WASHINGTON NOTES.

The President has appointed William

Secretary Sherman submitted fnan-
cial statement to the Cabinet at a meeting
the other day, showing that there is falling
off in the revenue receipts of the present fis-
cal year, thus far of S11 200, 900, as compared
with the corresponding time last year; also,
showing decrease Of $s,000,0OO in the Gov
eminent expenditures.
Numerous localities in Illinois and
Wisconsin were visited on the evening Of May
% by the storm-king, and suffered vast de-
struction of property and serious loss of life.
At Mineral Point, Wis, the tornado appears
from the results to have been the severest,
fully score OF dwelling-houses and other
buildings being utterly demolished and as
many more unroofed and otherwise in
jured. The contents of some were
blown fully half mile away. Eight
persons were killed outright, and many
others wounded, some of them beyond hope
Of recovery. The loss of property is esti-
mated at over 100000, without reckoning
horses, cattle, etc. Everything in the line of
the tornado is laid low, huge trees being
carried hundreds Of feet, huge rocks being
misplaced, the ground plowed up, etc. At
Paoli, Oregon, Mount Vernon and other
towns west Of Madison the hurricane was
nearly as severe as at Mineral Point. Houses
were unroofed, barns and fences Frustrated,
and many persons injured. On the same day
a tornado swept through the town of Barring
ton, Cook county, ILL.,, making havoc wherever
it struck the earth and killing three persons.
Another tornado swept through Brown county,
ILL.,, and three lives are reported lost.
The President has nominated Charles
Payson, Of Massachusetts,, Third Assistant
Secretary of State S. A. Brown, the present
Chief of the State Department, to be Consul

Several miners were killed by an ex-
plosion Of gas in a colliery near Halifax, N. s.,
last week.
A telegram from North Troy, VT,
says: ga correspondent of the Associated
Press visited several of the principal towns on
the Canadian border, and finds everywhere the
most intense excitement prevailing. The Do
minion militia are supplied with arms and am
munition, and are ready at an hours notice to
concentrate their forces to repel invasion on
the Canada border. The soldiers say no doubt
exists in their minds that an invasion is immi-
nent, and that the Irish Nationalists are now
in large numbers, with the greatest secrecy
possible, making their way into the interior
of Canada, with orders to concentrate at differ
emit points for an onslaught on Montreal, Que

ResuscItatfne browning Persons.

DIR. Howard, Medical Officer of New
York Harbor, recently explained ut the
receiving house of the Royal Humane
Society, London, his method OF resusci-
tating persons taken from the water IN
a state of insensibility. The principles
upon which he acts are those of clearing
away the water and mucus which pre-
vent the entrance of air into the lungs,
and the imitation of the movements OF
the chest in respiration. He first empties
the stomach and passages OF water.
For this he places the patient face
downward, puts q roll OF something
hard under the pit of the stomach, 80
that it is above the level of the mouth,
and then presses with all his force on
the back. Afterward, to set up artificial
breathing, instead of the partial rolling
of the body or the pumping action OF
the arms now practiced, the body is laid
upon the back with the clothes stripped
down to the waist. The pit OF the
stomach is now raised to the highest
point by something under the back. A
bundle of clothing or the body of another
man will do for this. The head is thrown
back, and the tongue must be drawn for
ward by an assistant, SO as to keep open
the air tubes. The hands are passed
above the head, the wrists crossed, and
the arms kept firmly extended. In this
position the chest is fully expanded.
The operator then kneels astride the
body, places his hands on the lower part
of the ribs, and steadily and gradually
makes compression. Balancing on his
knees, he inclines himself forward till
his face nearly touches that of the pa
tient, and so let's fall the whole weight
of his body upon the chest. When this
has yielded as much as it will, he throws
himself back, by sudden push, to his
first erect position of kneeling, and the
elastic ribs, by their expanding bellows
action, draw air into the lungs. These
maneuvers must be repeated regularly
twelve or fifteen times in the minute.

Chicago Sending Live Cattle to Ger
many.

John M. Wilson, United States Con-
sui at Hamburg, reports to the Secre-
tary of State that the export of live cat
tie from Chicago to Germany promises
to become business very remunerative
to both Germany and America. The
province of Schleswig- Holstein has long
been famous for its fertile pastures.
Cattle fattened there command. a higher
price than those fattened in any other
part of Europe, as they make superior
beef. Till lately, the province, which
breeds little stock of its own, has i'm
ported its lean cattle from Denmark.
The growing demand and the rise
IN the price of beef have caused
lean cattle to become so dear
were looked up. Some of the principal
cattle graziers dispatched one of their
steamers (the Schleswig) to New York
for a cargo of cattle, which were pur-
chased in Chicago and vicinity. The
steamer returned within six weeks after
date of sailing with cargo consisting of
800 lean cattle, COW, bulls, buffalo,
Is horses, 80 fattened hogs, and 104
head of fattened cattle, most of which
were landed at Southampton and sold
there at high prices. The rest of the
cargo discharged on the 9th of April at
Toeming. seaport town on the River
Elder, near the North sea, from which
all the cattle fattened in Schleswig- Hol-
stein are exported. The cattle, on landing,
were found to be in excellent condition,
having suffered but very little from the
sea voyage. The experiment was so
successful that the parties interested
have ordered their steamer to return for
another cargo. The Hamburg Consul
thinks it not unlikely that the graziers
of Schleswig- Holstein may come to i'm
port their entire supply from the Unit
ed States.

Coal i'm the British Islands.

Last year the output of coal in Great
Britain and Ireland was 132, 900. 600 tons.
A cubic mile is equal to LAT, 1913, 900, 000
cubic feet, and, allowing 29s cubic feet of
coal in the solid to weigh ton, we have
5000, 900, 600 tons of coal in cubic mile,
and this is a greater weight than has yet
been raised in the British islands. Ac-
cording to the most trustworthy statis-
tics, the end of 1873 will Just complete
the first cubic mile of coal, exclusive of
waste in mining. (London).
