power; therefore the emperor caused
the latter to take in his presence an oath
of fidelity and obedience to the heir of
the throne, and when Nicholas saw his
end was approaching he called the two
princes to his bedside and, before Civ
ing his blessing. made Constantine, in
the presence of his mother. renew the
oath of fidelity to his elder brother. A
few hours after the emperor's death
Constantine took the oath of allegiance,
adding that the latter might rely upon
him in every circumstance.

rection in 1862 Grand Duke Constantine
was appointed Viceroy OF that princi-
pality; but he resigned the post in a
few months. In January, 1865, the late

ary, 1873. he was reappointed president
of the council of state. At the time

LONDON, Jan. 25.-A prominent med.
ical journal declares that influenza is
beyond doubt infectious, even in its first
stage. The period of incubation of the
disease germ in influenza is only 4
third of that of the germ of smallpox,
measles or typhoid fever. The writer
epjoins the isolation, so far as practical
BILE, of sufferers, and the disinfection
of rooms and furniture exposed to the
infection. Great stress is laid upon the
need of warm wooden clothing, whole
some and easily v-assimilated food, avoid
ance of exposure, abstinence from al
coholic drinks and care for the system.
The doctors advice is To never attempt
to fight the disease, but to give up and
go to nursing it away.

Interesting Figures from ths Annual Re-

the Decreased iseccipts at Kansas City

The reports of Chief Inspector Joseph
II. O'Shea and Registrar Daniel orc.
Tracy of the state grain inspection de.
partment for the year ended December
81, 1891, have been filed with the board
of railroad and warehouse commission
ers But forty-seven appeals were
taken during the year from the decisions
of the department to the arbitration
committee. The inspection was sus-
tanned in thirtyfour cases and the grade
raised or lowered in but thirteen. Roth
of the officers making these reports
take occasion to deplore the fact that
the law as it now stands does not pro-
vide for weighing of grain by the state
authorities. The law now guarantees
to the shipper correct and just grad
ing of his grain, but does not offer him
any protection against shortage in
weights. From the tabulated state
Inents filed as exhibits the following
