Lieutenant Geperal Sheridan in his annual report to the Secretary of War states that at the date of the last. consolidated returns the army consisted of/ 2,154, offiegrs and 24,705 men. Nothing has yet been done, he says, In the division of the Atlantic for the protection of our sea-board by the improvement, enlarge- ment of increase and armament of our fortifi- cations,so that many of’ our large cities are still at the mercy of the iron-clads of foreign nations in case of rupture of our relations, but it Is hoped that public sentiment will beiore long. prevail on Congress for liberal appropria- tions in this respect, ‘THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS, In regard to the disturbances in the division of the Missourl, Gen. Sheridan says that the sincerity of the leagers of the Oklahoma in- vaders, who undertook to take possession of certain lands in the Indian Territory, may well be doubted, but ther were bold in their move- ments und carried their scheme to the verge of bloodshed. The bellefexists that their inten- tion was not actual settlement but to call the attention of Congress to the opening up of the Indian Territory, and that money was sub- seribed for thelr purposes by interested corpora- tions. ‘THE INDIAN QUESTION. He hopes for an early settlement of the Apache difficulty in such manner as will for- ever prevent a recurrence of the raids of these Indians. The situation in that part of the division of the Pacific comprising the south- eastern portion of the department of Arizona has been far from satisfactory. So long as Gen. Crook had control of the Apaches matters went on very well In Arizona, but when contentions began under the divided authority that existed @ year ago, distrust and trouble arose among the Indians, and continued until the outbreak of the Chiricahuas in May last. The outbreak was petulant and without cause, and embraced only part of the tribe, but this element com- prised the young and’ most vigorous, These renegades, he says, should all be exterminated aptured,and ‘he has confidence in Gen, Crook's ability to accomplish this purpose. In rezard Indian question the report say: ant ofthe rapid growth of our western settlements, the army is obliged, in some places, to protect white people from "In- dians, while in other places it is protecting the Indians in their persons and property from the whites. The Indians are the richest people in this count as communities. Their reserva— tions include some of the best land, and it di- vided among the heads of families each family would have thousands of acres. IfI may be permitted to suggest, I would recommend that each family be given and located on the 320 acres now provided for them by law in ease of actual settlement. The government should then condemn ail the bylance of each reserva- tion, buy it in at $1.25 per acre, and with the proceeds purchase government —_ bond: to be held in trust by the Interior department, only giving to the Indians each year the inter- est on the bonds for their support. Let this money, if you please, be disbursed the same as the money appropriated each year by Congress. The practical working would be about as fol- lows: The Crow Indi wr instance, have nearly 4,800,000 acres of land. There are not more than 3,300 of them,and counting five per- sons toa fainily—a large estimate—they could be settled separately on 320 acres for each fam- ily and then have over 4,500,000. acres left, which the government could bay of them wher condemned, | If the proceeds were invested in government bonds and the interest used for their support, it would be more money than is now appropriated by Congress for their yearly maintenance. It would be their own money, and take the question of annual appropriations Yor them ont ofCongress, © * # & In this way the Indians would have perpetual security in the principal uatil Congress ‘chooses togive it to them to be used as they may see tit. The government would lose nothing, and the Indians would only be getting the value of their property safely invested. Indians are not poor; they are only incompetent at the present time to take care of their own property, and. therefore require looking after. The treatiék we have made with them might inter- fere with the condemnation and purchase of these lands by the government, but Congress could easily devise some ineans Of overcoming ‘this difticul tee it Gen. Sheridan does not agree with Gen. Miles recommendations regarding the Indian Terri- tory or in his confidence in the ability of the Indian to make himself selfsupporting in so short a time. “When a tribe becomes refractory or has worked itself into a state of open revolt, its temporary transfer to the control of the military for pu of discipline, as has re- cently been done with the Cheyennes and Ara- pahoes in the Indian Territory aid the Apa- ches in Arizona, will be found of benefit, but the permanent control of the Indians is not de- sired by the army at large.” RECOMMENDATIONS, He calls the attention of the Secretary of War to the admissibility of concentrating troopsand putting good large garrisons in the vicinigy of our large cities, He thinks the service would be greatly relieved if Congress conld retire the many disabled officers ready for the retired list, but for whom there are no vacancies. He holds that the status of the national guard or— ganizations of the states should be regulated by ageneral law of Congress, and the number ot officers and’ men fixed, “The general govern- ment could then issue them the best army end camp and garrison equipage, aud exact a re- sponsibility Srhich is not now required. Jn the ensuing season he intends t0, require increased attention tocompany skirmish firing, and to advance it to Its proper position, as the most practical and appropriate exercise tor the company in rifle shooting, to be pursued as soon as its individual members have been sufficiently instructed in practice at kuown distances, The discipline throughout the army he considers good, and recommends only the increase of the number of men in companies, and the addition of two majors to each regiment of infantry. NEED OF LEGISLATION BY CONGRESS DEFIN- ING THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MILITARY ADMINISTRATION. In regard to the important subject of the need of military legislation he quotes bodily from report of Gen, Schofield, whose views he most heartily endorses. “It 1s sometimes of supreme importance,” he says, “that the responsibilities of military administration and command be clearly defined by law. And it is important at times that the rules for the ne on of tle military service be establis! |, like other laws, by competent authority, after due consid- eration, and under all the ight which experi- ence can bring to the aidot the legislature. Regulations ins cateblieh and subject to change only by Congress, woul have such de- gree or stability as to become the basis of a sound military system, which, up to the present Ume, has not existed in this country. Although the regulations have ‘undergone changes almost without number, the most im- portant questions involved in ‘the command and government of the army, which have been the source of constant embartassment and the cause of much controversy for many years, re- main unsettled at the present time. No com- manding general, from the highest to the low- est, an chow the'extent or Limits of his uu- thority, and noone can have any staff responsi- ble to ‘him for the faithful execution of bis orders. ‘During thé tast twenty-five years the country has passed through three momentous cri wherein these ansettied questions were of vi importance to the nution, and their decision, be so fortunate for the country. Hence, white I present the necessity of a. rable increase ‘ot the army, I also &s astill greater necessity, that laws be es by Congi for the ‘government and regulation’ of military torces,” ee ____e@¢——______ ‘The House Rules.

Quevit, unconscious that she was in the building, went down to breakiast at nine o'clock, and when he returned to his room to get his hat she was concealed behind the door. As he en- tered the room she made an exclamation in French, and, stepping into the middle of the room, fired two shots in rapid succession at the young tailor.
