These figures do not vary much from
the actual returns made by Sir Garnet
WoIseley in his article in the Nineteenth
| Century magazine. The Indian army
besides TIE 62,652 regulars above enum'
Grated, comprises q native army OF regu-
lars of 1878 men, and a combined
native amy under the command Of
hereditary cbieftains of $4,000 men and
{, 800 guEs.
Great Britain in case Of war, could,
besides the above forces, control the army
of Egypt of $4,000 men, and in case OF
stress and danger could recruit 100000
men in her various colonies all around
the world.
NAVIES or THE GREAT POWERS,
The English navy is, of course, the
most powerful in the world. OF first
class battle ships she has the Inhexible,
l1,lG5 tons and four Sl-ton guns, with
from 16 to q inches of armor plate;
the D~readnaught, l0,9j0 tons and four
80 ton guns, II inches rnlor plate
Devastation, 9,l90 tons and four 35,tOn
guns, II to IA inches armor plate; Thun,
derer, 5000 tons and two 3S-ton and two
So ton guns, and eleven other iron clads
ranging from 9 to 1000 tons, and all
armed with the heaviest ordnance.
Germany has six battle ships; France
eight, and Russia two, while Turkey has
eight, built in Great Britain and splen
didly equipped. This fleet is now in
Greek waters. commanded by an English
man, Hobart Pasha, and, it is thought
will be turned over to England at the
proper time.
Austria has seven battle ships, and
Italy two, the Duillo aud Dandolo, the
heaviest armor plated vessels in the
world, % inches, each with four l0O'ton
guns, and 1860 tons displacement
--periect leviathans of the sea. Russis
has one II inch vessel and one l2inct
vessel which rank only with the second

The fighting power on the sea OF Russia
Austria, Germany and Italy combined
would not be equal to that of Great
Britain and Turkey, or of England alone
leaving France out OF the combination

II p. m. at the breakwatcr. At 8p. M. on
the 3Oth. tho vessel started heavy leak
in the rudder case. The master finding he
could not gain on the leak with the pumps,
concluded to Tighten the steamer by throw

pump gave OUT at3 II. m. a heavy sea board

of the forward saloon, letting in a large
quantity of water below. The ship was
completely unmanageable. Finding nothing
could be done for the vessel, the captain
attempted to reach the beach to save the
lives. At o'clock he made the beach. At
that time the fires were out and the engine
stopped. He set all head sale to drive her
to the beach. The surf was very violent.
At o'clock he passed word for all hands to
prepare themselves with life-preservers.

a man on horseback made his appearance
on the beach, waving his hat and promising
assistance. At 1890 p. M, the life-saving
service made their appearance, but came
poorly provided to save life; all the assist

RAIDED BY ROBBERS.
The Santa Fe Train Attacked by Bandits,

A daring attempt to rob passenger
train on the Atchison. Topeka K Santa Fe
railroad was made Sunday morning. Be-
tween three and four o'clock five armed and
masked men entered the station at Kinsley
Kan, capturing A. Kinkade, the night oper-
ator, who was ordered to open the safe.
This he refused to do, although his life wac
threatened. The st-bound express train
arrived at this time, and the operator by u
desperate effort broke loose and ran to the
hotel near by, arousing the inmates. A
yOlley of pistol shots was fired into 1t, and
as the train stopped conductor j. W. NAL
lory was met by two of the robbers, who
presented pistols to his head and ordered
him into the baggage car. He stepped in
and closed the door, instantly starting the
train by pulling the bell cord. Mallory and
the baggage master then medthemseves
withth carbines clrried In the ear, and
stopped the train after running about a
mile from the station. They went back in
to the coaches with their arms, but found

was at once organized, and started in pur-
suit and are only two or three miles behind
the robbers, A second party started at 1880
with fresh horses and provisions, and the
chances are good that the robbers will be
captured. The Superintendent Of the road
also sent request to the commanding OH
Ger at Ft Dodge for party of soldiers to
join in the pursuit. An answer has been
received that squad of cavalry has been
sent out with wagon of supplies. Present
indications are that Kinsley is an un-
healthy location for train robbers. At 3:45
p. M, one of the pursuing party returned
with the report that the robbers had cross
ed the Arkansas river, about nine miles
west Of Kinsley.

Wheat-A nervous unsettled feeling pre-
vailed during the past week, attended with
more or less fluctuations in values, though
closing quotations throughout our home
markets show no material alteration from
prices week ago. Rumors OF an armis-
tlce between Russia and Turkey have not yet
been confirmed, so that the same anxiety
that existed week ago still exists, respect
ing the probable contingencies that may
arise before final adjustment Of the COM
plications of the war is effected.
In the majority OF French and English
markets, prices are higher, while We note
the farmers deliveries in England and
Wales, which for the first week of the pres
cnt year had reached the minimum OF tho
past ten years for the same time, are mate

Imports into Great Britain, with "hOme
deliveries scarce exceed demand for
home consumption, and Liverpool stocks
are gradually being reduced. Prices at the

Britain were but one penny a bushcl greater
