War News.

Russia replied to Englands note, demand
ing withdrawal ofher outposts from territory
said to belong to Afghanistan, but the reply
was not satisfactory. Russia proposes the
boundary Ene between her possessions and
Afghanistan be the Parapamisus mountains,
and England insists that the Lessar line be
the farthercst limit War is deemed certain,
though it might be delayed for some months.
To avoid war Immediately, Russia must with
draw from territory now claimed by her; to
avoid collision later, her boundary commits
sioners must agree with those of England.
AT all events England does not look for
peaceful solution of the difficulties, and is
vigorously putting her army and navy on
war footing. A draft for troops has been
ordered, and large additional orders have
been placed for supplies for the army, while
naval vessels are being fitted and armed, and
the arsenaIs are being worked night and day.
Since tn; above was written hostilities have
begun, battle having been fought between
the Russians and Afghans on the banks of the
Kushk river. Although fought on March 30,
the news was only received on Thursday.
The Afghans, who numbered 1900, were de-
feated, with loss of 500 men, all their artil-
lery and their entire camp and provisions.
The Russians lost one officer and ten soldiers
killed, and twenty-four officers and men
wounded.
France and China have ceased hostilities in
Anam, and are trying diplomacy. Prelimi-
naries for peace have been signed, and China
has agreed to withdraw her troops from Tonk-
ing.
In Central America, Honduras refused to
Join Guatemala in the effort to establish by
force the FIVE Central American states into
one republic. President Barrios was killed
ia a disastrous battle fought last week with the
troops Of San Salvador, and itlooks as though
military operations will be soon ended.
Mckee has forwarded fifteen thousand troops
10 the Guatemala frontier, at the request of
the President of San Salvador.
On The Isthmus of Panama everything seems
to be going along quietly. This government,
in carrying out its treaty obligations made in
1s46, acted with promptness, and now has at
Aspinwall, or Colon, twelve hundred men and
one hundred officers, besides four or five war
ships. As the trouble there was caused by
per sons engaged in rebellion, sort of free
hooters, raids may be made at any time on
the railroad, though the troops of the United
States of Columbia are in readiness to repel
them.
In the Northwest Territory, where Riel and
his followers are in rebellion, the Canadian
troops are slowly and surely, we believe,
closing in on the insurgents. Every day
there are reports aid to Riel by the Fenians,
but so far there is no confirmation, and it is
said that the Indians and half-breeds are en-
deavoring to persuade the Indians of this
country to Join the Riel rebellion.

Miohigan Endorses Cleveland.

The first state election of 1885, after the
inauguration of new Administration, was
that in Michigan, which took place on Tues
day last The only state officers voted for
were Regents of the University and Judge of
the Supreme Court. The result was most
wonderful political revolution, and the Re-
publicans were beaten by $4,000. The Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers fused, and the Re-
pubIicans and Prohibitionists joined forces.
Though the Democrats won by fusion, they
beat the Republicans, who also were aided by
a fusion, and the Democratic platform pledged
the party to indorse Cleyeland's Administra-
ton by Michigan's vote at this election, and
to tender him the moral support OF majority
in the State 1t also declared against class
projections by tariff laws or by the extension
of corporate privileges, either by legislation
or judicial construction, in the future OF legis-
lation. The Republican candidate for Su-
preme Court Judge, Mr.. Justice Cooley, was
personally popular and jurist of great ability.
The contest was square one, in which local
matters played an infnitesimally small part.
Under these circumstances the victory was
great and overwhelming, especially when it is
considered that Garfield had $4,000 plurality
in 1880. Since then the Republican party has
disintegrated, and last fall Blaine pulled
through with about $500 plurality. That
small plurality was rubbed out last Tuesday,
and in its place stands boldly out majority
of 25, 900 pledged to support Cleveland and
his policy of honesty and reform.

Effect of the War News.

The battle between the Russians and Af-
ghans caused great excitement throughout
Europe and America. 1t is regarded as but
the beginning of fierce war between Russia
and England, and the stock and provision
markets were panicky in all commercial
centres.
In this country wheat went up six cents
bushel upon the receipt of the news of the
battle, and -four advanced twenty-five cents
barrel. Corn, pork and beef advanced also.
The war party in Russia is getting the upper
hand, and war is said to be unavoidable. If
so this country will be called upon to furnish
breadstuifs and provisions to the belligerents
and Europe in general. Even if France,
Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey are not
drawn into the conflict, they will keep large
standing armies and remain in readiness for
war. The nayies of all will be ahoat in force
to look after the commercial marine Of their
respective countries, and all governments will
need supplies beyond home production.
Heretofore France and England have been
large buyers of wheat from Russia. The sup
ply of wheat in the latter country has been
sold shorter than for some years past, and in
the event of war Russia will also be pur-
chaser. The stock ofwheat and corn in this
country on hand is enormous, being greater
than for some years past. The overproduc-
ton caused the price to decline, and growers
have held for rise. If rashness rather than
wisdom prevail on the part of Russia and
England, prices of grain, pork and beef will
go up to higher figure than for some years
past, especially as the crop outlook for 1885
in this country is not at all promising. In the
event of an European war this country would
have to clothe and feed Europe. Our manu-
featuring interests would receive a boom also,
and general prosperity would rule in this

In the past twenty years the United States
government has spent enough money on a
navy to have one of the best equipped navy
forces af6at, but we have practically nonaval,
as compared with the navies of other respec-
table governments. Admiral Jouatt, who is
in command of the United States forces at
Panama, had to be sent out in merchant
ship, with his colors in his grip-sack, and the
marines also had to to be- transported in the
same manner. Such state of affairs is hu-
initiating to the people. The money they
have paid in taxes to build navy has been
stolen and squandered under Republican ad-
miristrations, and now, with general war
imminent, when first t-class navy is neces-
sity, the government has but few available
ships to protect our commerce and other in
terests

The City Coroner of San Francisco, on
Sunday last, organized an anti Chinese pro-
cession, which, headed by two bands of music,
paraded the city. Before starting out the
Coroner harangued the crowd on the Chinese
evil. The result was that every Chinaman
who happened to cross the route of the pro-
cessionists was chased by them and i'll treated
if caught. Colonel Bee, the Chinese Consul,
said on Monday that twenty Cinnamon were
badly injured, many being severely cut about
the head, and one fatally injured. The origi-
nal intention of the Coroner was to parade
his band through Chinatown. Had he done
so the consequences may be imagined.

the basement of the church, in which Mr..
Stewart remains are said to lie, cost $780,,
600. The name of the church is taken as a
theme, and the stained glass windows, more
than seventy in number, the work of foreign
artists, illustrate the theme.

The ineumbents of the federal offices hold
on to the flesh pots with a tenacity that is
surprising. In times past, an intimation
merely that the resignation of an officer was
desired, was all that was needed to insure it.
But, in these days of official greed, a positive
demand for resignation is not sufficient to
secure vacation. Witness the case of Miss
Ada c. Sweet, pension agent of Chicago.
and the postmaster at Rome, N. Y. These
are but representatives of ali the rest. Twen-
ty-four years of official emolument does not
satisfy them; they still yearn for more. No
sense of delicacy or propriety aetuates them.
They are resolved to hold on until their grip
is broken and they are virtually kicked out of
Office. Miss Sweet and the Rome postmaster
both desired to remain in Office, the Senate
supporting the latter, though it was shown
that his Office had not been properly conduct
ed by an investigation made last winter, du-
ring Arthur's administration.
