The police detectives of New York made 1578 arrests last year, resulting in sentences aggregating 802 years. Two hundred and ninety-eight thousand seven hundred and sixteen dollars worth of property was recovered. The latest direction m which British capitalists have looked for investment in thu country is toward the big cotton mills. Negotiations are well advanced tor the purchase of three of the biggest mills in America at a cost of $20,000,- 000. Two of, these mills are in New England, and the third is in the Middle States. * The Asiatic cholera, of which, it is said, the grip is the forerunner, has reached the Turkish frontier, exposing Eastern Europe to ita visitation at an early day. England's sanitary work in Egypt may prove useful, but hardly ef fective in stopping the scourge. India is the country that needs her attention most. Physicians appear to conform quitv generally to the familiar injunction I > heal themselves save where the complaic.t is old age. The average age of the <m cendents of the Massachusetts Medical Society during the year 1889 reache*.' the high figure of sixty-eight years and a half, which comes very close to the anan cf life allotted to man by the psalmist, Arthur Mack, ex-chief the fraanghai detective force, asserts that while China has a population of over 450,000,000, yet the criminal element in proportion to numbers is less than ten per cent, of what it is in the Chinese quarter of Him Fran cisco. He accounts for this by the greater stringency of the laws for tho punish ment of crime in China and the greater certainty in their administration. The largest gun in existence b* hern sent by Messrs. Krupp to Cronstadt. It is of cast-steel, weighs 235 tons, has a barrel 40 feet long, a diameter of 64 feet in the largest part and a bora of 134 inches. Its range is over 11 miles, and it will fire two shots per minute, each shot costing from (1250 to SISOO. In a trial of the war monster, the projectile —4 feet long and weighing 1800 pounds, and propelled by a charge of 700 pounds of powder—penetrated 19j inches and went 1312 yards beyond the target. The attempt to carry on a government on the “boom' 1 plan has come to grief in the Argentine Republic. With gold at 240 it will not take long to briDg matters to a head. The result will be to place the nation in hopeless debt to the Eu ropean bondholders who have been ad vancing money at high rates of usury. The San Francisco Chronicle thinks there is nothing the English bondholder enjoys so much as handling the revenues of a foreign country in order to pay himself and his associate bankers a good round interest. Egypt is in this predicament, and the ambitious South American lie public seems to be the next victim. E. Stone Wiggins, of Canada, is afraid that, if a clear canal should be cut through the Isthmus of Panama,the Gulf of Mexico would drain into the Pacific, the Gulf Stream move westward and the climate of Europe become permanently colder. He has written a long letter on the subject. “When wc consider,” he says, “that the Isthmus is simply a huge dam, resisting the westward tendency of said gulf, may the canal not act as a small break which may lead to the sweep ing away of the whole structure? May not the water—through a high east wind, for example—made a sudden run, and ultimately attain a force and velocity which no power could resist, and event ually carry away the peninsula itself?” In the opinion of the Hartford Courant, “the enormous increase of the death rate in the centers of civilisation in Europe and the United States, by reason of the spread of the influenza epidemic, con tains a pertinent suggestion for the sur vivors. It may be regarded as an ex ample of the way in which the implacable law of the ‘survival of the fittest' works in nature. The epidemic went into com munities all over the country and at tacked thousands of persons. Those who were in good health, whose constitutions •were vigorous and not impaired by over indulgence, overwork, dissipation or sickness, either did not have the disease at all, or escaped with a very slight at tack. Few persons who were really in first-class physical condition had much trouble with the grip. There are excep tions to this rule, but they only go to substantiate its truth.” AT THE CAPITAL. WHAT THE FIFTY-FIRST 001* CRESS IS DOING. appointments bt president harrisoh— MEASURE* C 9 NATIONAL IMPORTANCE AND ITEMS OF SEinAIAL INTEREST. The resolution heretofore offered In the senate by Mr. Chandler, calling on the at torney-general for information as to the assassination < f W. B.

In the house, on Saturday morning, the regular order being demanded, Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, proceeded to ad dress the house upon the world's fair bill. He spoke iu favor of Washington. Mr. Mills, of Texas, in a short address also favored Washington as the site for the fair. Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, an nounced his opposition for one reason, that the proposed exhibition, worevei held, would involve 11 loss' to the treasury of the United States of several million dollars. Air. Blanchard, of Louisiana, iu reply to Mr. Mills’ re marks said the discovery by Colunbus argued that the south lmd more benefits to expect from the fair than any other sec tion. The fair would call the attention ot capitalists of the world to the fields and forests of the south. Mr. O’Ferrall, of Virginia, said that the city of his choice was Washington, where beauty and grand eur and magnificienee filled th<‘ eye. Mr. Gibson, of Maryland, was in favor of one spot which commended itself as a place where national progress in wealth and grandeur eoulcf be best seen v\ asinngtou. Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, wanted a world’s fair at which our wonderful wealth, skill and energy could lie exhibited. To have it anywhere except at the national capita) would take from it much of its impor tance. Air. Wilson, of West Vir ginia, favored the national capital. Mr. Vandero, of California, argued in fa vor of St. Louis. Mr. Carlisle wished tc restate and emphasize the consideration that would influence his vote. Each ot the four cities was worthy of the fair. The exposition was to give tho people ol the old world not an insight into out great manufactories and industries only, but to show them our great country. The exposition should be held at the cen ter of the country. St. Louis was the nearest and Chicago next. He would vote first for St. Louis and next for Chi cago. Messrs. Kinsey and Wilson, of Alissouri, and O'Neill, of Indiana, spokt for St. Louis, so also did Air. Forman, oi Illinois (whose district lies opposite St. Louis and includes East St. Louis), and Air. Hatch, of Alissouri, and Mr. Outh waite, of Ohio, advocated the claims ol Chicago. Air. Alason, of Illinois, was in favor of Chicago. General Kerr, ol lowa, Owen of Indiana, and Springer, ol Illinois, spoke for Chicago. Messrs. Fitch, Flower, Dunphy, Lansing, Spinola, Wallace, Raines, Turney, McCarty and Fjirquhar, all of New York, again pressed Use cUTms of the empire city. Faquhar concluded by offering in behalf of New Yerk $15,- 000,000 and a co*mopolitan people that know how to care for visitors. Air. Can dler, of Mas*achusett*, cloed the debate in words, saying the country could safely trust the house to discharge its full duty, and he hoped for a favorable conclusion upon the question. The house, at the evening session passed forty private pen sion bills, and at 10.25 adjourned. NOTES. The president on Wednesday nominated Wm. F.
