COMPULSORY RETIREMENT.

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT
Gen. Sherman and Major Gen. Hancock
| heard before the house committee on mill
tary affairs to-day, several bills providing
Tor the compulsory retirement of officials.
Both Generals expressed themselves in ia
vor OF compulsory retirement, but not as
proposed by any of the pending bills. They
| thought cases might arise where officers OF
high rank would be able to render valuable
services beyond the period named fol
their retirement and the application of an
arbitrary rule in such cases would result
in serious injury to the service. They IA
| vored a graduated scale as TO rank and
age, but did not offer suggestions as to any
definite plan. Gen. Sherman and party
left Washington tonight for the west
THE CANAL.
At the hearing to day on the proposition
to connect Lake Michigan with the Mis-
sissippi river by canal, Representatives
Henderson and Hawk strongly advocated
the scheme. The latter, however, desired
to suggest an amendment which would
protect the rights of manufacturers and
owners Of water privileges who might be
injuriously affected.
The report that Conkling had declined
and signifies his desire for the appointment
of Clarence Steward to the Supreme bench
was printed here to-day, but it is not cred
tied. The Senate expected to take up
Conkling's nomination and act upon it this
afternoon. If Mr.. Conkling has signifed his
declination to the President the Senate has
not yet received any notice of the fact, and
here it is not believed that Conkling has
intimated his purpose yet. Several at
tempts to organize the oppositionto Conk-
ling in the Senate have been made, but all
without success. There was some talk
this morning of democratic opposition, but
the Senators on that side are evidently not
disposed to make any fight The leading
democratic Senators were advised that if
they could get this side Of the chamber to
oppose Conkling enough republicans would
Join to reject him and some democrats
favored such coalition, but it seems now to
have been abandoned Conkling has some
strong friends among the democrats. Voor-
hees has spoken in his favor and Harris,
CoclTell and other democrats are counted
among his friends. The present indications
are that only two or three votes will be
cast against him. Several democrats have
stated that they will not vote at all. The
report of the Judiciary committee on the
nomination was first thought to be unani-
NOUS, but Bayard, who has not been seen
about the matter, declined to sign it,
though he said he would not make a mi
nerity report against the confirmation.
The impression in the Senate is that there
will be some discussion over the case.

SMALL POX

SPRINGFIELD, March 1-The final close
| frem Bloomington, Dupage county, shows
that there were six cases of smallpox in
all with one death. The place is entirely
free from infection. There have been ten
cases of continent smallpox and seven OF
var1oloid, with five deaths, in Moline.
| The city is now virtually free from the
disease, but it has cost about Sc, 900, aside
from interference with business. In Deer
Park township, La Sale county, there are
four cases of small-pox all doing well.
The local Board of Health has been ener-
getic in its efforts to confine the disease
to one family inflicted, and there has
been no spread outside Of this house. The
| township is free from infection. One new
case is reported al Jerssyville. The cases
at Danforth are doing well, and no new
ones have appeared for some time. The
disease is entirely under control and no
further danger is apprehended Reports
from Union county show culpable indiffer-
ence on the part of the authorities with
reference to the cases at Dangola. The
first case died in Dangola on the 12th of
February, and the infected survivors were
allowed to move away without care or
oversight. The second one died on the
21st, three miles from town. The nurse
decamped leaving two more sick, and
carried the infection into another family.
The deserted little ones are being subsis-
ted and cared for by party of neighbors.
A peremptorye order sent to the commls-
sioners has been by the State Board to
enforce the necessary precautions.
