New York, Dee. 9th.-The death is an
nounced of William II. Vanderbilt from
paralysis of the brain. His estate is eSti-
mated at two hundred millions of dollars,
and he is generally considered to have been
the richest man in the world.
President Cleveland's message at the
opening of Congress was vOluminous but
StateSmanlike. While opposing American
entanglements in the Nicaragua Canal
scheme, considering it Il work belonging to
all nations, he favOurS the proposed Tehu-
antepec Ship Railway. For the conSidera-
ton of Congress he recommends the stop
page of silver coinage, the Improvement of
the naturalization laws and the exclusion
of Mormon immigrants. He also urges
the necessity of true Civil Service re.
form, the appointment of a Joint Com
mission to enquire into the British
Fisheries Question, and proposes the
reduction of taxation on neceSSarieS,
i'll conclusion he refers to the proposed
Commercial Treaty with Spain, explaining
that the United States Government had
withdrawn from further negotiations in
consequence of Spain having demanded
vast concessions.
London alviceS state that the Marquis
of Salisbury has abandoned the Parnel-
liteS, and that he will endeavOur to form
a coalition with the moderate Liberals.
An early dissolution of Parliament is
expected as the Liberals rave a majority
of seventy two over the Tories alone.
The Paris "GaulOiS" reports that q
cholera epidemic has broken out in Brit
tany.
1t is believed that General Briere de
Lisle Will probably be put on the retired
list.
New York, Dec. 10th.-A Syndicate of
capitalists having combined to sustain the
markets of New York and London, the
crash which was expected to follow the
death of Mr.. Vanderbilt, was prevented.
NJ. ROchefOrt, the director of the Gin
transigeant", is attacking DR.. PaSteur'S
theory of incubation.
1t is announced that General Negrier
has been appointed to the command of the
forces in TOnquin, succeeding General
COurcey, who has been recalled in cOnse-
quence of imprudent interference with the
AnnamiteS.
London advices report that 332 new
lave been returned to Parliament
during the present elections, a circum-
stance unprecedented since the Reform
Bill.
The proposed coalition of Tories and
Moderate Liberals against the Parnellites,
is progressing but slowly. Mr.. Gladstone,
it is said, is anxious to return to Office, and
is prepared to formulate a scheme of sweep
Irish concessions.
Seven seats are yet untitled, of which the
Liberals expect to secur three, making a
total of 1874 against 1856 Tories and Nation
al.ists. Mr.. Parnell controls Sc votes in
Tue new House.

Our thanks are due to DR.. Kalmer for
supplying the information which we allud-
ed to in our last as desirable in order to
decide the question as to how far our
medical staff was sufficiently numerous.
From another source we learn that the
number of medical men at present in
Antigua is eight or nine, the population
being about $4,000, which would give l
physician for every 1900 inhabitants,
much the same proportion as in st. Kits
and here. Three or four of these gentlemen
reside in st. Johns, a town of about
$1,000 inhabitants, which gives about the
same proportion as in C~hristiansted, where
we have 2 resident physicians to a pOpula-
rion of about 5000. 1t seems then that we
are as we'll off in this respect as our neigh.
bOurs, and even as the NJ Other-country.
Under former conditions it would appear
that this little corner of the world was
quite a snug nest for physicians, and in so
far as this fact depended on the presence
of a number of wealthy and cultivated
families in the island the change to the
present state of things is to be regretted;
while in so far as it depended on the exis-
tence of slavery the change cannot be
regretted.
The question can scarcely be gone into
more closely without assuming the APP.
pearance of personality, which we wish to
avoid. 1t has, however, been remarked
to us that one esteemed member of the
profession, the only survivor of the nine
teen whom we nave mentioned, takes, of
late, very little practice, and that the bulk
of the work falls On the other four prac-
titioners. If this be so, it may be that
there is room for another physician, in order
20 y,oEo nm what oO0OpIinn RI ono1Oru
aDpearS 10 be the normal number for our
present population, and, as Christiansted
has the greater number Of inhabitants, it is
natural to suppose that he should be lOca-
ted here.
This then is the utmost we can come to
after starting with the truly surprising
fact that no less than nineteen physicians
were residing aud practicing in st. CrOix
little more than 40 gears ago. Weighing
the matter fairly, as we think it must be
admitted we nave done, the net result is
the conclusion that under the present con
ditiOns there is perhaps room for one more
physician to practice in Christiansted.
AS it may interest some of our readers,
whose memories stretch back to old times,
to see the names of the nineteen physicians
practicing here in I842, we append them,
as follows:
In Christiansted and surrounding coun-
try: Drs. Joseph Baron Won Breton,
S~chlegel, Jacobs, Ruan, Jacob Roebuck,

Gretchen. He was entitled to a posi-
