BIAIETALLIsM THE REMEDY
But, Premier Meiine Says, it Must Come
Internationally.

Paris, Dec. 9.-The agricultural bud
get was discussed in the chamber of dep
uties today. The premier, NJ. Meline, adj
mitted that the farmers were suffering
from the continual fall in prices and that
the import duties had partly lost their
efficacy, owing to the fall in value in
foreign coin and the fall in exchanges.
THE remedy, he explained, was in BIZ
metallism, but he added, the question
needed International settlement. The
government. further stated, intended to
study the effects of speculation in wheat,
and farmers insurance.
Continuing, the premier suggested that
a system of export bounties was danger
Gus and might bring reprisals. The gov
eminent. however, would sonsider the
proposition.
In conclusion, NJ. Meline said that one
OF the greatest services which could be
rendered the French husbandry would
be to relieve it from land taxation.
The Able Lenlire called the govern
ment's attention to the increase in the
exports of pork from the United States
and NJ. Meline said the imports of pork
and salt meats had decreased from H.
100000 to 100000 francs. Therefore the
premier pointed out, foreign imports had
hot caused the fall in prices, which, he
explained, was due to increased home
production

CONGRESS OF MOTHERS
VIII Convene In Washington City on Feb
ruarY l6.

New York Dec 1.-TWO receptions will
be held at the Waldorf hotel this week
in the interest of the National congress
OF Mothers, that is to convene in Wash
ington on Feb. 16, 1897.
Mrs. Adlai Stevenson, wife OF Vice
President of the United States; Mrs. VIII
linn L. Wilson, sister of the Postmaster
general, and Miss Morton, sister of the
Secretary OF Agriculture, will come over
from Washington to attend the Waldorf
reception. Some idea of the purpose Of
this movement may be had from the fol-
lowing statement made by its projec-
tors:
I'm the mind of the average man and
woman, with the recognition of a great
need there comes desire that the need
should be met. Through years of ear
nest effort on the part of comparatively
few persons, the world is beginning to
see the Importance of the Education of
Mothers to realize that all the work Of
reform, of whatever nature, will never
purify civilization, unless it begin at the
fountain head"

Marine Hospital Service Receives Reports
From Various Points In Cuba, Notin:
Cases Of These Two Dreaded Diseases
and the Mortality Occasioned, Together
with Other Features OF the Situation In

aud Spanish soldiers Said to be Sick or
Wounded-General Foreign News

Washin gton, Dee. 9-The marine hos
pitaI has received reports as follows OF
smallpox and yellow fever in Cuban sea-
ports:
Under date of November "a, the Unit
ed States consul at Cienfuegos reports
that during the week ended November
%, there were in that city twelve deaths
from yellow fever and two from email
pox.
The United States sanitary inspector
ct Havana reports 900 new cases and
eighty-seven deaths from yellow fever
and f1fty-four deaths from smallpox Dur
ing the week ended Novemoe 20. The
Inspector also says that yellow fever has
not diminished, particularly IN severity /;
that smallpox has increased considera-
bly, among civilians and that neteric and
sl1alarial fever and dysentery have aug
mented among all classes. Eighty-three
of the eighty-seven deaths from yellow
fever during the week ended November
26 were among Spanish soldiers in the
military hospitals. The inspector Gays
he is informed from what he believes
credible sources, that in the eight gov
eminent military hospitals which were
established in the city and its immedi-
ate suburbs there are over 10000 SICK and
wounded Spanish soldiers. The weather
continues tInseaonably warm, with a
temperature ranging from 3 10 81 de-
grees night and day.
The inspector at Santiago De Cuba says
yellow fever still prevails more or less
among the soldiers. Malaria, as usual,
Is claiming many victims. The scarcity
of food is being felt among the poorer
classes, and fruit and vegetables are
sometimes a luxury on the rich mans
table; many people can get no work and
paupers and beggars people the streets,
so that if the state of affairs continues
long. Santiago will become a city Of
poor, hunger-stricken inhabitants.
JAPAN AND FORMOSA.
The sanitary inspector Of the marine
hospital service at Yokohama, Japan,
under date OF November 6, calls atten-
ton to the increasing prevalence and
great mortality of smallpox in Hiogo
Ken, where the disease is confined chiefly
10 the towns of Eiogo and Kobe and
their immediats neighborhood, on which
account the United States consul at
Kobe had deemed it advisable TO treat
the port as infected. He calls attention
10 the renewed and severe outbreak of
plague in Formosa, so far confined to
the district of Taipeh,
