No Fusion in the West. il.

The Evening Post, published at Wash

there will be no more alliance OF silver
republicans with democrats. The help
that was given by the silver rep@ bllcans
in past campaigns will not be forth

future is idle The democrats welcomed
the silver republicans as allies i'll close
states, but in states where they secured
the ascendency repudiated them III the
most contemptuous manner. The men
who received this treatment are not
likely to put themselves i'll position to
experience it again, and whatever the

Diver with a Record.

The greatest diving feat ever achieved was in moving the cargo of the ship Cape Horn wrecked off the coast of South America, when a diver named Hooper made seven descents to depth of over 200 feet. remaining at one time forty-two minutes under the water. An authority states that the greatest depth to which man has been known to descend does not exceed 220 feet, which is equivalent to pres- sure of eighty-eight and one-half pounds to the square inch.

Island is 2 NTaenee.

In tle Baltic the Danish Island Born. holm, which is situated about twenty four miles, east by south, from ths nearest point of Sweden, may be re- garded as huge magnet. Although the power of this magnetic island is not so great that it can draw the nails out of ships, as was told of the legend. ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bornholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- ble to ships in quite another way. for the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes a vessel to turn pereeptible aside from its course. The effect of the island magnetism is felt at distance of about nine and half miles. On the island cf Can1a lone of the Argyllshire Heb- r.des), situate about three miles north vest of Rum, there is a hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the compasses of vessels passing near it. The island is a mile in breadth by four aud half miles in length.

William Keh1 CT, the marine who died from yellow fever at Havana the other day, vas one of the talleat and strongest men in the corps. being more than feet tall and weighing 18O pounds. He was 24 years old. and his home was in Brooklyn. He was trans ferred from the Columbia to the Reso- lute at League Island, going to Ha- Yana Dec. If.
 Kebrer was stationed with a corps of forty men on the Maehina wharf. Up to June Il he was in the best of health, His case was not thought to be yellow fever until June II, for the symptoms were not alarming. The barracks had been thoroughly furni- gated and precautions taken against the spread of the fever.
 Kehrer's death was the first among the marines and the second yellow fever death among American soldiers. The other was Patrick Twohig of the Second Engineers, who died in Mart anao in January.

ANNAPOLIS CADETS.

Now on Their Summer Trip in Foreign
 Waters.
 One of the most pleasant things about being an Annapolis cadet is the chance they have of going on summer cruises. The second class men are aboard an oldfashioned sailing vessel, such as was used by our navy before We had steam warships. These young zen are required to do the work Of common sailors; in fact, they do every thing there is to be done on the boat They started in June and will return in September. They stop for a week 0r so at Plymouth, England, and ar engagements have been made for then to spend few days in London. Then they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the boys are wondering how Spain's neigh bors will receive them. After that they go to Gibraltar, and then home again. Of course there is a good deal of fun to be got out of the trip, and a great deal to see; but it is a part of their four years course at the naval aead- emy, and they have to work harG scrubbtng decks and taking in sails and the slightest disobedience is pun ished. Before they left this country they stopped off Hampton Roads for z few days and went through a lot of drilling, including the "deserting of the ship" Tn this drill the crew puts pro- visions in the small boats, launch them and row away toward land, jus2 as they would have to do if the ship took fire or were in sinking condition.

A QUEENS CHARITY.
eortugars Sovereign Has Taken Crest
 Interest in Hospitals

Interest in Hospitals.
 We hear less about Portugal than about Spain at any, time, and of late have heard less than usual. The queen of Portugal is a sovereign deserving 2 long mark for her interest in hospl.als and hygiene, and also in the welfare of the children of poverty. At Alcantara she founded, in 1893, a dispensary pc- euliarly for meeting the demands of childish invalids. as pleasantly sit uated as possible, and spaciousIy planned, combining a diet-kitehen. consultation rooms, surgical halls and much of the departmental work of hospital. Almost every day she her self goes to the establishment and takes a personal share in the labors of eharity-now waiting i'll the kitchen distributions, and again assisting ih the surgery. Several well known wom- en of her court are equally practical. The general charge of it is committed 10 a religious crder, faYorite Of the queens, but the eminent Portuguese physician, Dr Silva Caryalho, heads the staff of medical workers. In one year (18951 there were given in the build ing. 8,559 consultations, 63,704 rations from the diet=kitehen. 32.521 bandages5 76, ,480 prescriptions and 470 yaccina- tions The milk and vegetables are furnished gratis by the queen, and the medical supplies are also defrayed by her. Fifteen hundred babies were treated in one twelyemonth. It is said there is not any royal charity of the sort in Europe so efficiently managed, with the additional active cooperation of the founder.-Harper's Weekly.

