DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.

A fatal accident occurred to Jake,
the two-year-old son of Hardy Cash,
at Buena Vista Monday. 1t seems
that during Sunday night Mrs. Cash,
while suffering from toothache, arose
and applied carbolic acid to the tooth
and set the bottle on the floor beside
the bed Monday morning she arose
and forget to remove the bottle. The
child got out of bed, picked up the
bottle and drank its contents. Immed-
lately the child was taken with convul-
sions, and the mother being informed
by the other children, entered the room
and found her child unconscious.
Physicians were at once summoned and
did all they could to relieve MIN, but
he died yesterday afternoon.

SUPPLIES FOR THE Y. NJ. l.

The Washington correspondent in
Saturdays Richmond Dispatch says;
General Scott Ship, superintendent
of Tie Virginia Military Institute at
Lexington, was at the Ordnance Depart
melt to-day, and the Adjutant Gener-
ais office, TO obtain the supply of rifles,
bayonets, scabbards, and cartridge
boxes for the corps of cadets, to which
the school is entitled. Unfortunately,
the officers who have charge of this de-
partment were both absent, but General
Ship was most cordially received, and
the most profuse promises were made
that his wishes would be complied with
as soon as possible. He explained to
General Corbin the difference between
the relationship OF the Institute to the
government and that of agricultural
and OTHER colleges, having military
schools, and is hopeful of obtaining
special order which will place the Vlr-
ginia Military Institute on a proper
footing. General Ship had been
writing about his supplies for the past
two months, and getting no satisfaction
determined to see the officials in per-
son. He found matters in very much
topsy-turvy condition, but there is no
doubt his visit will be productive of
good results.

The United States Canadian Commission.

The United States Canadian commission.
The joint commission appointed by
the United States and Great Britain to
consider various matters of Importance
between the L. :. and Canada, will
meet at Quebec on August 90. Among
the matters TO be considered will be
the question of seal hunting in the Be-
ing sea and Pacific ocean: more friendly
fishing regulations on both Atlantic
and Pacific coasts; establishing the
Alaska-Canadiap boundary; transpor-
tation of merchandise between two
points in one country through terri
tory OF the other: alien labor laws;
mining rights of citizens of one coun-
try in the territory of the other; recip-
rocal customs duties on the products
of the soil or industry of each country;
revision of the agreement of 1917, re-
specting naval vessels on the Great
lakes, so that, while the argument
may not be wholly abrogated, it will
be so amended as to permit lake ship
builders to compete with plants along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the
construction of small war vessels,
which need not necessarily receive
their ornaments until they reach tide
water; for completion of the marking
of the frontier line by land or water;
provisions for the conveyance of per-
sons in the lawful custody of the Off
GERS of one country through the terri
tory of the other; reciprocity in wreck
ing and salvage rights.

Large Camps breaking Up.

Most of the troops now in camp at
Chickamauga. Fcrnandina, Tampa,
Jacksonville and other southern camps
are to be moved TO other points. the
object being To break up the large
camps because their size makes them
unhealthy. One division of the First
army corps is ordered from Chiclia-
manga to Knoxville. This includes
the Second and Sixth Ohio and 3lst
Michigan. Another Chickamauga di-
vision goes to Lexington, Ky, and it is
probable that both will march 10 their
destinations. Seven regiments will be
transferred from Fernandina 10 Hunts
Vile, Ala, including the 32d Michigan.
Third and Fifth Ohio. The First Ohio
and Fifth L. ). cavalry are ordered
from Tampa TO MontaulS. l.. /. Nine
at Manassas, Va, and until recently at
Camp Alger, will be transferred to
Middletown. Pa.
Secretary Algcr is quoted as saying
that few If any volunteer troops will
be discharged for several months to
come. Not less than loo, 600 troops
will be required in Cuba, another force
will hold Porto Rico and a large num-
Der will be needed TO guard against
future contingencies in the Philippines.

Possibly China no wregrets that so
many of her young men have gradu-
ated from. American schools, The rres-
ent rebellion in that country, which
has for its object the giving of a gov
eminent modelled upon the American
plan, is headed, both in its councils and
its military operations, by graduates OF
American colleges. Twenty years ago
the Chinese government consented to a
number of scions of prominent families
being educated in this country, but
when the first batch returned the per-
mission was withdrawn, so outspoken
were the young fellows in favor of re-
publican institutions and government.
1t is these Cinnamon with American
diplomas in their hands who are at the
head and front of the present rebellion
in that country, and while they can
not succeed in overthrowing the gov
eminent Of China and establishing a
republic upon its ruins, the event shows
the hold that some experience with
free institutions takes upon the minds
of those who are for the first time
brought under their influence.

