the military force of Russia in central Asia is hardly sufficient to protect the interests of the empire in that region and by far in- sufficient to hold the border lands against an onslaught from the outside. "We must not forget" says the paper, "that at the present state of affairs in Europe it may at any moment become impossible for us to withdraw our troops from the interior of the empire and to send them to Asia Should trouble break out in Europe and in Asia simultaneously Turksstan would have to be left entirely to its own resources, and those resources are very small. In 1878, when the Mohammedans of that region be- came restive, we were able to put in the field against them only 25,0O0 men, while England could muster 60,0OO troops. Since then England has enlarged her power there and we have been almost at standstill. The increase of our military forces in that region is therefore of supreme importance to us if we are to hold our own against the aggressive power of England"

THE OTHER SIDE.

Yesterday we called attention to some of the wonderful changes that have taken place in the new South. Of course there is another side to the story. For instance, a correspondent has paid recent visit to one of the towns in Tennessee that a year ago was the object of very considerable speculative interest in this part of the country. The latter part of April of 1890 long train of Pullman cars left Boston loaded with gentlemen on visit to great auction sale of lots of land at what was to be future city of metropolitan import ance. At the auction sale that then took place what were considered to be choice some of which were as high as $250 per front foot. The sale was attended by more than three thousand people, streets were in process of construction, and if outward indications were to be trusted, there was every evi- | dence of the speedy uprising of great 1 business center. The. correspondent sayi that while the town had but two houses a year ago it has now a great many, but these are mostly for sale or for rent. There were then no business blocks; now there are several substantial ones, but they art practically all unoccupied. Last veal there was no hotel worthy of the name,
 but now there is new, unfinished hote
 which was to cost s75, ,OOO, but upon whict
 work has ceased from the obvious lack O.
 patronage to follow it's completion.

A SURPRISE.

The news of the resignation of Chief-of- Police Bollmann will be surprise to most of the people of New Haven, but perhaps nobody ought to be much surprised by anything that happens at the City Hall. MT. Bollmann has had difficult place to fill and it's natural difficulties have had added to them the difficulties of petty and often mean politics. He has made good record. He has worked faithfully to in crease the efficiency of the Police depart ment. He has, of course, made mistakes, but his intent has been right, and in the main his acts have been iudicious. He has been conspicuously honest in a place which offers frequent temptations to turn from the straight path. He has never been accused of any crookedness. He will carry out of office, and to his grave, a painful reminder of his service, as he has never fully recovered, and never will, from the brutal attack made upon him few years ago.
 New Haven has reason to hope that MT Bollmann's successor will be as faithful, honest and efficient as he has been

 The Iowa farmers are on the warpath. They intend to take independent political action in the coming State election. They expect to get up convention of about 1 1000 delegates to organize the new party, and invite laboring organizations to join them.
 The Postofice department is quietly experimenting with free mail delivery in small towns in various parts of the coun- try. By June it is expected that the experiment. will be in operation in forty five places. Congress made small ap- propriation for the experiment and thus far it seems to be decided success. The system has been in use in England.
 Nothing like having rich mother. Queen Victoria has made virtue of ne- cessity and ordered her agents to use $1, 500, ,000 of her private funds to pay of the debts of the Prince of Wales.

 It appears that there can be reform, even in Chicago. The Republican mayor of that city began his two years' term of office last week by shutting up all the gambling houses of the city.

 Disappointed prohibitionists can be found in Iowa.

Death OF Mrs. j. IL. shaw.

Last Tuesday noon the commu-
nifty was made aware of the sad
news of the very sudden death of
Mrs. J. r. Shaw, wife of County
Commissioner Shaw, of this place.
Mr.. Shaw had left his home about
8 o'clock Tuesday morning to at
tend to business, and at that time
his wife seemed to be in her usual
health. When he returned to the
house at 1880 to eat lunch he
found his wife a corpse, lying near
the door of the back room. He
Immediately summoned the neigh
bors and sent for the doctor, and
all means were used to try and re-
store life, but they availed nothing.
For the past eight or nine years
Mrs. Shaw had suffered from at
tacks Of epilepsy, and these attacks
the physician thinks weakened the
heart, so that it was heart failure
that caused the sudden death. Mrs.
Shaw was native of New York
State, and at the time of her death
was "a years Of age. She came to
San Francisco in 1865 and shortly
afterwards moved to Nevada, and
here married J. r. Shaw. She was
a lady whom all respected, and
who was always ready to do kind
or charitable act. She leaves a
husband and only son here to
mourn her loss, and a sister in
Minneapolis and one in Lower CAL
ifornia. The grief-striken husband
and son have the sympathy of the
entire community is their hour of
sadness.
The funeral of deceased took
place Thursday from the residence
and was conducted by the Dauhters
of Rebekah, of which Order Mrs.
Shaw, while in life, was member.
The funeral was largely attended
by sorrowing friends of this place,
Virginia, Carson, Silver City, Sutro
and Mound House. Some beauti-
full floral tributes rested upon the
coffin as it was lowered into the
grave; fit companions for a true
wife and a loving mother in her
last resting place.

was about fourteen inches long, nine

it will not be long before the invest

SMOTHERED I'M A GIRAFFE.
Frightfui Death OF n z. Muxxy NJ the
Eureka DUMP.

On New Years day S. E. Muzzy,
who runs the giraffes at the Eureka
mill ore dumps on the V. & 7. road,
just below the Mound House met
with an accident that proved fatal.
There are two sets of bins at the
Eureka dump, one above the other,
and the ore is let down from the up
per to the lower dumps by giraffe.
Russell Schooley, who runs the en-
CINE on the ore train that hauls rock
from the dumps to the mill, went
up after his second load in the af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock. He did
not see Muzzy anywhere about the
dumps, and blew the engine whistle
for him several times. Muzzy still
did not make his appearance, and
Schooley went up to the V. & T.
track to look about for him. He
saw his coat lying on the dump,
and thought that Muzzy had prob
ably gone to the Mound House to
take drink. About this time Joe
Wits came down the track from the
Mound House, and Schooley asked
him if he had seen anything of
Muzzy up there. Willis replied that
he had not. AS Schooley did not
know how to operate the giraffe, he
asked Willis, who was an old hand
at the business, if he would let down
some rock. Willis agreed to do so,
Schooley went down to the lower
dump and Willis handled the giraffe,
letting down about two tons of rock,
and when it was dumped into the
lower bins the body of Muzzy was
dumped out also. The supposition
is that Muzzy while picking the
rock loose in the upper dump
caused slide that knocked him
down into the giraffe and covered
him up so that he smothered to
death. Muzzy had worked at the
dumps for several years. He was
native of Maine, about 40 years
of age. His funeral will take place
at Empire this afternoon.
