sincTease OF the present reduced force,
which ia able to perform all the work
required.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
A belief that The President Will Recom,-
mend it to Congress.
IN. Y. Times.l
A few Southern men now in Washing
ton are very confident that President
Hayes will recommend q Texas and
Pacific subsidy in his message to Con-
gress. President Hayes has been life
long believer in the old Whig theory of
encouraging internal Improvements,
and will undoubtedly favor every plan
looking to the development Of the re-
sources Of the country; but that he has
made up his mind to recommend to
Congress either a subsidy to or the in
dorsement Of the bonds Of any railroad
company no one has as yet any author
ity to assert.
STUDYING THE ART OF WARFARE.
Gen. Crook TO Visit Europe to study
Warfare.
tOhicago Times.1
It is rumored in military circles, ap-
rarently with good foundation, that
Brigadier Gen. Crook, now that the
Sioux war is terminated, will be sent to
Europe to observe the Tureo- Russian
war. at the head of the United States
military commission. Gen. Crook has
seen uninterrupted service during the
rebellion and on the frontier for more
than twenty years, and his appointment
to the position referred to would be re-
garded as a just recognition Of his ser
vices.
TWEED TO BE RELEASED THURSDAY.
His Rcvenge OH Gould for Refusing Loan.
[0lnclnnah Z ,1uirer.]
It is now stated positively by friends
later than Thursday next. He says he
will remain In New York until the At
torney General has made every use of
him as witness for the State, and then
that he will leave New York forever. It
is not believed, however, that he will
live very long after his release. His
physician is in daily attendance upon
him, and even the last few months i'm
prisonment have told greatly upon him.
He seems to have determined to make
confession only in desperation at the
thought OF dying in prison, as well as at
the desertion Of oil his fair weathe
friends. 1t is stated on positive author
ity that he lately made application to
dollars, but was refused, and that his
confession will deeply implicate Gould
in reference to transactions in the Leg
islature and courts touching Erie. It is
| now believed that the Attorney General
will not publish the confession, but use
it only as its contents affect pending
suits.

this State for the statement that Stanley
Matthews, the chief body-guard OF
Hayes, recently said that Benjamin FL.

Waite was in the way, SO Noyes was
given the French mission.
RIFLED CANNON.
Our Navy to be Furnished with Better
Guns.
New York Tribune.1
During the past eighteen months the
Ordnance Bureau of the Naval Depart
ment has had thirty-one Of the old
smooth bore eieven-inch guns con-
verted into eight inch rified guns, by
lining them with steel tubes, but the
work will soon be suspended for want OF
funds. These guns will be placed
on the largest ships which
may be fitted out during the next
out this year, as there is no money avail
able for such purpose. The government
has nearly 1000 OF old smooth bore guns
on hand, many Of which can be con-
verted in to efficient rifled guns il Con-
gress will make the necessary appro-
priation, The work of converting those
above mentioned has been done at the
Cold Spring Foundry, opposite West
Point, N. Y, and at the South Boston
Iron Works. The only American ves-
sci now armed with ritled guns Is the
Trenton, flagship OF the European
| squadron.
