TOPICS OF THE WEEK II 'tl?ITltTTtTTTrTTtTtTntmtTTTmf .1 ENGLISH AK.MY COUPS. The unit of an English army corp3 .i the Infantry battalion, composed of Ight companies of infantry. Four battalions, having two machine guns each, v. it h a detachment of the army service orpä, form an infantry brigade.

GREAT ENGINEERINTTfka I . A remarkable engineering feat, with Important consequences to agriculture, has been accomplished in Colorado. This is the diversion of some of the Lead waters of the Grand river fr:m the western to the eastern side of th" Rocky mountains. Water which would naturally How into the xrulf of Callfornia is diverted through a pass 10.000 feet high, and n iter being used for Irrigation finds its way into the gulf cf Mexico. Th water thus diverted has a volume of about 4); eubic feet a second. The enterprise encourages a . j - , in which case a large area of land needing irrigation on the Atlantic 6lope of Colorado may fertilized from the excess of water on the Pacific elope. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. The republican national committee tas been called to meet on Dee. 15. The primary purpose of the meeting is to decide date and place for holding the next nation il convention. Cnica0, New York. Rostor., Philadelphia. Kansas City, Detroit. Denver, San Francisco. Cincinnati, St. Paul, Louisville and Milwaukee are applicants. The convention ili probably meet in June The coming session will take up the matter of representation in the convention. It is proposed to grant representation according to ot polled In ISO;-. Thi would give the balance of power to the states east of the Ohio river. It is therefore not likely that the convention will accept the proposal. LONDON NEWSPA PERS. As an instance of the enterprise ot eorue of the London newspapers, and also as proof of the intense interest taken in the South African war, the "war bulletin" scheme recently put Into operation by some English journals is interesting. These papers offer to send to subscribers who apply and prepay the telegraph tolls three special private telegrams each day, giving the latest news from the seat of war. The telegrams are sent out at noon and 5 end 7 o'clock each evening, unless news cf extreme importance is received, when it is sent out without waiting for the regular tirn The only expense attached to the service is the prepayment of the telegraph toll. AS TO SAMOA. The Samoan question is advanced toward a final settlement by an agreement between Germany and Great Britain. Tutuila, the smallest of tho three chief Samoan Islands, is to belong to the United States, to which it Is Important because It has the harbor of Pago-Pap-). Germany acquires eole possession of the other two islands by ceding to Great Britain two of the Eamoan islands, and relinquishing her interest in the Tonga group. The consent of the United States is necessary to this arrangement, but it Is not prob able that it will be withheld. MRS. GRIDLEVS DISTRESS. That Is net a pleasant item of ne-rs that comes from Erie, Pa., recounting that Mrs. Harriet Gridley. widow of Capt. Charles V. Gridley of Dewey's P.agsnlp at Manila, Is in distress from poverty. Since the death of her husband she has struggled hard to make a livlnt fcr herself and children, aided by her liest daughter, wlu Is an underpaid kindergarten teacher. Though he herself has declined to make her troubles public, the fart has become known. Now that it is known, private generosity will undoubtedly hasten to her relief In so e manner which will not embarrass her. DIFFICULTIES OF THE HARPERS. Some regret will be felt ovar the financial difficulties which hare caused the assignment of the publishing firm of Harper Bros. The fact that, in addition to th heavy mortgage of $3.C00.000 held by J. Pierpont Morgan, there are also unsecured liabilities o' $2.000.000 indicates the extent o the indebtedness, whatever the assert may be with vl.ich to offset it. That the firm was not In a prosperous state hat long been known. ANOTHER NATIONAL CONVENTION.
