THE Southern Pacific RAILROAD

Has already been of inesti- mable benefit to Arizona. It has reduced the cost of transportation very mate rially, and lessened the time of receiving goods at least one half, besides add ing greatly to the comfort and facility of travelling. With this record in the past, the prospect of a speedy extension of the same into the Territory is very encouraging for the future, as it will add very much to the prosperity and wealth of the whole coun- try.

THE EASTERN PROBLEM.

LONDON, June 27.-The clerk in the foreign
office has just been arraigned in theiPolce
court charged with having communicated the
memorandum of the agreement between Eng.
land and Russia to the Daily Globe.
VIENNA, June ga Berlin correspondent
states that until three days ago the proposal
for the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria was entirely disapproved by the
congress, but total change has occurred and
the powers are now resolved to empower Aus
tria to occupy those provinces.
The Presse says that Roumania having re-
fused large money indemnity for the retroces-
sion OF Bessarabia and also refused to divide
into two parts, the Russians now propose
through Bismarck that Princs Charles should
become the future prince of Bulgaria, this
was opposed by the Roumanian statesmen,
but they express the fear that Prince Charles
will accept.
LONDON, June Pit causes some surprise
and uneasiness at Vienna, that the represent
tatives of Turkey in the congress are not
showing the resistance expected. They have
hitherto merely stated their point and allo wed
1t to be overruled. One opinion is that they
are reserving their strength to resist all the
more energetically, if in the discussion of the
Greek question and the western provinces any
stipulated. Therefore in both the Greek and
Bosnian questions trouble is anticipated.
The dissatisfaction at Constantinope, at
the progress of affairs at the congress, is in
creasing.
BERLIN, June 27.-Dalegates from Bosnia
nave submitted to the congress a memorial
setting forth the wishes of their countrymen.
Among other things the memorial declares
bosnla,s objects to the prospect of Austrian
occupation and intimates that they would pre-.

The Dead Of the War.

According to the latest official reports the
total number Of deceased Union soldiers during
and in consequence of the war is put at BIG, 233.
OF these only 175,764, or something over one
half, have been identified and the rest will
probably be forever unknown. Of the grand
total 36,S6S are known to have been prisoners
OF war, who died in captivity. OF rebel prison
ers of war, the remains of 21, 1856 have been in
TERED. The statistics of losses on that side are
far less complete than on the Union side.
There are seventy-two national cemeteries for
the Union dead, besides 800 local and post
cemeteries: The largest of these are at Arling-
ton, Va, the former homestead of Gen, Robert
e. Lee, with 15,547 graves; Fredericksburg.

8,601 graves The National Cemetery, near
Richmond Va, has 6,276 graves, of which $3.50
are of unknown dead, mostly of prisoners.
The cemeteries are generally reported in good

ia, partly owing to large area, sparse popula-

Republican ballots to vote with, and for that
purpose many devices, such as designated COL
oTs, have been adopted, but have
always been countered by the active, un-
scrupulous and alert enemies, notwith-
withstanding the secrecy which Republican
leaders had heretofore adopted. On this last
occasion very small-sized ballot was adopted
as the Republican device, and the ballots were
sent by safe messengers to the several districts

the night before the election by the Republican

of the entertainment. He did this in Dayton,
