FOREIGN GOSSIP.

Queensland, in Australia, had rain
iall of 26 inches from one storm lately.
The Russian soldier is more heavily
burdened than any other. a foot sol
dier in the army of the car carries over
6S pounds.
During the last two decades over 6,000
miles of railway have been built il Mex
leo, connecting every important city
and creating a revolution in traffic and
trade.
Brugsch Bey's monument has been
set up in the Louisa cemetery in Berlin
1t is the rose-colored stone cover of a
sarcophagus 5000 years old, found at
Sallkara, in which is set bronze relief
of the Psychologists head.
Columbus, who did many good things,
carried the knowledge of cocoa to Eu-
rope, and it soon became common in
Spain. 1t was introduced to England
in 1857, and about the beginning of the
18th century chocolate, which is prep
aration from the same plant, became
fashionable there.

THE GOLF CRAZE.

Eastern society's devotion to golf is
deep-rooted. Besides the several fine
golf courses at the country clubs a
number of people have private links
on their estates.
Theodore Havemeyer is credited with
having given more golf prizes than any
other man, while there is hardly mem
Der of his family who has not walked
off with golf prize at some time.
The correct golfing gowns are made
with Norfolk jacket and anlile-length
skirt topped by Tam O'Shanter cap.
Favorite gowns are of black cloth
trimmed with blue velvet, hunters
green, blue, gray and brown.
The model clubhouse for golfers in
this country is the one at Newport.
Besides golf provision is made for
stecplechasing and polo. All the
''swells' belong to it. The site or
which the clubhouse stands is claimed
to be unequaled, even by English clubs.
English girls are winning laurels al
golf and have abandoned nearly every
other form of outdoor sport in favor OF
it. Mrs. Rider Haggard puts up good
game and usually wins in any tourna-
ment in which she takes part. Prin-
cess Beatrice is captain of the Isle Of
Wight Ladies' Golf club and sometimes
INDUCES in the sport.

ELECTRICAL FLASHES.

Roentgen ray experiments have Gre
ated so great demand for Crookes
tubes that an unusual scarcity of these
devices is the result.
Reports from several sources indicate
that u very large amount of electric
railway work will be begun with spring
weather. A large proportion of this
work is to be installed in the west.
A statistician estimates that the total
length of the telegraph lines of the
world is 904,701 miles, while the entire
extent of wire employed on the same is
2,GS2,5S3 miles, or enough to encircle the
globe at the equator rather more than
107 times.
According to Prof. Sylvanus Thomp-
son, when electric are light Kisses, the
carbon, melted from one of the rods, is
actually boiling in the little crater
formed in the end of the rod. The su-
perheated liquid, with binding flashes
of light, moves and jumps about very
much as water does on beginning to
boil.
The pictures made by the Roentgen
rays are still without generally agreed
upon name, skotograph, shadowgraph
and electrograph being among the
number used by different expert
menters. The Electrical Review sug-
gests what appears to be sensible and
appropriate name for them, namely:
''Radiograph."
Prof. Woodwork, of Michigan ag-
ricultural college, has been making ex-
periments in killing weeds by electrici-
ty, which shows that the new method
is both cheap and effective. a wheel
barrow or wagon is loaded with storage
batteries from which long wires trail
along the ground. The wagon is then
taken over the land to be cleared, and
wherever the wire touches weed it is
instantly killed clear down to the roots.

TO RESTRAIN THE TREASURY.
VIM. Graves Wants Some of the U. 8.
Bonds Allotted to Morgan s. Co.

Washington, April 14.-In the SUI
preme court of the District of Colum-
bia William Graves of New York,
through his counsel, has filed suit for
a writ of injunction to restrain Secre-
tary Carlisle from delivering to j.
Pierpont Morgan & Co. the S4,500,0 900
of the last issue of per cent. United
States bonds which were allotted to
him. Graves alleges that through the
clerical negligence of the department
the notice of the acceptance of his bid
was not properly addressed and, there
fore, did not reach him in time to per-
nit of his making the requisite gold
deposit within the time required, and
that his requests for delay on this ac-
count were improperly refused. Treas
ury officials state that their action
was strictly in accordance with the
terms upon which bids were invited,
and they do not anticipate any embar-
rassment from the action of the court

ODD AND PECULIAR.

There were 40 more divorces than
there were weddings in Fresno, Cal,
last year.
A new set of natural teeth are push
ing through the long-smooth gums of
S4-year-old Uncle Jake Lawrence, of
Uniontown, Ky.
Out of $4,000 men who tried to enter
the English army last year, $4,000 were
rejected, chiefly on account of bad
sight, bad teeth or fiat feet.
The only rocking-chair in the neigh
borhood of Marcellus, Mich, 60 years
ago, was owned by Eli Ridgly. 1t was
loaned for miles around to sick neigh
bors. The chair is still in use.

Washington, April 14.-The motion

court of the United States, and it will

HOW REED STANDS
The Maine Mans Chances To-day
for the Nomination.
FIGURES BY SENATOR ALDRICH
Delegates So Far Elected: Mckinley,
1G9; Reed, Ill; The Field,
166; Doubtful, As
Total, 49l.

Washington, April 14.-Senator AL
drich OF Rhode Island gave out state.
ment last night of Mr.. Reeds strength
as compared with that of other caudi-
dates and says: 81 think the time has
come to let the country know some
thing about the actual standing of Mr..
Reed in this canvass. His friends have
devoted themselves thus far to electng
Reed delegates rather than to making
claims which they cannot substantiate.
This table which l submit is made up
from reliable information furnished by
delegates and in some cases by chair
men of conventions. TO be sure there
are contests in several places where ii
would be unfair to PREJUDICE the action
of the convention. For instance, the
entire Mississippi delegation will be
contested, and we place them in the
doubtful column. The only "specula-
tion" in this list is in the doubtful col
umn. Newspaper rumors" do not fig
ure in it at all. There is no trouble
about getting delegates, alternates and
contestants; this is all matter of
given out by McKinley's friends on
Monday includes the unelectcd dele
gates from Ohio and Indiana. AS well
might we include the unel ected dele
gates from Maine and other states
which are for Reed, but this would
stamp such an estimate as fraudulent.
Tho Estimate.
The following is Mr.. Aldrich's esti-
mate; Alabama: Reed, 3; Mckinley, ..

Oklahoma: Reed, G; Mckinley, 0. Dis
trict of Columbia: Reed, /; Mckinley,
o. Total-Reed, Ill; Mckinley, 1869.
Summary of the Estimate.
"There have 165 delegates elected, '
he says, "who are divided between: Nor
ton, Allison, Quay, Cnllom and Brad
ley, and As VINO are properly classed
as doubtful. The summary, therefore,
is as followe: Reed, Ill; Mckinley, 169;
tae field, lG6; poubtful, AS. Total, 494
We make no note of the four delegates
recently elected in South Carolina, be
cause the legality of that convention
is questioned; in any event, they would
belong in the doubtful column"

IDemocratic Claims In Illinois.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3. AT 9 80 the chair
man of the Democratic committee had
received no reports from the county
chairmen. Press reports Indicated q
majority of 80 900 for Mckinley in Cook
county. and this was generally conceded
by the committee.
No reports on which even an estimate
of the state, outside. of Cook could be
made had been received, but the COM
mIttee still claims 81, 900 for Bryan. The
vote by precincts runs 10 per cent below
the registration. This bears out the re-
port that the returns SO far received are
only on straight Democratic and Repub-
Iican tickets, emitting the Peoples
Party, which the committee counts on
for 25, 900 votes.
Altgeld. in sixty precincts, has run
5000 ahead of Bryan, and on this basis
