POINTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE src- BETARY OF WAR—WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR COAST PROTECTION—ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS WEEDED—MODERN INVENTIONS, Secretary Proctor has several very interest- ing things to say in his second annual report to the President, just submitted. As to the de- fense of our national coast line he says: It hag been our traditional policy from the first to avoid entangling alliances. We are separated by an ocean from the powers which maintaim great armies. The military resources of the nation have been so recently demon- strated and its net-work of railways is so adapted to a rapid concentration of troops on any threatened point, that no hostile force is likely to seek an encounter with us on our own soil, A small army sent upon our shores could not hope for success; it is not probable that any large one will incur the risk. We have, therefore, little to fear from inva- sion, and are free from the _neces- sity’ of maintaining large standing ar- mies or of fortifying against land attacks. But our long coast line is peculiarly exposed town attack from the sea. So long as an enemy can reach vulnerable points without ex- ing himself to our land forces he muy iu Kict blows which wo sre unable to parry and which may cause losses ill to be endured. No great civilized nation today has moro just cause than ours to look well to the condition of its const defenses, and none, since the civil war, has so wholly neglected them. It is a matter of congratulation that this national de- ficiency is begimning to excite the attention it merits, especially as time, even more than money, is necessary for its proper preparation. MODERN INVENTIONS FOR COAST PROTECTION. Modern inventions in the use of electricity, high explosives and in rifled mortars have re- sulted strongly in favor of the comparative resisting strength of land fortificationsas against a naval force. They cannot be blown up by dynamite nor sunk by vertical fire. They can support any weight of armament, and can pro- tect themselves by any weight of earth or stono or iron. For accurate aim they have the solid earth for a foundation. They also have the co-operative aid of our own navy, of torpedoes end submarine mines and other accessory means of defense. When our principal cities, our harbors and navy yards are thus protected then our coasts will be safe, and our navy and our increasing commerce will have safe ports of refuge, where they can be repaired, re- coaled and retitted. The efficiency of land de- fenses is no experiment. It was the former wise policy of the government, previous to the civil war, to maintain coast fortitications en- tirely competent to resist the vessels of war of that period. They are the cheapest to build, they are thecheapest to maintain, they are always in position and ready for service. A modern land battery when once constructed and armed needs few repairs and no renewals. Outlays for coast defense are investments which yield large interest in the form of insurance, With little deterioration to principal, ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS NECESSARY, Under the fortification act of last session Positions for forty-eight mortars in threo groups of sixteen each, and for three of the new Teng-rmngs guns will be prepared in New York harbor, for one group of mortars and one gun in Boston harbor, and for one group of Mortars and two guns in San Fraucisco. As this is a matter in which make-shifts from year to year are both expensive and destructive of the object to be attained, I trust that « fixed policy may be adopted in the line of a reasun- able yearly appropriation for the completion of the work ou which the natior is but just en- tering. With such a policy manu cturers could safely put in the necessary plants and be able to furnish material at a cheaper rate. With an annual appropciation of $8,000,000 to $10,000,000—only a little more than that of the present year—the construction and emplace- ment of guns and mortacs, works of torpedo defense, for the whole coast, can be carried on, and in ten years our principal harbors and cities rendered reasonably secure. THE MAKING OF BIG GUNS. Apropos of these remarks isa section de- Yoted tothe matter of ordnance, in which be says: “In the matter of armament a fair and promis- ing beginning has been made. ‘The gun factory at Watervliet arsenal has already turned out completed steel guns of 3.2, 3.6, Sand 10 inches caliber, which have been entirely satisfactory so far as their tests have proceeded. The 3.3- inch breech-loading field gun meets with gen- eral approval in service and the firing tests of the 8 and 10-inch type guns manufactured at Watervliet have given excellent results, both a MONTGOMERY COUNTY NEWS. cratic Jubilee—Shooting Affair. of Tax EvEstne Stan Bocxvitie, Nov.

