RUSsIA's RODENT PLAGUE.
Remarka bic Invasion of an Army O
Rats and Nice.

Rats a nd Mice.
Mice and rats have caused great de-
struction in certain localities in Southern
Russia during the past two years, and the
remark able invasion of the rodent army
in the subject of report Just received at
the State Department from Thomas E.
Hcenan, United States consul at Odessa
The first appearance of mice in great
numbers was in the autumn of 1893, and
their rapid increase is attributed to con-
seCutive good harvests, in consequence of
which much grain remained in sacks
unthrashed, and to the mildness OF the
weather.
There were three varieties of mice OBJ
served, the common house mouse, the COM
mon field mouse, and another kind never
previously noticed, having a long sharp
nose. They swarmed in houses and grana-
ries and In some places moved in great
numbers like an army.
Instances are cited by Mr.. Heenan where
they attacked animals and men. The rats
were not so Numerous as the mice, but
caused great destruction, even running
buildings.
Every effort was made to stop the
plague by the people living in the in
tested districts and finally government
aid was secured. The Department Of
Agriculture In June, 1894, sent DR.. Merez-
hkovski to one of the mice-ridden provinces
to carry out experiments of exterminating
the mice by means Of the cultivation of
the bacillus discovered by him.
The results were excellent. Epidemic
disease was generated among the rodents
and now the plague has ended. Similar ex-
perimeDts made by Drs. Loeffler and La
Zare did not give such good results.

She II nd Princess Beatrice ProStra
by Prince Henry's Death.

London, Jan. 23.-Dispatches received
from Osborne say that the queen passed
a very bad night. She was restless through
out, and is irdisposed this morning.
Her ma iestys grief at the death of Prince
Henry OF Battcnberg is almost as profound
as that of her widowed daughter, Princess
Beatrice.
The queen, despite her grief and Con-
sequent nervous condition, busted herself
with the consideration of state papers
throughout the forenoon.
Sir James Reed. physician in ordinary 10
her majesty, issued a bulletin this morn
ing saying that the queen and Princess
Beatrice, though in excellent health. are
overwhelmed with grief at this sudden
and unexpected bereavement in the death
of Prince Henry of Battenberg.
The admiralty received dispatches from
Sierra Leone this morning stating that the
British cruiser Blonde, with the body of
Prince Henry on board, sailed from that
port at midnight last night for England.
A number of American residents and So
iourners in London. who wired messages of
sympathy to the queen at Osborne, have re-
ceived the following reply:
1.-THE queen desires to sincerely thank you
and your fellow-countrymen for the kind ex
pressions of sympathy, which her majesty
has received from you and them, which are
much appreciated"

English Athletes Not Over-AnxtOus
to Meet Americans.
London, Jan. 23.-Mr. Ashley Cooper, the
organizer of tie Pan-Brita nnic athletic
movement, was recently requested by
the American University Athletic Asso-
ciatoin to make overtures to the British
Associations looking TO the arrangement Of
an international contest in 1886.
After making inquiries, Mr.. Cooper re-
plies that there does not appear to be a
very strong disposition on the part of
British amateur athletes to hasten any
future contests with American amateurs,
this feeling being due to the charges made
by Lord Dunraven against the Defender
and dissatisfaction at the laxity of the
amateur status OF university athletes in
America.
Mir. Cooper personally, however, urges
the holding OF Il conference between author
lied representatives of the university ath-
letes of the two countries.

amounts of American securities.
These would either be thrown back
upon our hands, or guarantee that
they be paid, interest and principal,
in gold, would be eXacted. All eX-
changes in our international COM
merce would be paid in gold, and we
should be at the disadvantage of do
ing business at home on a silver
basis and abroad on gold one.
Finally, under free silver coinage
the purchasing power of our dollars
would be immensely lower than at
present. In addition to the business
and industrial depression, depriving
labor of employment, those who
found work would have to accept
pay in a degraded currency, and
their earnings would be far less able
to furnish them with the necessities
and comforts of life. LabOring men
OF all others are most directly in
terested in maintaining the integ-
rity of the currency, and they would
be the greatest sufferers proportion
ately by the change from the gold to
the silver basis.
The effect would be to Mexicanize
our finances, generate disastrous
fluctuations, as in Austria Hungary
and Italy until within the past few
years a policy of redemption was
adopted upon a gold basis, and so
insured financial steadiness and a
larger measure of real prosperity
than had been known in those coun-
tries within the period of more than
a half-century. Then, too, the fact
of the calamitous experience this
country has endured the past few
years under the Free Trade expert
ment and the consequent paralysis of
our industries, ought to prove an
effective admonition against vision
airy Currency Tinkering and striking
down Protection. 1t is true that
business disturbance and industrial
depression came to gold countries
as we'll as to others. But where there
is a sound and stable basis for the
currency, the conditions are more
favorable to quick recovery, and the
hard times are not so likely to con-
tinue.
These are some of the consider
ations involved in the proposition to
adopt free and unlimited silver coin
age at the ratio of 16 to l. They
should be conclusive as to the folly
and incalculable loss that would
follow such a step, and as to the wis
dom OF the Republican policy which
favors the maintenance of the gold
standard, with Protection to Amer
lean industry, thus guaranteeing the
sQundest financial and economic con-
ditions.
