WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Speaker Car.
isles committees give very general sat.
isfactiOn. There are Of course some dis
political opponents of Mr.. Carlisle praise
him for the care he has exercised, and
recognize his most earnest endeavors to
not only satisfy those directly interes ted,
but to render the most possible satisfac-
tion to the country. There were many
conflicting interests to be considered in
the formation of the committees, and
many members not only begged to be
placed on certain committees, but refused
in advance to serve if given assignments
they did not like and which they
named.
It is bel lieved that Mr.. Carlisle has acted
wisely in view of the policy of his party
respecting tariff reform, appropriations,
pensions, financial matters, territorial in
teFests, railroad, educational, labor and
other interests pressing Congress.
The Speaker said last n ght that he was
never more completely exhausted from
his work, and that he felt greatly relieved
now that it was finished. Most of the
committees will meet to-day and organ
ize by the election of subcommittee and
the assignment of measures which have
already been referred, and will appoint
clerks, etc.
Members of the committee on ways and
means say they believe that hearings will
be granted on tariff matters, and that
those most interested will be given op-
portunity to present arguments verbally
and written.

CHOLERA THEoRIEs.
Dissemination Of the Plague During n
Past Hundred Yenrs,

Dissemination Of the Plague During tilo
Past Hundred Years,
The discussion in regard to cholera has
again directed notice to the twelve yearly
pilgrimages to and the Hindoo festivals at
the great East Indian temples The NUM-
Der of pilgrims who have been in the habit
OF going to the East Indian shrines In al
most beyond belief 1t is related, for ex-
ample, that only few hundred thousand
visit Hurdwar annually; the third year
there are more; the sixth year the caravans
are greatly increased and the ninth year
even more so; while the pilgrimage of the
twelfth year is attended by often from two
million five hundred thousand TO three
million five hundred thousand OF people.
In the Bombay Presidency, for instance.
there arc nearly a hundred shrines ia
which uncounted pilgrims annually go as
an act Of supremest worship These trav.
elers are gathered from even the most dis
tant places. The sanitary conditions which
prevail during their stay and en- route are
deplorable. Filth and fOulneHs are every
where. Even the ground the travellers
camp upon is infected On their return
journey they carry with them the various
diseases prevalent in the localities they have
visited, and cholera is one of the most
familiar and fatal. The seeds of this terri
bic disorder are disseminated to Central
ASIA and to Persia, and Afghanistan, and
to the sea-coast 1t has always been car
ried up the Persian Gulf from Bombay,
Surat and other ports on the west coast Of
India, thence to the Caspian, Black and
Mediterranean Seas and the adjacent coun-
triea
The dissemination of cholera during tho
past hundred years has been of such a
character that the twelve yearly visitation
has been but period Of extreme virulence.
while the cholera itself has prevailed if
various countries in it's westward move
ment For example, in Lower Bengal IL be-
gan In 1871, and the Hurdwar disease in
1S43; these reached Afghanistan I'm 1874,
Persia In 1S45, and spread over Europe In
1867, and reached America in 1s4S.
IL took about the same time for the India
outbreak Of 1926 20 cross TO America, al
loving for increase in steamboat and rail-
road communication. The same ia true Of
the outbreaks of 565 and 1866, although
that period was marked by the rapid spread
Of the disease owing TO speedy transit re-
ferred to. In May, 1877, cholera visited
Calcutta, and since that outbreak there has
not been year when the world has been
free from cholera Chicago J,s'sr Ocsan.

Thomas CaIIan's American Friends VIII
Stand by Him. .

NEW York, Jan. 6.-Thomas Callan,
alias Thomas Scott, who was arrested in
London last November with Mitchell Har-
kins on suspicion of being a dynamiter,
has at last secured a legal defender.
General Roger "A. Pryor, of this city,
yesterday cabled c. ]. Guy, the solicitor
who defended O'Donnell, asking him to
take charge of CaIlan's case. In three
hours came reply saying that he would
defend Callan.
"Callan," said General Prior to the COR
respondent yesterday, twas q brave
onion soldier After the war he settled
in Lowell and is a member of the G. A. r.
there. His post viii ray for his counsel.
Some days ago they sent to me asking
me to undertake Calan's defense. [
could not go over there, so retained
counsel by cable. When NJ. O'Connor
Power, ex- member of Parliament, arrived
here on business, asked him if he could
take the case. He said be would, but aft
erwards found it would be impossi-
bic unless it were pos tponed. The
people of Lowell who know Callan
believe in his innocence, and dispositions
as to his high character have been signed
by Mayor j. q. Abbott and a number Of
prominent citizens to be forwarded to
London. Callan was waiting for money,
for which he had sent to Lowell, and i
was during this time he was arrested.
The money, when it came, was taken
charge Of by the detectives"

MEDALS OF HONOR.

How Uncle Sam Rewards the HeGoes Of
His Army and Navy.
The medal of honor is the one decora-
ton given by the United States to
those of its soldiers and sailors who
distinguished themselves by acts of in
dividual gallantry. This decoration
was authorized for military service by
a joint resolution passed by both
houses of Congress and approved july
u, 1862, authorizing the President ito
canse 1900 medals of honor to be pre-
pared with suitable emblematic de-
vices, and to direct that the same be
presented in the name of Congress to
such non-commissioned officers and
privates as shall most distinguish
themselves by their gallantry in ae-
tion and their soldier-like qualities
during the present insurrection." This
was followed March 3, 1868, by an act
authorizing the additional issue OF
medals of honor for such officers, nom
commissioned officers, aud privates as
have most distinguished, or may here
after most distinguish, themselves in
action" appropriating $4,000 to de-
medal prepared was a fve-pointed
star, tipped with trefoil, each point
containing a crown of laurel and
oak; in the middle. within cir
Gle of thirty-four stars, America is
personified as Minerva, with her left
hand resting on the fasces, while with
her right, in which she holds
shield bearing the arms of the United
States, she repels Discord. The whole
cannon and sword surmounted by the
American eagle, and linked with the
dependent star. A ribbon of thirteen
stripes, blue and white, headed with a
stripe of plain blue, unites it with a
clasp consisting of two cornucopias
and the arms of the United States. The
medal is of bronze, and no distinction
has as yet been made by giving medals
of silver or gold where services of
peculiar heroism have been performed.
This medal is within the reach of the
humblest private in the army, and is
priced by its most distinguished officers.
A large majority of those who have
received the medal were enlisted men
in the volunteer ranks during the civil
war. but many have also been conferred
upon members of the regular army
aot only for heroic acts during the war,
hut similar deeds while engaged In
lighting the hostile Indians in the
ardous campaigns on the frontier. The
medals of honor for the navy were
authorized by an act of Congress
passed in the latter part of 1861, to be
accorded by the Secretary of the Navy
to such petty officers and others of in
ferior rank as should most distinguish
themselves by their gallantry in action
in the navy during the war. It was a
bronze in the form of a star with five
points, with device emblematic OF
