Precautions Against SMALLPOX.


WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-The following
is an official statement of the action taken
by the government in regard to the cpl
demic Of smallpox threatened from Canada:
THE alarming increase of smallpox in
Canada induced the government to take early
action in the matter, and last month, upon
the request of the governor Of the state of
Michigan, inspectors were appointed to board
trains IN Canada before crossing the Detroit
and St. CroiX rivers, opposite Detroit and Port
Huron, respectively. This action was taken
to aid the state of Michigan until the state ap-
preparation shall have become available,
which will be on the 18th inst. In regard to
the prevention of the introduction Of the dis
ease by rail into Maine, New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Massachusetts, and Northern New
York, no action has yet been taken by the de-
partment, but inspectors will Immediately be
appointed to board the trains on the reQuisi-
ton OF the governors of the respective states
Immediately interested or OF any one of them.
The secretary of the treasury is determined
that no delay shall be properly chargeable to
the government in taking the necessary ac-
tion. The commanding officer of the revenue
cutters plying on Lake Ontario and the St.
Lawrence river has this day been ordered to
cruise actively for the purpose of watching
the Introduction of refugees and their bag
gage by merchant vessels on the lake and
river, and Immediately report such vessel to
the nearest local authorities. For the pro-
lection of the revenue cutters, the command
ing officer of each cutter has been directed to
proceed with his crew to the nearest N ariue
hospital for the purpose of having them vac
cinated. Fresh vaccine matter has been for
warded from the marine hospital bureau to
all marine hospitals on the lakes and Atlantic
seabOard.''

Silver Popular in the South.

Special TO Jhe GloDe.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. ia treasury
official, who has been on a trip through the
Southern and Southwestern states reports
that he found silver to be immensely popu-
lar there, and any mention of the proposed
repeal Of the coinage of standard silver dol
lars, was, he says unfavorably received.
The people of the South regard silver with
greater favor than gold, very much to his
surprise, but he ascribeS this to the reports
that have been circulated of losses by abra-
sion and an alleged illegal coinage of gold
during the war. The preference in the
South for a metallic currency was explained
to him to be due to the fact that it was
priced for its convenience, its indestructi-
bility, and its marked contrast to the depre-
ciated paper currency which most of the in
habitants had had experience with during
the war

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE new state
department officials have considerably sur
prised the treasury department by referring
to the secretary of the treasury the draft of
the Spanish minister for the payment of
the annual interest on the Spanish indem-
nifty certificates. This money has for years
been paid by the state department through
New York banks. The act passed in 1886,
directed, however, that the awards should
be distributed by the secretary of the
treasury. For some reason not yet dis
covered i'll the investigation be-
ing made, this was never done.
The law has evidently been examined
at the state department, and the
draft referred according TO the instructions
contained therein, but treasury officials are
sure that an opinion must be in existence
justifying the Interpretation given the law
since the days of Webster. 1t if said that
if change is to be made in the manner of
payment the new construction carries with
it an implied responsibility of the United
States treasurer for the amonnt involved
a number of letters have been received
from Nsw York asking for the forms nee
esSary TO be observed to collect interest
under the new Interpretation OF the law,
but no answer can be given until the points
raised between the departments have been
decided.

Illinois miners Dissatissied.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 17.-No additional in
formation had been received at p. m. to-
day regarding the situation at the coal
mines at Collinsville, ILL.,, and the vicinity,
but there is evidently a determination on
the part of the men to obtain an increase of
wages or strike and involve the whole
district. Mines as far away as
Duquoin are being affected, some
of the men at the place having already quit
work and nothing has yet been heard, from
the meeting which was called to meet in
East st. Louis to-day. About forty men
employed IN the Fitzpatrick iron pipe
foundry in South st. Louis have struck for
higher wages and the foundry has been

Mrs. S. Allen, who lives with her three

Meanwhile Mrs. Allen picked up her

Both Mr.. Bland aud Mr.. Reagan are quoted
as declaring their determination TO stand by
the Bland dollar uncOmpromlSlngly and
the anti-silver men say that President
Cleveland has not altered his views i'll the
least since writing his famous anti-Silyer
letter shortly after his election. The
prospects seem to be for straight issue
on both sides and the outcome depends upon
whether or not the administration has Sc
cured enough converts since last session to
put them in control Of the house on that
question, which, it is thought, will be the
most important in the organization of the
house, and i'll this respect Speaker Carlisle
will be placed i'll an embarrassing position
There is no idea that he will meet with any
opposition III his canvass for the speaker
ship, and he will have to decide as to the
organization of the coinage, weights and
measures committee which will have the
silver question before it. According TO the
general custom, the old chairmen who have
served satisfactorily, will be reapponted at
the heads of their respective committees.
Thus Mr. Morrison will expect to go at the
head of ways and means, Mr.. RandalPs
friends will claim for him the appropriation
committee, and
BLAND WILL. EXPECT
to be placed at the head Of the coinage.
weight and measures committee. He will
expect, also, that the committee will be Or
ganiZed according to his idea, so that the
silver men will be in control. Should his
expectations be accomplished the silver men
would have the reins i'll their own hands
and the administration would be defeated
at the outset. On the other hand, il Mr..
Carlisle should refuse to place Mr.. Bland i'll
his old position, or should organize the
committee SO as to take the power out OF his
hands, it would have the tendency to COM
nit the house to the support OF the admins
tration before any vote had been taken and
to plunge it into long and exciting contest
at once. In the face of these circumstances
it is important to know what Mr.. Carlisle's
views on the question are. The silver men
naturally rely on him being with them as
opposed to the New York bankers, but it is
understood that he has
STUDIED THE QUESTION
very carefully, and is inclined to think,
with the president, that there is danger in
the unlimited coinage of silver dollars.
This question is giving him more uneaSi-
ness than the tariff or anything else that
may come before congress this winter, and
for months past he has been talking with
men Oh both sides, and making a careful
study of the situation. Representative
Warren expressed the opinion to-day that
congress would pass a compromise silver
bill this session.
