BOMBAY. Jan. 14. Over half of the popu
lation of this city , tntlmatcd to nmount to
about 900.000 , has nod from tbo plaguo.
The courts nro deserted nntl the Jiulgca and
olllclal.1 have pone to healthier climates.
Clerks and others whosn vocations call tlicm
to the city tlally liavo removed to suburban
stations , where the people nro mostly living
In thatched huts. It la estimated that 800-
000 persons are encamped at Andhcrla , from
whence they eoon will bo forced to migrate ,
owing to the lack of water and sanitation
threatening to breed cholera. The nights
nro made hideous by melancholy dirges.
Often difficulty Is experienced In burying the
dead , friends and relatives refusing to carry
the corpses. In nome Instances women
have assisted In carrying. A largo number
of plagut : corptcs at the Tower of Silence ,
the I'arseo bnrl.il place , have been eaten
by the vultures Inhabiting It. Corrsca have
been found In the streets. The official re
turns show that up to last evening there were

VANCOUVER , B. C. . Jan. 14. Among the
ndvlccs from the Orient just received per
steamship Empress ot Japan are the follow
ing :
The rioters In Tarchou prefecture , who
burnt down a temple which had been sold to
Unman Catholics , have agreed to settle the
affair by paying 2,000 taels. The Chinese
say that they destroyed the temple because
the mission had taken It over from a con
verted nun.
M. de Hun , charge d'affaires In Bangkok ,
took his departure for his new post at Wash
ington on the 7th Inst. and the leave-taking
was a striking testimony to the appreciation
In which ho has been held there.
Much disappointment Is felt In Japan at
the result of the election. The triumph of
the pound money party In the United States
has not caused the expected advance In the
raw silk trade.
The hand of Russia In Corcnn affairs Is
dally becoming more evident and that coun
try Is gradually securing a firm foothold In
the peninsula. Japanese correspondents are
for once right In stating that there Is wide
spread maneuvering among Coreans , who
view Russian aggrreslon with suspicion and
jealousy. It Is the general opinion that
Russia has Its eye on D.igelct Island , off
the coast of Corea , as a suitable point for a
naval station. The rumored appointment of
Mr. Olslm as Japanese minister to ( Corcti Is
received with dissatisfaction. When In Corea
previously ho gained an unenviable reputa
tion by his bullying policy In the Yucnsan
Denn case. The Japanese are- also greatly
t discontented with the revival of Chinese
trade with Corea , na Chinese merchants are
now obtaining * the lion's share.
LI Hung Chang has routed a house In
Peking , which Is considered to mean that
the viceroy will make n long stay there.

VENICE , Jan. 14. Don Carlos , the pre
tender to the Spanish throne , has made the
following statement to the Associated press
representative here :
"I do not wish as a Spaniard to remember
the Insults addressed by the American sen
ate to my fatherland , but a politician ought
not to forget that friends never Insult.
Spain has two Immense forces an admirable
people , who despise all material conditions
when the national honor Is Involved , and a
heroic army , which continues the glory of Its
Immortal history. Supported by these two
elements , Spain Is strong enough to affirm
her Independence and maintain her sever
eignty. Mediators are out of place where
there Is a government worthy of the name.
It Is this which Spain lacks , and It Is duo to
this that the United States flouts her. But
the Spanish people , who conquered Amer
ica and who are courageous as their gov
ernment Is weak and short-sighted , still ex
ist , One should never bo the provoker , but
must bo ready to defend one's self against
all. Spain can do this. "

