Conflict or Laws in Havana.

It is perhaps kind on the part Of the
Spanish government to instruct the United
States Consul at Havana as to what his
duties are and how he shall perform them
but if the instructions so given are in con-
fict with those Of the government at Wash
ington, and particularly if they presume to
override those laws Of Congress which
impose a certain function upon consular
officers, then the Consul will perhaps have
to neglect the instructions of His Iberian
Majesty; or if that goes hard with him he
may resign. BY law approved June 2,
1879, it is made the duty of United
States consuls or officers attached to consul
lates to supply every ship sailing for port
of the United States with q certificate ''sct-
ting forth the sanitary history of said
vessel" certificate to the medical au-
thorities as the ordinary consular certifi-
cate is to the Treasury officials
and any ship from port where
an infectious or contagious disease exists
which shall enter port of tho United
States without such certificate is made
liable to fino of ono thousand dollars. In
Havana it appears that the proper enforce
ment of this excellent law troubles the
owners of old infected ships, and they have
obtained the promulgation of a decree
which attempts to cripple this supervision.
Bills Of health, as the decree runs, shall be
issued only by the Spanish authorities, and
'foreign consuls must limit their interven-
ton to certifying the signatures and de-
ola oh fho ikov ~
condition of the port" This, it will be
seen, is not difference Of form. It is q
radical issue. Foreign consuls ''must
| limit" their action to point short Of that
which is required of United States con-
suls by q law of Congress. This Spanish
decree is nero impertinence. Tho Span
ish government may, if it chooses,
withdraw the exequatur Of any consul or
send all consuls out Of the country, but
while they are there they are the servants
of the government that sends them and do
the things it orders them to do. II the law
OF June put upon consuls any duty that
is outside the proper function of such
officials as recognized by international law,
this might give color Of right to this
OpanlSu uecree. DuC IL mas not uOne This.
Our consuls are present in Spanish cities
by treaty right, and the treaty of 1895 guar
antees them in the privileges Of con-
suls of the most favored nations---puts
them, in fact, on the ordinary basis
of the laws of consulates. From the earli-
est institution Of this Office its least dis
puted function has been to watch over the
commercial interests Of the nation that
supports it, to 'police commerce" in the
interests of that nation. Our Consul in
Havana does no more than this under the
law If Spanish interference stops him,
or if our government is compelled to with
draw the consul, then Spanish captains
may take the other side OF the case and
pay for every visit to an American port
without the Consups sanitary certificate
the sum Of one thousand dollars. That
would stop traffic for time, keep out the
yellow fever certainly and it might be of
some use to sugar growers in Louisiana

THE WEATuER.--The movement of the storm
centre was very rapid during the past twenty
four hours, and its course was nearly north
castcrly. 1t is now over the lower lake regions,
and the pressure within it il very low Its area,
however, has contracted considerably, owing to
the influence OF the high areas to the northeast
and northwest of 1t. The barometer is rising
steadily throughout the Gulf and South western
States, while in the Northwest IL large area of
high pressure has made its appearance, domi-
mating the wcathcrin all the districts west of tho
Mississippi Valley. The high area that is off
tho Middle Atlantic coast is likely to cause
tho gradients for southeasterly to south
westerly winds to become steep over the
northern portions of the Middle Atlantic and the
New England States. Rain fell in the lower
lake regions, central valleys and on the South
and Middle Atlantic coast districts In the
other sections of the country the weather was
generally fair. The temperature fell decidedly
ia all the districts except in the Gulf States.
whore it remained nearly stationary. The winds
have been brisk in the lower lake regions. the
Middle Atlantic States aud the Northwest and
fresh elsewhere. Reports from the Middle Allan
tic States coast stations say that severe storm
prevailed during the early part of last night
particularly in the vicinity of Sea Girt, N. j.
The disturbance the centre of which is passing
to the west of district is likely to prove
very severe on the New England and Nova
Scotia coasts this evening and Tomorrow. Ships
bound for Europe will meet strong southcrly to
south westerly winds north of latitude 10 dur
ing the next few days. and after that time the
winds will veer to the northwest. The weather
,vcr the British Islands is unsettled and gales
are blowing ut many stations. Tho weather in
New York and it's vicinity today will be cool
and cloudy, with rain in the early portion, fol-
lowed by clearing Tomorrow 1t will be cooler

health, even in the incipint stages of any
disease or ailment, if you but examine your
flock carefully. The comb of teach fowl is
a true index to the workings Of their sys-
TENS. If they be in i'll health, the comb
will lose coler and will become far less firm
in texture !; as the malady increases the COL
or decreases, till very sick bird will show
comb almost devoid of scarlet color, being
of a livid dull crimson, or else pale or ashy
i'll appearance. If the cholera or any dis
case should come into the flock, carefully
examine the combs of each bird, morning
ald night, and all those which are wanting
in that bright, rich color which denotes
perfect health, remove at once from the
flock to place remote; where they should
at once be put under medical treatment.
The comb Of the fowl is an honest index
of the true inwardness, and should daily be
consulted by the fancicr who values the
health and well being of his flock. Look
at the comb Of a laying hen or pulet She
is in the height of health and strength and
carries her uniailing sign Of healthfulness
or her head, in the shape of blood-red,
bright and full comb y vigorous cock or
cockercl will carry the same sign, though
