TARDY TRANSPORTS SAFE.
The LawtOn and the Gnronne De-
layed by storm and sickness.

| SAN FRANCISCO. April 1.-THE Occi-
dental and Oriental steamship Doric ar
rived today from China. bringing the well
| come news of the safety of the overdue
| transports Garonne and Lawton She was
followed few hours later by the | awton.
Both vessels had had smallpox aboard
| The Doric was Guaranteed for several
| hours and the Lawton was tied up for the
| night. no communication being allowed
with her. The Doric brought only one pas
senger of distinction. Gen Leonirde DAT
tamanoff. late chief of staff of the Rus
sian forces in Manchuria
The Garonne. having on board the
Twenty-sixth infantry, put into Honolulu
on April s, for coal. After leaving Maya
saki to proceed to San Francisco by the
northern route she encountered extreme
ly severe weather and heavy seas in lati-
tude "A, and was obliged to lie to for
several hours. In buffeting this storm
she exhausted her coal supply to such an
extent that it was necessary to replenish
it at Honolulu.
The Lawton arrived at Honolulu April
:, with two cases of smallpox aboard. She
was not allowed to come to the wharf.
but was guaranteed in the harbor and
the two patients removed to Quarantine
Island. She was coaled by lighters and no
communication was allowed with the
shore. The patients were a commissioned
officer and a Government surgeon. The
disease is supposed to have been con-
tracted at Manila.
Lieutenant Courtney was left at Maya
saki on account of Illness and since the
appearance of the cases on the steamer
en- route, it is thought Courtney may have
had the same disease.
The Lawton brings twenty-seven officers
and eSS men of the Thirty-ninth Infantry.
Up to the time the Doric left Honolulu
the transport Rosecrans, due at that port,
had not appeared.
The anxiety of the War Department Of
fcials over the non-arrival at San Fran
cisco of the overdue transport Garonne
was relieved late yesterday BY telegraph
ic report from Major Long, depot quarter
master at San Francisco. that the steam
ship Doric. which arrived there Yesterday.
had left the Garonne coaling at Honolulu
April 10. The Garonne left Manila on
March 9, and was due at San Francisco
April 8. She carries the Twenty-sixth Vol
unteer Infantry, which was organized AT
England. Major Long said that the
Garonne had run short of coal and had
gone out of her way 1.500 miles to Homo
lulu to replensh her bunkers.
Major Long said also that the Doric re-
ported that the transport Lawton, with re-
turning volunteers. had left Honolulu
three days in advance of the Doric with
three cases. of smallpox on board he ex-
pressed the intention to fumigate the Law
ton on her arrival and send her back to
Manila Immediately.
The despatch contained the additional in
formation that nothing had been heard by
the Doric of the transport Rosecrans,
which is three or four days behind her
schedule time of arrival at San Francisco.

White Lies.

One would hardly dare to ask a
friend to dine in SO many words. says
a writer in The Spectator, if it were
not permissible for him to make the
false reply that he was sorry he was
engaged and could not come.
Ordinary social intercourse. instead
of becoming more direct. would have
to be carried on by an elaborate sys-
tenn of hints; otherwise society would
become, metaphorically speaking, a
bear garden in which sensitive persons
would be battered to death. 1t would
be impossible to get used to being told

bore me-" or II could come quite east
iy, but do not care to identify myself

Neither could we improve matters by
reversing the ordinary procedure and
allowing the guests to invite them
selves.
The rebuff of being refused hospitali-
ty would be almost unbearable.

Phe Young Of the Sea Devil.

You may find in the sea devil a curl
Gus illustration Of natures system for
adjusting reproduction. The cod lays
several hundred thousand eggs at a
spawning because nearly all of them
must necessarily be lost while floating
on the waves and those which hatch
are mostly devoured. But the sea devil,
which produces but single young one
at time, retains the latter in it's belly
until the infant creature is from four
to six feet in length, SO that when born
it is able to take care Of itself and is in
no danger Of being destroyed.

An Odd Nest.

A correspondent Of Cassell's Maya
zine records curious freak on the
part Of some wasps in Gloucester, Eng
land.
The wasps were noticed going in and
out of a lock which secured a work
shop door. The owner of the shop had
the lock removed to satisfy his curiosi-
ty about the doings of the busy work
ers. He found nest inside. The cells
were made of mud and were full Of
larvae There were several dead wasps
inside the lock.
AS the lock was in almost daily use
the wasps could not have had a very
peaceful home.

Varicocele is caused by

The veins gradually become
swollen. The diseased con-
dition causes relaxation, then
a dragging sensation and dull
ache is noticed. The vital
powers begin to fail and the
strength and pleasure of life
is destroyed.

4 PLEA FOR CORNELL.

The appeal made by President Schurman
through the New-York alumni of Cornell Uni
versity whom he addressed in this city on
Saturday evening was persuasive and should
be effective. II was. in word. the assertion,
in its most convincing form, Of the principle
that the wealth Of philanthropists can be more
wisely and benefcially expended in meeting
the educational demands of the twentieth cen
tury by gifts 10 existing institutions of learn
ing already well organized and endowed. than
in founding new ones. He showed how much
more would be accomplished in that manner by
every dollar expended, and persuasively pre-
sented the claims of Cornell as the recipient of
such wise bounty.
Some Of the figures mentioned by President
Schurman are striking. They illustrate the
wonderful strides that have been taken in the
last twenty years by the chief American uni
yersities. They also show that the demands
upon the educational facilities of such modern
institutions more than keep pace with their
increasing resources and that their managers
and financial officers have constant difficulty
IN making the means at hand meet the
growing needs. At first blush il would seem
that university that received its charter only
about thirty-fve years ago, and which to-day
holds endowment funds and other property ex-
eeeding 100000 in value. ought TO be able 10
meet all the claims that could be made legit-
mately upon IT'S treasury without presenting
outside appeals. Such certainly would have
been the case quarter of century ago. But
the change in conditions is remarkable The
number of students receiving instruction at
Cornell in all departments has increased from
FIVE or six hundred in 1875 TO more than three
thousand at the present time. and is growing at
the rate Of more than two hundred year The
corps Of instructors is now considerably more
than three hundred Though buildings and
laboratories and other educational appliances
have multiplied on the Cornell campus all of
these facilities are taxed beyond their normal
use. This also puts additional burdens upon the
shoulders OF the members of the faculty
President Schurman mentions among the cry
ing needs OF Cornell at the present time the
construction Of new buildings for the schools of
physics and languages. and also of dormirories
Ii is, OF course. natural that the head of each of
the principal universities should regard his
particular institution as most deserving OF aid
and of the bounty Of generous minded donors
But every such appeal this by President
Sehurman. like that recently made by President
Low for Columbia, tends 10 keep the great
universities in closer touch with those portions

ELEcTING 4 PRESIDENT.
