Becoming Very Seftous-POsstbtlity of
an Epidemic of Smallpox.

Pekin, Nov. 16, via Shanghai, Nov.
1S.-Sanitary conditions here are be-
coming serious. Since the foreign oc-
cupation many Chinese have died of
smallpox and other infectious diseases.
Fearing that their funerals would be
interfered with, they have kept most Of
the cotfins containing their dead in
their houses and court yards.
The question of removing garbage
has become one of grave importance.
AS the natives are forbidden to deposit
refuse in the streets there is now an
enormous accumulation In their dwell
ings and yards, which threatens a Sc
rious epidemic. In view of the large
number of troops in and near the capi-
tai, the consequences Of such an out
break would be frightful.
Smallpox, which is always prevalent,
is much more malignant during the
winter season, and the danger here is
now alarmingly increased.

A Graphite Mine.

Although the Two BIT country may

CUBAN FRANCHISE.
BE LIMITED TO THREE CLASSES
This, 1t Is Believed. VIII Result to the
Advantage of the People and the Re-
public.

Chicago, March PA special from
Washington to the Record says:
The principal object of Secretary
Roots visit to Cuba was to obtain i'll
formation and advice concerning the
election for municipal officials and pro
vincinl legislatures which it is pro-
posed to hold early in May. AS 1t will
be the first practical experiment of
self government in Cuba, the Presi-
dent. Secretary Root and General
Wood are extremely anxious that it
shall be Il success and there are sew
eral important questions that must be
Immediately decided. There Is differ
ance of opinion among the Cubans with
whom Secretary Root has consulted as
to whether the vote shall be taken on
the first of May, as has been expected.
lr whether it should be postponed un-
til July. which will give time to make
more careful preparations and allow
longer deliberation upon certain points
that are in dispute.
Each of the six provinces is to be al
lowed to elect a local Legislature, to
enact laws for local government sub
iect to the approval of General Wood
and his council, and an effort is being
made to induce the most intelligent and
responsible men to become candidates.
Thus far men of property have been
reluctant about going into politics for
fear of losing caste and suffering en-
barrassment, but Secretary Root is
very much encouraged since his recent
visit in this respect. 1t is practically
decided that General Woods recon-
nendations concerning the limitation of
suffrage will be adopted and that three
classes shall be allowed to vote-name-
ly. those who are on the pay rolls of
the Cuban army and received the Sf5
bounty from the United States, all who
'an read and write, and all who can
show $3.50 in either real or personal
property.
General Wood thinks that under this
limitation about 100000 voters will ap-
pear Mt the polls The population of
Cuba Is about 100000. and about one
in five are male adults of voting age.
| This makes n total of about 2GO.ob
voters. There We're 10000 names on
The payrolls of the Cuban army, which
being deducted leaves 22OOOO men to
whom the educational and property
test must be applied. and it can not he
expected that more than half of them
will endure either. The percentage of
.lliteracy ms disclosed by the recent cen
sus will be larger than was generally
supposed and not more than twenty
per cent. of the entire Cuban popula-
ton can read and write.
General Wood argues strenuously
against cheapenng the franchise. He
says that the Cubans are all eager to
vote, and that the development of the
island can be promoted rapidly by Of
fering the ballot as n prize for educa-
ton. economy and thrift. The coming
generation will seek the schools in or
der to qualify themselves. and the pres
rnt generation who are too old to learn
/ to read and write will save their earn
! ings and buy property in order to quail
| ify themselves.

= SURPLUS OF MINERS.
High Treatment Charges Have Much to Do
with It.


Advices from Teller county saw there
are more men out of employment in
the gold mining district at present than
has been the case in a number of
years, says the Denver Post. The
cause is laid at the door of machine
drills. But there is n more potent one
in the fact that the high treatment
charges at the smelters has practically
stopped the production of the lowest
grades of ore, and as Il natural Sc
quence the shipment of material con-
tanning less than two ounces gold per
ton. Again it is said that the mills
and smelters have joined hands in the
matter of charges: in other words. the
mill men. taking advantage of their op-
pOrtunity, put on all they think the
ores will stand. By this method of
dealing they are making large profits.
for they can handle the bulk of stuff
that goes to them more cheaply than
the smelters. Not long ago the writer
was Informed by one who knew. for he
had visited all the chemical mills and
ascertained their schedules. that the
latter We're charging from SS to SIS u
ton for treatment. Now the smelters,
through the scarcity and high prices
of lead ores. have some reason for their
rates. because all the Cripple Greet:
product is highly silicious. and it costs
more TO treat it than that of any other
district in the state. This department
Of the Post gave some attention to the
matter last week. As to the mills,
there seems to be no valid reason for
their rates except that they can get
them. Cyanide and salt have not ad-
vanced. nor has any other main con-
stituent of their processes. therefore It
would seem that the miner is between
the upper and neither milestone simply
because the seltishness of the combin-
ations have put him there and intend
to squeeze him to the full limit of the
opportunity. The only way they can
find relief from such extortiOn is to
combine and build II hig mill of their
own at some convenient point large
enough to accommodate themselves
and some part of the public as we'll
This would be direct competition which
the other combines could not overturn.
In the scarcity of custom mills the
owners of those in operation find op-
pOrtunity to make hay while the sun
shines. But it is fcrvently hoped that
the combines will not always rule. We
may be sure that before the year is ou'
the very necessities of the miners VIII"
are now setting aside their low grades
as useless material. will find way t
break the siege.

Bryan May Move to Texas.

Omaha, March 2I.-A special to the
Bee from Washington, ID. c., says:
There is seemingly good reason for
believing that William j. Bryan is
quietly making arrangements to move
to Texas in the event of his defeat for
president.
The Texas delegation in Congress.
and more particularly Senator Cul-
berson and Representative Bailey, look
upon Bryan's movements with con-
siderable trepidation and see in his
quiet trip to the Lone Star state much
10 arouse suspicion. Bryan's children
are going TO school in Austin. They are
in love with the state, so it is said, as
is also Mrs. Bryan. Colonel Bryan
appeals to the emotionalism of the
sourherners to Il remarkable extent
and in point of fact his temperament
savors more of the South than of the
North.
y Texas congressman to-day said
that Mr.. Bryan was the idol OF his
people and that should he meet defeat
Mt the polls losing Nebraska as well
as the nation. he saw no other future
for the Nebraska statesman than for
him to move to the imperial common
wealth of Texas, and take up his resi-
dence with the people who honor him
for the fight he made for silver.
Should Bryan decide TO move TO
Texas" said the congressman, "he
would at once take n prominent place
In the councils of the Democratic
party. and so warm hearted are our
people over wrongs that it would not
surprise me to see him displace Cul-
berson, Chiffon and Bailey In the
leadership and become the Dictator of
Democratic politics in the Lone Star
state. Bryan must realize that with
Nebraska lost to him, he stands but
little show for future preferment and
he can with honor to himself and to
The state turn his eyes toward Texas,
whose Democracy Is unquestioned
and unquenchable."

that n recent strike in the Johnny mine
