4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1896. OPERKTIONS OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT Secretary Lamont's Reports Show an Increased Expenditure. During the Past Y-ar the Fx- penses Aggregated Just $52,000,000. Important Work of Constructing Needed Coast Defenses Goes Actively On. WASHINGTON, D, C., Nov. 26.—Secre- tary Lamont’s report of the operatious of “the War Department for 1896 shows total expenditures aggregating nearly $52.- 000,000, and an unexpended balance of nearly $2,000,000 turned back into the treasury at the end of the fiscal year. For the three vears of Colonel Lamont’s ad- ministration the surplus has amounted to more than $5,000,000. On the 1st of July, 1893, of our modern defense but one high-power gun was mounted. By the 1st of July next we will have in position seventy high-power breech-loading guns =&nd ninety-five breech-loading mortars of modern design, and by the following July, on completion of work already under way or provided for, 128 guns and 158 mortars. The bat- tery of two or three of these guns takes the place of tie former pretentious fort and is vastly more effective. An 8-inch gun weighs 141< tons, is 231¢ feet long, re- quires & powder charge of 125 pounds and throws a projectile weighing 300 pounds about nine miles. A I10-inch gun weighs 30 tons, is 30}¢ feet long, requires a pow- der charge of 250 pounds and throws a projectile of 585 pounds about twelve miles. A 12anch gun weighs 57 tons, is 40 feet long, requires a powder charge of 520 pounds and throws a 1000- pound projectile thirteen miles. A 12-inch mortar weighs 29,120 pounds, is 13 feet long, requires a powder charge of 105 pounds and throws a filled projectile welighing 800 pounds over five miles. The defenses now under consideration are distributed among the ports of Port. Jand, Me., Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, Narragansett Bay, eastern entrance to Long island Sound, easiern and southern entrances to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Hampton Roads, Wilmingten, Charlesion, S8avannab, Key West, Pensacols, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, San Diego, San Francisco, the mouth of the Columbia River ana Puget | | DFSTRUCTION OF A PEORIA HOTEL. Sound. All of the emplacements have been located with a view to carrying on the project of the Endicott board of for- tifications, organized under the act of Congress of March 3, 188, ss revised by the permanent Board of Engineers. Tke total amount .appropriated for sea- coast defenses, including cost of sites, for- tifications and armament, since the adop- tion of the present scheme is $25.457.000, of which mor- than one-third was carried by the act passed at the last session of Congress. Before the end of the present year we shall have eleven 12-irnch, forty-two 10- inch, eight S-inch, six rapid-fire guns and 112 mortar empiacements. By next July there should be completed fourteen 12-inch, forty-six 10-inch, ten 8- inch and twelve rapid-fire guns and 112 mortar emplacements. And by the close of the coming year this will be increased 10 twenty-one 12-inch, sixty-six 10-inch, twenty-five 8-inch and sixteen rapid-fire guns and 156 mortar erpiacements. In the belief that the problem of satis- factory dissppearing gun -carriages has been solved, the Appropriations Commit- tee wasinformed at the previous session of the present Congressthat this department roposed to spend no more n:oney for gun- ift batteries, thus saving $20,000,000. The construction of the carriages :n as large numbers as the appropriation would ad- mit was immediately undertaken both at the Government carriage-factory at Water- town Arsenal and under contract. A still more difficult problem was the designing of a disappearing ali-around-fire carriage for the 12-inch breech-loading rifle. How difficult a problem it is will appear when it is noted that such a carriage must en- dure without breaking or straining any of its parts the tremendous shock due to the ballistic force necessary to propel a 1000- vpound projectile at a velocity of 2100 feet per second, lowering its 52-ton gun jor a distance of nearly eight feet tosecure posi- tion for loading and returning it to its firing position, and that it must do this rapldly, certainly and easily, and by mechanism not lisble to get ontof order and only to beoperated by the average soldier. The technical difficulties involvea may perhaps be better appreciated when it 1s considered that a similar case would be that of a filty-ton locomotive and running at a speed of twenty hour, which is required to be brougit 1o a full stop from this speea witbin a distance of sixteen feet or one-third of its lensih, yet so easily and gently that at the end