THE BEE Isaac H. Bromley assistant to
President Adams of the Union Pacific, ,retiros
March /, due TO the collapse of the effort of
the company to come to an amicable under
standing with the government, which nego-
tiatons were conducted under the auspices

no further efforts in this direction.
In accepting the resignation Mr.. Adams
replied: I'VE have not got settlement with

to get one, but the tone of the
press toward US has, largely
through your eXertions, been greatly moder-
ated and our case is fairly understood. Under
these circumstances do not see any field
for active work which remains for you here.

tion of entering on any wide effort at railroad
reform calling for discussion through the

futile attempt at an honest settlement, and

CABINET TALK.
The "WorId" Asserts that Plntt has
No Show.


New York, Jau S.-[Specal Telegram to
The BEE. "A special to the World from
Washington says have positive informa-
ton, obtained from an active member of the
republican national executive committee,
only recently returned from the west, the
publication of whose name is, of course, pro
hibited, but whose identity can be readily
guessed, that General Harrison has decided
not to appoint Thomas c. Platt to the secre-
taryship of the treasury, or, in fact, to any
other cabinet position. He has also Hfully
determined not to give Warner Miller the
treasury portfolio, although he may invite
MIR. Miller to become the, new member of
the presidents advisory bOard-the
commissioner of agriculture. Whether
Miller will accept this appointment or not is
a matter of conjecture. He is ANXIOUS to
appointment he may feel in losing the more
siOnership. The treasury portfolio is not to
go to New York. You can put that down as
apositive fact. Where it is to go my inform
ant did not know. New York will, how
ever, be offered another portfolio in the
shape of the navy, attorney generashp or
postmaster generalship, and will thus have,
should Miller accept, two representatives in
the cabinet Outside of the secretaryship of
the treasury and secretary of state it is GER
tain that the prcsident-elect has determined
upon the members of his official family.
These two important offices are still de-
batable in his mind, although it is pretty
clear that he has come close to decision in
one of them.

A SMALLPOX Epidemic.
Several Hundred Gases said to Exist
I'm Denver,


Kansas CITY, Jan. 1S.-Seven persons
fleeing from the smallpox scourge at Denver
arrived in the city last night en- route east.
They report that business is very much de-
moralRed, and people are getting out of the
city by every train. They say that from the
best authority they could obtain there are $50
cases of the disease in different stages now
in that city, and that fully 700 Of them are in
the city pest house. Very little or no atten-
tion has been paid to quarantine, and in many
residences where cases exist there are no
placards to denote its presence The news
papers of the city have refrained from max
ing mention of the scourge, and hundreds
of people are thrown in contact with it
through Ignorance. Within the last two or
three weeks number of people afflicted
with the disease have come away from
Denver and stopped in different towns
in Kansas. Seven cases were taken to
Oberlin, Kan, and there isolated to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. Two cases
were sent to Kansas City and were at once
taken in charge by the health authorities.
City Physician Fee discredits the state
ments made by the fugitives from Denver.
While he thinks that 1t is probable that
there are number of cases in that city, DR..
Fee does not deem it necessary to quarantine
against Denver until more authentic infor
nation is received. Should the reports
prove true, it will be necessary for the au-
thorities here to use precautions to prevent
the introduction of the disease in this city.
a few weeks ago the attention OF the city
physician was called to a case of smallpox in
the west bottoms, and it was found that the
sufferer had just arrived from Denver, hav
ing been employed as clerk in one of the
hotels in that city. The man was taken TO
the hospital and recovered in u few days.
The winter season is so far advanced that
it is not probable that an outbreak would
occur here after such mild temperature dur
ing the first half of the winter

DARING POLITICAL SCHEME.
A Councilmanic Revolution Takes
Place in Boston.

BosToN, Mass, Jan. 1S.-[Special Tele-
gram to The BEE. There was q re
markabe action in the common council last
night. The democrats have one majority in
that body, but when 1t was organized last
week two of the democratic members voted
with the republicans and aided them in
making Horace Allen president. AT last
nights meeting some of the democrats
saw that they were in decided major
ity, some of the members being alb
sent, and they proceeded to unseat the two
democrats who voted with the republicans,
and to put stalwarts in their places. They
now propose to depose President Allen,
there being no provision in the city charter
TO prevent such action, and put democrat
in the chair. The daring of the scheme
rivals anything Tammany ever conceived,
and what makes it more eXasperating, the
citizens hands are tied. The outcome of it
will probably be the ultimate abolishing of
that branch of the city council Sentiment
is setting strongly in that direction.

generally in a mild form. So far only two
deaths haye occurred and people have no

prominent democrats of South Dakata, who
have been urging the passage of the senate
bill for the admission of South Dakota, feel
much dissatisfied with the Springer omnibus

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Jan. lS.-The steamship
Hayten Republic was run into by the Hay
tien gunboat Novelle Voldrogue on the night
of December 20, infiicting but slight injuries
to either vessel The Haytien gunboat was
entering the harbor at full speed and could
have steamed to her anchorage without any
change of course, but when within 200 yards
of the Haytien Republic her helm was sud
denly put to port and remained so until
she struck that vessel. The gunboat
was hailed, but no answer was made,
neither did her captain attempt to ascertain
the amount of damage done or offer assist
ance. After ascertainng the damage done
the Galcna sent an armed boats crew to the
offending gunboat, where the statement was
made that rtbe jamming Of the tiller
ropes was the cause of the collision. 1t is the
opinion that it was deliberate attempt to
sink the released ship. 1t is question
whether the scheme was by other authority
than the captain of the gunboat.
The board of the Galena's officers met
next day and a demand for an investigation
was made upon the Haytien government
These reports will be considered and redress
demanded.
Upon the return of the Galena from King
ston, jamaica on January Admiral Luce

considered the blockade Of all the northern
ports voluntarily raised because of the de-
sertion of their post by all the blockading

American vessels he would "demand their
