GENERAL NEWS NOTES.


Gen. H. NJ. B. Young Of Georgia, consul
general at st. Petersburg, is in Washington,
having returned to this country on three
months leave Of absence. In IN interview
be gives an interesting account oil Russlan
military. operations and movements. Gen.
Young served in congress from 1868 to
1876, and was the first Of the so-called
"brigadiers" to be admitted to the house
Of ofrepresentatives alter the war.
There il, said he, constant and untiring
work going on among the Russian army OF.
6csrs, psriecting the troops in drill and
equipment and they are making W wonderfui
progress. The Russian army is as cem-
plete military organization as the world
has ever seen. All branches OF the service
have the most modern arms, and are
thoroughly drilled in their actual use. In
twenty-four hoars Russia could have
an army Of 625, 900 men on the move and
in q month could so add to it that she
could have l. 500, 900 men ready for &C.
ton, and they would be soldiers, too, not
raw recruits, for Russia has = reserve OF
men who really belong to the army, but
are not under pay. In this way Russia is
enabled to keep up such q powerful milisar
ry establishment. She has thorough sol
diers in her reserve, and they cost her moth
ing, except when she calls them out to fight.
don't think Russia wants India. dom t
believe she would for moment seriously
consider the question OF fighting England Tor
India. The reason for her attitude on the
Afghan frontier issimply because she wants
to let England know that she must not in.
teriere with Russia. Her position with re-
gard TO India is simply a menace to Eng.
land. Russia does not want Afghanistan
either. Hshe did all she would have to
do would be to take il. What Russia ID
working for on the frontier 10 the friend
ship OF the ameer. That potentate is now
England's friend, and Russia is undermine
ing that country's influence with him. She
does want Constantinople, and will get it in
time. Russia has between so, 600 and 80,
900 men between Merv and the Caspian
sea, and can handle them rapidly. Those
troops are simply perfect"

stood the famous Raleigh tavern, but
hardly vestigc of the building was to
be seen. Here it was that burgess and
professor, student and cavalier used to
meet and, over the wine, discuss Eu-

England, and their own and everyone

submitted his biennial report, which is
epitomized as follows:
There were 10 graduates in 1885, % in
1886; total graduates since 1873, 273.
There were admitted in 1S84-85. 73 stu.

to make me regret the presence
here OF both gentleman and ladies.

FRANK BAD MANNERS.
What American Hosts May Expect
from English Guests.

What American Hosts May Expect
from English Guests.
Yes, agree with you that English
people are capable. somehow, of the
frankest bad manners in the world.
Have you read any of the funny stories
flying about that English couple tour
ing among us while ago-Mr. and
Mrs. They are both. you know,
public characters, both literary, learn
ed in their gooves, madame asthetic.
monsieur reverend. philanthropic, and
a musical enthusiast.
A musical friend of mine met them
and was sufficiently fascinated by their
converse to mediate inviting them to
spend some days at her house. She
mentioned this project to the lady who
was entertaining them. Il have no
doubt you would make visit charming
to them," the lady replied. ''but be-
fore you ask them. think I ought, in
hospitable as it seems, to give you some
slight account of our experience ss
hosts"
This visit to us was to begin at lunch
time. 1t was almost the hour for that
meal when Mr., from whom they
were coming to us, drove hastily to our
door. Have Mr.. and Mrs. reach
cd here yet?" were almost his first
words. #*

"Well we're at an utter loss what to
do. They left us this morning with no
word as to their luggage. their trunks
are standing open in their rooms, moth
| ing packed up, even their toilet appa-
tus scattered about. Are we to have
them packed, do you suppose?''
Just then our guests came. Saluta-
tions over, .,Are our. boxes Gomez"
demanded madame. Mr.. inter-
posed II have just driven here to ask
about them. As they were open. and
nothing packed. we did not under.
stand your intention about them"
Why" returned his lady guest. Il
expected your valet would pack my
husbands things and your wife's maid
attend to mine. y
Every good returned Mr.. -
''The luggage shall come at once. He
has no valet, and his wife no maid. but
somebody packed the boxes and speed
ed them here.
At breakfast next morning we had
nnholted wheat gems. Both our guests
declined them, but Mr.. - looked very
ouriously to SEQ what we should do
with them. When one was broken
open-"Why, they're not meat,'' he
exclaimed.
"Oh. no. they're hot bread made o.
unbolted flour" we said.
"Aw! then IN try .one," he remark
ed. II think it very stupid to travel
in foreign country and shun all the
oddities one encounters! Take one. my
dear. he added presently to his wife;
"they re not so bad as they look"

large one. Some of it was grilled for
supper, and next day we had

Farmers Not Pledged to Anybody.

