-Gravest apprehensions are enter
tanned in reference to the turn of affairs
in Albania. The Porte has commenced
warlike preparations, and the present in
dications are that the Greek frontier ques-
ton will not be settled without q resort
| to arms.
Judge Porter, First Controller of
the Treasury Department, has decided
that the National Board of Health can
use the unexpended balance, 500, 900, of
the money appropriated when it was first
organized for the construction of quaran-
tine stations and buildings.
The gross receipts from internal rev.
enue for the fiscal year ending June SOth,
viii be, in round numbers, 1928 900, 900.
This is an increase of 10000, 900 over
the last year, and $4,000, 900 over the es-
Inmates. The increase has been derived
from whiskey, cigars and cigarettes.
"A little child was brought to the
Morgue in New York City few days ago
supposed to be dead. 1t happened that
two physicians were present at the time,
one of whom discovered signs of life, and
they Immediately attempted resuscitation;
in which, after several hours labor, they
wer successful, and the child was fully re-
stored.
Returns from the bureau of statistics
show that the excess of the value of the
exports of merchandise over imports of
of merchandise during the first eleven
months of the current fiscal year amount
ed to 1856, 579, o6S, as against an excess
of the value of exports over imports du-
ring the corresponding months of the pre-
ceding fiscal year of $25s,457,os6.
The Austrian bark Fresie Dukrovac-
tie, Port Dessaix, Hayti, for Boston, pnt
into New York Wednesday night of last
week, in distress. While at sea the crew,
with the exception of the mate and two
sailors, were stricken with yellow fever,
and Saturday night one sailor died. Six
of the sailors of the bark were sick with
fever at the time of arrival, and were re-
moved to the quarantine hospital.
"A whaling captain declares that a
new breed of whales have made their ap-
pearance in the Arctic seas. They are
supposed to have come from the open sea
at the pole. They are Very much larger
than the old whales, and very gentle and
confding In former years when whale
was harpooned the rest of the herd threw
up their iukes and made of. The new
breed do not seem to mind in the least
the capture of one of their number.
Great excitement attends the execu-
ton of the official DEGREES of Punishment
pronounced against the Jesuits IN France
The doors of their establishments had to
be forced by the police in many instances,
and the monks went 80 far as to lock
themselves in their cells, from whence
they were dragged by the police, and
compelled to begin their march to the
frontier. Immense crowds gather at every
point of interest, and hostile demonstra.
tions are made by citizens in sympathy
with the Jesuits.
AN Englishman who travelled up the
Nile states that his beard, which at home
was straight, soft and silky, began imme-
diately on arriving at Alexandria to curl,
and to grow crisp, strong and coarse. Be-
fore reaching Els Souan it resembled horse
hair to the touch and was disposed in
ringlets. He accounts for this by the ex-
ceeding dryness of the air, and considers
that in the course of many generations it
permanently curled and crisped the hair
of negroes. The hair on the travellers
head was not affected.
"A very dangerous counterfeit of Ma
tional Bank Notes is in circulation. BY
means of skeleton " plates, notes can be
counterfeited on any national bank of the
country of the denomination of 800. The
counterfeit is in several respects much
better than the genuine, the work on
which is not at all we'll executed. Coun-
terfeits have already appeared on the Ma
tional Revere Bank of Boston, Massachu-
sets, the Pittsburg National Bank, Penn
sylvania, Mechanics National Bank of
New Bedford, Massachusetts, and the Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, Maryland.
The Sny levee, which begins at a
point between Quincy, ILL.,, and Hannibal,
Mo-. and ends near Alton, broke on June
SOth at what is known as the "cut off,
just above Cincinnati Landing and fifteen
miles below Hannibal By noon the Gre
vase was five hundred feet wide and con-
stantly increasing in size. There are
several other dangerous places in the en-
bankment which will doubtless give way.
1t seems impossible to prevent the flood
ing of a vast area of rich farming lands
protected by the levee. 1t is impossible
to compute the damage, but it will aggre-
gate several hundred thousand dollars.
