Responsible.

Paris, Aug. 2.-General de Galliffet,
minister of war, has issued a note de-
nying the reports that the measures
for military discipline Eaken since the
Waldeck-Roussaau ministry was
formed were the result Of pressure on
him by his colleagues. General de Gal

prepared the measures and submitted
them to the council, which approved
them. The note concludes: The

Sir David's Report Causes Anger and
Annexation Talk

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 2.-The re-
port of Sir David BarDour, late fnan-
cial minister of India, who has been
studying the sugar industry of ia
maioa in its bearings upon the political
situation, has been published here.
The report has created q senaat ton
and angry Disappointment, being re-
garded as the result of a prearranged
scheme 10 daspoil the colony of q rep
resentative constitution which would
be likely to encourage the American
annexation tendency by alternating the
wavering sentiment OF royalty. The
report may be summarized as follows:
The condition of de colony, though
precarious, is not altogether hopeless;
but an immediate loan Of &1675, 900
sterling is necessary, which would be
warrantabIe only if the colony res gns
its constitution, accepting imperial
control.
Public opinion considers thai. any
thug would be preferable % surrender
of 'he constitution, the m0s5 conserva-
tive even whispering OF annexation as
an alternative.

GOOD ROADS.
The AIbemurle People Stirred Up
over the Question.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA, February
G.-(Special) good roads question is
engaging the attention of the people Of
this section more seriously. perhaps, than
it has ever done before. There is no ma
cadam of any consequence in the county,
and this winter of alternate freezing and
thawing has resulted in soft roads, al
most rightly described as bottomless and
impossible. TO haul loads of average
weight is not thought Of. 50 that much
the farmer has TO sell is either left stored
on his farm or sold at profit made dis
cOuragingly small if not entirely wiped
out by the increased cost of reaching the
market. This has much to do with dis
couraging the farmer and destroying his
confidence in his farm as a good and valu-
able property, and down goes the price
of farm lands below what is reasonably
their value. OF course, the fact Of bad
roads, interpOsing serious barriers be-
tween the farm and the market. counts
in fixing the value of land. 1t has done
untold harm in this section. \ convention
TO consider this grave question is pro-
posed, and it is pretty certain it will be
called in March or April and will con-
tinue two or three days to give time for a
free and full discussion and formulation
Of plans. Already, prominent gentlemen
have slgniied their purpose 10 aid IN the
convention with their experience and adj
vice. and there is reason 10 believe that
some practical and effective work will
be done. This city is deeply interested in
the matter, for its trade has been seri-
Ously affected by the Inconvenience OF
reaching this market over wretched roads
