TO-DkY,S SPEECH

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 20.-Sceville resum-
ed his argument this morning. Guiteau
brought into court with him a roll of man
uscript said to be an elaborate preface to
his speech (Which has already been pub
lished). His counsel seem to think this
morning that Judge Cox will allow him,
under certain conditions and restrictions
to address the jury after Scovilleshas con-
cluded.
Scoville called attention to the testl-
mony Of DR.. Hamilton, zone of the gov
eminent conspiratorss" as he termed him.
He read from his testimony and said that
from the very start DR.. Hamilton had per
verted his testimony and studiously made
use of the very strongest adjectives show
ing intensely his feelings as though every
effort on his part was designed to secure
beyond preadventure the conviction OF
the prisoner.
Scoville confined speaking all the morn
ing Proceedings were uninteresting and
only enlivened occasionally by Interrupt
tions from Guiteau and Corkhill.

SMALLPOX.
THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.

THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
SPRINGFIELD, Jan 19-The new cases
of smallpox reported to-day are rs follows;
Three cases are reported in the country
| near Reddick, Kankakee county; one case
at Elk Grove, Cook county; one death and
three more cases at Colchester, McDonough
county (aIl from a Keokuk medical col
lege student); two more cases at Richfield,
Adams county, (same cause) also one case
at Waukegan, Lake county, reported by
the Mayor.
The State Board of Health are holding
their annual meeting here. There are pres
ent John NJ. Gregory, IL d. President;
John H Rauch, NJ. D., Secretary; New
ton Bateman, LII d.; John Mclean, M.
d., and W A. Haskell, III. D. The regu
lar order of business was suspended in con-
sideration of the smallpox epidemic,
and matters pertaining thereto. DIR.
Bateman read number of letters
from his correspondence, bearing upon
the question of extending the period
for the enforcement Of the. yaccinaz
ton OF public school children. At the
close of which, after discussion, it was re-
solved that the action of the Secretary in
extending the period for the enforcement
of the vaccination order of this Board
from January 1st to the 25th is approved,
and the secretary is hereby authorized to
still further extend the period in such
cases as in his judgment may be necessary.
The Surgeon General Of the marine scr
vice writes the Secretary January 18th,
that river men are entitled to relief from
the service. They can be vaccinated on
making application to the marine hospital
surgeons Under this ruling any person
employed upon q steamboat who has paid
hospital tax during the past three months,
have right to gratuitous vaccination wher-
ever he can find marine hospital surgeon
Such officers may be found at most all
large river towns on the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers, aud the Board instructs the
Secretary to make publication of the fore
going and advises steamboat owners and
managers to require evidence Of recent
vaccination from persons seeking employ
ment on their boats on and after February
1st.
The following was offered by DR.. Bate
man, and adopted:
PesoJued That the power Of the late Board of
Health under the law creating said Board to order
the vaccination Of all public school children Is clear
and unmistakeaBle. The consequent duty of the
enforced in their respective districts is very clear
and the said order of the Board of Health is their
sufficient warrant for so doing. Should any board
of directors refuse or neglect to carry
out the said order, they may be pro
ceeded against for neglect of duty: and should
any such Board be prosecuted for enforcing said
defend them in snch suit and pay said counsel out
of the school funds of their district not otherwise
appropriated. The protection OF public health
from the loathsome, deadly scourge OF smallpox
is an obligation, and nothing should win excuse
Boards or other officers persons concerned, from
doing their whole duty in the premises

A HORRIBLE SIGHT.

JERSEY CRY, n. J., Jan. 20.-John
Williams, shoemaker, died last week of
the smallpox, leaving wife and five
children. The neighbors were afraid OF
the disease, and when Deputy Health
Inspector Sullivan came to fumigate the
house he insisted that the bed, the only
one they had, should be burnt. This
morning the Deputy Inspector visited the
place and found the mother living on
heap of rags and carpet and covered with
pustules Of smallpox; on her right was
the dead body of her little boy in the
corner of the room was sitting little fe.a-
low on whose face was the shadow of
death, while huddling close to the cold
stove were the two remaining children.
The survivors were taken to the pest house
and the dead were buried at the expense
of the county.

of the city are fast becoming alarmed at
the prevalence and growth of small pox in
the city. The deaths to day were and
the new cases 7. The officers state that al
though both the pest houses are full to
overfiowing not one-twentieth of the cases
are known to the authorities. Store kee-
pers carefully hide in their houses and
stores, cases which break out there, lest the
knowledge of them drive away trade, and
thus the disease is spread by wholesale, de-
spite the, almost unlimited use of vaccine
points, which amount to / 900 day. The
country towns continue sending victims
here, and the incoming patients in search
for the health office mingie with citizens
on the streets, and frequently get into the
wrong places.
The State Board reports eighteen new
cases in the State to-day. -

in cases where it is not thought
advisable, to reduce reservations to enter
into agreements for the survey of bounda-
ries of the reservations; to extend surveys
over them, and convey allotments in sew
crafty. The commission is also authorized
to negotiate for the concession of fentirereser-
vations and removal of the Indians to other
reservations, the surveys and sales Of such
reservations to be made by the government
and the money expended for the benefit of
the Indians on the reserves to which they
may be removed Provision is also made
for the allotments in severalty in the new
reserves.
The object of the bill, as explained by
Secretary Kirkwood, is to make the Indi-
ans self-supporting, to give them title to
the lands, educate and civiliZe them.
Another feature of the bin is to provide by
treaty for paying the indians within linz
tied period after the passage of the act, or
after the sums shall become payable, the
principal of all trust funds to be held by
the United States. for the Indians. And
still another feature is the reduction of the
annual appropriation by congress for the
support Of the Indians, until in the near
future the Indians becomes self supporting,
when such appropriations shall cease. The
bill while aiming to bring the Indians to
condition of self-support, carefully,
guards all their interests. 1t is in fun
accord with the Secretary's annual report
and with the views of the President upon
Indian affairs, as expressed in his message
to Congress.
