ENGLISH TACiTURNITY.
Loud Lament Over the Destruction of the

Loud Lament Over the Destruction of the
British Veil of Privacy.
The loss of our character for taciturn-
ity means much more than the world
thinks, asserts writer in the Specta-
tor. Bit by bit the veil of our privacy
is being dragged from us, until soon not

tain journals have arrogatcd to them
selves the right Of inquisition into the

Of detailing to the world at large the
most private and intimate affairs Of any
one who has the misfortune of attract

In the meantime we are left to mourn
the loss of our privacy, and very scri-

THE RUSSIAN SOLDER.
How tho Troops Of the CzRr Arc Lodged,
Clothed and EeL

How the Troops OF the CzRr Arc Lodged,
Clothed and EeL
I visited the other day one of tho
standing camps occupied by Russian
troops during the summer months, says
y writer in the British Army and Navy
Gazette, and was given every oppor-
tuuity of seeing what kind of life the
Russian soldier leads when under cam
vas. The camp lay q couple of miles
outside the garrison town, on high open
ground, with rifle ranges close at hand.
1t was neatly laid out and kept in first
gate order. The passages between the
lines were shaded by small trees, the
tents were roomy, and each contained
from ten to twelve men. The tent is
really an awning, supported by four
$ide-poles and one center-pole, spread
over foundation made of four earthen
walls about three feet high. The men
sleep on mattresses, which are laid on
q wooden construction like our guard
room beds. Down the center of this
tent is. a, passage, and at the end furthest
from the door is an arm-racll. Like in
every Russian house, the ''l1ona" or
picture OF some saint occupies prom
fnent position. One I saw in color
scrgcant's tent was decidedly valuable.
The dress worn by the men is very cool
and comfortable. Tt consists OF round,
flat cap like our sailors. wear, white
linen frock gathered in ut the waist by
black leather belt, with black
trousers fitting into knee-boots. The
number on the mans cap shows to what
regiment he belongs; the number on his
shoultler-straps indicates the. division
his regiment forms part OF. The only
ration soldier receives is n nine pound
eight English pounds) loaf Of black
rye bread every third day, the baking
OF which is done rcgimcntally. Ills
further messing is provided for by an
allowance from the government. the
expenditure. of which is controlled by n
COME: ittee of officers. III this camp it
was five copecl1s Zone and quarter
pence day per man, and it was suffi-
cicnt to supply him with half pound
of meat, meal for porrldge, suet for
Cruel, and vegetables. This may seem
rather Incredible, buG the contract
price of meat is at present eight CO
poclss 1.-TWO PENCE IL pound, and other
provisions arc cheap i'll proportion. No
fixed BREAKFAST l. provided; the soldier
makes the best of his rye bread, brews
his own tea, or buys IL cup in the can
teen. At eleven Il dinner is supplied
consisting Of ''stehT'-a vegetable and
meat sonp-and porridge. The former
Is excellent. at seven each man is
served out wish Cruel. A drink called
''lyas," a :fon-intoxicant brcwed from
corn, is s,pplicd nd libitum ut both
these mc'.ls. Government provides the
soldier with a cnnteen, knife, and
spoon. Nature provides him with a
fork. The mcarls are served up in
rOOnly shed, with tables and forms, adj
jHcent to the cool1-houses.

COUNTY AGAINST STATE.
Commencement of Litigation Over
Roadways in Marin.

Commencement of Litigation Over
Roadways in Marin.
For some time past there has been con-
tention between the san Quentin Prison
authorities and claimants Of certain lands
contiguous to the prison, concerning the
closing 1o1 private roads. An effort was
made at the last Legislature to have the
State buy these lands and settle the dis
pute, but it failed. Yesterday Attorney
General Hart filed All Injunction suit
against Marin County and the Board of
Supervisors thereof, and III his complaint
alleges that the State owns certain lands
upon which the prison at San Quentin IS
located, and also certain other lands out
side OF the prison walls upon which is
located the Warden's residence and vari-
GUS other buildings occupied by the Off
GERS OF the prison.
Through these grounds numerous pri-
yate roads run in such manner that
trends Of prisoners can easily secrete
arms and implements to aid convicts in
escaping. Also, that the roads run so near
the houses that dynamite bombs could
easily be thrown into the residences.
At ii late meeting of The Prison Direc-
tors the Warden was ordered to inclOse
| the grounds with q fence and erect gates.
This was done, but the Road Overseer OF
the district, by the direction of the Board
Of Supervisors, tore down one OF the
gates, and threatened to demolish all OF
them If closed to the public.
Judge Catlin has issued q temporary in
junction in the matter, which will re-
main IN force until the case is disposed OF
in court

