' According to a census of Mexico recently completed, the population of that country is 12,547,057, a gain of a little over 900,000 since 1891, when the last census was taken.

Mr. Honeycutt, of Ackansas, has got himself into trouble because he quieted the cries of a little child of his housekeeper by slapping.it on the head and shaking it hard enough to break its neck.

Those represent ing the characters were Misses Florence Hanby, Lessie Leach, Ethel Parmele, Janie Home, Minnie Perdew, Lma Craft and Mr. H. E. Bonitz.

FORTIFICATIONS BILL TO BE P-RTED TO THE" SENATE. RE- 1 It Appropriates $87,000,000 Coast De fenoM for a Bomber cf Important - Oiaea Tha Appropriation to Be Paid - Oav. in jlnnual ilnitalliaente-Honto I Special to the Baltimore Sun. - Washington, v February 11. It is understood the Senate Committee on Coast Dslences have practically matured a measure providing lor the effective fortification of twenty-four of the princi pal seaboard cities of the country, as recommended by a board of army offi cers, and, appropriating a larger sum for the purpjCS) than was ever before in cluded in a similar measure. Senator Squire, chairman of the committee, hopes for a unanimous report favorable to his' bill, and wishes to report it to the Senate either Wednesday or before the end of thfr weekr 4 round numbers the bill authorizes the War Department to expend nearly eighty seven million dollars in protecting the seaboard of both the Atlantic and Pacific, and names the locations where, the fortifications are to be placed. Bal timore and Washington are included in the list, and each, under the terms of the bill, will be .given tuch defences as to make them invulnerable to attacks of the strongest flit t of battleships. Fort Monroe and Richmond will be amply fortified, and every city that could be reached by a squadron of vessels carry ing guns of sufficient power to be capable of great destruction will be Eflbrded full protection if the bill is fortunate enough to be finally approved bv both Houses. , ' WILL PASS THE SENATE, The leading members of the commit tee are confident of its passage through the Senate, and believe the sentiment ot the House is favorable to liberal appro priations for defences, but a little doubtful of the bill in its entirety going through in view of Mr. Reed's orders for reductions in appropriations by all com mittees.. The question of the saf ety of the country from foreign attack is not one in which politics will enter, the committee asserts, and there would be no question of a large appropriation this session tut for the warnings given by Mr. Reed and Senator Allison for cur tailment of expenses. Politics enters, of course, into this policy, as neither branch wishes to go before the country with a record of extravagance. CITIES TO BE FORTIFIED. - The cities named in the bill for which provision is made are New York San Francisco, Boston, the lake ports, Hamp ton Roads, New Orleans. Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Portland, Me., Rhode Island ports, in Narraganset bay, Key West, Charleston, Mobile, New London, Savannah, Portland, Ore., Pen sacola, Wilmington, N. C, Portsmouth, N. H., defences of Cumberland sound at Fort Clinch, defences of ports oi the Kennebec river at ' Fort Pophamr New Bedford, defences of ports on the Penob scot river, Maine, at tort Knox and New Haven, Puget sound and other such ports as, in the judgment of the Chief of Engineers and the Secretary of War, may require permanent works ol iortincatton. YEARLY APPROPRIATIONS. For this purpose the bill authorizes an expenditure of $87,000 000, as follows: For the fiscal year ending June 80, $1, 500,000; the following year, $5 500,000, and for each fiscal year thereafter for the period of ten years $8:000.030. The purchase for sites for fortifica tions are to be substantially in accord ance with the recommendations of the fortifications board, w.th such modifica tions as are made in the more extended study of the individual projects. The money is to be apportioned among the various ports in accordance with the consolidated estimate of the cost of the defence in so lar as may be most eco nomical and expedient, and the work is to begin at the same time at all ports. The proportion c f the sums to be ex pended each year oy the engineers and ordnance officers is to be determined by the Secretary of War.

Sucosaaful Operation Performed on a Poor Seams iret Whose litre Was Despaired Of Sirat Beatflaiary ot tne Central Boentgen Photograph AasoaUtton . of Beilin XxsraoUtUuc Tortarea Believed. VCaplt to N. V. our nal Berlin, Feb. 10. The Central Roent gen Photograph Association, which, as I cabled you last week, was in course of organization for the purpose of promot ing experiments with the cathode ray, has already established a large labora tory in Berlin. To-day the first Berliner to benefit by the wonderful discovery of Dr. Roent gen was a poor young seamstress, who bad swallowed a needle last week. Every day of her existence since seemed an age of agony. Her physician despaired of her case, as the poor wo man could not retain the lightest food food on her stomach. Since Saturday morning she crew steadily worse. Fre- quently spells of vomiting increased her unenauraoie tortures. 1 X It was also noticed that the patient expectorated ' tlood early morningf, wbtch caused the doctor to surm se that the needle was imbedded somewhere in the lining of the stomach, causing . a fljw of blood at every sudden move ment.- - The physician called an eminent sur geon of the University staff in consul tation, who did not believe that her life could be saved, as her Incessant expec torations of blood gave evidence of con siderable u ceration having ensued. It was determined as a dernier resort to bring the patient to the Roentgen labo ratory in the hope that the X ray would locate the needle, and that the same might be extracted without endangering the young woman's life. To the great oy of all interested the experiment at the laboratory this after noon proved a brilliant success. , A camera bolder containing a sensi tized plate was placed against a heavy block ol wood at one side of the bared breasts of the patient, who in order to secure a steady position was bound to the back of a heavy oaken chair. When all was in readiness the electric light was turned on, and after five min utes the current was cut off, the bandage loosened and the plate taken to the dark room for development- All felt highly gratified at the results. as the plate plainly showed every bone of the upper part of the body, and the needle was found lying point downward in the lower right angle of the stomach. its position accounted lor the patient s loss of b!ood, as it wou'd puncture the flesh whenever she would get up from the chair or bed. ' surgeons oeing present, it was re solved to remove the needle at once. The oatient was placed under the influence ot chloroform and the cause of her ex cruciating sufferings, which threatened her Hie, was taken from the stomach by skilful surgical manipulations. The patient is doing well to-night and is pronounced entirely out of danger. APPOINTMENTS Wilmington District-W. B,Snr. P. B. Elizabeth circuit, Singleton February lotn and letn.
