Millions for Defense,

The total sum which the Danish Government proposes spending upon the new Notifications of the country and upon the augmentation of its fleet amounts to SIS, ,5OO,OOO. The seaward defenses of Copenhagen are to be com pleted by the construction of two large coast batteries and of fort in an ad- vanced position in the Sound. On the land side, where the Notifications were razed some fifteen years ago, girdle of detached forts and batteries is to be completed, while arrangements will be made which will permit the country being inundated for a considerable dis tance. When the proposed Notifications are completed, however, the forces actually in Seeland, which consists of some 10000 trained men, will prove sufficient for the defense of Copenhagen, at all events until some friendly or in- terested power can come to the assis- tance of Denmark.

FOrtifying.

The new Notifications of Strasburg will be completed during the present spring. An idea of their enormous ex- tent may be formed from the following figures: They enclose on the left bank of the Rhine, besides the town and suburbs, twelve Alsatian villages, and on the right bank four other villages, with total superficial area of over ST. 900 acres. The distance of the advanced forts from the town is from three to five miles, and the average diameter of the entire works nine miles. The total cost is put down at $5, 100000.

trance within one after another of the
five iron doors, and of talking with the
mother superior through the thick swath.
ing Of Q wooden veil, but ordinary com.
munication with the convent is carried
on through the "barrel," which fills an
opening in the wall. Over the barrel is
written: "Who will live contented with.
IN these walls let her leave at the gate
every earthly care" You knock at the
barrel, which turns slowly around till it
shows section like that of an orange
from which one OF the quarters has been

asks your will; and she answers you in
good italian and cultivated ,ntonation.

which seems to say: "Help us! we are

nothing eatable. but you place on the

set, some money, demanding in return
their "cartolina," or little papers. The

again, and you find on the ledge where

has been gathered to the majority the
flower is not threwn, and the veil has
fallen forever.

The bill to open up the reservation of
the Turtle Mountain Indians in Dakota
has been referred to the committee on
the judiciary of the senate with instruc-
tions that the committee shall investi-
gate the question Of the title of these
Indians to those lands. Mr.. Mcmillan,
Of the committee, is in favor Of report
ing that the Indians have no good title
to tho lands. Mr.. Pettigrew is awaiting
. decision Of Secretary Teller on his
point. Mr.. Teller seems inclined to rule
against the Indians, but if he should not
there is strong probability that the
question of title will be settled by con-
gress and that the country will be opened
up immediately.
