HAVANA, Jan. 4.--General Wood to-day
visited the leper hospital The members Of
his staff and others whom he invited to
accompany him found themselves pre-
vented by other engagements" and there
was not the usual alacrity of acceptance.
General Wood. therefore. went alone. He
says he was greatly interested in what he
saw.
The Patria announces to-day that there
are two agents now In the island seek
ing immigrants for Mexico. 1t warns the
public that those who accept the offers
may find when they reach Mexico that
their employers will take them to far
away points in the country, where. with
out friends. they would be reduced to a
state bordering on slavery.
The mayor Of Cienfuegos and a commit
tee representing the municipality have pre-
sented to General Wood for approval a
plan under which the state would supply
oxen and agricultural implements to the
people and the latter would have three
years to pay.

ASKS 100000 DAMAGES.
RefOrmer Doyle Sues for Losses by
"Put and Call" Operations.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-Edward Doyle, whom
his lawyer describes ''reformer, phi
lanthropist and philosopher has insti-
tuted suit against John Robson, Board
of Trade operator, for 100000 damages.
Under the criminal code Of Illinois, losses
by put and CALI operations on the Board
of Trade may be recovered by the loser
or any one else to the amount OF three
times the original loss. Losses OF 100000
each, alleged to have been sustained by
persons named in the suit, were not re-
covered by the losers and Doyle according
ly sues for three times the loss. The law
Of Illinois also provides that judgment
on the amount recovered may be made a
lien on the property in which the gambling
transactions took place, providing the
owners of the property sanctioned it.
Doyle's attorneys say he will at once at
tach the Board of Trade property In case
his suit is successful.

Second Surgical Operation Performed
on Roland Reed.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.-The friends of
Roland Reed in this city We're advised that
DR.. Bull, the famous surgeon. had per-
formed second operation upon the
comedian In New York. The first opera
tion, performed about a week ago; was
supposed to have been made necessary by
an attack of appendicitis. When the wound
was explored. however. the surgeons dis
covered that Mr.. Reed was suffering from
an advanced attack OF intestinal cancer
Mr.. Reed was too weak to stand a radical
operation at that time and delay was
agreed upon. The radical operation was
performed to-day, and from its nature lit
tie hope is held out for his recovery. Should
he survive the shock OF the operation he
will in all probability be an invalid for
some time.

HISTORIES REJECTED
because They Referred TO England

CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-Histories of England,
furnished as supplementary reading for the
seventh and eighth grades in Chicago
schools, were thrown out by the school
management committee of the Board Of
Education. to-day, and the district super
intendents ordered to recommend other
books on English history which would not
contain any reference to England as the
mother country"
When the matter came up on the motion
to adopt several hundred books for sup
Elementary reading, Trustee Heating, who
Is president Of the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians, said: Every book on this list
is good. with the exception of the histories
Of England. I think it is time the pubic
schools Of Chicago should have histories
which show the rapaeity and tyranny of
England in their true light. The history of
England Is worth studying, but our chill
dren do not want to be reminded that Eng
land is the only country on the globe. What
we want In the schools is history of Eng
land which will be liberal enough to allow
credit to other countries"

DEEP-SEA SOUNDINGS.
Prof. Agassiz Tells Of His Work I'm
the Pacific Ocean.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. 4.-Alexander
Agassiz, director Of the Agassiz Museum
of Harvard has just sent a letter from
the island Of Tahiti, in the Pacific ocean.
to the United States fish commissioner.
Prof. Agassiz left San Francisco in the
Albatross, a vessel loaned by the govern
ment to study the bottom Of the Pacific
ocean. He made seventy-two soundings
in the hitherto unknown basin at the bot
tom of the ocean. A large amount of ami
NAL matter was studied by dredging from
the bottom of the ocean, with the gen.
eral conclusion that there is little life in
the deeper part Of the sea far away from
land. The last heard from Prof. Agassiz
was a cable to the museum on Dec q
from the Fiji islands.

SULLIVAN NOMINATED.
Will Represent Mississippi I'm the
Senate for a short Term.


JACKSON. Miss, Jan. 4.-Amid scenes Of
turbulence and dissension unequaled in
state history, the joint Democratic caucus
of the Mississippi Legislature tonight
nominated Senator w. V. Sullivan as the
United States senator to fill the short term
of one year ending March, 1901 The call
for the caucus was signed by 104 mem
bers, six of whom were Lowry men. The
| signatures included all members who had
been suspected of an intention to bolt their
instructions. 1t was evidently the intention
of the Lowry followers to postpone the
caucus if possible. owing to their state
of unpreparedness. and this was mani
| tested from the outset by the dilatory
| tactics adopted and the numerous motions
maze. The Sullivan followers captured the
caucus organization by electing George
Anderson, of Warren. as chairman. After
nearly two hours of parliamentary wrang-
| ling, during which several members were
| called to order roll call was secured and
| Sullivan given the nomination by a vote
| of SS to r. Mr.. Bowers. of Biloxi, one OF
| Lowry's stanchest supporters then moved
that the nomination be made unanimous,
| which was carried. This set aside all pos
| sbility of further contest when the
| formal election is brought up in the Legis-
| lature. The caucus closed with concilia-
tory speeches by Sullivan and Lowry.
| Hon. w. v. Sullivan is a civil attorney
by profession. and man Of considerable
| personal wealth. He is a native of La
| fayette county and is now in his forty
second year. While not a brilliant orator.
he is plain, forcible talker. Mr.. Sulli-
van was serving a term in Congress when
| the death of Senator Waltham occurred,
and Governor McLaurin appointed him to
| fill the vacancy. short term of one year
from the 4th of March, 1900. to the 4th Of
March, 1901. ensuing as a result of the
adoption of the new Constitution. he
made a canvass for election to the place
| against Ex-Governor Lowry.
