Two young ladies stood gazing at
the white elephant as it stood en-
throned in all its sacred splendor and
surrounded by the mystic eml lens

"that any race OF people should be so
deluded as to worship white ele-
phant."

Diseases Among Domestic Animals.

Yesterday, at a meeting of the subcommit-
tee of the house committee on agriculture,
considering diseases among domestic animals,
the bill recently prepared by the cattle men
was considered. The advisability of inserting
in the bill clause requiring the states to pay
an amount eCual TO the amount appropriated
by the govel mont was discussed, as was also
the amount of the appropriation ($50O,0O0)
provided for in the bill. 1t was the opinion
of the committee that the sum is greater than
is necessary. No definite action, however,
was taken, and the committee adjourned to
meet again to-day. A number of cattle men
were present.
During the afternoon Mr.. Springer intro
duced large delegation of western cattle
men to the President.

THE NATIONS HEALTH.
Recommendations OF the Public Health
Association.


Four resolutions adopted by the American
Public Health association, at its recent ses-
sion at Detroit, were submitted to the senate
yesterday. One urges upon congress the
necessity for making suitable annual appro-
priations for experimental Investigations
relative to the cause and prevention of in
fectious and preventable diseases. Another
invites the attention Of congress to the many
evils resulting to the American people from
the large number and undue proportion &C.
cording to population of insane, criminals,
and paupers, among the foreign born popula-
tion in the United States, and TO the urgent
necessity for tho enactment by congress
of efficient laws to prevent as far
as possible the coming Of this for
eign defective and criminal population
to burden the resources of this country and
to deprecate, by transmission of their de-
fects to their children, the mental, moral
and physical qualities of tho present and
future people Of the United States. Another
is in favor of the re.enactment of the law of
June 2, 1879 to prevent the introduction Of
contagious diseases into the United States,
and another IN favor of all appropriation to
provide a 6re-proof building for the army
medical museum and library Of the surgeon

Tho act of March 3, 1858, contains pro-
vision that clerks in tho departments shall
receive no pay for any time they may be alb.
sent in any year for more than thirty days,
except in case of sickness, A strict interpro-
tation of this provision would deny to a clerk
the right to pay in case he is under summons
us witness if he had previously had thirty
days absence, as section $50 OF the revised
statutes provides that q government clerk
shall not be paid fees rs witness, but only
his expenses in going to and coming from
court Tho question as to the right of clerk
to pay in such an event came before the first
comptroller of the treasury in the case of u
clerk in tho adlutant generals office, who
was absent twenty days in Dakota, whore ho
had been summoned MS a witness. Tho first
comptroller has decided that q clerk sum
moned as witness is entitled to his salary

standing he had previously been absent thirty

Secretary Folger Tells How Many Have
Been Issued and Why.
The secretary of the treasury sent to the
house of representatives yesterday, in re-
sponse to resolutions recently offered by Mr..
Wood, Of Indiana, communication in rela-
tion to the issue of gold and silver certif-
Gates between Dec. l, 1873, and Dec. l, 1881,
and during the years 1882 and 1883. Mr..
Wood, in calling for the information, says he
did so because of q feeling among the western
business men that the issue of gold and sill
yer certificates has been limited in the interest
of the national banks. Secretary Folger replies
that the amount Of gold certificates issued
between Dec. l, 1873, and Dec. l, 1881, was
$500; that the issue Of such certificates was
discontinued by department telegram of
Dec 3, 1878, to the United States assistant
treasurer at New York. and that the reasons
for nonissue were fully set forth in tho pub
lished letters relating to specie resumption
and the refunding of tho national debt con-
tanned in an executive document of the
second session of tho forty-sixth congress- He
was not at the head of the department until
Nov. IA, 1881, and has no personal knowledge
of the reasons for his predecessors action in
the matter.
The amount Of gold certificates issued dur
ing the last six months of 1882 and the whole
of 1883 is, he says, $107060,000 which was
equal to the amount Of gold coin and bullion
deposited.
With respect to the discontnuance of the
issue of silver certificates since 1881, the Sec
retary says that certificates have been issued
in accordance with the act of Feb. 49, 1873, to
the full amount of standard silver dollars de-
posted therefor such issue from Jan. l, 1881,
to Doc. 81, 1888, amounting to $110,740,000.
Both gold aud silver certificates he states
have been issued to the full extent required
by the acts of July 12 1882 and Feb. 2S 1873,
