THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.
Omcial Figures of Interest Compiled By

Official Figures of Interest Compiled By
the War Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-The war de-.
partment has issued from the military
information division Of the adjutant
generals Office a volume of notes Of
organization, ornaments and military
progress in American. and European
armies. It gives in an epitomized
form the strength and formation Of
the more important foreign military
organizations and a detailed descrip-
tion of the small arms and side arms
in use at home and abroad.
Some of the figures showing the
military strength of nations given in
this volume are significant in view Of
their relia ability and possible Eu-
ropean wars. The war footings are as
follows: Austro-Hungary, LIZA. IT'S;
Belgium, no, 900; Great Britain (tota1
regulars and volunteers in England
and colonies, 662, 600; France, $780,
600 Excluding $50. 900 men classed as
auxiliaries); Germany, 3,7OO, coo; Italy,
3, 155, ,036; Russia, 13. Ola, s65; Spain,
400, 600; SwitZer rland, 4S6, GOO.
Some idea of the enormous cost of
maintaining the great military forces
may be gathered from the statement
of annual expenditures on their &C
count, as follows: Austro- Hungary,
$55, ,235, 900; Belgium. 50, 346, 900; Eng
land, $50, ,O0o, 600; France, $127, 600, coo;
Germany, Sis, 11s. S25; Russia, $780,
349, 900; Spain, S2s, I2s, 900; Switzer-
land, SO, $50, 900. Thus it appears
the nations named in this list expend
each year in their military establish
ments the sum of S631, 226, 625.

NEW YoRK, Oct. IO.-.sDie Weber,
The Weavers) a historical realistic
play in five acts by Gerhart Haupt-
mann, the German apostle of dramatic
realism. was performed in German at
the Tha1ia theater last night by Herr
Most and fifty Anarchists who had
never acted before. The house was
crowded. The object was the raising
of money for the literary fund of the
Anarchist society of New York-to
help Herr Most's paper, Die Freiheit
The performers had carefully re-
hearsed their parts and the acting
was really good, for they were merely
recitin9 upon the stage the grieV-
shouting in meeting halls and when
they demolished the house of their
employer they probably did it with d
secret satisfaction that was not set
down in the book
The play opened in the delivery
room of Herr Dressinger, the mereh-
ant whose clerks were paying the
weavers the pittance that they had
earned. Herr Most was one of these
weavers, and when he appeared upon
the stage there was roar OF applause.
his makeup was e4co1I0nL IN MS
tattered garments and his frowsy
gray wig, the gray hairs of which
mingled with the shaggy ends of his
own true whiskers, he came SLOUGH
ing upon the stage In the second
act he and two others went through
the whole catalogue of human woes,
from lealxy roofs, through which tha
rain poured, and heartless landlords,
to starvation and the disease that
came from poverty. In the third act
the whole crowd assembled in tav-
ern and piled up list of grievances
against their employer. In the fourth
act they went to his house and de-
stroyed everything they could lay
their hands on, particularly the mir
rors, the demolition of which seemed
to give them a fendish pleasure. In
the fifth and last act they went to
neighboring town, fought with the
soldiers, killed a weaver by accident
and demolished another manufacture
er,s home.

in the condition of the car and
that . the minister of war has

of the life OF the czar to be offered up

BosToN, Oct. 9. = Four paintings,
valued at from $500 to SIS, 600,
which were stolen from the residence
of the late Frederick L. Ames, at
North Easton, in the summer of 1885,
have been recovered by the family
within a week, and the recovery has
been as mysterious as was the rob
berry.
At the time of the robbery Mr..
Ames offered 81, 500 for information
leading to their recovery. Last week
inquiry way made as to whether the
reward was still good. The reply was
in the affirmative and after some mys-
terious negotiations the pictures were
given into possession OF the family
and 81, 500 was paid to a lawyer in
this city to be turned over to the man
who gave the information. Every
body connected with the transaction
was pledged to secrecy in regard to
the identity of the others concerned

The reports of correspondents on
wheat feeding show that farmers to q
large extent have tested the value Of
wheat (when ground) as food for all
classes of stock and are using it free
ly and deriving benefits from its use
that are surprising Many of the
correspondents who have made scien-
tific tests state that one bushel Of
wheat when ground and properly fed
is equal to one and one-half bushels
of corn, and as this. is year when it
will have to be used to large extent,
it is apt to revolutionize the stock
feeding business.
Another prominent feature of the
report is the large number of coun-
ties reporting disease among hogs
In the eleven states disease is re-
ported in Ill counties. There have
been thousands of pigs from 20 to 40
pounds weight shipped from Nebraska
and South Dakota into Iowa, Illinois
and other states, and it is principally
among these hogs that the disease
started and spread to native hogs

Professor Won Leyden Holds Ont Hopes
for the Ruler of Russia.
BERLIN, Oct. 10. I'm view of the re-
ports that the czars condition has
changed for the worse, the CORE
spondent for the Associated Press in
this city has had another interview
with Professor Won Leyden, the dis
tinguished specialist, who was recent
ly in attendance upon the czar at
Spala. He said: ''The czar has a
powerful constitution and still weighs
200 pounds, though he has lost much
flesh since January and he should be
able to make a good fight against dis
ease. With favorable climatic inf1u-
enceS, as at Corfu-or the island
of Madeira, if the weather at
Corfu is not found to be favor
able--and without unforeseen compli-
cations he may recover. The illness
of the czar is peculiar. His principal
trouble is 4 granulated contraction of
the kidneys. in which the kidneys be-
come hard and change tissue, besides
being subject to atrophy. This is ac-
companied by hypertrOphy of the
heart, resulting from enlargement OF
its muscular tissue This latter ads
TO breathing difficulty and is often
very painful, the spasms being COM
plicated by fits of unconsciousness-
There is no dropsy, however. Dia-
betes, in the preliminary stage. has
declared itself; but it is merely
symptomatic and an accompaniment
of the main trouble. When further
advanced this malady frequently re-
suits in partial or entire paralysis
Thus far, however, there does not ap-
pear to be any immediate danger of
this with the czar."
Referring to the prospects of
regency in Russia Professor Leyden
remarked: The question of the ap-
pointment of the regency was dis
cussed at Spafa IN my hearing, but no
decision was reached. A regency will
become necessary. however, if cure
is to he effes.tado y
