Armies.
IN. Y. Tmes.J
Since the present war began, remarks
a writer in the New York Times, many
small pleasantries have been leveled al
the fact that both combatants are
waging 1t upon borrowed money; but
less notice has been taken Of yet more
significant fact-that most of the best
officers on either side are borrowed like
wise. 1t is singular enough to remark
how invariably every commander who
has distinguished himself in Turkey for
years past proves to be foreigner.
Omar Pasha was a Hungarian; Beh-
ram Pasha Scotchman; Iskorder Bey,
one Of the best Turkish cavalry officers
of the Crimean war, q Polish refugee,
ski: Nasmyth and Butler, the defenders
Of Silistria in 1853, were English Off
GERS; Ibrahim Aga was originally an
Edinburgh gunsmith, Thomas Keith by
name; Hobart Pasha, who has just sig
nalized himself by running the gantlet
of the Russian batteries on the Danube,
Is an Englishman, and it is well known
that many high commands, both in
Turkey and in Egypt, are held at this
moment by officers from the United
States.
Nor is Russia whit behind her riv al
in this curious importation. From the
very opening Of the century till now the
victories Of Russia have been the tri-
umphs Of foreigners. Bennington, who
fought the battles Of Eylau and Fried
land in 1907, and defeated Napoleon
himself at Heilsberg on the Aller, was a
German. His colleague, Osterman
Tolstoi, was from the Baltic provinces.
Barclay de FOLLY, commander-i in chief
in 1912 till superseded by the Russian
Kutuzoff, was Hanoverian. Lageron
and Wittgenstein, the heroes Of
1894, were of foreign blood, as was
also Count Diebitsen, the victor Of
Adrianople in 1929. Prince Paskievitch,
the conquerer Of Erivan, sprang from a
Hungarian family. Gems. Aurer, Schil-
ders and Luders, who figured in the
Danubian campaign of 1853, were all
foreigners. Gen. Todleben (by far the
best engineer whom Russia possessas),
is a Courlander; Gen. Nepokoytschit-
ski, Pole. In fact, it is difficult to run
over the prominent names on. either
side without recalling the old mess
room story of the English interpreter,
who, while watching with delight the
meeting of a fierce looking Russian
General with a shawled and bearded
Pasha, was suddenly petrifed by hear
ing Turk and Russian break forth sim
ultaneously, "Eh, Donald Campbell!
are We here ?" Lord keep us, Sandy
Robertson, can this be you9 ?"

Mining Patents.

The Secretary of the Interior has
ordered that the City Rock mining
company application for N patent for
the King OF the West mine in Utah
shall ie suspended until the contro-
vetsy now pending between the
parties in Utah is finally adjusted by
the courts. Secretary Chandler. in
making this order, lays down the
following important general prlnci-
pies:
First, That it is the duty of the
department, when an adverse claim
was presented for consideration, to
examine it and determine whether
the claimant has substantially set
forth under oath, its nature, boun-
diaries and extent; but, secondly, if u
compliance with the law is shown in
these particulars and suit has been
instituted to determine the right of
parties, the department can proceed
no further with the investigation,
but mus. await the determination of
all other questions in regard to the
controversy, by the cour's. This
order is of great importance to mine
owners, as it completely reverses past
practices of the department, winch
has been TO decide mining contests
and issue patents while suits relating
to them were still pending in the
courts

The Presidential Contest.

The following resolution, intro
duced by Mr.. Bailey, passed in the
Legislature by unanimous vote:
Resolved by the Assembly, the
Senate concurring, That we, as repre-
sentatives Of the people of Nevada,
irrespective of party and independent
of all partisan bias or prejudice, re-
specially urge upon our Senators and
Representative in Congress to use
every effort, and their best endeavors,
to secure the settlement of the grave
questions now agitating the country
as to the next President, in peace
able and quiet manner, and at the
same time convey to them our firm
conviction that as Lovers of our com
mon country, and having deep and
abiding interest in her welfare, We
would rather see either of the rival
candidates inaugurated than one drop
OF fraternal blood should he spilled,
or one dollar of money expended in
civil strife.

