phere OF blood stains, foot prints, window shut
tiers, hair, corpuscles and other "reminiscences
OF the famous trial in the neighborhood Of Mr..

was perhaps more excuse for the objection with
which the leading counsel for the defense met

in nine cases out OF ten in which Mr.. Forrest
has lately urged the plea in Judge McConnelis
court room. Bending over huge piles Of testi-
mony, Mr.. Forrest. Judge Wing and MIR. Dom

task outlined by MIR. Forrest in his

Jubuant French Republicans.

PARIS, Sept. 24.-French republi-
can journals are jubilant over the re-
suit of Sundays elections for mem
bers of the chamber of deputies and
say that the second ballots will only
add to the success of republicans s.
They regret the defeat of Jules
Ferry and express the hope that
his absence from the chamber will
be only temporary. The Republique
Franchise says, the country has elected
a government majority, has shown it
is tired of the former divisions and
desires that chamber should attend to
national interests to the exclusion
of problems causing dissensions. The
journal DIES Debates has no great con-
ridence in the wisdom of the new ma
jority. Monarchy and Boulangist
journals express disappointment at
the result of the elections, and say
they hope the second ballots will
strengthen the position of the opposi-

Our Population,

The United States of America.
which separated from England in
1875, and elected their first president
in 1889, now consist of ~ States, 6 Ter
ritories, and I Federal District. The
total area of the Union, including
Alaska, is about 3,605,0O0 square
miles. AS for the population, that,
during the century, has made truly
fabulous progress.
While Great Britain's population
has, in fifty years, increased by 10
millions, Frances by millions, Ger
many's by IL millions, the population
of the United States has increased 81
millions. 1t has been calculated that,
since 1880, the population of North
America has been doubling about
every 26 years. At present, the popu-
latiOn of the American Union must
certainly exceed 60 million inhat-
itants. Now, in 1890 the population
did not reach millions. In one GEN.
fury, then, the population has varied
in the proportion of l to 1915.
If this ascending advance continues,
and there is every evidence that it
will, the United States in 50 years
will count more than 200 million in
habitants, and in 20 years will be as
pOpulOus as Europe.

ton special to the Herald says: "The

great many interesting extracts from

alarm over the effect upon European
trade of the coming conference of
American nations. Some OF them
are almost hys.erical in their
appeals to South American re-
publics to distrust our advances
and continue to trade in Europe, and
Europe is waking up to the possible
results of the congress in earnest. LIE
Temps, of Paris, has been publishing
series of articles expressing the
gravesG fears of the consequences of
the congress. 1t declares it is in
tended to form a Zollverein among
all American states, which while fos-
tering commerce among themselves,
will practically exclude that of
Europe. The paper urges the English
and French merchants to make every
effort to prevent realization of this re-
suit and to induce the Hispanio-Am-
orleans to adhere to their ancient
systems. Heretofore they have been
under the domination commercially.
and somewhat politically, of Spain,
and the rest of Europe. They are
just escaping from this. La EpOca, of
Madrid, also has been publishing Wig
orous comments ON the congress.

Treatment of Pneumonia by ApplI-
cation of Ice.

DR.. Fieandt, writing in Duodecim, a
Finnish medical journal, states that
he has now treated no less than JOG
cases of pneumonia with ice, and with
the best results. Though ten of the
cases were of double pneumonia, only
three out of the whole number sue
cumbed, Notwithstanding that the
epidemic was by no means a slight
one. The method adopted was to ap-
ply over the affected lung an India
rubber bag containing ice, continuous
ly for from twelve to twenty-four
hours after the crisis. In addition to
the local treatment the patients were
given such medicines as were usually
employed, that is to say, opium, ipe-
cacuana, digitalis, brandy, etc. The
method has, we may remark, received
of late some attention in this country.