The executive committee of the State
Farmers alliance held a meeting in st.
Paul the 23d and issued the following Of
fetal address:
To the Farmers Of Minnesota: We,
the undersigned members of the exc
cutive committee of the State Farm
ers' Alliance OF the State OF Min
nesota, having met and carefully examined
the candidates nominated by the Republic
can and Democratic conventions, deem 1t
best to make no recommendations about
the support OF either; but we do most ear.
nestly recommend that the farmers OF the
state exert themselves to the utmost to
pledge to the support OF our measures and
elect the best men to be found in their re-
spective districts to the legislature.
Turn out to your caucuses. Send
your best men to the conventions,
and nominate your best men Tor
the legislature regardless OF party, and
then 60 to work and elect them. The
Farmers alliance of this state is gaining
strength daily, and the subordinate al.
liances are working together in peace and
harmony. Meet often in your alliances,
and work earnestly and always Tor the
election OF those men only whose character
and actions are proof positive OF their
honest intentions to uphold the principles
Of our order.
The address is signed by George w.
Sprague, E. II. Atwood, Eric Olson. c.

Mr.. Jordan, treasurer OF the United
States, referring to the alleged threat OF
several national banks to withdraw from
the national banking system, said:
You can rest assured that no bank will
carry out that threat; first, because the
situation for them is not at all stringent
and they are in no danger OF being driven
to the wall or even cramped by these bond
calls; second, because there are no state
laws under which these banks can reorgan-
ize profitably. II any OF the states had
laws under which these banks could issue
currency there might be some temptation
for them to 60 out ofthe system, although
l doubt il their circulation would be ac-
cepted generally then. / am inclined to be.
lieve that these banks would not for good
deal lose the status as national banks for
the reason that mush Of their business
would 60 to- the remaining national
banks. This would be especially the case
with small depositors, whose suspicious
are easily aroused, and to whom the word
national in a banks title has always
seemed great protection for their small
Investments. Again, money now COM
mands 5 and 6 per cent. and the banks
cannot afford to retire their circulation
when it is as valuable as that. There was
never a time when the banks were making
SO much money as now. If money was as
cheap as it was months ago there might be
some sense in these reports, but it is non
sense now.

SPARKS NINETY PER CENT.
s'FrauduIent EntrieS-PatentS Order
cd in 5,7SA Entries out Of 1000
Examined.

Eighteen months after his famous order
of April s. 1885, Mr.. Sparks board OF re.
view has succeeded in clearing up the
homestead entries delivered by that en-.
thusiasGc mistake, and to-day directed
that patents be issued in 5,784 entries
These also include number of pre-emp-
ton entries; but there are still a large
number of timber culture and pre-emp-
ton entries to be passed upon before
patents are granted. What suffering, in
convenience, not speaking merely OF I'M
just delay, this action has caused the
"poor settler" for whom the commission
er claims to be doing SO much, only the
annals of every quarter section in Dakota
can tell, for that territory is made to suf-
fer the burden Of an order which Sparks
claims was made to strike rather against
the great "alleged" land stealing corpo-
rations in Wyoming or timber depreda-
ting scoundrels'' of Montana and Cali
fornia.
The patents on delayed entries il the
southwest recommended for issue by the
board of review are distributed as follows:
Kansas Kirwin, 1S2, Wa-Keeney, 2l3;
total, 395.
Nebraska-Lincoln, 90; Neigh, 90:
North Platte, 80; total 129.
And it may be reiterated that Mr..
Sparks has asserted that 80 per cent. or
200 of the $4,000 of the suspended en-
tries were FRAUDULENT. This was preached
and emphasized upon the floor of con-
gress. The 5,7S4 entries above mention
ed were approved out of less than 1900
entries passed upon by the board. Of
the 1900 held up, the majority was
simply laid aside for further investiga-
ton by the special agents, and not for
This has been about the
proportion of further suspensions ON the
three previous patches passed upon by
the board, and it begins to look as if Mr..
Sparks were not well informed when he
made bis well known allegation.
