GROWTH OF THE ARGENTINE.
Wonderful Development of Resources
but the National Debt the Most Wen

a Wonderful Development of Resources
but the National Debt the Most Wen
derful of All
A statistical summary of the growth
of the Argentine republic since 1861,
shows that in thirty years the popula-
ton has increased from 1,350,0 900 to
100000, and the number of acres in
cultivation from $4,000 to 1000, COO
In 1861 the only railroad in existence
was from Buenos Ayres to Mcrlo, dis
tance of eighteen miles. Now there are
over 1000 miles of railroad opened tc
traffic, and 5000 in course of construc-
tion. Commerce and the national wealth
have multiplied five times over within
the same period, and the public debt
has increased in much greater proper
ton. 1t was $17,00O,0OO in 1861; in 1890
it was S4O1, 900, Goo, exclusive of cedulas
and the paper currency, which would
raise it to S6l3, 900, 600.

FLOOD DISASTER.
5eventy-ITive Houses Washed
Away at Cherokee, Iowa.
A Triple Cloud-Burst Followed by Almost
n Tornado-It is Feared That
Great Loss of Life Has
Reaulted.

The terrors of the Johnstown flood
we're in part repeated in Cherokee, Ia,
Wednesday. Seventy-ive houses have
been carried out of sight in a Niagara
like torrent. How many lives have been
lost is as yet a matter of uncertainty.
terrific cloud-burst thrice repeated,
and wind almost hurricane, are what
consummated the dread work. The
storm which began Tuesday night ap-
pears to have swept in vast circle of
Northwestern Iowa, fully 100 miles in
diameter, with Cherokee as center.
Up to 1880 Wednesday night, owing to
the destruction of wires and railroads,
only the vaguest reports have reached
Cherokee from the devastated territory
to the west, north and south. The dam
age at Cherokee, taking into account
the relatively small size of the town, is
enormous. Most of the destruction in
Cherokee was wrought by the extraor-
dinary rise in the Sioux river, resulting
from the tremendous down-pour of
water from the sky. Some idea
Of the immensity and suddenness
Of the flood can be inferred from
the fact that it carried off, apparently
without an effort, the big truss bridge,
on which the Illinois Central railroad
crossed the river, and with the bridge
went 400 feet of trestle on which the
company's tracks approached the river.
Tuesday night the Little Sioux was at
the highest stage ever known. The
best information indicates that the Illi-
nois Central rails are under water con-
tinuously for many miles on the onawa
branch, and that the havoc both to
roadway and bridges is something sell
dom paralleled in railroad history.

Tho CIuol Treatment Metod Out to q

One would search in vain through

more, Sunday, by young 1rishman
named Francis Yourell, who has, he
says, Just escaped from the clutches of
an immigration agency in Brazil -Four
months ago Yourell was working as II
laborer on a farm near Dublin. At
tracted by promises posted around
the neighborhood in which he
lived, he decided to take ship for
Brazil. The snowy posters promised
free passage and free farms, ant,
Yourell and thirteen companions jump
ed at what they regarded as the oppor-
tunity of their lives, The fourteen
Irishmen started from Liverpool
March IL on the steamship Arcania.
The ship touched at two obscure French
ports, where 100 more passengers were
taken, and at Lisbon, where 400 Portu.
guese were brought on board,
making 1,3OO passengers all told.
After twenty-four days sail from
Liverpool the hrcania arrived
at an out-of-the-way seaport in
Brazil, From the time the passengers
landed on Brazilian ground they were
subjected to treatment, according to
Yourells statement, (Which no Chris
tians ever suffered before" They were
thrown into dens where Russians and
Italians were dying with yellow fever,
beaten with bludgeons and starved al
most to death, and yet some of the un'
fortunate creatures were cast into pris-
on for complaining. The promises about
free farms were found to be a sham and
n humbug, the object of the immigra'
ton agency being to get workers for
the coffee planters, who find it difficult
to get enough of hands, owing to the
prevalence of yellow fever and other
diseases. Youren and three others es'
capped from Santos, after weeks of hard
ship and deprivation, on the ship Ban
croy, bound for Santiago. From San
tiago Yourell sailed to Baltimore on
the Bancroy as fireman.

Moro Than the Great Maryland Canncr-
los Can Handle.
The great Maryland fruit canneries
are receiving more small fruits than
they can handle. The quality is also
better than for several years. Aspecial
from Westminster, leading center of
the state, says one dealer has shipped
20, 425 pounds, over ten tons, of early
red and white wax cherries, the red
variety to New York for present use
and the white wax to Baltimore pack
ers. Another shipped from Carrollton
about fifteen tons to Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. There were also
about six tons shipped from Hampstead.
One cannery at Westminster packed
about ten tons, and refused great
many bushels which they were not
able to handle. This has been the best
and most prosperous cherry season Car.
roll county has had for years. The
cherries were large, plump and well
formed, and hung nicely on the trees,
very few decaying, Notwithstanding the
wet weather The late or sour cherries
are as abundant as the early varieties,

We Are Importing Infection.

The German authorities are taking
extraordinary precautions to prevent
the spread of infectious diseases from
the Siberian Jews who are focling
through the country, and visitors for
this reason no longer are permitted to
enter the vaults of Charlottenburg,
where the eXiles are permitted to rest
and the fugitives are hurried forward
as rapidly as possible to their ports of
departure for New York.

Exn1oslons and Rain.

At Washington Thursday evening n
second experiment was made to pro-
duce rain by explosions in the air. A
balloon sent up in the northern suburbs
was exploded with great violence amid
the clouds. Whether the subsequent
downpour of rain later on in the even
ing was caused by the explosion re-
mains to be determined, and the de-
partment will try the experiment on a
larger scale to test the efficacy of this
means of breaking summer droughts.

cause it has secured control OF mott of

crop is only about one-sixth of the

THE BACILLUS OF LEpRosY

Isolated and Cultivated, and 1t Is Hoped
That q Cure of the Terrible Disease VIII
BE Arrived At.
One or two members of the leprosy
commission in Allahabad, in southwest
India, have succeeded in isolating and
cultivating the bacillus of leprosy.
They accomplished this in an
artificial medium consisting Of
bouillon and gelatine, with which
they inoculated rabbit. The ami
NAL speedily developed leprous nodules
under this treatment. This is the first
time that the bacillus of the terrible
disease has been successfully grown
outside human subjects, and it is not
improbable that the researches and eX-
periments of the commissioners will
lead to exceedingly interesting, if not
wholly practical results. ..

Popularity of the Strolling Players of
England.
The strollina players who visit our
villages and small towns are dear to
the hearts of the people. The demands
of these rustics are small, and they are
delighted with modest returns. Tinsel,
spangles and stage scenery painted at the
rate of one pence per square yard are to
them spectacular splendors, and COM
monplaces are regarded with kind of
awe if delivered in velvet coat and bus
kins and in stately Ciceronian style.
These rustic audiences have no touch
with the great world, and if knowledge of
it,past or present, shall be had by them,
it must be imported. The strolling
player in a sense becomes one of their
benefactors, teaching them the deep
records of history, and leading them
through the enchanted realms of ro-
nance. Puck, Ariel, and the Fairy
Nab convey them to the sweet lands
which they have never seen since their
childhood's days-and then only in
dreams. They cheer with Henry V. at
Agincourt, and, with grim satisfac-
ton, thank the destiny which slays
