The report of the shot was not heard by any of the people in the building, and discov- ory was tho result of the merest chance. The porter attempted to open the door and found it blocked.

Fuller, the proprietor, and tho door w soon removed i‘rulu its hinges and entrance effected Wilhelm was found unconscious, but breathing hoavily.

D., Nov. 17.—[Special to Tue Bee.|--The incoming legislature will have a hard struggle on the prohibition ques- tion. The subject has to some extent been lost sight of in the excitement attending the senatorlal contest. A considerable number of the members of both houses were elected on that fssue, and it is belioved that a bill can be passed resubmitting the question of prohibition. A majority of the Red river val- ley member, the Stutsman delegation, most of the Missouri_slope members and & fow others scattered over the state are anti-pro- hibitionists and will supporta bill to resub- mit the question. The alliance and the democ- racy will clash on this point to some extent. Most of the farmers elected on_the 4th inst. are prohibitionists. Senator Kiuter of T Moure, a democratio leader, will not stand with his party on the liquor question. Most of the Indopendents will voto. for Tesubmis: sion. A careful estimate shows o majority of three in the senate and flve in_ the house in fayor of resubmission, The tetperance or- ganizations are already bringing out their forces for an active campaign at Bismarck. Tho battlo this winter wiil bo a decisivo. ono, as the legislature will not meet thereafter for two years. The prohibitionists admit that the license men caught them nappingin the recent election and almost, if not quife, cap- tured the legislature. —————— Result of Smith's Defalcation.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Secretary Proctor Makes His Report to the President. Wasmixaroy, Nov., 17.—[Special Telegram to' Tue Bee]—The report of Secretary of War Proctor to the president has been made public. It reviews the military situa- tion of the country and the legisiation of the present congress affecting tho army. This legislation has been unusually important and embraces provisions for lineal promotion and professional examinations therefor, acts for the prevention of desertion, for limitations of punishments under the articles of war and appropriations for additional machinery for the manufacture of large guns, and for the beginning)- & system of coast defenses, On the subject of coast defenses the secre- tary says: It has been our traditional policy from the first to avoid entangling alliances. We are soparated by an ocean from the pow- ers which maintain armies. The military re- sources of the nation have been S0 recently demonstrated and its net work of railways is 50 adapted to a rapid concentration of troops on any threatened point, that no hostile forco 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 probably that any large one will incur the risk. We have, vtherefore, little to fear from invasion, aud are free from the necessity of maintain- ing large standing armies or of fortifying against land attacks, Under the fortification act of last session position for forty-eight mortars in three groups of sixteen each, and for three of the Sow long-ranse guns will be prepared in New Youk harbor; for one group of mortars and one gun in Boston harbor, and for one group of mortars and two guns in San ' Francieco. As this is a matter in which make shifts from vear to year are both expensive and _destruc- iive of the object to be attained, I trust that a fixed policy may be adopted in the line of a reasonable yearly appropriation for the com- pletion of the work on which the nation is but just entering. The report shows that desertions from the army have decreased 24 per cent over a year ago. The secretary recommends that con- gress consider the “subject of three battalion formation for infantry. The pblication of the rebellion records is progressing favor- ably. Forty-five books have been published and distributed up to June 30, 1590, Tho policy of the department to concen- trate its troops at larger vosts as rapidly as tho requirements of the service would per- mit has been carried out during the year, and sixteen posts have been given up and the re- servations turned over to the department of the interlor, in order that they might be taken up by the people for private use. This has only been done, however, where it was felt that the presence of the troops in those particular localities was no louger necessary, and that fheir maintenance theve was mak- ing needless extra expense. The licenses of forty-two post traders have been revoked during the year, leaving only thirty-four traders at presént in he ser- vice, as the secretary believes it to be~ wise policy to discontinue this privileged class. Under the head of exploration of Aluska the secrelary says : 3 In order to obtain exact and trustworthy information concerning this territory I have approved roposition to organize thoroup hly equipped expedition to make & stematic exploration aud survey of Alaska. The duty will be trying and arduous at the best, butit will be cheerfully undertaken both by competent officers and by the men and with, in my opinion, a fair prospect of Jmportant results. I recommend that & suffi- cient appropriation be made by congress for carrying the plan into effect. e Cases Under Koch's Treatment, Brriiy, Nov, 17.—[Special Cablegram to Tue Bee|—Prof. Bergmann delivered a leoture last night at the Berlin Clinical hos- pital on thirtynine cases treated by him.
