LIT is estimated that 100000 cases Of
canned goods were destroyed in1the BAL
timore firo, ard 1t Is now Il question
how the authorities will be able to rid the
city Of ali that decaying matter before
the weather gets warm. Most Of 1T IS
buried beneath broken walls aud charrcd
timbcrs, and cannot be easily reached

X 1 THE pay OF n Japanese soldier Is about
isxty-scven cents q month" Evidently
he Is not fighting for the money that Is
I'm IT, And yet no Is receiving about
MS much as the Confederate soldier did
In the last years Of the war, when Con-
federate moncyahad been enormously de-
precintod below tho gold standard The
probability however, is that the Jap can.
buy about as much with his sixty-sevcr
cents a month as the Confederate was
able to buy with his s11 n month.

issue Of tho fight for control Of tho
Democratic organizations, Of New York
State between David Bennett ELL and
Charles II, Murphy With this as the sole
issue Of tho fight Mr.. Murphy IS con-
fident that he will be able to control the
required number of delegates at the state
convention In Albany on April 18th. n
Il IA SO says tho Now York Herald OF yes
terday. 1T looks like many Democrats
are determined that Mr.. Cleveland shall
not retire from the race.

The United States navy has only IS
torpedo boats, while Japan has 1ol, italy
100, Germany 14o Russia 300, England
2255, and Franco 3GS. .i5t
SO far as we have been able to lcarr,
the Confederate government holds the
record among governments for the
greatest. amount of damage done an
enemy by means of torpedoes.

There have been heavy rains of late
in many parts of the country. Virginla's
turn came yesterday. Now we may ex-
pect the. streams to rise and the usual
spring overflows to follow. So fnrzas
Richmond Is concerned, the washing off
that It's streets and alleys had yesterday
was timely; was much needed, iEdeed
Elnira, Ny. is unlucky TO have had
two Of her theatres destroyed BY fire In
