WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-Gen. John w Foster,
of Indiana United States minister to Spain, ar
rived here this morning. direct from Madrid and
delivered the articles of the treaty with Spain,
signed by the Spanish Minister and himself To
the journal correspondent Gen. Foster declined
to express any specific opinion on the effect the
treaty will have but said it was good trade for
the United States, and gave her a large balance
of trade He had no doubt the Senate would rat
ify it and the House give it an enacting clause
He thought there was nothing in the treaty to
cause alarm to any class of merchants He be-
lieved the closing of Straiton & Storms
great New York cigar manufactory yesteI-
day, was because they had an overstock
and for the purpose OF cautioning Congress
against tariff tinkering and also securing an i'm
mediate expression in the House rs to what
would be done, if anything with tariff and in
ternal revenue matters this winter. General
Foster does not think the Spanish treaty can
materially affect our tobacco trade, as Spain's
tobacco exports to this country will be norn nal
1t will, however, reduce the price of sugar.
General Foster does not intend returning TO
Spain. He says he accepted the Spanish mis-
sion for the sole purpose of negotiating this
treaty, and now that his work Is done, he ex-
poets to remain here He will likely represent
Mexican interests here before the Court of
Claims, position he held before he went to

WASHINGTON, Dec. s. Postmaster general
Hatton recommends an immediate appropriation
of $1,000 for railroad postacar service for the
remainder of the year. In a letter sent to the
House to day he says:
1.-THE accomplishment of certain long.desired
improvements in the postal service, whereby
the time in transit between the East and the far
West has been reduced, has rendered it neces-
sery to establish a greater amount of railroad
postoffce car service than was anticipated when
the estimate submitted and the appropria
ton made for that object
Mr.. Hatton has also sent letter to the House
recomme nding an appropriation of $4,000 for
employment of additional clerks at Chicago,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, st. Louis,
San Francisco and in Eastern cities.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
French Interests in Madagascar Imperiled
by English Influence.

PARIS Dec. 8.-The report of the depositions
before the Madagascar committee was submitted
to the Chamber of Deputies o-day. Admiral
Galiber, for long time French commander in
Madagascar in his deposition said England had
tried to bring about an understanding between
France and the Hovas, but had failed because
the English residents in Madagascar who are
independent Methodsts, refused to be influenced
even by England, being permeated with
the traditional English hatred of France. The
Hovas, he said, would accept a French
protectorate, were it not for English influence
Ten thousand men, in his opinion would suffice
for an expedition to Antananariro, the capital
but he did not counsel an expedition. The bad
faith of the Hovas, he said, had rendered nego-
tiations with them out of the question. The
policy he approved was to occupy the important
points on the coast with French troops. and so
convince the Hovas that the French are resolved
to hold their rights If the Hovas understood
this they would probably yield.

GORDON AND THE REBELS.
The Rebels B eaten at Shendy and Repulsed
at Khartoum and Suakim.

LONDON, Dec. 8.-A messenger who reached
here yesterday from Khartoum says
the officer sent by General Gordon
to capture Shendy shelled the inhabitants
of the place and took many prisoners; also, that
small parties of rebels make daily attacks on
Khartoum, but are invariably repulsed with
heavy losses. The H+qhdi, he says, fears to
make any open attack, on the ground that it
would result in great slaughter of his followers.
The camel corps and three regiments under
Col. Stewart will arrive at Ambukol near the
end of this month, and will be ready to cross the
desert at Shendy, should General Gordon
urgently require their services Fifteen hundred
rebels attempted to-day to destroy the railway
at Suakim, but were repulsed by the Egyptian
cavalry.

Baptist Home Mission Funds.

New York, Dec. 8-The board of directors
of the American Baptist Home Missionary So
eiety met to-day. The treasurers report showed
such shortage of funds that the appointments
which were made were for terms of only six
months instead of one year, as usual, under ap-
prehension that there might not be money
enough to pay salaries and expenses for full
year. The societys embarrassment is largely
due to its having recently taken complete charge
of the missionary work among the Chinese on
the Pacific coast, and to large sums expended in
the church ediice and educational departments

Bishop simpson Dead.

Bishop Simpson, the senior Bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal church 7,
died at $50 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, June 1Sth,in Philadelphia.
He passed quietly away, surrounded
by wife and children.
Matthew Simpson was born in
Cadiz, Harrison County, Ohio, June
10th, 1910. He was educated at the
Madison College, which was after
wards merged into Allegheny Uni
versity, and was graduated there in
1882. In 1882 he took the degree Of
Doctor Of Medicine, and full
ly expected to settle down as a regu-
lar medical practitioner, but before
the year was ended he had decided
that the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal church was his mission.
In the second year of his ministry
he became pastor Of the Liberty
Street church, Pittsburg, where he
soon gave evidence of the eloQuence
which placed him eventually among
the great pulpit orators of the age.
In 1887 he was called from his pas
toral lab0rs to become professor of
natural science in Allegheny Uni
versity. He performed the duties of
his profession for two years, when he
was appointed president OF Indiana
Asbury University, at Greencastle,
Ind. Under his management the
college grew in strength and useful
ness. In 1848 DIR. Simpson was
elected to the editorship Of the West
ern Christian Advocate, OF Cincin-
natl. In 1852 he was elected Bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
by the general Conference, which
met in Boston.

The proboscis Of a gnat is an ex-

object. 1t is n membranous cylin-
der tube, clothed with minute
feather-like scales, and terminated
by two lips. The female has. the
most powerful proboscis and bites
the most severely. Some persons
are more liable to the assaults Of
gnats than others. And here i
viii say, for the interest Of the
grammar school, Of Martinsburg,
that it would be much more SEN
sible to purchase good micro
scope than to get telescope. If
