WAsHINGToN, March 14-Secretarv Fol
gers impaired health has again given rise 10
rumors that he will leave the Csbiuet at an
early day. There appears TO be an impres-
sion that he desires to leave the Treasury
Department, and there is an equally strong
impression thsrTne President would be graft
flied il he would leave. The President, it
is said, admires Folger's high character and
his great ability as a lawyer, but recognizes
the fact that he has not the qualities to m an
age a great department like that of the
Treasury. IfMr. Folger resigns it it not i'm
probable that he may be succeeded by Mr..
Richard Crowley, OF New York. II is, per
haps, safe TO say that both political parties
regard the Cabinet ss lacking force, admin
istrative ability and political ssgacity. 1t
is generally admitted that Mr.. Chandler is
the strongest member OF it.

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL
BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE MARINE
HOSPITAL SERVICE.
WASHINGTON, March II. - These dis
patches advised you some time ago of the
irrepressible conflict between the Mariue Hos
pital Service and the Board of Health as to
who shall control the appropriation of $780,
600 fer the epidemic fund. The Marine Hos
pilal practically rested its case on its service
at Brownsville, Tex, during the great yel.
low-fever epidemic OF four years ego. The
mayor of Brownsville, one Carson, wrote a
letter, the purport of which was sent you,
declaring that the Marine Hospital S.rvice
at that time was a fraud, and but for the
Sisters of The Catholic convent the fatality
would have been enormous, adding that the
Marine Hospital nurses we're drunkards
and incompetents. DR.. Murray, of Mem
phis, in charge of the Marine
Hospital corps of the Mississippi
valley at the time OF the epidemic,
went TO Brownsville when the fever RACED
there, and has written a letter to Surgeon
General Hamilton, which will be laid before
the Secretary OF the Treasury tomorrow, re-
plying 10 Mayor Carson's abatement, in which
he says, among other things, that he person
ally treated three children Of the mayor,
stricken with fever, and saved their lives,
and that there was no other reliance for
medical aid by the people OF Brownsville,
except such as was given by the Marine Hos
pital corps. DIR. Murray's letter is said to be
fortified by the testimony of large number
of the leading citizens Of Brownsville, and to
be scalhing srraignment OF Mayor Carson

Thomas Dickson, Liberal, supported the

adopted by the conference Of Ulster tenants.
Gladstone said the land act was far more
efficient than Psrnell had described. He
said ParnelPs bill amounted virtually to the
remodeling of the land act. Gladstone
strongly denounced ParnelPs statement that
the courts imposed rack-rents. He insisted
that tenants were willing 10 pay the rents
fixed by the courts. He hoped Parnell
would give assurance that the new crusade
would be conducted in a strictly legal man.

War on Cigarette Smoking.

The petition of Principal William Stephens of the Wyoming Male Gram mar School, Philadelphia. to the Board of Education, calling it's attention to the alarming prevalence of the cigarette "craze'' and the general use of tobacco among the male scholars in the public schools, bids fair to prove one of the most popular measures yet suggested for its suppression. In his communication Principal Stephens states that the public schools of Philadelphia contain at least 5O,OOO pupils, large proportion of whom are addicted to the use of tobacco in various forms. "It is evident," he continues, ''even to the casual observer, that since the institution of the cigarette, the use of tobacco among our boys has in- creased to an alarming extent, and, if not checked, must necessarily infict up on them all the evils that are sequences of so pernicious habit.
 One of the means by which this re- suit may be accomplished is through this form:
