game played at Milton a week ago
Sunday will be settled this week by

THREE-CORNERED RACE.
America, England and Italy Seeking
 Transcaucasian Trade.

London, Feb 9.--A lively competi- ton for transcaucasian trade appears to have sprung up among the Ameri- can. British and Italian interests working there. The British consul at Batum in a report published in the Board of Trade Journal states that members of the American relief com- mittees are busily engaged in open ing up trade with America. The Brit ish still lead in inportations he ac- Serts.
 The consul states that hitherto little else but flour and clothing for distribution to Armenian refugees and persons of other naIonalities in dis tress have reached this country from the United States, but the attention which is being paid to the Trans Caucasus by American interests points to an appreciable increase in Ameri- = can trade in the near future"
 The Italian mission. as part of it's campaign, has established q fort nightly service of passenger and cargo steamers between Triest and Batum. The route takes the boats through the northern Black Sea and stops are made at CaucaSion ports.

At HatcSer'S Run Capt. Armes, aft ! CT two attacks had been repulsed with heavy losses, volunteered to lead & 1 third attempt to cross the 30-foot stream. Grasping a log, he started l swimming, calling upon his men to follow. AS he gained the further bank he was bayoneted in the face He dropped, but the enemy breast works were taken by his followers. That night an order was issued by Gen. Miles, complimenting Capt. Armes and breveting him a major. He was then 22 years old. He recovered from his wound and served through all the operations until Lees surren- der at Appomattox
 With the coming of peace Arnes was commissioned second lieutenant
 in the regular cavalry and assigned to duty in the west.
 It was not long before Armes was
 again mentioned in orders. With a detachment of troopers he had swoop- ed down upon a band of hostile In dians who had been mErderi
 whites and running off their cattle
 on the North Platte river. The In
 dians were taken by surprise and most of them bolted. Their tents
 were burned and every head of stol- en stock was recovered.
 In January, 1887, word reached
 Fort Sedgwick, where Armes was stationed. that 30 wood choppers were beleaguered by the Indians and in a fair way to be starved. frozen or massacred if help did not come. Armes and his detachment of 10 troopers rescued the men and when
 Gen. Grant heard of the exploit he
 ordered Armes commissioner a cap
 tain.
 He was then assigned to the Tenth , Cavalry, stationed at Fort Hays, on
 the Kansas frontier. He was g years
 old and the youngest cavalry captain
 ever in the regular army. In his next
 Indian fight he was shot through the
 hip.
 In 1869 Armes caused the arrest of two officers in his command, accusing
 them of selling army mules for their own profit. The prisoners had influ- ential friends and Armes suffered for
 his firmnesS. Almost continuously from that time he was in bitter con- fict with the auth critics at Washing ton.
 Not long after President Harrison's inauguration Major Armes distin guished himself once more this time
 by tweaking the nose of Gov. Beaver,
 of Pennsylvania. The governor had
 first made Armes member of his staff for the inaugural parade. Then,
 to oblige the majors enemies, the
 governor had changed his mind about
 It.
 After being placed on the retired
 list Major Armes continued to live in
 Washin gton. where he entered the
 real estate business, in which he is
 said to have made million dollars.
 He was greatly interested in behalf
 of the Boers against England during
 the South African war and hoasted of
 having been the means of sending 2S.G00 recruits to the Boer colorS.

for Washington. Through his &C., quaintance with southerners he learn ed of a projected raid upon the na- tiona1 capital and hastened to Secre- tary Seward with the information. Secretary Seward made the lad his messenger as a. reward.
 Young Armes acted as guide to Federal troops when they first crossed the Potomac into Virginia. He was twice wounded before the first battle of Bull Run was fought and received a third bullet in that engagement. In the spring of 1862 he enlisted in the Sixteenth Virginia Volunteers and 1t was not long before he was given a lieutenant's commission.
 The next year found him serving on Gen. Hancock's staff. During an en- gagement he was detailed to carry a message from Hancock to Burnside. He took a straight course which led him in front of the lines and into view of both armies. His horse was shot and as the animal fell 1t pinned its rider 10 the ground. Extricating himself and managing to capture a loose horse on the battlefield, Lieut.. Armes rode to Burnside in safety and aided in a readjustment of the union forces. His gallantry won him 8 cap- taincy in the Second New York Ar tillerv
