ell composed Of Alderman Atkinson,

committees met at this time and de
cided upon what they Will recommend

submitted at the meeting on October

and small must be cut deep" was the
unanimous verdict Of the committees.
They went to work with a sharp knife
as their report VIII show. Salaries for
next year viii go down from > to 80
per cent. all over the city. The only
thing which is beyond control is water
and light and interest on bonded in
debtedness. This is held up by con
tract much to the city fathers regret
The cut includes every department
in the city and so is fair deal
The fire department is cut from .
to 50 per cent. The chiefs salary goes
from 81 800 to l,200 per year. Fire
mems salaries now range from $50 to
So and next year none viii receive
over $50 per month.
Tie police force is also reduced .
and 80 per cent. The chiefs present
salary is 81 ,700 per year and if the re
port is adopted it viii be 81 600. Pa
trolmen VIII get about so per month,
On police and fire departments alone
the city is thus $4,000 ahead.
The health department goes Gown
about 335 per cent. The city attor-
ney's salary now is 5000 per year and
/ viii be 81, 800 The salaries of all
clerks and assistants to city officers
Will be about 500 per year On the
board of education there is no chance
to slash, though the committees We're
aching to use the knife City hall ex-
penseS Will be allowed :, 900 instead of

Miners Lenving the Comstock.

Owing to the recent frequent drafts in
the mines, ComstoclS miners are daily
leaving for new camps, and lately many
with their families have taken their de-
parture from the lode. The majority of
the single men who turn their backs
upon this locality have no special point
in view, but wend their way to Butte,
Mon; Park City, U. T.; Vanderbilt,
kootenai and other parts, not decided
where they will locate. Every depart
ing train carries away some miner whose
home has been on the Comstock for a
number Of years. The mining popula-
ton of Virginia is gradually dwindling,
and it is doubtful whether the major
portion of those departing will ever re-
turn.-Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.

That the commanders of the g,,nboats
Comete and Inconstante misunderstood
the situation when they fired upon the
Paknam forts and assembled the Menam
river. Their instruction contemplated no

land and other nations were sending war
vessels to Bangkok, notified the Siamese
government on July of her intention to
increase the French naval force mt the
mouth OF the Menam river, where only
the gunboat Llltin afforded protection to
the French residents. In accordance with
article Is of the treaty of 1856 French men,
of-war have the right to enter the Menam
river and anchor off Paknam but must
give the SlameSe government notice to ar
range for the anchorage in case of the in
tentlon to ascend the river to Bangkok.
AS, however, no other than British vessels
entered the Menam river, Siam having oh.
1ected to the presence of more than one
foreign vessel, France, while reserving her
formal treaty rights, instructed Admiral
Human not to cross the bar of the Menam
river and notified the Siamese govern
ment accordingly. The order was received
too late by Human, and the gunboats
assembled TO Bangkok"
