were killed, but the exact number is
not known A factory was also de-
Btroyed at this place.
A huge landslide below st. Mary's
seminary destroyed the railroad bridge
and completely blocked the road. A
breach thirty yards wide has been
made and the rails are hanging up in
the air. 1t is thought the break cas..

able to journey on foot and with much

M. Jules Roche, the former French
Minister Of Commerce. and president
of the new French Taxpayers League,
has Just published a pamphlet on the
financial situation in France, which
contains some striking figures. He
argues that to form correct idea OF
the present financial situation in
France it is necessary to go back at
least as far as 1874, when the interest
to be paid on the loans contracted for
the Franco Prussian war was already
inscribed in the budget. In that year
the budget amounted to 2,623, ,000, ,000
francs. The draft budget for 1893
amounts to 100000 francs. show
ing an increase since 1874 Of 851, ,000,-
600 francs. The average annual in
crease in expenditure has, therefore,
been 24,000,000 francs, or rather. when
various considerations of the public
debts are taken into consideration

windfall Of &c, 100000 francs per an
mum which the state will have at its
disposal in 1850, when the railways
of France become it's property, M
Roche points out that the profits OF
the railways in France will have much
Increased in that time. He estimates
from the growth of traffic that the net
profits Of the railways will be at least
1,042, ,000, 900 francs.

When the parade reached Madison
Square, Dewey and Van Wyck alight-
ed from the carriage. They were es-
corted to a stand. on which the ad-
miral reviewed the long line that fol-
lowed. Each company as it passed sa-
luted the Manila hero, who always re-
sponded gracefully. This was the first
occasion Dewey had to see the arch
erected in his honor. Its beauty ap-
pealed to him instantly.
The masterpiece is from the hands
of fifty leading sculptors, and stands
at the head intersection of Twenty
fourth street and Fifth avenue. at a
point where there is an extended view
of two of New Yorks leading thorough

The arch was designed along the
lines of the Arch of Titus, as this

most effectively symbolizes the power
of the United States as a maritime ma
