WaMINOTON, Nov. 80.—The republi¬
cans are preparing tut a vigorous fight
on the new tariff bill. Circular letters
are now being sent cut to wool-giowers
by thousands signed by Justice, Batemau
& Co., Philadelphia wool commission
merchants, asking that certain wool data
be sent to Congressman Burrows. The
circular says:

“It ha* been stated that wool growing

lands, under free wool might cease to

Mountain region the industry would
thrive under free wool. Please give

deficit oansed by tbs new bill will not
exceed *85,000,000. They of |! claim 0.000,000 that in to
addition to a revenue
*15,000.000. to be derived from stimu¬
lated importation, the natural increase
of importation, bad not tlie hard times
set in, would have amounted this year to
from *5,000,000 to *10,000,000. With
the resumption of buaiaasa this increase,
they think, will be fully realized.
Rice, sugar, iron ore and coal are the
principle articles In which southerners
are interested, and all lmvebeen subject¬
ed to vigorous treatment. There is a 35
per cent cut in the dnty on cleaned rice
and 30 per cent <*n toe unclaimed pro¬
duct. Representatives of South Caro¬
lina, Florida and Louisiana probably
will make an effort to restore the rates.
The western mem Iters seem to be fair¬
ly well satisfied with the bill. Repre¬

they bad put a small revenue duty on

CHAR 1 .K 8 TON, W. Va., Nov. 80.—The
fact that William L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, is chairman of the committee
that puts coal on the free list has aroused
muon interest. The officials of the state
hoose—from Governor MacCorkle down
—are sanguine that the bill will defeat
Wilson’s re-election. the They are support¬
ed in this belief by entire body i
coal men, representing 10,000 vote*. Ex-
Governor Wilson and many other free
trade men Bay that Wilson will be more
popular than ever. But all parties agree
that Democracy in West Virginia is
badly split. Republicans and the Re¬
publican press think that the split means
victory for the Republican party in this
state.
The Charleston Daily, Mail Independ¬
ent, takgs a stand against Wilson. It
thinks he hau missed the beet interest of
his district and state, and that he will
be responsible if The the Daily Republicans win Demo¬ the

HIS AHNUAL REPORT MADE PUBLIC
The Count Prime, Receive the Careful
Notice of the Secretary—Indian
Warfare et an Bad—The
Army’s strength.
Washington, Nov. 39.— The follow¬
ing is a synopsis of the annual report of
the secretary of war. It gives the usual
review of the condition and operations
of the army and in addition Is devoted
especially to the progress of the work on
the sescoast defences. Secretary Loin ant
reports that it may be assumed that
Indian warfare is practically at an end
in the United States; that demands for
the authority on which that obligation
properly rests demonstrates its complete
ability to discharge it, and in conse¬
quence the gradual concentration of the
army on the ssacoast and the frontiers
is prescribed by the conditions of the
times. Any considerable increase In the
number* of the army would not meet
with popular favor and it is not sug¬
gested by any contingency, immediate or
remote, but the work of fortification at
thirteen of our largest seaports, already
begun or projected for the near future,
render* the conversion of a portion of
the infantry to artillery army, a mani¬
fest necessity of the period directly
ahead of ns.
The total strength of the army on
Sept. 30, 189\ was 3,144 officers and 25,-
778 enlisted men. From various causes,
discharges, purchase, desertion, etc., the
army lost 0,45(1 enlisted men during the
year and gained furnished 9,074 recruits. Trans¬
portation was for 887,577 per¬
sona, 0,948 animals and 89,893 tons of
freight. The new quarters, barracks and
buildings ably with at military army posts structures compare abroad. favor¬
The discipline, health and general con¬
dition of the army are reported good.
The secretary of war recommends
strongly the maximum repeal of the law fixing enlist¬ 10
yea re as the period of
ment and favors a reduction of the
period of first enlistment to three years
instead of five. The prosecution of the
experiment of continued enlisting only Indian the compa¬
nies will be on pres¬
ent small scale until its success or failure
lias been proved. The three-battalion
organizations for infantry regiments is
recommended. .
The adoption of the new magazine rifle
is the most important step taken for the
infantry since the civil war. A limited
nnmber will Springfield be completed within the 80
days at tbo armory, and
entire infantry force will be equipped
with the new army gun before the close
of the coming year. The gradual man¬
ufacture of a reserve supply for the
army sufficient for the organized militia
is recommended.
The engineer corpe is preparing, at
Portland, Me., Boston, New York,Wash¬
ington, Hampton Roads and San Fran¬
cisco emplacement in all for four 13-
inch guns, 30 10-inch gnns, 5 8-inch
gnus, and 05 13-inch mortars; also 34
casements for submarine the torpedo defense opera-
tions. Work on coast at
Narragansett bay, Charleston, Tybee
Roads and the Savannah river and Pen¬
sacola will be begun during the year.
Work will be progressing proposed next year at
18 of the 38 ports for fortifica¬
tion’ by the Eudicott board. The annual
output of the Waterville cun factory is
15 13 inch guns. 15 10-inch and 12 8-inch
gnns, and the first of the 100 large guns
contracted for with the Bethlehem Iron
works is due next year.
The invention and manufacture of
American brown and smokeless powders
for heavy ordnance, and for magazine
rifles, have made slow progress and the
secretary of war urges manufacturers to
solve the ploblem tor their own profit
and our national pride. The report pays
much attention to the education of
officers and men of the army and in¬
struction of the militia and military
schools, holding that the short duration
of recent wars demonstrates the im¬
portant part of the exact sciences in
modern warfare and that be progress in the
war department must university along the lines
of a national of military
science aa well as 'along those of ooaat
defense.
The greater part of the work of estab¬
lishing the Chickamauga and Chatta¬
nooga national military park beginning has been
completed and the states are
to erect monuments on the field to their
troops. __