As this is the only place in the board where avy pay is received the difficulty will probably be avoided by the appointment of Mr. Warner as mayor and Mr. Laird ase member of the council. The subject of elect- ing a new bailiff for_the town in place of the present incumbent, Mr. Frank Thompson, was discussed, and he w: ven until next Wednes- day evening to file hie resignation, when a new bailiff will be appointed. Mr. Thompson is very popular with the council and citizens, and the only objection to him lies in the fact that he 1s not a resident of the town, but lives come distance in the country and cannot attend to keeping order in town during the night It is understood that there are several appli- cant for the place. ‘The democratic jubilee at Potomac last night was well attended and was addressed by Col. Wm. Kilgour and Spencer C. Jones, clerk of the court of appeals. Mnsic for the occasion was furnished by the colored brass band of this place, and the display of fireworks and torches was very fine. A number of the resi- dences of the place were brilliantly illuminated and after the speechmaking was concluded a handsome lunch was provided for all at the residence of Mr. Philip Stone. An amusing feature of the closing hours of the affair was ab impromptu speech on the tariff by Uncle Sandy Book, an ancient colored man of this lace. . M:.

KOCH SUPPORTED. Interest Throughout the World in His Recent Discovery. ° Worid-wide interest has been created in the eure which Prof. Koch of Germany claims he has found for consumption, The discoverer and other medical men who are known to be engaged in treating patients by the new method are swamped with letters and applications from all countries, Prominent cures of consumption are still in progress, In order to meet the pressure of cases an- other hospital is about to bo established in the Alexander Platz, Berlin, where the Hotel Ger- mania is being transformed into wards, having 150 beds for consumptives, The secret of the composition of the lymph has been communicated to Profs, Bergmann, Fraentzel, Brieger, Levy and other intimates of Prof. Koch here; ibe to Prof. Weigert of Frankfort, Dr. Rast, chief of the Han Hospital and Prof. Nothni University. The latter says the discovery has a far wider scope than Jenner's and is perhaps the grandest feat in the bistory of medical science. mais The only skeptical criticisms of Koch's dis- covery come from French medical men. _ Prof. Koch is receiving communications from American medical men regarding the method of distributing the lymph. A large number of foreign doctors went yes- terday morning to Dr. Levy's private labora- tory in Prentzlauer strasse, where Dr, Levy exhibited a number of patients cured of tuber- eulosis. The Boersen Courier states that there are 1,500 foreign doctors already in Berlin, ‘The supply of Prof. Koch's lymph has been temporarily exhausted. Prof. Koch has sug- gested that the remedy be called “paratoloid” in prescriptions to be handed to chemists. It is stated that a bill will be presented to the German reichstag to grant 1,000,000 marks to Prof. Koch. ‘The University of Pennsylvania has sent Dr. eras to Berlin to look into the Koch con- mption cure. WHAT HIS BROTHER sAYe. Prof. Koch has a brother living in St. Louis, who says: ‘Robert is the third of thirteen chil- dren, the first nine of whom were boys. While the rest of us spent our time fishing and hunting Robert devoted his hours to study and observa- tions. One of his favorite pastimes was to study lichens and mosses under the microscope. At seventeen he had completed his course in the High School of Clansthal, Hanover, but was unable to enter the University of Gotten- en until he was eighteen. At the university fe'wrote a prize eseay in his second yeur, taking it away from hundreds of students. His course as a physician at Posen, where he first began the study of bacteria, the service during Gi as regards accuracy and range, and have satis- factorily demonstrated the capability of the gun factory to turn out modern high-power Titled steel guns equal to the very best, “Under the present contract about thirteen 12-inch cast-iron mortars hooped with steel can be