France early in the century, in 1802 sent to San Dotnings an army of 58,515 men. They fought few battles, but yel low fever was more deadly than war. In four months 50,270 died of this disease, and in 1809 only 300 men returned to France. The Spanish army in Cuba seems to be sharing a similar fate. No returns of death are published by Spain, but in Madagascar a better equipped French force have lost onc-forth of its number by disease. It would no one if the Spanish loss had already reach ed one-half of the total of 70,000 men sent to Cuba. It is this steady,persistent mortality which renders delay so fatal to j Spanish hopes. Washington Notes. The concurrent resolution reported from the Committee on Foreign Rela tions on the Armenian outrages was taken up in the Senate last Friday, and was passed, after an interesting discussion, without a division, and now goes to the House, it expresses the earnest hope that European concert may speedily be given its just effect in such decisi\e measures as shall stay the hand of fa naticlsm and lawless violence, and shall secure the rights of the unoffending Christian of the Turkish empire. In his speech on the resolution Senator Cullom, of Illinois quoted from-a speech of Daniel Webster these words: "There is something among men more capable of shaking despotic power than the light ning, the whirlwind, the earthquake, and that is the excited and aroused in dignation of the whole civilized world," and he added that he knew of nothing which had happened in the world for centuries that more called for interfer ence than these slaughters of Armenian Christians.

The house Tuesday after a lour-hour debate, adopted the resolutions passed by the senate last week, calling on the powers, signatory to the treaty of Berlin, to enforce the reforms in Turkey guaran teed to the Christian congress to the President in the most vigorous action he might take for the protection and secur ity of American citizens in Turkey. Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, proposed to give the Turkish minister his passports and sever all diplomatic relations with Turkey. His remarks denouncing the Turkish outrages and charging that the powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin were actuated from political and other considerations in maintaining the "bal ance of power" in Eastern Europe were received with great enthusiasm and at one time it looked as if the house might be carried to his way of thinking. But the counsel of Mr. Hitt not to take rash actions, in the course of which he point ed out the dire consequence of diploma tic relations with a friendly power that had fulfilled her treaty obligations to us, prevailed, and the Hepburn proposition W2S overwhelmingly defeated, Political Notes.

Rhodes of Newville Ky. who is charged with murdering Jared Robinson, a neighbor, and who is suspected of pois oning his wife in order to gain possession of Robinson's first wife and her estate, was taken to Owensburg under heavy guard. His wife, formerly Mrs. Robin son, came with him. He was taken before Judge Karn and examination fixed tor Thursday. Much feeling has been aroused and Rhodes is now spoken of here as "Holmes No. 2."

Dr. Conan Doyle, after a tour of the United States, has returned to England with a keen appreciation of the grandeur and strength of this country, and his let ter in the London Times warning his countrymen against overlooking the fact is timely. It is noteworthy that English men who have visited us always return with enlarged ideas of our ability to take care of ourselves. It is shown by the official statistics that in a given 1,000 of the people of Massa chusetts there are now trore individuals possessed of moderate and fairsized es tates than ever before, and that the aver age size of such estates is more than double what it was sixty years ago. This is relatively true as to the whole country.

But keep up the agitation, and the mil lennium of good roads will be here be fore the twentieth century has reached its second decade. Revolutions of this kind grow elowly but surely. The case of a man on trial for arson in New York was enlivened the other day by the eliciting of the information from him on the witness stand that, al though he was a citizen, he did not know what Congress was, or where Washing ton was located, nor whether the coun try was a kingdom or a republic. There is a certain tragic side to the humor of thie situation. Here was a man who had been four >ej»r« a voter, and yet was about as fit a cituej: as the stupidest Matabele. Such a conditio** cf blank ignorance among naturalized voters is not peculiar to New York; it has been noted in Philadelphia, but it is a fright ful commentary 011 the reckless way in which we sell our birthright. It is such aliens, who, although they lwv», the skies and climes, have as little con ception of what the United States means as if they wort hording in ill-smelling huts and living on a kofecjr a week.— They are dangerous citizens, no taatiCT liow peaceful they may be.