Colombia, Nov. SO— Representative
Brazeale, of Anderson, has introduced
in the house a bill to repeal the charter
of the Port Royal and Augusta railroad,
and to liquidate the corporation and dis¬
tribute the assets. The bill provides that
the attorney general be directed to insti¬
tute forthwith proper proceedings to
liquidate the corporation, to restrain its
stockholders or creditors from ex ireistng
any rights, privileges or franchises as a
corporation; to have a receiver appointed,
who shall sell the property and make
distribution of the proceeds thereof
among the creditors and stockholders.
In order to prevent the road from being
controlled by any competing line, no pur¬
chasers, nor any other person, shall be
allowed to operate the road without be¬
coming first intorporated under the laws
of this state; and no corporation shall
be formed by any purchaser to operate
or control the road under any law of this
state otherwise enabling thereto except
with the prior consent in writing of the
governor, the attorney general and the
chairman of the hoard of railroad com¬
missioners of this state, and no such
consent shall he given by these officers
unless it be made fully and absolutely
to appear that no competing line is in
any way interested therein, the evidence
establishing such a fact to be filed in the
office of the secretary of state.
No individual or corporation controll¬
ing any transportation line competing
with the said road, or having a controll¬
ing interest in any corporation operating
such competing lines or in any way
representing such controlling interest,
shall be the owner of a controlling inter¬
est in said corporation authorized to be
created or organized under the provis¬
ions of this act. Should any such cor¬
poration or individual become so inter¬
ested. then the charter herein authorized
shall be ipso facto null and void, and
the franchise, powers and privileges
lereby conferred shall cease absolutely,
and the attorney general shall imme¬
diately institute proceedings purchase to liquidate of
the same, and the sale and
the property. ;

CHARGED WITCHCRAFT.
A Congregation Divided on tlie Subject.
The End Not Yet.
Alliance, O., Nov. 30.—A Methodist
congregation three miles east of Salem,
O., may divide on the subject of witch¬
craft. One of the brothers, Howard
Hughes, dug a well but could find no
water, and he declared it was bewitched.
Old Dr. Hoff, after various incantations,
told him that the evil spirit was William
Culp, another member of the church,
and that the well would afford no water
during Culp's life.
Hughes raised a great fuss about the
matter, taking it into the church.
Strange to say, the church people became
divided on the subject and the end ianot
yet. Stranger still, the Hughes family
and its followers are considered very in¬
telligent on other subjects. A secret
session of the congregation has been held.
Wreck on the Western.

which seven passengers were injured,

ed with passengers, were considerably
