lish today at 1875 D. m. English had been
III with the grippe for two weeks. Sew
eral days ago rheumatism set In. and
the heart action became bad. While his
naturally strong constitution gave Eng
lish's friends strong hope for his re-
covery. his condition has throughout
been considered grave. For the past
three days he had lapses OF unconscious
ness. and since last night he has been
able only at long intervals to recognize
those about his debsIde.
The end came even sooner than was ex-
pected. During the forenoon the patient
was unconscious. but IL was possible 10

SILVER CAUSED IT.

London, Feb. 1.-Replying today to
deputation representing the agricultural
interests. the first lord of the treasury,
A. J. Balfour, informed his visitors that
the government was preparing various
measures for the relief of the agricultural
classes. Balfour also stated 1t was his
personal conclusion that agriculture suf-
fered doubly owing to the present condi-
tion of the currency, and expressed his
personal belief that the reduced prices
were largely due to tn artificial apprt-
citation of gold which followed the de-
monetization of silver. and. secondly, to
the artificial advantage given the pro-
ducer in silver using countries over pro-
ducers in gold using countries.

ELECTRICITY AS A MOTIVE POWER

There is no telling the uses to which
electricity may yet be applied as ex-
periments are constantly being made,
and the limit to its practical use appa-
rently has no end. During the past
year experts have been experimenting
with electricity in New England in or
der to determine whether or not its use
was practicable. or rather. whether the
current could be successfully conveyed
in third rail proposed to be put
in by one of the railroads of that
section. And from all accounts the ex-
pertinent was a success. In the annual
statement of the affairs of the New
York. New Haven, and Hartford Rail
road Company. recently made by Mr..
Clark, the president OF the company, he
says:
THE use of electricity as a motive
power has been extended, as fore
Swallowed in the last statement. On
the Suoth Shroe Branch of the Old
Colony system the current has been
successfully and economically con-
viewed in third rail insulated upon
wooden blocks in the centre of each
track. The results have surprised
experts, and it is now probable that
third rail will be laid at various
points upon the company's property
during the year To come. Short
branches to the centre OF business
and population may then be con-
structed from the company's lines
Mr. Clark regards this as n great
achievement, and no doubt II Is.

sMOIxELsss POWDER.

According to the Baltimore Herald
what l. known as ssrnokeless powder Is
about to be introduced into abe United
States navy. Our contemporary says
that "a formula for it's manufacture has
been worked out. and factories are now
engaged in preparing the necessary
amount of such explosive material TO
meet any emergency. This means the
substitution OF the present slow burning
powder for that OF perfect combus lion,
quick igniting power. and terrific eX-
plosioh. 1t Will not only make naval
guns moro effective but It will do away
completely with the clouds of smoke
o"erhanging the scene of combat in ma
val engagements. The squadron will de-
pend more upon speed and manoeuvring
Hhan upon shot and shell. and when 1t IS
taken into account shat the air will be
clear of all obstruction to vision, sig
nails will be plain and the movements OF
ships VIII he more precise than In former

Smokeless powder was adopted some

in time ITS use will become general by

to bring about revolution in naval
