In view Of the possibility that England
may be involved in European war growing
ont Of tho issuos Of tho Turco-Servian cam
paIgn, tho Pau Mall Budget seeks to muster
up courage and inspire hope by considering
ita military reBourcos at certain periods in
the past when England rouaed itself to
great efforts. It shows that In 1903 En-
gland had q fleet Of 49s ships Of war, and in
1900 ita navy had Increased 10 TOT ships.
During tho war, tho English sailora gained
avo great victories md destroyed or captured
GAL foreign vessels. The peace of Amiens
was short in duration, and In 1907 the En-
glish destroyed tho French and spanish
fleets and captured tho whole naval forco Of
Denmark. In 1908 the fleet consiatad Of
500 shipB. In 1917 1t rose to oO1; aud
from 1909 to 1914 It captured or destroyed
GOO foreign veasela. Tho army in 1900
amounted in numbers to 1G8,08o. In
1904 volunteer force Of 10000 inou was
kept up. In 1876, whom It vas determined
to put down NAroLEoN, tho regular nrmy
numbered 100000 men. In recnpitulating

It is very evident tlat tho County Ring
haye determined to stand togcther, md de-
fend their stone job in court aA veil As outof
court. II they can save themselves and their
plunder by hard swoaring, 1t is certain that
thcro will be no lack of oaths, and if tho
quantity rather than the qunlity Of tho oaths
be binding upon the Court, 1t is possible that
no injunction Gun bo sustained to stop the
plumber on account Of fraud. II Edwin

BAl1A1p's, Notwithstanding the crooked rec
ord WALKER is said to have mnle before tho
Grand Jury Of February, 1875, and il GLEN
PEn1o1A1's oath il worth as much as AID.
sMr7u's, notwithstanding the former in under
indictment forrobbing tho county found upon
the evidence Of co-conspirator, then
there ia no doubt that tho Ring will hava tho
bulk Of testimony on their sido. Now there
10 oatha md oaths, and wa think it ia 0bout
timo for tho Courts to distinguish between
them.
Owing to tho obvious advantagespossessed
by tho Ring in the amount Of swearing they
can do, and the difficulty Of demonstrating
frnud to the satisfaction Of legal objections,
it ia fortunate that klr. WoopnnnoR, the
counsel for Aid BALtAnp on behalf Of tho
people, Inns made two amendments to his bill,
which ought to warrant the lssuc Of An in
junction without regard to the question Of
fraud In the contract. Ono OF these, reeites
that tho city and county entered into con-
tract in August, 1872, in which 1t was mutu-
ally stipulated and agroed that Court-H -HonBo
should bo erected jointly and that " the genornl
exterior design Of said building shall ba OF
uniform character and appearance" But
tho city las been given no voice In the selao-
ton OF tho stone Of which the building iB TO
be constructed, though AID. VAN OspE1,
Chairman OF tho Building Committee Of tho
Council, had nude a demand on the County
Board that the city should hayo m aqual
voice; dizregarding this demand, tho County
Board rushed through contract for the

regard To tho citys hnlt. A still moro iln-
portant amendment 10 tho orig ginal bill IL
that calling attention to tho general law re-
quiring that The proposed issue Of county

vious law authorizing tho County Board

This circular calls the attention OF exhibit

State Agricultural Society Of Virginia, which
commences at the Society'S grounds, in this

( q LONDON, September 5.--From q mass OF
conflicting dispatches from the seat OF war
it is possible 70 summari rize the military situ-
alton there as follows: Tchcrnayen and
the bulk OF the Servians are at Deligrsd, and
Alexinatz, II not abandoned, is held only
by a small force, which the Turks win not
hesitate to leave In their rear in case opera
tions are not suspended shortIy The
march Of the Turks upon Kruzeratz would
render Belgrade lmteTable, and. the Sefyian
army 10 in no condition to tight the Turks
on equal terms. Despite the attempts TO
diminish the importance OF Fridays battle,
it was undoubtedly a total and disastrous
defeat to the Servians, accompanied By
heavy losses in killed and wounded
A Belgrade special saysinO commodity Is
so distasteful there now as the truth. "A
correspondent OF Breslin paper was set
upon and beaten on Monday for saying he
had heard there was bad news from the
front. Subordinate officers 60 about enc
deayoring to convey to the excited people
the impression that Fridays battle resulted
in Seryian victory, but the Government is
fully sensible OF the situation, and that It
cannot much longer remain unknown to
the population.
+, LONDON, September 5.-The 1imeS's Yi-s#
emma correspondent gives . summary OF the
state Of affairs at the seat OF war mud con.
cludes: sThe military situation, therefore,
is greatly in favor OF the Turks, should dip
lomatic action fail to secure suspension OF
hostilities. Although there is nothing to be
added to the brief statements OF facts already
published concerning negotiations for peace,
it seems hardly possible that either the Porte
or the friends of the status quo among the
Powers can permit the negotiations
to fail to result III q prompt stls-
pension Of hostilities. 1t is the almost
universal expression OF the leading press OF
Europe that Turkey cannot make too many
or too ready concessions to public opinion
IL she would preserve her position in Eu-
rope, in the face of the strong feeling ex-
cited by the Bulgarian massacres."
One OF the most important elements IN
this question Is the demonstrations now
being made in England against Turkey.
The feeling is becoming so strong and uIi-
mistakable that the friends OF the Govern
ment likewise are taking up the cry and
seeking to prevent the question becoming
party one.
