PARIS, November 25.-The newspapers
to-day are unanimous in the belief that tbs
fact that a msjority of the committee OF

the Tonquin credits are in favor of the
evacuation of Tonquin and Madagascar
renders the situation of affairs more criti-
cal, and they anticipate a Cabinet crisis as
the result of the committees action.

interference Proceedings In Patent
Cases.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-The Com
missioner Of Patents in a recent decision
has laid down the following important
rules for the conduct of interference pro-
ceedings in patent cases:
L. In interference proceedings where neither
applicant files a preliminary statements the senior
applicant will, under rule three, be presumed the
first inventor and priority awarded him.
2. In such cases where the invention in contro-
versy is ID disclosed in the application of the senior
applicant, priority cannot be awarded the junior
applicant even though such senior applicant ex-
pressly disclaims for the present any claim for a
patent for such disputed inventions.
3. In such interference cases priority must be
awarded such senior applicant, notwithstanding
the oath of the junior applicant discloses the fact
that he has received a British patent for his in
v~ention which antedates the time of the filing Of
| either application.

Timber.Uut,ing on mineral Lands.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-The Star
says: "Some time ago Gen. Sparks, the
Commissioners Of the General Land Office,
Issued & circular giving g system of regu-
lations governing the cutting of timber for
agricultural and domestic purposes on the
mineral lands in the West. These rules
prohibited the cutting of timber except in
the vicinity where it was to be consumed,
forbid its use for manufacturing purposes,
and provided that a settler could not pay
for its cutting, but must do it himself.
These new rules have seriously interfered
with the settlers, and in consequence
q great number of petitions and protests
have been received at the Interior Depart
ment. When Assistant Secretary jerks
looked into the matter he found that the
Commissioner had prepared these regu-
lations and had them Issued expecting
that they would receive the sanction of
the Secretary of the Interior. This has
never been given, and to- day an official

THE KINGS LAST MOMENTS.
Throughout Monday night the King had
spasmodic fits, the result of fever and de-
bility. Six doctors from Madrid and two
physicians of Ell Pardo were in constant
attendance upon him. They decided ON
Tuesday morning that the King was in a
dangerous condition. The fits continued
throughout Tuesday, and the King died st
8:45 o'clock this morning. The Pope's
benediction arrived before he expired. All
the officers of State and the Cabinet min
listers. except the Minister of Wal and the
Minister of the Interior, were present at
the moment of dissolution. The Cabinet
met Immediately, and the Queen was ap-
pointed regent. In accordance with the
law, the members of the Cabinet have ten
dered their resignation, but will remain in
office pending the regents pleasure. The
body of the King will be inferred in the
palace OF the Escurial.
TROOPS CONFINED TO THEIR BARRACKS.
Orders nave been issued that the troops
be confined to their barracks. Great
anxiety prevails here. A rigid censorship
is exercised over press kilograms.
GEOGRAPHICAL.
Alfonso was born at Madrid in 1851, and
| his mother renowned her claims to the
throne in his favor in Tune of 1870, but he
| did not become King until after Amadeus
abdicsted and the attempt to establish q
republic proved a failure. As far as his
limited capacities would permit he was
faithful monarch, and did his best within
his power for his people.

Whence comes this epidemic Of suicides
and murders. Recent discussions have
named several causes. Hon. q. II. Reeve,
of Indiana, charges IL to infidel teachings
holding that hopelessness of q future
state cripples fortitude for bearing life's
ills. Another declares suffering from the
universal business depression the cause. A
third writer attributes 1t to increasing In
sanity, q physician thinks much Of the
tendency Is Inherited, while temperance
advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free thinkers have committed suicide,
but 30 have orthodox churchmen. Finan.
cial straits have beset many, but the
wealthy have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
nigh every report OF suicide and family
murder men ions the perpetrator a. having
"for some time been subject to melan-
choly." Whence comes thisf All recog-
nized medical authorities tell rs that the
fire which consumes the brain is always
kindled by arrangements Of digestion; that
good digestion Is impossible without pure
blood, and pure blood Is never known when
the liver and kidneys are out Of order.
Under such circumstances, q preventive
should be sought, and for this Warmers
safe cure Is scvercigr fact conceded by
the best authorities In the land, and II Il

JAPAN.
The Cause Of the Financial Distress In the
Country of tue MikadO.