PIERRE , S. D. , Jan. 14. ( Special Tele
gram. ) In the senate about the only thing
outside of routine was a resolution calling on
the secretary of state for copies of the
amendment adopted at the late election ,
which Is taken In berne quarters to mean an
opening to test the resuburlsslon question.
In the house the principal bills were for
taxing cattle brought Into the state by non
residents for grazing ani making the loan
ing of public funds for privategalu embez
zlement.
The resolution requiring a showing of cash
by the elate treasurer brought on a fight on
Its final passage. An amendment to kill Ho
effect was lost by a majority vote of thlrty-
llvo and the resolution \\as then carried by
a largo majority.
The first bill to eel through either body
wan an appropriation to pay the expenses of
tha electors , which was passed In the house
and sent down to the eonato. That body will
take It up at once- and it will bo the first
bill to become a law at the present session.
The committee on state affairs will not
present the capital removal bill until next
Saturday , and before that time will give
the matter a thorough hearing. The Huron
people had been working on It for a month
before the session , and had worked up con
siderable sentiment for themselves from a
one-aided view , as they presented It , and
their hope was to rush U through before
their game could bo called. But they are
meeting unexpected delay , and a full hear
ing and consideration by the committee ,
which Is putting a different showing on the
matter , and , while the measure seemed fa
vorably received In the senate at the opening
of the session , It now looks like certain de
feat for them In that body , where they
looked for the easiest victory ,
A prominent fuslonUt stated tonight that
Loucks has been gaining strength the past
few days , and that In the caucus ho will
make a strong showing. The vote of I'loxy-
man Is put at not to exceed ten , and that
of Goodykountz at six. Kyle U yet consid
ered in the lead , but the caucus may show
that Loucks has more votes than Kyle.
The regular populist caucus has been Bet for
Saturday , hut a fusion caucus IB called for
tomorrow night , and the senatorial question
may como up there. If any populist secures
a majority of this caucus the democratic
opposition will bo practically nothing. end ,
will only develop In cane the papulUls get
Into a contest between themselves.
The democrats are yet standing oat on
the senatorial situation , and fay they will
do 10 to the end. Some of them will , as
they do 'ro to keep up the party organiza
tion in the state. Out eomo of them are
likely to break over at any time , and If
two of them go the rest have no power to
save anything for themslves , as two will
give the populists a majority. Several of
the old-time democratic leaders ore here ,
attempting to secure a close organization ,
which will hold them together , but have not
accomplished anything yet. If they break
now , there Is nothing more for the democrats
of the state to start from In an organization ,
and If they over desire to be a factor in
the future politics of the state they will
liavo to start an entirely new organization.
It is to save- such a state of affairs that the
men now here are attempting to prevent.
It is reported that K. W. Miller Is looking
after a judgcshlp In one Of the now districts
which It Is hoped the present legislature will
provide for. From the bills so far intro
duced , unless there Is a bad falldown , the
probabilities are that there will be at least
one or two new judicial circuits created ,
If not provisions made for two new supreme
judges , and ho would bo willing to take any
of these.

VERM1LLION. S.D.J Jan. 14. ( Special. )
It has been decided 'by the supreme court of
thU state that when a" tax deed Is allowed
to run three years w hput being attended to
by the owner of thq property , the owner of
the tax deed becomes Uio absolute owner of
the property and It cannot bo taken from
him except by purchssfc , This decision was
rendered about Thanrfglvlng time In a con
tested case at Alexander , thla state. This
decision of the court rtlll be nf considerable
Interest to a number' tit property owners In
this city. Soon after ( ho flood of 1SS1 , the
city of Vermllllon Wan /moved / from the bottom
tom land onto the high hill , thus making
vacant a great man ? bu lnvna and residence
lots , which were greatly depreciated In value.
In nearly every case the taxes have not been
paid by the owners , but have been paid by
other parties , who have built their houses
thereon and made various Improvements , A
greater part of the land Is now owned by
two or three Individuals who have made , in
the past few yeans , some valuable Improve
ments la the way of fruit orchards and
ftmall truck farms , The only title that the
present pofiawsors of the land have I.i a
tax deed which , according to the recent
decision , Is all that la necessary for the
permanent holding of the land.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. , Jan. H. The Clyde
steamship Delaware , Captain Ingraham ,
which arrived in port this morning from
Boston , had quite an unexpected adventure
Jut before daylight today when off the bar ,
being mistaken for a filibuster by the dis
patch boat Dolphin.
About 2 o'clock this morning David Kemps ,
one of the bar pilots , took out a nraall
launch bound for St , Augustine. After get
ting out ho gave the owner of the launch
his bearings. The pilot then lay by In his
skiff waiting for the Delaware. The Dol-
ph Ill's ( iearchllght was being used almost
coiutHiitly and so discovered the Delaware
lying close In shore. The light showed the
steamship that It was too near to shore , and
It Immediately headed out. At the same
tlmo the launch had lost Its position , the
compaa falling to work , and Instead of pro
ceeding south it headed cast , apparently to
meet the Delaware , This aroused the sus
picion of the Dolphin's oUlcers and the
vowel went In pursuit of the two craft , soon
overhauling them. An olllcer was put aboard
each vessel and they were escorted back to
the bar. The officer aboard the Delaware
reported that vessel all right and It wan
allowed to como up to the city , the officers
remaining aboard. The captain of the
launch explained matters satisfactorily and
was allowed to proceed.

So much has been said on former occa

Aa to Mr. Clement's own personal part
In It , which includes writing the play as
well as carrying the leading role. It will
rank in both particulars with the most
artistic performances of the decade. The
people ot Omaha are gradually coming to
recognize his surpassing worth and It will
not bo surprising If In the course of three
