In his Year Book of the Universities
of the World Doctor R. Kukula states
that there are now 147 universities.
That in Paris leads with 9215 students,
followed by Vienna with 6220 and

A historical society has been organ-

to mark places of historical interest
with memorial stones, beginning with
the Brandywine battle-field and fol-

Doctor A. C. Bernays, of St. Louis,
is reported by the Star Sayings of that
city to have greatly interested Sur-
geon-General Sternberg, of the War
Department, by a discovery that when
a man is shot in the abdomen shortly
waiter eating a hearty meal, the danger
is much greater. But it is doubtful
whether the doctor has popularized
himself with the rank and file of the
army, because the Surgeon-General'
announces that the principal lesson he
gathers from the information is that
soldiers should do all their fighting be-
fore breakfast.
Bays the New York Independent:
“The train robbers have of late be-
come 80 bold in their operations, not
restricting them, as in the past, to the
far West, but invading the hitherto
unmolested territory of the East, that
express and railroad companies have,
on the through lines, provided them-
selves with burglar proof safes, which
are absolutely dynamite proof, and
train hands with Winchester rifles and
repeating revolvers. The summary
taking off of a few more train robbers
will undoubtedly have an excellent ef-
fect in preventing future operations.”
1% is a mistake to suppose that Rus-
sin possesses great facilities for big nn-
dertakings in Asia in the way of free
convict 11bor. As a matter of fact, the
convict problem is not less difficult in
Siberia than in America, where, as has
been seen, there are constant revolts
against the employment of prison la-
bor in competition with free labor.
The introduction of convicts on to the
works of the Trans-Siberian Railway
led to complete disorganizatior and
frequent scenes of violence. Neither
the Russian free laborers nor the sol-
diers would work along with them;
and although, we believe, about a thou-
sand convicts are still employed on the
works, they are rather a source of
trouble and anxiety than of profit to
the Government.
Secretary Morton reminds the croak-
ers that only about three per cent. of
all the merchants escape failure, whereas
hardly three per cent. of the farmers
fail. The statistics really show, de-
clares the Boston Cultivator, that agri-
culture is safer than banking, manu-
facturing or railroading, taking all
things into account. There is no
farmer of good sense and good health
snywhere in the West, Mr. Morton de-
clares, who cannot make a good living
for himself and family, and that is as
well as the majority of men are doing
in any other pursuit. The man who
owns a farm and sticks to it is certain
to profit by it in the future.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN CHICAGO.
Cr1caGo—The revision of the election re-
turns shows that the Republicans elected
their entire judicial ticket, with the possible
exception of Craft, with Judge Gary in the
lead. Craft was identifiedto some extent
with the Socialists here. The Republieans
made general gains throughout the city and
county over the Presidential vote of last
year It is apparent that the New Board of
Commissioners will be a badly mixed one.
as men on both tickets seem to have been
elected. Gary’s plurality is estimated af

THE TIDE IN TRADE TURNS.
& Distinct Improvement in Business
Especially Manufacturing,
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of
Trade, New York, says:
The turn of the tide has come. Since the
e ections there has been a distinct improve-
ment in business, and particularly in man-
waciuring. There is some increase in actual
transsctions, and much more in the tone of
business. Men of all parties feel that there
is ground for greater confidence, the silver
question being put definitely out of the way
and the chance of disturbing action in other
respects being lessened, while the right of
the people to rule their rulers has been vin-
dicated.
While it is yet too early to look for great
changes,there is already a distinct improve-
ment in the demand for manufactured pro-
ducts since the action on thesilver bill,
some increase in the output of pigiron and
in sales of wool. 1n the building trades in
several cities and the failures for the week
Jatest reported show lower liabilities. In
brief, the recovery which began with the
silver repeal bill passed continues with in-
creased strength.
The volume of domestic trade, though
smaller than a year ago, shows considerably
less decrease than appeared in September or
October, the exchanges at clearing houses
outside ixew ) ork being only 17 4 per cent.
smaller than for the corresponding week
last year. Railroad earnings also exhibit
some relative improvement, as the decline
for the latest week reported is only 2.4 per
cent.. although analyses of the retdrnsshow
that the decrease in freight movement,
separately considered was decidly larger.
Money is sbundant and cheap, for although
the commercial demand has quite percept—
ibly expanded, the supply accumulated at
the chief financial centersis extraordinarily
large.
Much more confidence is felt in the fu-
ture monetary affairs since the repeal of
the sil: er bill, and it is the common esti-
mate that the result of the election will
tend to prevent further action in the direc-
tion of silver coinage or paper inflation.
The failures for the past weeks have been
361 in tbe United States, againet 210 for the
same week of last year and in Canada 07,
against 26 of last year.

Low 2,000 Matabele in One
Engagement.
A dispatch from Johnannesburg says
that the Fort Tull column, consisting of
300 Bechuana land police and a number of
Chief Khama’s men, under command of
Commander Raaf, captured Boluwayo, on
November 2, the day after the column had
repulsed an attack made upon it by the
M tabela, under command of Gombo,
Lobengula's son-in.law, during which en-
gagement Gombo is reported to have been
killed. The Matabele fought with desperate
fury, but they found it impossible to stand
up againet the machine guns; which laid
the dead in swaths upon the field.
It was not until 2.000 of the Matabele
were killed that the remaining members of
the Imupis retreated and allowed their King's
capital to fall into the hands of the British.
This is the severest blow yet dealt to the
Matabele, and jt isexpected that Lobengula
will now treat for peace.
The British Joss was onlv five men killed.
Many of tbe horses of the troopers were
shot beneath their riders.
After Bulwayo, lobengula’s kraal was
captured.the place was set on fire and burn-
ed to the ground. The magazine,containing
the greater part of Lobengula’s ammuni-
tion was biown up. Some of the Matabele
Indunas, or commanders, committed sui-
cide after the fight at Shangani, being im-

against Captain McCrea in the Nicaraguan

FIFTEEN PEOPLE KILLED,
Awful Anarchist Outrage in a Spanish
‘Theatre.
During a crowded performance at the Ly
ceum opera house, a place of amusement
frequented by the be-t society of Barcelona,
Spain, two anarchists from in the gallery
threw two dynamite bombs down in the
center of the fashionable throng beneath
with deadly effect.
As the bombs struck the floor one of
them exploded, causing awiul hayocin the
immense audience.
The explosion was followed by a wild
panic among the shrieking people. Smoke
tilled the theatre, and to add horror,almost
all the lights were extinguished.
The house was finally cleared of the au-
dience and the police swarmed in. They
found a number of mangled bodies near
where the bomb had exploded.
Fifteen were killed and it is believed at
least 20 fatalities will be the result. The
manager of the theatre grasped the situation
quickly and police were summoned at once.
They swarmed into the theatre and rushed
to the gallery where several citizens had
surrounded two men whom it was alleged
threw the bombs. They were placed under
arrest and the police identified them as
dangerous anarchists. Several other arrests
have been made

—'THE largest iron railroad bridge in Ger
many was opened last week. Itspans the
Vistula at Jordan, Prussia, is 1.450 feet long
and cost 8,000,000 marks.
Cheaper Silverware.
Some solid silver tableware is now
wholesaling as low as $1 per ounce,!
and there are manufacturers of silver
who expect, as an outcome of the
present silver situation, that forks'
and spoons and other simple utensils’
will yet sell at a much lower rate.:
Some prophesy that plated ware in,
small articles will give place to ster-
ling in the homes of persons moder-
ately well-to-do, and that with the
cheapening of silver will cone a much
wider use of the metal in the arts.
