THE SWISS REVOLUTION.
The EmbezzIement of Public Funds Was
at tn, Rntton of II.

The Embezzlement of Pnblic Funds Was
at the Bottom of 1T.
The evidence obtained in the suit
brought by the Ticino Cantonal bank
against the government Of the canton,
arising from the embezzlement Of $780,
600 by the treasurer of the canton,
shows that the embezzlement was inti-
mately connected with the revolt that
occurred in tn ecanton last September.
1t is said that Signor Respini, the head
of the cantonal government, has In his
possession documents which COM
promise number of influential men in
political life. He will sift the charges
and will not spare the persons impli-
Gated. The insurgents obtained many
letters about the suit when they had
possession of the government officer,
but We're unable to procure other docu-
menis which were locked in the official
boxes, to which they had no keys.
France and England.
The Paris correspondent of The
Standard is convinced that there has
been renewal Of negotiations between
France and England, for the surrender
by the former country of its rights on
the Newfoundland shore. As the mat

demands concession of territory in
West Africa in addition to the pecuni-
airy indemnity which England is will.
ing to concede.
The Malta.
The murder Of Chief of Police Hem
nessey, in New Orleans has caused q
good deal of discussion in Italy, in re-
gard to the much talked-of secret So
ciety of Malta. Many people deny the
existence of such an organization, and
declare that while there are many
small cliques among Italians, and MUIR
der is frequently resorted to from their
private motives, yet there is no such
worldwide experimentation with com
mon aims as the Malta Is described
to be.
On the other hand several leading
Italian journals state that there is no
doubt that Italian secret societies
have branches in America, and that
persons who incur their enmity cannot
escape by changing their place of resi-
dence. The victims, however, are gen
orally fellow-Italians, and the killing
of an American police official has caused
great surprise.

Food Statistics.

In an address on the standard living in
The United States, read before the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement of
Science. j. Richards Dodge said:
in the use of food our people are Excess
pive aud even wastefuL According to &C
cepted statistics Great Britain consumes
an average meat ration not over two-thirds
rs large as the American; France scarcely
half as large; Germany. Austria and Italy
still less. But the laborer's dietary is i'm
proving in those countries. 1t has already
greatly iISp proved in England. The average
consumption of meat in the United States
is probably not less than It's POUNDS per
Runum. OF other civilized nations only
Great Britain exceeds 100. and many of
them scarcely average 50 pounds. The con-
sumption of the cereals, by man and beast,
Is three times as much, in proportion TO
population, as in Europe. For the past ten
years the average has been - bushels for
each unit of population, while the usual
European consumption does not vary great
ly from Is bushels per aunnm. While all
is not used as food for man, no small part
of it contributes 10 the meat supply.
The average consumption of wheat for
bread is nearly five bushels, and about
three bushels Of maize and one bushel OF
oats and rye, or approximately nine
bushels for each inhabitant. The average
European consumption of wheat is about
95 bushels. In the consumption fruits
the difference between this and other coun-
tries is marked with unusual emphasis
The consumption OF vegetables is not ex-
cessive.