furnished per annum, and as there are other piants in the country besides that of the preseat contractors which are capable of turn- Ing out these mortars, it is only necessary that sutticient sums be appropriated for the manu- facture of about fifty mortars a yeur, and the production of mortars will keep pace with that of guns and the construction of emplacements. No fear ueed bo entertained that the plant for this work wili not be in existence when needed. ‘The art of modern gun making is now well in- sugurated in this country. The carriages for the 8 and 10-inch guns will be of the disappear- ing type. Several designs of this type are now Under manufacture or consideration. The 12- inch guns will be mounted on platforms which Wiil be raised in position for firing by an ele- vator, and then lowered out of reach of the enemy's fice to be reloaded and aimed, ex- cept where the position is at such an elevation as to make this unnecessary for the protection of the gunners, A design for such a platform and elevator has been approved, and one is now under construction. ‘ihe 16-inch guns, if any are made, will doubtless be mouuted in turrets.” OUR UNPROTECTED NORTHERN FRONTIER. Ima natural sequence of ideas came hia ob- servations as to the unprotected northern fron- tier, to which the press bas frequently pointed &® finger of warning: ‘By our agreement of 1817 with Great Brit- ain each party is restricted toa single armed vessel on Lakes Ontario and Champlain and two on the upper lakes. Since then the great west has become an empire of production and population, with its great cities, centers of | rice on the free list, reducing the duty on sugai ‘wealth, commerce and transportation, built on | providing for the the straight shores of the broad lakes and de- | fenseievs against naval attack. The Welland canal and the six canals along the St. Lawrence between Lake Ontario and Montreal bave been constructed and are wholly in toreign territory. The smallest of the St. Lawrence canals have 9 feet depth of water and locks 200 feet long and 45 feet wide, sufficient for the passago of over fifty of the armed vessels of the British Bavy. Measures have already been com- menced to enlarge the smaller canals so that pone will have less than 14 feet depth of water, which would admit the passage of as many more of a heavier armament. One of these canals, the Beauharnois, 11% miles long, is wholly on the right (south) bank of the St. Lawrence. Another is within riflc-shot of islands belonging to us. The board of iortifi- cations and other defenses under the act of March 8, 1835, composed of army and navy officers and of civilians, of which my predecessor was president, made a full and very able report in regard to this situation, and recommended considerable works of defense for the lake ports. PROTECTION OF THE LAKE crTiEs. “In the absence of any preparation on our part the lake cities might, in the event of war with the power holding the highway of the St. Lawrence, be ina more defenseless condition even than the seaboard cities. although we cannot, under the agreement, build armed ves- sels on the lakes to overmatch on those waters the force that might be brought against us, I the French-Prussian war, bis investigation and establishment of the cholera germ, are all mat- ters of record.” Mr. Koch bears a striking resemblance to bis distinguished brother. —————e-____. Foreigu Topics. A bitter persecution of Roman Catholics is raging in the western provinces of Russia, The government of Kioff has ordered that no new Roman Catholic churches shall be built. Five hundred London dockers, members of the Dockers’ Union, have refused to work at unloading the White Star line steamer Ger- tmanic, from New York. ‘There is a remarkable exodus of consump- tives from the resorts on the shores of the Med- iterranean to Berlin, and the hotels are filling fast with such persons. A large number of American physicians have also given notice of their intention to be present on the occasion of Dr, Koch's lecture on November 26, The Medical Society of Vienna has elected Prof. Koch an honorary member. Mr. John D. Delilie, the American consul at Bristol, died yesterday.

