THE WAR NEWS.

The game of strategy, in which the
French army of the Loire has thus far
been handled in masterly manner. poes
on. The principal field of operations lies
within the departments of the Loire and
OF the Seine, but the entire French line cx
tends from near Evereaux, in the depart
ment of Eure, to Ncvers, in the DEPART
ment of Nievre, is over hundred miles
in length, and is made up of other forces
besides the army of the Loire proper. The
most important events are expected to oc-
cur within the former limits, the forces ON
the extreme funks cooperating.
The bumbardment of Thionville, near
the Luxemburg frontier, has become mer-
cilessly terrific. In the sortie of the French
garrison from Montmedy, on the 18th,
800 Germans were killed, wounded or can
tured. Several minor engagements are
reported in different parts of France. in
which the Franc -tircurs appear to bear the
most conspicuous parts. Ricotti Garibal-
di, with 400 men, routed $50 Prussians
at Chatillion on Monday last, causing them
to leave their dead and wounded on the
field, together with baggage and ammuni-
ton wagons.
Military operations in France have been
seriously retarded within the past few days
by stormy weather. Rain and snow have
been falling throughout the republic The
bombardment of Thionville has been ac-
tive and unremitting since Tuesday. 1t
was reported in London at an early hour
Yesterday (Friday) morning that Thion-
vile had capitulated.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg repre-
sents that the reply of Prince Gortscha-
koff to Earl Granville, which was received
in England on Thursday, was very con-
ciliatory in its tone, and asserts that Rus
sia Graves peace generally, and in the east
especially, and that she shrinks from act
ing separately from the other powers.
The submission Of the questions at issue
to conference or congress of powers will
probably soon be the next phase of the
trouble.

The cases ofthe assistant marshals whose
accounts with the census bureau show them
to have been guilty of making fraudulent
entries in order to increase the per capita

week to the district attorneys of the sever
al districts in which they reside to institute
proceedings against them, and press for a

INTERESTING DECISIONS BY THE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT hington,
November 21.-United States Supreme
Court, No. 211.-The National Bank of
the Republic VS.. Millard: error to the
Supreme Court of the District of Columb a.
The defendant in error sued the bank on a
check drawn in his favor by paymastcr
in the army, on the bank against funds to
the credit of the drawer Among other
matters, the court below refused to charge
the jury that Millard could not recover
unless the defendant, the bank, had ac-
cepted or promised to pay the check. The
verdict was for the plaintiff.
AS the bank brought the case here, this
court now reverses the Judgment, holding
that the holder of u bank check cannot
sue the bank for refusing payment in alb
sence of proof that it was accepted by the
bank or charged against the drawer. The
relation of banker and customer is simply
that of debtor and creditor, and does not
partake of judiciary character There
can be no foundation for an action on the
part of the holder unless there is a priyity
of contract between him and the bank,
and there can be no such privity where
the bank owes no duty and is under no
obligations to the holder The holder
takes the check on the credit of the draw
er and the bank is not connected with the
transaction. Mr.. Justice Davis delivered
the opinion.

enough to take new men. In this way
Congress has got rid of Ferris, Knapp,
Latin. Churchill. Kelsey, Hotchkiss, Fish
er and Sheldon in this State, who all voted
for almost every measure of protection.
The result of the canvass aside from
the victory of the revenue reform and civ
il service, is that the republicans have lost
thirty districts which they carried two
years ago. Had the party everywhere
done as it did in Missouri-had it boldly
placed itself on the platform of civil SER
vice and revenue reform, it would not be
mortified by these losses.
OF the one hundred and forty-three
members who will vote for revenue reform,
about sixty will be republicans These
will no doubt control the organization of
the House for while the ablcst and most
aggressive among the monopolists have
been left at home, the revenue reformers
have increased their force in. ability as
well as in numbers. Freeman Clarke of
this State, Samuel Shellbarger, James

THE EIGHT ARTICLE OF THE TREATY OF

THE EIGHT ARTICLE OF THE TREATY OF
PARIs.-The eighth article of the now ia
nous treaty of Paris provides that g if
their should arise between the Sublime
Porte and one or more of the other sign
ing powers any misundsrst anding which
might endanger the maintenance of their
relations, the Sublime Porte and each of
such powers, before having recourse to
the use of force, shall afford the other con
tracing parties an opportunity of prevent
ing such an extremity by means of their
mediator" Among Russias many COM
plants against the treaty of Paris one is
that this eighth article has been repeated
ly disregarded. It's object was to prevent
war. How it has failed of its purpose,
remarks the New York Herald. ali the
world knows. 1t was disregarded in 1859
when Napoleon went to war with Austria.
II was set aside in 1866 when Prussia
rushed upon Austria and crushed her at
Sadowa 1t was respected in 1867 when
the Luxembourg trouble led to the Lon
don conference. 1t was set at naught by
Napoleon when he declared war upon
Prussia in the present year 1870. The
object of the article was unquestonably
good, but its practical value has been
equal to nothing.

