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.

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

ernment is manifesting a great desire to
show the powers that the United States
was first asked to send a delegate with

requested to nominate a delegate, and
immediately assented.

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?"
