The United Statei during the century Just closed has been regarded at a peaceful nation and yet over one-third of the enormous cost of war paid by all the nations has fallen on her. The dis bursements by the United States treas ury ou account of the Civil War from July 1, 18G1. to June SO. 1879, amounted to 10,187,2-13,385. Thomas E. Wilson, In the Review of the Republic, esti mates that the additional Civil War disbursements tor debt, Interest aud pensions from June 80, 1879, to July I. 1900, amounted to $3,904,838,775, mak ing a total Federal expenditure of $10,- 092,082,100. The disbursements of the Confederate government exceeded $3, 000,000,000 for the mere maintenance of armies In the field. Mr. Wilson esti mates tnat the governmental expendi tures on both sides in the Civil War will, when the books are closed, amount to $17,772,000,000, aud that the Individ ual losses during the war amounted to $30,000,000,000. Flaclug the cash ex penditures of the United States In the Civil War at $17,722,000,000, In the Spanish war at $500,000,000 and In the war of 1812, the Mexican war and the Indian wars at $300,000,000, Mr. Wil son makes the total contribution of the United States treasury to the war fund for the century $18,772,000,000. It la estimated that Napoleonic wars from 1793 to 1815 cost $3,250,000,000; the war between Russia and Turkey to 1828, $100,000,000; the war between Spain and Portugal, from 1830 to 1840, $250,000,000; the war between France and Algeria, from 1830 to 1847, $190,- 000,000; civil war In Europe In 1848, $50,000,000; the Crimean war. $1,126,- 000,000; the war In 1859 between France and Austria, $225,000,000; the war of 1800, between Prussia and Aus tria, $100,000,000; the war between Germany and France In 1870 and 1871, $1,580,000,000; the war of 1877, be tween Russia and Turkey, $050,000,000; the war between France and Mexico In 1875, $75,000,000; between Brasll and Paraguay, In 1804 to 1870, $250,000,000 These figures are from Mulhall, and In clule only direct government expenses, It Is estimated that the minor wars of Great Britain In India, Egypt and Afri ca have cost $2,000,000,000. The Boet war has already cost England $500,000,- 000. France's minor wars have cost $1,- 000,000,000, and Spain has spent In va J rlous wars $0,000,000,000. On these statements presented by Wilson and Mulhall, manifestly incom plete and unfair, the United States Civ il War cost more by $7,00,000,000 than ten European wars, and the wart of the South American republics have cost more than all the Russian wars In Asia. The total expenditures of civilised na tions for war In the century are put at $49,008,000,000. compiains os a uoti rt luower.

Other passengers were badly injured by jumping to es cape the flames, which swept the full length of the tar, being carried by the wind. . 'The car was making a retnrn'trip tn the Brooklyn bridge from the Ridgeway picnic park. It was loaded to the utmost limit, the- conductor's register showing 1 10 passengers, when there was a report that was heard three blocks in all directions, and which almost lifted the car from the track. A fuse had burned out, and ' a flame caught the woodwork and also buret through the motor box. This flame was carried up over the front dash board, and b.dng caught by the draft caused by the speed of the car, swept back, burning all who were unable to throw themselves into the street. The motorman, although much injured, stuck bravely to his post NO KINONESS TO CHINA. Appeal for Scaling Down Indemnity Not Welcome. London, June 25. The Pekin corre spondent of the Times, commenting on the question whether the payment of the Chinese indemnity to the foreign powers should be made in gold or silver, says the American interpreta tion of the protocol meets with no ap proval from the other governments con cerned and that a reconsideration would show the United States that no service is done to China by listening to her appeal.

