The current number of the Sanitary En-
oineer has an article entitled "Decaying
Wood Dangerous" in which it states it as
fact that in ga number of instances the
prevalence of yellow fever in epidemic
form has been connected with the presence
of decaying timber in or beneath piers and
wharyes, or of masses of rotting shavings,
chips, sawdust, etc. This was the case in
Providence, Baltimore, New York City
and Norfolk, and the presence of rotten
timbers or planking in yellow fever ships
has been noted so often that by many it is
thought to besomething more than a mere
coincidence. Collections of damp and de-
caying sawdust have been in a number OF
instances charged with the production oi
malarial disease, and in some of the North
western States, and especially in Michigan,
the evils from this cause have been the
subject Of discussion by sanitary officials.
A reason for this is that green wood con-
tains very considerable amount of al
buminoid matter, which affords food to
micro organisms which decompose it, pro.
ctlE pt enomena of putretaction and
giving rise to more or less otfensi odors.
This, according ta recent experiments by
Prof. Brewer Of New Haven, may be pre-
vented by soaking greenwood in cold water
and thus removing the albumiuoid matter

THE New York Times suggests, if Mr..
Clifford Lloyd's suggestions in con-
nection with the government of Ireland
are enacted into law, that Mr.. Parnell be
made Secretary for Ireland, with seat in
the Csb,let. This it thinks would be
"tsSing step in the direct line of repre-
sentative institutions, and he would be
putting upon Mr.. Parnell responsibility
for the government CT Ireland in confor-
nifty with Irish ideas which that agitator
would find it difficult to escape"

After prayer Gov. Hubbard stated the
object OF the convention to be the national
recognition of the vast commercial inter.
ests of the Northwest, the greatest produc-
ing section OF this continent. He said the
Western States and Territories had been
neglected by Congress, and now they had
come together to enforce its rights
IN such way as they could not longer be
1guored. On this point he enforced his
argument by statistics. He protested that
the convention had not been called with
any base design against any section, or TO
antagonize any interest. On the contrary,
he said, we would encourage every section
to develop their waterways, but insisted
that the Northwest should have the same
consideration. He protested against the
determinations against the Northwest in
previous appropriations. Although the
Northwest has been The greatest producer,
she had received but a small share of the
appropriations for rivers and narbors. L.
conclusion Gov Hubbard gave the dele
gates a cordial greeting to the State, ano
introduced Mayor Rice, who, in a few wei
chosen words, welcomed the guests to the
freedom of the city.
