POSTAL DICTIONARY.
The International Roster of All the
Post Offices of the World.

Ihe international Roster of All the
Post Offices of the World.
Mr.. Brooks. superintendent of foreign
mails. has received several copies of the
Postal Dictionary. published by the Inter-
national Postal Union at Berne, Switzer-
land. 1t is an imposing looking book, about
as large as Webster's unabridged and it is
an up-to-date authority on names of post
offices. 1t contains names of all the offices
in the world, giving every office in coun-
tries which are in the postal union, and all
the important Offices in those lands not
embraced in the union. The book is printed
in French, which is the official language of
the Union, although France has but
small proportion of the offices contained in
the dictionary. 1t would not be a con-
venient book of reference in some parts of
the civilized world. for the spelling of all
countries and political divisions is put in
French. while the spelling of the various
which it is. For instance, Tombstone is in
''Territoire du Arezonie;" Las Vegas is in
''Terr;toire du Nouveau-Mexique" Our
nearby state Of West Virginia appears as
du Sud- and one "du Nord," and the gov
ernor of Caroline du Nord' and the gov
ernor of Caroline du SUD- would have
long time to spend between drinks before
they could find their respective states in
the dictionary. Our own District appears
as district de Colombie.'' Etats-Unis
d d'Amerique, is abbreviated throughout as
'E.-U. DAM"
To one who would study urban nomen-
clature the book is prize. He will find
all sorts of queer names in it from He'll
fer-Sarten to Yuba-dam, and the awful z s
from Russia. He will find that He'll is in
Norway and kiss-me in "Montanie;" Who
is in Texas and HelPs-Half-Acre in pa
kota du Nord." But Triiby and Little Bill
lie are not in it. The date of publication is
July 1, 1894.
There are 2O3, 200 names in the book from
Aa, town in Norway to Zywice in Gal
lician Austria. The Russians have 1,SOO
sneezing names that must have pulled fear
fully on the box. The Typography of the
book is excellent, but it will hardly become
great popular book, like Trilby or Ben
Hur.

"THE ENTERING WEDGE,
Gov. Budd of California on the Land
ing of the British.

Gov. Budd of California on the Land
ing of the British.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 29.-Gov. James
H. Budd. democrat. in referring to the
Nicaraguan difficulty yesterday. said: ''The
United States of America should never have
allowed the British marines to set foot on
the Nicaraguan shore. In the beginning
we should have demanded that England
submit her claims to arbitration and we
should have forced her to do so. If diplo-
matte protests were not needed there should
have been American marines in Corinto to
prevent the invasion. The Monroe doctrine
expresses the policy of the United States,
as it does the sentiment Of it's people, and
this is violation of the spirit of that doc
trine. The landing of the British troops is
the entering wedge; the next demand will
be for a territorial indemnity for some al
legged outrage. No European country can
be permitted to get into a position to con-
troll the Nicaragua canal, and it would
have saved trouble in the future If our gov
ernment had drawn the line there. The na-
ton should have been given warning that
the United States will see that it's Weaker
sister republics receive justice. and We
should stand jealousy ,on this grounl. Let
a war with the United States be the con-
sequence OF aggression on this continent
and there will be no aggress.ons."

should the latter make any attempt to
cross from Corinto to the mainland behind
it. Steps have been taken to destroy means
of communication with the interior should
such action be found necessary.
The British consulate in this city remains
under guard In view of the rioting and
stone throwing which have already occur

Some of the European consuls here are

pleading in support of their arguments
the fact that the United States has de-
termined to remain neutral and that Mica
ragua is helpless when opposed to such a
power Great Britain.
Although the Nicaraguan forces opposite
Corinto are in communication with the
capital actual telegraphic communication
with Corinto remains interrupted, and it
Is thought likely that there will be no at
tempt to repair the telegraph lines long
as the British remain in possession of
the port.
In spite of the reports to the contrary,
the people of Nicaragua generally sustain
the government in the stand which it has
taken against Great Britain, and although
in all probability Nicaragua may event
ually be compelled to pay the indemnity
demanded, it is believed that the trade of
Great Britain with Nicaragua and other
Central American republics will suffer in
consequence of the action of the British
feet at Corinto.
LONDON, April 20.-The parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, Sir Edward
Grey, in the house of commons this after
noon, in announcing the occupation of
Corinto by the British forces. added that he
must request time to answer the question
whether the government would refer the
whole question to arbitration. He added
that care would be taken that the British
trade was in no way hampered.

