SPRINGFIELD, Nov. 1.-THE eighth annual re-
port of the Illinois State Board of Health was
issued yesterday. 1t shows that between March
and December, 1885, over 100000 houses and
premises were inspected. These inspections
embraced every material condition affecting
health The result was the discovery Of nearly
half million defective conditions and
nuisances prejudicial to health, over
80 per cent Of which were abated
or remedied by the close of the year. The death
rate from filth diseases liz Chicago was reduced
over 10 per cent. and there is no question but
that much of this decrease was due to the house
toulouse inspection. There are 5000 practiton-
ers OF medicine in Illinois; Asa were added during
the year, and / IA rejected for failing to comply
with the law. The certificates of eight were
yoked for unprofessional and dishonorable con-

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10.-The
,o,,po statesman from New Hampshire,
Mr. Blair. was exposed in a very eontemp-
tiblr trick. to-day, involving not only dis
courtesy to his associates on the Pension
Committee but also species Of dishonesty.
Some dlys ago the press carried broadcast
% yiIhinous attack on the President in
several pension reports submitted by Blair
and purporting to come from the
committee. This morning in open Senate
senators Camden and Kenna vigorously
condemned the buncO game, and presented
> statement signed by all the Democratic
committeeman, asserting their entire
Ignorance of the reports. 1t then devel-
opcI that Blair had shown his billingsgate
10 but one Republican, Senator Sawyer,
who turns the crank of his pension hopper.
Tie committee had never met. As re
.rIf of this expose Blair's screeds were re-
committed and the great Colonel Sellers Of
M. senate was left in the pitiable plight
Of IN exposed trickster.

Mr. Blair. from the Committee on Pen
Siuns submitted a report on twenty-three
pension bills vetoed BY the President, and
recommending that the bills be passed not
vithstandiug the Presidents objections.
In reply to u question Mr.. Blair said the
vetoed messages had been referred to the
members who had originally reported the
bills. In accordance with that order he
made this report
Mr.. Camden read a paper signed by
himself Mr COlquitt, Mr.. Wilson, Of

cratic members of the Committee ON Pen
slous denying any knowledge of Mr. Blair's
report. OF OF the order referred 10. The
report did not present the views of the
committee on these vetoed bills, but only
the views OF Henry W Blair. The reason
assigned by the President in vetOing each
OF these bills separately did not call for
gro,s criticism or for the censure of the
senate.
Nlr. Blair asked Mr. Camden whether
any OF the senator's who had signed that
paper hId examined any OF the bills either
before OF after the veto. and he answered
the question himself by assertions that
they had not. Mr.. kenna moved that the
report Of the views Of the minority and
papers be recOmmitted TO the committee
on pensions for reconsideration by that
committee. Adopted.
