Depew Doesn't Agree with Adams.

New York, Dec. 1S-iSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE. -ChaunceY M. Depew says in re-
gard to the address read last Saturday be-
fore the Commercial club of Boston by
Charles Francis Adams on railroads.: 81 do
not agree with Adams as to the gigantic
consultations of which he speaks, but it
is true that the present intense discussion as
to the feasibility of great consultations, of
clearing houses, and of, so-called railway
trusts comes from MISUNDERSTANDING anxiety
of railroad managers and investors to over
come, in a lawful way, the difficulties of the
present situation. There can never be a
railway trust, in the sense In which that
word is understood. l think MIR. Adams de-
scription of the low moral tone of the rail
way managers of the country is too strongly
drawn. The majority of railway managers
are loyal to the properties under their con-
troll and bring to the performance of their
duties conscientious and tireless industry,
which is greater than that eXacted in other
great corporations. On account of the ma
ture of the business, our people have always
found their way out of difficulties in a man
ner which demonstrates their business
genius, and / think they needed the eXplo-
sion of a can of dynamite like that Mr..
Adams has fired off to start "A movement
which will end in a practical and wise solu-
ton of these railway problems
Depew ridicuIed the idea that there was
any probability of the inter state commerce.
law being repealed. He did not desire such
action, but would like to see some needed
amendments.

Shot By n Crazy Man.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. lS,-tSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Yesterday while G. G.
Horn was at work in the field near his house
preached him and asked if he knew of any
in South English, Keokuk county, u man APP
person wanting to hire a hand. Mr.. Horn
told him where he thought he could find
work, and then turned away, when the man
shot him just behind the left ear and ran.
Mr.. Horn was a respected citizen and was
not supposed TO have an enemy. The only
explanation of the shooting is that it was
done by a crazy man. The shooter is still
at large, though q vigorous search is being
made for him.

1t is Not Smallpox.
The following explains itself:

Inc following explains lJSeit:
To the Editor of The Bee: Your article
in Yesterdays issue, referring to smallpox
and the action of the board of health insti.
tuting quarantine at my residence, requires
some notice.
First, l desire to state for the information
of the public, and as a protection to my own
business, that / believe now, and have be-
lieved from the first, that the case at my
house is nothing but c~owpox-that is, an ag-
gravated case resulting from vaccination
alone, and not in the least . CON
tagious. am justified in this
opinion by the history of the case and the
fact that the eruption has almost entirely
disappeared, though less than eight days old
Had it been a case of varioloid, or modified
smallpox, the eruption would have lasted
nearly or quite two weeks, and others who
were exposed repeatedly, would have come
down with the disease ere this. While /
have no fault to find with the authorities for
the measures they have adopted to protect
the public in the case at my house, they are
certainly open to censure for the loose and
bungling manner in which they nave cared
for the unfortunates who have been commit
ted to their care.
The first case should have been confined to
the hospital where it developed, especially as
the city was without a pest house. 1t was
surely an act of folly to permit the removal
at all under the circumstances, but to DELHI
erately thrust the case into a snanty sur
rounded by a score OF contiguous residents,
consisting principally Of women and chill
dren, was little short of criminal. Here
was an instance where an ounce of prevention
would nave been worth a pound of cure.
And again, thlnk of a great numbering body
of city officials resolving themselves into "a
board of health and disputing with another
great numbering body of county officials as
to which of them should pay the bills for
handling smallpox cases. "Ye gods, it doth
amaze mel' Must these same plumbers be
repeated with every visitation of smallpox!
Must ignorance and imbecility continue to
govern when the precious lives of the people
are threatened by the dread malady small
