(By Telegraph TO Virginian- Pilot)
New York, Dec. 29.-Writing on THE
President OF the Twentieth Century"
for u copyrighted special issue OF the
New York World tomorrow, ex- Presi-
dent Cleveland refers TO the PreSiden-
tial tenure in these terms:
Thoughtful citizens will more and
more appreciate the objections urged
against the present indirect and cum
bersome mode of electing their Presi-
dents. The circumstances in which
this plan originated, If ever of con
trolling Importance, ought no longer TO
excuse such Il battling confusion Of
ideas as grows OUT of the Philippine
that in popular government the peo-
pies chief Office and their most direct
representative may be made the reel
pient OF their trust ana the depository
OF their power in fragrant opposition to
the declared popular will.
strong arguments are from time to
time urged in favor OF a change in the
tenure of the Presidential Office. These
should challenge serious attention to
the end that the present constitutional
limit may be removed and Il more rea-
sonable and useful one substituted
There has been continual increase in
the Federal constitutional of a percmp-
tory character and related TO the i'm
mediate routine necessities of the
country: and so it has come to pass
that fthe. four sessions OF Congress
held during n Presidential term two
are so brief as to scarcely permit tile
passage of necessary appropriation
bills, while, of the others one occurs
when the President is usually strange
in his new office and burdened with
opportunities HrTU IuDoT8 insoparaDIe
from change of administration. and
the remaining one encounters during.
its continuance the Interruptions, UNI
idity and Generalization OF n Presi-
dental and Congressional canvass
These conditions suggest the scant OPP
portunity allowed for the initiation and
adoption of new and important RENE
dial legislation during n single Presi-
Dental term. Another argument of
considerable weight in favor of the
change is based upon the complaint
that the business and other important
interests of our people are now too fire.
quently disturbed and disQuieted by
the turmoil and heat of Il Presidential
election. j Is not amiss to add that n
substantial extension of the executive
tenure would pave the way for estab-
fishing the ineligibilty of an incum-
bent to succeed himself--which has
long found favor w.. n large class of
our people as O. consummation much
to be desired.
Thus American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century will be charged with the
duty Of securing for themselves the ac-
tual substance of popular rule by es-
tablishing more direct mode of select
ing the peoples Chief Executive in
strict accordance with the peoples will,
and by so extending the tenure of his
Office as to enable him 10 better serve
his countrymen and more thoroughly
protect and defend all their interests. -

DANGEROUS MOSQUITOES.

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Plot)
Washington, Dec. 29.--rhe United
States government has formally recog-
nized the responsibility of the mosuui-
10 for the transmission of yellow fever
and malarial diseases. This fact is in
dicated by the issuance of a general
order by Major General Wood at Ha-
vana, directed to his post commanders
reciting that the chief surgeon of the
Department of Cuba has reported that
it is now we'll established that malaria,
yellow fever and filariai infection are
transmitted by the bites of mosquitoes.
Therefore, the troops are enjoined to
observe carefully two precautions,
first, they are to use mosquito bars in
all barracks hospitals and field service
whenever practical: second. they are

Permanent pools or puddles are to be

piled one ounce of kerosene to each 15
feet of square water twice month,
which will destroy not only the young.
but the old mosquitoes. This does not
injure drinking water IL drawn from
below and not dipped out. Protection
is thus secured, according to the order.
because the mosquito does not fly far,
seeks shelter when the wind blows, and
thus each community breeds it's own
mosquitoes.

CHINESE AFFAIRS.
Ii HUNG CHANG SUFFERS FROM
PARALYSIS.


QSy Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot.)
Pekin, Dec. 29.-Sir Robert Hart
director of Chinese Imperial Maritime
Customs, frequently sees Prince Ching
He says Prince Ching expects a def
mite reply from the court to the Joint
note of the powers not before January
Sth. He believes that the note will be
accepted in its entirety within short
time.
II is doubtful now whether Ii Hung
Chang will be able to attend the meet
ings of the diplomats. The signs of
Old age are becoming more pronounced
and the lower portion of his body is
completely paraiyzed. Though 1T is
officially announced each day that Earl

that he has not appeared out of doors

GUS propositions, and il is not possible
from the outside TO gather all phases
OF the topic.
strong contention Is being made by
the more conservative element to base
1t upon an educational and property
qualification basis.
The blacks of the island are so nearly
ope-half of the entire population that
when the Spaniards, who reserved citi-
zenship with the mother country, the
Americans, the English, the Germans
and the French, none of whom are
accounted Cuban in the political or
governmental sense, are counted out,
the negroes will have majority OF the
votes should universal suffrage carry.
The proposition to form a federal
government, with six states-Havana
Pinar Del Rio, Matanzas, Santa Clara,
Puerto Principe and Santiago-is really
fight for universal citizenship.
What the outcome will be seems not
difficult to determine. The United
States. it is claimed in certain quarters
here. can hardly accept universal
suffrage clause. Consequently, as it
would be particularly hazardous to
grant this island q government which
might at some time be dominated by
the blacks, and thus make a Haiti or a
San Domingo of it, is it hardly thought
of.
In the matter OF the presidency the
two Gomezes have reconciled their
differences and are pulling together in
prohibiting the election to that office OF

In reply to Gen. Bates, Col. Mills

II don't think that hazing can be
enectually stamped out as long as
human nature remains as it is. Even
In colleges and schools and business
centres it is carried on. For instance
the initiation of a member OF the stock
exchange is marked by rough usage
or the new conner. But l think that
by vigilance of the authorities at this
academy and the corporation of the

This letter was dated November q.
1863. Immediately investigated the
case and replied to the letter November

signed on account of weak eyes and
that he had received no serious injury
in the fight mentioned"
Did you ever in any way call Cadet
