London, April 14.-Easter eggs this
season are decorated with pictures of
Gen. Lord Roberts and Union Jacks
with shamrocks and Irish harps inter-
woven on their grounds. Political affairs
are in a dormant state and war and
the spirit Of Imperialism are in the
ascendant. Had any one dared to
prophesy at this time last year that
these things would have come about
within twelve month, he would have
been laughed to scorn. A spirit of re-
Jolcing pervades the country, which is
not all justified by the progress of Brit
ISM arms in South Africa Neverthe-
less England needs an outlet for the en-
thusiasm over past victories for the
escape of the Prince of Wales and for
the prosperous times that have benefit
ed the country. So it is small wonder
that an unprecedented number of ex-
cursionlsts are leaving London over

ARMY COMMISSIONS
For Contract Surgeons Provided For
in a Bill

Washington, April 1.-THE secretary
of war has forw arded to congress with
his approval the draft of bill pre-
pared by Surgeon General SternDerg,
providing for the appointment Of con-
tract surgeons who have rendered one
years faithful and satisfactory service
in the army of the United States, as as
sistant surgeons of volunteers, with the
rank of first lieutenant. The bill pro-
videS for such appointments after the
usual examination as to physical and
professional qualifications, and the OH
GERS so commissioned are to be subject
to honorable discharge whenever their
services are no longer required The bill
also provides for the promotion OF such
assistant surgeons to the rank of cap
tain after two years faithful ana SaLlS-
factory service
Gen. tSternberg has written a letter to

DREADFUL PICTURE,

One of the most hopeless features of
the whole affair is contained IN the
statement of the special commissioner at
Simla, who writes:
Ten times the whole relief could be laid
out in n single district without fully re-
ueving its distress. All we can hope for
is a succession of good years to put the
people on their feet again
The British districts are reported to be
so far escaping the large starvation and
mortality that mark the native States.
But there their condition is not enviabie.
is evderrt from the following description
sent by a. Bombay correspondent or the
scene ait Ahnedabad, city in the preSi-
dency of Bombay:
in an open space upwards OF 200 were
seated. old and young, being famine per-
sonified The smell arising from their
filthy rags was sickentng. and had at
tra,cted nyriads of flies Some, especially
the old men, were honey framed. while a

like arms and legs. were more dreadtui
still.
