How the Porte's Army Has Been Mis-
managed--No Clothes and No
Arms for the Men.

CONsTANTINoPLE, September 30. .-Indi-
cations to-day point to active war prepar-
ations by the Porte. Eighty battalions of
first-class reserves are being mObilized in
the districts bordering on the Black Sea,
at points which will facilitate the trans
portation OF troops for duty in Roumelia
in the event OF the Sultans being COM
PEELED to adopt extreme measures to settle
the Roumelian difficulty. The transport
tation department is actively engaged in
furnishing means for the concentration of
troops at the most available points for the
advance on Roumelia.
A GRAND DISCOVERY.
LONDON, September 3O.-Adispatch from
Constantinople, received this afternoon,
says that considerable CONSERVATION pre-
walls in official circles over an important
discovery just made by Aribi Ashub Pasha,
the new Minister OF War. Immediately on
being installed in his position Aribi Ashub
Pasha ordered all the various department
commanders to report the strength of their
respective commands and their present
condition, and detailed several officers
to inspect the various posts. Most
OF their reports have been read and show
that under Ghozie Oslnan Pasha, late
Minister OF War, who was dismissed on
September 25th, the army was almost en-
tirely neglected, and the large sums OF
money voted for the military wero used in
other ways than those for which they were
meant. The inquiry has revealed that the
Adrianople army, which was supposed to
be $4,000 strong contains not half that
number. The soldiers have no uniforms
and are shoeless, and the cavalry is unable
to march, owing to the lack OF horses and
necessary accoutrements. Four hundred
horses and 1900 men, who have been
fully equipped, are under orders to march
at an hours notice.

RAILWAY ACTIVITY.
Many Miles of New Roads In Progress of
Construction.

CHICAGO, September 3O.-The Railway
Age in an article to appear in it's issue of
October LIST, says: A surprising awaken
ing OF activity in regard to railway building
has become evident. The year opened with
gloom and depression in business circles.
but the records OF the past nine months
show the total number OF new roads inpro-
gress and proposed in the United States to
be 626 with total milage OF II 1893 miles.
This mileage Of proposed new roads and
those already in progress OF construction
is distributed as follows
New England States. S13
Middle States.... ,33o
Southern ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 9,414
Western States 1896
Pacific States. l37
The great part OF the proposed roads
are to be short local lines, intended for the
legitimate needs of communities and are
generally wanted in connection with exist
ing roads to open regions destitute OF rail
way facilities. In the Carolinas, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, this ac-
tivity is especially noticeable and cheering.

MONTREAL,S SMALLPOX.
The Militia Called Out to Enforce the
Health Laws.

MONTREAL, September 3O.-Only two
small disturbances occurred last night-one
at the Great Nunnery and the other later
on at the Champ de Mars. The police had
received information that the mob would
assemble at the latter place, and a strong
force was on hand. Becoming unruly, the
crowd was quickly dispersed. Everything
is quiet this morning. The large force OF
militia called out has evidently had good
effect. No further serions trouble is antici-
pated. Public feeling is completely aroused
by the conduct of the rioters and the po-
lice are denounced on all sides for their
seeming want OF courage. The authorities
are resolved to carry out the health laws
vigorously and will take whatever steps
are necessary for that purpose.

IN CHINATOWN.
What Was Done For And BY the
Mongolian During the Night.

For some days the Chinese had been
placing shutters on their shanties, and
making other preparations of defense.
Early last evening the shutters were cl losed
and barricaded doors were frmy secured
and lights were rare. The Chinese section
seemed to be deserted, saving the presence
OF the policemen and deputies, who were
quite thick enough.
EFFICIENCY OF THE POLICE.
Marshal Stoner and Chief Micklejohn were
jority of their best regulars. In addition,
there was quite number of deputies. The
approaches to Chinatown were closely
guarded and no one was permitted to pass
through the streets. The result was that
crowds were avoided and those who were
drawn thither out Of curiosity soon retired,
satisfied the curiosity Of others whom they
met on the way and not even the approach
to crowd was visible in the neighborhOOd
at any time OF the night.
THE CHINAMEN
The Cinnamon were about, apparently
we'll armed and ready to defend their lives
and property, until about IL o'clock, af-
ter which hour but few were visible. The
police arrangement was excellent, and much
credit for the Judgment displayed is due
Marshal Stoner, Chief Micklejohn and those
in authority generally. There is no doubt
that the decided stand taken by the au-
thorities had much to do in preventing
vicious boys and hoodlums from taking
advantage OF the excitement and caus-
ing trouble.
The precautions taken:last night, will, we
understand, be maintained for some time.

made by J. B. Henion, NJ. D., gen
tlensn who is well known IN this city.
II that srticle DR.. Henion recounred
a wonderful experience which befeN

from the same paper second article,
giving an account of the Excitement

statement. 1t is doubtful if any two
articles were ever published which
caused greater commotiOn both anon

Since the publication of these two

letters Of inquiry, we sent communi-

additional proof couid be given to us
as to the validity Of the statements

Cdnariei free canaries and
other cage birds from the insects which
infest them, the following method Is
recommended by one who has success
fully praciiced Ii for years: Every night
Just at dusk the cage or svisry is covered
with white cloth. During the night
the parasites will crawl from of the
birds on to the cloth, where they may
be seen running about when the cloth is
removed at daybreak. The insects may
be killed by putting the cloth into boil
ing water. A repetition of the process
will soon clear away the pests without
injuripg the birds. Insect powders will
no doubt kill parasites but the birds as
well.
