STARTLING FIGURES.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Startling figures are
given to night, showing the growth and
steady increase of zymotic diseases, which
DIR. Rauch, of the State Board of Health,
says is due to the uncleanly condition of
the streets and in less degree to the
large influx of low classes of emigrants.
Last week there were thirty six deaths from
typhoid fever, and the number this week is
still greater, In>January there were 1S
deaths from small pox, in February 33, in
March 90. in April 81, May 46, June 25
July so, August 116, September 10S, and
so far in October 70. The entire mortality
in 1879 was Is. Unless there is decided
reform in street cleaning methods even
greater mortality is probable. Of the /,
395 cases since Jan. 1, forty have proved
fatal. BY far the greater number of the
cases occur in the Fourteenth ward, where
the more degraded portion of the foreign
ers live and where attempts at vaccination
have been met by open violence. At times
in that ward 0,000 people have not been
vaccinated, and of 108 deaths in Septem-
Der 81 were in that division of the city 1t
is believed shat the publication of these
statements will create such a sentiment as
will result in almost universal vaccination
and increased diligence in cleaning the
streets.

THE CABINET BROKEN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15,-The Presidents
determination not to send in cabinet nom
nations until week after next has broken
all states and it is asserted that that he is
more embarrassed than he has hitherto
been supposed. The rumor that Conkling
will be a member is renewed, and Blaine's
friends say the intention to appoint Conk-
ling has never been abandoned. A west
ern senator said this evening that he had
felt that such an appointment would be
nearly fatal to the success of the admins
tration and future OF the party; that he
had gone to thel presidentSand protested
against it. The president had listened
calmly and courteously, but did not indi'
cate in any way his intention. The senator
said Conkling would be confirmed unan-
imously. There could be no objection to
him on the score of ability or integrity,
but the appointment would nevertheless
wreck the administration.

YORKTOWN, Oct 16.-The day passed
off very quietly. The Fifth Maryland
Regiment arrived this morning, and i'm
mediately went into camp. The steamer
with the New Jersey battalion and Gov

about eight o'clock. BY the time they
were landed the weather grew very hot,
and en- route to the camp more than fifty
men dropped from the ranks and We're
brought in by abulances. At five o'clock
this evening the whole battalion partook
