LONDON, Nov. 1&-Mr. and AIRS. An
drew Carnegie returned to London with
the intention of sailing tomorrow for the
United States, but they have been obliged
TO abandon the voyage for the present be-
cause Mr.. Carnegie is indisposed.
The whole family were affected by some
thing they ate on the continent. Mrs.
Carnegie and her daughter have quite re-
covered. The physicians. however, think
IL would be imprudent for Mr.. Carnegie
10 start yet, although he has practically
recovered from his illness. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carnegie expect to sail for New York
next week.
The Carnegies were at caux. switzer-.
land, when they wsre served with food
which was IN SHINE way contaminated.
The ili-enect seemed to promise to pass
on. and had done so in the cases of Mrs.
Carnegie and her daughter by Sunday
when the party arrived I'm London. Mr..
Carnegie however, felt worse yesterday
evening and sumomned a physician. who
was able to assure him that the poisoning
was not of a serious character and that
he would be up again in a day or two.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 19.-The min

ing preparation for a vigorous fight
against the election of Apostle Reed
Smoot to the United States senate, and
failing in this, to carry the fight against

DELLA FROM IRELAND
lakes LONG SLEEP

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Delia Mulligan,
who came from Ireland in october and Sc
cured work as a servant here, has lain in
a state of coma at the ]. Hood Wright
hospital for the past % days.
Her case is almost as puzzling and in
teresting to the doctors as that of Nellie
Corcoran, who died after her three weeks
trance in st. Vincents hospital. Only twice
in the whole period has the girl spoken
and then it was to mutter a few words
which showed that she was delirious.
The girl was taken to the hospital suf-
fering from partial asphyxiation due to
blowing out the gas. The usual means of
resuscitation were used. The only effect
was to restore the patients appetite. Her
pulse and temperature also became nor

sisted the doctors best efforts and they
have given up hope of restoring her to

NO BEAR RUGS FOR
WHITE HOUSE
THIS TRIP

SAIEDES, Miss. Nov. 1s.-This was the
last day Of the presidents hunting ex-
petition in Mississippi. A messenger from
camp this morning reported that the party
got an early start The weather condi-
tons were better today than they have
been on any day OF the hunting. 1t was
cool and cloudy. and the dogs could work
without distress.
The hunters who were trying 20 give the
president a shot are pretty badly discour-
aged. but they were hoping against hope
for better luck today.
The president himself seems less con-
cerned over his I'll fortune than are those
who were instrumental in bringing him
here. He is satisfied that there are bears
in the swamps. and told his friends yes
terday that he wanted to come down here
again and have another hunt with Holt
Collier.
The party viii break camp late this af-
ternoon.

It is generally understood that a
woman's hat is exclusively an article
of ornamentation, but an instance
occurred last week in which the hat
performed function of positive
utility. A woman fell through the
ice while crossing stream near
Baltimore and her broad-brimmed
hat, held firmly to her head by the
hat pin, answered as a buoy and
prevented her from sinking. The
water was 80 feet deep but she
saved herself by working along to
where the ice was strong enough to
bear her weight.

"Troubles never come singly."
Disasters seem to be cumulative
to pile up in a progressive ratio, and
what seems most curious is that
there is likely to be a ''run" of ca
lamities of a similar nature. The
past week it has been fires, of which
there have been a great number,
some huge confagrations that de-
voured an immense amount of prop
erty and destroyed considerable
number of lives. The week before,
murders and suicides were rife. A
week ago last Monday the St. Paul
Pioneer Press published on one
page accounts of eight murders and
one suicide. On other pages of the
paper was the news of still other
murders and suicides, which includ-
ed but part of the crimes that had
been committed on the Sunday be-
fore. For time before this a great
number of mine disasters had sue
ceeded each other with terrible loss
of life.

Russia's Friendship for Us.

