Gen. Otis latest report Of casualties

twice as many American soldiers have
recently been drowned In the Luzon
rivers as fell before the bullets of the
enemy. A course OF swimming in

cost the war department practically
nothing and would by this time have

The Heir Apparent to the Russian
Throne May Soon Wed.

The rumor comes from England that
the Grand Duke Michael, heir to the
car of Russia. viii shortly plight his
troth to the charming little grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, the Prin-
cess Margaret of Connaught
AS seen by European eyes this be-
trothal is one of the most important.
II not the most important, which is
likely to take place in years among
the imperial and royal families. And
this importance lies in the fact that 1t
is hoped thereby TO provide for the flu
ture succession to the throne of Rus
STA.
Nicholas H.. the present ruler of
Russia, has three daughters, but no
sons, and as the Russian imperial fam
lily law excludes women from the
throne. it seems very probable now
that the succession will not fall to the
lot OF descendant of the reigning
monarch
1t was only last summer that Mi
ehael became czarewitch, an honor
which fell to him upon the death OF
his brother, the Grand Duke George,
who died of consumption.
The Princess Margaret OF Connaught
is the oldest daughter of the duke OF
Connaught, the third son of Victoria,
queen of England. She is really a very
pretty child, and il is not too much to
say that she is the most attractive Of
the queens granddaughters. Princess
Margaret was born in January. 1882,
and is Just is years old this month.
IN royal families it has come to be
considered that from Is to 20 is
very reasonable age for a princess to
be married, since through a marriage
thus early she learns to accommodate
herself 10 those peculiar conditions I'M
der which queen must live.
The girl princess is of slight, grace
full figure, has hazel eyes, brown hair,
and features extremely pleasant and
refined Albeit her nose is slightly re-
trousse. this fact does not retract from
her one bit-rather adds a dash of
piquancy to her pretty features, writes
Mary l.. Stevens in the Boston Home
Magazine. II was only during the
present year that Margaret put on her
first long dress-a creation which has
been described by one writer as a gar
ment that would not excite the envy Of
American heiresses.
The father of the princess. the duke
of Connaught, is one of the generals
in the English army. The duke is one
of the most popular of the queens sons
and loyal, patriotic Briton to the
core. Indeed. so true is this that he
absolutely refused a short time ago to
accept the heirship to the duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. sovereign state
in Germany, because the acceptance
would compel him to leave the English
army and the country he delights in
calling home"
To indulge in generalities, 1t is
claimed in some quarters that every
unmarried princess in Europe would
be envious IL the Grand Duke Michael
should win the affections of the little
English girl, scarce yet out of short
dresses. AS czarina she would come

health was exceedingly poor. He died
in the prime of life from complica-
ton OF diseases, which seem to have
been transmitted in some form to each
OF his children except the Grand Duke
Michael.

we make the following extract:
after themselves disowning and

j,rity Of members of the Constltu-
tional Convention yesterday passed
that off nsive section, off .nsive to
Democracy, to political honesty and
to AmericanIsm; and the Conven-
ton too, has passed this offensive
section in face of the fact That the
ablest Democrats in the United
States Senate have declared it TO be
unconstitutional. Senators Gallery
and McEoery have protested against
its passage, and have declared that
it contravenes the Federal Constitu-
ton. In this opinion they are joined
by such stalwart Democrats and un-
compromising States rights Senators
as Turpie, of Indiana; Lindsey, of
Kentucky; Vest, of Missouri; Berry,
of Arkansas; Walthall, of MISSISSIPPI
pi; Turley, of Tennessee; Pettres, of
ALBANIA, and McLaurln, Of South
Carolina. aud many members of the
House of Representatives.
With the opinion of these Senators
that the ''grandfather clause is un-
constitutional, it should cause al
men who before voting, take the
oath to support the Constitution oil
the United States to vote against the
Infamous measure, which was simp
Iy triumph of politicians" in oul
legislature that forced its adoption
and submission to the people.

cupied by Mr.. f. l.. Fleming a tobacco
buypr for the storage OF bis leaf stock.
The building was entirely destroyed.
IL WAS the property OF Julius Lewis
and Company and it Is understood
that it was insured. Other buildings
in the neighborhOod caught from the
intense heat. There was residence
on the opposite corner belong 10 Mr..
J. Z. POgue. This building while not
entirely consumed is practically in
ruins. The stable of DIR. j. A. Sexton
was completely burned down and a
small cottage on adjouring lot was al
so badly burned. Other buildings
near by were scOrGched. At one time
the Carrollton hotel was threatened as
WAS also the splendid residence OF Mr..
J. e. Pogue, but the splendid work Of
the Raleigh fire department saved
them without any damage. The dam
age would not have been as great If
the water works pressure had not been
so weak. II was some time before the
fire companies could get stream on
the buildings OF any force. I he total
loss is estimated at s25 600 with $2l 600
