TEnglands wenty-Eight Administrations.
The present conservative govern
ment of Great Britain celebrated its
fifth birthday on July g. England has
had total of twenty-eight admins
trations in this century. eight of
which were longer than the present
one. The longest was that OF Lord
Liverpool, which lasted from 1879 to
1927, a period of fourteen years and
319 days. Lord Salisbury's second ad-
ministration endured for six years
and fifteen days, in which time there
were six changes in its composition.
The remarkable thing about the pres
ent one is that there has not been
single change, despite the fact that 1t
has nineteen members.

DYING BY THOUSANDS.
EpidsnalO of Smallpox Among Negroes In
the South, Especially Mississippi, Has
Reached an Alarming Stage.

Jackson, Miss, March 5.-Smallpox
conditions in southern states have be-
come SO menacing that the health au-
thorities have called upon the state
legislatures for assistance and a gen
eral discussion is in progress with
view to uniform attack on the disease.
The negroes throughout the south
are dying by the thousands and the
disease is growing in malignity. So
widespread has the epidemic become
in Mississippi that the Legislature,
now in session here, passed a compuI-
sorry vaccination law with an emer-
gency clause, and in adjoining states
similar laws are being urged.

10 RELIEVE PORTO RICO.
President AEoKinley Urges Congress to
Give the Island All Moneys from
customs Eeeaspss.

Washington, March 3.-The presi-
dent sent message to congress Friday
recommending the appropriation of
the moneys which have been received
through the customs from Porto Rico
since the United States took posses
sion, under the treaty. to be used
for general purposes for the relief
of the Porto Ricans.
To relieve the great distress in
Porto Rico. caused by the hurricane,
Secretary Root, by direction of the
president, has authorized the use of
81. 225,o00 remaining from the emer-
gency war fund. This authorization
was made about ten days ago as the
result of a special report from Gen.
Davis showing the starving condition
of natives. The matter has been kept
very quiet, because in the absence of
a specific appropriation for this pur-
pose the authorities feared criticism
from those not familiar with the true
state OF affairs in Porto Rico. Gen.
Davis has been directed to utilize the
money in clearing up the plantations,
so that the farmers may proceed with
the raising of crops. This will enable
many natives to go to work at once,
and thereby put sufficient money in
circulation to temporarily relieve ex-
listing suffering.

IT IS AN URGENCY VISIT.
Secretary Roots Hurried Trip tie Cuba Was
Ia Response TO Request from Gov.
Gen. wood at Havana.

Washington, March Secretary
Root and party left Washington Fri
day for a flying trip to Cuba. The
party had special car over the South
ern railroad. 1t is expected that the
trip will occupy about two weeks, al
lowing for a weeks tour around the
island of Cuba. The army transport
Sedgwick is on her way to Tampa and
the party will embark on her for
Havana. It is gathered from rather
urgent communications that have been
received here from Havana that not
withstanding the apparent serenity of
conditions in Havana and Cuba gener-
ally, Gen. Wood has reason for grave
apprehension as to the future; not
because of the possibility of out
breaks, but rather owing to the ex-
IRENE gravity of important questions
that are pressing from all sides for
immediate decision.

TO COIN THE SILVER.
Act to Be Made into Coins at the Rate
OF S4,OOO,OOOa Month.

New York, March st is the in
tention of the treasury department,
as soon as the pending financial bill
becomes law, to expedite as fast as
possible the coinage of the silver bull
lion purchased under the Sherman
act still remaining in the treasury.

chased under this act costing SIS, O00,
COS, and represented by that amount
of treasury notes outstanding. The
department has been coming this bull
lion into dollars at the rate of ST, $780,
600 month. The financial bill au-
thorizes the coinage of enough of this
bullion into subsidiary coins to bring
the total subsidiary coinage up to
$1OO,O0O,OOO This will require about
$25,O0O,0G0 in subsidiary coins. In adj
dition to this the department pro-
poses to increase the coinage of sill
yer dollars to 100000 month.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES.
Anonymous Letter Received from MauIla
Which Says That Omcers of the Wrecked
Charleston Were Intoxicated

Washington, March Sensational
charges are contained in an anony-
nous letter which has been received
at the navy department from Manila.
The communication relates to the
wrecking of the Charleston and makes
the serious statement that a number
of officers of the vessel at the time of
the disaster were under the influence
of liquor. The correspondent who
furnishes the information claims to
have verified the allegations by dill
gent inquiry among the officers of the
Charleston. The letter was not placed
on the official files on account of the
peculiar nature of the charges, but it
has been referred to the judge adj
vocate general of the navy with in
structions from Secretary Long that
the matter be Investigated at once.

THIS MAY MEAN PEACE.
President Kruger Has Left Pretoria to
Hold q Conference with President
Steyn, of Orange Free State.

London, March president Kru-
ger is said to have left Pretoria with
the intention of meeting President
Steyn. The place where they will
meet is not mentioned, but is believed
to be somewhere in the Orange Free
State. Those in South Africa who are
conversant with the effect the re-
cent reverses have had on the Beers
express the opinion that the meeting
of the two presidents is preliminary
to a suggestion of negotiations for
peace. But if this is the case, it must
be due to the pressure brought to
bear upon the presidents by the
burghers and Afrikanders in the
British colonies rather than in the
personal inclinations of the presi-
dents, as all the available informa
ton depicts them as being as deter
mined as ever to persist in the war
until the resources of the republics
are much more enfeebled than they
seem to be at present.
