Influenza Ravages In Italy.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examlner Cable. l
ROME, Jan. 7.-Cardinals Rampalla,
Mermillod, Monaco, Laurent, Serafini and
Vanduteilli are all suffering rfrom infiu-
enza, which seems to be peculiarly at
tracted to the Vatican. Although the dis
ease extends through Upper Italy, it's max
i'm intensity is Milan, where the mortality
on Saturday reached the startling figures
of LOG. On Monday, however, it fell to
eighty-fve, figure extremely high even
when taken in comparison with the NOR
tality during the epidemic of influenza
during 1890, when the daily mortality did
not exceed forty-five. Those who are suf-
fering most from the disease are people
aged, subject to bronchial troubles, or ex-
posed to the weather, such as railway EN-
ployees, soldiers, cRbmeu and the like.
This year the disease has taken a very
singular form, such as meningitis and de
IIrium. The burial OF the dead was stopped
to-day, as the epidemic has spread
among grave diggers and under
takers. Thus many were buried yesterday,
who should have been inferred on the LIST.
INST. Most OF the schools are closed, but in
spite OF the disease the aspect of the town
is in no way changed. The theatres and
cafes are as much frequented as usual and
the same animation Is seen everywhere.
The hospitals are crowded not only here
but at Genoa and Venice, in both of which
hundreds Of extra beds have been estab-
hshed. The epidemic seems to grow less
and less severe as it ranges from north to
south Of Italy. In Tuscany and the Cam
pagna it is not very severe, and in Naples
1t is almost nothing. But on the other
hand, 1t is raging with fearful malignity in
Sicily. The epidemic of influenza has be-
come serious IN Genoa within the last
fortnight but is now hourly growing
worse. The loading and unloading of the
vessels in port has been suspended, and
many schools are closed in consequence OF
the illness of pupils. The influenza pre-
walls extensively in Florence. The epi-
demic in Piedmont is very virulent. and
many deaths have occurred.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. . Special telegram
TO The HERALD. l. The St. Joseph g. Grand
Island railway is to be operated as an in
dependent line by set of general officers
located at st. Joseph. That much was de-
termined in New York at conference be-
tween Union Pacific officers and repre-
sentatives of the second mortgage bond
holders OF the Grand Island. General
Manager Clark, of the Union Pacific, and
w. z. Robinson, jr., the new general man
ager of the Grand Island, are IN Omaha to-
day closely closeted, and are arranging de-
tails OF the future conduct OF the emanci-
pated line. While there will be an indie
pendent management of the Grand Island
the Union Pacific by no means relinquishes
its control. For example, under
the terms of the new deal
j. G. Benedict was compelled tn
resign the presidency of the subject road
and Sidney Dillon was chosen to MS place.
Mr. Robinson will be required to make
duplicate reports. one to be sent to the
Union Pacific Office in Boston and the other
to the second mortgage bondhoiders All
net earnings are to be sent to the Union
Pacific at Boston. The Grand Island has a
deposit with the Central Trust company of
A'SN VI VI Sf-iOOO W pey ONSTUue inter-
est on the second mortgage bonds. 1t is
very distinctly agreed, however, that the
Grand Island is to be conducted Inc har-
mony with the Union Pacific and tue cleo
ton of Mr.. Dillon to the presidency clearly
indicates that the big corporation will con-
tinue TO boss the little one One effect
of the change will be to give
st. Joseph the headquarters for the Grand
Island and a number of other officers. Ii
is understood that S. NJ. Adsit, now general
agent of the Union Pacific at st. Joseph.
will be general passenger and freight
agent j. G. Drew, now chief clerk to
Superintendent RUSH, of the Grand Island.
is selected for the authorship. He is in
Omaha with Mr.. Robinson. Richard
Berry, now at st. Louis, is mentioned for
Mr.. Robinson's chief clerk
The Grand Island has 252 miles of main
line and nearly 30 miles of branches The
second mortgage bondholders charge that
it was being used as a feeder for the Union
Pacific, and that much of It's traffic was IN
lawfully diverted to the latter The indie
pendent management is expected to correct
this abuse, and the owners of the bonds
hope that the road will then be able to pay
the interest on its obligations

An Explanation of the Russian Famine.

Moscow, Jan. An eminent Russian
officer in an interview says: 1.-The famine
is the result of thirty years mismanage-
ment and will become chronic. The state
OF the peasantry is extremely unsatisfac
tory. They believe the Gar is in duty
bound to feed them and if he don't an up-
rising may be expected. Should the troops
be called upon to quell such an uprising,
1t is doubtful if they would fire on their
starving fathers and brothers. Possibly,
should the Polish frontier be partially de,
uuded of troops, Austria and Germany NAV
make an effort to render harmless
fer time the power which they regard as
their most dangerous foe II is not neces-
sary to speak of Poland. Everyone knows
the Polish peasantry do not respect the
Car. The party at the head of the gov
ernmental affairs is composed of Nihiiis;s
in disguise. They are Nihilists only
they have altered their methods and are
leading the country to ruin and disaster in
the most royal fashion in the world. | re-
gard the famine as blessing in disguise.
1t may rouse US and show US the pitfalls to-
ward which we are going.n

A New Roas, system.

HON. FRANK Il. SHAw.-''A satisfactory
road law would be difficult to draft, because
of the different conditions in the several sec
tions of the state. 1t seems TO me the dis
trict system would result more satisfactorily
than any know of. The nearer the govern
ing power is to the people the better the re-
suit Let there be three commissioners
elected at general elections in each district
these commissioners to have the entire
supervision of the roads in their respective
districts and power to levy road tax. appoint
road supervisors and have the same control
of the roads as the County Commissioners
now have, except the latter would collect the
tax levied by the district commissioners and
pay it out on their order. The County Com
missioners would still build and pay for all
large bridges necessary, say those costing
above 500. Under this system the whole
question of roads would be directly in the
hands of the people. They could tax them
selves as little or as mnch as they choose,
and could have good roads or bad ones. If
the commissioners elected levied too much or
too little, the people could elect others in
accord with the sentiment of the district at
the next election. When taxpayers know
that the money they pay for roads will be
spent at their homes, on the roads they daily
use, they will pay it more cheerfully, and will
probably consent to larger levy than they
now pay. They would see to ii, too, that the
money was judiciously expended. The dis
trict system, | believe, would result in i'm
proved highways"
