Has Been Too Free with His Opinions and Courtesics—Statistics of Mining Regions—Politicians Weep Over Decreased Fecs—Big Steamer Sinks, Kirkland Talks Too Much, The announcement that Rear Admiral Kirkland is to be relieved of the command of the Furopean squadron has caused @ sensation in naval circles. IFFor some time past it has been rumored that Secretary Herbert was not pleased with the conduct of Admiral Kirkland. Dissatisfaction was first caused by the action of the admiral in sending a letter of congratulation to President Faure of I'rance on his election. Secretary Herbert construed this as entirely wrong, helding that the official position of the admiral preciuded him from making any comment whatever with reference to French polities, and sent a letter of reprimand. Admiral Kirkland responded by appealing to ‘ the President to overrule Secretary Herbert's strictures on his conduet., He elaimed in his own defense that he had known President IFaure personally, and he had merely congratulated him in a personal capacity and not as an ofticer of the United States navy. It is not known what getion the President took, but the detachment of the admiral indicates that the secretary was sustained by Mr, Cleveland, Admiral Kirkland next eame into publie notice through a newspaper interview in which he made somewhat insulting comments on the character of American misgionaries in Syria, whither he had been sgent to give them protection during the Armenian troubles, Election Judges Disappointed, A bitter disappointment was experienced by the 4,665 judges and clerks of election who registered voters all over Chicago and Cook Connty Tuesday. The | last Legislature passed a bill purporting | to inerease the pay of these oflicials from s£3 to 85 a day. The bill was introduced by Representative MceCarthy, and when the news of its passage reached Chicago l there was much rejoicing amoug the small-fry politicians who net as jml;:vsl and clerks. They rose up and called MeCarthy blessed. But the law is invalid. ’ The pay remains the smne, $3, and Cook | County thereby ssves neagly SIO.OOO on i one day’s work alone. The bil! as passed | amended the law of 1872 instead of the ‘ later law, enacted in 1885, and hence the } meastre is not worth the paper on which | it is enrolled to the judges and clorks | whom it sgought to benefit, or to anybody | else. ‘ Steamers in Trouble. % The steamer Vegu, Lorain to Dulath | with coal, struck on Grecian shoal, off | Colchester, Ont., Tuesday morning. She succeeded in reaching Detroit River, where she partly sank. Her starboard after compartment is full of water and the middle compartment is leaking., The captain thinks thai by lightering some of the cargo he ean go on to Duluth before going into drydock for repairs. The joss will be between 215,000 and 820,000, The steauner Waldo Avery, Chicagzo to Buffalo with arain, struck at Ballard's Reef, and is at dock leaking badly. This ix her first trip to Lake Erie since being rebuilt ‘ after burning in the straits two vears ago.

The statistics of the mining regions, | which will be inciuded in the forth- | coming report of the Department of ! Internal Affairs, show the production ] of coal for 18M in the anthracite and | bituiminous districts of Pennsylvania to | have been 83.306.289 tons, a decrease of | 5,205,072 tons from the production of | 1893. The ]".'va!ll tion of anthracite coal | was 45,006,179 tons, as agninst 47,174, i 563 tons in 1893, a reduction of 1,673,384 | tons. The bituminous preduction was 39, E 800.210 tons. as against 43421959 tous 1 in 1893. a reduction of 3,021,179 tons. While the production shows this great i falling off, the total nwmber of employes | in and about the mines has iner ;m«!.i The number employved during 1894 was | 296.872. against 219,821 in 1893, an increase of 7,001, NEWS NUGGETS, : _ Pulaski, N.

An immense crowd went aeross to Algiers at night to look at the rains. They were packed so densely on the wharf awaiting the ferry that it gave way, and over sixty persons, including many women aid children, were precipitated into the river They were all rescued, hat several sastained broken limbs and internal injuries.

PANIC ON A TROLLEY . % S e MANY NARROWLY ESCAPE BEING KILLED, Car Crashes Into a Swiftly Moving Passenger Train—Over Thirty Injured in New Orleans Accident—Fa- ~ tal Crgssing Collision in Ohio, Electric Car Takes a Plunce, Electrie car No. 501, of the Western avenue line, at Chicago, took a wild plunge into a moving passenger train of the Burlington Road at the 16th street | crossing at 5:30 o’clock Monday evening. | After the collision there was not enough | left of the street car to make kindliugl wood, but the passengers all jumped in | time to save themselves, and escaped with mere or less severe injuries. The worst injury received was by Mrs. Hugo Miller, of West Madison strect, who had a sprained ankle. A curious feature of the affair is that a year ago the Burlington secured an injunction forbidding the streed car company from using electricity in crossing its tracks, and until a few days ngo it had been using horses at that l crossing. The injunction, however, was dissolved and the trolley wires strung across the right of way. \ «Accident at a Ferry, At New Orleans thirty persons were injured and three others, it is feared, were drowned by the breaking down of the little iron bridge which leads from the Algiers ferry-house to the floating wharf, where the ferry-boat is :wcus-, tomed to land. It was nearly dusk when the accident occurred. The waiting pas- | sengers crowded onto the bridge as soon ! as the ferry-boat was in sight. The boat, ! the Thomas Pickler, was also crowded, l The engines were slowed down on ap- ! sproaching the wharf, and as usual the boat almost drifted to her landing. How- ‘ ever, the stern of the vessel bumped against the end of the pontoon, and with I a crash the iron span parted and a hun- ! dred or more frantic people were dumped into the water among the piling and drift- I ing timbers. ‘The men on the pontoon ! and those in the ferry-house did not wait i a nioment before they began to look to- | ward assisting those in the water. While hundreds of strong hands grasped cvery plank within reach on the pontoon and dashed them into the water for the un- | fortunutes 1o cling to dozens devoted their i efforts to pacifying the women and chil- | dren on the pontoon. l Four Men Killed. .

