During the War of the Rebellion a
large proportion of the wounded died
the number of these on both sides-ex-
elusive of those who died in battle be-
ing about 10000. The development of
modern antiseptic methods of surgery,
and the use of the rapid fire rifle with
its smaller calibre and increase
velocity, has greatly changed all this.
During the War Of the Rebellion a
large percentage of the wounded died.
In our late war with Spain the greater
number of them recovered. In the
Civil War. a man shot through
the lungs. was almost sure to die. The
hemorrhage following the impact of an
old fashioned Springfield rifle bullet
was generally fatal within a few hours
al the outside. The exceptions to this
rule were exceedingly few and far be-
tween. In the war with Spain COM
paratively few such wounds resulted
fatally. The small Mauser bullet in
passing through a victim left small
hole and the amount of hemorrhage
was surprisingly small. Skilled nurs-
ing undoubtedly played very i'm
portant part in restoring such large
health and strength. The wars Of the
future in spite of the great improve
ments in ordnance will be reasonably
certain to be attended with far
smaller death-rate in proportion to the
number Of troops engaged, than have
those of the past.
But the cost of war has grown
steadily larger. The peace congress
now in session at The Hague has
drawn special attention to the enor-
nous burdens imposed upon the people
Of Europe by the great military sys-
TENS now in vogue with the leading
nations upon the other side of the At
lantic. The following table shows tho
amount paid per capita in the various
countries for the support Of such milf
tary and naval establishments. even in
times Of peace, under war conditions
this burden would, Of course, be very
largely increased:

LONDON, June "a representative

now that the United States Embassa-
dor, Joseph II. Choate, has had two IN
terviews on the subject with the Mar
quis of Salisbury, at which his strong
representations of the American view
of the matter met with a most prom
ising reception.
Mr.. Choate, since his arrival in Eng
land, has taken the livelieSt interest in
the case. He has received every shred
of information in the matter. has asked
for higher judicial opinions, and his
own legal knowledge has given him
exceptional facilities in dealing with
the intricacies of the case. One of Mrs.
Maybrick's advocates, well-known
worker of the Liberal party, j. III. Levy.
provided Mr.. Choate with a specially
compiled dossier of the whole case. in

advice of the highest legal authorities

The woman has not been herself for
several days. She went to her room
about 10 o'clock Thursday morning.
Soon afterward Mrs. Barber heard
pounding, but thought nothing of 1t.
Later she heard a call from the woman,
and, going to her room, found her lying
on the floor. In each hand and foot was
a wound made by spike and blood was
flowing from small wounds in her fore
head. Deliy calmly announced to her
mistress that she had crucitied herself
and was going to die.
Mrs. Barber hurried her into bed and
later had her taken to the hospital. She
refused to have physician and said
she only wanted to see Father Barrett.
She said she had known for several
days she must do this thing. 1t was her

GROWTH OF THE SUGAR
INDUSTRY IN GERMANY
America the Market for Much of the
Surplus Product of the
Empire

WASHINGTON, June "a report Of
interest to beet sugar growers has been
received by the State Department from
Consul Henry Diedrich at Magdeburg.
1t is a collection of the most reliable
statistics obtainable since 1877. 1t is al
most entirely composed of tables show
ing the development of the industry IN
Germany, but of particular interest only
to those engaged in the business. In
closing Consul Diedrich says:
The future Of the German export trade
in sugar has of late been engaging many
minds, and I would call special attention
to the above figures bearing on this eX-
port up to the present date. These clearly
show that Germany must find an outside
market for two-thirds of her production
and that most of this surplus for the past
five years has been sold to England and
the United States. 1t also will be seen
that in 1897 nearly double the quantity
was rushed to our country in anticipation
of the enactment of the Dingley law, but
that the following year showed. again a
fair average of exports. The first three
months of the present calendar year
seem to furnish no reason for complaint
to the German exporter of sugar. From
January to March 81 1899, the values OF
sugar declared at the United states con
sulates at Magdeburg. Hamburg, Danzig
and Stettin for export to the United
States amounted to S3,739 1874, an increase

TEN MILLION PESETAS
FOR THE CAR0LINES

BERLIN, June "a high official tells
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press that the acquisition of the Carolines
is a valuable rounding of the German pos
sessions, at the same time injuring no
other power, but rather the contrary. He
| added: THE negotiations began as soon
as it became known that the United
States would obtain the Philippines. The
United States and Great Britain did not
raise any objections.
Officials of the United States embassy
state that the United States Government
has been kept informed of every step
taken by Germany since the autumn and
that German ownership of the islands in
no way interferes with American plans
and policy in that quarter.
1t is reported in diplomatic circles that
| Germany pays ten million pesetas for the
| islands.
Responding to the statement of the Lon
don Standard that the cession of the Caro-
lines is GermanyS reward Tor diplomatic
service rendered by her to Spain, the Ber-
liner Neueste Nachrichten says the insin-
uation is more than counterbalanced by
the much more reasonable utterances of
the Times and Morning Post regarding
the cesSion.
1t adds that the assertion that Germany
did not show equal honest neutrality to
either side during the Spanish american
that Germany had intended to acquire
possession of the Philippines or part
thereof, have been refuted by the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, Baron Won Bulow
in his speech in the Reichstag when he
was applauded by all parties"
The same old Bismarck organ, being
also the organ of the German Colonial
party, looks upon the cession of the isl.
ands as symptom of the existence of
very friendly relations between the United
States and Germany.

JUNEAU, Alaska, May &c. S.
BeaIe of Marysville, Cal, has just come

He has had enough of it. Mr.. Beale
thinks the Atlin country has been

opinion is the result of an attack of

He says he prefers to prospect in
Southeastern Alaska for gold quartz
than TO chase the placer phantom all
over Alaska. Hundreds of other men
who came here to hunt placer are now
prospecting for quartz in place. The
chances for finding paying ore are
about even with that of locating good
gravel, to say the least, and the ex-
pense is less by half.
Hundreds of people have left Atlin
and more are leaving daily. This is on
account of disappointment in the coun-
try and prospects Mr.. Beale says the
population of Atlin City is reduced to
about 1900 whereas about four weeks
ago the inhabitants of the town num-
bered about 5000.
The few claims that are being worked
are on Pine Creek Everywhere else the
six feet deep. Three claims are being
worked on Pine Creek close to discov-
cry, but these are the only ones. Mr..
Beale says they are paying about an
ounce a day to the man. This is a good
starter above bedrock
1t is exceedingly problematical that
this season will show the extent Of
placer gold deposits in the Atlin coun-
try. The season is already a month
late both in the interior and on the
coast among the stamp mills. 1t will
be about the middle of July, unless un-
usually warm weather sets in, before
the snow will permit work on all the
