arrived here late last night, reports en-

Fiji. So fierce was the storm that the
steamer was forced TO slow down for forty
consecutive hours, and her owners assert
that not only Suva, but every settlement in
the Fijian group must have been devasted
by a gale which for ferocity surpassed even
the memorable hurricane of three years ago,
which laid the Fijian and Samoan islands
in ruins. Purser Humphrey has cpmmuni-
Gated with the imperial authorities. So firm

that Suva cannot have escaped desolation.

Itafy Will Not Accept Peace.

ROME, March 24.-The Senate to-day took
up the question Of the credit fer Africa. and
during the debate a number of speakers de-
clared that Italy could not accept peace

Begrotto said that he was confident the King
would never sign a peace that was contrary

the government. denying tnat the Negus OF
Abyssinia had demanded an indemnity OF
$l0.000000. The statement he added, was an
insult to Italy. The subversve parties in
Italy had come into prominence lately, the
Premier said, but the government was de-
termined 10 defend the monarchy. The de-
bate was thereupon adjourned.

the MlNLEY EPISODE.

The Manley episode is perhaps the
most interesting Of the episodes thus
far reported from st. Louis. M. Man
ley, or, perhaps more properly, Joe"
Manley, went to st, Louis to conduct
the Reed boom. He began operations
by discovering that there was 10 such
boom, and no chance for any. So he
announced that Mckinley would be
nominated, and that it was useless to
talk about nominating anybody else.
Since he so talked Mr., or Joe" Man
ley, has discovered that if there is no
Reed boom there are friends of Reed
who will die only in the last ditch, and
who look upon Mr., or Zoe" Marley,
as q traitor. Possibly he isn't that
When Reed heard that Manley had
given up the fight he said the story was
a lie. He couldn't believe that a great
fighting general would surrender with
out a fight What Reed said when he
discovered that the story was not a lie
hasn't been reported. But some of
Reeds friends have openly said that
Manley is either a traitor a coward or
a fool, or all three. Manley himself
doesn't now seem to know exactly what
he is. and if he does he has learned
that it may not pay him to tell

ERArERN4L INsuR1NCE.

In his report concerning fraternal so
ciety insurance Commissioner Belts
calls attention to the weak points in
such insurance. He points out that
nearly all the secret or fraternal soci-
cites have limited their basis of assess
ment to sums fixed at ages of entry,
without accommodating technical re-
serve. Their attempts to meet this
omission by increasing the number of
assessments from year to year is sure
to end in disaster. The number will
gradually increase to a period when the
injustice to the younger members and
those solicited to enter will become so
apparent as to be prohibitory. Either
the technical reserve must be substan-
TALLY obtained or the basis of assess
ment increased to attained ages.
This is plainly true. The way the
present system of fraternal insurance
must work is clearly shown by the
Hartford Times. A certain number of
persons agree that when one of the
number dies the rest shall contribute a
fixed sum. His policy is paid in this
way. At the outset there is no trouble.
If there are thousand members the
first one to die is entitled to, say 1899
There is no trouble about payment.
When 500 have died there are only 500
left to contribute, so that the family of
the insured receives only $500 In place
of $780, or the assessment is doubled.
When there are only 100 left the benefit
paid the heirs is only 500, or the assess
ment has risen to $40. But long before
this time some members have dropped
out. Assessments come rapidly after a
few years and make a heavier burden
than would be entailed by insuring in
the ordinary way.
Fraternal insurance can perhaps be
made entirely and permanently safe.
but to be made so it will have to be
based on sound and tried business prin-
cipIes.

Plenty of people imagine this on pub

of supply from one brewery; but it is
really the old name of what is called
porter" The following history Of it's
origin may be acceptable:
1T appears that, in the early days Of
last century, the lovers of malt liquors
in London were accustomed to regale
themselves upon three classes of these
beverages; they had ale, beer and two
penny. Many, who preferred more
subtle combination Of favors than
either of these liquors alone could inn
part, would ask for half-and- half-that
is, half of ale and half of beer half Of
ale and half of twopenny, or half Of
beer and half of twopenny Others
again-and these were the real con-
noisseurs of malt liquors-Would call
for pot of three threads or three
thirds-i. e., one third of ale, one third
of beer and one-third of twopenny.
The drawer would therefore have to so
to three different casks, and through
three distinct operations, before he
could draw a pint Of liquor. But the
hour had come-and the man. One
Ralph HARDWOOD, whose name is too lit
tie known to an ungrateful posterity of
beer drinking Britons some time about
the year $780, kept breWhouse on the
east side of High street, Shoredit3h.
In that year, or perhaps little earlier,
as this great man brooded over the in
convenience and waste occasioned by
the calls for the three threads which
became more and more frequent, he
conceived the idea of making liquor
which would combine in itself the sew
! eral virtues of ale, beer and twopenny.
He carried the idea into action, and
brewed a drink which he called En-
tire or Entire Butts 1t was tasted;

parent of a mighty offspring; and rom

A RIf OF HOPE.

There is one hope left for this dis
tracted country if all the other hopes
fail The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun furnishes the cheer
when President Cleveland's opinion is
formed it is among the probabilities
that he will proclaim his views for the
guidance of all Democrats who are con-
cerned about perpetuating- the party
and maintaining sound financial sys-
TEN. Hundreds of thousands of con-
scientious men cannot and will not
vote for a Democratic candidate for
President who stands on a coinage
platform, and yet they are equally OPP
posed to voting for Mckinley or any
other Republican upon high tariff
platform and perhaps an equivocal dec
laration on the money issue. These
men turn to the President now for ad-
vice, because they respect his Judgment
and have confidence in his Democracy.
The President, it is believed, will re-
spond to their urgent appeal when the
conditions warrant statement from
him. Just at present he is averse to
doing anything that will complicate the
situation or will make the remote possi-
bility of the triumph of reason at Chi
cago even more remote. But if the
worst comes to the worst and it is
made absolutely sure that the Democ-
racy will be committed to the cham
pionship of free coinage, it may be
necessary, for the purpose of preserving
the organization of the Dempcratic
party after the overwhelming defeat
which awaits silver next November, to
take some decisive action. When this
has been made clear the President may
speak.
What this country most needs now
is some speaking by President Cleve-
land. 1t is to be hoped that he will
speak, and as he has seemed to be
rather fond of speaking in time past
there is reason to believe that he will
speak at least once more.
