marck should not reach the age of
ninety years. The reports were doomed
to be u repetition of the alarm that
Prince Bismarck was in eXtremis,
which had been often repeated in the
past. 1t appears that the EXCHANGED
lor's death was not precipitated by
sudden complications, but was rather
the elimination of chronic disease -
neuralgia of the face and Inflammation
of the veins-which kept him in con-
slant pain that was borne with the
iron fortitude which might have been
expected.
Unexpected by German Papers.
London, Aug. IA special to the AS
ISOLATED Press says that the news of
Prince Bismarck's death reached Ber-
lin at late hour Saturday, and was
only generally known Sunday morning.
A number of papers, among them the
Post, Vorwerts and Deutsche Zeitung,
did not contain the news of the death.
The KreuZ Zeitung only had q brief
notice. The Tagsblatt issued Bis

The Lokal Angler prints the fullest
details from its special correspondent

to obtain news of his death. a ma

The Rival Hopper.

Beneath tree with spreading bouyhs,
On margin Of pool.
A bloated frog croaked merrily.
Famed by the breezes cool.
His vis-a-vis = grasshopper
Upon the other shore.
whose famous leaps are chronicled
In books Of childish lore.
Now both were hoppers Of renown:
The one that was so thin
Sent swift challenge to the frog
To jump-and see who'd win.
A twinkle shone in frosgle's eye,
He answered with wink;
Then both shot upward in the air,
And then-what do you think?
Why, froggie settled down again
Beneath toadstool gray,
Ready for other bits as sweet
That CHANGED along his way.
For crafty was the heart that beat
Beneath that notified coat;
He timed his leap so grasshopper
Jumped right down froggie's throat.

THE PROTOCOLS TERMS.
Synopsis of the Document that Puts al
End to the Coufiict with Spain - Tive
Commissioners Provided for.

Commissioners Provided for.
Washington. Aug. 1.-THE protocol
signed Friday by Secretary Day and
NJ. Cambon provides:
1.-That Spain will relinquish all
claim of sovereignty over the title to
Cuba.
2.-That Porto Rico and other Span
ish islands in the West Indies and an
island in the Ladrones, to be selected
by the United States, snail be ceded
to the latter.
3.-That the United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and har-
Dor of Manila. pending the conclusion
of treaty of peace which shall de-
termine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines.
4.-That Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish islands in the West Indies
shall be Immediately evacuated. and
that commissioners to be appointed
within ten days shall, within 80 days
from the signing of the protocol, meet
at Havana and San Juan, respectively,
to arrange and execute the details of
the evacuation.
5.-That the United States and
Spain will each appoint not more than
five commissioners to negotiate and
conclude treaty of peace. The com
missioners are to meet at Paris not
later than October 1st.
6.-On the signing of the protocol,
hostilities will he suspended and no.
tice to that effect will be given as
soon as possible by each government
to the commanders of its military and
naval forces.
The above is the official statement
of the protocols contents as prepared
and given to the press by Secretary
Day.
While the document is properly
enough described as a protocol, it is
still something more than that. 1t is
an agreement midway between that
and the armistice which usually inter
yenes between active war and final
peace. SO far as it goes this protocol
is absolutely peace treaty. Thus,
having provided for the disposition of
Cuba, Porto Rico and one OF the La
drone islands there is nothing more
for a peace commission to do in rela
ton to these subjects; their fate is
sealed and the protocol in that respect
is as binding as any definite treaty of
peace. 1t was such protocol as this
that was signed by President Thiers
and Prince Bismarck to terminate the
Franco Prussian war.
The protocol provides for two com
missions. First the peace commission
which will meet in Paris, and second,
military commission, which will
meet in Havana probably within Is
days. The military commissions du-
ties will be of great Importance. 1t
will settle the details of the evacua-
ton of the Spanish armies from the
West Indies and will decide all ques-
tons relative to the United States of
the fortresses at Havana, San Juan
and other points and the transfer of
possession of Manila City itself.

ETThus far since the new revenue
laws have been in operation the total
receipts have averaged about $875,0oo
a day, whereas the receipts under the
Dingley law we're but $462,s day.
Very likely these receipts will be in
creased later ON, when various special
taxes not yet collected have been paid,
and it is safe 10 sssume that the new
law will easily raise the $175, 200, 900 per
annum predicted by its trainers. The
war has been costing at the rate of
$2,000,00 day, so that even if it ends
within short time the war taxes will
remain as a legacy for a considerable
period.-Troy Times.

PEOPLE having friends or relatives
in the armies now stationed in Cuba
and Porto Rico seem to be much puZ-
zled as to how letters to them should
be stamped. For the benefit of those
interested the post office depar tment
has issued a circular stating that let
ters addressed to soldiers or sailors in
ba, Porto Rico or the Philippines
only require the domestic rates of pos
tage. Mail matter addressed to others
than government employees must pay
the regular rate as fixed by the inter-
national postal union.