of ;bo motion there shali not be the slightest ar. Both these problems, it is believed, have been satisfaciorily soived. One twelve- inch ail-around traverse disappearing car- risge is now under construction, and eight or ten such carriages of simiar design are about to be contracted. Secretary Lamont says bis jredecessors in office at the head of the War Depart- ment had during many years the ditficult task of arousing the public mind w0 a realization of the National difficalties in the matter of coast defense. The interest which Las been awakened has grown deeper each successive Congress and appropriations for thy accompiishment of the adopted scheme have become more liberal. Therefore in submitting the estimates for another year he feels that it is no longer necessary to repeat the arguments that have been reiterated so many times. ‘While earnestly inviting attention to the great work that yet remains to be done it 1s also bis fortune to nave the more grate- ful duty of exhibiting the important results that have been actually accom- plished, as well as the splendid progress which is now being made toward early completion of the work The armament of troops with the new magazine arm was completed in May and the armory is turning oui 125 rifles or car- bines per day under the appropriation made last year. Allthe ammunition for small arms made are supplied with smoke- less powder of American manuiactureand of a superior quality. ¥ ) The total expenditure for river and har- bor improvements ordered by Congress during the year ending June 30, 1896, in- cluding those of ti.e Mississippi and Mis- souri River Commissions was $17,039.000. Including tte amounts appropriated by }ho act of g:mo 8, 1896, there was available or expenditure for rivers and harbors July 1, §26,020,000. The Mississippi River Commission has decided to d&eo'nmme toe plan to improv- the river by bank pro- tection and to adopt the plan of dredging cl;l::nsele in I:I’O:l pl‘wa- and masintaining W tate and local co-o 7 o ""'v“::'{m’ ;ystem. peration, an ex- u is change of polic; e believe the function ol’t?n {m‘:&:;";y. ended, and the work should be turned over to the Secretary of War. Ason water has yet been drawn for use in the Chicago drainage cgnal, no further facts ean be given as to the probable effect of abstracting 10,000 cubic feet of water per second from Lake Michigan., The impor- tance of inaugurating a series of observa- tions and gaugings which will provide re- liable data covering the lake levels and the probable effect of the Chicago drain- age canal and the deepening of connecting channels is again urged upon Congress. The army .consists of 25,246 officers and men, or 284 below the legal maximum. | The effective field strength on October 31 was 23 382, The completion already of some coast defenses and the anproaching completion of other modern batteries render neces- sary a larger force of artillerists, but no other increase of the army 1s ssked for. The plan of State coast defense involves 100 distinect® batteries in over twenty | barbors, and a force must gradually be supplied to take care of guns and fortifica- tions as they are completed and maintain them in a state of excellent aefense. Secretary Lamont says in closing his last annual report: “I bave satisfaction in placing on record my high appreciation of the character, ability and zeal of the officers of our army and the general spirit of loyalty and patriotic_inspiration which pervades 1its ranks. To these officers and men and to the heads of departments in the War Office, all of whom have given faithful support to the administration, this de- partment makes the acknowledgment which is their due.’* BERING SEA SEAL QUESTION. It Is Not at All Considered Settled by This Government and a Further Con- vention Must Be Secured. WASHINGTON, D. O, Nov. 26.—An indication that the Bering Sea sesl ques- tion is not at all considered settied by this Government and that some further convention must be secured with Great Britain to supplement the insufficient regulations of the Paris tribunal is shown | from the publication of a report on the subject made by Commander Brice of the navy from observations made two years | ago. Commander Brice finds that the preservation of the Alaskan fur seal un- der existing conditions and regulations resis on the very slender contingency of the prevalence of tempestuous waves dur- | ing the month of August. Two or three weeks of good weather at this time by permitting the sealers to operate without interruption outside the sixty mile stone and on the feeding grounds of the seals means the ultimate and rapid destruction | of ‘the seal herd on the Pribyloff Islands. 