EURoPE'S NEXT BIG WAR.

This war Of giants will have Russia
and France on the one side. Germany.
Austria and Italy on the other. To
make this evident, says Blackwoods 8
Magazine, we have only to look at the
actual position of the troops during
peace n.each Of these countries. As
an indication of where the danger lies,
and the direction which the contest
will ultimately take. the disposition of
the Russian army is by far the most
important factor. Russia, owing to
the immense extent of her empire and
the comparatively small number of her
railways in proportion to those of any
other European state, is quite unable
to concentrate powerful armies for Of
fensive purposes on any point OF her
dominions with any approach to the
rapidity with which this can be done
in France, Germany, Italy, or even
Austria. She is consequently obliged
to mass upon her frontier during peace
those forces which she intends at once
to throw into action during war. The
sure sign, therefore, of where she in
tends to strike her blow when the in
evitable contest ensues Is to be looked
for in the present actual distribution
of her army. This is by no means 10
the same extent the case with the
other great powers. France and Ger
many, especially. have a perfect sys-
tenn of railways laid out with dis
tinct strategic purpose. Every prep
aration for a speedy concentration Of
their whole forces by these means on
any point of their frontiers ever likely
10 be threatened, either for offensive
Or defensive reasons, has been so thor
oughly made that their troops can be
left during peace in a far more dis
persed state and much further back
than is y,0ssihle with Rusxia

The TONkAWAS HUNGRY.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Feb Ga majority oi
tho tribe OF Tonkawa Indians. residing
upon their allotted land in the Cherokee
strip, are on the verge OF starvation, many
having been without food for weeks. and
would have perished had not friendly
white settlers fed them. There are only
about seventy members Of the tribe left. a
remnant Of a once powerful people. Nearly
every man in the tribe holds an honorable
discharge from the United States army
and they are the only tribs on the con-
tinent that has been at all times friendly
to white people.
Some years ago they were brought from
Texas and placed on the old Nez Perce
reservation in the Cherokee strip. In
1890. without any warning, the Indian de-
partment suddenly stopped their rations
and left them to provide for themselves.
Later, their school teacher was discharged
on the plea of econ omy and all the chill
dren of the tribe loaded into wagons and
driven away to a distant school. The
payment for the land they sold the gov
ernment when they took their allotments
was due nearly year ago, but as they are
too poor TO hire an attorney or depart
mental lobbyist the money has been held
back. and they have never received a cent,
and are consequently facing a cold winter
with little clothing and no food.
