Strntton and Tabor.
I am told here that Stratton, the car
penter OF Colorado Springs, who struck II
rich at Cripple Creek. is making other
good hits right along. For twenty-five
| years luck went against him. Now he
doesn't seem able to make a mistake. His
big mine, the Independence. continues to
grow richer. No one but Stratton knows
what fits output is, but the general belief
is that the mine produces somewhere be-
tween sl@J.GS and 5000 worth of gold a
year. For a time he took out a thousand
dollars a day, and / am told that the mine
Is growing better as IL goes further down.
Stratton has refused 100000 for he prop
crty. and he sticks TO his old idea that
the gold is better where II Is than In his
pockets. He says that Mothe' Earth Is

After getting around on the other side
of the city. We came across the bay in a

rough work. One man had to keep bail

The insurgents seem to be very kind
and obliglng to us, and it doesn't seem to
me. from what saw, that we are to have
any trouble with them. but several know
ang ones here say that that is where we
are to have our trouble. They don't look
for much trouble with the Spanish. but
say that the Insurgents will cause us lots
Of trouble and fighting.
II they do not, don't see why we can't
come home this fall. If the natives fight
us, they will find that We won't fight
much like what they have been in the
habit of seeing with the Spanish. They
are good fighters at close quarters, but
don't know much about shooting. They
could give us no end of trouble. being SO
used to the country. and they live on rice.
The country is now so wet all around
that 1t is almost impossible to camp any

would have to occupy the large stone

..Foa our own PROTECTION"
Is GermaAy's llsa oi Establishment Of Her
Army and Navy.

Berlin, Aug. 29.-The North German
Gazette referring. today. to the Cars
peace conference proposals. remarks:
Our armament were never intended for
selfish ends but only for our own pro-
tecfion and for the maintenance Of
peace. We are willing to give a fair
trial TO another method OF attaining
the object of that smaller cost.
The National Zeitung says: The
Gear and his ministers have not de-
luded themselves with the idea that
they can rid the world of the causes
which for years have been responsible
for the growing armaments. When a
great power. however. addresses such
proposals to Others. they will be rec0g-
nized everywhere as deserving OF the
most serious consideration"
The Vossiche Zeitung expresses the
opinion that the importance Of the note
does not lie in the proposal for a con-
ference, but in it's conception.
The Post warmly eulogizes the Cars
motives, which. 1t adds. Must every
where arouse sympathy"
y The Krcsx Zeitung says: mo one can
vet appreciate the real Significance OF
the note. Its bitter-sweet reception
In France shows It will not meet with
universal approval"
According to the Hamburg corre-
sponlent the note will remain forever
an imperishable monument to the fame
OF Emperor Nicholas. Continuing the
paper says: 1T stands to reason thai
Germany welcomes the proposal In the
most glad manner and Is prepared to
cooperate In the sacred work"

London. Aug. 2s.-Dr. Emil Heica,
the eminent Hunsarian historian and
British counsel In TIE venesuelan arbt-
tration. in an interview ON the Csar's
note. expressed the belief that the
Cars idea was visionary. He said:
Suppose France disarmed. Her
population is now 100000 against
Germany's $1,000. 600 In ten years
Germany would have largely added to
her lead in population and France
could not display an army nearly -
large as her rivals.
Sweden and Norway and Italy
would like to disarm and might do so
with impunity. but for the rest Of
Europe. 1t is Impossible. You must

undergo an early change"

FRANCE FULL Of o,srausT.
Caanet Believe that Cars Peace Schene caa
d Carried Thrsssh.

Paris. Aug. 2.-The French newspapers
generally distrlst the practicabiiity Of
the Cars peace scheme. and clearly indl-
cate that France would make the resto-
ration of Alsace-LOrraine prerequisite to
her participation In the conference.
The Temps says: 'It is 10 be hoped THAI
Europe, like France. will consider the
Cars proposal In a spirit similar 20 that
whereby 1t was inspired. Nevertheless,
Il must not be forgotten that II France
owes It to herself to aid in such an at
tempt. there is another portion Of her
moral patrimony which she cannot aban-
don without abdicating the very reason of
her existence. France cannot forget the
Cxar and the President regarding the
rights Of the people and justice.
Count Muravieff's circular seems re-
joinder to Mr.. Goschen's speech, whether
or not 1t was so intended. Therefore II
lacks neither wit nor appropriateness.
However. it would be singulariy |belittling
the inspiration and meaning of the pro-
posal to see nothing else in It. or even to
connect it with a wish to hamper from
between the United States and Great
Britain.
What will the Germany of William
think of the initiative Of Nicholas? That
prince will hardly care to play second
fiddle" esii4 ff'i
The Liberte remarks: THE gravest
questions which demand solution involve
France. and the Czar has undoubtedly
considered these complications and has
consulted the powers interested. 1t is to
be presumed he ha,i reason to believe his
views will triumph
The Gazette de France says: "Russia
made us go TO Kiel. Today. she leads US
to conference which will sanction re-
adjustment of 1871"
The Journal des Debats refers to the
'.past which We cannot forget as being
