Berlin, Nov. 19.-Dcnmark is begin
ming TO retaliate upon Germany for
the expulsion Of King Christians sub
jects from northern Schleswig. The
activity of the Prussian government
since these evictions began has been
unparalleled. Hundreds OF persons
men, women and children OF all ages
have been forced TO give up their
homes and fee over the frontier into

CANADIANS SEIZE NETS.
Complication Arise Over American Rights
In Lake Erie.

Sandusky, Ohio, Nov. 1.-THE Cana
dian cruiser Petrel, which is patrolling
the fishing grounds in Lake Erie wat
ers In this vicinity, has seized lot Of
gill nets belonging to American fisher
men and which 1t Is claimed were set
In Canadian waters.
The nets were located near Hen and
Chicken islands and We're all well
filled with fish. About forty nets and
all the fish We're hauled to Amherst
burg, Canada.
Some fishermen, who have arrived
here since the seizure, express the be-
lief that at least a portion of the nets
were located on the Canadian side Of
the line.
Washington, d. c.. Nov. 1.-THE An
glo-American Commission now in ses-
sion here to adjust differences between
the United States and Canada to-day
held lengthy session upon the two
subjects which are regarded as of most
Importance, the North Atlantic fisher
les and reciprocity.
The fisheries question was practically
taken up for the first time, and It was
definitely understood that the position
or the Canadian government was made
clear as favorlng granting enlarged
rights to American fishermen In Cana
dian waters of the North Atlantic, IL In
return Canadian fish are admitted free
or duty to American markets. 1t Is
expected that this will open II wide
range of discussion. and an immediate
adjustment Is not looked for.

ULTIMAIUM REA
THE DEMANDS UPON 8
She Must Surreadsr tho Philippines or
Fight Again-EAriy Decision Expected.

Paris, Nov. 2O--The American pence
commissioners yesterday We're colsely
engaged in formulating the terms of
the important communication to be
made to the Spanish commissioners to-
morrow.
In their next memorandum the Amer
lean commissioners will 20 to the vital
point. Definite notice will be given that
the United States will take over all the
| philippines, aud Spain will unques-
tionnbly learn the terms, from which
| there will be no deviation. Ii Is more
than likely that the Americans will
fatty summon Spain to effect immedi-
ate amicable adjustments.
Should she refuse to make treaty
ceding the Philippines to the United
States, the instant alternative for
America will be the conquest of that
territory at an Increased cost to Spain
In the final settlement and possibly
with loss Of Spanish life.
1t may be held that the Philippines,
II ceded now, without any terms, would
be an adequate indemnity to the Unit
ed States for their war expenses al
ready incurred and that Spain cannot
expect as legal or moral right any
monetary concessions. Philippine ac-
QUESTION by conquest, however, would
entail upon the United States waste
OF treasure far greater than a sum that
Spain may accept now rs basis of
peaceful cession.
Spain being barred of territory or
cash to indemnify the United States
fully even at this juncture, she would
be still less able to meet an additional
expense to the Americans In further
operations in the Philippines. More
over, speedy adjustment of local
Philippine conditions is demanded.
Spain could not In any circumstances
effect this. The Americans have as
sumed responsibility and they feel that
the delay here prevents them discharg
Ing 1t.
Spain must confront Philippine sur
render. May she not prefer acqules-
cence and some financial relief to pro-
tracted opposition and greater loss in
the end. If she acquiesces then peace
Will follow Immediately. If she does
not war will continue.

TREASURY STATISTICS.
Receipts From Present Tariff Law Com
pared With Others.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The discus
sion as to the revenue producing quail
ties Of the present tariff law lends es-
pecial interest to series of tables Just
issued by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tictics, showing the receipts from vari-
Gus sources by months during long
term of years.
An examination of these figures
shows that the customs receipts of the
treasury Department now amount to
one-half the ordinary expenditures of
the government, which Is about the
usual proportion allotted to that branch
or the revenue producing service.
The ordinary expenditures of the
government, aside from those of the
Postoffce Department, which is pract-
cally self-sustaining. are usually cal
culated at about 100000 a day and
averaged during the years 1894 to 1897
$3G05OO,OOO per lnnum, and at about
the same ratio In 1898, Omitting the Pa
cific railroad and extraordinary war
expenditures.
The general plnns of those charged
with the duty OF providing the reve-
nues Tor the government have contem-
plated the production of one-half of the
necessary expenditures from customs
ana the remaining half from internal
revenue and miscellaneous sources, or,
In other words, half million dollars
day from customs and half million
dollars day from internal revenue and
miscellaneous.
The daily statement of receipts and
expenditures issued by the Treasury
Department shows that November 18th
the 10th day of the present fiscal year
the customs receipts had, during these
14O days, amounted to S73,340,420. OF
this sum little more than 1900, 600
was from the duty placed upon tea by
the war revenue act, so that fully $72,-
100000 of the $73,34O,420 received in
these 40 days are the legitimate nor
mai revenues from the rates levied by
the customs law enacted In July. 1898,
or little more than the promised rate
of half million dollars day from
customs under that net.

Every one who is not of Chinese
birth is excusable for not knowing
what is going on in that mysterious
but fascinating empire. 1t is hard to
believe that even one Chinese can I'M
derstand the course of events. The
chief fact In it's recent political history
is that the former empress. who ruled
ms regent most OF the time from 1861
until 1889. has resumed the power. and
the young emperor. born in 1871 has
nbdicated, or was deprived OF his au-
thority. Perhaps, also, he has been
murdered. 1t is remarkable that in a
country where daughters are regarded
almost as a pest. and sons are the only
children desired, a woman should have
not merely held the virtual sovereign
ty for so long. but taken 1t back again
when she thought things were going
wrong.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 21.-Coloncl
Charles Smart, deputy surgeon general

to Surgeon General Sternberg compar-

war with Spain and In the ciy7i'war.
He says:
In reply TO your inquiry can very
promptly state that the sickness and
mortality during the war with Spain
was not relatively so great as that
from which our volunteer troops suf-
fered during the civil war.
"A comparison of the deaths recorded
by the medical officers of those days
with the deaths recorded by the medi-
cal officers of the present time gives
overwhelming testimony TO the effect
that any differences discovered in the
percentage of deaths from battle cas-
ualties and from disease are not due TO
the great prevalence and fatality of
disease in the recent struggle, but TO
the number of sanguinary battletields
of the civil war;
