The United States has more than 50,-
900 tons of coal distributed at various
points throughout the world for the
use of warships, and this amount will
be increased by additions to be made
by schooners en- route. The largest
coal pile is at Manila, where there are
$4,000 tons. AS large quantity is now
on the way to the far west.
At Guam there are 1855 tons, and q
station to accommodate 10 ,0OOis to be es-
tablished. Honolulu has naval coal pile
of 10,91S tons, and Rear Admiral Brad

tons at Pago Pago, and an increase of
$500 tons will be made upon the COM

KOCH INVESTIGATES MALARIA
Noted BacteriolOGIst Says Total Exc
tirpation of Disease Is
Possible.

Prof. Robert Koch, the Berlin bacte-
riologist, who has been conducting sci
entific Investigations in German coll
onies for year past, has arrived at
Hong-Kong on his way home. He an
nounced to physicians there that he
had discovered means of preventing
the spread of malaria in malarial dis
tricts, and even stamping out the dis
ease itself. His experiments in this
line were conducted in New Guinea,
where a large number of natives die
yearly of malaria.
DR.. Koch's treatment consists in CIV
ing the patient medicine he has dis
covered the chief ingredient of which
is quinine. This is for both curative
and preventive purposes, He also
found it necessary to eXpel the malari-
al parasites as well, chief among which
were mosquitoes. To accomplish this
most stringent efforts were necessary,
but reports received here do not give
details as to how it was accomplished.
DIR. Kock stated, however, that in his
opinion total extirpation of malaria is
possible.
By adoption of his methods Dr. Koch
believes that every malarial district
may be absolutely purged of malaria.
In temperate climates it will be much
easier than in tropical. His investiga-
tiOns will be completed in his Berlin
laboratory. ---

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1900.
SHOWS DECREASE.
Falling or Reported I'm the Annual
Post ONCE Deficit of About
RI.5OO,OOO.

There was q deficit in the postal re-
ceipts last year of $4,S94 71S.s4, or about
81, 100000 less than that of the previ-
Gus year. Henry Castle, auditor of the
post Office department, has just re-
ceived from the bookkeeping division
the trial balance showing receipts
and expenditures of the postal service
for the year ended June 30, 1900. This
statement, taken in connection with
that of the money order statement,
which was completed a week ago,
shows the entire financial results of
the postal service for the fiscal year.
The financial statement of the postal
service proper for the year 1900 is: Ex-
penditures. 107,249 ,29S.13; revenue,
$102 1854, 4,579.29; excess of expenditures
over revenue, $4,S94, ,71S.S4. The excess
of expenditures over receipts, or net
deficit of the postal service, is about
$1,500,000 less than the deficit for the
preceding fiscal year.
The principal item of revenue is the
sale of stamps and stamped paper.
That item for the year under review
amounted to $94, ,699.63, an increase
of Sc, ,733,045.62 over the preceding year.
The total financial transactions of
the postal service, including the mon
ey order statement, were $714,394, ,191. .22
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900.
Compared with the transactions of
1896 there is shown to be a growth of
$1So,Ooo,Oo0. This increase is just 33 la
per cent.

THE ENGLISH VOLUNTEERS.
Fighting Value of the Cifizen-sOldier
Proved by the War Wased
in South Africa.

recent number of Cassell's Maya
zine contains an illustrated article
in series upon "The National De-
fense," dealing specially with the vol
unteers. The author says: Anxious
to CLEAN few interesting facts about
the volunteer force from someone
whose statements and opinions were
those of an expert, | hied me to the
house of friend of mine who had for
years been in command of one of the
most famous of volunteer regiments.
He was, as l expected, only too pleased
to talk upon his pet subject, for the
Improving of the volunteer force has
been the study of his lifetime. "You
see," he began, in answer to prelim-
mary query of mine relative to the
fighting value of the citizen soldier,
"the Transvaal war has answered your
first question. The city imperial vol
unteers have given a splenuId account
of themselves. They represent, un-
doubtedly, the pick of our fighting
material which remained over from
the regular army. Scarcely a man
amongst them had smelt powder;
probably very few had been out of
England before in their lives. And
yet war breaks out 5000 miles away
and you find men tumbhng over each
other in their eagerness to get to the
front! That shows the national love
of soldering. You could never OBJ
tain such results oy conscription
There is not another nation in the
world in which you can find a quarter
of million private citizens following
the military profession in their leis-
ure hours for the sheer love of the
thing. Judging by past results, and
taking into consideration the increase
in the population during the past few
years, should say that fully 100000
men would come forward il there were
any real danger of invasion and the
country called for vo unteers."
