 the reduction to be proportional to the
 denial of the right of suffrage.
 The bill makes it the duty of the
 Secretary of Commerce and Labor to
 ascertain through the census bureau by means of a biennial census the number of such citizens in each State to whom the right to vote is so denied
 or abridged, and to report to the speak

sHARPNEL WORTHLESS.
Flew in Construction Readers Shells of
 No Value.

Mukden. Dec. S.-The Russians have experienced much difficulty with their sharpnel. which should have effectually checked the Japanese attacks during the battle of Shakhe. but failed in many cases.
 Some of the consigments of sharpnel sent to the front appear to have been almost worthless. not from any radical defeat, in the Russian time fuse as that has proved thoroughout the war to be a very satisfactory device, but from poor construction of the shells.
 One instance was particularly noted. When the correspondent was with Philmeneff's battery the Japanese infan- try advanced to attack Russian posi- tion and came under the battery's range A. number of imes. while crossing a tract of broken ground. The battery had the range and sent five shells over the column, all timed to burst above the ranks. But they flew harmlessly overhead and buried themselves in the ground beyond, without exploding. The time fuse wa sset for shorter and shorter intervals with no better re- suits, only one shell in several dozen exploding. The battery officers stamp ed with rage and finally used the sharpnel as solid shot.

The Mammoth and the MOSQUITO

What has come to pass in thousands Of

forever; yet the mosquito and fdy have
never been conquered. 1t is now time