SACRIFICED HIS LIFE.
Devotion Shown by n Nurse to His
Patient.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 29.-A frame
dwelling, owned by Henry Snyder, in the
East End. and occupied by Samuel Weaver
and his family, burned last night. The
bodies of Weaver, Frederick Snyder, son OF
the ov ner of the building, and William
Mitchell We're found this morning.
The fire started in an adjoining house
and soon communicated to the Snyder
building. Mrs. Weaver is the mother of a
two days old baby, and she and her child
were rescued with great difficulty. A num-
ber of men ran to the rescue of Weaver,
who was i'll with typhoid fever, and carried
him part way out, when they laid him On
a cot and continued their journey. The
man who was at the head of the cot was
walking backward. The space was cramp-
ed, and the man was forced against a
table, on which glass lamp was burning.
The lamp was thrown to the floor and the
oil flashed out, setting fire to the carpet.
At this instant an outside porch, which
was burning, gave way and swung against
a door. The door fell in and mass of
burning wood followed it, some Of it fall
ing on WeaverS body and the men around
him. The cot could not be moved, and the
rescuers were forced to leave the invalid
and run for their own safety
William Mitchell, the nurse attending
Mr.. Weaver, stayed with his patient In
hopes of saving him, and thus sacrificed
his own life.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 29.-Fire
broke out early this morning in the second
floor of the building occupied by Ruby &
Adanson, wholesale confectioners, at 12l
Bread street, and. before it was gotten un-
der control damage to the extent of $4,000
was done. The, building is a five-story

completely gutted.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-, sApril 29.-Fire today
partially destroyed the plant Of the Keller
Milling Company in East st. Louis, causing
an estimated damage to machinery and
building of about 100000. The building
which is four stories in height and covers
an area 50 by $50 feet, would have been
completely destroyed but for the sprinkler
system, which flooded the structure from
roof to cellar. Most Of the damage was
caused by smoke and water, which will
soon be repaired.

ANGLo-AMER1CAN ALLIANCE.
The Suggestion is Highly Commended

The SUGGESTION 1S Highly Conn ended
in London.
LONDON, April 29.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon, commenting upon the
occupation of Corinto by the British squa-
dron under Rear Admiral Stephenson, says:
1--WE do not want to hurt Nicaragua, but
only to teach her manners. The world will
smile at President Zelaya's memorial He
bewails Nicaragua's smallness and weak
ness. We fancy that is one point in which
the world regards Nicaragua with satisfac-
ton. Imagine hornet as big and strong
as an elephant"
The ST. James Gazette this afternoon, re-
ferring to the same subject, remarks:
Great Britain has at length taken proper
measures with the insolent little Spanish
American republic. If the barbarian repub-
lection of the United States they would
behave themselves. The Monroe doctrine
has been the peg for much foolish dec
lamation. 1t is apparently understood to
mean that the United States is prepared to
protect every Spanish-American half breed
who thinks it fit to rob European. OF
course this is nonsense; but the most nom
sensical delusion upon which people are
prepared to act has practical Importance.
The Nicaraguans and VeneZuelans do not
understand that the noisy electioneering
swagger of certain papers in America will
not influence the action of the federal gov
eminent. We are now determined to stop
the intolerant inSolenCe and aggression Of
these caricatures of civilized states. We
began with Nicaragua, and it is understood
that We intend to continue with Venezue-
Ia"
Commenting upon the talk of a general
alliance between Great Britain and the
United States, the Gazette says:
I'VE would rather have it the alliance)
with the United States than any other peo
ple but a standing offensive and defensive
agreement is compromising thing. Both
sides to the agreement would act together
in a defined region for a limited number of
objects. Another matter is that the inter-
ests of Great Britain and the United States
in Central America and parts of
South America are Identical. We do not
intend to make conquests anywhere in
America, and therefore the United States
has no ground for jealousy. Both nations
desire to trade in peace and are molested
by. Spanish-American anarchy. This then
is the proper foundation for allied action.
If the United States is prepared to act with
us we are very we'll disposed to accept the
cooperation"
The Globe this afternoon, referring edi-
torially to the trouble between Great
Britain and Nicaragua, says: "The situa-
ton in Nicaragua is more suggestive of
opera bouffe than the prosaic actualities of
ordinary life. The Monroe doctrine is not
an axiom of international law, nor so far
as we are aware, binding upon anybody
save its inventor, President Monroe The
proposed canal may possibly give Mica
ragua importance in American eyes which
she does not otherwise possess; but in spite

His Cor dition Extremely Critical
Some Improvement Today,
The condition of Representative Hit of
Illinois was very precarious this morning.
He sank rapidly yesterday, and at one time
it was thought that he could not survive
the night. Early this morning he regained
consciousness and rallied slightly, but the
improvement it is thought can be only tenn
porary. Mr.. Hits illness is the result of
serious attack of grip. He is affected
with rheumatism, which, in its complica-
tions, touched his heart, and he also has
dangerous brain symptoms. This after
noon Mr.. Hit was stronger than last night,
but not very much better.

