THE SANITARY CON FnRENon
Secretary shermsn's Objections Likely
to Prove Fatal to the Scheme.

" WNsuINGToN, June 26.-The letter
which Secretary Sherman addressed To
Secretary Evarts regarding the proposed
International Sanitary Conference, IL
likely 20 prove fatal To the scheme OF
establishing universal sanitary regula-
tinns. The Secretary OF State recognizes
the force oi the suggestion that 1t would
be absurd iur the United States To invite
foreign powers to "A conference for the
purpose oi establishing regulations
which the United States could not en-
force in the States. Secretary Sherman
called attention 10 the fact that
not even the present Board of
Health officials could compel state
or | cal authorities 10 comply with
the national health regulations. In all
matters.oi health and quarantine the
State has been given paramount author
ity. Ii would, therefore, appear rldlcu-
lous iur the United States government
TO seek 10 establish universal health laws
when il has not the power Ia enforce
those laws within It's own territory. The
Assistant Secretary of State said this
afternoon that while the matter had not
been definitely decided, he thought that
the result would be- that an lnterna-
tional Conference would be called, 10
which foreign nations would be in
yited 10 send representatives, simply
TO confer and possibly 10 recon-
mend the adoption OF a
system of general health regulations.
The Department Of State has already ne.
Ceived information that England would
like 10 send representatives tren all her
colonies, and as other governments may
wish to DO likewise, the day for the con-
ference will probably be postponed un-
Ill October or November next The
JOINT resolution authorizing the Presi-
dent to call such conference WAS pre-
pared by the Board OF Health officials,
who believe that Notwithstanding the
objection raised by the Treasury De
partmen', the conference would result
in great benefit TO the world at large,
even II nothing more Was done than ~
discuss matters Of health. The confer
ence viii meet here. aI

The Yield Of Wheat Exceeding
That Of Last Year-GOOd Prom
iss of Other Grains.

CoLrNBrs. q, June 28-The wheat
crop which il now being harvested IN
Ohio will, without doubt, be the largest
one ever raised in the State. la the
early Spring il was predicted by many
sbreyd observers that the crop would
fall below that harvested last year. but
th. only basis for such An opinion rested
on the lact that the statistics showed
that three successive heavy crops OF
wheat were unknown; that the third
wear the crop had always proved . fail

are hardly able 10 credit the reports re.
c-iyed from all parts Of the State 10 the
effect ths, the crop this year is fully n
gooSs AZ, and in some regions better
than, the yield Of 1879. which was the
largest by over 100000 bushels that
had ever been harvested ia the state.
In 1873 and 1879 there were some cases
of blight, but this season not . single
report Of any damage from any source
has been made, and now that the wheat
il ripe and being harvested, inyest'ga-
ton shows there could have been no
reason whatever Tor complaint On the

CENSUS CORRECTION.
The Remedy Provided by the Law for fe-
yising the Lists.

WASHINGTON, June 70. - General
Walker, Superintendent OF the census,
saws that he has no official information
from the supervisors respecting the com
plaints that the enumeration IN any Oh
the cities was not satisfactory, IL the
pnblic are not satisfied they have the
only remedy in the law, which requires
supervisors to expose duplicate lists IN
the offices of the county courts lOr pup
lie inspection and correction. lie says
ne will see that the public are satisiled,
if they will take the means provided
by the law for the re-
vision of the lists. Inc
superintendent to-day received letter
from a gentlemen in 81. Louis alinding
to the dissatisfaction with the results oi
the enumeration in that city. The pop,
ulaticn in 1870 was three hundred ana
ten thousand, and 10y the enumeration
of 1880 will not exceed three hundred
and fhv thousand. He says he Will
take no steps IN the matter unless IL be
shown 10 him cOncluSivcly that there
WAS gross delinquency which cannot De
rcmcdird by the means suggested. Ills
experience, he says, has not given HIM
"A very high opinion OF popular statistics
