REDUCTION DENIED.

 ate Against American OH.
 Rome, Dec. 4-The report that the Minister of Finance would today de- clare reduction on petroleum because of the impossibility of reaching an agreement with Russia on this sub ject due to the antagontsm Of America. is officially denied.
 The Italian duty on petroleum is S9.60 on every one hundred kilograms, which Is eluivaicn- to I2S h,ies tf Russian petroleum, while American re- troIeum, being of a better quality is equal to l26 l.: litres for every IC0 kilograms, resulting in the AneTican exporter getting Chree lit'rS and l half over ais Russian competitor.
 Russia asked to have two standards of appraisal permitting exporters to have the choice of being taxed by weight or volume. Italy, on the other hand. proposed to establish standal of measurement makiug 125 litres equal to eleven Kilograms. This would mean loss for the United States exporters in duty on one a0d a half litres on every one hun drel kilograms. This loss is cOnsid- erable in view of the fact that the United States imports into Italy 50,- 900 tons of petroleum yearly. repre- sentlng two-thirds of the whole con- sumption.

Run ! Water Supply.

When such great sums OF money are
being expended by city governments
that the inhabitants OF towns may
have sanitary water supply, It seems
strange that the supply in rural towns
should receive little or no attention.
This latter population may seem rel
atiyely insignificant, but according to
the last census 1t comprises about 49,
100000 souls This means that 49,
100000 people are drinking the water
most available, without thought of
its sanitary condition. These various
sources OF supply whet er wells,
springs or small streams, are similarly
unreliable for furnishing drinking wa
ter. The statistics OF mort .lity In the
country are very indefni t, but even
these show that the rural population is
not as free from Illness as it should be.
And though everywhere the rural
death rate Is lower than the urban
death rate, yet the lowering in the
country has not been as great as in
the city. An examination OF typhoid
statistics shows that the death rate OF
other diseases is generally lower in
the country than in the city, but the
prevalence OF typhoid is almost equal
10 If not greater in the rural districts
than In the cities Several instances
have been reported which show the
rural typhoid rate to be ten times
greater than the urban rate for the
same district. To partiyuarize. GER
tain district in central Pennsylvania
proves this fact. II is made up Of
rural population with 100 inhabitants
to the square mile. 1t is region Of
fine farms, Wild mountains and woods,
country residences and picnic groves
And in this valley there has been as
much typhoid fever as in the city OF
Philadelphia Sad as this condition is,
there seems 10 be no remedy for it,
The sources Of city water supply are
few, and the city government easily
controls the conditions affecting IT,
But what can be done when tle
sources of supply are numbered by the
thousands. mint OF money and an
army Of chemists would not be suf-
ticient to give the same care TO the
country supply that is given ~ that Of

to say that Stonewall Jacksons old

survivor among horses of the rebel

fessor OF military tactics at the Iowa
state agricultural college, has with
him the horse he rode during the re-
bellion in the First Maryland confed
crate cavalry, wherein he served as
captain. The horse is said to be
thoroughbred He is a dark brown,

health and as fat and sleek as a colt.
The captain rides him at all the state

seems to enjoy the excitement. for he

fight begins

Wild rumors from France recently
turned the eyes Of the world toward
that country, and breathlessly we
awaited what May Day might bring
forth-the day once given over to
merry frolic and dance; now becoming
associated with the demonstrations
OF labor rather than play The ru-
mors declared that the threatened
demonstration was something more
than sign Of labor agitation, though
this In itself promised to be OF such
proportions as to assume most seri-
GUS character. We were assured the
labor element was simply being
worked by the Bonapartists, who, az
ter troubles were stirred up, would
step in ard reap the benefits. And We
listened to farther startling disco-
sures, that Catholics and even Royal
lists were now siding with the Bona
partists; the former because Of the aC-
tion taken by the republic in divorcng
church and state, the latter because
they rather have throne with a
Bonaparte thereon than tnroneless
republic.
May Day came with some riotng
and resulting violence. but happily
passed without realization Of the dire
forebodings, But the expressions Of
discomfort with existing conditions
lead the reader to contemplation Of
the stability Of the French republic.