The people are fast finding out who
pays the tax. The express and tele-
graph companies make those who pa
tronize them pay it. Likewise the
bankers and brewers. In Cleveland the
local beer dealers went to court to try
and make the brewers stand it. The
brewers came out ahead, when the sa-
loonkeepers in turn resolved to make
the customers stand the tax by cutting
Town the size Of glasses, and where
beer is purchased in pals to give pint
and no more for cents. The law
surely could not have been intended to
work that way. Indeed, such work in
SPAN would be cabled as revolutionary
action. Is it more traitorous for a
Spaniard than an American to defy his
government?

CALM AFTER STORM.
Washington Quickly Settles Down {,
Pursuits of Peace.

Washington puichiy settles Down to
Pursuits of Peace.
Washington: The White House, the
war department and the navy depart
ment have resumed their usual auie-
tude. a condition VIII IN has not pre-
vailed since the Maine was blown up
in Havana harbor, February Is. The
busy. warlike attitude has entirely
disappeared and Washington has set
tied down to peace basis.
The President believes that the most
serious problem which the peace COM
mission will be called upon to deal
with is the Philippines. Before the
commission assemblies it is hoped the
affairs of Cuba and Porto Rico will be
found in such process of adjustment as
To leave little for the commission to
consider under that head. The fact
that the Philippines will present the
difficult problem has caused the admin
istration TO give it great deal of care
full attention. Several suggestions
have been made as to what shall be
done. 1t is believed, however, that
the administration and the commission
will be greatly influenced by the re-
ports which Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Merritt will make on the subject No
more troops will be sent to Gen. Mer-
rift unless he asks for them. 1t is be-
lieved at the war department that the
IL, 900 men now there are sufficient to
garrison Manila and the ground which
the United States for the present will
occupy.
The final determination as to the
government of Porto Rico and the set
Element of the government of Cuba are
problems, but the impression prevails
that these islands will become quite
rapidly Americanized, and every en-
enlargement for them to do so will be
given. Porto Rico will be under mill
tary control for the present. Cuba
will be similarly governed, but it is
probable that American reforms in the
matter of government will be such
that the people of Cuba will see the adj
vantage of becoming annexed to the
United States. There has been little
doubt about soon settling the transfer
of Porto Rico, and the reception which
the American troops have received in
that island is justification for the be-
lief. Porto Rico will be treated as an
American possession. Military post
offices will be established at once
wherever troops are stationed and at
such other points as may be demanded
by the interests of Americans and the
people of the island, if the present Off
ces are not available. A similar course
will be taken in Cuba, but this is likely
to be delayed, as the immediate re-
moval of the Spanish and the occupa-
tion by the United States is not ex-
pected

The study Of Bacteria.

Prof. z. F. Klein, speaking Of Mod
ern Methods in Bacteriology" before
the Royal Institution OF Great Britain
short time ago, alluded to the great
advances that have been made In this
science since its inauguration by Koch
In 1S81-18S2. So far has the study or
bacteria developed that It is now pos
sible not only to count, but also to-
weigh them. A postage stamp rs inch
long. sEd "a wide would carry $780,
900. 900 OF the typhoid fever baclil. and
II the layer were made tenth Of an
inch deep. there would be 1000 ,0o0, O00.-
600. II fifteen drops OF bacteria were
let fall In cup OF broth, they would
produce In twenty-four hours 10000,
900. The degree of refinement mani
tested by the bacteriologist In his re-
searches is shown by the statement OF
the same authority that it is now pos
sible to detect one part OF sewage
when contained in 100000 parts Of wa
ter.

Madrid dispatches report that steps
have been taken to courtmartial Gen.
Toral for surrendering at Santiago.
The war department is arranging
to continue supplying food to the Gu
ban insurgents and inhabitants for an
indefinite period.
The insurgents in the western part
of Cuba are winning numerous victo-
ries over the Spanish. The most i'm
portant was that of 5000 insurgents
under Gen. Gomez, who crossed the
strong trocha between Las Villas and
Camaguey after defeating 1000 Span
iards who guarded the trocha at that
point. More than 800 Saniards were
killed and the Cubans lost 100 men.
At Tres Palmas a small body of Cubans
under Gen. Diaz drove 600 Spanish
troops from the town and captured a
supply Of arms, ammunition and stores.
The navy department has issued or
ders TO discontinue enlistments.
