FUNHGAuON or IHE MAILS HERE NOT THOUGHT
NECGssABY-woaK IN THE TENEMEHT-RoUsE
DISTRICTS.
Iulesponsc to the communication addressed TO
Professor Chandler, of the Board Of Health, by
Postmaster james in reference to the fumiRatiOn of
mail matter from Memphis and other infected local.
tics, Professor Chandler and DR.. T. G. Janeway Of
the Board of Health, called at the Post Office yes
terday and had a consultation with Colonel James
After considerable conversation Professor Chandler
and DR.. Janeway both expressed the opinion that
the fumigatiOn Of mails at this point IS wholly I'M
necessary They had learned that the work Is thor
oughy done at Memphis. Mails leaving that city
are taken out to the city line by a special engine
and are there fumig ted before being forwarded.
The fumigation IS with birthstone fumes and it is
done In a space q few feet square. An oil dry
goods box is rs good as anything else. The sulphur
is placed in an iron pot within the enclosed space,
and the letters are placed on wire trays, Professor
Chandler SAID that there i very itue danger OF
yellow fever being brought to this city BY means OF
The mails. So far as he has learned there is not
known case of fever having been brought TO this
country bv means of the pais from Havana, where
they always have IT, and he secs no reason TO fear
the southern mails. Colonel James remarked that
ne had made inquire among the oldest employees
IN the Office and could not learn of single instance
OF the fever having been imported through the
rs wonderful said Professor Chandler, " that
we hear 50 much about yellow fever while the pub
lie ray 10 little regard to The 0yapes OF scarlet
fever. Last year 1000 cases OF yellow fever IN the
South aroused the symUathies Of the whole world,
and subscriptions poured IN from a.. Quarters forthe
relief of the sufferers yet there are as many deEtlS
i'm week from SCARED fever. ana we hear little
about 1t. If the public would only support Us, IN
our struggle against scarlet fever as they DO In hat
against Its supposed more deadly rival. we would
soon stamp 1t out People from houses in which
there have been deaths from scarlet fever are
allowed to minge with the masses without the
slightest trecaution. They do not even change
their clothing. The result Is that scarlet ieyerls
spreading in all directions, and the people quietly
acqucsce IN the stGoe Of things"
1.-THE reason Is" replied Dr.. Janeway, " that The
deaths from scarlet feveraro among children priHci-
pally while the Victims of yellow fever are mcn
and women Ii scarlet fever We're as fatal among
adults yellow fever is, the publ" would support
pie of New York need have no fear. The tenement
house districts being thoroughly inspected and
the street cutters carefully disinected On Thurs
day next another corps of viii b. added TO the
disinfectng service and III a few days the tenement
house section of the city will be III healthier con-

THE TROUBLE WITH MR.. DAVIS.
FACTS WANTED IN ORDER TO PROVE THE SPEECH or
THE SENATOR.

WAsmNGroN, July 90" The trouble with
Davis" said one Of the experts of the West Virginia
Senator of that name, ais that he has made
speech aud now wants to find the facts to Justify It,
lie Is bomd to keep us at it until we make the
figures agree with his speech" This was said a
year ago and they are still Eat It,"
Recently tho experts seem to have constituted them
selves an additional auditing bureau Of the Treasury
Department and to have entered upon the examine
ton Of transactions which have taken place since
the committee was organized and to which of course
the senator could not have referred to in his speech
The oxperfs are now understood to be oveThauliug
the records OF the sale Unregistered four per cents AS
there arc orc than 80 900 individual accountstQ be
examined it will be seen that they have secured
long engagement II not peIu luency' .
Probably no one viii care To question the
authority Of the committee TO investigate tronsaG-
lions which have taken place ST. twas organized,
but some inconvenience results nom the fact THAT
the books upon which the experts arc engaged are IN
current use by the clerks OF tho department.
An examination of the testimony thus far taken
disolu.os Inc tact that no member Of the committee
has tho. hit 10 ask the experts directly whether
they have vet found anything which justihes the
work upon which they are engaged.
