uenilc. IAere were IN ali, on both vessels,
nine cases, including both Captains, of
acute choleraic diarrhea. Consul Mason says
that he prescribed the remedy Of a New
York doctor, with more than ordinarily
good results. The formula is: "Tincture

ham, parts; camphor, ] part; syrup of
ether, % parts; syrup of bitter-orange
peel, 90 parts. One teaspoonful in q lit
tie water, and repeat until the symptoms
cease He adds 1t is doubtful whether
the final statistics will snow that any sub
stantial progress has been made in treating
the most malignant forms of the disease or
that the proportion of deaths to cases has
been reduced so much as one per cent. by
all the experience of these two somber
years. One effective treatment of Asiatic
cholera is to avoid it.
The President Stealing a March ON the
Politicians.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-It is the in
tentlon of the President to complete his
list OF appointments before Congress meets.
in order to relieve himself from the com
olned pressure of politicians whom the as
Semblng OF that body will bring together
He proposes to take the office-seekers
single-handed, or in small detachments,
instead of waiting for consolidated attack
and when the Congressman gather they
Will md that all the vacancies that exist
or that are likely to occur, have been filled.
The President said the other day that
wherever vacancies occurred, or good
cause was shown to Justify removals, he
would appoint Democrats to office. and the
best Democrats that could be found. The
tenure-ot-otfice law was recognized, SO far
as was consistent with the efficiency of the
civil service and his party must be patient,
ana wait for vacancies to occur. 1t was
impossible he said for a man constantly
engaged in political controversies to remove
bias from his mind, and the only way to
secure non-partisan administration of
public trusts was to divorce official power
from political leadership. He had reached
this conclusion from his own experience,
and intended to remove all ground for criti-
cism in this direction while he had any
authority. When a man accepted office
under him, he must expect to abstain from
active participation in political affairs. He
might express his views as freely as he
chose in a respectful, tolerant way, but
officeholders could not be political leaders
and campaign managers, without doing
injustice to the interests they were in
trusted with, or provoking hostility in their
opponents

WASHINGTON, October 1Sth-Speaking
about the origin of the device for the two

friends of Secretary Chase was Joseph Pat
terson, the well known bank President of
Philadelphia. Mr.. Patterson was a fire.
quent visitor at Mr.. Chase's house, and In
fact was one of the Secretary's closest ad-
viserS during the days when the credit of
the nation was somewhat impaired. One
night, at dinner, the question of a motto
for the forthcoming two-dollar bill, which
was to be adorned by the Secretary's like
ness, was under discussion. Some thought
pious phrase of some kind or other ought
to be selected, and various Scripture selec-
tons were suggested by the guests. Finally
the Secretary turned to Mr.. Patterson and
said: Mr. Patterson, what do you suggest
as a motto p" "You know" said Mr.. Pat
terson, that l do not believe in notices,
but seeing that you have asked me, do
think of a verse of Scripture that would be
very appropriate What is to" asked
the Secretary, interested. 1T is the verse
in the Acts of the Apostles, which says
Silver and gold have | none, but such as |
have give thee" The Secretary imme-
diately changed the subject. He was evil
IDENTITY not pleased.
The Dolphin Again.
WASHINGTON, October 1Sth.-If the Dol
pbin is rejected by the Government on the
grounds specified in the decision of the
Attorney-General, upon which Secretary
Whitney is acting, it means a loss to John
Roach of $1,O00,000, an expensive and pro-
tracted lawsuit to the Government, delay
of five years in the construction of the
new navy, the destruction of one great
CHI A
security of all other builders, vast and ex-
traordinary expenses to the people, in the
continued idleness of that part of the navy
impatiently waiting for vessels. Roach is
now making every effort to secure an
honest test of the vessel, not by
a hostile Board, composed of former
employees and intimates of the Secretary
but by examiners who know what ship is
and are ready to make candid report on
the work done. He is ready, too, to do
anything the Secretary may direct to make
the vessel what she should be, if it can be
shown that she is not already according to
the contract. He is ready now, so well
satisfied is he of her good qualities, to
make himself responsible not only for his
own part in the construction of her, but
also for the work of the Advisory Board.
