TOlstOf and the Car

London, January 1.-THE Daily Mail
prints the following dispatch from
Odessa:
While journeying north from Liva-
dia, Emperor Nicholas, during = break
for luncheon at Toola, capital of the
government of the same name, in Cen
trail Russia, sent a delicately worded
message expressing his desire to see
Count Leo Tolstoi. Contrary to ex-
pectation, Tolstoi accepted the invita-
ton and soon appeared at the railroad
station.
In his peasants garb he presented a
striking contrast to the richly dressed
encourage of the czar. Emperor Nicho-
las kissed him on the month and both
cheeks, Tolstoi readily responding.
Then a conversation commenced. The
car asked his guest for an expression
upon the imperial proposal for the linn
itation of ornaments. Count Tolstoi
replied that he could only believe in
it when his majesty should set the ex-
ample to other nations. On the car
mentioning the difficulties of the prob
lem and the necessity for united aid
of the great powers, the count express
ed the hope that his majesty would be
able to attain definite results, or, at
any rate, to formulate some workable
plan at the conference. The car,
thanking him for his good wishes, said
he would be pleased if Tolstoi could be
induced to lend his genius to the solu-
ton of the question, and the count re-
Joined that the emperor might count
on his cooperation, for he was already
engaged upon a work dealing with the
question in point, which would soon
see the light.

TO CLEAN UP HAVANA
The Work Begun in Ernest-Very Lit.
tie Sickness Among Our SOldfers-A
Spot too Foul to Support Life

Havana, January 16.-The colossal
task of putting into proper sanitary
condition every dwelling in Havana
began today, Major Davis hiring 100
resident physicians for a house-to-
house inspection, to compel obedience
to the new regulations. AL cesspools
under houses are to be closed and gar
bage is to be removed daily. 1t is eX-
pected that the city will be in a fairly
good sanitary condition with three
months, without underground sewer
age. The old residents regard the new
health regulations as unnecessary n
meddlesOme and even some well-to-do
and we'll informed persons when maxi
ing their objections describe themselves
as healthy enough. Today 1000 people
are engaged in the work of cleaning
h streets and public buildings.
There is so little sickness among the
United States troops that twenty fe-
male nurses out of the 100 originally
employed have been dismissed.
Senior Eduardo Zayas and his son,
while journeying from Las Tunas to

Colonel w. J.. Bryan Says 1t is Very
Much Alive

Denver, Col, January lev. J.
Bryan declared in a brief speech which
he made at the public reception given
to him by the metallic league Of this
city that the silver issue is still very
much alive. He said:
"The cause lives because it embodies
the hopes, the aspirations and the be-
lief of our people. It is a strong cause,
because the people need silver. The
American people favor b~imetallism,
never mind where the silver is produc-
ed. We do not need it because it is
produced here. People eat because
they need it, not because food has to be
consumed. And so with gold and sill
YER; they are important in the worlds
commerce because they are needed and
you can never destroy silver while it
is needed. The farmer, the creator of
wealth, knows that the gold standard
lowers prices without raising money;
and if the gold standard should once
be established you may set it down
that the date of bankruptcy is not far
ahead. To restore bimetallism is to re-
store the parity between money and
property. Those who advocate the gold
standard as a rule, know that the gold
dollar is not stable nor honest. The
strength of the gold standard is to be
found in the money centers and it's
strongest advocates are those, who
when their dollar is invested, want it
to go up"

The Win nebagos alone eling to the native mode of living, occupying their wigwams in even the coldest weather. One-half of the members of the other tribes, the Milwaukee Sentinel says, speak enough English for the purpose of ordinary conversation, and more than one-half read the English language. Tbey are fast learning to recognize the legality of matrimonial relations. Eighty-hYe per cent. of them are engaged in pur- suits of civilized life; ten per cent. in hunting, fishing and root gathering and the like; only five per cent. live ex- clusiYely on government rations. Of the 1.800 Oneidas, the 1900 Menomi- nees, and the 500 Stockbridges and Munsees, all live on labor in civilized pursuits.