The Cause Of the Financial Distress In the
Country of tue Mikado.
There is undoubtedly much misery
throughout Japan at the present time.
The newspapers continually report ex-
treme cases of it, people in some prov
inces being obliged to live in caverns,
while others are dying for want of food.
With poverty. lawlessness increases,
and the jails are filled with offenders,
many of whom are more desperate than
criminal. and go there for the sake of
the prison fare. Riots occur frequently,
and the tax.gatherer is often resisted
with violence. When it is considered
how patien. and peaceable the Japa-
nese people generally are; with how
little a family of the lower class may be
supported; how deferential they habitu-
ally are toward the law. and how
wretched their condition must be when
they arm to resist it, or court prison fare
for subsistence. il must be admitted that
the existing state of things is not only
deplorable, but ominous. Since the
opening of this country to foreign inter-
course nothing like it has been wit
messed.
II is in the character of the Japanese
10 spend all they have in hand, taking
little thought for the morrow. This
trait has probably much TO do with the
pleasing Impressions they make on most
foreign observers. and we are far from
wishing them to become heavy-hearted
and penurious. Philosophers outside
of Japan have called economy "a ques-
tionable virtue" and it may no doubt
he carried too far. Still, when one
comes TO deal with economical ques-
tions. the frugal or lavish disposition OF
n people becomes an important consld-
Grafton; and, in these modern days
when capital Is power. even more than
knowledge used to be, frugality ana IN
dustry. which are the roots OF capital,
Are practically indispensable to the ma
tional welfare. For indolent and ex-
trayagant communities have no chance
in the race with those who gather and
honor wealth. But the japanese, as we
have said, made little provision In their
nrosperity for possible adversely, and
the consequence of this want o, lore

CUT FLOWERS.
Some Suggestions Relative to their Preser-
walton.


An important rule, though seldom
regarded, Is never to cram the vases
with flowers; many will last If only they
have large mass of water in the vase,
and not too many stalks to feed on the
water and pollute it. Vases that can
hold large quantity of water are much
to be preferred to the spindle-shaped
trumpets that are often used. Flat
dishes filled with wet sand are also use
full for short-stalked or heavy-headed
flowers; even partially withered blooms
will revive when placed on this cool
moist substance. Moss, though far
prettier than sand, is to be avoided, as
Il soon smells disagreeably, and always
interiors with the scent OF the flowers
placed in it for preservation.
In the case of flowers that grow only
in a cool temperature, and suffer when
they get into warm and dry air, all that
we can do is to lessen evaporation as
much as possible, and when such flow
ers have hairy stems and leaves, to sub
merge them for minute, so that by ca
pillary attraction they may continue to
keep themselves moist and cool; but
this is dangerous to table-cloths or pol
ished surfaces, unless care be taken that
the points Of the leaves do not hang
down to prevent dripping.
Another means of preventing delicate
and sweet-scented flowers from flag
pinp is to cut them with several leaves
on the stem, and, when the flower head
is placed in water, to allow only this
head to remain above the water, while
the leaves are entirely submerged; BY
this means the leaves seem to help sup
port the flower, which will then last for
three days in fairly cool room. Fro
auent cutting Of the stem is OF great
use; but with all flowers by far the best
plan Is to put them outside, exposed to
dew or rain. during the night. when
they will regain strength enough TO last
on for days. All New Holland plants,
particularly flowing acacias. are benefit
ed wonderfully by this apparent cruelH
