In view of the impending coufict in
Europe, 1t may prove interesting to
your readers to know the strength of
the several belligerent powers and of
the powers which may throw their
swords on either side of the scales
My authority is the Amanach de
Gotha. According to that recognized
authority Turkey has on war footing;
Active army 203, 700, first reserve

armes 81 ,10O Hiyade 100 900, irregu-
lar troops 80, 900, auxiliary troops so,
600, Total $50, 100 men. The navy
IN 1873 had 21 iron plated vessels with
lob guns, of which 6 were monitors
and 80 Transports. Servia has a regu-
lar army, with reserves of 79, 40 men,
no navy. ROumania has a regular
army of 81 631 men, and Q men of war,
of which are gunhoats. Greece has
Il re9ulat army of 81 800 men, a fleet
composed of 2 iron plated frigates
and steamers aud IL sailing vessels.
Russia on peace footir & has $50, 900
men under arms. The military
forces which Russia would have at her
disposal IN case of a war, may be set
down at l, $4,000 men and 300, 900
bOrses. The Russian navy in 1874
was composed III personnel of 81 ad-
mirals, 224 officers, 5l3 officer pistols,
2lO artillery officers, 545 engine ers Off
ce,s, $500 sailors. The fleet counted
225 vessels OF all ranks with 521 guns
of 172, ,5Ol tons burthen and 81 ,97S
horse power. In case England should
side with Turkey, a regular army of
224 $50 men would have to be added

CHICAGO, July S-Noon.-Consider-
able anxiety exists at Sheridan's head
quarters concerning Crooks command,
from whom nothing has been heard
since the engagement in Rosebud
Greek. 1t is not known whether he
has encountered the savages or not. It
is thought he has again met them or
he would have co-operated with Terry
before this time. It is the belief at
headquarters that the recent defeats
of the regular troops will cause
change in the general char
ter of the campaign and in the
movement of troops which will be
more united in order to successfully
cope with the Indians.

shot on Tuesday, finished his obse-

casket containing the body was placed
on the sidewalk iii front of his late
residence on Second and 1 streets,
early III the afternoon, and close to it
appeared a cold lunch of roast pig,
chicken, rice, fruit, etc, sufficient to
last his spirit, and all the spirit friends
that might accompany it, until the M

female monruers, robed in white and
wearing gnnny sack head-covering,