The great disadvantage that Cen
eral Crook and his command lahored
under during the operations of the
past year in the field. was a lack of
transportation. There was not suf-
ficient number of wagons in the en-
tire country trayersed by the COM
mand to do the necessary Transports
ton. In the matter of corn alone,
twenty-nine thousand pounds were
required daily. There were fifteen
hundred soldiers, three hundred and
sixty-three Indian allies, pack train
of four hundred mules in charge of
sixty-five men, one hundred and sixty
eight six-mule teams, and seven am-
balances. The ration for each man
averaged three pounds daily, and
that, with corn, stoves, tentage, ETC.,
made the natter of transportation the
greatest burden of the campaign.
TWAS impossible to start out for a
longer time than t irteen days.

We WOULD not be so unreason-
ably exact as to expect writer al
ways to quote verbatim from the
celebrated authors, especially in
the haste of composing for the daily
press, but it is particularly grating
to the nerves and annoying to the
finer sensibilities of admirers of lit
erary excellenciss to see favorite and
familiar pieces quoted quite out of
the text. A stanza from Giay s
Elegy in Thursdays Chronicle is
what gives rise to these reflections.
And in the same paper, occurring IN
a somewhat brilliant correspond
ence from San Francisco, is a line
OF Congreve's credited to Byron.
When one uses a quotation and is
not quite sure of its authorship it
is best to say nothing about it, for
mistakes in that respect are apt to
be very embarrassing.

THE Santa Fe New Mexican has a
correspondent down south who picks
up some interesting items in regard
to the resources of that region. He
has lately visited the Socorro silver
mines, situated in Socorro county,
twenty-seven miles west of the Rio
Grande, in the Magdalena mountains,
and 1856 miles southwest of Santa Fe.
The ores are Il carbonate of lead and
from 40 to 60 per cent. of lead, and
from IS to 100 ounces of silver per
ton. Many tons of lead bullion, says
the writer, have been shipped to St.
Louis and Chicago, and the silver ex-
tracted, giving results entirely salts
factory to all parties interested.
These mines are very extensive; hum
dreds of leads have been opened and
thoroughly prospected, many of the
shafts sunk from 40 to 100 feet in
depth. The ore is remarkable easy
to smelt, and can be counted by
thousands of tons.

Opinions of the Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25 The Express
and Post speak in Mandatory terms
of the action of the Senate in pass
ing the Electoral bill The Exy
press says: The country, which,
since the election under the guild
ance of political wreckers of the
press and forum. has been drifting
like helpless ship upon stormy
sea. is now turned into safe chan.
mel and soon we trust to see the
ship of State anchored in a pros
porous harbor.
TIE Post thinks the bill will be
law before week.
The Commercial Advertiser says
the indecent haste in rushing
through measure of such grave
importance TO the country will be
looked upon with suspicion. More
time is given to an Act to provide
for the erection of penitentiary in
the District Of Columbia than to a
measure in which every citizen of
the country has common interest.
The bill will go to the House and
be rushed thr ugh as hurriedly
and indecently as it was through
the Senate.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26 A Journal
Washington special says: There is
general expression of relief even
by the opponents of the Compromise
bill that it has passed. An effort
will be made to rush it through the
House. but about one-third of the
members will streDuously oppose
it. Leading Democrats say it will
be delivered to the President on
Saturday. The House was crowded

HOUSE OF REFUGE,

Speaker Migbels has forwarded US
q copy OF the bill recently intro
duced bv him in the House to estab-
lish House of Refuge in which boys
from eight to twelve years Of age, de-
tected in the commission of crimes or
misdemeanors against the laws, may
be incarcerated for the purpose OF
retaining them and saving them
from the result of evil practices. Ac-
cording to the provisions of the bill
the structure is to cost $4,000, $780,
900 of which is to be drawn from
the State Building Fund, and S45,-
900 from the General Fund. The
10000. or SO much as needed, is to
be applied to the planning and con-
struction of the building, which is to
be erected on the sire of the new
state Prison at Reno, the walls now
standing to be utilized as an inclo-
sure. The $4,000 from the General
Fund, or 50 much as may be needed,
is to be applied to the equipment and
maintenance of the institution and
the payment of salaries of its en-
ployees. A Board Of Trustees, to
CONSIST of the Governor, State Super
intendent of Schools and Controller,
is created and endowed with
powers to control and manage the
institution throughout, the necessary
expense incurred in the discharge of
these duties being drawn from the
General Fund.
A House of Refuge is needed in
Nevada, and the bill of Representa-
tive Mighels covers all the ground.
We hope to see 1t become law.