Great Britnin's Bill of Expenses.

It was stated here today that Great Bri-
tain probably would require Nicaragua to
pay not only the original cash demand, but
all the expenses Great Britain is put to in
occupying and holding Cornto. and the eX-
pense of such further steps she will
take. This will include the expense of
landing the men. their cost of maintenance
while on land and the many incidental ex-
penses of taking possession of a city. 1t is
said that the assembling of The fleet at
Corinto and the expenses while on board
ship would not be included as these are
usual and necessary without reference to
the locality OF the ships.

cAROLINA's REGISTRATION LAWS.
The Petition 10 Have Them Declared
UncOnstitutfOnaI Dismissed.

Columbia, s g, July 6.-The
supreme court this morning dis
missed the case OF Matthew {. Butler
against W. H. ElIerbe. controller general
Of the state OF South Carolina. and w T.
c. Bates. treasurer Of the state Of South
Carolina This is the case brought by
Gen Butler at the November term. 1894, of
the supreme court 10 test the constitution
ality OF the registration laws OF the state.
The case was heard on Dec. 3 last, and the
people OF the whole state have waited
patiently ever since for the decision. The
delay has caused the court 10 be severely
criticised in INSTRUMENTATION circles
Justices Pope and Gary agree IN dismiss
ing the case on the grounds Of lack or
jurisdiction. and Chief Justice Mclver dis
sents. Justice Pope wrote an opinion and
Justice Gary also filed an opinion OF some
twenty-one pages Of foolscap' which, IN
substance. merely agrees with the POSI-
lions taken by Justice Pope.
The object Of the case was to test the
constitutionality Of ---e registration law
but IL was in the form Of a petition, ask
ing that the state treasurer be perman-
emily restrained from applying funds I'm
the state treasury TO the payment OF sal
aries for the supervisors Of registration.
Chief Justice McIver holds that each
taxpayer has an interest in the matter,
and that the plaintiff has the right OF ac-
ton. That he cannot see how the plaintiff
in this case is estopped from bringing the
action simply because he has held office
while the registration laws were in force.
This disposes Of the two main objections
raised by the attorney general TO the pc
tition.
at seems to be well settled" says the
chief justice, that where the purpOrt and
effect of a registration law is to add or
take away any of the qualifications pre-
scribed by the constitution, or where its
effect is to obstruct. subyert, or even ne
cessarily impede the exercise of the right
conferred by the constitution, 1t cannot be
sustained but must be held an uncOnsti-
tutional invasion of the constitutional
right of suffrage"
The chief justice then points out the
registration laws as unreasonable in their
demands. and are in direct conflict with
the constitution. He adds THE features
of our registration law which have thus
been shown to be unconstitutional are so
intimately connected WITH and so inter-
woven with other provisions that the whole
act must be declared unconstitutional"

FLoRIDA's TOBACCO INDUSTRY,
An Increase in the Internal Revenue
Payments.

An Increase I'm the Internal Revenue
Payments.
Jacksonville. Fla, July 6.-The report
of the internal revenue department for tho
district of Florida for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1895, shows a considerable gain
over the previous years collections.
The report shows that the collections
amounted to $40. 900. while in the previous
year only $4,000 was collected, showing
an increase of $4,000. For the same pc
riod the increase in the sales of cigar
stamps amounted to $1,000.
The total number OF cigars and cigar
cites produced for the calendar years
1893 and 1894 was as follows:
Cigars 1894, 147, S02, 500; 1893, 1874, 1861 443.
Cigarettes. 1894. 1881, 1896; 1893, 1,O77, 1862.
To manufacture these cigars there was
used in 1894 5lS.O61 pounds Of stripped to-
bacco and 2,2l1. 709 pounds of unstemmed
tobacco.
The total number of factories in the dis
trict is 40; an increase of 45. A large
number of factories have moved from one
place to another in the state, but nearly
all of the factories have come here from
New York, Philadelphia and other points
The cigar business at Tampa amounts 20
nearly three-fifths of that of the entire
district. and the estimate for the coming
year is 100000 cigars for Tampa alone
The income to the government will be
about SIS, coo worth of stamps per month.
The estimated receipts for the coming
year amount to 5000 and the cost OF
collection, including salaries and rent, Is
estimated at SIS, $50. The cost of the col
lection is about one-fourth as much in
proportion, as that of any southern stale.
