WHAT ARMIES 20 II.
WAR DEPARTMENT ISSUES A
STATEMENT.
Showing the Military Standing of the
Various Important
Nations.

Washington, Oct 6.-The war de-
partment has issued for military in
formation from the adjutant generals
office, a volume Of Notes of organiza-
ton, ornaments and military progress
in America and European armies. 1T
gives, in an epitomiZed form, the
strength and formation of the more
important foreign military organiza-
tons. War foongs are as follows:
Austria Hungary 1,794, 175; Belgium
100000; Columbia 10000; England to-
tai regulars and volunteers in England
and ,olonies) 662, 900; France 2,S5O,O00
excluding 100000 men classed as aux
iliarie4); Germany 100000; Italy B.
10, O36; Mexico 5000; Russia 49,
OLA, $50; Spain 100000; Switzerland
$4,000.
Some idea of the enormous cost of
maintaining these great military forces
may be gathered from the statement of
annual expenditures on their account.
as follows: AuSrO- Hungary $55.235-
600; Belgium S9,346,OOO; England $s9.-
100000; France 1927 100000; Germany
Sis, 1885; Mexico about S7,5O0, 600;
Russia S1S6, 369,O 900; Spain $2S,12S, 900;
Switzerland $1O,55O,OOO
Thus it appears that the nations
named in thsi list, which does not in
other countries, eXpend each year, in
their military establishments, the
enormous sum of 1861, 226,S25.

+ FAILURES.
A Big Crash Occurs at San Fran
cisco.

failure is announced at Tehachipi of S.
Herman & Co, dealers in general
merchandise. The liabilities are be-
tween 500, 700 and $500, 200. The as
sets are unknown. The firm did a big
business in loaning money to farm
ers and the failure is due to inability
OF farmers to pay their debts and the
difficulty experienced by the firm in re-
aIzing on securities. The farmers
could not sell their wool, and the crops
fell far short of what was expected.
st. Joseph Mo-, Oct. 6.-The local
creditors of the wholesale grocery
house of Steele u Walker, which
failed for nearly "a million It short
time ago, have accepted PROPOSE
ton from Judge Henry L Lazarus, of
New Orleans, who represents the
Steele interest, to pay so cents ON the
dollar, payable in installments. This
is conditional on the acceptance of the
same proposition made by the eastern
creditors, who sgnitied a willingness
TO accept such an offer. The local
creditors represented $375,0O0 while
the eastern firms hold claims aggre-
eating nearly 100000.
