Increase Of the Austrian Army.
(rrom the Pail Mall Gazette.)

=
Radical changes are contemplated in the
organization of the Austro- Hungarian
army. An actual increase in the number
of corps has been a matter of serious con-
temptation for some time past, but finan-
cial considerations have always been, and
still are, in the way for both lines Of de-
fence. The minister Of war always finds
an insurmountable obstacle in the shape
of the finance minister. so that poor Aus
tria must perforce maintain both an enor-
nous standing army and an efficient navy
at a considerable less cost than is incurred
by her allies. Hence Austria is much like
Italy in being a catspaw Of her northern
neighbor in case OF a European war,
though she is compelled to carry out her
obligations upon such parsimonious ba-
sis that 1t is doubtful whether she would
be able to provide any very effective as
sistance when the supposititious crisis ar
rives. She has. moreover. always labored
under the disadvantage OF a disintegrated
army, in spite Of the forces tending to
unity which are exerted by the military
wire pullers.
The Poles enlist preferably in purely
Polish regiments: the Hungarians main
tain their own regiments. distinct both in
uniform and material; and in Bohemia
there has recently been a discomfort which
has almost amounted to open mutiny. In
spite Of regulations concerning the uni
versatility of the German language for the
army, the recruits have insisted upon the
use of their own Czech tongue on parade.
The result has been the issue from head
quarters Of even more stringent regula-
lions to enforce discipline in this direction
Apart from the projected increase in the
pay of officers. the augmentation of the ar
tillery and the introduction of quick firing
guns. the minister Of war will place before
the next delegations proposal to add an
other army corps with its centre at Brunn.
This increase will necessitate an extra bur-
den to the budget Of 100000 900 francs.
The proposal is analogous to the scheme
of the former War Minister Bauer. who.
asked for an extra vote Of 240.-
COO. .0G0 francs. but the objections OF the FL
nance Minister proved insurmountable and
1t fell through.

GRAHAM's CASE ADJOURNED.
Hearing Of the Boy Murderer Pos,
POned Until Saturday..

Hearing Of the Boy Murderer Post
pOned Until Saturday.
Bridgeport, Conn. June I'm the city
court yesterday Peter Graham. fifteen
years old. was arraigned. charged with
murder in the first degree. The prosecu-
tion was not ready and the case was con-
tinued until Saturday. In the meantime
the police are endeavoring to establish a
motive for the supposed crime. Peters
mother yesterday morning told an inter-
esting story.
When Peter was three years DID," she
said. " he was sitting on a pile OF rocks in
the creek. Other boys were swimming
near him. Suddenly they heard child
ish scream. and saw that Peter had fallen
from the rocks. The water was not deep
enough to drown him. but he bruised his
head badly. and that. with the shock OF
falling into the cold water. seemed to hurt
him. He was unbalanced for some time
after that. and at times since then he has
appeared to be unbalanced, though he
never appeared to be vicious.
Some OF Mrs. Graham's neighbors told
stories of Peters acting queerly at times
Edward Hynies. New York lawyer.
who Is known also as criminologist, is
here and has been studying Graham. 1t
is Mr.. Hymes' opinion that Peter had a
bad ancestor. -.
Graham" said Mr. Hymes. may be a
sporadic criminal. His quickness and
acuteness furnish an illustration of the
conceded principle that mental ability is
not at all inconsistent with moral degen-
eracy.'
Graham appears perfectly contented In
jail and has not shown a down-hearted
moment since he was incarcerated.

BATTLE WITH AN EAGLE.
Ffrmcan's Fight With the Bird ON
nm Engine Pilot.


Susquehanna. Pa, June 7.-As an Onta-
rio and Western train swept around a
curve near Ponytelle yesterday an enor-
nous bald eagle was seen on the track
by the fireman, who was at the moment
peering through forward part Of the cab.
The pilot was upon his eagleship before he
could rise, struck him, tumbled him up on
the frame, where he clutched an iron bar
with one Of his great claws and held fast
Before the bird had time TO recover from
the fright and shock Of his collision with
the pilot. the fireman had climbed along
the running board to the pilot and was
upon the bird. when lively tussle ensued.
The eagle fought viciously for his liberty.
and the fireman was equally determined
upon making him his prisoner.
The train was going al the rate of forty
five miles an hour. The fireman had to
hold by one hand with all his power to
one OF the iron guards below the headlight,
to keep his footing, as the engine swayed
from side to side, and bounded over the
inequalities of the track in its headlong
race against time, and manage the eagle
with the other
The eagle was finally secured, after he
had torn the fremans overalls to shreds
with his powerful talons. that are four
inches long. He was carried back over the
running board, hghting like demon. Once
in the cab, the engineer went to the fire.
mans aid, and by hard work they sue
ceeded in tying the king of the upper
ether" securely. but their task was no
easy cne. as the eagle fought sayageIy
with beak and claw as long as one of his
captors was within reach.
When tied he was spread out on the cab
floor and found to measure seven feet from
tip to tip of wings. He stands quite four
feet high when fully erect, and is alto
gether splendid specimen OF the monarch
OF American birds. This is probably the
first instance Of the capture OF an eagle by
a railroad train.
