R 16, 1888 RUSSIAN TROOPS, Austria and Germany Alarmed at Their Numbers on the Frotier, [Copuright 1888 by Jam*s Gordon Bnnet.) Viessa, Nov. 15 ow York Herald Cablo—Special to Tue Bee,|—The gencral order issued by the Russian war department yesterday is one of more than ordinary interest to Austria and Germany. Itis regarded as affording official confirmation of rocent ac counts of the movements of troops from the north to the south and from the cast to the west of Russia, and forshadows further movements of the same kind toward the fron tiers of Austriaand Germany. 1f carried out these changes will raise the strength of the Russian forces on the frontiers of the two allied empires to an_ extent which cannot fail te produce alarm in the war ofiices in Vienna and Berlin. On comparing the new order of things with the old, it is found that the Twenty-ninth division, hitherto in Riga, in the north, is to be transferred to Koono, further south, close to the Prussian frontier that the ‘Twenty-fifth division, also in Riga, isto be removed to Minsk, not far from the Austrian froutier: that the whole second Cancasian army corps, consisting of divisions nincteen, twenty and twenty-one, with three brigades of artillery and one di- vision of Caucasian cavalry, are to be trans fored from Caucasus to Russia proper, the ninth division going to Kieff and two others to Riga, to replace those removed further south. Tne thirteenth cavalry division, with one regiment of Cossacks of the Don and two brigades of mounted artiilery, were removed last November from Moscow to Chelm. So that Russian forces in the three frontier governments—Villa, Warsaw and Kieff—already consist of cight army corps with twenty divisions of infantry and nine divisions of cavalry. Estimated ~altogether it covers 300,000,men on a peace footing. The increase of this enormous frontier force by three full divisions of infantry, all from Caucasus, forms therefore such a distur bance of the military cquilibrium of the frontier, that Germany and Austria cannot escape the necessity of attempting to re-es. tablish it by likewise sending new divisions 10 provinees conterminous with Russia. On the bourse it was rumored that two divisions now in Bohemia had already received marching orders for Galiciaand it will not be surprising to find the report turn out substantially true, - = ALL IN ONE DAY.

I the ffty-ninth round Kilrain dealt him a blow that” would have felled an ox, and we all thought it had tled the fight, but it did not. Smith gradually recovereds indeed, nedto gather rencwed strength, In many of the rounds there was searcely a blow struck. Kilrain simply went forward and threw Smith to_the grass, as if he did not care to vunish him too severely.” **What do you think of Sullivan?" “Falways believed that Sullivan was a ereat boxer, but not a fighter; there is a big difference botween the two. 1believe Mitchell would have beaten him i1 his hand had held out.
