RUSSIA DEMANDS PAY.

Late adylces from Constantinople
are to the effect that Russia demands
$i,6JO. 900 from Turkey. This sum is
supposed to be interest due on the
original indemnity on account Of the
war OF 1876, which indemnity was TO
be paid m installments Turkey con-
siders this demand unreasonable and
unjust. and there viii be more difficult
ties than usual In forcing the pay
ment.
The Turkish sultan, when the United
States government, few years ago.
forced Turkey to pay the missionary
claims, with clear foresight predicted
that payment to one country would be
followed by demands from other coun-
tries, and that he finally would be en-
barrassed, France, soon afterwards
demanded a settlement Of her claims
on account Of alleged broken contracts,
and forced a promise Of payment In
full. And now comes Russia with
similar demands for a still larger
amount The question naturally arises,
whether the intention is to force the
Turkish government to wind up its af-
fairs.
the King OF Italy has recently paid
the Car a visit, and II is supposed
that the affairs of the Levant were the
principal topics Of conversation. II the
italian king went north as the repre-
sentative Of the triple alliance, which
Is quite possible, the conference on the
Balkan situation must be considered
Of the greatest importance
What the Russian plan Is, cannot
even be conjectUred at this time. But
II is evident that any kind Of an ex-
element in the cyclone center OF
Europe. would be welcome to Russia,
II she has any special designs in east
crn Asia. Troubles in the Balkans
would in all probability have the effect
Of breaking somewhat the force of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, intended as a
check to Russian aggressiyeness in the
Orient.

FOUND IN MEXICO.

From newspaper reports Il appears
that very interesting and important
archaeological finds have been made in
Mexico, ~ the nelghborhood Of OAK
sca, where Prof Marshal II. Saville
Las been conducting investigations for
some time past A great number OF
ruins are found In this vicinity, rem
nants Of the habltations Of a people
Known MS the Za9otecans, and different
It is thought, from the Aztecs, as well
as from the Mayas Of Yucatan.
Among the interesting discoveries
made are burial places and temples.
The former were rectangular In shape.
and the latter pyramIdal They were
BUILT Of huge stone blocks covered with
cement and stucco, and painted red.
IN the tombs most interesting relies
were found. There We're fragments of
skeletons and pieces Of cranla. There
were numerous ornaments. a number
OF human teeth We're found. which were
ornamented by the insertion Of a cir.
cular piece Of hematite. These decorat.
cd teeth are said TO be the first that

many Of the funeral urns are found

Another important discovery was a

RAILROAD CHANGES.

1t Is usually very difficult 10 obtain
direct information on inside railroad
matters from railway officials The
policy OF silence seems 20 be an estab-
lished rule among Them and even when
news is received OF important changes
or occurrences, fortified by strong evil
dence Of It's correctness, reticence, n
not an air Of surprise, or an Implied
denial meets all queries Of newspaper
reporters 10 prominent officials. There
may be reasons for this that are good
and sufficient Tor railroad dignitarics,
but we are Of the opinion that IT would
be better for the general public. Il a
little more frankuess and less secrecy
were exhibited on matters that are
either directly or indirectly Of public
concern.
The contemplated changes on the Rio
Gande Western announced By the Des-
eret News on Pioneers day, appear to
be matters Of fact. Notwithstanding

He was a man Of rigid temperate
habits, which saved him from the mis-
fortunes that attended so many In the
early mining days. He was one OF the
discoveries OF the Bonanza mines. This
discovery was splendidly utilized by
him and his associates, James q. Fair,
James G. Flood and William OBrien,
and in a short time II was seen 20 have
changed the face Of the silver markets
Of the world. He took out gold as well
as silver. In 1873 the greatest silver
vein was opened and the gold veins
Yielded more abundantly, so that In
that one year the Bonanza kings mined
and marketed $l5O.OOO,O 900 OF the two
metals That was the highest mark
ever attained In gold and silver produc-
ton. The next highest was witnessed
I'm South Africa I'm 1899, when the gold
output was $4,000. 000 But all this
wonderful prosperity did not in the
least turn his head, he steadily con-
tinued indhe great camp and PERSONAL
" superintended the operations Much
Of the time he worked as a common
miner.

No one knows. or win ever know, the
experiences out Of which Mr. Mackay
evolved his philosophy. No doubt he
helped many TO help themselves TO in
dependence, and many took his bounty
only TO sink deeper into dependence and
unthrift. But now that he has assed
away the one expression into which his
experiences were concerted may well
be poudered by those who need help
and by those who can give t. lie con-
tubuted to the activities Of his time
more than most men, even those OF
equal means. The influence OF his
business enterprises was far-rpaching,
and his quiet ways made him exception
al. But 1t may wen be that his best
legacy to the world i his philosophy OF
benefactiOn.

SOME VITAL STATISTICS.

The census Office has compiled some
interesting figures relating to the to-
tai number Of bachelors and spInsters
Of each State Of the Union. It finds. for
the entire country, 6,72G779 bachelors
and 4l95i46 splnsters, counting those
Of 20 years and upwards That is. there
are in this country about 100000 more
single men than women Of the age
mentioned. For Utah the record Is
2o.l5l bachelors to 1905 spinsters.
The excess Of men over women Is. Of
course, not SO great when the entire
population Is considered, but it is never
theless quite remarkable. There are
now, 1t is claimed 100000 more men
than women. Ten years ago the ex-
cess was only about !, 100000, so that the
proportion seems to be increasing. This
showing is particularly interesting in
view Of the fact that in Europe the
condition is reversed. There they have
Oil women to each ass men.
Another fact brought out by the fig
ures, IS that the birthrate has fallen
of considerably during the last de.
cades. In 1850 the average family con.
sisted Of five and a hair persons. Now
1t is only four and a half. This de-
crease in the birthrate the United
States shares with the European coun.
tries. People Of the southern states.
we are told have the most children,
while in New England the families are
smallest.
The nation Is, nevertheless, increasing
at quite rapid rate. Every twelve Sec
onds, 1t seems, a baby is born, while
the death rate is only one In every
twenty-three seconds

A recent Vienna dispatch stated that
]. Plerpont Morgan is contemplating
the establishment OF steamship service
between Trieste and New York. The
item Is Of special interest at q time
when the influx Of slavonic immigrants
10 this country IS creating great atten-
tlon, and some anxiety for the future,
II is well known that steamship COM
panles, interested in the immigration
traffic are the most potent agencies
OF stimulating that traffic They em-
ploy agents to catch immigrants
everywhere. A steamship line such as
that contemplated would mean that
this country will have a slavonic i'm
migration of vastly larger proportions
than hitherto. IT would mean the i'm
portaton of laborers for mines and
railroads from countries whose supply
is practically inexhaustible.
