ALBANY ABOUT TO SAIL.
The United States cruiser Albany, pur-

The plague in India continues virulent.
There were $50 victims in Bombay City
during the week ending Feb. 16. With
over 61,000,000 people affected by the
famine, and only about 100000 in receipt
of relief India seems In bad plight,
though the suffering over the $4,000
square miles of famine area is decreasing.
The India government has issued a de-
cree indorsing plague incubation, and the
viceroy Lord Curzon, is advocating its
use in India, and pays high tribute to its

The Spectator, commenting on the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, claims 1t is to Great
Britain's advantage and to the interest
of the United States to fortify the Mic

Great Britain is against such policy is
a delusion. The Spectator adds:
IF America asks us to give up the
clause forbidding the fortifcation, we
ought to, and most Certainly should at
once agree to do SO"
The Spectator, however, points out that
other powers might not be willing, for,
though Great Britain in effect has ac-
knowledged the validity Of the Monroe
doctrine, the rest of the world has not
The Rev. F. B. Nash, of Newark, O.,