Thirty persons were killed and forty injured by the derailing of a train in Turkey Saturday. The Turkish government has sent 3,000 troops to Tripoli and is increasing the armaments of the forts, the precautions being due to fear concerning the designs of Italy upon Tripoli.

The Bank of England, or, to use the British — “The Bank,” is to all other‘and ence minor concerns what a father is to aon; in that in case of danger a loan would be made to tide the infant over the difficulty, 8 very severe disease to shake such a powerful “infant” as the Barings. The trouble seemed to be @ too heavy indulgence in a fancy for South American loans, as well as a taste for American railroad stock, The Argentine con- federation has drawn from this source more than once. The Barings were until quite lately the government agents in England, but a change was made toa number of other firms, notably Morton, Bliss & Co, and the Seligmans, Their agents in this country are Kidder, Pea- body & Co. : TRE CAREER OF THE HOUSE. The Baring family is of German origin. Their founder in England was a Bremen pas- tor, who settled in that country. The money of the family was originally made in the rich. | core clothing business of the west of gland, It has been the rule in the house that wien any one of them has gota title he goes out of the business. Sir Francis Baring, the first great banker, who, dying in 1810, left a fortune of two mil- lions, had three sons—Thomas, Alexander and Henry. Thomas, succeeding to tho baronetcy, gave up the business, Henry had rather a romantic reputation asa lucky gambler. The reputation was hardly suited to the intense re- spectability of the firm, and Mr. Henry was in- duced to retire from the business, Alexander Baring, oftener known as “Alex- ander the Great,” sustained and extended the fortunes of the house. He came to America, and hero the richest banker in England mar- ried Miss Bingham of Philadelphia, whose father was at the time reputed to be the rich- est man in the United States, “There are six great powers in Europe,” said the Duc de Richelieu, “England, Fran Russia, Austria, Prussia and Baring Brothers. In 1835 he was made Lord Ashburton, and in 1844 became minister to the United States. It was he who negotiated the famous treaty with Daniel Webster, while the latter was Secretary of State. Two of his sons held the title, and each successively retired from the business. The head of the firm, Thomas Baring, refused the office of chancellor of the exchequer in Lord Melbourne’s ministry, and another mem- ber, Lord Northbrook, has been governor gen- eral of India. In 1885 still another member of the firm— Mr. Edward Charles Baring—was ennobled, and now sits in the house of lords as Baron Revelstoke. ‘Two of the most celebrated mem- bers of the firm have been Americans by birth, There were Joshua Bates and Russell Sturgis. The latter, who retired from the firm in Jan- uary, 1883, died in 1837. THE PRESENT EMBARRASSMENT. The Baring Bros.’ embarrassment was due to the action of the Russian government, .which, alarmed by the financial troubles in the Argeu- tine Republic during the summer, suddenly withdrew from the Barings £2,500.000 just as it withdrew 41,000,000 from the ‘Comptoir d’Es- compte in the spring of 1899, its action at that time resulting in the suicide of the manager of that institution and the collapse of the copper ring. Except the rise in the bank rate to five no trouble occurred, and the £2.500,000 was quietly transferred to Berlin, After this things apparently regained their former smoothness. ‘The governor of the Bank of England acted with exceeding discretion, keeping everything as secret as possible in order to avoid @ panic, Tho Barings offered to sacrifice everything, but the unavoidable delay in realizing would have been almost equivalent to an actual collapse, and for this reason it was decided to raise a guarantee fund. ‘The urrangement for assisting the Barings was finally concluded at a meeting at the Bank of England on Saturday morning. The personal property of the members of the firm amounts to over £1,000.000. It is rumored that Russia’s agent in Paris withdrew recently two anda half million pounds on a rumor that the Bar- ings had stopped payment. The latter's assets include £7,000,000 of the finest paper in the world. It is believed that three years will be ample time to bring the firm’s affairs to a sub- stantial position, ——--—ce0—____ A Mother’s Murderously Insane Act.

Tke chief topic of discussion in political cir- cles in London is the O’Shea-Parnell case and its remarkable denonement. The general be- lief is that Mr. Parnell will retire from active public life foratime at least and that Mr. Dillon will take the leadership of the Irish | eabienrertertd party. Mr. Gladstone, it is al- leged, would prefer to deal with some one as the head of the home rulers whose private character is not a Lt oe of unfavorable a gossip, and it is also declared that the irish Catholic priests will demand that the leader of their people shall be # morally clean man, There will probably be no occasion for any controversy over this point, as Mr. Parnell has himself taken the initiative, according to trustworthy advices, toward effecting the sug- gested change of leadership, . sor Minister Lincolu’s Plans.

In point of fact ® may be truthfully said thet it is without as equal in this respect any where in the worlé ‘These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the ‘worn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the yoar 1889, published in Tax Stas on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the pointe upon which the ebove claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circt- Jation of any other paper in Washing-= foal 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing~ ton is double that of all the other dally papers published im the city added te gether!! 3.

In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper Attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION I 18R5-86-87-88-R 1SS3. 1886. 1887. 18N8, See, @AN,..20,456 23,388 23,470 96,356 27,541 Fss...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 Arn...22,572 24,227 23,575 27,166 29,852 MAY. .22,474 24,359 25,742 96,722 29,611 | JONR..21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 SULY..21,406 23,186 24,570 26,363 29,650 AUG...21,445 22,364 24.859 25,521 28,593 SErT..21,033 22,302 24,905 23,524 25,478 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,807 23,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,651 23,607 25.514 31,053 DEC...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,484 27,082 30,098 Increase ....... 1,559 1,803 1,598 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 80,090 copies circulated daily, no more them 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban plades, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation 1m the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, | 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub ecribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ant by newsboys. But of this latter pumber a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgingy &c.

It isa well established fact, demonstrated te the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: XUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED 1887. 3,615, 3,947 4,669 3,478 5,395, 4,522 3,388 3170 TREREER EGOS AGURGERREG ED increase of advertising is shown, The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that eccupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertice ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns ‘etc., such as cocasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {fm proportion to the extent and high charactss of ite circulstion, Tax Sran's edvertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herets made can be abundantly verified THE CID CULATION OF THE PAPER Is SWORN TQ) 1TS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS s
