Estimated That 100000 Natives Have
Perished From BubOnic Plague

According to statistics gathered re-
garding the bubonic plague in India
the Bombay correspondent of the AS
ISOLATED Press says it is estimated that
there have been $50. 900 deaths recorded
in India since its beginning. These
figures. however, are undoubtedly far
below the actual total, as the natives
are known TO have concealed quite q
number Of deaths.
Bombay presidency suffered the most
being responsible for l3l. 600 deaths
without counting those which occurred
in the city of Bombay, which, with
Kurrachee, was the chief hotbed Of the
disease.
The deaths in the Bombay presiden-
CIV are still about 900 weekly. The
mortality, which was $50 daily in the
city Of Bombay five weeks ago, has
now sunk to 100 per day and the govern
ment has dropped the rigorous repres-
siye measures.

The speakership.


The Washington ID. O. Star says:
The contest over the speakership OF
the Fifty-sixth Congress promises TO he
complicated at the start. Mr.. sherman
of New York, has announced his candi-
dacy but Mr.. Payne Of the same state
will probably contest the honor with
him. In a State where there is so much
discipline in politics II Is likely that
the delegation will act as a unit and
that both men will abide by decision
of a majority. If Sherman is selected
by the New York delegation the New
England delegations and most OF the
Pennsylvania delegations will likely
support him.
Ohio may have two candidates. IN
Grosvenor and Burton. Hopkins of IL
linois will undoubtedly be a candidate,
and 1t is not thought that Cannon Of
the same state will oppose him.
Gen. Henderson will probably have
free way with the Iowa delegation
since Hepburn says he does not expect
to be candidate. though Hull may
have some ambition in that direction.
Ii is probable that Dalzel VIII an
nounce himself as candidate. ANA he
is very well thought Of among his col
leagues, hut il is doubtful whether The
Quay influence will permit the Penn
sylvania delegation in the House To
support him solidly. 1t is expected
that the Quay influence will be found
cooperating with the Platt combina-
tion. whatever it may be-.
The outcome depends much upon
what the administration does in the
matter. Though it is known that Mr..
Hanna and the Presidents friends
looked with great favor upon Sherman
at one time. il is not certain that they
will adhere to him, with the knowledge
that he is Dir Reeds choice. Moreover
the argument Of Western claims may
have influence in the matter If the
administration people still want Sher
man that will practically assure his
election.
