DESTROYERS OF
CERYERA'S FLEET
The President Will Again Recommend
to Congress That They be Suit
abIy Rewarded.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-The Presi-.
dent has again taken up the question or
rewarding the naval officers who partici-
pated In the destruction OF Cervera's
fleet off Santiago. and his final conclC-
sions will be embodied in recommends
tons to Congress, either III the form Of
a renewal of the advancement of Rear
Admiral Sampson and the officers under
him by numbers, with perhaps some
notifications, the scheme which the Sen
ate refused to ratify last spring, OF ac-
cortiing to some other method.
The Secretary OF the Navy, in his re-
port, recommended as an alternative pro-
vision legislation on the line of ths bill
introduced last spring. which provides
for three classes OF medals, one for
conspicuous conduct in war. one for ex-
traordinary heroisn and one for general
meritorious service. the first 70 carry with
it per centage of Increase of pay. based
upon the rank of the recipient and CAL
culate1 to take the place OF the Increase,
which would be the result of promotion
were that form OF. reward continued.
THANKS OF CONGRESS.
Either method would contemplate in
addition the thanks Of Congress TO the
commaEder-in-chief of the North At
lantlc squadron and the officers and men
under his command, as they were given
to the commander-in-chief OF the Asia
tic squadron and the officers and men
under his command.
There has also been suggestion Of the
creation OF the grade of Vice-Adu;ral
for the benefit OF Rear-Admirals Samp-
son ard Schiey. AS result of the Sanp-
son-Schley controversy the reward OF all
the subordinate officers in the North At
lantic squadron has been blocked up 10
this time, and 1t is the urgent desire OF
both the President and Secretary Long
that justice be done them, and they OBJ
tain the rewards which they have earned.
Preliminary to decision upon his
course &of action the President and Sec
efetary Long to-day had consultations
with eight OF the Santiago captains at
the White House.

H7-clx Rain.

The first case Of black rain which
comes under review occurred Mt Gra-
Jamestown and the surrounding dis
trict in August, 1888. and 1t extended
over an area of no less than 800 square
miles, says Chambers Journal. Since
then there have happened sevcrdl
showers of similar description. but
less pronounced In their sable chnrac-
ter. Other showers of black rain have
was felt over an area of 400 square
miles.
No one seems to have mlcroscopicnlly
examined the water which fell at Gra-
hamstown, but il was noted that the
liquid gradually cleared when placed
in suitable vessel, and black pre-
cipitate fell from it. In the latter cases
referred TO the deposit has been care
fully examined and was found TO con-
sist of microscopic organisms, which
averaged about the twelve thousand
five hundfedth part OF an inch in
length, and which We're identified with
the same fungoid organisms that are

which they infest and subsequently
for smut, mildew and rust in wheat

The writer sums UP his remarks

The History of Grip.

The history OF grip" or influenza,
can only be traced back, with any GER
tainty, for 800 years. Perhaps its home
Is in Russia. 1t retains certain broad
characteristics which make IT recog-
nizable even under such odd names as
the gentle correction" and the new
delight" A curious description Of 1t
under the name of "coqueluche" is
found in the diary Of Pierre de LES
toile In the time Of Henry III of
France, as follows:
"The coqueluchc at Paris, year 1880.
From the Cd day to the Sth day of
June there fell sick at Paris 10000
persons Of an illness having the form
Of a rheum or catarrh, which they call
the 'coqueluche.' This illness selzes
you with pain In the head, stomach
and loins and lassitude throughout
the body, and 1t prosecuted the whole
kingdom OF France while the year last
ed, so that once having come hardly
anybody in town or village or house
escaped.
"The best remedy the doctors found
was TO make the sick abstain from
wine. TO some they ordered bleeding
and rhubarb, for others cassla, and
finally they found 1t best to keep the
sick in bed and allow them little to eat
and drink. They say at Pnris that OF
this .coqueluche' there were dead a,
Rome, in less than three months, more
than 10000 persons"

the head and arms OF his fellow beings

Mr., Bowser kiss and ran up stairs as
II TO hide her coyness. He was calling