FILIPINOS QUICK TO LEARN. Two-Thirds of the Civil Positions Now filled by Them. Washington, June 25. Hon. Leo W. Pepperman, member of the Philippine! civil service com in ins ion, is in the city, having arrived on leave of absence from Manila. Mr. Pepperman today said "The scope of the commission has been extended gradually until it now coven 6,000 positkma.ranging in salary from $15 per month to $7,700 per year." He says the immediate award to suc cessful applicants has cauwd a change in trie old classical system of education under the old Spanish regime to one of more modern charact.tr, based largely on practical busines-i lines. So great is the interest of the Filipinos in acquir ing a knowledge of English that 10.000 adults are going to night schools in Mauila. Before the American advent in Manila typewritten were almost un known in the Philippines, but at every examinstion held by the commission applicants are qualifying in typewriting and stenography.. Of the 6,000 posi tions' mentioned, 4.000 are held bv natives, the remainder by Americans. The policy of the commission. Mr. Pepperman says, has been to replace Amei icans by Filipinos as "rapidly ns possible. "Under Spanish rule, ' he tontin- ued, "women were unheard of in the government service, but before I left Manila three Filipino young ladies had passed successful examinations and had been given good positions. The Fili pino makes a splendid clerk. Shortly liefore coming to America I made a tour of the principal provinces for the 'pur pose of conducting examinations. It was surprising how much good material was discovered, considerina the fact that the education of the islands is cen tered in Manila.' . NO TREATY WITH CUBA. Timt Too Short Before End of Session to Negotiate One Washington, Jrne 25. It has been determined that no reciprocity treaty with Cuba can be submitted at the present session of congress'. It was at first planued that, in the event of the failure of the administration managers in the senate to secure favorable action on the Cuban sugar bill, a treaty would be drafted at once. This was on the understanding that Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister here, had full power and that a treaty could be drawn up in Washington entirely. It is stated now, however, that this cannot be done, and that any draft of a treaty must go to Havana and be returned be fore it can be submitted to the senate. This, of course, cannot be accom plished in the short space of time in tervening before adjournment, if the estimates of the leaders that congress will adjourn by July 4 are correct. No confidence is felt in administra tion circles aa to the ability of the sen ate managers to secure the ratification of a treaty, eveu if one is drawn, and while the president may feel called upon to put the matter to a test,' it w ill be lather with the idea of demonstrat ing his own purpose to do everything possible for Cuba than in any expecta tion that a two-thirds vote for ratific a tion could be received. DEBATE WARMS UF. Philippine Discussion In tht Mouse Becomes Lively. Washington, June 25. Some routine bnsiness preceded the resumption of the debate on the Philippine civil gov ernment bill in the house yesterday. Bills were passed to make Great Falls, Mont., the port of entry for the collec tion district comprising Montana and Idaho; to authorize the secretary of war to issue duplicates of certificates of discharge instead of certified copies as provided under the present law; to ex tend the privileges of transportation of dutiable merchandise without ap praisement to the sub-ports of Tacoma and Seattle, Wash. A resolution was adopted calling upon the secretary of war for informa tion as to the payments made by Guy ernor General Wood to F. B Thnrber and any other person or coiporation, together with the dates and accounts oi such payments, for advocating re ciprocity with Cuba. The consideration of the Philippine civil government bill was then resumed aud DeArmond, of Mo., made a general speech in opposition to the policy of re taining the islands. He was followed by Oimstead, Groevenor and Mahon favoring their retention. These speech es were answeied by Bartlett, after which the- house adjourned until 8 o'clotk in the evening, when a number of speeches were made for and against the measure under consideration.

Fire caused by 'b overturning of a lantern in a stable KING EDWARD ILL CORONATION HAS BEEN INDEF INITELY POSTPONED. An Operation Performed King Stands It Well and Will Probably Recover No Date Set for Ceremonies London's Decora tions are Being Removed and Stands Dt snollihtd Ctmt as a Surprise. London, June 25. With dramatic suddonness the king has been stricken down upon the eve of his coronation. He now lies in a critical state at Buckingham palace, and the coronation has been indefinitely postponed. Sir Francis Knollys, the king's private secretary, issued the following official announcement joSoiday afternoon:- "The king is suffering from perityph litis. His condition on Saturday was so satisfactory that it was hoped that with care his majesty would be able to go through the ceremonies. . On Mon day .evening -a recrudeeence became manifest, rendering a surgical opera tion necessary today." Two hours later the following bulle tin was posted at Buckingham palace: The operation has been succesnfully performed. - A large abscess has been evacuated. The king has borne the operation well, and is in a satisfactory condition." There is no question, however, that the king's condition is extremely criti cal. King Edward is in a room facing the beautiful gardens of Buckingham palace, and far from the street and the crowd. If last night's progress is maintained, he will probably tide over the effects of his severe 6peration, which successfully removed the local trouble. But should any complication occur, such as septic peritonitis or blood poisoning, it is feared his majes ty's present physical and nervous con dition would prove unequal to the strain involved. 'There is consequently intense anxiety as to the outcome.- The king's doctors believe that his majesty would have boen dead . before now except for the operation. His condition became so alarming that at one time it was feared death might ensue before the surgeon's knife could afford him relief. Intense swelling of the extremities, accompanied by alarming symptoms of mortification, constituted the emergency, and de manded ah immediate operation. To the lant the king tried to avoid this, and he was willing to be carried to the abbey for the coronation ceremony in order that it should occur as arranged. The influence of Queen Alexandra was enlisted, however, and at an early hour yesterday morning the royal pa tient was prepared for the operation, which even in the skillful hf.ndB of England's best surgeons was fraught with grave danger. Queen Alexandra is terribly upset and nervous. The royal grandchildren were driven to the palace shortly after o clock yesterday afternoon. The Prince and Princess of Wales remained at Buckingham palace throughout the afternoon and when they left they ap peared decidedly more cheerful than on their arrival. The best opinion seems to be that no less than three months' postponement of the coronation is inevitable, and even in the event of the kinu's recovery, the crowning of his majesty will cer tainly be shorn of all its arranged-for glories. In the streets the change which came over the crowds was most pronounced. Traffic seemed momentarily paralyzed and it was long before the full efftct of the startling intelligence was felt. The work of demolishing the stands and all the paraph rena I ia prepared for the coronation is in full swing. Hun dreds of workmen, who, yesterday morning, were engaged in putting the finishing touches on the various jobs, are now at work tearing down all tint had taken weeks to aciomplinh. The loss of the insurance companies will be heavy, as great numbers of commercial companies and private individual had taken out policies to cover them from the loss of receipts from standx and the cost of decorations in the event of the coronation not being held. TORONTO STRIKE ENDED. Street Railway Employe Agree to a Com promise Begin Work at Once. Toronto, June 26.