i “Robert Louis Stevenson's name {8 ' one to conjure with, but it would not have been so had he done no better work than the ‘Fables.” Itis a pity that they were ever published. Fortunately for his reputation it can stand a great deal of strain,” says Richard Henry | Stoddard. | “Select Conversations with an Uncle™ is the title H. G. Wells has given to a l series of discursive chats, which often degenerate into monologues, with an old gentleman who has come back from South Africa, where he attained a certain afiluence, and now expresses his vilews upon British 4society and the British woman. The essays are all amusing, and there is a thin thread of story running through the series. An l Idea of the range of the conversations may be gathered from thoaae headings, taken at random: “The Theory of the P’erpetual Discomfort of Humanity > “The Art of Being Photographed,” “On \Social Music,” “On a Tricycle,” anag “The Pains of Marriage.” “In view of the attempt made by a few publishers in Canada to take from the English authors the great advan- ' tage derived from American copyright, | the report of the duties collected by the I Dominion Government on the reprints !Of British copyrights will be interestl Ing. In 1890, it was £970, a sum far i short of the money paid for one successl ful work by the Americans; in 1892, it was £573; in 1893, it was £364; while I last year it only reached £276. TFor this paltry sum English authors are asked |to give up what now constitutes a I fourth of their entire profits—all they ! derive from the United States.” And iz | they did, it might be a good thing for American authors. ' In his own name, as befitting more { Berious work, Donald G, Mitchell has | been laboring at a series of books on ! English Ifterature and history, and now, in his 74th year, it is completed. This ’ has been accomplished by the publica- { tion of “Queen Anne and the Georges’™ ; In the series on “English Lands, Letters ‘ and Kings.” The book is made up of , chats on the literary lights since the gclose of the Elizabethan period, and | they read so pleasantly that one can | scarcely believe that they were origin- { ally lectures delivered at a woman’s | college—as we learn from the dedica- | tion to Mrs, Grover’(,‘levolnnd, who was i a member of the author's classes. The first chapter begins with a considersstion of Berkeley, “an Irish bishop,™ \m{d discusses Richard Bentley, Isaze | Watts, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, f | and Pope; and in the suceceeding pages. »I, come wl.se and appreciative words. i about Richardson and Jlelding, Dr. ;’ Johnson, Boswell and Goldsmith, Miss i Burney and Hannah Moore, Sheridan, l Chatterton and Sterne, Cowper, Maria ; Edgeworth, Beckford and Burns, Rogi ers, Coleridge, Lamb and Wordsworth, Ewith many lesser lights noted in Dbet tween. ! T N S A T | How to Induce Respiration. | A method of inducing respiration by { means of ice applied to the lips has | been discovered by Dr. Berthold Beer, | a German physician. The mucous mem- | brane of the lips and of the mauth is j rubbed slowly with a piece of ice, the 3rhythm of the motion correspending , as much as poszible to that of normal ' respiration. In the cases observed by i Dr. Beer the result was a return of ércspimtion, very strong at first, but i with the continued application of the { ice becoming very regular, quiet and ] deep. The ice used in this way is said to have, moreover, a general sedative ‘ effect, and the author has employed this ? quieting action with success in the: | treatment of cerebral troubles. Dr. IPoges, of Vienna, has obtained equallyfavorable resulis with this treatraent \ in two cases of asphyxia. In all cases it is a method that may be empleyed ! for several hours at a time, as it is: { harmless for the patient and easy for ' the physician. It also offers other adg vantages owing to its sedative actioq. .! Relative Strength of Wood and Steel | Dr. Robert H.

Bengal Pitchers. In the valleys of Bengal a curious means of travel is resorted to during the periodical rains. Fhis is Ra raft, ! constructed by tying together bamboo f poles, and supporting them on four or more pitchers, which are kept in place j by cords. These pitchers are of earthenware, or copper, spherical in form, l with short necks and funnel tops, and are in general use for drawing water from the rivers and ponds. A raft held up by four of them will carry a man, ! an'd enables him to visit his neighbors during the annual inundations of the Ganges. o “What have you for a hungry “'l“‘f’l' man?’ inauired the young man In knickerbockers, glancing over th'e bill ' of fare. “Our saddlerock o}'St(’lS.al'9 very fine, sir,” sald the solom'n }valter, unbending slightly.—Chicago Tribune.
