HOW LONDON GROWS.

Some striking figures which have
Just been published seem to indicate
that the wonderful growth of the vast
province OF houses that we call Lon
don is going on as vigorously as ever.
A return Just published states that the
number Of the houses built inLondon in
the twelve months ending August last
was no less than 1851 This is, Of
course, in the Greater LCndOn Of the
registrar general. The London Of the
school board contained in 1891 the vast
aggregate Of $50 ,134 inhabited houses,
which was more than one-tenth of all
the dwellings in England and Wales;
Birmingham had 1924; Liverpool.
91,4Sf, and Manchester, 100,249. But in
the Greater London of the registrar
generals weekly return the number of
inhabited houses was 767,967, or near
ly One-siXth of the houses in England
and Wales. The largest aggregate of
inhabited dwellings next to that in the
Thames valley is that on the Irwell
where the twin towns Of Manchester
and Stafford had between them 12g.412
inhabited houses. But London at the
present rate of growth, is adding more
to its streets and squares in ten years
than the whole of Manchester and Sal
ford put together. Yet even the present
gigantic growth is not quite equal to
that which took place in each Of the ten
years ending with the last census. It
is exceedingly difficult to realize what
the increase represents. All around
the metropolitan area the builders
are incessantly at work. and by
whatever route one leaves it, whether
by road, rail, or river, everywhere the
long lines Of new streets encroach up
on the meadows, and there is a new
| town in the making. There really is
a new town, for each year London
adds an Ipswich, a Northampton, a
Southampton Reading to ITS already
! gigantic size. Neither of these towns.
large, active, enterprising as they are,
| contained in 1891 so many houses as
are added to London every year. They
are all growing with great rapidity,
and probably each of them now con-
tains nearly as many houses as London
adds to itself yearly. II is impossible
not to look forward with interest, not
unmingled with anxiety, as to the fu-
ture growth Of this vast centre OF the
British Empire.-LOndon Daily News.

NOT real BARoNs. TRAMPs-

A misleading statement has been
sent out from Philadelphia regarding
the alleged formation Of new order or
society called "The Noble Order Of the
Barons of the Runnymede." Accord
ing TO the published accounts this So
ciety is to be composed Of the descend
ants of British noblemen of the days Of
King John. There must be some mis-
take about the Philadelphia story, as it
would be almost prepOsterous to con-
ceive Of the idea of a society organized
on such a footing. It's membership
would probably include almost every
person who is OF English descent, as
from intermarriage during the inter-
vening decades chance would probably
give to almost every Englishman to-
day the right to join such an order.
The dispatch probably refers TO the
organization of the order in which each
member has a right to call himself
Barren OfRum inNeed Themembers
Of this order all belong to that class
of men who are vulgarly called tramps.
In almost every particular they have a
far better right to compare themselves
with the old barOns Of the age Of Run
nymede than an ordinary self-respect-
ing citizen could have. The closer the
subject is examined the more plainly
the similarity will be recognized.
The modern tramp, like the baron of
feudal times, has two chief character
istics, a distaste for all honest employ
ments and a constant thirst for some
variety Of intoxicants. Both the modern
tramp and the medieval baron prefer
to earn living by theft rather than by

as the moderr. trapaps- had q fashion ~

their cupidity and unbridled greed

indeed, however, If self-respecting and

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of their class. but who
refused the great body of English peo-
pie any such privileges as they claimed
for hemselves.-BOston Advertiser.

CALLINCER CHEERED
Senator Speaks For Cuba to
Sympathetic Audience.
SAYS MONEY WON'T ATONE THE MAINE
The Bill Providing For Relief For the
Survivors of the Great Disaster
Passes the Senate without
a Word of Debate.

WASHINGTON, March PA vivid
word picture of the horrors and bar
barities of concentration on the island
Of Cuba was drawn in the senate yes
terday by Mr.. Gallinger Of New Hamp-
shire. The senator recently visited
Cuba personally to study the situation
of the reconcentrados and to ascertain
the facts concerning the general Cuban
question. 1t was known that Mr.. Gal
inger was to speak upon Cuba, and
long before the senate convened the
galleries were packed. Notwithstand-
ing the crowded galleries there was
minimum of noise and confusion. When
the spectators addressed one another
they spoke in whispers, and during the
opening proceedings it was so quiet that
ordinary conversation might have been
heard throughout the chamber.
Almost as soon as the senate con-
vened Mr.. Bacon (Ga) introduced
joint resolution declaring that the
United States should do everything in
its power to preserve peace with all the
nations of the world and not be forced
into a war except to preserve the honor
and dignity Of the nation. He said that
he would not ask for immediate consid-
Grafton Of the resolution. but would
permit It to lie upon the table.
Then Mr.. Hale (Me.), chairman of the
naval affairs committee, quietly arose
and favorably reported the bill provid-
ing for relief for the survivors Of the
Maine catastrophe. There was sup
pressed murmur Of expectancy in the
galleries, but the measure was read
and passed without a word of debate.
Mr.. 0allinger's speech followed. He
spoke in a low, clear tone Of voice. dis
tinctly audible throughout the cham
her. There was not a word OF interrupt
'tlon throughout his speech. His audi
tors listened intently TO pathetic de-
scription of the horrors and cruelties
suffered by the reconcentrados, but
gave no outward manifestation OF their
feelings.
When he declared. however, that a
government that would starve ,OO0
of its people would do anything and fol-
lowed this with the further declaration
that the lives of the brave men lost In
the Maine disaster could not be atoned
for with gold or silver, a spontaneous
wave Of applause swept over the gal
leries, and the vice president had diff
Guilty I'm restoring order When he
concluded he was accorded q -tremen-
dous burst of applause, which the vice
president made little effort to restrain.
The senate then quietly resumed con-
sideration of the bill making further
provision for a civil government IN
Alaska and at o'clock took up the
national quarantine bill. It's considera-
tion had not been concluded when the
senate adjourned.

Lord salisburv's retirement.

LONDON, March "a. - The Daily
Chronicle says: I'VE learn that the long
cabinet council on Monday was to con-
slider an intimation from the Marquis Of
Salisbury OF his desire, acting under
medical advice, to resign both the pre-
miership and the foreign secretaryship.
Our news is obtained from a source
usually trustworthy, but the crisis may
take a few weeks to develop, the queen
being abroad. Lord Salisbury's success
sors are almost certain to be the Duke

The Cow Question.

A serious and expensive condition
confronts our COW buyers, and which
directly affects the interests of this,
farming community. We refer to a
law recently passed by the Pennsyl-
vania State Legislature which prohibits
the importation of cows into that State
unless accompanied by certificate
that they have been examined by per-
sons officially appointed for that pur-
pose. Cows sent to that State are
now stopped at the State line, where
they are compelled to undergo exami-
nation, which in itself is not only cost
ly but frequently results in cows be-
ing forbidden admittance to the State,
and consequent loss to the dealer.
This has the effect of making COW buy
ers slow to operate in Virginia, and
will in time drive them entirely from
the Valley. We would suggest to
Senator Jackson that he present bill
to the Legislature empowering the
Board of Supervisors to appoint a
suitable man as examiner whose
duties it would be to examine such
stock as were brought to him, and fix
ing his pay at a charge of, say, Efty
cents per head. This will enable buy
ers to buy with more confidence, know
ing that they will not be subjected to
a loss of not only the animal rejected
but the freight. Upon this matter we
have consulted with the leading cow
buyers and find this to be the consen-
sus of opinion Ware" Register.
The law referred to above may
have bad effect on the sale Of stock
in this section. 1t might be well for
our authorities to take some action to
meet its requirements.
