NO. 296 - MEXICAN WAR NEXT She is Anguishing for a Fight, SHE WANTED TO SEE THE SIGHTS (A Prisoner Shot, m Murderer Haortd, and an Earl Dead Such Is the News. Amenability of Kegular Troop. Washington, Dec. 7. A very impor tant opinion as to the amenability of of ficers of the regular army to the juris diction of municipal courts was rendered today. In response to a request from the secretary of war, the attorney-general rendered an opinion to the effect that the expression "laws of the land," in the 59 th article of war, includes city or dinances and by-laws, and therefore that a soldier may be arrested, tried and punished by the proper civil authovities for the violation of a city ordinance, and that if he escapes to a military reserva tion, his surrender may be demanded by the proper civil authorities, and should be made by the military officer in com mand." This opinion, if sustained, will have a far-reaching effect upon the use of soldiers in organized municipalities, army officers fearing that in certain cases the army will be powerless to act in cases of disorder similar to that which existed in Chicago, if a board of alder men pass an ordinance prohibiting the pnblic appearance of troops under arms. The 'Seattle Tlegraph Bought by the Fost-Intelllgencer. Seattle, Dec. 7. A. bill of sale of the Seattle Telegraph to the Post-Intelligencer was filed with the auditor today. The consideration is specified as $1 and other valuable considerations -to assume a debt of $10,283 on typesetting machines, otherwise the Telegraph is to be deliv ered free of all incumbrances. The Post-Intelligencer agrees to carry out the city printing and advertising con' tracts as far as possible, but reserves the right to reject any. A mortgage was also filed today by the Post-Intelligencer ' for $100,000 to Jacob Forth, banker, as trustee, on the Post-Intelligencer and Telegraph plants. The Post-Intelli gencer wiil issue bonds for $100,000. u a tern alalia Killing: Mexicans on the frontier. City op Mexico, Dec. 7. The latest reports from the Guatemalan frontier state a Mexican colonel, member of the staff of General Lullane, has been assas sinated by Guatemalans, and from on official sources it is learned a company of 170 Mexicans had a skirmish with 400 Guatemalan guerrillas, in which two Mexican soldiers were killed. This par ticular body of mounted Gautemalans are reported still hovering about the vicinity of the Mexican troops, but it is believed, after making the attack, they retired to the Guatemalan side of the in ternational line. Should official inform ation confirm these reports it is highly probable the Mexican government will at once demand reparation in a satis factory manner for the outrages. Another Break by Cleveland. Constantinople, Dec. 7. President Cleveland has sent a cable message here, saying he has reconsidered his decision not to send an American delegate with the Turkish commission appointed to in quire into the Armenian outrages, and will allow the American legation here to nominate a delegate. The Turkish gov ernment is manifesting a great desire to show the powers that the United States was first asked to send a delegate with the Armenian commission, but declined The Earl of Kimberley, British eecre ' ary of state, of foreign affairs, was also requested to nominate a delegate, and immediately assented.

Gov't Report WEALTH IN CIGAR STUBS. Remarkable Work o. a Collector of the Refuse. The story told by - Mr. Jonathan "! Pinchbeck at North . London police court the other day is so remarkable as fully to deserve the prominence that has been 'given it in the press, says London Truth. Mr. Pinchbeck, among other striking' statements, asserts that from January, 1876, to January, 1S'J3, he picked up on his way to and from work in the neighborhood of Clapton 600,000 cigar ends, which he valued at 1,800. He estimates the distance cov ered in these daily walks at 11,823 miles. Even allowing him a walk on Sundays, this would mean that for seventeen years he picked up very nearly 100 cigar ends per day in the course of less than a two-mile walk. Each walk would not have taken him much, over an hour.- Further, in seven teen years he collected tobacco to the value of 1,800, which means a return of about 106 per annum, or over 40 shilling's per week, for an hour's work per day. If this can be done in the neighborhood of Clapton, he returns would be vastly -greater in the West End, where cigar ends are presumably more plentiful. The vicar of All Souls', Clapton, has written to the papers to guarantee that Mr. Pinchbeck is a de serving -man. If the vicar can also guarantee that he is a truthful one, a new and lucrative industry has been discovered. A Little lilt Thick. James Payn recalls in a certain mess room the conversation after dinner turning upon a Capt. Mosely in the regiment, who had the gift of prophecy; though it must be confessed it was mainly limited to sporting- events. A guest who had drunk quite as much champagne as was good for him ex pressed incredulity to his next neigh bor, who, with a most courteous bow, observed: "Well, that is an opinion I can hardly discuss with impartiality, because Jam Mosely." "I do not doubt that at all," was the rejoinderr "but are you mosely right?" Specimen Cases. . S. H.
