SIZE OF RUSSIA'S ARMY.
Actual Number of Troops the Czar
Has In or Near Manchuria
Kept a secret.

No one outside the Russian war Of
fee knows the actual number OF troops
the car has In Manchuria or within
reach of ii, writes o. X. Davis, In Every
body's Magazine. The Russian army In
point CT number is the largest In the
world. Nearly 900 900 young men reach
their majority in Russia every year. and
each is bound by law to spend five years
in the army. If all were taken they
would make an army too large even for
Russia, so only $4,000 so to the colors
with the army or the fleet, and the rest
20 to the reserve The lowest peace
strength Of the Russian military estab-
lishment, therefore, numbers more than
a million men, with $4,000 officers In
war time practically all these young
men join the colors, swelling the army
to the stupendous figures Of $500 900
men, and $4,000 officers, for whom there
are provided sec, 900 horses. Men who
are in position to guess shrewdly say
there are more than 100000 Russian
soldiers in Manchuria or near 1t now
The number that can be put in the field
there is limited only by the will of the
government.

DISEASE IN THE MINES.
profuse Use of water Spraying I'm Coll
liertes Has Axsfsted In Intro
ducing Serious Disorder.

The profuse use of water spraying In
mines has unfortunately assisted in the
introduction of a most serious disease
into colleries, viz: "ankylostomaiasis, "
which is at present mostly confined TO
Austrian, German and Hungarian
mines. but has been discovered In some
mines In Cornwall, and also In Australia.
where those suffering from the disease
are called earth eaters" says Mines and
Minerals. The higher the temperature
and the greater the point of saturation
the more easily is the parasite propa-
gated, and therefore its favorite habitat
is In the damp and badly ventilated
places. The larvae can exist in any tenn
perature above 4S degrees r., and have
been found on the higher parts OF props
and bars. but not near the floor. Fortu-
nately, the first accounts are believed TO
have exaggerated the danger, and were
incorrect in stating that the Infection
could be carried through the air; but
later Investigations seem to point out
that it can only be taken in through the
mouth, and. therefore. clean hands and
clean water, when partaking of foods,
are the principal safeguards.

OUR GREAT COPPER WEALTH.
Michigan Led i'm Production of the
Metal Until Montana Assumed
That Honor I'm 1892.

In an article on Modern Methods of
"Finance," in the Parsons, Mr.. Henry
George, Jr., speaks OF our great copper
interests as follows: Modern copper
mining began in the United States about
1886. In that year our total production
was estimated to be about 100 tons.
More than tenth Of this was produced
in Michigan. Copper mining in many OF
the states rapidly developed, but no.
where so rapidly az in Michigan. which
In 1880 yielded more than four-nfths OF
the output OF the country.
Then it was that Montana began Its
phenomenal mineral development. By
1892 its copper production exceeded that
OF bountiful Michigan. Arizona's copper
development came later. Toward the
close of the nineties, the copper mined
in the United States exceeded annually
$50 900 900 in value. which rivaled our
gold yield and far surpassed our pc
troleum We had come to produce more
copper than all the rest Of the world
combined. and hence our product COM
manded the worlds market.
This country's enormous copper yield
came mainly from three districts in the
following order. The Butte region, Sill
yer Bow county. Mont; the Lake SUI
perior peninsula of Michigan, whereitis
richest; and the triangular region Of
southeastern Arizona marked by Clifton,
Bisbee and Globe"

In view of the negotiations now being

the picture which we give here of Corean

A Corean government official does not
think so much of the honor of serving

say, the levying of blackmail, the re-
ceiving OF brides from persons having
business with his superior, the right to

Democratic Mixup Said to be
Largely Due to New Leaders
who Have Replaced Others.
PARTY LACKS FUNDS
The Financing of the Election Said to be
a Hard Observation-Disclosures De-
cIares that the Candidates will have
to Make their Run on POpularity-Lit-
tie talk of Assembly.

In the Newark Sunday News yester-
day, the New Brunswick correspondent
for that paper declared that not only was
George S. Silzer's personal a%ntagonism
to Mayor George A, Viehmann one OF
the reasons for the mixup in the Middle
sex County Democrats, but there is a
new element which has made its strength
felt in the campaign this fall. Referring
to this the article says:
s'The new element came to the front
last summer, when the city of New Bruins
wick was torn over the application of the
Central New Jersey Telephone Company,
for a franchise to build a line in New
Brunswick.
"Millard F, Ross, William II. Price and
Charles A. Oliver, in New Brunswick
Oliver Kelly, in Metuchen; Patrick Con-
very, in Perth Amboy. These were all
the old leaders whom the new element
considered had run things long enough,
and, though there has never been any
open declaration of mutiny, it has been
evident to those who read surface indica-
lions that the wheels were not running
smoothly in the Democratic machine.
"But Viehmann has left New Bruins
wick for a business trip to northern New
York on the eve of the convention, and
he will not return until the middle of Oc-
tober. 1t is highly improbable, say the
~wiseacres, that his name will even be
mentioned in the convention, and it is I'M
derstood that he is not. a candidate for
the nomination.
1.-The fight has narrowed down to Ber-
nard M. Cannon, of Perth Amboy, and
John Quad, of SayreviIle. Cannon
made a splendid run for Assembly last
year,being the only Democrat elected on
