Sensational Speech Before French
Senate.
Explains Details of His
Plan.
Asks Government To Be Ready
to Make the Move.

Paris, December 4.-General Mercier
caused deep sen sation in the 5 enate TO-
DAY during the dekats on the naval bill
by pointing out the ease by which Eng
land could be invaded. He demanded
that the government Introduce into the
plans for the mobilization of the army,
the navy methods for the rapid embarka-
ton and debarkation OF an expeditionary
corps. The president. nj. FalIlerss intsr-
vened, declaring that such proposals were
out OF order.
General Msrcier said: ''In view Of the
possibility OF war with Great Britain the
use of the army Is not sufficiently taken
into account. The times are not the
same as they were hundred years ago.
Steam, the navy, the telegraph and the
railroad have rendered the problem OF the
invasion OF England much easier of solu-
tion. Moreover, England herself Is no
longer the same. The Transvaal war has
shown that the British army, although
brave, is not equal to the task whion
England expected 1t TO psrform. The
British navy Ia powerful but it has many
coasts to defend. France. therefore, is
numerically EngIand's equal at certain
points and Ia even her superior in the In
struments of destruction. History fur
nishes many instances of mutiny in the
English navy at the moment OF battle. A
landing In England is not Therefore, be-
yond realization.
trhis is not only my opinion, but that
also Of high naval officers. The British
premier recently expressed Significant
fears; and If the principle OF landing is
admitted the pra sical means Of execution
may be discussed.
al venture to think that the work
prepared while. commanding an army
corps could serve as a basis for such a
project, which would not be expensive.
At this point protests were raised and
NJ. FaIlieres asked General Mercler not
to enter into details of the scheme.
General Mercier replied that the scheme
could be "Held over the head OF England
like the sword Of Damoclee," and he
proposed a resolution that this Senate
should invite the government to complete
immediate preparations for the mobilizs-
ton of the army and navy by preparing
everything necessary to embark and dis
embark as rapidly as possible an expedi-
tionary corps.
Protests were raised from various
benches, and NJ De Lassan, minister OF
marine followed the Presidents ruling
that the motion was out OF order In the
present debate by declaring amid cheers
that the government could not possibly
accept 1t,

The Prince of wales Income.

The truth is that from the moment Of
his birth the Prince of Wales has been
splendidly rich. He was born, as the
Irishman would say, with 100000 year
in his rocket, and from that day to this
the duchy of Cornwall has yielded him
that magnificent sum. At % the prince
married, and parliament gave him MARI
borough House and wedding present OF
100000 year. That, too, has come to
him regularly since 1868, year in and
year out. In 1889. when the princes
family ran away with his money, parlia-
nent once more came to his aid and near
Iy doubled the grant he had received since
1868. From 1889 the prince has been re-
Heved of the anxieties of father for the
financial welfare of his children by a
special grant Of $4,000 year. which
comes to him in quarterly installments OF
10000. SO that the public income of the
prince is f136,000 year That is what
il is worth to be Prince Of Wales.-Tem-

tFrom the Chicago Record


Washington, November s0-Last night,
at meeting of the National Biological
Society, DIR. q. W. Stiles of tie Depart
ment OF Agriculture read a paper ad-
vancing the theory that mosquitoes were
entirely responsible for the disease we
call malaria, and that without mosqui-
toes there would be no such disease.
"From medical, biological and
economic standpoint malaria Is one Of
the most Important diseases OF man."
said DIR. Stiles this morning. 1.-The num-
Der Of deaths annually from this disease
throughout the world must be reckoned
In hundreds of thousands. Italy alone
averaging about i5. 600 year while the
number of sufferers must be counted by
millions. Its economic Importance may
be appreciated when we take into ao-
count not only the deaths, but the time
lost by those who are afflicted. From a
military standpoint it is also important.
since In some localities 40 or 30 per cent.
OF the troops suffer with malaria every
year.
"The cause OF the disease WAS dis
covered in Africa by Dr. Laveran. a
French surgeon, twenty years ago. He
