Surgeon-Generai Wyman's Report on
the Subject.

SUPERINTENDENT Wyman's Report on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Supervising
Surgeon-General Wyman of the Marine
Hospital service, in his annual report,
calls attention to the prevalence of lep-
rosy, particularly in the neighborhood of
the West Indies and South America, and
to the presence of the disease in various
cities and localities of the United States,
and states that cases may be allowed to
exist undisturbed in some localities by
the health authorities, because no provi-
sions IS made for their segregation.
Whatever theories may be advanced re-
gardlng the contagiousness of the disease
there is no doubt that where indifference
is manifested as to the isolation it slowly
spreads, and as no State possesses a leper
hospital the establishment Of national
leper hospital is recommended.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 30.-Judge Reynolds
this forenoon non-suited the plaintiff in
the case of Rea VS.. Wood for Sl00, 900
damages for slander.
The grounds of this action were that
the words, if spoken, did not affect Rea
pecuniarily or injure his reputation as
Railroad Commissioner, and that as the
suit was not brought until after the cleo
ton, the time had passed for actionable
measures. Another ground was that a
person in Office cannot be affected in
reputation more than a person in private
life. and that there was no imputation
that Rea's private reputation for honesty
had been smirched. Notice of appeal was
given.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The actual charges
against Captain Boileau and Captain
Butcher, which led to their names being
stricken from the army list, are not yet
known, but the conjecture that they grew
out of the retreat from Manipur is pro-
bably correct In fact, the st. James Ga
Sette to-day publishes comment upon
the sentence imposed, in which it is taken
Tor granted that this is the reason. The
Gazette says in part: Mrs. Grimwood's
narrative is evidence that the retreat was
disorderly stampede. 1t was not made
to save her life. On the contrary, she was
left to save herself until the fugitives re-
covered from the panic. The retreat
1rom Manipur was necessary; but stand
might have been made in the hills in the
vicinity. Had this been done, the lives
of the captives might have been saved
At any rate, the disaster would not have
been disgrace. But the disaster calls
Tor more than the Punishment of the two

points are involved in the decision of
these suits, and the court heard all the
cases as one. and made an order by
which each of the attorneys representing
the three firms assigned one of the points
at issue TO be reviewed in the opening
argument.
w. w. Smith of New York argued the
bounty clause, contending that bounties
were unconstitutional and invalidated
the whole Act. Edwin B. Smith, ex-
Assistant ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and now of
New York, said the reciprocity feature
was a delegation of taxing power to the
President, which vitiated the whole Act.
y. w. Bliss of Chicago argued that the
law was unconstitutional because of the
