Nov. 11. -Public . attention has again bevu drawn to the national peril Involved In the constantly diminishing birth rate by the publication of the vital t-ta. tistics for l'Jtt. The birth In France for f this scar numbered W.292. showing a de crease of 10.937 from the total of 1904. The reason for the decrease is not to be found in a reduction of the number of marnajm . . In which tha statistics show a slight in rs over 14. but It apparently arises from tha aversion of the French people to I raise lurao families. The Kminni., ..ociatton. which Is studying this matter has reached the conclusion that It I' neces- mry to inculcate the Idea that any couple that raises more than three children merit and are entitled to public gratitude and pro la ct Ion.

The Vatican su. thoTitii-s declare thnt the difference be tween them and Ppaln have been much pi- aggcrated by the Spanish liberal press, backed up by French newspapers, and thnt negotiations between Rome and Madrid are proceeding In a most friendly manner. It Is pointed out that all the members of the present Spanish cabinet are good Cath- o)Ir(l The situation between the Vatican and Germany over the Polish question Is be- coming daily more critical and even threat- enlng to endanger the good relation be- tween Kerlln and the holy r.e. Germany In- slsts that the Vatican must help It In re- pressing what It considers to be rebel- lion in Poland, while the Poles are count- in. on the assistance of the pope. The pope will be advised In this matter by Car. dlnal Kopi', Mshop of Broslau. and Car dinal Fisher, archbishop of Cologne, who are expected here shortly. FAItltl, Nov. 11. inc Matin guarantees the authenticity of a story to the effect that Monslgnor Dcramccourt saw the pope last summer and obtained his full and en tire approbation to form cultural associa tions In the diocese of Solsslons.

Prof. Charles Wald stcln, professor of fine arts in King's col lege, Cambridge, England, will arrive here shortly for the purpose of perfecting an agreement with the Italian government concerning the carrying out of his project for the excavation of the ancient city of Hcrculaneum. The professor's plans to this end have been accepted by the Italian government on tho condition that the par ticipation of foreign countries In the work be only under the form of prlvato con tributions ami that theru be no foreign official Interference. Prof. Waldmeln haa secured the active co-operation of King Victor Emmanuel as president of his organization, as well aft that of Emperor William, King Edward and President Roosevelt. The excavation of Herculaneum will be a gigantic enterprise. The work of digging up the ancient city was begun by King Charles III. In 1738, and It was continued under the direction of the Italian govern ment in This excavation has always been attended with the greatest difficulty, as over the ruins of the ancient city there stands today the town of Resina, with 20, 000 Inhabitants. The location of Resina has often made It necessary to abandon the research work. VESUVIUS BECOMES QUIET Oolnma tot Smoke - and Ashes Above the Voleano Is Materially. Diminished- NAPLES. Nov. 11. The column of smoke and ashes above Mount Vesuvius diminished materially today Slight detonations were heard today, but the people are reassured and in long, processions, carrying Images of the Madonna and the saints, they are re-entering their villages. In the churches the people .are returning thanks for their escape from the dangers of an erputlon. Ashes from Vesuvius are falling as far dis tant aa Avellino. eighty miles away. Prof. Matteucl, director of the Royal ob servatory, on Mount Vesuvius, has been called to Naples by the prefect. He con firms his statement made Saturday that he does not think the present disturbance to be the beginning of a new eruption. DENVER. Colo.. Nov 11. The Associ ated Press correspondent at Trinidad, Colo., went to Stonewall, N. M., today to In vestigate the report thut Mount Culebra was In a : state of eruption. He wires that the report Is untrue, that the smoke issuing apparently from the summit of the peak really comas from burning timber on the New Mexico side of the mountain. SPLIT AMOXi IIB A LIBERALS Faction Is Accaaed of Favoring Annexation to United Mates. HAVANA, Nov. 11. A serious split has occurred In the ranks of the liberal party, due to the belief of the more radical ele ment, largely composed of negroes, that Alfredo Zayas Is too friendly with the American, even to the extent of secretly favoring annexation of tho Island by the United StaAw. The leader of tho radical faction, Jo; Miguel Gomes, is now a candi date for the presidency, und is believed to have the support of muny liberals who formerly regarded Zayas as the only logi cal candidato of the party by virtue of his service In organising the recent revolu tion and obtaining . the support of the American peaeo commissioners. Jose Miguel Oomes is reported to have the support ol Juan Gualberto Gomez, who is laid to province of Santl- o. a negro, who is control tlui party In the ago, and Morua icig.Kio, a negro, wiio is all powerful with his race in Havana prov- lnce.

Notwithstanding that the republicans will hove In the neighborhood of fifty majority In the lower house of the Sixtieth con gress, the power of the Independent voter was never so forcefullv exprss-d as dur ing the last election, end tho absence of many of the stalwart ;i -tt. which have been In evidence In for.r.er corgreses, par ticularly on the republican side, will be noticeable. The "Ssge of Athens," as Charles H. Grosvenor has come to be known as well as "Old Probabilities," will he particularly missed, a republican suc ceeding him from the Eleventh Ohio dis trict. General Grosvenor was defeated by Albert Douglass of Chllllcothe In tha pri maries by an exceedingly small majority. Tills left many sores, and In the earliest returns on election night It looked as If the friends of Grosvknor had "knifed" Douglass for his democratic opponent Later returns, however, showed thnt Doiift lass was elected, hut by a small margin. Next to the absence of Grosvenor, that of Joseph W. Babeock of Wisconsin, chairman of the District of Columbia com mittee,' will bo most commented upon. While It was known he had a hard fight In front of him by reason of his continued op position to Senator La Follette it was be lieved Babeock, who Is an exceedingly re sourceful politician, would win out; but the opposition proved too strong and ho is amongst the missing. Babeock came to congress in 1804 and has continuously s&rved in the lower house rver since. He was not only chairman of the District of Columbia committee since lSSfl, but has been a mem ber of the ways and means committee for the last eight years.

