Turner streets.
The work Of the fire fighters was
centered on a block of warehouses,
owned by the Northern Commercial
company, in order to protect the food
supply of the town, and the result
was still in doubt when the latest

NOTHING NEW.

The thing that hath been shall be, and the thing that is hath been. In other words, there is nothing new un- der the sun. So if this winter is going to be particularly open one around here we needn't be surprised. There have been and will be others. What has happened in New England is told by one of the old inhabitants in Massa- chusetts He says that on January 6, about thirty years ago, the thermome- ter reached 91 above at Plymouth. Bluebtrds sang and butterflies fitted about, Grass was green and cherry tree was in bloom Boys went in bath ing in Little Pond. On January 12 it was recorded that Captain Parker Hall had put in most of the year plant ing" On February 2 Elijah Sherman fed his hens on grasshoppers. March P Mayflowers were plentiful.
 Very likely similar things were hap- pening in Connecticut, which is further south than Massachusetts. Anyhow, we have had some pretty good Janu- ary days here this year.

NOT TO BE ENVTED.

Perhaps nobody is envying the Czar of all the Russias in these days, but if anybody is he or she might get cured by considering how the C2ar has to eat Victor Hirtzler, who served two years in the Czar's kitchens at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, has given some interesting details as to the cuisine of the imperial household and the precautions taken against any at- tempt to poison the Czar. The head chef of the imperial kitchens holds the rank of general in the Russian army, receives a salary of more than $5O,OOO year, and is an important official of the state. Under him there is an army of some three hundred men as chefs un- derchefs and subordinates, and also the keepers of the wine cellars. Every dish that is prepared for the imperial table must first be partaken of by major of tAS dliuJ, tHS IoOu IS llltu pIdCSu III ct closed shaft, which the major also en- ters, and it then ascends to the dining room of the Czar, where the major again partakes of it, and, no i'll effects ensuing, it is then served to the im- perial household. The menu is ordered each day by the Czar, who is hearty eater, and who occasionally demands that new dishes be invented by his chef The dining room in which the regular meals are taken is small, made of cast iron, is bombproof and is sealed like a bank vault between meals,
 If nobody wants to be the Czar, is there anybody who wants to be the major who gets the first chance at the poison which may any time be inserted into the Czar's grub?

IS IF 10, THE PooR NEeRo ?

l It is generally admitted that the ne-
 gro is getting along some, but there is
 fear that he may not continue to
 stand our kind of civilization well. Dr.
 Robert c. Bryan, of Richmond, has
 been Investigating the birth and death
 rates among the negroes in this coun- try with a view to throwing light on the question whether the colored race is likely in the course of a few centuries, to disappear from the United States.
 At present negroes are increasing in
 number Many authorities, it is claim ed, admit that the race to-day is phy- sically inferior to what 1t was before the Civil war. That this inferiority is progressive is indicated by the fact that while there is still an annual increase in number, the rate of increase is de- clining, In 1S60 according to Dr. Bry- ans figures, the rate of increase was IS per cent. while in 1900 it was less than 12 per cent. Should this continue the next century would see the increase changed to decrease. The mortality of the colored people is 2J per 1000, as compared with r per 1000 among the whites. Statistics show that the pro- portion of deaths from consumption is much greater among negroes than among white people. Infant mortality plays an important part in the lowering rate of increase. For negro children under five years old the death rate is 11S per LOGO, while among white chil- dren it is only 49 per 1000.
 The negro isn't going to become ex- tinct in this country if he can help it, and he is giving many indications of being able to help it.

