SOMEWHAT PREVIOUS.

The European Powers, Looking Upon War
ms q Certainty, Are Already Engaged In
Disposing of Their Conquests-The Rus
sian Rifle Factories Running Night and
Day.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The report that
France and Russia had virtually agreed
that in the event of a victory over Ger
many they would have Schlesweig con-
veyed to Denmark, has caused consid-
erable comment in Berlin, where the
war feeling has been mounting high for
some days past. The rumor. however,
called public attention to other
rumors OF similar nature regarding
the triple alliance. 1t was stated re-
Gently, on high authority at Vienna,
that one of the unwritten arguments of
the triple alliance was, in the event of
continental war, to disable Russia for
ever, by divesting the empire of
Poland, Finland and the Baltic
provinces, and compelling the czar
to abandon st. Petersburg for
Moscow, France at the same time
to be compelled to give up Nice and
Corsica to Italy. These arrangements
are understood to be merely provision
al, but the fact that they are talked of
shows the deliberate way in which Eu-
ropean nations are preparing for the
great struggle. t
The Russian rifle factories are rum
ming night and day on the new breach
loading repeating rifles, and which it is
proposed to arm the infantry and re-
serve. The greatest diligence is
shown in the manufacture. but it is
believed that at least two years
will elapse before the entire military
force of the empire will be provided
with the weapon. This would not pre-
vent Russia from going to war in the
meantime, as not less than 600, 900 men
will have the rife within this year.

The Worst Yet to Come.

New YORK, Aug. 25. At 1890 a. m.
the sum total of the bodies recovered
from the ruins was thirty-four. The
number positively identified is twenty
and the number reported missing
eighty-eight- This would indicate that
122 persons lost their lives by the col
lapse of the building.
The worst part Of the tragedy is yet
to come, as evidenced by a fearful
stencil which indicates unknown hor-
rors and an almost inestimable number
of bodies buried underneath the weight
of rubbish and machinery.

ELK MOUNTAIN, Dec. l4-There is a
good deal of snow up here IN the noun
tains, and indeed everyone likes to see
snow on Christmas day.
John Hughes and Big Mike came down
from Gold Hill a few days ago and report
work up there paying well. All the
miners intend staying all winter and are
getting supplies for the winter.
A. Blstorious, a general storekeeper at
this place. is selling out, as he intends
going to California with his family in the
sUring on account OF his wife's health.
School in district No. 5 closed on the
Ilth inst. Everybody is well pleased
with Miss L. E. Moore, as the children
have all done well in the three months
she taught here. There is some talk OF
her getting the Carbon primary school.
One day last week, while going to school
in the morning, Miss Moore met some
wolves when near the school house.
There were four of them and she became
badly frightened upon seeing them come
toward her, and she only avoided them by
jumping down the bank of a shallow
river. She broke through the ice, in
consequence OF which she has a severe
cold, the only evil effect of her adventure.
There is lots of game up here in the
mountains now and it is easy tracked on
the snow. Yesterday two gentlemen,
after being out for two hours, brought
home a deer and a wolf. A short time
ago a hunter, j. c. billiard, shot a big
black bear weighing 400 pounds, dressed.
Quite a number Of black bear have lately
been seen or the passes along Elk noun
tain.
There has been very cold weather here
for the past week on account of the wind
which has been verv severe. Still cattle
are doing very well. The feed is pretty
fair and the ranchers are chopping the ice
here and there so the cattle can get some
water.
F. A. Hadsell, sheriff of Carbon county,
has built him a very fine barn on his
ranch here. 1t took very near three
months to build it. having two men work
ing at it all that time. 1t is SOxI60 feet.

RAZHER TOO GANZY.

If it be true. as reported, that the
Democrats in the house of representatives
are determined to work the economy
racket tor all there is in it. appropriations
for public buildings will be few and Tar
between. Sun.
We believe the SIN to be emiuent,y
correct in the conclusion which it reaches
in the foregoing paragraph. Mornings
senators have begun already, however, to
work the d~emagogue racket by intro.
dacing bills for public buildings in Wyo-
ming. They made no effort of this kind
last year when Oshkosh, Kalamazoo.
Squedunk and many other centers Of
American civilization were. voted appro-
priations for public buildings. Failing
then to secure this boon for their con
stituents or even to introduce a bill for
the purpose when the house, senate and
president we're all of their political faith,
it is entirely too transparent a dodge to
get to work now with the intention OF
laying the blame of their subsequent
failure at the door of the Democratic
majority in the house.
Very few people will be taken in by
such buncombe.
