Merriam, commander of the Depart- ment of the Missouri, in his annual report devotes particular attention to the neces- sity of better drill work by the soldiers caused by the incoming of many recruits. General Merriam says there is a notion among the older officers, that a soldier drill regulations may be eXcused from drill without detriment, bodies of men can maintain the power of collective action only by frequent collec- tive practice even in the simplest exer- cises. General Merriam strongly indorses a recommendation of Captain Michie of the Twelfth Cavalry for a change in the cav- alry bit. He says that even with the re- cent improvement which renders the bit less severe upon the mouths of young horses there is still a considerable per- centage of horses maae victims by undue severity in the use of the bit. He believes a return to the double rein is fully justi- fied for at least half of each troop. Other recommendations are that the caliber of the cavalry revolver be en- larged, and that the knapsack or pack be supplied .to the Infantry soldier in place of the blanket bag now in use. A signifi- cant statement by Chief Surgeon Kimball of this department is that ““with compara- tively few exceptions youths under 20 years of age are not able to bear up un- der the hardships and privations of an active campaign and serve only to incum- ber the hospitals and to diminish the ef- ficlency of the army.” Surprising progress toward the goal of self-support by the Apache prisoners of war is recorded in an appendix by Cap- tain Sayre, in charge of those prisoners. He shows that they now have on hand 2784 head of cattle of their own raising, old, and that no clothing was issued to them during the year. these Indians are suffering severely from tuberculosis, contracted while in captiv- ity in Florida, and there were thirteen more deaths than births among them. They are declared to be generally a moral, industrious, truthful, honest and docile people. Coney Island Jockey Club Stakes.

OMAHA, Oct. 13.—Chief of Police Don- ahue to-day received a letter from Pat | Crowe, naming the terms on which he will surrerder. The letter came in care of an Omaha newspaper, in which it is pub- | lished, and covers fifteen closely written | pages of manuscript. The postmark is il- legible, but the letter was mailed at S | o’clock in the morning and reached this city at 8 in the evening of the same day indicating that it had not traveled a long distance. In the letter Crowe agrees to give him- self up at once and stand trial for the kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy, provided ke is not locked up until a jury shall adjudga him guilty. He says he is unable to fur- nish bonds in excess of $500, and demands that bail be fixed in that sum. Chief Donahue expresses himself as sat- isfied that the letter came from Crowe. Donahve has known Crowe for several years and is acquainted with his manner, handwriting and style of speech. The Chiet also received to-day a letter from Crowe's uncle in Manchester, lowa, submitting similar terms for Crowe’'s sur. render, which leads the police to believe that they are dealing with the right man Crowe in his letter takes the detective agencies to task, defying them to attempt his arrest, and continues: Now. Mr. Donahue, let me tell you ail I ask is justice, a fair trial by twelve men, oitizens of ‘Douglass County, Neb. Not by Herod or any of his kind. Their god is gold, and with that power they rule the world. Donahue. all I ask is a square deal. my request and I will give myself up. Mr. Cudahy has known me for thirteen years. He now believes me guilty; nevertheless, [ think he will give me a fair trial, as all he wants is the public to know the truth. Crowe says he has known Governor Savage ever since he was a barcfooted Loy on the farm In Towa, espressss regret tiat e (Crowe) ies fallen into ill repate. | and then lays down the conditinis of his | surrender as follows: Grant Now, Mr. Donahue, I will give myself up to you it you will promise me upon your word of honor that I will not be locked up until the jury says “Guilty.” And if the jury says that, 1 will take my punishment like a man, without a murmur. I can give a bond for $500, and that is all. It the court will not accept that I will remain a fugitive from injustice Your answer to this must bear the signatures of Edward Cudahy, Governor Savage, Sherift John Power, Attorney Shields, Chief J. J. Donahue and the Judge that fixes the bond. Mr. Donahue, I want you to understand that I am not afraid of the combined wealth of all the Cudahys on earth and the efforts of all the scrub detectives that their money can hire. The man that tries to pinch me will bite the dust for I am ready to die in the mix. I will not be kangarooed. Chief, 1 ask but I do not expect to get Justice” There is some one who wants to put me away and I know the god of gold, Crowe says that he has been in South Africa, fighting with the Boers, recites reminiscences of the war and discusses the contest. He directs that Chief Dona- hue’s reply be made through a local paper, and says if his offer is not accepted he will return to a forelgn country, from which he probably will never returr Chief Donahue said to-night that he would request the city and Mr. Cudahy to withdraw the rewards offered for Crowe, with the provision that Crowe sur- render himself. He said that if Crowe save himself up he would be given all ths advantages the law provided. Edward A. Cudahy said to-night: “T am opposed to entering into any special ne- gotlations for the return of Crowe. It is only a matter of time when he will be ap- prehended. However, T will withdraw the {ie'a’!d offered for his arrest and convic- on. ST. JOSEPH.
