LONDON, Jan. %.
The Berlin correspondent OF the
Times telegraphs that Russia is begin
ming to represent to the Powers that
the demands OF the Conference having
been rejected, it devOlves upon Europe
to take more forcibie proceedings.
Should Europe. as is certain, find it
impossible to agree on joint action,
Russia will be able to declare that the
failure of the Conference Is the defeat
of Europe, not OF Russia. In the
meanwhile, it appears that Russia
wishes to make an arrangement with
Austria respecting a joint occupation OF
Bulgaria and Bosnia. Count Andres
sy will hardly agree to this, whatever
he may be driven to dol the Russians
act on II cir own responsibility. The
steady reinforcement of the Russian
army probably means no more than
that the Russians will cross the Pruth
but without any immediate intention
OF crossing the Danube. 1t is probable
that Turkey would tolerate the pres
ence of Russians in Roumainia for q
short time, after which the financial
strain, caused by the large armies
which she has been compelled to keep

OPINIOAS CONCERNING IT.

New YORK, Jan. 81.
Interesting facts are given of the to-
Biography and of the regions
examined in Colorado, New Mexico
and California during the last fiscal
year, under special instructions from
the War Department. The examina-
ton was made to ascertain whether the
waters of the great Colorado river of
the West could be diverted to the adj
joining desert plains for purposes of
irrigation. The report thereon is ac-
companied with illustrations and regu-
lated data, showing the problem to be
difficult if not impracticable. Special
Investigations have been i~naugurated
with a view to di,iinctively delineate
in colors upon the atlas and maps of
the survey the arabic, grazing, mineral
and mountain sections OF the whole
region hitherto explored by the Wheel
er ex peditionS, covering since the year
1869 nearly 400 900 square miles. These
g X petitions have been sent out by the
Mar Department principally for the
purpose of gathering typographical
data for mapping the country ana in
~cidentally to report on the mineral,
agricultural and other u of the
region west of the one hundredth me-
ridian. and its geology, climate, etc.
Maps of a large portion of the area
have already been published. The
matured results of the survey are to be
published in seven quar,o volumes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81.
1t Is ascertained today that the Pres
ident has said II is his intention To sign
the bill providing for counting the cleo
toral vote in case it passes both Houses
of Congress.
Morton is announced to speak against
the counting bill in the Senate to-mor.
row.. The conviction is, however,
strengthened to-day that the bill will
ecu handsome majority in both
Houses, and there is no longer any
doubt that President Grant will ap.
prove it. A Republican member Of
the committee says the bill confers no
power on the proposed tripartite tri.
bunai to go behind the State returns,
and his only apprehension as TO the
result is in regard to the Oregon GER
~tifcates, which the tribunal, acting
under oath to consider only the Con-
~stitution and laws, may find INSULT
cient to show the appointment OF more
than two Presidential electors. Inthis
case of course the House will have the
power to elect the President and the
Senate to elect the Vice President.
WASHINGTON. Jan. %.
The consideration was resumed of
the bill regarding the counting of the
electoral vote and Morton took the
floor. He said the bill was a product
of the Mississippi plan. The shadow
of intimidation had invaded the Sen
ate Chamber. He believed Ruther-
ford b. Hayes had been elected Presi-
dent of the United States under the
forms of law and according to law,
and should be counted in as eighteen
other Presidents had been and inau-
gurated. There would be no revolu-

TIrE ELKo BOUNDARY.

AS will be seen by reference to u
Carson dispatches, the bill transferring
the Mineral Hill strip" to Eureka
county has passed the State Senate by
a vote of Is to Z. The bill that passed
was the one introduced by Mr.. Cassidy,
to which we alluded some -four days
ago, and which provides for a payment
of 81, 200 for the coveted territory. The
SENTINEL has so often referred to this
measure, and demonstrated its justice,
that we do not feel called upon to go
into its details. We do not anticipate
that the Governor will again veto the
bill, provided it pass the Assembly by
a majority proportloned to that attained
in the Senate. Governor Bradley is a
gentleman of strong convictions, who,
four years ago, influenced solely by
his own conclusions of right, vetoed a
measure similar to the one that has
Just passed the Senate; but we have
no doubt that he will recognize the
constitutional precedent that the veto
power is intended only as a guard
against hasty legislation, and should
not be exercised against the reiterated
expression of the peoples will. We
congratulate our Senators upon the
well-meriled success they have
achieved. We hope in a few days to
pay the same compliment to our AS
sembly men, and to congratulate the
people of Eureka upon the final ac-
oujrap,opt of a lOrO-withheld RIGHT.

We are grieved to learn from the
columns of Saturdays Enterprise that
Miles Quillan, the Treasurer of Lin
coin county, has been found to he a
defaulter in the sum Of $S,644 IA 100.
We were at first inclined to doubt the
report, for we were at a loss to con
ceive why the news should not have
been furnished US as we'll as the Vir-
ginia press. But the Enterprise gives
such details as to relieve the story of
all doubt. In commenting upon the
case. the Enterprise says:
ut is the old story. He did no,
mean to steal the money. Hethought
he could use funds which did not he.
long to him and with the profits make
himself more comfortable. He gam
bled and lost, and now, if he lives to
he as old as the hills now are around
Phoebe, he can not from the
act. He committed moral suicide for
less than $4,000"
1t then draws a parallel between this
case and that of Rhodes, who, some
years ago, distracted large sums
something over $50. 900, we believe
from the State Treasury, and very
properly draws the conclusion that
the only safety for o Ulcers having
charge of public funds is to hold such
funds absolutely sacred, and to use
no portion tor any private purpose
whatever. The article concludes with
the following anecdote of Jerry School
ing, which is so characteristic of the
man that we can not refrain from
quoting it entire:
"We happened, some three or four
years ago. to be stopping at the same
hotel with him in San Francisco. One
evening he asked US when we were
going to leave the city. Unanswered,
to. morrow He said: Il am 60
ing tomorrow also, and am going to
carry with me 100000 in gold notes
and bonds.' The next morning, go
ing into the Office of the hotel, we
heard him telling the clerk that he
would send the amount of his bill,
some $40, so soon as he reached home.
We said to him: you are here OH
State business. Why don't you pay
your bill with State money instead OF
carrying It home and sending it back ?,
The reply was Il might get killed
on the cars, and my accounts would
not balance We could not help tell
ing him that so big an old fool as he,
was never in any danger of being
killed. That old fool still lives, and
his name is Jerry Sch ooling. He has
very correct ideas of the duties of a
State Treasurer"