Lower Court Reversed. Justice Peckhain, the new member of the United States supreme court, deliv ered his first opinion in that court at Washington, Tuesday. The opinion was in the case involving the right of the government to condemn the real estate of the Gettysburg electric railway com pany as a part of the National park locat ed upon the Gettysburg battle grouud. The court below had decided that the act of congress authorizing the establish ment of a park, in so far as it applied to the condemnation oi private property, ;|tJf°fistitutional, and that there was no right under it to cmultnui, Justice Peckham's decision revetted this deciding the law to be valid, and sustaining the condemnation proceed ings- Let The Candidates Come Forward. Congresman John B. Robinson, of Dela ware county, recently suggested to the chainnan of the Republican State Com mittee that the names of candidates for United States Senator be submitted to a vote of the people at the primary elections now rapidly approaching. The suggestion is a good one on general principles; bat it may be a little difficult to carry it out in practice because the men whom the voters might think best fitted to fill the office seem reluctant to even announce their candidacy. "We can readily see why a person competent to fill such a post should refrain from personally urging his own election; but there is no reason why the candidacy of any man who desires so hon orable an office should not be lrankly an nounced. Several men have been talked about more or less as available i-enatorial tiro tier, and ar-jng them no doubt can be found more than one candidate who would bo acceptable to the majority of the Re publican voters of Pennsylvania; but so tar as we know only one of them has defi nately announced his candidacy. It seems to us this backwardness in coming forward in the Senatorial field is to be regretted, The majority of the Republican candidates for the Legislature are to be placed in nomination within the next few weeks, and the yoters should be giveu a fair chance to instruct these legislative candi dates explicitly concerning the Senator ship, There is an uneasy feeling abroad that the failure to vote " instructions may in some way inure to the benefit of Senator Cameron, and that by some underhand work an unmstructed Legislature may be induced to again trick the party by select ing him to misrepresent the Republicans of the State lor another term. There is no doubt that a large majority of the Re publicans of Pennsylvania are opposed to his re-election; bu: experience has shown that the wisbe3 of the voters count lor very little with representatives who are not bo-md by explicit instructions. To prevent the misrepresentation ot the pub lie sentiment it is desirable it not neces sary to openly demonstrate that senti ment by the announcement of acceptable candidates around whom It can crystalize. The welfare of the party demands that there should be an end of the present un certainty. Let oach of the respectable gentleman who would like to repiesent Pennsylvania in the Senate put aside his uuseasonable bashfulness and frankly sub mit his name to the Republican voters of the Sta-.e. Then when the new Legisla ture is elected there will be no excuse for pretended doubt as to the popular will. — Wellsboro Agitator. Russia Reaches The Mediterranean. A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Constantinople, dated last Thursday, showß that an offensive and defensive alliance has beeu concluded between Rassia and Turk ey. The Pall Mall Gazette correspondent a<jds the treaty was signed at Constanti nople, and that the ratifications were ex changed at St. Petersburg between Aarej Pash and the rzar. The basis of the treat> is declared to be on the lines of the TJn kiarskelli agreement ot 1833, by which Turkey agreed, in the event of Russia go ing to war, to close the Dardanelles tc warships ot all nations. This treaty was soon abandoned owing to the refusal of the powers to recognize it. The Pall Mall Gazette correspondent al so savs that tt e French ambassador, M. Comuon, conferred with the sultan yester day, and that it is probable France will be included in the new alliance. Commenting on the dispatch from Con stantinople announcing the signing of a treaty botwoen Russia and Turkey tor of fensive and defensive purposes, the Pall Mall Gazette says: Wo regard the news as true, and the re sult of the treaty is that the Dardanelles is the southern outpost of Russia and Tur key is Russia's vassel. We presume the British government will protest against the treaty for all it is worth. The information is plainly of the very gravest importance. The first intimation reached us iour days ago; but we withheld it until the arrival of strong confirmation, which we received this morning. This brings Russia into the Mediterranean with a vengeance, and may necessitate the strengthening ol our fleet in those waters. Politically the effect will be far greater. The treaty means that Turkey has realized her own impotence against disorders both from within and without and has decided to throw herself for safety into the arms of Russia. FUCK FLICKERINGS.

The ball passed straight through the chest three inches above the heart and it was at first believed that the wound was necessarily fatal Everything indicates, however, that she will not die, and her recovery is considered almost miraculous. Intense excitement wa.i creattd in tho town of'Girard, Pa., by the exposure ot tn attempted murder by slow poisoiiing of Peter H Nellis, proprietor of the Avenue hotel, and the arrest of his wife, Mary H. Nellis, as principal, and the bartender, Ed ward Gardner, as an accessory to the at tempted murder. The Nellis family have been in business in Girard for a number of years, and are quite well off. Mr. Nellis carries a SIO,OOO insurance policy in favor of his wife, who is a very attractive and popular woman. A few years ago she be came a frequent visitor to the Lillydale N. Y., spirit camp, and last season brought young Gardner home with her. Mr. Nellis was taken with vomiting several weeks ago, ar.d frequently fell into long sleeps, from which he recovered without medical assistance. His repeated sick spells and bis failing health aroused tha suspicion of his brother- in-law, Dr. Foster, of Conneaut, Ohio, and that gentlernan. without inform ing Nellis of his suspicious, took the head dining room girl, Maggie Holbrook, into bis confidence. Saturday Mr. Nellis got a dose of poison at noon, but recovered in time to be at supper. The dining room girl saved him a dose at supper by ex changing coffee cups. Mr. Nellis "got a dose to-day and vas so ill that Dr. Duff used a stomach pump on him to save his life. The contents of Nellis' stomach is in the custody of the officials.
