M INE STATE Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nortf. Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia Owe Eng lish Seventy-Five Millions--All Bad Debts. ,London, March 29.--Nine southern Itatei of the United States now owe Brttith bondholders a total of more thal $75,000,000, not including interest, on acconnt of debts wh'ch have been in default from 40 to 70 years, accord Ing to a report of the council of the corporation of foreign bondholders. This association, organized 40 years ago to protect the interests of holders of foreign securities, has for many years had 11 foreign states on its black-list, but this year the republic Of Guatemala, under pressure from the foreign office, has resumed pay ments after a default extending over 14 years. "The elimination of Guatemala," says the report, "leaves the unenviable dis tinction of defaulters to the republic o hionduras, and nine states of the ited States of America, namely, Ar kansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia." Not War Debts. It has not been possiole to obtain reliable information with regard to most of these debts, but it is under stood that the loans were contracted for public improvements, and do not include confederate bonds or war debts. With the exception of Alabama's debt, of which no reliable information is obtainable, the amounts owing Brit Ish bondholders are estimated as fol lows: Arkansas ..... ...........................$ 8,700,000 Florida ........ ............................ 7,000,000 Georgia ....... ................ . ....... 12,700,000 Louisiana ..... .................. 6,000,000 M ississippi ...... ....................... 7,000,000 North Carolina ........... ..... 12,600,000 South Carolina ............. . 6.000,000 W est Virginia ...................... 15,239.370 Total ......... ...................$75,239,370 A Deplorable Matter. Of' these debts the report, which is signed by Viscount Goschen, the new chairman, says: "It is indeed deplorable that these prosperous and progressive states of the great American Union take no steps to settle their defaulted debts, and it seems, to say the least of it, an anomaly that the United States should insist on compliance with its obligations by a country like Santo Do minfgo when so many of the states within its own borders are not observ ing their own engagements. "The excuse put forward by these states for non-payment are manifold, but they may be generally classed un der three heads: "1. Nolrth Carolina pleads that her defaulted obligations were contracted while the state was being administered by the federal government after the cifil war. The answer to this, of couarse, is that the bondholders have nothing to do with differences between the states and the federal government. One or the other must be responsible t IJtMET TO EUROPE AS AMERIA'S GOLFER YOUNG CRACK TO ENGLAND TO MEET MEN WHOM HE DE FMATED HERE LAST YEAR. Bloston. March 29.--lF'rancis Ouimet, the youthful holder of the national golf chamnpionship, sailed today for .Europe to match his skill with the best of the European golfers over the famous courses of the British Isles and France. O()n his li1st birlhday the conquerer of the noted IBritish professionals, Vardon and Ray, will be getting in trim for the British amateur championship tournament over the Sandwich course on May 18 and 22. Ouiinet is accompanied by Arthur G. Lockwood, a former Massachusethts amateur champion, who is a native of England. While abroad they will meet Jerome D. Travers, the Al.ltrican -I Iabitual smokers--, of imported Havanas like the General Arthur. It has the taste and flavor of the rich imported Hava nas-but lacks the strength. It gives all.their enjoyment and costs less. Try a General Arthur and be a habituail smoker. -d for the issue of the loa.n in quettioan and it is most unfair that the state should refer its cleditort tb the'fed. eral government and that'the federal government shoutd refer thLem aack again to the state. Tennessee for many years adopted, the same attitude as North Carolina; but the former was wise enough to realize that no state can maintain its position in thie Wbrld of credit which attempts to justify the repudiation of obligations' by excuses which, in the case of individuals, would not be tolerated in any civtlised' court of law, and therefore came to a set tlement with the holders of its bonds. Louisiana's Excuse. "2. Louisiana alleges that there were irregularities of some kind or an other in connection with the issue of most of her repudiated bonds. It would, of course, put an end to all credit if a state, on discovery that its own officials had acted incorrectly in the course of the issue of a loan, repudi ated all responsibility for the money obtained from the public. There is; however one issue, or part of an issue, known as "Baby" bonds, concerning which not even the foregoing excuse can be pleaded. In this case, in spite of the fact that the bonds are expressed on their face to be issued by the state of Louisiana in accordance with the state's constitution, and although they are specially secured on arrears of taxes collectible by the state, which, it is admitted, were diverted to other. purposes, payment is denied on the astonishing plea that the bonds were not guaranteed by the state. Mississippi Hard Put. "3. Mississippi's excuse for not rec ognizing her defaulted debt is 'the worst of all. Between 1831 and 1838 the state issued two loans, for which she obtained full value and the pro ceeds of which were invested in the establishment and development of two banks. So long as the banks flourished and made good profits the interest on the loans was paid; but when, owing to over-speculation, bad times came and the banks got into difficulties, Mississippi made this the excuse for ceasing all further payments to the bondholders. For a state to repudiate its obligations to its creditors because the investments it chooses to make with their money do not turn out pro fitably is absolutely indefensible, and, as far as the council are aware, such, an argument has never been resorted to by even the most backward of the Spanish-American republics." The report intimates that a proposal is now before the foreign office to se cure a settlement of the claim against Honduras, but very little hope is en tertained of it being successful. The amount due by Honduras, including interest is roughly $121,000,000. As no interest has been paid since 1872, and the rate on two of the loans was 10 per cent the amount is largely made up of unpaid interest. amateur champion, and Frederick Herreshoff, who has twice been run nerup for that title. It will be the first appearance of American amateur and open golf champions together in British championship play. "I am going to have a good time, play to the best of my ability and not worry over how the other fellow is doing," Ouimet said. REPUBLICANS MEET. Lincoln, Neb., March 29.-Members ) of the two factions of the republican party In Nebraska began gathering in Lincoln tonight for the meeting to morrow afternoon called with the in tention of amalgamating the antag onistic forces and promoting bhar morny in the coming campaign.

