He recommends that the toward
for delivering deserters bo raised to
$100. That the clothing allowance
ue auuiisnea. xnat trouser-straps
and spurs be done away with. He
says It is difficult to sit down with
comfort when one Is wearing trouser-straps,
nnd the spurs are an un
mitigated nuisance." He also wants
chapenus and epaulettes abolished,
and adds: "The former Is hideous and
tho latter heavy and gaudy."
Tho target range at Vancouver
barracks is too short.
Any additional Improvement at
Fort Lawtou would be too costly.
He wants additional buildings at
Fort Wright, enough to accommodate
a full regiment of Infantry.
Fort Walla Walla "has outlived its
usefulness and ought to bo abandoned."
The Boise barracks ought to be
largely reconstructed.
Fort Casey and Fort Worden need
new buildings.
As Insufficient quarters aru the
cause of many desertions, ho advises,
that Fort Liscum, Alaska, be moved
to the opposite sldo of Valdese Day,'
as it Is now burled in snow every
winter.
More Pay for Privates.
He presents strong arguments in
recommending Increased pay t" men
in the ranks. He says:
"To get and keep good men there
must bo a radical increase In the pay
of tho rank and file."
"There Is no disguising the fact
that recruits are obtained with diffi
culty, and are not always of satisfac
tory quality They seldom re-enlist,
while tho number of deserters and
dishonorable discharges Is phenom
enal. The government cannot get
something for nothing any more than
rhilways or manufacturing concerns
can.
listed men is seen to bu small,
"The wonder Is, not that so few
men enlist and so small a percentage
re-enlist after three years, but that
we obtain and keep so many really
gooa men as we do.
"If tho pay of privates serving un
der their first enlistment was made
approaching that of farm labor, I am
of the opinion there would be suffic
ient enlistment from a superior class.
Men from the farms who are usual.y
good physically and have common
school education, and are not so
much addicted to intemperance as
those from the cities."
The report reviews tho condition of
the troops at posts In the far North
west, Including those of Alaska, which
General Funston visited In tne
spring. He enthusiastically praises
the work of the signal corps for the
successful construction of 1,500 miles
of telegraph lines through an unin
habited wilderness.

BULGARIAN ELECTIONS.
Not Believed That tne Complexion
of Government Will Change.
Vienna, Oct. it. The elections
for a new Uulgarlan Assembly take
place tomorrow and In the present
disturbed state of affairs In that
country it Is natural that all politl
cnl Europe should await the result
with consldcradlo Interest, not to, say
anxiety.
Even taking Into account tho fact
that tho uulgarlan franchise system
admits of tho government overawing
tho electors, there nppenrs to bo no
likelihood that tho comploxloii of tho
new Sobrnnjo will bo materially
changed, and little doubt that the
government will find It Just as Impos
sible to work with the new deputies
as It did with their predecessors.

wheat closed unchanged. The mar
ket opened easier, to V, lower than
yesteruay. There is very little change
in the' situation. The conditions on
this side are bullish owing to the
scarcity of contract grade wheat. On
the other hand the foreign situation
Is against any further advance iu
prices. However the situation over
here is so strong In both winter anti
spring wheat markets that higher
prices seem Inevitable. Millers are
active bidders for all good wheat.
Tho action of stocks the past two
days has verified our contention.
Namely, that the short interest must
bo enormous and that tho market is
near the bottom and has been for
somo time. We Jtavo been advising
the mirchaso of stocks for the past
few weeks of depression, feeling con
vinced that tho market would not sell
much, if any longer.
