WASHINGTON CITY, May 5-The confer

here yesterday. The principal speaker of
the day was DR.. 2. H. Bryce, of Toronto.
Ont, who maintained that consumption
was contagious in its nature, and the more
the disease Is understood the less credence
Is placed in the dangers from heredlty and
more from contact. DIR. Bryce also found
a connection between consumption in the
human species and in cattle, aud held
that the rate of increase and decrease be-
tween the two is proportionate. He advo-
Gated partial isolation of consumptive pa
tients, and proper supervision and santa
tion by health officers where the disease is
known TO exist. DR.. Vaughn. of Ann Ar
Dor, Mich, agreed with DR. Bryce in the
main, but doubted the extreme danger
from infected cattle The same views
were held by several other speakers.

ITALIAN OPINION.

A distinguished Italian resident of this
city says in reference to the rumor that the
Italian Government has sent Minister Porter
home: "Blaine Should have sent an answer
within twenty-tour hours. We know that
he has delayed doing so because he is wait
ing to hear Of the action taken by the New
Orleans authorities. He says States act by
themselves and independently Of the Gov
eminent and that in Louisiana the Grand
Jury is investigating the killing of the
prisoners. Italy says. however: have
nothing to do with Louisiana. My treaty is
with the United States."
This reasoning would require Mr.. Blaine
to proceed without the knowledge of facts
necessary to a correct understanding of the
case. Blaine is waiting for the State au-
thOritieS to ascertain these facts. Italy is
clamOring for an answer before Mr.. Blaine
knows what answer the facts will justify
him in making. The treaty so much stress
is placed upon provides that Italian resi-
dents shall have all the protection natives of
the country enjoy. One of the inquiries
naturally is if the fact of nationality had
anything to do with the killing. American
citizens take the chance OF such an uprising
Of the people as that at New Orleans. The
surest way to prevent punishment is not to
deserve punishment. If a foreign resident
is afforded the same protection as native
it is not easy to see on what ground in
demnity is asked. Mr.. Blaine has said:
1.-THE United States, so far from refusing.
has distinctly recognized the principle Of
indemnity to those Italian subjects who may
have been wronged by violation of the
rights secured to them under the treaty with
the United States of February 26, 1871"
The principle of indemnity to those Italian
subjects who may have been wronged is ad-
mitted. But what is to be done if facts
show that no Italian subjects have been
wronged? Suppose that the facts show
that the men killed at New Orleans were
murderers, who, by threats of assassination,
has escaped conviction by the courts. Our
Italian citizens will perceive the absolute
necessity of thorough investigation of the
facts concerning the killing and those which
aroused the public of New Orleans to the
point of administering justice with their
own hands as

SOME FACTS FOR CONSIDERATION.

One of our newspaper contemporaries
pirates about the Improvement OF our streets,
park. etc. It says that the Bulletin has al
ways opposed improvements" and it points
directly to the park. This statement
Is untrue and we know perfectly well
whereof we speak But for the eXer-
tions If the proprietoys Of the Bulletin
we do not believe the inhabitants of
san francisco would have obJain-d the
great park which they now possess. 1t was
through their exertions principally that the
park was reserved, and they were abused at
every step while they were cOntending for
the Tig Is of our citizens. San Francisco
owned a large ira t Of land, but spectators
had dropped all over it and claimed it. The
Bulletin pr0prieloTs stood almost alone con-
tending in and out of season for the public.
The Bulletin pruprietOUs struggled st!ll fur
ther; they advocated surveying the out
side lands into moderately sized building
lots and having the municipality donate
one OF these lots to the head of
each family in San Francisco. Our citizens,
however, did Mt sustain the Bulletin in its
efforts to give every family in the city
homestead, so the spectators took the land
in large tracts, except that reserved for the
park. Thus went the princely patrimony
of the people Of San Francisco. Again, as
to opposing improvements generally, the
propTiators Of the Bulletin have always ad-
vocated improvements, including the park,
streets and the City Hall. but the money APP
prOpriated for these purposes has been more
than one-half of it absorbed by spectators,
rings, etc. Look at our streets, for instance.
Three-quarters of the sum provided for their
improvement has been thrown away on
wooden pavements, patent asphaltum blocks,
brick soaked in tar, and a dozen other ap-
planes which our readers may readily call
to mind. The City Hall has been another
sink where money has been planted by
millions, and much of it uselessly. The
BEUetiH has been in favor of improve
ments. but it has urged that Improvements
could be made without permitting more
than one-half tine sum raised for the purpose
being stolen. Some money has been wasted
upon the park, but far less than upon our
streets, the City Hall and the different de-
parimenIs. All things considered however,
our citizens may congratulate themselves
that they have park, for it is worth mill
ions. and if taken care Of it will give the
Iaboring population enjoyment and health.