1n canclusion he writes: “The Bering Sea Commission offers the following definite alternatives of settle- Aneiks irst, shall the United States Govern- ment_effectually and forever terminate | this international dispute by absolutely ann‘hilating the Alaskan seal herd as the animals arrive on_the seal islands, or, second, shail the United States permit the pelagic poachers of British Columbia to destroy the seals on the way to the rookeries, and thus uitimately destroy the le, itimate industry of killing selected seals on_the islands ¥ or third, will the I British Government enact laws to protect an industry which is not generally con- ceded in America to have at the outsiae greater commercial iuterest to Great | Britain than us?” e e here Was Great Consternation Among the Guests, bui They Were Ail | Rescued. i PEORIA, ILn, Nov. 2.—Fire, which started near the roof at 9:30 this evening, totally destroyed the Peoria House, caus- ing 8 loss of $20,000. An unknown man was rescued from one of the rooms in an u nconscious condition, due to smoke. Immediately the alarm was given tothe guests a panic ensued, and for a time 1t seemed impossible 10 avoid great loss of | life, but through the effortsof the Fire De- | vartment and aided by the citizens this | was avoided, and as the flames worked their way siowly throughout the entire roof everybody in the building was re- | moved 1n safety in a shorttime. The | Fire Department, it was thought, had the fire under control, but about two hours after the flames again made their appear- ance and another alarm was sent in, fol- lowed soon after by a general cali, and 1n a short time the entire apparatus of the city was working in an effort to stay the flames. At12:30 the fire was vet burning and the building is practically ruined. The struc- ture was owned by Mrs. Barnard of Omaha. R Bryan Eats Turkey at Home. LINCOLN, NEse.,Nov. 28.—William Jen- nlns Bryan reached Lincoln from Denver te-day in time to enjoy his Thanksgiving dinner at home with his family and help dispose of a twenty-five pound turkey, which came with the~compliments of the Democratic Free-Silver Ciub of Chesan- ing, Mich. The Bryan home is still guar- antined, and friends of the family were unable fo call. Ruth Bryan, who'ls suf- fering from diphtheria, is mending slowly. Aside from attending to his correspon- dence, which is laree and working some | on his book, Mr. Bryan has no plans for | the immediate future. He as not yet an- nounced the topic for his lecture series. —_—— Chile’s New Cabinet. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

THIS MEANS AN EXTRA SESSION There Is No Chance for the ' Passage of the Ding- ley Bill. Republican Managers In‘er- viewed Clevelanc—Learned He Would Veto It So Between the Fourth and Tenth of March McKinley Will Call Congress. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 26.—Senator Quay is quotea, as though it was some- thing new, as favoring the passage of the Dingley bill and the consequent avoidance of an extra session of Congress, which view of the Senator wasannounced in THE CALL nearly three weeks ago when Mr. Quay passed through Washingion on his way to Fioridg. That view is now some- what modified, however, as the Senator merely says that “if the Dingley bill could be resurrected from its burial-place in a Senatorial committee and enacted into law after the necessary changes, that course woula be preferable to an extra assembly of Congress.” Butit is now well understood that the Dingley bill, even if it pass the Senate and be accep in its amended form by the House, not se- | care the signature of the chief executive. The correspondent of THE CALL has ex- clusive information of some very import- ant developments which have reached a culmination within the last few days with : the Committee on Ways and Means, whose Republican membership will re- main in the Filty-fiftn Congress as it was in the Fiity-iourth, and is vested with the prerogative of the origination of all rev- enue measures. That committee is now utterly opposed to the enactment of the Dingley biil into a final law, as it was only intended as an emergency measure for revenue purposes. Republican members of the committee have not waited for a meeting face to face before deciding upon a programme. They bave been in constant communication since the election. They have reached a conclusion that if the Dingley measure be | passed in an amended form by the Senate 1t would be put tosleep in the House. But there is an obstacle even mare certain than the opposition of the House man- agers in the way of the enactment of the Dingley law. The late election brought Republicans into intimate relations with | the President, and that intimacy has led | to a recent performance that is unigue in | the history of the Awerican u\imin{stu-i