Fever in this Country,

| WAsIL,NGToN, July 2l.--Thc history Of
yellow lever in this country shows that it has
mover prevailed in an epidemic form in any
locality with m elevation Of 500 feet above
tho sea. Dr.. Drake, in his- work, fixes
limit to tho fever Mt 400 feet in the United
States. Fort Smith, in Arkansas, 400 feet
above tho son, is the highest point at which
| thoro has bccn an epidemic. This was in
1873. Cascs wcro reported at Winchester, Va,
700 feet above tho sea, in 1902, but in this
justancc it is not we'll authenticated epi-
demic. A chart giving the points at which
yellow tovcr has boon treated, with altitude
OF tho localities, shows that it has boon at
st. Louis, 475 feet; Louisville $50; Cincinnati,
$50; Oallipolis, Ohio, $40, and Bald Eoclo
Valley, Pa, $50 feet above the sea. These.
with Winchester, arc tho highest points
it has ever reached; yet the history of tho
fever ut these places proves that it did not
obtain rs al cpidomic, and that no now cases
wore developed, the ones recorded being those
brought from lower elevations. Memphis is
2G0 and Vicksburg l75 foot above tho sen.
During the Inst hundred years thoro havo

ton desired by the dominant party in Con-


gress should be effected by the passage Of sep
arate measure by the incorporation of the
repeating clauses in Appropriation bills. 1t was
determined, after discussion, that the latter
course would be the most expedient. The next
question considered was whether the political por-
tons OF the Appropriation bills should now be
passed in the same terms in which they were passed
at the last session. whether the repeating auses
in regard to the Federal Election laws should be
modified SO as to repeal only those sections
which authorize the appointment of Chief
Supervisors and Deputy N1arshals for elections, to-
gether with the sections comforting police powers
on Supervisors, thus continuing the authorization
for the appointment Of two Supervisors of different
politics serve in testimonial capacity at each
poll as witnesses OF the count Of votes After an
exhaustive discussion, it was decided to recon-
mend the adoption of modified proposition.
The joint meeting also considered whether
the legislation OF the present session be strictly
confined to the Appropriation bills, including the
measures above indicated. whether general bust
ness should be transacted by either house when
not engaged ON all Appropriation bill. decided
majority favored the restriction to the Appropria
