As stated above, the strength of the Brit
ish-b born army of India is about 70.000-73.-
$40 is the exact figure. The native soldiers
number $4,000, or little more than double
the force of English soldiers. At the time
Of the mutiny in 1856 there was 10000 Eu-
rOpeans and $4,000 native soldiers, or five
natives TO one European, where the proper
tons are now two to one. Before the mu-
tiny large bodies of native troops were often
brought together, where only few Euro
pean trOups were present, or perhaps none
at all. Now, the rule is invariabe that
whenever there is a concentration of native
troops for the purposes of a grand review or
other affair. there shall always be q concen-
tration of One-half the number of European
troops; furthermore, the white troops are
encamped in the positions most advantage
GUS for fighting in case of an outbreak on
the part of the native forces. The natives
have q great dread of artillery; they have
great respect for cannon. whether in their
own hands or in the hands OF their enemies.
Advantage is taken Of this feeling by CIV
ing the native army of India very small
supply of artillery; there are 1857 artiller-
lists in the native army of India and
1928 in the European contingent, and at
every large concentration OF troops tile Eu-
ropean artillery is in preponderating
strength. The mutiny was possible because
each regiment was composed of men of the
and sometimes the composition of whole
brigades and divisions was identical. At
present great care is taken TO compose regi-
ments so that there can be no common
cause for revolt; the members of a company
may be of the same race and religion and
from the same district, but no two compa-
MES composing regiment are of the same
kind. Thus, there can be no common rea-
son for revolt, no possible chance of affinity,
as the circumstance that would offend the
men of one company would be matter of
indifference to those Of another. A wide
spread plot is impossible under these
conditions, but, nevertheless. a sharp watch
is kept to see that nobody eudeavors to or
ganize one, in spite of the chances against
him. No regiment is allowed to remain
long in any one place, and the regiments
composing the brigades are shifted with
considerable frequency. In fact, all pre-
cautions are taken to prevent recurrence
OF the terrible experience of 1857. when 1t
seemed for time as il the British power in
India was doomed to be overthrown.

NEW YoHK, Dec. 31.-Ioung Frederick
j. Ennis, the son of Assessor Ennis, of
Brooklyn, who Is trying to have his
marriage with Clara L. Vermilyea dis
solved, on the ground that the csre-
mony WAS performed while he was
under duress, now makes serious
charges against the character OF his
young wife. The argument on the
motion for alimony and counsel fee
was continued before Judge Van Wyclk
in the City Court, Brooklyn, to-day,
and the young man advanced an addi-
tfonal allegation.
He intlmates that his wife's reputa-
ton was batt, and her relatives fixed
upon him as her husband, because he
was young and inexperienced, and be-
cause his father was reputed to be
wealthy. He says he was Is years and
IL months old, and wore knicker-
bocker5 when the ceremony was per-
formed. He admits that he told the
Rev. DIR. Parker that he was 18 years
old, but he says that the girls father
forced him to lie about his age.
When his parents learned that he
had been married to Miss Yermilyea he
ran away from home He now denies
that the child is his.and alleges that he
never introduced the girl as his wife.
His father, mother and brother sub
mitted aflldayits to prove that he was
under 10 years old when the ceremony
was performed. The counsel OF young
Mrs. Ennis will submit aiiidavits In re-
fufation of the more serious charges
mad6 by the young man.

New YoRK, Dec. 81. "A marriage cere-
mony was performed in Raymond
Street Jail in Brooklyn, last night.
The groom was Thomas West, who has
been Indicted for the murder of Police
men Clancy, of the Bergen Street Sta
ton, and whose trial is to take place
soon. The murder, according to the
police authorities, was both brutal and
cowardly, and West, 1t is said, will be
lucky IL he escapes with life imprison-
ment.
West had bad reputation and was
the recognized leader of a dangerous
gang which infested Clancy's post. He
had been keeping company for some
time before his arrest with pretty
and respectable young woman named
Nellie Williams, and she has clung to
him all through his misfortune, and
has frequently carried him delfcacies
to the jail during his imprisonment.
Miss Williams resolutely resisted the
efforts of friends and relatives to aban-
don her imprisoned lover, and without
moments hesitation agreed to his
proposition that they should get mar
ried, with the almost hopeless outlook
of ever being able to live together.
The ceremony took place in the pri-
vate Office of Warden Alonzo Brymer.
Rev. Job Bass, the venerable prison
chaplain, performed the ceremony,
which was witnessed by the warden,
the matron, and other jail officials.
The surroundings precluded congratu-
lations, and within n half hour West
was locked up in his cell again, and
his pretty yonng wife was on her way
home weeping.

WEST CHESTER, Dec. 81. "A prominent
business man and lifelong Republican
said this morning: Il admire the de-
termined opposition the Press is
making to the return OF j. Donald
Cameron to the United States Senate,
and hope its efforts will be continued.
II Cameron is reelected 1t will be an
outrage upon the party in Pennsylva-
MIA, and will make the State doubt
full one in 1892. Cameron's associates
are Democratic, his influence is used
for the passage of Democratic mea-
sures, and II returned to the Senate
he will be an avowed Democrat before
his nextlterm has expired"
All OF the Legislators-elect have
been interviewed repeatedly, and
though they decline to state how they
stand on the matter of the Senatorial
election, it is tacitly understood that
they will support Cameron unless
there is greater opposition to him
than has yet been shown"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The killing oil
Postmaster Matthews, at Carrolton,
Miss, Is to be investigated by the
Postofflce Department. Then we shall
probably get an authentic account of
1t. At present there are two stories,
one that Matthews was killed b. u
man of whom be was in search, with
the intention of shooting him on sight,
and the other that he was murdered IN
cold blood because he was n Republi-
can ofllceholder. Either account may
be true; but, In view of the
state of the political feeling In that
section, the probability is with the lat
ter. At any rate, there is more reliance
to be placed in an investigation made
by the detectives or the postal service
than In one publicly conducted by n
Congressional committee.
