Pacific land grant, but the latter road a
year ago or so Transferred the grant to the
Southern Pacific.
There is no report in the case of the At
lsntic and Pacific land grant A few days
ago there seemed nothing in the way of the
New Orleans Pacific getting the Backbone
land grant, but il is reported that Payson, Of
Illinois, a member OF Judiciary Committee,
e day or two ago wrote a sharp letter 10 the
Secretary OF the Interior, which will have
the effect of delaying the secretsry's sciion
until Congress passes upon the matter.
This land grant question is assuming con-
siderable Importance. No doubt the railway
companies are prepared TO spend consider
able money to s1ve their grants. This Is 9
vaot5se, as more than half the members
will end their careers as statesmen with this
Congress.
Cobb, who frst stirred up this land grant
business, says that no Western man who
hopes for political prefefment will dare 20
vote in the interest OF the railways.
pIPHTHERlA.
WHERE IT OCCURS = SOME INTERESTING NOR
TALLY STATISTICS.
WAsBINoToN, December 5.-The mortal
ity statistics collected by the census bureau
furnish come interesting points with regard
to the distribution of certain diseases. The
number of deaths duriog the census year
reported as due 10 diphtheria il, males, 49,
S4e; females, 49, $40; total, 1898; giving a
proportion of 5l.33 per thousand of all
deaths in which the causes are reported.
The Total number of deaths from diphtheria
under one year OF age was 2S96; under five
-se~s--of-ss--is ~ss 2o, ,035; be, ween -Grc- rrd
fifteen years Of age, 1852. In the North
Atlantic States the proportion of deaths
from diphtheria 10 the total number oil
deaths having recorded csuses was 51.29 per
thousand. being in the cities 46.71 per thou.
sand and in the small towns and rural dis.
tricis, 53 80. In the Gulf cosst States the
proportion of deaths from diphtheria was
but 1916 per Thousand (l374 in New
Orleans and 1927 elsewhere), and in
the lake regions it was Sl.l5. Six cities,
from Rochester 10 Cbicsgo, give an
average Of 1915 and the remsinder of the
region 84 10 per ihorsand. The statistics
Of enteric or typhoid fever are equally
Instructive. The total number OF deaths
from typhoid fever reported are: Males,
II ,S52; females, II ,O53; total, 22,905, being
In the proportion of 3I.2l per thousand OF
all deaths having reported causes. In the ,
North Atlantic States the proportion ol
deaths from this cause was 16 26 per thou
sand in the large cities and 10 % in the
country. In New Orleans it was 767 and
in the rest of the Gulf States 30O2. In the
lake region the deaths from typhoid were
17.16 per thousand 10 the large cities and
q 81 in the remainder of this region. II
will be seen from these figures that neither
diphtheria nor enteric lever are especially
diseases OF the large cities. They appear to
be more prevalent in the small towns and
rural districts which have no general wafer
supply or systems OF sewerage, but obtain
their water from springs and wells and OBJ
serve the usual custom of storing e1cfetd in
cesspools or vaults.

STEAMER SUNK.


STEAMER SUNK.
LIVERPOOL, December 5.-The Allan-Li
steamer Peruvian, from Montreal, while en-
tering the river Mersey this morning, ,collided
with an unknown steamer. The Peruvian
was considerably damaged, and lies sunk on
Crosby beach. The crew and passengers were
saved.
Later.-The Peruvian was cut down to the
waters edge amidships. The weather was
thick at the time of the collision. Tugs
landed the crew and passengers here. Hopes
are entertained that the breach may be re-
paired and the vessel hoated. The vessel
with which the Peruvian collided is a
steamer of the Clan Line. Her fore compart-
mennt is full Of water, and she has been
dccked.

JAMAICA.
THE TROUBLES THERE NOT HALF so BAD AS
THEY ARE PAINTED.
NEW YORK, December 5.-The World
says that gentleman who has recently re-
turned from the island of Jamaica in an in
terview said: "The accounts that have been
published of the troubles in the island of
Jsmaica are greatly exaggerated. The whole
difficulty has been caused by a few hot
headed malcontenis, who make a business of
stirring up dissatisfaction whenever they
can. Like the socialists and snti-monopolists
here, they are always ready TO take adyan-
| tage of any passing political discord 10 ad-
| vance their own personal ends. The popu-
| lation OF the island numbers about 100000.
| Only 10000 are whites, the remainder being
| blacks The inhabitants found it impossible
| to govern themselves and asked England Tor
| a government. Sir Anthony Musgraye, as
| cAptain-general and governor-in-chief, is as
| sisted by a council, half of the members OF
it being appointed by the imperial govern
| ment and the remainder being chosen by
| the islanders. About a year ago Glibuster
landed a cargo or firearms on the island
| from the schooner Florence and stored
| them there. Thereupon the governor
by the advice of the attorney general
| refused to allow the army to be removed un-
| less the owners would sign \ bond agreeing
not to use them for hlibusteriDg purposes.
This they refused to do, and appealed to the
council to indemnify them. In this or any
other country they would not have been
listened TO, but the council of the island de-
cided to pay them and settled upon sum

| imperial government was 10 pay half sno
the island the remainder. Before this was

the council resigned, and went about tbs

THE GUiTEAU TRIAL.
JUDGE COX.

Now that the trial of Guiteau is over
fat least 50 lar as Judge Cox is concerned.
tiitis seems proper time to refer To his
SoEuectiou Herewith. The press is St
hnuch a power in this country, its in1lu
'eIce 50 wide and its expressions so mucH
t.cjcrccd to and adopted by the people
i.hal the utmost caution ought to be oh
served, est its blame or praise may un-
Il" spring OF motive except the enlighten
e1 conscience of the actor. For these
reasons. we have deprecated the whole
ale criticism of Judge Cox by the press
bl the country, during the trial. If there
ts anything which ought to be entirely

pu-it to proceed with perfect calmness
FtHd entire freedom from popular passion
hnd the excitement of the hour, it is a
lie:jicial trial, and especially one in which
he life of u human being is at stake. If
khc course which Judge Cox adopted was
tne right one, then he had sufficient COM
r,cndation in the approval of his own
Conscience: if it was wrong, there was no
Eanbt that a terrible punishment awaited

F'ilities which oppressed him resting on
