Retail trade in Italy, especially in Rome and
| in the northern parts Of the Kingdam, has almost
been brought to standstlll Of late for the lack
of fractional silver and much difficulty is found
by reason thereof in paying debts Of small

deavors Of tho Government, by means Of high
tariff Eaced on the expectation, TO prevent the
silver from leaving the country, it is being SNUG
glcd out Of the Kingdom in enormous quantities
II Is estimated that no less than 50,000,00O OF

apprehension, after oil. Six sailors on u vessel
arriving at Norfolk from Manila the other day
were declared to be suffering from beri-heri,
but tho quarantine officer OF that port has little
fear OF the results Tho disease, according TO
his statement, Is not conta aions: IL is not cpl
dcmic il Is not Infectious 1t is not endemic.
| Il is sometimes fatn but is not Communicative
and may be treated with IMMUNITY anywhere
The disease Is the result solely OF exposure to
n maIaral climate and Of unfavorable hygienic
conditions The hardships srfcIed on the YES

conditions, are quite enough 10 explain TIE pres

two or three years ago in city Of this State, buo

Among tho many international congresses and
conventions that have taken place during the last
three or four months in Europe one OF those most
worthy OF consideration ard interest is assuredly
| the Institute Of international Law which has re-
