THE ISLAND Or MALTA.
How 1t Came Under the Protection o
England.

How 1t Came Under the Protection O
England.
English occupancy OF Malta date
from the year 1900 Two years befor
that Napoleon, on his Way to Egypt
had taken the island, and after SO
journ of a few days had left matters il
charge of Vaubois at Valetta, the cap
ital. But the Maltese soon revoltec
against French tyranny and laid siege tc
Valetta, being aided in their enterprise
by Portuguese, Neapolitan and English
allies. After a siege of two years
Naubois surrendered, whereupon the
Maltese, having lost twenty thousand
men in recovering their capital, volun-
tarily placed themselves under the pro-
lection of England, an arrangement
afterward confirmed lin 1919 by the
treaty of Paris. Since then the islands
have prospered under British rule. In
1880 the population was 15+ 1872, not in
Guiding British soldiers or their fam
lies. OF this number twenty-four thou
sand were English and other foreigners,
On account OF the gaycty of Valetta and
its attractiveness in other ways as u
winter residence the alien populat ton
has of late been rapidly increasing.
The island has n good university and
lower schools modelled after those of
England, In the schools until lately
Italian was the prevailing language,
though the population Is rather of
Arabic than of Italian stock. Lately,
however, efforts have been made to cx-
tend the use of English, and no doubt
the lapse of time will see the Maltese
pretty effectuany Anglicized.-P Prof

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-[6pecial. i
Senator Stanford's bill for the erection OF
an addition to the white house, which was
before congress at the last session, has
been again introduced and the senator has
hopes Of its getting through this time,
The new bill only differs from the old one
In saying that the addition may be built
from the plans proposed by Mrs. Harrison
or from those prepared by others, as
commission composed Of the secretaries oi
state, the treasury and war, may decide.
No one at all familiar with the present
white house denies the pressing necessity
Of the addition.
UMuch interest is expressed here as 70
who will succeed Senator Plumb, whose
sudden death last Sunday gave Washing
ton shock from which II has not yet en-
tirely recovered, and many prominent Re.
Publicans have expressed the wish that
the governor of Kansas would appoint
Mr.. ingalls, to oil the unexpired term.
Those who express this wish mean no
disparagement Of the other gentlemen
who have been mentioned In that connec-
ton. They simply recognize the great
usefulness to the party Of man OF ex-
Senator Ingalls, experience at this time,
when the majority in the senate Is such a
slim one.
Secretary Elkins, whose nomination has
been unanimously confirmed by the sen.
ate, arrived in Washington yesterday.
The announcement Of the sudden death
of Hon. ]. A. ]. Creswell, of Maryland,
who was postmaster general under the

where he had many warm personal
friends.
Senator Sherman, just before the ad-
journment Of congress TO January 8, intro
duced the bill, which was unanimously
reported from the foreign affairs commit
tee at the last session, providing for the
guarantee of $1O0,0OO,OOO Of the bonds Of
the Nicaragua Canal company.
Senator Hansbrough introduced bill
authorizing the postmaster general TO ex-
tend, when practicable, the free delivery
system to rural or farming communities
and to expend such portion Of the amount
that may hereafter be appropriated for
compensation Of postmasters and for star
