If Dr. Schitlz, health commissioner of Milwaukee, can carry out his ideas, kissing in that city will undergo a marked decrease. The commissioner has become an ardent advocate to the germ theory, and fears that too inii h kissing will contribute to the propa gation of disease. For the present Dr. Sehulz confines himself to con sumptive or those suspected of hav ing that disease. Such persons are asked not to indutee in osculation. The czar lias .just sanctioned a re markable engineering project— thu raising of the surface of the water of the Sea of Azof 14 feet 0 inches, by building a dam near Kerteh, 9 miles long.

John F. Weston, commissary general of subsistence, shows that the total expenditures fur the subsistence of the army during the fiscal year were $15,622,228. The re ceipts for the sales of subsistence stores during the same period were $3,290,234. An interesting- feature of the report is a statement from Col. Woodruff, chief commissary of the army in the Philippines, in which he says: During the first three months of the period covered by this report stores here had, from various causes, become greatly reduced, but owing to the grand response made by the commissary general to every call from this otflee and the energetic ac tion of the purchasing commissaries in San Francisco and New York, this was speedily corrected, and this divis ion was soon supplied as no other army of its size has ever been sup plied in the world's history. During the period covered by this report the be supplied extended from the great wall of China on the north to the island of Borneo on the south and the island of Guam on the east, 'There were 4SO stations in this archipelago, besides the troops jn China and the prison ers in lluani. In addition to the 6(5.000 troops an r l 3,000 officers in this division, the sulp sistence department supplied the deli cacies for the sick, rations for 4,000 prisoners of war, 1.800 marines, many of the stores for the navy, rations for 1,000 civilian employes and sales stores for the army, navy and marine officers, Philippine commission and attaches, and Americans employed by the army and by the government in its treasury, post office, interior and educational departments, metropoli tan police, nat've police and scouts, transports, etc. In other words, nearly 100.000 persons, occupying a country almost destitute of meat and vegetables, or rather food supplies suitable for Americans, were sup plied largely from a single base, 7,000 miles distant. He denies any illegal purchases of champagne, and says that the pur chases that were made were neces sary for sick and debilitated troop 3 who purchased it at 82 cents a pint. Gen. Weston's report deals quite extensively with the Chinese cam paign, and quotes from officers who •were in that expedition to show that the troops were well supplied. Injured In a Wreck.
