THE CENSUS OF DEAF MUTEs.
A New Classification in 1904 Con-
ference at Kendall Green To-day.

conference of some importance took place
to-day at Kendall Green. Mr.. Robert B. Por-
ter, the superintendent of the census, and DR..
j. s. Billings, in charge of mortality and vital
statistics Of the censusus of 1890, met there DR..
Gallaudet, the President of the National Deaf
and Dumb college, and other gentlemen in
terested in the deaf mute class. There are two
things which the friends of the deaf mutes de-
sire the superintendent of the census to do.
The first is to avoid the classification made in
the last census, where the statistics about the
deaf mutes are printed in the special report,
which treats of the defective, dependent and de-
linquent classes of the community. The num-
Der of dear mutes in the country and other
facts about them may be found in the same
tables with the statistics about the insane.
idiots, the blind. paupers and prisoners. The
deaf mutes themselves and their friends feel
very strongly that
GREAT INJUSTICE WAS DONE
by classification of this kind. Mr.. Porter
agrees with them and has decided to place the
facts relative to the deaf mutes in the volume
devoted to social statistics, and have the prison
and pauper statistics printed in a separate
volume.
There is another topic which the friends of
the deaf mutes wish to discuss with Mr.. Por-
ter. As is well known, there has been for some
time discussion going on relative to the effect
of the
INTER-MARRIAGE OF DEAF MUTEs
Some competent men who have Investigated
the question believe that the increase of this
class is due to inter-marriage. There are also
other men equally learned and reliable who
have reached an entirely different conclusion.
Both sides, however, desire that the inquiries
made by the superintendent Of the
census, and the facts collected about
deaf mutes, should have some bearing upon
this question. The exact line of inquiry to be
pursued and its extent are matters that will re-
quire some study. In this particular, as well
as in all others, the superintendent proposes to
avoid any minute Investigation which will have
tendency to delay and burden the prompt
completion of the work intrusted to his care.

To DESTROY WREcKs.-The Yantic has been
ordered to put to sea from New York with
supply of torpedoes for the purpose of search
ing for and destroying derelicts and obstruc-
tons to navigation off the Atlantic coast in
the track of ocean steamers and coasting ves-
sells. She will carry the charts of the hydro
graphic Office, showing the drift of these
wrecks. The Yantic will go a reasonable dis
tance to the southwark of Cape Hatteras and
return as may be most convenient to Hampton
Roads, New York or Newport. Her instruc-
tions are to avoid destroying wrecks that can
probably be saved, and if advisable, not to dis
turb some of the distractions along the coast
within a marine league of the land.
To WARD OFF YELLOW FEvER.-Secretary
Tracy has determined to reduce to a minimum
the danger sustained by our sailors stationed
in West Indian waters from exposure to yellow
fever. 1t is regarded as necessary that naval
vessel should be kept there, but by frequent
alterations it will be possible to reduce the
danger in large measure. To carry out this
program the Ossipee has been ordered from
Key West to Hampton Roads, and one of the
vessels now at New York will be sent to relieve
the Galena at Cape Haytien.