4 NEW RAI1ROAD NOTION.

An interesting railroad idea is pro- mulgated in Europe. M. Charmes Loiseau, a French authority on such subjects is advocating the construction of a new railroad line to connect vest ern Europe with the Balkans inde- pendently of the Orient Express. The valley of the Danube has hitherto been regarded as the most direct and easy route to the Balkan Peninsula, and has been followed by the Orient Ex- press and other important services from Ulm to Belgrade. M. Loiseau points out that the completion of the Simplon tunnel and the piercing of the Faucille Pass in the Jura, between Lons le Saunier and Geneva, would open up shorter and more advan- tageous route to Belgrade by way of Milan and Venice. It would, he con tends, be in no way inferior to that of the Orient Express, either from a technical point of view or the impor- tance of the commercial centres which it would tap. The proposed line, after passing along the coast from Venice to
 Trieste and crossing the Karst region
 and Carniola, would meet with no diff

ARIZONA AND ITS FATE.

Strong Statement in the New York
 Sun by MT. M, M. Murphy Regarding the Joint Statehood Outrage.
 To the Editor of the Sun-Sir: Hav- ing lived in Arizona for twenty eight years and being identified with some of the larger mining enterprisees in the territory, as we'll as interested in bank ing, merchandising and, in small way, railroading; having interests scattered pretty generally throughout Arizona, and knowing that at least nineay-three per cent. of our citizens are opposed to being merged into New Mexico-and that such opposition will continue unless bribed or coereed into taking different positlon--and also knowing that such a merger would be against every principle of right and fair dealing, that nothing but misfor- tune to Arizona could result from such unjust legislation-I, together with oth- CT citizens of the territory, have done, are doing and shall continue to do all We possibly can to prevent congress from committing the crime that is pro- posed forcing Arizona and New Mexi- co into the Union as one state, against the wishes of the citizens of both terri tories-p particularly Arizona I notice by the papers that the statehood ad- vocates, backed and led by the Speaker of the House and Senator Beverldge, are threatening the mining and railway interests with harmful legislation un- less they submit to the proposed out rage without further protest; also that saloons and gambling housees in the territories are being threatened with legislation for the purpose of forcing their managers to support the joint statehood sheme. By employing such tactics the speaker evidently hopes to be able to drive the insurgents-sO- called-into line.
 1 have been in Washington several times since congress convened; I have talked with many congressman. and I have not found to exceed half dozen who pretended to offer any excuse for supporting the joint statehood bill oth- CT than dislike to oppose the wishes of the Speaker and the republican ma- pority, so to speak at the same time saying they believed the bill to be wrong; and in many cases congressmen who intended to support the oill, for the reason named, did not hesitate to say that they believed 1t would merge with an outrage to compel Arizona to merge with New Mexico against the wishes of her people. The half dozen eastern congressman who pretended to offer some reason for the position they had taken did so by saying that if Ari- zona and New Mexico were not admit ted at this time as one state in a few years they would probably be admitted as separate states, and they thought that advantage should be taken of the strength the republicans now have In congress to force them into the Union as single state, and by so doing dis pose of the entire question without further discussion or consideration. When asked if they thought legislation of the kind proposed would be right should it be proven a little later that Arizona and New Mexico were entitled to admission as separate states, they

ficulty from steinbruck to Belgrade, and would be about one hundred kilo- meters shorter than that of the Orient Express through Germany and the valley of the Danube. A further ad- vantage in his eyes lies in the fact that 1t would enable France, England, and Italy to communicate directly with the near East Independently of Germany, and help to cement their growing friendship. Moreover, he thinks the scheme would be regarded very favor ably by Hungary as offering her an alternative means of communication with western Europe.

A curious story was current at Pekin during the recent conference between the Japanese commissioner, Baron Komura, and the Chinese delegates re- garding matters arising out of the late war. The abbot of a Buddhist monas- tery in Pekin, who is said to enjoy the confidence of the Dowager Empress, was, according to the story, in daily secret intercourse with the Russian representative there, after which he went to the palace, where he delivered to the chief eunuch such information as he had to convey to the empress, who in turn sent back her replies and instructions. It was not known wheth- CT the Japanese were aware of what was going on or not or whether they were or were not parties to it.
