John O. Hanscom, the naval con-

the statement, except that he is naval

Congressman Page has allowed him
self to be Interviewed by a Bulletin
reporter and denies in Oto Pinney's
charges. With regard to himself he
says he bought no newspapers during
the campaign and had no primary
transactions with Pinney, except on
two occasions, when he borrowed
sums from him in the regular order of
business, repaying them in a similar
manner. He says if he owes Pinney
a cent he is ready to pay it.; that he
never wrote u letter in connection with
Pinney matters that he WAS nOt willing
should be published; that when Pin

the charge of desertion, he represented

clined to accede to any such arrange.
ment. subsequently Pinney's son
wrote Page a threatening letter, when
he concluded he would have nothing
more to do with the matter. Lutrell,
who is in town to-day on his return
from Arizona, is quite reticent on this
subject, but intimates that there is
some %rottenness at Mare Island that
ought to be cleared up. Mr.. TilliDg-
hast, of the Bank of British Columbia,
processes to have no knowledge of any
negotiations for Pinney's return, al.
though his bank is a heavy holder Of
bogus certificates; neither did Mr..
ShOtwell, another victim, know of such
negotiations, but Mr.. Burr of the Clay
street bank was posted in the matter,
though he had but little to say on the
subject. Pinney and Captain Lees
have been cl~oseted:.in the Office of the
Clay-street bank all day. A meeting

is called to meet there this afternoon,

said, in the event OF such an alliance,
it might be necessary for Germany to
act quickly as in former campaigns.
The officers would shortly receive in

which he deemed it his duty to provide
against. In the course of his speech,
Figaro says Won Moltke drew a par

armies and remarked that Russia will
need all her forces to overcome the
Turks. Though the foregoing is hav-

Writing sometimes for the paper or
which he vas employed articles OF
greater length or on some more pre-
tentiOus subject than usual, Clemens
signed these with the non de plume,
then first assumed, OF "Mark Twain"
this style of signature having been
adopted, as it Is said, for the following
reasons: When acting as steamboat
pilot on the Mississippi, it had been
made part of his duty to take the
soundings. In doing this it becomes
necessary to sing out the depth of
water as indicated by the lead, direct
ing the proper scoring to be made,
thus: "mark One," ''mark twain; 1.-THE
latter, the ancient and now nearly OBJ
solete form of the word two. From
his peculiar manner of drawing this
out, young Clemens had acquired
among the steamboat fraternity the
soubriquet of mark Twain" which
droll phrase being familiar to his ear,
auo pleasing him, perhaps by it's origi-
nality and fitness, was retained for the
above purpose. This may be a fanci-
full explanation OF the origin of the
term In question, but we do not recol.
lect of having heard any other sug-
gested. = Exchange.
That story won't work; it is too thin.

Blissful ignorance Is a big thing.
The bonanza mines have paid their
back taxes and a great many people
are happy. The cases could have
been continued in the Courts almost
indefinitely, but owing to the unpre-
cedented hard times coupled with un.
mistakable communistic indications
on the Comstock, the mine managers
thought it the best and safest course
to settle and thus end the whole dis
pute. There is something a lit
tie curious about the settlement too.
AS far as it goes it is in strict keep
ing with the much abused compromise
measure Of the late session Of the
Legislature; that is to say that
the mines have paid their taxes,
less the mount due or penalties.
which aggregated about $780, 900. This
Is even worse for the State, since we
come to think Of it, than the pro-
posed compromise $4,000 worse] and
yet men and journals who denounced
the former now indorse the latter.
The powers that be have authorized
this settlement, which, after all, is but
q compromise, and not As favorable a
one either as that proposed by the Leg
islature. Had this same basis of set

lature~ instead of now, the State

ing q saving Of $4,000 annually to the
other taxpayers Of the State. The cold
truth is that $15 900 a year for the next
two years would have been left in the
pockets of the taxpayers of Eureka
county if the Legislature had effected
the compromise instead of the authori-
ties of Storey county and the State.
Some members foresaw the result OF
this whole business and tried hard to
tighten the burdens of a tax
ridden people while there was
an opportunity to do so. Before the
Legislature again meets, when State
taxation can be cut down, the nom
mining portion of the taxpayers of the
State will have paid unnecessarily
$3.50, 900; of which sum Eureka's pro
alta will not fall much short of $50, 900.

pleted. but up to time of writing over
100 guns have been obtained, chiefly
improved breech.loaders. Crazy Horse
gave up three Winchester rifles, and
Little Hawk gave up two. The Indi-
ans present a good appearance, but
their village shows signs of unceasing
pursuit the past year. Many lodges
are very old and almost in rags. A
great many members of this band
