n BRITISH CRISIS.


UVNy ,t'
LONDON, Nov. 4-Nearly all OF the
English newspapers refer seriously to-
day to the political crisis. the appar-
ent isolation Of Great Britain and tho
policy pursued by Russia In the far
East, as we'll us the future steps which
France may take. Even the most con-
~scrvative of the London papers have
become alarmed and the people here
are gradually becoming convinced
that British diplomacy has been out
Unanswered by Russia. and that ia
spite OF denials, the latter country
has obtained important concessions
from China and is prepared to stop at
nothing In order to compel the Japa-
ncse TO evacuatc Chinese territory, ia
accordance with the terms of tho
treaty of peace.
In Armenia the situation grows
more grave in view Of the spread Of
revolutionary feeling and the fact that
England Is liable to be left alone at
any moment to deal with the Sultan,
and that the latter will then be very
unlikely to carry out reforms in Ar
mcnia.
Some ofthe English newspapers are
finding consolation in the sympathetic
| utterances Of some American papers,
but there is no getting away from the
fact hat Great britain is facing II
dangerous crisis. Perhaps che matter
can best be summed up In the follow
ing quotation from the st. James Ga-
zettc this afternoons: at is such as to
make us anxious not to lose time in
getting our naval and military arma.

ARMY AND NAVY.

Contrary TO general predictions, the Army is
meeting with great success with colored men
as soldiers. There now two full cavalry
regiments, the 9th and 10th, composed exclu-
sively of them. and if there is an increase in
the standing Army by this Congress, another
regiment OF cclored troops will be added to the
service For three years three companies Of
these men from the 7th Cav. were stationed at
the post across the Potomac from Washington,
and whenever there was a parade of National
troops III the city the cOlorcd men always came
in for an equal share Of comment and admira-
ton for their military bearing aud efficiency in
movements. Their commanding officer, Col.
Guy V. Henry, declared that they were as fine
soldiers any he had ever commanded, and he
could depend on them following him wherever
he might direct. Less fault is found in hand
ling this class of enlisted men than any other
They are easily satisfied, and the uniform aud
trappings tickle their fancy, and FOR this, if for
no other reason, they content to serve the
Government.
