Tho feature of yesterday's events was the prompti tude with which tho senate passed the house hill carrying the appropriation of 150,000,000 far the national defense, nnd the liaste with' which It was put through the formal proceedings, e'ngrossed and signed hy tho president. While tha matter has been considered It can be stated that the fund has not vet been allotted among tho various branches of tho government service. Kach of these had prepared roughly and tenta tively an estimate of tho funds It could dispose of to advantage, but upon look ing over tho ground the president con cluded that It would be well perhaps to avoid making the allotment until the necessity became apparent. Tho reason back of this Is that tho sum that can be profitably spent for warships cannot oven be guessed at with any approximation to accuracy Just now. As the Bhlps are to be first choice In the steps for defenses until their cost Is ascertained It Is not pos sible to divide the remainder of the ap propriation among tho other branches of the military and naval services. The secretary of the navy Is making every effort to secure from our naval at taches and diplomatic ofllcers abroad all Information obtainable respecting tho number of ships building, their price and other data. This does not necessarily interfere with the execu tion of the plans confided to Captain Brownson, who sailed for Southampton yesterday, but rather promises to as sist him materially In making speed with his inquiries. Up to this moment not only has tho United States government bought no warships, but it has not even secured an option on ono. There are many applications coming to the department from persons and firms who desire to sell ships to our government, but In most of these cases either the craft of fered Is not suitable for naval needs or the date of possible completion Is so distant that It cannot be regarded as worthy of purchase to meet an emergency. There is less difficulty experienced In securing tenders of war material, Buch as shot and shell and powder, and tho navy department has almost assured itself of an abundant supply of certain kinds of smokeless powder abroad at Bhort notice. The officials of the de partment are in dally correspondence by mall and telegraph with agents of ammunition houses, and besides are now fully acquainted with the plans of domestic powder makers for enlarging their plants to meet an emergency. The representatives of the armor mak ing firms are In consultation with the department steadily, generally relative to the supply of gun forglngs and such material for use In the gunshops here and at Watervllet, but the question of armor Is receiving little attention, as the armor makers report that they can not undertake by any known agency to turn out such armor as would be re quired for a modern battleship In less than seven months, for the reason that tempering and face hardening cannot be hastened without destroying the value of the armor. The statement was made at the navy department today that the report of the Maine court of Inquiry probably would come to the department some time next week. It did not appear, however, that this statement was founded upon any direct reoort from the court, but was rather an estimate based upon tho progress so far made as revealed by the chance of methods on the part of the court. It Is not expected that Lieu tenant Commander Marlx, the Judge advocate of the court, will leave the court until It has completed Its labors, as It is the custom for the Judge ad vocate to assist in the preparation of the final report of tho court. Admiral SIcard has been authorized to enlist suitable men for tho navy at Key 'West If he can find the material. He reported that he had received some applications from machinists and sea men, and was immediately given power to take the men. The department Is still striving vigorously to secure ma chinists, especially men who know how to run stationary engines. These men can be quickly taught how to run ma rine engines, and require little other training to make them valuable aboard ship. Official reports Indicate that the au tonomy scheme projected at Porto Itlco has been put Into successful oper ation. This Is Interesting mainly be cause of resemblance between the pro ject and the plan which It Is now sought to put in play in Cuba. The war department Is arranging to secure a large supply of the most mod ern rifles, sufficient in time of emer gency to arm a force of 600,000 men. The need of these modern guns has long been apparent, but congress has not shown a disposition to supply any reserve of rifles for use by a volunteer force In time of emergency. Now, how ever, an adequate supply of the most effective rifles will be among the first uses to which the war department will put its share of the defense fund. Like attention Is being given to supplies of powdor, cartridges, etc., for the army. Those In authority say orders can be filled without delay, nnd that about the only branch of ordnance on which the facilities are not fully up to an emergency demand are those for heavy fortification guns. Much conjecture has been Indulged in touching the visit paid yesterday to the White House by the British ambas sador. The Washington Post this morning Bays on this point: "Queen Victoria has, through SI? Julian Pauncefqtp, conveyed to Presi dent MoKlnley her gratification at the wise and conservative course which he has thus far pursued In relation to th Cuban and Spanish situation. She also expressed to him her thorough sym pathy with the efforts put forth by the United States to relieve suffering hu manlty In Cuba, with the hope that these endeavors may be conducted to a successful conclusion without war."

Serious plague riots have occurred In the native quar ter. The mob attacked the hospital, burned the offices and stores and sav agely assaulted the doctors, killing one of them. Detachments of police, of the Shropshire regiment and of artillery were hurried to the scene. A polley was flred Into the mob and sever, per sons were killed. Uefore this two sol diers of the Shropshire regiment and one artilleryman were stoned to death. The two members of the Shropshire regiment who were killed were walking unarmed. The mob battered In their skulls. Many European ofllcers and many policemen were severely handled and seriously Injured. In several instances Europeans who were traversing the na tive section of the town alone were beaten or stnbbed. Some were dan gerously Injured. In various parts of the city plague ambulances were seized and burned. Attempts were made to burn the hos pitals, and the European nurses had narrow escapes. Finally they were es corted to a place of safety by the troops. Tho mob attacked the Jamsetjee hos pital and badly wounded Mr. Gillespie, the house surgoon, but It was repulsed by rllle volleys and several of the riot ers were killed. The total losses of the rioters are yet unknown, but the outbreak Is regarded as the most alarming that has occurred In India In many years. The riot broke out at noon among the low caste Hindoos and Mohammedans against the Europeans, and had Its origin In an attack upon a plague Eearch party. The excitement has now partially subsided, but the situation Is still regarded as serious. Cavalry has been ordered from Poonah to assist In patrolling the streets and the volun teers have been called out. The city Is in the hands of the military. TO CURE A COI.U IN ONE DAT.

It is for this reason that women strive to become accomplished. They study in order that they may converse intelligently on all subjects. They strive to become good musicians, graceful dan cers and amiable hostesses. All accomplishments are unavailing if a woman suffers from ill-health in a womanly way. The special weakness peculiar to the womanly organism, will rapidly wreck the general health. The sufferer will lose her natural vivacity, her wit, her good looks, and the ambition and power to display the accomplishments at her command. Any worn in affected in this way should resort to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a wonderful medicine for ailing women. It is the invention of an eminent and skillful physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. It aims to cure but one class of dis eases, and claims to be good for nothing else. It imparts health, elastic strength, vigor and virility to the delicate feminine organs. It prepares a woman for wifehood and motherhood. Mrs. Ramon Sanchez, Penasco, Taos County, N. Mex., In a letter to Dr. Pierce says: " From a grateful heart my voice goes up to God both night and day in a solemn prayer that He may guard your health and preserve your life. I heieby ex press my gratitude to you for the relief I have received from your wonderful medicine, 1 Favor ite Prescription ' After suffering years of misery I am to-day a healthy and happy wife, and can truthfully recommend to women the use of the Favorite Prescription ' as a regulator of the monthly periods."
