NOTES AND COMMENTS

—The American Senate has agreed with

Tritish Hopes 7" t India’s Pestilence Has Bo u Checked,

Tbe disease, which was ‘rat described as bubonic fever, appeared in Boubay city carly in October, 276 dratuy being official: ly reported in that duh. In November the deaths were 268; im December, 1,160; in January 1,825, and in February, 3,072. ta March they fell 102,265, and during the first fifteen days of April they dropped to 804, thus showing a marked improvemen!, The week of highest mortaitiy was th. t ending on Feb. 9, when the deaths from ail causes in Bombay were 1,891, or ai the rate of nearly 120 per thousand on the assumed population of the city, from which some 300,000 people had fled. This rate hadeunk to under 71 per thourand in the werk encing March 30, and it is now considerably lower owing to the practice among the native papulation of concealing cases. The official returne show only known deaths frum the plague, whereas many thousands more must have oecurred. Hence the true test of the decline of the diseave is the *>!ling off in the number of deaths from al! causes. The returns recorded officially give 11.400 seizures with 9,662 deaths in Bombay city from Oct. 2to April the lith. Tie per-

the Lower House in puttting a $2 duty on lumber. It is nowtime for Mr. Fielding to declare his policy. Will he do it?

—Montreal Gazette: The butter ship- ments from the St. Lawrence this season are not as heavy asthey were in 1896. With a practical farm:r as minister of agriculture this ia something that surely was not looked for. Is it possible that those April frosts that Mr. Fisher talked so learned!y about injured the buttercups ?

—The British Board of Trade returns show the exports for Ja*t month to have increased in valueover May of 1886 by $2,435,000 and the imports by $14,932,000. This, moreover, isonly keeping up the record of the immediate past. Asan ex- change remarks, the jubilee year fell at a prosperous time forthere ple of the United Kingdom.

—The London, Ontario, election case is not yet decided. The cou:ts bave deter- mined that out of over nine bundred charges of corruption all but one are dis- proved. Concerning the one. case thera remains.a doubt wh ch will not be fisally, decided until the matter goes to the supreme court of Canada. It seems, however, to be certain that Major Beattie was honestly elected. nes?!

—The Marchand government has heen in power two weeks and there is already a big storm over the election in Gaspe. Chas. Marcil, who sailed from Pictou the other day, is supported bv the premier and attorney-general, while Chas. Langelies, is ehampioned by Provincial Secretary Robi- doux, E. Pacaud, F. Langelier, M. P., and Lemieux, M. L. A. Thus the bappy family begins its reign.

— Halifax Herald: The Grits are no doubt fully convinced by this time that the National p licy tariff was a master- piece, showing great care snd amryle knowledge in its making, anda sound judgment as to what a-preetical working tariff for this country should be; and great must their secret disgust, though ‘they dare not avow it, that sv good a thing shoulda haue been eo spoiled as thet has been by the recent tinkering.

—The St. James’ Gazette, commenting outthe dispute between Japan and Hawaii, which it Cescribes as a corrupt little republic run by a handful of American filibustere,” says:—“As Hawaii has no resisting power, the question arises will the United States Government see ita pro~ tege through ite trouble? The Japanese may land an armed party at any :oment. Then, what will the Philadelphia do? Japan, since she slashed the Chinese, is believed te be spoiling for a fight with a white power, and she may find America ready to oblige her sooner than she ex- pects.”

—A Chicago man seme weeks ago .as~ serted that he discovered the secret for which the alchemists of old sought so ear- nestly, and that he could transmute the basersmetals into gold. His claim was taken #0 seriously that expert metallurgists were set to work to investigate it, under the direction of a mint director. They, of course, found that the claim was baseless. There was no gold or silver in the com- pound submitted to tests, except a small quantity that had beeu put in by the “al- chemist.” Middle age myths cropping up at the end of the 19th century to be seri- ously investigated are rather out of place.

—Montreal Star: Hon. L. H. Davies has seemed to make po secrét from the outset of bis hostility to the proposed alien labor bill. Yet by some perversity of fate or through a secret desire to amother the measure, he bas been the Minister who has had charge of its development Asa, result, it is now passing the House a blink- ered and ham-strung apoiogy for a retaiia- tory act. Itcan only be. put in force in any individual case with the consent of the Attorney-General; while the American law itis to meet has an army of De Barrys zealously looking for opportunities to set it m motion. As it stands, the Canadian bill will only render use ridiculons, and furnish apparent proof of our importance to protect ourown. It is like tieing a man’s elbows together behind bis back and then bidding him face a free-armed pugilist. If Mr. Davies cannot batch out a better bill, he can at least stsnd out of the way and Jet the friends of the measure trytheir hands. If he wants to exclude Prince Edward Island from the operations of the law, thet might be permitted, but he should not judge’ Windsor and Fort Erie from a Prinee Edward Island point of view.

