THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
$1,500,000. A good system of sewerage would be as 
repellant to Yellow Jack as was Ben Butler. 
Kearney Is organizing a secret society In San Fran¬ 
cisco, whose alleged object is the hanging of aU 
merchants who employ Chinese. Any attempts In 
that direction would put Kearney In the predica¬ 
ment in which he would have found himself, had 
he burned General Grant In effigy. Major Reno 
has been getting drunk again, insult ing a married 
woman and lighting with brother oltloers, who In 
both cases whipped the sot. Only the clemency 
of the President prevented him from being dis¬ 
missed from the service for a similar offense some 
time ago. lie Is again to be court-martialed, and 
whatever sentence may be Imposed will this time, 
it is likely, be executed. 
The total product, from gold and silver mines In 
this country since mining began In California Is 
estimated at, $1,0 IT, 000 , 000 . The value of staple ag¬ 
ricultural products harvested this year alone Is 
$i00,out),000 larger. Alaskan explorers report one 
of the largest rivers In the world, the Yukon, as 
navigable for steamers ssou miles, and at soo 
miles from its mouth It receives a very large 
navigable tributary. The hasln formed by the 
confluence Is 24 miles wide. The Yukon is nearly 
as large as our .Mississippi. Indians are every¬ 
where, and war between tribes Is a tlxed Institu¬ 
tion. There Is snow lor six months, ubd without 
roads dog sledges And good traveling. Game 
abounds and the Indians have an easy life. The 
grand aggregate of the army roll Is 2187 ofllceis 
and 2-1,262 men In sendee and 388 Officers retired. 
The Treasury’s monthly statement shows the 
extraordinary decrease of $10,352,906 in the 
Cnlted States debt In October. Wonder If It Is 
altogether accidental that so good a showing was 
made Just before the elections. 
A new association has just been Inaugurated In 
this city for the sale of horses, 't he board of direc¬ 
tors Includes the names or some of the wealthiest 
and most noted lovers of horse-flesh In the city. 
Such as W. 11. Vanderbilt, Leonard Jerome, etc., 
its object Is to lorm tt perfectly trustworthy 
medium for the sale of all kinds of equine stock 
here and abroad. Farmers and others throughout 
the country can become associate members by the 
payment of a small fee, and to all such members 
veterinary advice will be furnished gratis. By next 
week we shall be able to give our readers full par¬ 
ticulars of the movement, which we believe to be 
a good one, tending greatly to their Interest. 
FOREIGN. 
An alliance, It is reported, has been concluded 
between the Balkan Principalities, ostensibly 
against foreign Intervention, but really against 
Austria. The treaty stipulates that. In the event 
of Austria extending her operations beyond Novi 
Bazar, Servlu will furnish 120,two men, Montenegro 
20,000 and Bulgaria 90,000 to form an allied army, 
and that tsorvla will advance Montenegro 75,000 
ducats for military expenses. The appointment 
of a commander-in-chief in left open for the pres¬ 
ent. It Is believed Unit the appointment of a 
Russian general was originally contemplated. The 
war In South America between chill, on one side, 
and Peru and Bolivia on the other, seems drawing 
to a close. At the Chilian legation In New York 
city Tuesday, the news of the capture of the Pera- 
vlan town Pesagua was confirmed. It is claimed 
that the capture was attended with Important 
strategic results. The Chilians thus place them¬ 
selves between tbe Peruvian forces at Arlca, Tl- 
cara and Iqulque and the sea, and cut off their 
supplies, thus forcing Iqulque to surrender. Don 
Abelardo Menez, of the Chilian legation, says that 
Peru is greatly crippled, lie expects that the re¬ 
cent Chilian successes will compel Peru to sue xor 
peace. 
The details of the capture of the Peruvian Iron¬ 
clad lluascar are given by a Lima letter. The 
Huascar carried 24U men, two 200 -pounds rifled 
Armstrong guns In her turrets and two 40 -pound¬ 
ers on deck, while her plating was four Inches of 
Iron. The Chilian lron-clads Encalada and Coch¬ 
rane had each six 300-pounds rifled guns and nine 
Inches of Iron plating. They, with the gunboats 
O’Lllgglns and Loa, overhauled the lluascar and 
the gunboat Union, October s, but the latter es¬ 
caped by her superior speed. A terrific flght en¬ 
sued In the harbor of Mejtllones, and the lluascar 
was crushed, captured and towed away, after 
badly damaging her adversaries. T he loss of lire 
was great. Peruvian Admiral Grau was killed 
early In the action, and his executive officer, Capt. 
Aguirre, was fatally wounded, while only four 
other Peruvian officers are reported as surviving. 
Admiral Grau's wife died from the shock 01 hear¬ 
ing of her husband’s death. The loss of the lluas¬ 
car Is severely felt in Peru, but the war enthusi¬ 
asm is Increased, and a commission bus been sent 
to Europe to purchase new vessels and armaments. 
In Lima 200,000 solos have been subscribed for a 
new tron-elad, to be called the Admiral Grau. 
In Europe the German-Austilan alliance is still 
the subject of most Interest, To counterbalance 
It, there Is a good deal of talk of a coalition of the 
Latin nations—France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, 
Reports vary greatly as to the health of Bismarck 
—some say he Is much prostrated and in poor con¬ 
dition ; others that he is as well as ever. England 
seems to be drawing closer Gian usual to the new 
Teutonic alliance, and receding Just so much from 
her late friendship with France. The floods In 
Spain still divide attention with the approaehtug 
marriage or the King. The destruction of life and 
property was even more widespread and disastrous 
than was at first Imagined. 
Yakub Khan is now ou Ills trial for complicity 
In the massacre or the British In Cabool, and evi¬ 
dence Is rast accumulating against him. It seems 
It was not the original Intention to murder Oavng- 
narl and ills followers; but merely to so frighten 
them—killing perhaps a few—that they might 
consider their lives insecure at Cabool, and retire 
to India. The soldiery, however, having been 
urged on to assault the residence of the British 
were exasperated by the vigorous fusllade opened 
upon them, and In their wrath at the death of 
upwards of 200 of their number by the handful of 
English, they went further than was Intended, 
and finally the Khan In his alarm, permitted the 
destruction of the entire party,on the ground that 
dead men tell no tales. At present he Is a close 
prisoner and If convicted will probably remain 
so for his lifetime.
