LONDON. Aug. ia dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta: The president
of the currency has telegraphed the
home government what the feeling is in
India on the silver question, and to
enable immediate relief measures to
be taken. A meeting to consider the
matter will be held in Bombay Wednes-

The Afghanistan news, combined with
the silver depression, causes a decline
in government securities. 1t is rumored
that the ameer is negotiating with the
rebels and is anxious to settle with them
on any terms. owing to the increasing
complications beyond his borders. The
mysterious feature of the situation is
the Russian activity, and that Russian
intrigue is at the bottom of the HaZara

on the stage and yet not overdo her
self Nothing else llmps about Miss Mule
for her conversation and her ideas match a
running race together. She has only one
failing, but wears it so gracefully, that it
succeeds in bearing the aspect of q virtue.
She thinks newspaper writers are gifted
with enormous imaginative powers and
cursed with an infnitesimal capacity for
the recollection of facts, the result of one
such experience, which has greatly warped
her mental vision ever since of those in the
journalistic world.
Up in the Boxes Among the Flies.
Who would not envy one a private box
half way up to the flies, with Miss frankie
Raymond for companion. Miss Raymond
rooms at the theater with Miss Irmler and
when that young lady was dancing, she
found herself and the writer a fine place for a
view. The young ladies are very good friends
and say all manner of kind things about
each other, both insisting that her friend
possesses that wonderful gift in woman of
being always the same. Thanks to Miss
Raymond, Miss Irmler, who is but a
twelve-month in America, is rapidly be-
coming proficient in the English tongue.
She has another spur to her ambition in
the promise OF young man connected with
the company to marry her when she be-
comes a thorough English scholar. The
arrangement was made when Miss Irmler
was unable either to understand or speak a
word of English, so that it is doubtful if
she realizes her impending fate. Apropos
of her graceful figure, Miss Irmler's woman
admirers will be interested in knowing that
she does not wear corsets when she is
dancing, something almost impossible to
in seeing her beautifully fitting
bodice.

LONDON, Jan. 1-According to private
letter received from Peking the number of
Christians killed in the uprising in Eastern
Mongolia was 500, while the rebels have

fact no one knows definitely what has been

At Bunhua, a short distance within the
walls east of Peking the American Metho-
dists have a station and growing work. This
city, although it is long distance from the
uprising, and protected by being inside the
wall, was much excited bv the present
troubles, and there were threats of looting
the mission premises. Fearing he would be
unable to protect the missionaries, the
magistrate urged their departure to Tient-
Sill. WHICH, IueN IOOh-

The Method Proposed by an Engineer TO
Ascending the st. Lawrence.

OTTAWA, ONT, Jan. 1.-Mr H. G.
Ketchum, engineer of the Chignecto ship
railway, has submitted to the Government a
scheme by which he says vessels drawing
upward of 20 feet of water can be passed
through the present st. Lawrence canals
from Port Arthur to Quebec without deep
ening the canals or enlarging the locks,
thus obviating the expenditure of millions
of dollars of public money upon canal deep.
ening. He has outlined the plan in paper
to be read before the Society of Engineers.
Mr.. Ketchum proposes that large vessels
be placed upon steel RATS and pontoons and
thus foated through the canals and over
river shadows, the vessel to be placed upon
the pontoons by means of hydraulic lifts
established at the entrance of each canal
He says 100000 would provide pontoons
aud lifts for all the existing canals; that
these lifts could be used as craving docks;
that little time would be lost in placing the
vessels upon the floats; and that the plan
has been successful elsewhere.

TWO BULLETS IN HIS BRAIN.
Doctors Puzzled by the Case of q New
Hampshire Patient.

RINDGE, N. H., Jan. Lewis Hale,
who shot himself some weeks ago in the
head, is still alive and seemingly in the
best of health, much to the astonishment of
the doctors. Hale has two bullets in his
brain and the physicians say that this is the
first instance on record of man living with
those unnecessary additions to his mental
equipment. Hale attempted suicide by
shooting and when found he was taken to
Holyoke, Mass, to be placed under the
care of competent physicians. There is no
doubt the two bullets are in his brain.
When he was found after the shooting
there were two holes in his head, one above
each eye, both undoubtedly caused by bull
let's. Brain oozed from both wounds, and
each was probed by the doctors some dis
tance into the brain, proving that the bull
lets had gone in. Hale has occasional pains
in his head and on the back of the skull
there is protuberance which is claimed
did not exist before the shooting. Hale
says that except for the pains he feels as
we'll as ever, but the doctors have warned
him not to expose himself to the heat of
summer or to encounter any severe mental
excitement.

HILL OUT, FLOWER IN.
POLITICS CAREFULLY STUNNED AT
THE INAUGURATION.

No Pomp Of Military Display, by the Ex-
press Wish Of the New Governor-Both
the Present and Past Executives Kept
Busy Shaking Hands.
ALBANY, Jan. 1.-This is the day on
which Roswell P. Flower assumed the func-
tions of the Chief Executive, so longed
welded by David B. Hill. The streets of old
Albany were alive with residents and out
of-town sightseers as early as 9 o'clock to-
day. The inaugural ceremonies were held
in. the Assembly Chamber, which was gor-
geously decorated with American flags,
bunting and potted plants. The chamber
and the galleries were filled to overfowing
long before the inaugural party arrived.
Governor Hill came over to the Execu-
tive Chamber from the Mansion about II
o'clock. Shortly before IL o'clock the
Tenth Battalion, Burgess Corps, and the
Emmett Guards formed in front of the
Mansion, which was surrounded with peo-
pie. They escorted the new Governor to
the Capitol Mayor Manning, followed by
committee of prominent Alabauians,
acted as direct escort. Following the escort
were the civic societies, the famous Buff
faloes of this city, the Democratic Tigers,
the Queen City Democratic Legion OF Buff
falo and delegations from otEer cities.
Mr.. Flower and his honorary escort rode
in open barouches, Mayor Manning riding
with Governor Flower. The streets along
the line of march were crowded, and on
many private residences the American flag
was generously displayed. The military
display, in accordance with Mr.. Flowers
expressed wish, was simple.
The procession stopped at the State street
entrance of the Capitol, where Mr.. Flower
and the direct escort entered, being met by
his staff. They proceeded to the Executive
Chamber, where they met Governor Hill
and staff, who formally received Mr.. Flower.
The party then proceeded to the Assembly
Chamber, where they were enthusiastically
received.
The assemblage was called to order by
Mayor Manning, Bishop Doane following
with prayer. At the conclusion of the
latter Governor Hill, in a brief speech, in
which any reference to political questions
was carefully avoided, transferred the
duties of his Office to Mr.. Flower Mr..
Flower responded in brief and appropriate
speech, in which he made no promises, but
asked that he be judged by his deeds rather
than his words
Secretary of State Rice then administered
the oath of Office to Mr.. Flower and
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. The in
augural party then returned to the Execu-
tive Chamber, where a public reception
was held for over an hour, during which
both Governor Flower and Ex-Governor
Hill were kept busy shaking hands with
the immense crowd.