SUMNER ON THE PRESIDENTS FRIENDS
AND SAN DOMINGO. o.-Senator Sumner, who
is out West lecturing for lyceums, and
represented to be ''tired and cross and
wishing "to get back to his bed in Wash
ington," has been talking to an interview
er about Motley, Fish, Great Britain,
Alabama claims and other matters, also
"the St. Domingo job" In regard to
this latter affair the Massachusetts, Senator
is said to have spoken as follows:
Those young military men whom the
President had gathered around him or in
his actual cabinet, by what warrant it was
difficult to say, had taken a notion that
there was good speculation in that quar-
ter, and Grant had, honestly enough, been
persuaded into their scheme. WHY. a
friend of mine, who has been down there,
says that the whole coast of the Bay OF
Samana is staked off into lots and marked
"Cazneau" and "Babcock" and "Baez"
and that one or two particularly large ones
are marked Grant"
Interviewer.-They undoubtedly nut
Grants name down without his knowledre.
Sumner.-Most likely. You remember
that Cazneau? He is an old secession DEM
ocrat, appointed minister there by Pierce
and continued by Buchanan. He speaks
Spanish fuently and gets on we'll on that
account. Oh, it was bad business, thar
St. Domingo scheme.
Grant" says Sumner, sis honest, but
he don't know everything, and unfortu-
nately he don't know that he don't know
it. That is always the trouble with those
cases, and you can't make them know it.

$94, 1851 $4,000 $4,000, 600


1t will be seen that of seventy-nine mil
lions to be distributed to the South and
West, the South will get upward Of sixty
six millions, and the entire West, includ-
ing California (S2, 533, 49,, and Missouri
(S4, 1897, 312) less than thirteen. Illinois
obtains an increase only on population,
as she had no State banks in 1860, and,
consequently, gets none of the half dis
tributed on the basis of State banking
capital. Under the new distribution
Louisiana will get S7,906, 1913 circulation
in addition to the amount formerly
allotted. This will all be required, and
much more, to move the cotton, sugar
and rice crops. But we have reason to be
thankful for this liberal addition to our
circulation.
We learn that applications are coming
in freely from all the States except Cali
fornia for new bank charters under the
act It will require sixty millions Of
bonds to protect the S54,O0O,0OO of in
creased circulation, and as capitalists are
already on the alert to secure the privil-
eyes offered by the law, there has been
heavy demand for bonds. 1t is to this
cause that may be attributed in part the
fact that the value of United States bonds
has been well kept up in the United States
in the face of the fall in Europe, produced
by the war and its resulting complications.

IMPERIAL BUNCOMBE.

Coup de theatre number two has been re-
ceived in the Emperor's bulletin touching
the conduct of his son on the field of bat
tle He is determined to make central
figure out of this lad, come what will.
The first coup toward buckling the pres
ent dynasty on the back of France, will
ing or recalcitrant, was made on the
occasion of the departure Of the father
and son for the front. These coups will
be followed, as the war progresses, with
others of still greater theatrical effect.
Blue-fre, glory and all the paraphernalia
of dramatic tableau will be furnished at
the proper time with an unsparing hand
by this determined father. This boyis to
be another child of destiny with guiding
star to lead him on to victory. Bullets
shall turn away, and swords lose their
edge, when used against this star-pro-
tected child.
When he shall have accomplished deeds
of valor that would make the ordinary
mortal turn pale, shown a military genius
equal to that Of his grand-uncle, and in
spired the whole army with an undying
affection, then will the Imperial pro-
gramme be complete-then shall we be-
hold the apotheosis of Napoleon the
Fourth in that blaze of effulgence which
is supposed to ''beat about the throne"
The manner in which this bow is to be
made hero is all set down beforehand,
just as the fashion of cooking an omelette
is put down in the recipe of cookery
book. Glory and buncombe are to be
beaten up together, cooked to a point
suitable to the French palate and then
served piping hot, when the Imperial
cook expects the thing to be swallowed
with avidity. The French may digest
this sort of dish, but it is beyond our
capacity.
