year OF either enlarging the present chemical
laboratory or building new lecture room.
The present room Is OF ample size for practical
work. in the basement are the boiler, fur
naces, engine and other machinery, while the
upper story contains the apparatus, and Is
fitted up with tables, one OF which Ia assigned
to each OF the juniors, The seniors who elect
chemistry have special laboratory in Adams
Hall, where there are better facilities for
Weighing, etc.
The medical term will soon end. Part of
the embryo doctors are happy, while the sac-
dened faces of others who have been
"plueked' in some examination, show only
too well that the habits of the medic" are not
SO regular as those Of his college brother.

The Yellow Fever Fund.
The President before leaving for New York
gave an order that the 100000 fund for the
prevention of yellow fever should be disbursed
under the direction of the Secretary Of the
Treasury II there shall be any need to make
the expenditure. Secretary Folger will un-
doubtedly place DIR. Hamilton, the Surgeon
General Of the Marine Hospital Service, in
charge OF the fund, as he did last year. DIR.
Hamilton has ordered Surgeon Murray, who
has had great experience in yellow fever, to
proceed at once TO take charge of the hospital
at Brownvile, Texas. This is precautionary
measure. 1t is anticipated that If yellow fever
visits this country this year it will first appear
along the Rio GraDde. Great difficulty has
been found to induce a naval fieer of the
proper rank to take charge of the Pensacola
Navy Yard on account of fear Of yellow fever.
1t has been customary 10 assign Commodore
TO that yard, but all the available Commodores
have refused the assignment, and the depart
ment has appointed Captain Belknap to the
position.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Their Request for a Reduction of Freight
Rates to the West.

Rates TO the west.
NEW YORK, May 23.-Representatives Of the
dry goods trade in this and other cities in the
East and West appeared today before the
Railroad Commission, sitting here, to support
the claims made in Their petition TO the com
mission, in which it is stated that the existing
classification of domestic dry goods on the
western bound traffic OF the trunk lines is IN
just, injurious TO business and should be
changed. In support of these changes it was
urged that the class of goods sgainst which the
present classification bears smost heavily, are
mainly cotton goods of she coarser and cheaper
grades, and ii is especially for that class of
merchandise re-casslhcaiion was asked. The
rate charged for transportation, it was urged,
was out Of proportion TO the cost of trans
portation and out of proportion to the value OF
the goods carried. It was also stated that these
matters we're first brought 10 lie at
tention of the executive committee of the
trunk lines al the suggestion of Vice President
presented TO Mr.. Fink signed by all the repre-
sentatives of the large cotton mills of Milne,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New York and Pennsy lvania
and nearly all the representative dry goods
merchants OF New York, Boston, Philadelphia
Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis and other prom
inent cities.
Pool Commissioner Albert Fink replied that
it is necessary to charge higher rates on certain
articles in order that grain and other food pro-
ducts may be carried at rate enabling the
farmers to ship to the East and TO Europe.
After further discussion of the subject the
commission adjourned 20 June 13.