tion. By the exercise of the most delicate | diplomacy the President has been com- | municated with by Republicans of the House upon the subject of the Dingley bill and the information given formally and positively that the chief executive, to maintain any show of consistency and of devotion to a great principle which was announced in “halcyon and vociferous'' language would be compelled to veto any such measure as that which passed the | House last session. If anything had been lacking to decide the Repubiican managers to make no at- during the coming session the want was | supplied by this explicit declaration which ; Mr. Cleveland has kindiy furnished within the last few days to a diplomatic agent of his friends, the enemy with tions during the campaign. Less formal and more direct has been the communi- cation between the Republican leaders and President-elect McKinley. A free cxpression of opinion has been received within a day or two from that incomparabie exponent of the tariff, and it isin effect tbhatno fragmentary or ill- considered legislation should beattempted | or permitted, that an extra session shouid be called promptly after the 4ih of March, and the tariff schedules shou!d be thor- oughly revised. The Repnbiican pro- gramme, therefore, as arranged through conferences of the leaders, is as follows: Any attempt to revive the Dingley biil will be discouraged by the persons who were responsible for its creation and its passage through the House. 1i it shoula, by means of any influence, be placed it, and passed by the connivance of D:m- ocrats whose sole purpose would be 10 confuse and disconcert those who are de- termined upon a thorough and intelligent legislation, the House will pigeonhole or defeat it when it is returned to that body in amended form. If by any unantici- pated combination it should pass both ! House and Scnate, it will be with ths nowledge that it will be vetoed by Presi- Between the 4th and 10th of March the then President—McKinley—will issue a call for an extra session of Congress, to be convened for the sole purpose of enacting revenue laws and possibly to consider and act upon the recommendation for the creation of & commission to confer with similar commissions of other great com- mercial countries upon the question of bi- metallism. Thirty days will be allowed from the date of the issue of the procla- mation for Congress to prapare for the ex- tra session, and during that time and also during the closing session of the present Congress, which will convene a week from next Monday, the Committee on Ways and Means will hold daily sessions, 10 be devoted to consideration of the new tariff bill, revising rates, hearing suggestions, listening to arguments of delegations and individuals. report upon the mental condition of Lieutenant-Colonel George A.

EARL RUSSELL ON THE STAND. Denounces the Charge of a Most Pe- culiar Nature Against Him as “Filthy Lies.” LONDON, Exo., Nov. 26.—The trial of Lady Scott was continued in the Conti- nental Criminal Court to-day with Earl Russell on the witness-stand. Counsel for Lady Scott received a ietter written by Lady Cardigan to Countess Russell, in which the writer asked, “Do you know that Earl Russell was expelled from Ox- ford for malpractices, and are you also aware that he was guilty of misconduct with a Chinaman, who was afterward shipped to China?” Earl Russell said he had employed a Chinese boy, but there was not the slightest foundation for the story of witness’ misconduct with the lad. | Counselor Hall next examined Lord Russell on behalf of the male defendants. The Eqgl saia that Ion Thynne, who slept in his (witness') cabin on board the yacht, could disprove Kast’s story, but he had gone to South America, baving sailed about six weeks ago. Thynne had been subpenaed as a witness in this case, but he could not delay his departure for South America, as his child was1ll, and it was necessary that he should be taken away at once. In continuation of his cross-examina- tion the Earl admitted that Aylott had slept in his cabin. Aylott was & notorious liar, but witness had nevertheless given bim a good character when he left his ser- vice. The whole of Aylott's statement, Earl Russell said, was one filthy lie. None of the male defendants, Lord Russell ad- mitted, had ever attempted to blackmail him. Sir Frank Lockwood, Q. C., for the prosecution, re-examined Earl Russell, whe, 1n answer to questions, said that Lady Scott had not objected to the tone of the letters which he had written to her. Counsel proceeded to read a number of letters written 1o Earl Russell by Lady Scott, all of which were couched in the most affectionate terms, after which the trial was adjourned until to-morrow. — - > SBERIOUS MENACE 10 PEBACE.
