Curzon Makes Another Statement in the
British House of Commons.

British House of Commons.
London. May SIN the house of
ccmmos yesterday in committee of sup
ply on the foreign Office allowance Rob-
son. Liberal, moved to reduce the sal
ary of the Marquis of Salisbury, the
premier, by $500, for the purpose of
raising a debate on the eastern uues-
tion. After several Liberal members
had criticised the action of the govern
ment in the eastern crisis, the parlia-
mentary secretary for the foreign office.
George n. Curzon, warmly defended
Great Britain for her part in the con-
cert, and blamed the provocation of the
Greeks. saying that the attitude of the
Christians in Crete was due to the pres
ence of the Greek force. Curzon fur
ther said that the withdrawal of the
Turkish troops in Crete would be the
prelude to a massacre Of the Mussul-
mans compared with which the Armen-
ian massacres would sink into insig-
nificance.
Continuing. Curzon remarked that the
day the Greeks withdrew would be the
dawn of brighter prospects for Crete.
Regarding affairs in the main land of
Greece Curzon said that there were few
persons who did not know on which
side the provocation rested: but, he
added, the chastisement had been so ter
rible that he would not say any more
on the subject. The Turks, he asserted.
had exercised considerable self-restraint
before they accepted the challenge, and
the powers had carried their conciliatory
attitude towards the Greeks almost to
| the point of weakness. They now ex-
press their willingness to mediate with
Turkey if Greece would express her
willingness to accept mediation. The
motion to reduce the salary Of the
| Marquis af Salisbury was then rejected
| by a vote of 1863 to 63.

More Small Banks.
Florida Citizen.)


A bill Is now pending in Congress that
Is of special concern to this part OF the
country. 1t is intended to facilitate the
organization of national banks in smaller
nlaces and with a smaller capital thah
the present system permits. Its provis-
ions allow such banks TO be started III
places of less than 1900 inhabitants, ana
with a capital not exceeding $1,000.
The wisdom of such a change Will ap-
near obvious TO any one who will make
the most cursory investigation into the
facts. Under the existing laws the num-
her of national banks that have been or
ganized in the South is very small Inc
state of Mississippi has but ten, ana
Arkansas only nine. In the whole coun-
try the number of such banks is 2,yOl,
with a capital of $j36.725, s32; but all OF
the Southern States together have only
Sl4 with a capital of $126,SiS9j0.
The result is that many small cities
and large towns are without banking
privileges that might enjoy them II the
pending bill should be passed. Scores OF
places that could not provide the capital
required for the organization of a ma
tional bank under the existing statute
would be able to raise $4,000 for the pur-
nose. The arguments in favor OF the
changes suggested are so strong that the
bin encountered no opposition In the
House. No reason exists why the Senate
should not show a similar disposition.
The prompt enactment Of the measure
yould be a boon to the South.

ne University of Pennsylvania Is in
vestigating the condition of the negroes
in Philadelphia, and among the facts so
far gathered are the following:
1.-THE diseases which cause the largest
number of deaths among colored people
are consumption and pneumonia. The
mortality from consumption of white
and colored people in Philadelphia, com
pared as follows, in 1880: White, 26s.4
per 10000 of population; colored. 532S
The mortality of the two races from
pneumonia compares as follows: White,
$50. 81; colored, 1861 per 100000 popula-
ton. In other diseases the disparity Is
almost as great"
The mortality among the negroes at
the South has increased greatly since
the war, owing largely to the fact
that when they were slaves their health
and surroundings were looked after. and
they were required TO take care of them
selves. With rare exceptions, the sick
slave had the best of medical attention.

A writer in a New York paper says that
genuine Java and Mocha coffees are still
to be had at the large and reliable gro
lighthouses. He further states that all
coffees come from the same species OF
plant the difference in the flavor of the
bean being due to climatic influences.
The Mocha coffee, for instance, has an
dry places, where it is often necessary
to irrigate the land. This coffee is sup
posed to have originated In Abyssinia
or Ethiopia. where it has been found in
a wild state The writer adds:
Coffee was first used as a beverage in
Arabia. the berry being brought from
Africa. The Arabs soon began TO grow
coffee in their own country, and it was
called Mocha from the name Of the port
on the Red Sea where nearly all the
coffee was gathered and shipped. Then
Java commenced to grow coffee; 1t was
merely Mocha coffee transplanted to Java,
and the climatic changes gave to the
article a peculiar taste and flavor, some
what milder than the Mocha coffee. The
Island Of Sumatra adjoining Java, soon
commenced the growing OF coffee, and
coffees shipped from Sumatra and Java
were generally known as Java coffee

Indies, Central America. and Brazil, COM

AS to the number of regulars that will
take part in the inaugural parade, 1t
il definitely settled that the first grand
division will include one regiment Of in
fantry, one squadron of cavalry, four
companies of engineers, and eight foot
batteries and two light batteries of artil-
. lery. The infantry will come from
Columbus o.: four troops of cavalry
from Fort Ethan Allen. and four troops
from Fort Meyer; three companies from
Wilets Point, and one company from
West Point. and the artillery will come
from Fort McIIenry, Fort Monroe. and
New York.
Maior-General Merritt will command
the regular army contingent. The COM
mandment of the Marine Corps,
Colonel Haywood, is preparing orders to
be sent out to the eastern marine bar
racks to detail detachments of marines
for duty in Washington. Probably 300
marines will parade. Colonel j. II. Hig-
bee. in charge Of the Brooklyn Post, will
command the battalion.
Sixteen States will certainly send
battallons of militia. Three or four
other States may be represented.
The States which have signifed their
intention to have troops in the parade
are Connecticut Illinois, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts. Minnesota,
Missouri. Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio
Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia,
and Texas. also the District of Columbia.
New York will not be so largely repre-
scented as heretofore, but she will have
about 1000 troops, including the Seventy
first Regiment The 5000 members of the
State Guard of Pennsylvania will be con-
spicuous by their absence-the State being
unwilling to incur the expenses of trans
portation, &c.
