WASHINGTON.
News Gathered About the Capital
CitV


City.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I3. = The an
nual report of Wyman, United States
treasurer. shows the total net revenue
to be 1896, ,2S7, ,5S1; decrease, So, ,237, ,66S.
The only increase in receipts was from
sales of public lands. The condition
of the treasury and the operations
thereof, are set forth at great length,
but the main points of interest have
been published from time to time.
The treasurer recommends an appro-
priation to be made to pay express
charges for worn mutilated United
States money and for the distribution
of fractional silver and minor coins.
He also recommends the discontinue
ance of three cent pieces, and that
compensation and mileage to men,
berS Of congress be made by the dis
bursting officer instead of the treas
urer. He urges the restoration of
salaries in the treasurer's Office, re-
duced in 1876.
Lieut.. Darlington testified before
the Yantic court of inquiry to-day.
He repeated the story OF supplemental
orders as related in his report, and
said the Yantic was of no use and
was sent with the Proteus merely to
satisfy public opinion.
Bell, the supervising architect, has
decided to change the plans of the
public building at Frankfort, KY, to
be built of stone instead of brick.
Complaint has reached the postotfice
department that mails on the North
ern Pacific are not properly worked
by the postal clerks, and instead of
being distributed at various points
along the route are carried through to
Portland and stacked up there. Su-
perintendent Thompson says this state
of affairs is brought about by a COM
bination of postal clerks, who pur-
posely neglect the work in order to
compel him to double the force, which
he maintains is already sufficient to
distribute the mails properly. Assist
ant Superintendent Jameson will go
over the read from st. Paul to Port
land and make thorough eXamina-

Public Health,

DETROIT, Nov. 13.-The American
Public Health association began its
eleventh annual meeting in this city
this morning, President Ezra Hunt,
of New Jersey, in the chair. The at
tendance of members is large, dele
gates being present from nearly every
state in the Union, Canada, the army
and the navy. The majority are well
known IN sanitary circles and officers
Cf state boards of health. The session
began with prayer by Bishop Harris,
of Michigan. After formal reports
from the secretary, treasurer and the
standing committees, the regular pro-
gramme papers were entered. DR.. ID.
E. Salmon, of the department of agri-
culture, Washington, read a paper on
Texas Cattle Fever" He took very
strong ground in favor of the exist
ence of the disease in that belt in the
Southern states, from which it is
dangerous to export cattle. Col. Jos.
Smith, army medical director of the
department of Texas, held that the
Texas cattle fever is chimera. He was
followed by DR.. Rouch, OF the Illinois
state board of health, and DR.. Ryan,
of Texas. The latter supported the
opinion of the contagiousness of this
disease. DIR. j. NJ. Partridge, of Fort
Bend, Ind, advocated similar views
respecting the swine plague or hog
cholera. which has prevailed since
1852. Following this was paper on
cattle disease-cattle known as swell
head-by DR.. VIM. Belford, OF Chica-
go. He attributed the trouble to
a microscopic fungus plant, called
act!nomeyees. Prof. Low, of Cornell
not of recent discovery in America,
but had keen long known under va
rious other names. Hard tongue, he
asserted, was not restricted to grain
eating animals, but effected dogs
among others.

The Flaws Did 1t.

MADISON, WIS, Nov. 13.-The COM
mittee of expert builders and archi-
tects appointed to consider the cause
of the collapse of the new capitol
building, find nothing defective in the
plans, but do find serious defects in
the iron work which sustained the
roof of the south extension. Some of
the supporting columns revealed in
ternal flaws which rendered them
worthless. The report will tend to
eXculpate the architects and contract
ors, as the flaws in the iron were not
visible and were only reVeled when
the columns were broken.
