AMoSG the men who are really over
worked in this period of inactive political
suspense are the unfortunate fellows who
are compelled to get up encouraging head
lines for the Republican papers. In some
instances. where they are gifted with
soaring imaginations their success is pretty
fair, but when they attempt to stick othe
cold and unrelenting facts, and at the
same time hold out hopes to their readers,
the effect is little less than melancholy.
Most Of the headline writers, however,
are paying but little attention to the tele-
grams received and are sailing in on gen
eal principles. The effect is encouraging
to the Blaine people until the dispatches
are read and then the wearied reader
turns away in bitter disappointment and
deep disgust.

The cholera which is now nvaging por-
tons ofParis and other French cities not
heretofore infected, presents many of the
same p~eculiafities q. DO disease as upon
its last visit to this counser. Its yirulence
then was not confined TO the poorer and
tlthier portions of the Guy. but ON the
contrary. the epidemic found its
strongest lodging place in the
best drained and cleanliest aristocntic
quarters. In many instances the grim
visitor skipped from one wealthy portion
Of a city to another, avoiding the slums
along the direct route, and did its deadli-
est execution in places where the very
perfection of sanitation was supposed to
have been attained. So far it appears
that the present attack in Paris is not Of
the same deadly type of disease as that
which scourged Marscilles and Toulon dur
ing thel Summer and while it seems to
spread with alarming rapidity yet it does
not appear probable that the same fatality
will attend the present visitation.

They say that tie testimony is 50 conflicting as to lead to the belief that wilfuI per- Jury was practised hy some of the wit aesses, and in conclusion find that, ''lgliiie the evidence against Star-route contractors and public officials was strong and conclusive as to tLeir guilt. and that tbe government was de- fraused of large sums of money, and tAat large sums were also expended to secure indictments and convictions, yet no person was convicted or pun ished, and DO civil snits have as yet been instituted to recover the vast sums illegally and fraudulently ob- tained from the public treasury.

The fire is supposed tohaye originated from tbe combustion of chemicals in the cellar of q drug store in Cohen s building. The flames were arrested by Jhe destruction of an intervening building. by powder. otherwise, 1t Is probable the entire block would have been consumed. Had a wind pre- vailed the damage would have been much greater, and probably resulted ip the destruction of the greater part ef She city, which was without ap- pIiaEces for extinguishing fires, with the exception of an aute-diluvian ma chine scarcely capable of throwing enough water to wet a ducks back.

InPeRTAET EXPRESSION to AaP. R.

Col. H. c. Mutt, President of tue Atlantic < Pacific R. E. Co. was, on his return from the west in Albuquer- que, on the 9th, and was met by a com mittee of the Board of Trade. The Colonel was explicit in regard to the extension of the A. 6 P road fifty miles east from that place to certain coal fields. providing, however, that the coal proved to be in sufficient quantities and of as good eoking qnal- isy as would render 1t desirable for tue road to reach. He at once tele- graphed for his expert in coal, whom lie said would be in the coal region within two weeks from the date of fis dispatch.
 This eastern extension is on the direct line of the Atlantic < Pacific from the Mississippi river to the Pa cife Ocean, and the designated point, Tileras canyon, where the coal lies, Is on their location notice on file in the Interior Department in Washington. Should thls coal prove valuable, as ex- pected, for the reduction of ores, it will be an additional incentive fer the building of the Arizona Mineral Belt road from point on the A. & Ps 10 Globe to which Col Mutt Is re- ported as lending his influence with view to its construction.

ExeLAND,s NAVAL STRENGTH.

The discussion which has been going on through the press in England as to the condition and strength of that na- tion Is navy. as compared with those of other foreign powers. particularly of France and Italy, has caused wide spread alarm in Great Britain, and given rise to grave doubts as to her ability to longer hold supremacy on the high seas. 1t has always been taken for granted that the English fleet was more than a match for the combined fleets of any other two pow CTS, but in the last 9 CT 30 years France and Italy have been grad gially strengthening their nayies. until they now rank among the leading na- val powers of the world. having the most powerful iron-clads ahoat and well disciplined crews. England's possessions are 50 widely scattered, that in order to protect them. her war ships would have to be dispersed all over the world. and would be found entirely inadequate for that purpose.
 The extensive use of torpedoes in naval warfare and coast defence makes the value of fleets and the relative maritime strength of the great powers vesy uncertain. It Is not probable that England viii any longer be able to hold naval supremacy, which has heretofore been accorded her.

He found Major Barter lying upon cot, and. while demanding the reasons for the attack upon his character, he raised his cane and brought down heavy blow aimed at Barters head. but which was waraed of.
