Gratifying Results Shown Since the
Date OF It's Foundation.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE first report
of the Bellevue Hospital Training-school
for male nurses, founded by D. o. Mills,
shows gratifying results since the date of
the schools foundation, on December II,
1888. Its sphere of usefulness is con-
stantly extending, and many people are
indebted to the benevolence of the
founder. Great care is taken to admit
only applicants of good moral chaaacter,
and they must be physically and men
tally sound, and show fitness to become
nurses.
Since the founding of the school, until
January l, 1891, there have been 502 APP
plications for admission, q fact that em-
phasizes the public appreciation of the
Importance of the undertaking. Of this
number los were admitted on probation
and eighty-nine were finally accepted as
nurses. Nineteen Of this number pre-
sented themselves a few weeks ago for
graduation, and all but one were success
full in establishing their rights to di-
plomas.
A course of lectures are given to pupils
during the year in surgery, practice,
physiology and materia medica. The
lectures are paid for by Ogden Mills.

The Indians WIN Not Enlist.

ST. LOUIS, April 12.-Colonel Wade, of
the Fifth United States Cavalry, at Fort
Reno, says in his report to General Mer-
ritt, in regard to the enlistment of In
dians in the regular army, that strong
efforts were made to induce the Indians
TO enlist, but they were of no avail.
General Merritt thinks an attempt on the
part of the Government to enlist Indians
as regular soldiers will prove a failure.
They Will serve as scouts without heSita-
ton, but have a positive aversion to en-
listing as infantrymen or cavalrymen.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 12.-The Car
has renamed most of the regiments of the
Russian army after commanders and
generals notable since the time of Peter
the Great, and the reserve battalions after
important victories gained by the Russian
army. Ten of these battallons being
raised to full regiments. 10000 men are
thus added to the reserves. With the re-
cent decree for the construction of mill
tary roads and large increase in the

the Labor Leaders Sparfng No Efforts

SCoTTDALE (Pa.), April 12.-The coke
region is alive with strikers mass meet
ings to-day. The labor leaders are spar
ing no efforts to solidify their ranks and
strengthen up the wavering points. They
were out in full force, and have stationed
their pickets in hope of checkmating the
reported general movement of operators
for resumption, which is to be in
augurated tomorrow.
With this end in view the companies
had already had the fires rekindled in the
engine boilers at number of plants,
where idleness reigned for nine long
weeks.
The foreign elements are holding meet
ings at a number of places this evening,
but no outbreaks are feared, though it is
a well-known fact that they were cele-
brating the withdrawal of the Eighteenth
Regiment.
The labor leaders assert that money is
all that is needed now to prolong the
strike, as the only conditions that will
cause return to work on the part of the
men are starvation and sickness.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IA Chronicle
Seattle special says: The mistake which
cost the British Government piece of
territory about as large as the State of
Rhode Island has just come to light. En-
sign Edward Moall. Jr., of the the United

Coast and Geodetic survey, is authority
for the statement that the iron monu-
ments at Blaine, Washington, and for
many miles east of there are three hun
dred and sixty yards north of the 49th
parallel, which should be the proper
boundary. He says the mistake was dis
covered three years ago while he was on
the Coast Survey steamer, and has never
been officially reported at Washington.
He says the mistake was probably made
in 1852 by surveyors in northern Mon
tana. 1t was trifling at first, but kept
widening out until it covers $50 yards at

sweep of his infatuated tail. the alligator
would cut completely in half a rail in the

of the crowd very thoughtfully punched
out the eyes of the monster. and after that
he was soon conquered. The alligator. they
