Since tie outbreak of cholera in
Spain the increase in the number of
eases and in mortality has constantly
incrcHsal While it has decreased in
some localities the Improvement has
been more than counterbalancc,l by an

eases reported daily now amount t"
nearly six thousand and the deaths
nearly two thousand.
Since the outbreak there have been
officially reported l>7,5G5 cases and
..22.3l7 deaths, neither Of which total
is likely correct, the true number be

raging, two hualrel deaths having

Great improvements have been made
during the summer, but they have been
made, hcle and there, over an immense
area, and are not directly apparent to
q casual observer. In drive which |
took yesterday | counted over two
hundred new buildings either i'll the
course of erection or finished during the
season. The improvements at the Cap,
itol for which nearly Il million OF DOL
lars were appropriated last year will
add greatly to the symmetry as wellas to

constantly going on, and if they are
continued for ten years longer the pro-

able than that of the past decade.
The Washington papers are discuss
ing the style of mon lment to be erect

Prevailing opinion seems to favor an
arch similar to the arch de Tiompho
in Paris. One artist. who has an eye
to the useful as we'll as the commcmo-
rative in art, has proposed Il stupcn
dous stone bridge with a single arch
spanning the Potomac from Obsersa-
tory Hill to Arlington: the latter place
is now a cemetery where thousands Of
the soldiers Of the late war are buried
it was formerly the home of Gen. Lee,
Such a bridge spanning the Potomac
would be in itself profoundly suggcs
tive, and memorial art could make it
all that could be desired as a monu-
nIent to Grant.
According to a prominent official of

Lamar is once more rclapSlng into his

Whe Mr.. Lamar was appointed there
was Il general feeling that he WAS not
enough of a practical worker to attend

Lively contest with Rats.

An Oswego special says f. 5. Bar
den. a well-known farmer Of the town
of Candor. Broome county, entered q
pig-sty on his farm a few days ago to
make some needed repairs. IL had not
been used for some time. At the first
stroke Of his hammer two large rats
ran out of a hole in the floor and at
tackled Dir. Barden. lie kicked at one OF
the rodents. and it set up loud squeal-
ing. In response to the cry rats swarm
cd into the sty from holes and creylceS
on every side. They sprang upon HIM
and endcayored 10 reach his face. Bar
den called his dog. large st. Bernard,
which came promptly up to the spot and
lcaped in among the little animals. The
rats turned their attention to the dog and
gave Barden an opportunity to leave the
sty. Aiming himself with long club he
returned to assist the dog, which had
killed a number of rats. The survivors,
however. fought as furiously as ever.
For ten minutes the battle ragged, and
then. only half dozen rats being lett
they reireated. The floor OF the sly
was covered with dead rats. The dog
was red with blood from the savage
bites of the rats. which were OF I'M
usual size. some Of them measuring
nearly foot in length. They were OF
deep gray color, and are believed to
be colony Of the rats which have been
annoying the farmers of Bradford and
Susauehanna counties. Penn. for some
months. None like them have ever
been seen anywhere else in the neigh
horhood

WASHINGTON, February 1.-THE
naval appropriation bill, as reported to
the House of Representatives to-day,
provides for the appropriation OF $780,
5I5.s3e. The estimates for the next
fiscal year were $50. 654, oil, more than
one half of which was for increase Of
the navy. In lieu Of the estimates for
the increase of the navy. Mr.. Randalls
proposition providing for the appoint
ment of board to consider and report
to Congress plans of vessels for the
navy, and making an indefinite appro-
priation for the building of such vessels
as may be recommended by the board,
was adopted.
The members Of the committee favor
ing the proposition were Messrs. Ran
dali. Forney, Ellis, Hancock, Hutchins,
Follett, Burnes, Washburn. and Long.
Those opposed were Holman, Town.
shend. Keifer, Cannon, and Horr. Mr..
Ryan was absent.
This same board is authorized to con-
slider whether the five unfinished mont
tors are suffering from their present in
complete condition, and whether they
shall be completed and armed. An APP

wAsnrxorox. February i7.--To-
days telserams report railroad block
sde IN the East almost ss complete and
effective a. in the West. All trains on
the Rome, Wetertown and 0glcnsburg
railroad, in northern New York, were
abandoned yesterday, snd four trains
which were stuck in drills yesterday
still remain there. A number Of trains
are stuck in drifts or held At small way
stations at different points In Vermont
and New Hampshire. Travel on the
New York Central was much impedcd.
The same was the case with the Della
ware, Lackswsnna and Western both
in New York and Pennsylvania. The
Grand Trunk is blockaded at several
points in Canada, both east and west,
and some Of the trains are in snow
drifts. No interruption has as yet oc-
CURED on the main line Of either the
Pcnnsylyania or Baltimore and Ohio
railroads, but elsewhere in New
England, New York, and Pennsylvania
scarcely road exists which has not
suffered to considerable extent. In
Vermont the snow last week was two
feet deep, with hard crust upon IT.
One foot in addition fell Sunday and
Monday, and high winds drifted this
into the railroad cuts and closed the
roads completely. On some roads the
efforts to keep communication open and
move freight has resulted in strewing
roadsides with disabled locomotives and
derailed freight and passenger-cars. A
great many passengers are spending to-
night between stations.

Chicago Eleetion.Bribery Case.
fBy tele1ra nh TO the Dispatch.

CHICAGO, February 1.-THE con-
fcssion Of j. j. Sullivan, witness for
the defence in the Mackin case, to the
effect that for fonr silver dollars and
promise Of place in the Government
Printing Office in Washington he COM
mitted perjury, and that the testimony
be gave last week was entirely at Mac
kin's dictation, has produced the great
est CONSERVATION among the parties i'm
plicated. 0'Brien, the man who is al
legged to have acted as the go-between
for Mackin and Sullivan, and who first
preached the Mackin "scheme F" to
the latter, was arrested this morning.
Warrants were also issued for the ar
rest of Titman and Simons, two other
of Mackin's witnesses. When the trial
came on in the Federal court to-day
Sullivan went upon the witness-stand
and rehearsed the story told in his afli-
davit of his subornation by Mackin to
commit perjury. The revelation evil
IDENTIFY created sensation in the jury
box. The members Of the jury are
being closely guarded and are not al
lowed to read the papers, and they had
had no intimation Of what was coming.
Titman, owner of the presses on
which Sullivan swore he printed the
tickets on the night Of November Sd.
was also arrested, and confessed that
he also swore falsely in saying that he
rented the presses to Sullivan on that
occasion; that W. G. Gallagher, one of
the defendants, approached him on the
subject about three weeks ago, and that
it was subsequently arranged between
himself, Gallagher, and Mackin that he
should give this false evidence.
Titman was put upon the stand again
this afternoon and swore to substan-
tally the above facts. To-day's reye-
lations have created decided sensation,
as they break down the entire theory of
the defence and leave the damaging teS-
timoDy of prosecution uncontradicted
except by Mackin, the principal de-
PENDANT. who testified this afternoon
that he did not hire Sullivan to commit
perjury.
