PAUPERlSM IN ENGLAND.

Government Statistics Reveal Only Part
of the Dire and Growing Poverty.
The remarkable fact that throughout
the whole of England and Wales there
were at the end of last year "a paupers ex-
listing on government charity in every
thousand of the population is contained in
a great mass of statistics on pauperism re-
Gently issued by the poor relief department
of the British government. The exact per-
contagc was "a paupers per l 1000 of pop
ulation Thorc was "a great increase of
pauperism during the year, many thou
sands of people, owing to the general bust
ness depression, being driven to ask for re-
lief for the first time in their lives, and
the officially recorded proportion of pau
perism reached the highest point in many
years. The proportion was smallest in
1891, when it was 23.2 per 1000 of pop
ulation. This Is remarkable fact in it.
self, rs indicating the normal amount of
extreme pauperism in England, for the
record is only Of paupers applying for gov
eminent relief.
1t is a curious fact that the proportion
of paupcrs - population is smaller in Lon
don than throughout the rest of England
and Wales. But there has been a great
increase and continued growth of pauper-
ism in the metropolis in recent years which
is causing II great deal of anxiety. In the
second week of last December there were
106, $40 paupers in London, which was
equivalent to 2i.3 per 1000 of the whole
population. This was s, 026 more paupers
than were receiving relief in the city in
the corresponding week of the previous
year and Il greater number than in any
year since 1872.

was highest in the years 1867 and 1869,
when it reached AS and AS. 1 respectively
per 1000 of population. But these were
years of exceptional depression, and the
astounding figures have never been reached
in any other year since the. Inauguration
Of the present system of statistics. The
lowest point was reached in 1891, when
the proportion of paupers was ga per
| l, 200 Of population. Since that year there
has been steady growth of pauperism in
the metropolis, and at such rate and
with such cOincident circumstances as to
| be the cause of much anxiety to the au-
thorities and "a matter of great public con-
Germ.
But these figures are of the pauperism
only that comes to official notice, and the
record takes no account of the vast amount
of poverty that is relieved by private char
| ity and through other than government
sources. To go on the parish" is the last
and much dreaded resort of the honest
poor, only to be awaited of in direst ex-
tremity, and the coroners' records show
that many unfortunates have died of ac-
tual starvation rather than thus apply for
public charity. More than dozen of such
sad cases are noted on the official returns
Of inquests held in London alone during
last year. So that the startling showing
Of "a paupers in every 1000 inhabitants
Is only part of the picture of poverty in
England.-New York Sun.

With the exception of a few minor
scratches and the delay the vessel has
suffered absolutely nothing. When the
ship struck there was little excitement
at first, and even the officers were ignor-
ant of their exact position. There was
no turning-in for the saloon passengers
then. They gathered in the main saloon
and smoking apartment, and chatted
and ioked until the craft backed off into
deeper water.
Alter getting off the Bretagne backed
away from the beach a mile or SO to
give her officers a chance to make q
more thorough examination. No in
jury was found. At 1870 the vessel was
put under way again III the direction
of Sandy Hook. The fog was as thick
as ever then, and she had to feel her
way cautiously. She did not reach
Sandy Hook until 9:20 o'clock.

CHANGE IN SUGAR.
Democratic Members Of the Senate Commit
tee Complete the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 19.-The
Democratic members of the Senate COM
mittee on finance have completed their
work on the tariff bill and will sub
NIT the changes which they have made
in TIE bill as drafted by the sub
committee at meeting of the full
committee to be held this afternoon.
The principal changes which they have
made in the bill are in the sugar schedule,
and that has been modified so as to
take into account the color as we'll as
tie polarization of sugar The change
made will add ] of a cent per
pound on the color test so as to
insure to the refner this much protec-
ton. This is in accordance with the
original int ntion of the committee, but
it has been claimed that the bill as at
first reported to the full committee
would discriminate against the refiners.
1t is understood that the bill viii be
amended SO as to make positive declara-
ton for the abrogation OF the reciprocity
treaties made under the Mckinley act
This will be done simply to satisfy the
sugar men and leave no doubt as to the
intention of the bill IL this respect, and
not because the Democratic mem
bers OF the committee have any
doubt that the bill as it now stands
would accomplish this purpose. 1t is
also probable that the clause in the bill
abrogating the Hawaiian treaty will be
struck out. There has been some con-
te1tion among the Democratic members
on this score, and two or three votes
have been taken upon proposition to
strike it out, q majority at first oppos-
ing this change. The principal ar
gument which has been made for it
was based upon the ground Of expedi-
ency, and it has been urged that if it
shovsd be permitted to remain it would
be the means of introducing the Ha-
Waiian complications into the tariff dis
cussion. All have agreed that this
should be avoided, if possible, without
surrendering TOO much, and the latest
reliable statement is that this argument
has won.
These together with the restoration
OF the present law regarding the tax on
domestic cigars, will be the principal
changes made The lead ore duty and
whisky tax, rs well as the duty placed
upon coal and iron ore, will remain as
placed III the bill by the Democratic
members. There will be few changes
IN the fruit schedule, and a few minor
articles which were taken from the free
list and made dutiable will be restored
to the free list.
The bill when it next sees light will
also show several changes in the adj
miIistrative part Of the bill, and the
amendment inserted by the members
of the committee providing for the re-
peal of the entire Mckinley act will
be modified to either specify what por-
tons Of that act shall remain in force or
to repeal the parts in conflict with the
pending act

famous Pickwick Club, at the corner Of
Canal and Carondolet streets, one of the
finest and best known places in the

and flames were seen emerging from

quickly ran through the upper stories
and finally burst through the roof and
Quilted the building. The loss will be

electric motor in the kitchen. The club
house was four stories high
with cupola and much ex-
terror ornamentation. On the top
top floor there was a kitchen and large
assembly room, on the third Il restau-
raunt and private rooms, on the
second floor the parlor, library, cafe
and billiard-room, and on the bottom
floor a large restaurant and the floral
establishment of r. Maitre. The build
ing was ten years old and cost $40, 600.
1t had been deliberately furnished at a
cost Of $4,000. Loss on both building
and furniture will be heavy. Many
valuable paintings and much fine statu-
ary were saved. There was $4,000 Of
insurance on the furniture and $780, 600
on the building. Surrounding build
ings were slightly damaged. The Pick
