SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Four More Cases Develop at Los

LOS ANGELES. March 6-The small
pox situation showed no Improvement

all forms of the disease that are likely

considered smallpox, but two of them
were pronounced varioloid. Two more
cases are in the hands of the health
authorities classed as suspects. and
there is strong probability that they

Railway Rates in Porto Rico.

A short line is in operation between
Yauco and Ponce, a distance of ~
miles. with two stations on the line at
Guayanilla and Tallaboa. This railroad
has an average annual income of 81
7eO ner mile. but it should be noted
that. because of the high freight rates,
50 % per ton for 22-mile haul, or ID
cents per ton al mile, a great part of the
freight carrying between Yauco and
Ponce is performed by OK carts in sue
cessful competition with the railroad.
The freight rates of the OK carts are
not much lower than those of the rail-
way, and the speed about the same.
Besides this excessive charge, the rail-
way does not offer the facilities which
should obtain in this district, as it does
not reach to the harbor of Ponce, where
the great bulk of business is done. Bulk

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
A Great Rush for Appointment I'm
der the New Act.

WASHINGTON, March 6-Secretary
Alger was fairly overrun to-day by
Congressional callers, nearly every one
of whom had one or more candidates
for appointment in the regular or vol
unteer army, under the terms of the
reorganization Act. 1t is a safe esti-
mate that Is per cent. of the officers
in the present volunteer army are anx-
ious to remain in the service.
The Secretary, in answer to ques-
ton to-day, said that he had not yet
been able to make any selections for
appointment. There is some doubt
whether appointments of officers for
the volunteer branch of the service
under the new law will not have to be
deferred indefinitely, that is, until such
time as the volunteer regiments have
been actually recruited. AS there is
a disposition at present to get along
without these volunteer soldiers as long
as possible, the chances of any appoint
ments being speedily made in the Off
GERS grades are not very bright.
The War Department has made an
announcement of apportionment of 101
Second Lieutenants created by the army
reorganization bill among the various
States and Territories. In addition.
there are twenty appointments at
large. The apportionment is on the
basis of population, and is as follows:

Miss Constance Edgar, who entered the
visitation convent a few years ago, was
the daughter of Mime. Bonaparte by her
first marriage. Her debut was a most
brilliant social event and she was a great
faVOr1te in SOciet but she preferred to for
sake these Vanities to enjoy the quiet life
Of a clustered nun.
In Europe it is not at all unusual for
Titled personages to get away from the
madding crowd, to see, in the retirement
or a convent, their souls salvation. Al
present there are at least two princesses
Of the blood royal who wear the habits Of
a nun and follow the strict rules OF their
religious orders.
One of these is the Russian grand
duchess Nicholas Nicolawitch, the widow
of the grand duke of that name. No
member of the Russian royal family was
more thoroughly disreputablc than the
usband of this good woman. The scam
dals of his private life were a great trial
to his brother, Emperor Alexander III. but
ne was allowed to remain in Russia until
1t was found that he was dishonest and
had been carrying on the most colossal!
steals. Then he was banished in disgrace
from the country by his nephew. the late
emperor. The grand duke lived but a
short time after his public exposure and
upon his ceath his wife retired to one of
the underground converts that exist in
the holy city of Klieff. There she took

since that time has devoted her life in
praying for the epo of the soul and the
flEal salvation of her wicked husband.
The other royal nun is another woman
whose aye are often devoted to the
soul of a dissolute husband. She is the
Princess Clothilde B~onaparte, the sister
of King Humbert and the widow of the
cousin of Napoleon III. On that memoir
able Sept. 4. When the empire was over
thrown. the princess drove from Paris
and sought refuge in a convent. 4 few
months later she secured a separation
from her elderly but disreputable nus
band and took the vows of a Sister Of
Mercy. to which she has since remained
true. During her husbands last illness at
Rome, she nursed him faithfully, but she
wore her habiliments of a nun and when
his eyes had been closed In death she
returned to her castle at Montecalieri,
near Turin. which she had converted into
a hospital n founding asylum, and
since that time she has devoted herself
studiously to the welfare of it's inmates.

WEATHER AND BUSINESS.

The wish of the merchants have at last
been granted because winter for which
they prayed is at hand. The thermometer
has not got down to zero, nor is the snow
deep enough for sleighing, but there Is
enough of each to make the masses pur
chase goods, if cold weather will bring
such a thing about and that is the only
reason why the merchants wanted VIM
ter. A cold wave from the east was re-
ported on the way yesterday, n came
last last night. at least the thermometer
fell several degrees, but did not get be-
zero. 1t has showed a little every a
this week. still there is but little snow on
the ground and no prospect of sleighing
for Christmas. unless four or more inches
fall between now and then. The cold snap
has undoubtedly frightened up trade in
every department. Merchants, who dur
ing the balmy weather of November n
early December complained bitterly of
poor trade. are now doing a good rushing
business, which promises to continue far
beyond the holidays. Taking all things
into consideration-weather, business,
etc. the conditions in Anaconda could be
a great deal worse.
