SENATOR VEST.

The Atlanta Constitution. one of the

south. in an article treating Of tfe orators
OF the senate, says Of our brilliant and
distinguished party leader: "The rising
orator of the senate Is George Vest, Of
Missouri. He is genius. His figure

the famous tragedian, he has that with.

HoSG KoEG, March 29.-There are
rumors of trouble in the foreign settle
ments of China, between Spain and Great
Britain on account of the large concessions
made 10 the North Borneo Company by the
British government.
The captain of the Spanish vessel Leo
Kill, ee RUE from Barcelona TO- Manila,
was arrested by the British authorities In
Singapore, and sent to prison for six months
for contempt Of court. While in the Red sea
he had put in irons three English engineers
of his vessel and treated them with great
hardness. At Singapore he was arrested
under an Injunction to obey a writ Of
hdbeds cNpWs 10 produce the prisoners. Un-
der the advice OF his COUNSEL he claimed an
adjournment of the case. Meanwhile the
ship steamed away with the Englishmen in
dispute soufned on board, and the Spanish
captain himself prisoner on. shore. The
matter has been submitted TO the Spanish
and Eoglish governments.
The Chinese merchants in Hong Kong
and Shanghai have received dispatches from
California deprecating the arrival of 30
many Chinese passenger
Prtjudices against innovations have been
revived with the Introduction of telegraphs

SMALLPOX AT CINCINNATI
Alarming Iucrease In the Disease
thirty to forsy Cases u bay.

CINCINNATI, April 22.-The number of
cases of smallpox in this city, which were de-
veloped at the rate of from FIVE to ten dur
ing the cold winter months, when the disease
was supposed to be at its worst, are now
being reported at the rate of some thirty to
iorty day. The steady and alarming in
crease of the disease for the past three or
four weeks has carrie d it to point that, in
the opinion of many, warrants the scourge
being designated as epidemic. There are
two reasons for the continued increase Of the
disease One is that the Germans, among
whom it is principally found, have refused,
in many instances, to vaccinae. They
have a tradition that vaccination, if resorted
to at all, should be performed in May, and
by a large class vaccination has been wholly
neglected. 10 locations where it has been
generally resorted to but few cases Of small
pox hav been reported, hut beyond the tail
nre of Germans TO vscci e, a suficie mt
cause for the prevalence of the scourge may be
found in the inefficiency OF the Board OF
Health and of the health officials. There
has been the most criminal carelessLeI In
the matter OF reporting new cases, and OF
warning the public of the presence of the
disease. 1t has just come 10 light that case
in the old Spencer House, where the free
kinderg arten school Is located, was not re-
ported for whole week after IL was known
70 be smallpox. The chiarea and teachers
OF the kinderg o.; -sz-tssss-- c,sed 10
the disease e.eTJ 20 ssbftr as tue exisf-
ence of rs case was learned the school was
dismissed. O,her instances Of exposure on
se,on-t Of the failure of the health depart
ment to warn the public of the presence OF
the disease are reported daily. The hope
that 1t would disappear with the coming of
warm weather is now gwen up, and radical
me asures for overcoming the scourge are be-
ing proposed. The health officers attribute
the increase of the last three or four days to
the frosty nights of last week.
The Health Board reports 1000 cases of
smallpox since January 1st.

A CASE has recently been advanced on the
docket of the Supreme Court of the United
States and set down for hearing, the decis-
ion OF which may settle all the now vexipg
bond and debt-paying questions of this and
Arkansas and other Southern States. On it
will turn the validity or invalidity of all the
debts repudiated by the various States of the
Union since the adoption of the constitution,
excsp. of course in the cases in which settle
ment has been made with the creditors. The
suit is the one brought by the State of New
Hampshire against the State of Louisiana,
as holder OF bonds repudiated by the latter.
The bonds are the property of the citizens
of New Hampshire, and under an act
framed not long since have been trans
ferred 70 the State, for the purpose of a suit;
the Supreme Court having jurisdiction of
controversies between two States, though the
eleventh amendment prohibits suits against
a State by citizens OF another State. II the
Supreme Court upholds the eonstituiionality
of the New Hampshire act, dozen or more
States will find themselves (this among them)
called upon to make good debts to a very
large amount long since "written off" their
books. Not only this, but in the future the
right to repudiate or scale will be practically
gone and the question which has threatened
the Democratic party OF the South with per-
manent disruption viii be forever removed
from the political slate. The decision of the
court will be looked for with great interest

OUR HEROIC DEAD.
Southern Mothers HospifaI-A Floral
Tribute to Those who Fill
Soldiers Grave.

) ust about twenty years ago there was pro-
Jected in this city what was known as the
"Southern Mothers Hospital" From a
small beginning the institution soon sprapg
into great prominence and usefulness in
nursing and caring for our sick and wounded
Confederate soldiers. Mrs S. G. Law, the
hopored president of this organization, still
survives, as do also many OF the noble women
who were banded together with her in this
blessed labor of love.
Yesterday afternoon a few of this noble
band OF women assembled in quiet way, by
appointment, at Elmwood, and, with others
OF both sexes heartily in sympathy with the
movement, proceeded to strew with flowers
was on the ground and directed the cere-
monies. Among the gentlemen present were
the Rsvs. E. Daniel and w. G. Woodbridge.
The ceremonies were inaugurated by an elo-
quent and touching prayer by Mr.. Daniel
and then quietly and reverently the work OF
decoration proceeded until every grave. as il
was thought, had received its floral tribute.
From the corners of the monument, also.
were suspended beautiful. wreaths, wrought
by woman's hand. 1t was a pleasing thing
TO notice the interest which the little girls
and boys took in the proceedings. Their
mission accomplished, the company dis.
persed, the occasion bringing to each the sad
and sacred memories peculiar to its own
heart. The evening after the shower was
beautiful and propitious, and how appro-
pirate, as returning spring brings her wealth
of flowers, that tender and loving hands
should gather and twine and strew them as
a tribute to the memory of those who, by
the terrible shock of war, sleep to day in
soldiers graves.