W ausorth has been at the head of the com nittee on agriculture for ten years, and It is due largely to his intelli gent knowledge of the agricultural anaira of the country that the department has grown to be the Important aivision of the federal administration which It is today. Ten years ago the budget provided less tnan lor the cxienses of the de partment. The appropriations this year are approximately s,tji),cJi0, or three times as mu-n. Mr. Wadsworth made a closo study of the. work of every bureau of the department ' and made personal examina tions of the accounts of the different bu reaus each year. The biennial "hearings" upon tho appropriation bill are telling wit nesses to the knowledge possessed by the chairman, for they show on each page, through the questions which he submitted to the various bureau and division chiefs, that he always kept himself fully Informed ss to the work and accomplishments of each. It was because of his Insistent In quiries Into the most minute details of the work of the department that he was not cordially loved by some of the scientists. Several of them . contributed to the col umns of the agricultural press and aided in poisoning the minds of the editors of those Journals against Wadsworth. W'adsw forth and the Oleo Tax. In YJW during the tight over the propo sition to Increase the tax on oleomargarine to a prohibitive figure, Mr. Wadsworth, although a large owner in several crcain eiles, declined to be a parly to the move ment.

In the first place Mr. Wadsworth has urged for ten years thnt the cost of Inspection ought to be paid by the packer so long aa Inspection was not compulsory But the comptroller section of tne revises statutes which pro- , worse gradually and at 5 p. m. his condl hlblts the acceptance of voluntary service tion was alarmingly critical. Offers of by the government, it was not competent sympathy and anxiety from iriends in all i"i ai": Ainuimii u'-panment to ap point Inspectors to be paid by the packers. When inrpectlon for all meat food products to be uiaed in interstate commerce was made compulsory in the interest of publio health, Mr. Wadsworth held, and congress stood by him. that the cost of such in spection was a Just and righteous charge against the public revenues. Further than this the president himself declared he op- posed the policy of public payment of in ' spection only because a time might come when tho appropriations would becom lu udequae and lnptloa might fail. But this contingency was met by the increase . .f the appropriation for Inspection fiori RO.OW last year to ItiA'o.C'iO for the cur rent fiscal year.

MEDICAL WOhkjN THE ARMY Somen General frRrlllr Compares Death nil sick Rates mm tioldlcrs of Different Nations. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. The report on the work of the medical depnrtmetit of the army by Surgeon General R. M. O'Reilly, which has Just been made public tit tho War department, goes with grrat detail Into that sen ire during the calendar year 1 and ahio compares the health of the different armies' of tho world as far as twaslble. In view of the differ Vt condi tions In each army. Tho t'nlted States and j' urear Britain art! tne only countries wnom statistic?! Include that part of the army serving outside of tht home country. Many of the countries have u low denth rate be cause their sick are promptly discharged or retired and die out of the service Instead of on the sick report. The highest rate of admission to the sick report is held by the Dutch army, whose rate Is 13 n per thousand men, with the American army ranking second with li.9 and the Russian oj-my holding the lowest rate of S.48 pr thousand men. The British army ranks first In the death rate, with 7.13 per thousand men, the Amer ican army having thi next highest, G.2S. The Prussian army has the lowest rate, two per thousand mon. An Important factor In Judging the rela tive healthfulnes of the different armies Is the average duration of each case of sickness, the American army, according to their standard, e-xcelllng all others excrpt the Dutch and Bavarian. The surgeon general states that the total i number of admissions to the sick report ' during the year was 73,742, equal to an ad- misslon rule of 1.215.97 per thousand men I compared with 1,351.89 for tho previous year and 1,903.31 for the sexennial period from 1K18 to 11103. Thp doath rate was also much better than for the previous year, there being S18 deaths from all causes, equivalent to 6.28 per thousand, as compared with 75 for the previous year. .. As a cause of death tuberculosis led with a rate of .68.-a slight Increase as compared with the previous year. Pneumonia was second, rate .32. In a. chapter devoted to recruiting, the report shows that tha proportion of for eign born white rhcrults was slightly larger than last year, 1W.12 per one thousand as against 1.32 for.1904. As the result of the reduction of -the- minimum age for enlist ment from H years to 18 there resulted an enlistment of 1.270 mti under a) years of age. A comparison of the health of the col ored troops with that of the white troops Is given In the report and with the excep tion of the death rate, all the other rates were lower for the colored troops than for the white troops. In speaking of the healjh of the troops In the Philippines, the report suys that all the rates, except the death rate from dis ease were lower than In 1904. Tuberculosis alone caused nearly B0 per cent of the dis charges and more than 20 per cent of the deaths from disease. Surgeon General O'Reilly stales thut the medical department Is badly In need of officers and that unless congress comes to its assistance it will he impossible for the department to reach a high degree of ef ficiency or to escape tf.

The saloonkeepers Just took the Up and closed their door and. the chief says so far as he knows, kept them closed tight as sealing wax on u tomato can all day.