Of our own country. Whatever honest
American packers may have done for
their own vindication IN connection with
the embalmed beef business, they certain
ly eve it to their own interests as well as
to the commercial good name of this peo-
pie to inform themselves of the origin of
that salt carrion imported from New
York under contract with the British au-
thorities.
The disposition exists in very marked
form all over the continent of Europe to
believe the worst that can be said of our
meat exports. That particular form of in
dustry has encountered the deepest preju-
dice in foreign countries. Much ado was
mace in Germany and other foreign coun-
tries while the embalmed beef occupied
the stage about the dangerous character
OF American brea1stuffs. This particular
transaction will arouse even greater feel-
ing. Unless the American meat exporters
are willing to assume generally the odium
of this transaction, they will hasten to
enlighter the world as to who the par
ticular offender is n this case.

A vIsITANDINE ANNIVERSARY.

Today is the patronaI feast day of
Mother Clementine, superior of the Visi-
tatiOn convent. 1t will be observed by the
community and the pupils with becoming
manifestations. But when all is said and
done there something more is needed in
the tribute to one of the really remarka
Bile women in st. Paul 1t is indisputable
that much of the finest, nobiest and most
enduring work has been and Is done by
the quiet, unobtrusive women in the
world and in the cloister. Many of them
have abilities that, were they exercised
in public would secure distinction. Yet,
as the feminine majority of today prefers
the requital or the applause of the BUSH
ness, political and philanthropic lists, it
is we'll to have a counter-balancing con-
tingent who loves unobtrusiveness in the
conduct ofslife and effort.
Since coming here twenty-five years
ago in the original group Of visitandines,
Sister Clementine. whenever elected
mother superior, has directed the spirit
ual, secular and educational affairs of the
convent with knowledge, practical skill
and frmness Of mind by which difficult
ties We're overcome, and lasting advan-
tages secured
Ceaselessly animated by a loving vo-
cation to teach, and an unWearied activity
in keeping pace with the intellectual re-
quirements Of her position, she has been
a successful aSplrant after every needed
form of learning, until her energetic men
tai alertness has made the convent school
curriculum of the present time so perfect,
that If the town were aware of it's excel
lence, pupils would not leave home to be
educated.
At intervals one hears shallow persons
say that convent schools are of the past,
and cannot now compete with secular in
situations, etc.-OverloOking the fact that
religious orders whose mission is teaching
are not so unmindful of their interests
as to neglect any essentials in promoting
them.
During the summer vacation the best
teachers and professors instruct the clois-
tered orders in all the varied exactions
Of complete advanced teaching.
The purpose of this notice is not to
catalogue studies. although it Is not amiss
to mention them in writing of Mother
Clementine, whose understanding, spirit
and high resolves have compassed SO
much for the educational success of the
convent. The humble, gentle nun would
shrink from the very thought Of public
mention, but happily she cannot hinder it.

COMPLETE THE STATE Survey.

If the Minnesota Congressional deIega-
ton Will for once throw aside their petty
5ealousies and that envy, malice and I'M
charitableness which has on too many oc-
casions- characterized their dealings with
one another they might accomplish dur
ing the ensuing session one work which
would be of great benefit to the state.
The government survey of Minnesota,
although almost completed, has been
hanging fire for several years to the great
injury and detriment of the state. Only
forty-two whole and ten fractional town
ships, including that singular jumping-off
place known as the Northwest Angle"
remain unsurveyed. and the estimated
cost of surveying these townships and
completing the government survey of the
whole state is estimated at $4,000 for the
forty-two towns and the ten fractions
and $4,000 for the northwest angle
Once the survey is completed, the
states swamp and other land claims could
be finally adjusted, losses to. the state by
contests and squatting would cease, the
Office Of United States surveyor general
could be closed and, as has been done in
other states under similar circumstances.
the government plats and field notes of
survey which have accumulated in that
Office would be turned over to the state
land department.
Minnesota is old enough to have its sur
vey closed up. and such action would be
in the interests of economy. The present
incumbent of the office of surveyor gem
eral would not suffer as the work would
occupy more than his full term before it
is completed, and an end would be put TO
the expensive and annoying contests and
litigation in which the state is now and
has been involved owing to the non-com-
pletion of the survey.
The attention of Minnesota's senator's
and representatives in congress is respect
fully drawn to the Importance of securing
from congress an appropriation of not
less than $4,000 for this purpose, and if
they will display some energy and act
together they can obtain it. The Glob e
recommends this matter to them for their
careful consideration and action.
