on the extraordinarily heavy vote for Mr. Cleveland last year, Gen. Lee stands credited with that vote. He will not get it, but how much he will lack remains’ to be seen. Gen. Lee will get a negro vote, however, that Mr. Cleveland dia not. Some negroes who voted for Blaine will be kept from the polis, others who voted for him will vote the democratic ticket, Wise, it seems conceded,. will run ahead of the Blaine vote, both in the valley and southwest, and unless Lee shall also run ahead of the Cleve- land vote in those sections Wise will be gainer there, Then Wise is to be credited with what ever damaging effect the exceedingly hard times prevailing all over the state, expecially severe in taose particular sections, have done to the democratic party. He is to be credited, too, with whatever may be brought to ‘bim from the disappointments of the land ad- ininistration, And he is uj to be allowed something on jiwoussion he and bis party have forced on the democrats over the tariff, public schools, Blair educational bill, extravagance, partisanry. and unpopular. ity of the last democratic 1 ture, &c., &c. Finally there must be placed. in his favor the fact that never betore was such a complete or- ganization of his party Known, and hever so generously supplied with the sinews of war. ee TO-DAY'S CONFERENCE.