The student of American history
will not fail to notice that Russia
has always shown herself to be the
staunch friend of this republic. 1t
matters little to us as to what was
the occasion for this friendly senti-
ment. 1t may have been prompted
by jealousy or hatred of England
the value of it was just as pronounc-
ed to us as if the friendship were
spontaneous and sincere.
We seem to have had recent proof
of this substantial friendship of the
government of the Gar of all the
Russias. Just before the declaration
of war against Spain by this govern
ment, Spain had endeavored to inter
est the other nations Of Europe IN
the question of Intervention. Aus
tria, for family reasons-the queen
regent of Spain being sister of the
Austrian Emperor-had made pro-
posals to the cabinets of the Euro
pean powers to join in. concerted
movement to influence the United
States against the prospective war.
This movement, to secure any action
that could be construed to SAVIOR of a
threatened intervention, was frustra-
ted by Russia, and the details of the
interview between the Spanish and
Russian ministers leading up to this
event are peculiarly interesting to us.
The remark which the Russian min
lister made that peremptorily stop
ped any further negotiations along
the line of Intervention is suggestive,
and the suggestion will meet with a
hearty recognition and generous ac-
ceptation.
When the Spanish minister made
known the step taken by Austria to
Count Muravief, the Russian prime
minister, he said: eff such step is
confined to a simple council, it will
have no result, and if it implies any
thing resembling threat, the result
obtained will be contrary to that de-
Sired" The Russian minister had
correct apprehension of the Ameri-
can situation. We could not have
stated it more accurately. If this
government had determined upon
driving Spain from the western con-
tinent, the threat of intervention
would only have the more strongly
confirmed that determination.

A mild remonstrance is made
against the sending of special am

Edward VII. Our people do not
have much sympathy with the dis
tinctive demonstrations or pageants
of royalty. 1t is understood how
ever that in sending representatives
to England on this occasion we do
SO out Of respect to the nation over
which King Edward is the nominal
ruler. 1t would probably be taken
by the English people as an ofense
if we do not send ambassadors, after
having been invited to do so.

English Language Extends.

No language except the English
is being extended in any appreciate
measure to nationalities other than
those to which it is the mother
tongue. The English language is
supplanting others in many byways.
| Wherever English-speaking people
go in colonies they carry with them
the language, insist upon the right to
use it themselves and commence to
impose it upon the natives.
Here in America within cen
fury oo,ooo,ooo have come to use
this tongue. The great island con
tinent of Australia is being rapidly
peopled by various races, but the
English language dominates. A
great deal Of Africa is accepting the
same language and it is gradually
making its way in India, supplant-
ing the various dialects in that bee
hive of humanity. Of all the news
papers published in the world 68
per cent. are printed in the English
language and two-thirds of all the
letters that pass through the post of
fees in the world are written in En-
glish. This language is by far the
most profuse Of any now, or hereto
fore spoken. In the English Ian
guage as now written-not men
tioning the thousands of colloquial
provincialisms that do not get into
the dictionaries-are about 100000
separate words. This is said to exceed
by 10000 the combined number Of
words in the German, French, Span
ish and Italian languages.

The San Jose Scale.

Orchardists in Stark county, who see
the destruction of their business
threatened by the ravages Of the San
Jose scale, which has been introduced
into this section, view with favor the
bill which has been introduced into the
legislature for the extinction of the
destructive little parasite. The meas.
ure provides for the inspection of ali
orchards and trees in the state by ex-
perts appointed by the agricultural de-
partment. All trees infested or in any
way threatened with the pest are to
be treated or destroyed, as the agents
direct.
Failure to comply with the orders of
the state board of agriculture will make
the offender liable to a fine of from
fifty to one hundred dollars for each
offense. This is severe penalty, but
not too severe when it is considered
that neglect upon the part of some
one individual may mean the destruc-
tion of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of fruit trees for others.
The money that will be appropriated
and expended by the state will be ut
terly lost il every one does not COM
ply with the regulations. If few
trees in each community should be al
lowed to go, it would be but a year
or two until conditions would be as
bad as ever.
The bill not only provides for the
treatment of trees for the San Jose
scale, but for peach yellows, black
knot, pear blight and all other disease
that have made fruit growing so diff
ficult of late years in this section o.

CODE IS GAINING FAVOR.
columbus State Journal.)

The municipal code bill is gaining
strength. The recent decisions of the
supreme court knocking out the Gin
cinnati bond issues have opened the
eyes of the members to the fact that
every local bill passed by the house
would probably meet the same fate IL
1t were carried up to that tribunal. The
Cleveland delegation is especially
wrought up One of the lakeboard
statesmen in speaking of the matter
Wednesday said: 1--WE have been
against the municipal code bill, but II
appears to be the only way ont of our
trouble. There is no doubt that If any
one In Cleveland undertakes to fight
the issue of bonds for parks, baths,
sewers, ETC., which we want, they will
be declared Illegal. There is nothing
else for the court to do in view of its
decisions. We don't like the municipal
code bill, but we may have to accept
it before we are through with our
troubles. Every local bill passed by this
house is at the mercy Of the supreme
court, and the sooner the members un-
derstand this the better it will be for
them"