The gilded youth of Parisian soc ety who pushed women over in getting out of the bazaar fire are being cut when they appear in certain ealoas of the Fauborg St. German.

ventage of recoveries was tius very small,

In Karachi the plague broke out on Dee 10, 59 deaths occurring in that month. The mortality rose to. 745 in Jauuary and 97l in February, and then eank to 868 in March, while 302 deaths were reported in the first half of April, which goes to show that the disease is declining, as in Bombay. The pereentage of recoveries is much smaller in Karachi than in Bombey, 2,944 deaths having occurred out of 3,531 eeizures,

As regards the area outside Bombay and Karachi the worst returns come from Jhana, elose io Bombay, where 3,874 seizures occurred. Poona ¢ity and district come next with about 2,500. urat with 1,971, Kolada with 480, Sukkur with 439, and Haidarapad, Sind, with 406, are other cevtres where the plague became indigenous. It has been clearly establish- ed that the disease spread mainly in a porthwesterly direction from Bombay. Poova, Satara, and» Kholap: to the southeast have been infected, but this \was due to the exodus f-om Bombay 4p, first inst. Goa,onthe west co ', only* had sixty cases in al!, four of which have been in April, That the plague is not likely to extend inland to tye south<a+t is prored by the fact that isolated cases only

ave been réported fer a month past in,the Deccan districts outside Poona.

As to India generally, not a single case bas been reported in Madras and Bengal, only 14 in Rajputana, 3 in the central proviocea, 8 inthe Punjab, and 4 jiu the Northwest provinces, hese were iavari- ably persons travellinginy train who. were intercepted et railway junctions. In the provinces just mentioned all the cases with the ‘exception "cf two occurred before March 25, sinee which date tbis vast inlaod area has been free from even a suspicion ot plague. In the central India agency there. was an outbreak at Khandraom, a Village in Gwalior, where 74 cases occur- ted. The epidemic: ha’ been stamped out without spreading to the.villagés «+e to K.handraom:itseif. “Six cases are .-0 re- ported from Ujjain, but there Kave* been none there fora month past.. Ujjsin is a plece of pilgrimage, and a melah or fair was about to he held there, but the Mah- rajah of Gwalior probibited any assem blaye of persone, Tlie Government of India approved isis acuvL, aud directed that no railway uckets should be issued to pilgrims for Ujjain from anywhere in Fodia, It was certain that any great gathering would result in an Cutbreak of plague, ax people from the infeeted districts would form the bulk of the pilgrime.

To review the whole position, the area of which the plague bastaken aold forms less than @ tenth part of India. The disease shows mo signs of epreading into the beart of the country, and it is reasonable to hepe that it may gradwa)ly die out, as fewer cases are mow reported from day to day.

HUNTING FOR KIDD’3 MO NEY.

eee

The mania for hunting’ “Captain ‘Kidd’ buried treasure” bas again become epitiemic on the Long Island shores between Astoria nd North Beach,according to late advice from New York. The revival has been effected by the discovery of a quantity ofold gold: “and silverr coins onCasino Beach. —

Mrs. Woolsey employed some men to-pre pare the beach for bathing purposes ‘aboat a weekago. They removed a big boulder,’and beneath this was found a large number of coins

majority of the coins, which were of both gold and silver, were not sufficiently well preserved to be. recognizable, but the inscriptions and dates.on some few of them showed that. they represented money of many nations a ‘ were coined at widely different periods. The collection included ‘a shillingfof Effeabeth, Queen of England, \ dated’ 1561; a halk ‘groat of Ethelred, Saxon ‘King of Eugland,'a:small silver coin of Albert of Prussia dated 1547; a s Iver piece of Charles I. of Spain, anda ¢vin of Ferdinand and Isabella, King and, Queen of Spain.

The fact that many of the coins are dated hundreds of years previous. to 1701, when the redoubtable pirate Caption Kidd was hanged in the Execution Dock, Liverpool, does ‘not favor the theory that they area part of the treasure he. is _; traditionally Supposed tod have buried on the shores of ‘the Sound.” Never- theless, thé fever for treasurethunting has been revived, and numbers of excited diggers are prospecting slong the -Long Island'«beaches now.
