A Theory.

\ gentleman in Savannah proposes the
clloyinr novel theory for the prev ention of
yellow fever:
He proposes to build in the central part of
rbe rty. a chimney one hundred and fifty
feet HIGH having Aue four feet square
through it. A steam engine, of, say, two
hundred horse power. would create down
ward draft, bringing the pure air, eircula-
ling high above the malaria, down to the
,Irfh, to be- then received in air vessels,
similar to sasometors, and from thence dis
,ributed though pipes over the city and into
each bed room to he turned on by faucet,

man saws further that by this means he can
reduce the temperature of room from 100
degrees down to is degrees in twenty min
ME-. and fever is said never to exist in q
temperature below 20 degrees. lie main
,ains that the object would be accomplished.
II would seem that the fixtures would be
useful ONLY in summer: but the same gentle
man suggests that by building large hre,
the air could be heated and used in the
same manner before described, and thus
avoid the necessity of fires in crates

Mr.. Mason moved to take up the Amlstad

he thought it would lead to less debate.
Mr.. Seward said that he would have to
support his minority report IN the Amlstad
case, which might occupy considerable time
The Indiana Senatorial question being ia

favor of the admission of Messrs. Lane and

Investigating Committee, thas appeared that

Mr.. Soaring resides. The statement further
asserts that the testimony shows that labor
ers employed at the navy-yard were taken
there to do the painting.
Mr.. Soaring pronounced the statement a
base and vile Islander, perprtrated by sui
basrr correspondent, and called on the chair
man Of the committee. Mr. Sherman, OF Ohio,
to state whether any such charge had been
made to the committee.
Mr.. Sherman replied that no such evidence
had been given, nor had any information
impIicating the gcntleman's character, III
any manner, been elected by the investisa-
ton. He said. further. that the committee
had ,tudiously avoided giving any Informal

they would report the results Of their lahors.

Of the bill for the admission of Oregon. which
was advocated by Mcssrs. Clark, of Mo-. and

Letter from Washington.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore Sun.
No differences in favor ola revision ofthe pre-
sent tariff, at this session, can be drawn from
the proceedings and votes of the caucus OF
democratic members Of the House, held last
night. On the contrary. As far rs the sent!'
ment Of the body was expressed on the sub,
iect, it was adverse to any change. One OF
those who took n prominent part IN this and
in the preceding caucuses, declares that there
is no more chance Of increasing the tariff at
this session than there is Of oyerturning the
capitol.
From the reports which have seen Of the
proceedings of the caucus, there is an impor,
tant oniissiOn--the resolution of Mr.. kunkle
and the vote thereon. Mr.. Kunkle's resolu-
sion declared that the tariff of 1857 ought to
be so modified as to provide revenue OF sixty
millions ofdollars. Upon this proposition not
more than half dozen voted in the afirma-
tive. There were so few votes for il that tell
ers were not ordered But the resolution Of
fered by Mr.. Crawford, Of Ga.. declaring that
it is expedicnt to alter the tariff law of 1857,
received twentv-eight votes, the negative
vote being only thirty-one. Thus there was
majority Of only three against this resoIu-
ton.
Ii is true that the action Of the caucus de-
termines nothing. and that an attempt will
be made for its revision The general i'm
preston is that if any project of revision can
be carried. it must be the simple one OF a
return 70 the tariff Of 1916. For discrmi-
mating and iudicious revision of the tariff.
there is no time and no preparation at this
session. Ii was well said by Mr.. Clay, OF
Kentucky. that the time is too short to nd,
Just the tariff during the present session, and
tha: the temporary wants of the government
should lie relieved by loan.
The caucus did adopt resolutions in favor
of Il reduction Of the expenditure. a. low as
possible. consistently with the interests OF
the public service This amounts to less
than may be supposed, becaus" it is to be
presumed that no estimates are sent to Con
grcss for appropriations not necessary ior
the public service.