Mexico City, March 29.-The failure of Huerta to restore peace and good government to Mexico has convinced the better citizens of the republic that former President Diaz, after all, was the man to rule the country. Many regard him now as the greatdst states man Mexico ever had. Even` if it be admitted, for the sake of argument, that Diaz was a failure, tihat hb allowed the poor to be op pressed, that he permitted the coun try to be preyed upon by the thievish cientificos, that he did not do scores of things for the uplifting of his peo 5pe that he might have done-admit thrg all this, Diaz did give the country a generation of abs6lute peace. He compelled the people-much against their wll-fto behave them selves. During practically all the years of the Diaz regime revolutions were very unpopular in Mexico. When three years ago he stepped down and out railway communication was sate and uninterrupted in almost, every section of the republic. Trains were running directly and' without in terference from the capital to the United States border by 'way of El Paso, Laredo and Eagle Pass. Tele graphic and postal communication was constant into all save a few re mote districts. Mails arrived from and departed to the United States daily. Government revenues were but littler below normal. The National railwatys were in receipt of revenues in excess of their expenses. Taxes were not burdensome. Business was good, far better than it would have been in the United States under similar circum stances. The interest on the national debt was being paid regularly. Mex Ico's credit was still good in the for eign money markets. An almost un limited amount of money could have been borrowed by the treasury. Death Rate After Forty Increasing (Editor's note.-Albert E. Wiggam, the well-known journalist and lecturer, has written a series of articles for this newspaper on the general subject of eugenics. Mr. Wiggam has studied the subject many years and is regarded as an authority, although many scien tists differ with him on important points.) By ALBERT E. WIGGAM. Race deterioration is upon us. We are a dying race. The death rate above 40 is increasing. The. accompanying table from the work of E. E. Ritten house, the great actuary of the Metro politan Life Insurance company, puts this beyond all cavil. There has been since 1880 a decrease in the death rate up to 35 years of age. At this point it has remained practically stationary. Above 35 all of the triumphs of mod ern science have been helpless to effect a decline in the prospects of death. At age 40 the American people are dying 13 per cent faster than their grand fathers. We are showing less average vitality than our grandparents, who knew not medicine, who were guiltless of bathtubs, who hibernated through the winter, who swallowed microbes by the billions, who never knew the un happy loss of what my negro neighbor calls the "uniform appendix," and who were never laid on the operating table to wake up and find half their anato mies and all their pocketbooks had been removed. Above the age of 50 the death rate has run up 29 per cent. Above 60 it is greater by over 26 per cent. Now, my friend of 40, do not bdelis. couraged. You have no greater prob ability of dying than if you had at tained the age of 40 or 50 in your grandfather's day. These statistics do not mean that it has been discpvered that you are about to be laid on the Shelf or beneath the daisies. It means that from some cause the average vitality of the American peo ple is weakening. The diseases of the kidneys, heart and blood vessels, the' so- called habit diseases, have gone up 104 per cent within 30 years. Please note the main increaseo is in the habit diseases. Then if you wish long life you had better change your habits. What is the cause of all this? Mr. Rittenhouse will allow but one. The rush and stress and tear of modern life. If this be the sole cause, then we need not be alarmed. It does not mean a genulne loss of inherited vigor. It would not mean our deseendents would be any weaker. The voice of aetence is thbt "you can kilt the indi1 vidual, b 'you', pannot tre nash the sacreA stream 9t here4Itag Anything These conditions prevailed during the Madero .regime, Whlcih ended 14 months ago.

Taxes have been increased 50 per cent, 60 you acquire is not inherited as such by your children. But biologists believe there are other t large causes of the increasing death I rate far more alarming than the wear I and tear of our ral id life. Hygiene, altruism, charity, medical t science for at least 75 years have been preserving the unfit and weaklings on an enormous scald. Their chiliTren are now coming to maturity amongst uu. A hundred years ago nature acted like a life insurance company. She took those who had a door prospect of life and sternly weeded them out. Now to day the insurance company examines the puny of body and merely rejects them.