EASTERN EDITORS.
Some Prospect Of Their Visiting the
Capital City.
NJ. H. DeYoung is Endeavoring to So
Arrange the ProGramme-Cor
spondence to That End.

An effort is being made to have the
route schedule of the visiting Eastern
editors so changed as to enable them to
spend a few hours in Sacramento. Should
this be arranged, Mayor Comstock will
call a public meeting to prepare for their
reception and entertainment.
The invitation extended by the City
Trustees last Monday was duly forwarded
to NJ. II. DeYoung. a member of the
Board of Managers, and who has charge
of the arrangements for this coast. Mr..
DeYoung writes TO Mayor Comstock as
follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, January 5, 1892.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board OF
Trustees Of the CITY Of SdcTdBleato-GE EN-
TLEMEN: Nour resolution, in reference
to the visit of the delegates of the Inter-
national League of Press Clubs, received
and contents noted. Your invitation has
been received very late. We have twice
changed the itinerary OF the league Of this
State to accommodate invitations, and it
would be rather q difficult matter now to
do so again. l will make the attempt and
will visit the railroad people and see if
we can make an arrangement for the
delegates to visit you on the I'D on their
way south. This would bring them to
fcdCIdulCIlO dDOIlJ - O CLOCK III the AFTER
noon, and they could remain until or
: O'Clock. How would that suit you, if it
could be managed? Let me know at
your earliest convenience your ideas as to
the time that would best suit you and the
/ length OF the stay you would desire them
to make. In any event, you can count
upon my hearty cooperation, at this late
hour, to do what | can to facilitate the
visit Of the delegates TO your city. Re
specttully, NJ. II. DEYoUNG.
THE MAYORS RESPONSE.
The following is Mayor Comstock's re-
ply to Mr.. De Young's letter:
SACRAMENTO, January 6, 1892
". II. De Young, ESQ.-DEAR SIR:
Your esteemed favor Of the 9Th inst, in
reply to the resolution OF the Board
of Trustees Of Sacramento City invit-
ing the delegates to the convention OF
the international League of Press Clubs
to visit the Capital City, was received this
/ day and contents noted.
/ We would be pleased, and prefer, to
/ have the delegates, while en- route to San
! Francisco on the 18th inst, remain over
! in Sacramento about three hours, if il
| could be 50 arranged.
If such an arrangement is not possible,
| the next best thing to do would be, as
/ you suggest, to have the delegates visit
! Sacramento on the I'D, on their way
! south, and remain with us say three or
! four hours. If this latter arrangement is
! effected, we would feel under obligations
! if you would inform us promptly, in
order that a public meeting Of citizens
may be called. Respectfully,
w. d. CoMsToCK, Mayor.

THE DRAINAGE CANAL

Trustee Mclaughlin Removes the Fill
ing-Another Suit Promised.
The drainage canal difficulty has taken
a new turn. This time it is the outside
landowners that have invoked the
power of the courts. On Tuesday Street
Commissioner Mclaughlin had William
Curtis arrested for filling up a portion OF
the canal, and the latter's trial for alleged
misdemeanor has been set for Saturday
next, in Justice Henry's court.
Bright and early yesterday morning
Major Mclaughlin put a force of laborers
at work and soon had the earth removed
from the canal, despite the warning of J
w. Armstrong-wh is counsel for the
landowners in the Sutterville Reclama-
ton District-that he would be held per-
sonally liable for such action.
1t is understood that civil action for
damages Will now be instituted, which
win bring the whole matter into the
courts, where the questions in dispute be-
tween the city and the outside land-own-
ers will be adjudicated.
Both sides are confident of being up
