INVESTIGATING CUSTOM HOUSES.
A st. Paul Agent Interviewed, Concerning
His Work
Special TO the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, April Especial Agent John
Douglass of st. Paul was in the city yester-
day in consultation with Collector Spalding.
He was on his way to st. Louis. He said
that his only object in stopping here was to
report on the workings of the custom house
at Milwaukee and to get the benefit of Mr..
Spalding's views on certain matters con-
nected with the service. These certain mat
ters, it is reasonable to infer, relate to orders
recently sent out by Secretary Manning to
customs collectors throughout the coun-
try on the subject of reducing
forces and curtailing expenses. The
department has asked Mr. Douglass for his
views on this matter, both as to the Chicago
and Milwaukee ports, and he is looking over
the ground preparatory TO submitting re-
port in conjunction with those of the collect
ors. What ideas, suggestions or recon-
mendations will be embodied in these reports
is still question. as both Mr.. Spalding and
Mr.. Douglass claim to be undecided For
the past three days the collector has been
giving his time to the consideration of
circular received last week from the depart
ment, EN- mbodylng decision of the attorney
general to the effect that the inspectors Of
customs were not entitled TO pay for DAYS
when they were not actually employed. The
pay of an inspector is fixed at SO per dav
and on that basis he has heretofore been
allowed s21 week. No matter how many
days he may have been off duty within that
time. During the season when navigation
is closed inspectors seldom have any work
to do on Sunday although they are paid as
much for that day as others. Mr.. spalding
is expected TO report on the practlcability
and probable effect Of introducing the pro-
posed innovation at this port, but says he
has not thoroughly made up his mind about

Mr.. HOWELL, editor of the Atlanta Con-

cate the position of honor, power and useful
ness he occupies for the position of consul to
Manchester. Any first-class editor who
would be willing to exchange his place fol-
any political office within the gift of the

In anticipation OF the completion of the
Canadian Pacific railway the dominion gov
eminent had spent in various ways large
sum of money, probably aggregstiug s3,-

view of locating them in the territory now
under supremacy of RIsL and his gang.
This section of country is represented to be
one of the most desirable agricultural re-
gious in the Northwest. As matter of course
the uprising OF the half-beeds destroys every
thing that has been done toward inducing
immigration to that section and the money
spent by the Canadian government for that
purpose is lost. The Canadian Pacific like

ropogr;,pl,ical Conditions and Cholera.


No doubt can he entertained that the
coniisuration OF the earth has certain in
tiuencc. Relatively loW-lying sites are very
favorable to cholera. Where the surface
Of the earth has an undu!atinG outline, il
will be found that districts and individual
houses which are situated on the summit
of the undulation very frequently have no,
or only a very small, disposition to the de-
velopment of an epidemic of cholera, while
in the hollow OF the undulation under like
conditions the opposite holds good. The
truth OF this statement is seen in single
districts where parts or single houses exist
OH the summit and others lie low An
other feature which is found in every epi-
demic Is the falling off Of the disease in the
neighborhood of and on mountain ranges
The ilimalayan mountains, those Of Leb~
anon and the Alps, have always formed the
places of refuge for fugitives from cholera.
Now and then an epidemic occurs in the
mountains; these exceptions will lie dealt
with later The immunity. or the slight
est susceptibility, OF mountain ranges for
cholera is witnessed in India as plainly as
it is in Europe 4 familiar example is the
complete freedom from cholera of the hill
stations along the IIimalayas in which,
through frequent changes Of troops, the
cholera has every chance of being taken
up from the plains. In the severe cpl
demic of 1869 there We're only two cases Of
cholera in nineteen hill stations. 4 SINH
lar experience is met with in narrow areas.
For instance, in Munich, 1S13-74, the fre-
quency Of cholera was widely different in
the seven barracks of the garrison. In the
low-lying Isar Kaserne occupied Ey cui-
raissiers, heavy cavalry regimcnt), out Of
1000 men there were forty eases OF chol-
era; in the hieh-lying Max H., Kaserne
with, two feld-artillery regiments only
three cases, and this without there being
any difference in the construction of the
caserns, the occupation or the diet of the
men, or the drinking water DIR. Max
