The two cases of small pox
which were imported in this town
last week by negroes from the up
per part Of the parish, are now
well. The house in which they
were, in the northern suburb of
the town was quarentined by the
town Board of Health, and the
measures necessary to prevent the
spread of the disease were taken.
1t seems, however, that all the
precautions we may take will
hardly keep the disease from COM
ing into the town, for we learn
that the disease, though of a very
mild type, prevails nearly all over
the upper parts of the parish, not
only among the negroes, but
among the families of our best
white people; bat, we have not
heard ola single death caused by
this loathsome disease. We no.
ticed by the pappers that small
pox exist almost all over the
southern states. 1t seems, how
ever, that some measures should
be taken to check the spread of
the disease, mild as it is, and to
stamp it out of the parish.

found that the Chinese Government
has not acted in good faith, Congress
has power TO deal with the matter.
For several years European nations
have been threatening to dismembcr
China, and 1t is not strange that their
ambitious designs should arouse a
feeling of hostility toward foreigners.
That feeling, however, ought not to b.
directed against American citizens, and
will not be If our nation makes II
known that II has no desire to grab
land or to tresDass upon the rights ot
China. Affirm adherence to the AIMEE
lean policy Of justice and fair dealing
will not only set an example to other
nations, but will give our citizens re-
siding in China the best promise Of Sc

chants to have it known that they seek
trade only when trade is mutually al
vantageous, and it will be better for
our missionaries to have 1t known THAI
they are preaching the gospel Of love
and are not the forerunners of fleets

LAST DAY OF THE

Social Diversion Will Continue Until Eve of Good Friday.
AMERICAN WOMEN WEARY
Senor Verona Has Presented Report of Finance Commission to General Wood With Reference to
 Municipal Taxation.


 Havana, March 1s.-Today was the last day of the carnival, so far as wearing masks and throwing flowers and confetti are concerned, but social diversion will con- finue in full force until the eve of Good Friday.
 Havana society leaders say they don't recall a season so lively as this. There have been balls, picnics, reviews, dinners, teas, receptions and the like every day and night since Lent began. Many people who have desired to give entertainments have had to postpone them because so many other similar affairs had been fixed for the dates they selected
 Some of the American ladies say they are completely worn out with the continuous round of gayety. Even Sundays instead of bringing rest, usually meant larger enter tainments than those of any other day.
 St. Patriek's day was celebrated by a great variety of entertainments, and par ticularly by a dinner given to fifty-four persons by General O'Brien, the guests be- ing the principal members of American and Cuban society.
 Senor Varona, secretary of finance, has presented to General Wood the report of the finance commission, with reference to the system of municipal taxation. The commission consider that, owing to the con- dition of the island the existing taxes can not be raised

MYTHICAL GOLD MINE
Two Bars of Metal Examined and Prov
 ed to be Fakes

- Chicago, March 1S.-The assaying of six supposed bars of gold that had been placed in trust company vault pending the com pletion of the sale of mine from which the gold was supposed to have come was completed today and showed that the bars were composed of copper, zinc and other metals without a trace of gold. The bars were left with the trust company by two men giving their names as R. G. Miller and William Schroeder, who published an ad- vertisement in a London paper offering to sell a gold mine for $50 900, and induced Sir Frederick Vigor and T. D. G. Rayton, of England, to come to the United States to close the deal.
 The Englishmen say they had borings taken from the bars and analysis showed the borings contained 76 per cent. gold. One of the Englishmen went with one of the alleged gold mine owners to California to see the mine but says the alleged owner disappeared suddenly one day, the other supposed owner also disappearing from Chicago This turn in affairs was precipi- ta ted by the demand of the Englishmen that their travelling expenses be paid.
 The Englishmen had trust company ap- pointed receiver for the six bars of sup posed gold and the anaylsis which they ordered made will be sent to them in Eng land. They sailed from New York Sunday

THE AGRARIANS ARE HURT

Berlin, March 18-The so-called Hex heinze" whose third reading was not fin- ished lost evening, will not be taken up until the rechstag majority has changed the rules of procedure requiring the fifty members who move any resolution to re- mann in the house during the vote upon it. thus rendering impossible tne sort of obstruction that was practiced last week.
 The Easter adjournment will come with the beginning of April The Pope's wish, expressed to the centrist leaders, that they should vote for the naval augmentation bill has not had the expected result. The miscarriage thus far of the governments s meat inspection bill is delaying the third reading until after Easter. The govern ment meanwhile hopes to effect a compro- mdse The situation is largely due to the treacherous activity of Count PosadoWsky- Wehner. Against Prince Won Hohenlohe's definite instructions, and also against previous agreement into which all the in- sbructions and also against a previous agreement into which all the members of the cabinet entered, Count Posadowsky- Wehner raised false hopes among the agrarians and pledged them his word that the extreme form of the bill, as the second reading fixed it. would be acceptable to the bundesrath
 Consequently the agrarians feel That they have been uEiaLrly treated and the relations between Prince Won Hohenlche and the count are very much strained. Possibly, Baron Won Tfielmann, who is thoroughly in accord with the chancellor, Will soon succeed the imperial secretary of state for the interior
 Today's papers vigorously comment upon yesterdays proceedings in the reichstag which for vtuperaton, noise and un- scrupulous oGostruc ton, are without paral- 4lel in the history of that body The fact is also criticised that the chancellor's son, Prince Alexander, spoke in vigorous con- demnation of the entire "lexheinz as proposed by the government.
