Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1894-10-13
WAKEENEY, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER l3, 1894


WASHINGTON. D. c., October 9-The war
department has issued from the military
informa ion div sion of thu adjutant gen.
erals office volume of notes of organiza-
ton, armaments and military progress in
American and European armies. 1t gives in
an epitomized form the strength and forma-
ton of the more important foreign military
organizations and detailed description of
tha 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 reliability
and possible European wars. The war foot
ingS are as follows: Au -tro-H Hungary, 1884,
175; Belgium, 10000; Great Britain (total
regulars and volun teers in Engl nd and
colonies 662. 900; France, 2.850OOO (exciud-
ing $4,000 m n clas el as auxiharies);
Germany, 3.7c0,OO0; Italy. 3.155.O36 Rus
sia. 13.014,865; Spain, 100000; Switzerland,
486.O0O.
Some idea of the enormous cost of main
tanning he great military forces may be
ga hered from the statement of annual ex-
pandituros on their acrount. as follows:
Austro- Hungary. S55.235, 600; Belgium. So
346,000; England. $S9,090000; France, Sl27,-
100000; Germany, S11S.118.8'5: Rus-ia,
$196.349. .000; Spain. S28, 1880 O: Switzerland,
S10,550,C00 Thus it appears the nations
named in this list expend each year in their
military establishments the sum of S631,-
226, 1926.

London Papers on the situation.

blockade of the ports of Madagascar has
been proclaimed by France.
An the London afternoon papers grayely
discuss the hasty summoning of a cabinet
council and it Is generally accepted as being
connected with some serious difficulty with
France.
The Globe says: ''To-day's news of the
blockade of the island of Madagascar sets at
rest all doubts as to the immediate business
of the cabinet councils.
The liberal organ, the Westminster Ga
zette, handles the subject very tenderly, and
is evidently anxious not to excite public
opinion, and thereby emb barrass the govern
ment.
On the other hand the conservative mouth
pieces discuss the matter more fearlessly
and warn France against encroaching upon
British ghtS.
The Pail Mall Gazette refers to the article
printed IN the Poitique Coloniale, of Paris.
which reflects the views of the minister of
the co onies, M. Delcasse, and which gives
exclusive of the questions of Egypt and
Madagascar, the list of eleven outstanding
difficulties between France and England,
connected with frontier and similar disputes
in various Afr can co onies
The Po itique Co.oniae, however. says
that many of these have practically been set
tied and that none of them would justify a
rupture unless one country was bent on
picking a quarrel with the other, which. the
paper adds, is not the case.
The Pa | Mall Gazette, in spite of this,
says the article in Politique Coloniale is I'M
friendly ''tu the verge of discourtesy," add
ing, land if it reflects the spirit in which
the French ministNrs intend to discuss the
difficult es with England, We may prepare
for troublesome times. We do not wish to
quarrel with France. but on the other hand
we are iudiSposed 10 permit trespaSsing upon
our urqu STONED rights. The bullying spirit
which tells Frenchmen that they have only
to be brag and bluff enough TO force Eng
land to SURF ander may easily lead to that be-
lief. TIL Pail Mall Gazette then continues:
''The Dai Chronicle says that war be-
tween France and England must be regarded
as inconceivable madness. France must be
told courteously but tirInly that we have not
the 81 ghtest desire to attack or to provoke
her, but that is attacked We shall defend our
selves to the last extremitY.' y

NUMBER 35.
AMONG KANSAS CHURCH PEOPLE.

At Abilene the Smoky Hill Baptist
association, in session for two DAYS,
voted to dissolve the organization and
form a new association including all
Baptist churches of central Kansas west
of Topeka.
The Methodists have been holding
revival services for two weeks at Neal,
eight miles west of Toronto. The COM
munity is wonderfully aroused. Sixty
persons have professed conversion, and
the membership will be more than trebled-
Rev. Grant A. Robbins, of Mendon, Mo-,
and Rev. Bascom Robbins, the pastor.
are holding the meetings.
Topeka Journal: The First Presby-
terian church managers are now trying
to secure an organist to succeed III. s.
Wilder, who recently resigned, and to
make other arrangements for music for
the coming winter season. The church
now has $50 members. Since Rev. s. b.
Anderson became pastor of the church,
two years and a half ago, over 300 now
members have been added and the pres
ent outlook is most encouraging. Dur
ing the last two years So, 900 has been
paid on the church debt, which has, on
account of the pressing financial condi-
ton, embarrassed some of the church
departments to some extent, but this
embarrassment is now being overcome.

Government Ownership.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 5.-General
Wade Hampton, commissioner of railroads,
has just returned from an extended trip over
the government roads which come under his
super vision.
The commissioner says he encountered ia
California a great deal of clamor,for gov
ernme Mt control of not only the Union and
Central Pacific, but of all roads. Both OF
these propo .itions are opposed by the com.
missioner, who will submit his report to the
secretary of the interior November 1.
''In the first place. he said, ''bonds on
fhes- road are not due until 1898 and the
government cannot force 'oSe until that time.
If the government should foreclose, it hav.
ing only the second mortgag, would be
compelled to pay the fir mortgage amount
ing to many millions. A government sucL
as ours cannot operate railroads. In auto
cratiS gov varnments it Is possible. but not in
this. The mand for for osure of the
Pacific roads does not come from the best
informed people of the Pacific coast, al.
though it has got TO he very popular move
ment IL the west"

Fixing Division Lines.

WASHINGTON. D. C.. October "a part of
the expedition which has been engaged in
surveying the boundary bctween the prop
erty of Great Britain and Alaska has re-
turned to Washington. The joint survey of
th boundary by the United States and Great
Britain is now practically complete, and the
respective countries may h>gin work at once
on the conflicting CLAIMS.
The gr ater portion of the region pur-
chased from Ru sia is definitely located on
the 141st meridian. The obj ct of the Eng
lish is said to be to force the line down TO
cross some of the broad inlets which would
give them water access to their own terri
tory, so that they would be entire'y inde-
pendent of United States Gu tom regulations.
One of the intere ting facts est 'bished by
the expedi ion was that Mount St. Elias Is
not on United States terr tory and that it
must give precedence in regard to height to
three mountains further inland, which all
stand in British possessions.
The height of Mount st. Elias, as deter
mined by this years party, is 1903 feet,
while Mount Logan IS 1854 fe 4 gh. The
o her two peaks are name ess as yet There
were no lives lost in the expedition and the
trip was regarded as being very satisfactory.

Decisive Battle viii be Fought Soon.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 1O.-The crisis
of th China-Japan war is looked for within
the next ten days or two weeks by those
most interested and best Informed on the
contest. The legations of the two countries
are expecting daily to hear that the decisive
b tile has been fought. This is bast on
the fact that the japanese have been gradu-
ally closing in around Pekin, and the invad-
ing army Is compelled by force of circum-
stances to strike their blow at once, or not
at al.
The intense cold which comes on about
the mi die of October makes this impera-
tive. Tha japanese climate is very mild
even in winter and the Japanese troops are
wholly unprepared for the rigorous climate
alb, ut Pekin, which is due within two weeks.
The Chinese look upon this as one of their
defencas and the Japanese fully appreciate
that it compels them to concentrate their
campaign for this year into the next few
weeks, and, if possible, days For that rea-
son they are expected to make heroic efforts
to decide the contest at once. They are
without the heavy othing, camp equip
ments. ETC., for cam paign in the bitter cold.
