conservative speakers had their first say
and they flayed Mr.. Laurier and the
liberals numerically Mr.. Laurier sat
there in a great fur coat, not moving a
muscle. The minute his turn came,
however, he jumped up, threw off his
coat and began to speak. 1t was one of
the finest speeches Of his life, and he
carried the meeting by storm. He spoke
with magnificent vigor for over an hour
and when he was through fell back into

MEASURES AGAINST MALARIA.


The discovery of the seat of malaria
has caused a species Of peaceful revo-
luton in Italy. Those interested in the
matter are determined to rid the coun-
try of the scourge at all costs. Prof.
Cell we'll known deputy and hygien-
list, will present to the chamber a meas
ure of a radical kind which, if it passes,
will revolutionize the conditions of
work In the country in certain large
portions of the peninsula.
The project is to make punishable by
law the neglect of landed proprietors
and all employers Of labor to provide.
in mala~ial districts, every means of
fighting the fever. Another law to be
submitted to parliament will cause
greater opposition and more serious
fighting Prof. Cell and his clique, as
quinine is the chief factor in stamping
out the infection, being the only known
medicine which kills the germs in the
human blood, wish the government to
take the sale Of this drug into it's own
hands, supplying it to the public at
little more than cost price, the aim be-
ing to protect itself against fluctuations
in the price of the raw material. For
instance, hydrochloride of quinine, now
sold at lid. a gram by druggists, and
sulphate of quinine at 10d., under this
system would cost I'd. and 1kd., respec-
lively. There is no need to explain the
enormous gain to the public at large,
some of whom seem to live on the drug.
1t is calculated that the very slight
margin on the sale would average e40,-
900 yearly, which would be devoted to
the determination of malaria. How
ever, against this extremely humane
measure there is a huge array of OBJ
1ections on the part of the powerful
fraternity Of druggists and manufac-
turers of quinine. Very similar propo-
sitions with regard to this medicine
have been made before and have been
invariably defeated, but this time Prof
Cell Is determined, and as he is a
good fighter, one may hope that what is
now only project may soon become a
law.-Rome Correspondence of The
Pail Mall Gazette.

fectively by the Beers at ranges OF
1000 and 5000 yards. 1t Is recorded
that in several instances officers and
men in a moving British column fell
dead, pierced with bullet holes, when
no enemy was to be seen, and no shell
ter sufficient to cover men seemed with
in range of the troops.
Like many Others the United States
army has taken up the subject. A test
of the Cataract company's sights has
been conducted at the armory here.
These tests were eminently satisfac-
tory, the deadly accuracy of the rife
equipped with sights of this description
being perfectly demonstrated. The re-
suit was an order that six rifles be
equipped with these sights at Buffalo.
These weapons have been completed,
and await the disposal of the authori-
ties at the Buffalo factory 1t is said
that the navy department ordered a
small number for a test ftheir efficien-
cy in effectual service upon the battle
ships and cruisers. 1t is surmised that
the army rifles will go to the Philip
pines.
While it is very possible that one or
two of these telescope rifles will be pro-
Vided for each company for emergen-
cies, it is hardly probable that any con-
siderable percentage of the men will be
armed with the weapon. Even in its
present improved form, it is necessarily
q rather cumbersome instrument 1t
would be continually disarranged by
the Yic!sstudes of the service, and, in
fact, would be both too delicate and
too cumbersome to be Of general use.
In the navy the telescope has been used
for years in aiming guns. For this a
large and cumbersome instrument can
be used. 1t is held at the side of the
piece IN a small bracket, so that the
recoil of the gun will not shatter the
instrument This telescope magnifies
from one and one half to three diam
eters The telescope furnished to the
army and navy for service rifles magni-
fles eight diameters. weighs less than
one pound, is impervious to water and
dust. and is not at all affected by the
sharp recoil of the gun. The authori-
ties at the armory are greatly pleased
with it. The field of vision is very
large and free from chromatic aberra-
tons. The illumination is so perfect
that in the night the telescope affords
a much better vision than the naked
eye.
The employment of smokeless powder
In military guns has opened the way
to the adaptation of the telescope to
them. A great advantage gained in
using the telescope in shooting is the
elimination of the Opaque or metallic
forward sight, which Increases the APP

Ject at long ranges The principle of
the rifle telescope is the same as that

the medium of his telescope, equipped

when sighting upon objects at great
distances.-Springffeld Republican.

Bulgaria Answers United States and
Disclaims Responsibility.
Vienna, Dec. 1.-The Bulgarian gov
ernment's reply 10 United States Con-
sui Dickinson's note has been made
public here by the Austro- Hungarian
foreign ministery. 1t was written by
DR.. Daneff, Bulgarian minister of for
eign affairs, and concludes with the
following words:
Il am surprised that you have come
to the conclusion that the United
States will hold Bulgaria responsible
for Miss Stones death. / must regard
it as certain that the using of vic
lence by the brigands can only be at
tributable to your protected negotia
tions. 1t was for you to carry the ne
gotations to successful end. The
Bulgarian government disclaims all re
sponsibility.'
In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent, and the hope is eX
pressed that the United States will
hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss
Stones safety.
Mr.. Dickinson's note was handed tc
Mr.. Daneff three weeks ago. The
Bulgarian cabinet met Nov. II to con
slider the note.

Burlington Stockholders Again Take
No Action.

Burlington, Dec. 3.-The adjourned
meeting of the stockholders of the
new Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railway company scheduled for Mon
day was again adjourned to some flu
ture date. Officers of the new compa.
ny here absolutely deny the report
sent out from Chicago that the new
company has filed a lease of the old
company's lines. 1t would be impos-
sible for such a legal act to be taken
until the new company is permanently
organized and officers elected. This
has not yet been done and there is as
yet no assurance when the thing will
be accomplished. The plan outlined
here is for the stockholders of the
new company to meet some time in
the near future and increase the pres
ent number of directors from five &c
eleven The six additional directors
will then be chosen. These eleven di
rectors will elect the permanent off
GERS of the company. Not until this
is done will legal steps, if any, be TAX
