BELGRADE, March 2.
Forty-one respectable citizens have
been imprisoned at Simindar, and a
number at Paratschin and Jagodina

sinate Prince Milan on his homward

ROME, March ..
1t is said the Pope intends TO dismiss
the Pontitical Gen de Arms and Swiss
Guards. He will probably reside
mostly in Castle Gandalfo, a village
Ia miles southeast of Rome, in order to
he away from the Italian Government.

LONDON, March 2.
The Times says that the
ments in Parliament yesterday even.
ing will be welcomed as revivlng some
hope of a peaceful settlement of the
Eastern question. Lieutenant Cen
eral McDougall, Chief of the Intelli-
gence Department of the Wa Office,
will in May take charge of the forces in
Canada. 1t is understood hat in the
event of war General McDougall will
have authority TO raise 10, 600 Canadi-
ans for service in Eastern Europe.
Vice Admiral Inglefield will in MAY
assume command of the fleet on the
North American and West Indian sta
tons. All officers on leave received
orders yesterday to hold themselves
in readiness to rejoin their regiments
and departments Immediately on re-
ceipt of telegraphic notice.
There is no doubt that the English
Ministry take a gloomy view OF the
prospects of peace, although it may be
confidently stated that they are terrified,
not at the known. but at the unknown
developments of the future.
A Times correspondent has assur-
ances from a high conservative authori-
ty, that Russia IS playing a diplomatic
game, whose purpose IL is To satisfy
either Austria or England, so as to
have but opponent in case OF hos
~tilities. The effort to isolate one or the
other of these Powers has already
taken effect.
A Constantinople special says great
excitement and uneasihess Is felt re-
speeding Russian designs upon the
Bosphorus. They can occupy Chanak
forts at a moments notice. Move
menus, the ouJtctS VI Nhich are iot
apparent, are still progressing. The
position of the British ships at Tuzl. is
regarded as critical, owing to the short
II for torpedo boats from Lelk Medic
or San Stefano. 1t is strongly suspected
that T%hornecrait torpedo boats and
Whitehead torpedoes are being dis
patched to the Sea of Marmora in sec
tons. The Russians occupy CharkoI,
Rodosto. Eregli. Silivri and Tchmedje,
all of which are admirably suited as
bases for torpedo operations. should it
be decided to menace our fleet. Pre-
cautions are taken nightly to guard the
vessels against surprise.

THE San Francisco Stock Report per-
petrates the following outrage at the
expense of a gentleman we'll known in
Eureka and Eastern Nevada: Jerry
Moore, who is, on the authority of the
Nevada Tribune, a popular Elko poll
tician, has arrived at Carson, and the
same paper says "he is as gay and
festive as a mountain RAM" Be more
explicit, Deacon. The tenor of the
paragraph does not lead us to infer that
he seemed sheepish; he had not been
in Carson long enough to be tieeced even
if you could fleece a politician, and a
Nevada ex-Assemblyman will be any
thing but lamb like when he is merely
a spectator where he VAS once a par
ticipator. Perhaps he seemed just a
little rampageous, Ell?

For the first time since the war the
pension roll begins to show, instead of
a constant increase. a slight diminu-
ton, and if there be no further legisla-
ton granting additional pensions, there
will be a steady decrease hencefor-
ward. There were paid for pensions
last year SIS, 2,6s3. The number of
widows and orphans on the roll is
lO3, 1881; the number OF invalid and
disabled soldiers, l2S, 723. This class,
depleted only by death, maintains its
numerical strength; but the ema
riage of widows and the arriving at the
age of sixteen years Of children, will
speedily reduce the number OF widows
and orphans on the rolls.

Con. virSiaSa to suspend Two DOL
lar Dividends.

VIRGINIA CITY, New, March 2.
The Chronicle of this evening will
publish the following: In his last an
nual report Colonel Fair stated it would
be necessary, in a few months, to sus-
pend ore hosting from the Console
dated Virginia mine for some time,
while the shaft and main drifts OF the
mine were being repaired. From pres
ent appearances, that time is close at
hand, as the shaft has become SO trou-
hlesome as to endanger the lives of all
who pass up and down it, and it will
soon be necessary to stop work alto
gether through hat shaft until it has
been thoroughly repaired. In view of
this state of affairs, it is very likely
that two-dollar dividends upon Con
solidated Virginia shares must be dis
continued for a time, until the shaft
shall have been repaired. The Ophir
and G and G shafts are in good work
ing condition, but they are not equal to
the raising of a quantity of ore suth
cient to pay two-dollar dividends on
the shares of both the bonanza mines.
The hosting arrangements of the Cali
fornia Company will not be interfered
with, so that the usual monthly divid
end OF 81 per share may he looked for
from that company, but the quantity
of ore extracted from the Consolidated
Virginia mine must be reduced at least
one half, and the dividends must, of
necessity, be reduced in the same pro.
portion. FROM the present outlook,
the Consolidated Virginia Company
can not declare more than one or two
two dollar dividends before it will be
forced to reduce them to one dollar.

ahead. At the turn, Jake's rider CIV
ing him the whip and spur. Jake
closed up to Mollie's quarters, but

Mollie crossed the score in 1851, six
lengths ahead, winning the race and
money.
