PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE REFUGEES.

A COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY FINDS MUCH TO CONDEMN.
The General Relief Committee for the Arkansas
refugees met yesterday in the rooms OF the Young
Mems Union Christian Association, at No. 122 West
T. b. Reed T. s. P. Miller, G, F.. Jones, the Rev. ID;
w. Wi her and c. +. Lawson, which was appointed
st previous meeting to look into the condition OF
the refugees and to recommend what action the
society should take, reported that tne refugees,
although cared for by the General Relief Com
committee and were controlled by the agents of the
American or Liberian Colonization Society. ElghI1
families numbering about forty persons, preferred
not to 20 to Liberia. They wish to remain IDLE,
however and live on charity until their friends had
gone There were others who would like to remain
Rere. hut were ashamed to withdraw now. Three
of the menwere known to have money, and one, NC
Duffy had been seen counting large roll OF Dllls.
The nmoneyed men of the party are very selfish
In their demands and very impudent. One OF them
has charge of those at Mount Oliyet Chapel. They
were 80 lazy that they refused to make up their own
beds or to wait on each other. Some OF them had
been caught stealing. They had now large guam.
tity of meat which they refused to use. One OF
them even offered to sell lou pounds of bacon to the
superintendent. .
The Committee recommended that no fur
further subscriptions for their aid be solicited and
that no further aid be extended TO those VINO mad
money as they did not need any assistance and
had refused to help those who were poorer than
themselves. Those of the refugees who were to
remain in this country should be made to 60 to
work while those who persisted in going to Liberia,
IL they had money, should take care OF themselves
Speeches were made by the Rev. Charles b. Ray,
Dr. r. s. P. Miller and others favoring the adoption
liam F. Dickerson and the Rev. j. S. Attwell, and
the report was referred back to the committee for
revision with instructions to cut out that part OF
the report rejecting on the fugtives.

The brea6stuffs markets were considerably ex-
cited Yesterday with further decline from Satur-
DAYS prices, causing no little anxiety among men,
bcrs OF the Produce Exchange as to when and how
the present movement would eliminate. Flour
was rom 10 to 20 cents below the closing prices
Of SATURDAY, and wheat from 8 TO cents lower
Corn and oats were also similarly affected The
decline yester day was caused by unfavorable cable
reIorfs from Europe of the unsettled state OF the
markets, and the determination of buyers to hold
of from further dealings until the American mar
kets become more settled. Considerable appre-
hensiou WAS expressed among some Of the members
Of the Exchange as to tine effect the present decline
win have unless it is soon checked. 1t was stated
that some firms were now nearly at the limit OF
their margins aud that disastrous results may oc-

pRoTECTIoN AGAINST oUACKs.

The New-York State Medical Society, through a
committee of which DR.. Henry G. Piffard is clair
man, has sent to the Legislature an "Act to Regr;
iate the Licensing of Physicians and Surgeons"
This provides that no person under twenty-one
wears of age shall practise medicine; that every
person now lawfully engaged in the practice shall
ON or before October l. and every person thereafter
authorized to practise, SHALL before beginning to
practise register in the County Clerks office, under
oath his name residence and place of BIRTH together
with his authority for entering the profession and
that person coming from another State must have
his diploma approved by the faculty of some regu'
larly incorporated medical school in this state
The penalty for violation of this act is fine or i'm
prisonment or both, and the person making the
Complaint is to receive One-haf the fine.
Dr. Piffard said last evening to a TRIBUNE re-
porter that of over $4,000 persons now practising
medicine i'll this State fully onefourth had either
bought diploma or none at all. There We're in the
United States fifteen twenty medical colleges
that sold their diplomas and the crime was on the
increase Most OF the surrounding States have en-
acted laws against these men,, and thus they were
driven into New-YOrk Illinois got rid of II OUU in
one year, and in so doing found 400 bogus diplomas
In New-York it was now lawful for any one to
practise medicine who had diploma from any
medical college in the world, or license from any
chartered medical society in the world The object
of the act proposed was not to interfere with any
one now legally practising, but to prevent quacks
from coming into the State.

FEARS OF A DELUGE IN MONTCLAIR.

Some fears are felt in Montclair, Ncw-Jerscy lest
in the mountain west of the village, should do
serious damage This tunnel was only partly cut
through the northern spur of the Orange Mountain
several wears ago by the management of the New
York and Greenwood Lake Railroad. 1t was to OK
tend about LOO feet, but after nearly 800 were
halfway up the mountain a few rods away from
ClarmOnt-ave., which leads directly over the noun
tain. Near this point, about year ago, the timber
supports in the tunnel gave way, and q pit was
formed about sixty or seventy feet deep. This has
filed with water from springs.
On Wednesday morning the residents near were
aroused by loud noise and found that most of the
water had forced its way out and was rushing down
the cut IL is some distance below that the stream
into which this water flows is INSTRUCTED by dam,
and theorce of the flood not enough to cause any
harm to this. The pit began immediately to NIL up
again. Yesterday the water was within six inches
of the top of the pit which Is about 200 feet across
II is thought the railroad company should clear out
the tunnel and make it safe 1t has also been pro
posed to utilize the water from the springs by build
ing a reservoir. and supplying the village.
