WAsHINoToN, Sept. %. "A statement
regarding tue safe robbery in the Office
Of the second auditor OF the Treasury
Department, obtained from official
sources to-day, shows that during the
war when men enlisted and were enti-
tied to bounty money, some Of their val

stations, TO be forwarded 10 them when
they were reported a: the front. This
Vas done TO prevent bounty jumping. -
In some cases the men deserted. Ma
turally they put in no claim 20 what had
been retained from them ut the rendez-

that no application has been male for

ply of available food in the soil, as
when a weakly young growth is to be
helped along, or Indian corn is to be
favored little at the time of its most
rapid development; or it may be profit
ably applied to a crop that requires an
unusually large quantity of ash in
gradients, like tobacco. The Garden
says of the use of this manure in gar
dens, when wood and foliage are desired,
It should be applied as soon as the
buds begin to swell, but should not be
continued beyond August; for the pro-
duction of fine flowers it should be ap-
piled when the flower buds begin to
develop; for fruit, as the season for
ripening approaches the supply should
be gradually withheld, or the fruit will
be too watery.
On a large scdle.-Conditions of sue
cess in liquid manuring more extern
sively are well summed up in a report
made some time since to the Prussian
Minister of Agriculture: A location
where milk farming is profitable, and
brewery or distillery residues, roots
and green fodder can be largely used,
producing watery manure, and where
straw for absorbent purposes is not
easily procured. A sufficient flow OF
water from some spring or stream to
dilute the manure and supply de-
ficiencies in rain fall. A sandy loan
suitable for the growth of Italian rye
grass. A high location for the yard
with respect to at least portion Of the
farm, so as to provide for the distribu-
ton of the manure by gravity and with
out the necessity of pumping to higher
levels.-PTof g. G. CaldlOeU, in ~ Y

Modern English Warfare.

Mr.. Frederic Harrison, in an article
on martial Law in Cabul," printed in
the December number of the Fortnight
ly ReUielO, thus characterizes modern
English warfare: Sin spite of the con-
spicuous GOODNESS and generosity of our
soldiers the fact remains that they never
meet their equals or a civilized foe. A
generation has passed since English
men met in fight with men, and then
those were hardly of European civili-
zation. They never fight under the
conditions and rules of modern war.
They hardly ever fight with foe whom
they treat as an honorable foreign ene-
my. They are forever engaging in
battles of black skins, red skins, brown
skins, 'niggers,' or savages of some
kind. Their enemy are almost always
'rebels,' or mutineers,' or 'insur.
gents or 'marauders,' with whom
they do not pretend to hold the conven-
tional laws of warfare. Our officers,
therefore, are almost always partly ex.
ecutioners, and partly criminal police,
as well as soldiers. They not only use
their swords, but they have ever in
their train ropes and halters, gibbets
and cats, and all the apparatus of a
Russian army in Poland. They seldom
fight without killing prisoners in cold
blood after all resistance has ceased.
They blow them from guns by platoons,
they hang them from the first tree, they
shoot them in squads, they fog them
by scores, they burn villages Wholesale,
their men knife wounded men Cat least
they boast that they do), they hold
drumhead courts-martial on priests and
officials, they proclaim martial law at
their own free will"

The little Republic of San Marino,
which, by the mouth of one of it's most
prominent officers, gave an indignant
denial few weeks ago to the assertion
that it intended authorizing the intro
duction of gaming-tables, is inclosed in
the kingdom of Italy. 1t is bounded on
the north, east and south by the prov
ince of Forli, and on the west by that
of Pesaro. Its territory covers eighty
two square kilometres (about thirty
three square miles). The population
numbers $500 souls, and the capital,
San Marino, has 1900. 1t is perched
on the summit of mountain called
Mount Titan, or the Giants, which some
times leads to this little State being
termed the Titanic Republic. Its orr
gin dates from several centuries back,
and for heraldic bearings it has the
following: Argent, three strong towers;
asure, on three rocks of the same; three
curved flame gules issue from the
towers and crown them. The motto is
Libertas." The escutcheon is sur
rounded by flags, and surmounted by a
crown, indicating a sovereign State.
The republic has an order of chivalry,
created in 1889, under the name of Or
der of San Marino. 1t consists of q
Greek cross with towers at the four
angles, and in the center medallion
with the arms of the republic surmount-
ed by princely crown closed, and sus-
pended to striped blue-and-white rib
bon. These are the national colors. In
1896, Bonaparte, after defeating the
Austrians, sent the celebrated Mathe-
matician, Mongo, to compliment the
free mountaineers and make them
offers of aggrandizement, butthey very
politely and very prudently declined.
When Italy became a kingdom, Napo-
leon desired to preserve this small State
intact. " 1t is rare sample of Re-
public to preserve" said the Emperor.
In 1848, Garibaldi, driven from Rome
by General Oudinot, took refuge in San
Marino, forbidding his soldiers to do
any harm TO the inhabitants. Victor
Emmanuel not only respected the lib
erty and institutions of this little coun-
try, but always showed it great sympa-
thy. In 1862 a treaty of customs And
commerce was concluded between Italy
and the Republic. San Marino owes
its foundation to hermit of that name,
born in Dalmatia in the fourth century,
and who went TO Italy TO work as
mason at the rebuilding of the walls OF
Rimini. Marino afterwards took ref
uge in the midst of the woods of Mount
Titan, and constructed there a cabin in
which he ended his days.

Lodgings of the Working People of st.
Petersburg.

The official report recently made to
the Russian Government respecting the
lodgings of the working people of St.
Petersburg is full of curious facts.
There are in that city 1900 lodging
places of but one room, and the aver
age number of residents of each Of
these rooms is from four to five persons.
Rooms of this class are mostly cellars
below the water level, damp and un-
wholesome. There are about 5000
lodgings in which each corner of the
room is assigned to different occupants,
and sometimes room is divided into
six, or even eight, corners for as many
persons. In many of these places
whole families, including husbands,
wives, and children, are to be found.
In st. Petersburg, also, there are many
thousand workingmen who lodge at
night on floors of the factories in which
they work by day. The sufferings of
the people here referred to, during the
severe winters of st. Petersburg, are
easily seen by studying the official re-
port that contains these statistics.
