lishod here, these passages occur:
"Doos 1t ever occur to you, Mr.. Sccro.
tary, that on our great lakes where VIC

THAT is in accordance with treaty
regulations which prohibit either tho
United States or Canada from keeping
more than one war vessel on tho lakes,
and that one is of very little account in
these days. l do not know that itwould
bo necessary to alter this state OF things.
Hitherto it has worked very well for
both countries. II We worc to increase
our armament on the lakes, tho other
side would do the same. | think, how
ever, that the treaty should be
extended to embrace the st. Lawrence
river rs vel! rs tho lakes, for now
British war ships come into tho st.
Lawrence and they cali lie close to the
entrance OF the Wclland canal and
might pass through suddenly in case Of
n quick springlng up OF 4 war, rs war in
these days happens. Congress alone
has the power to declare war. The
President cannot do so. lie might cx.
ert an illegal power under great provo

British, under the treaty, would keep

tho Ways and Means Committee.

IL Mr.. Springer Dios, May 10 Chairman OF
tho Ways and Means Committee.
Special Dispotch 10 he In'cHigsnccr
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 6.--Tho
condition OF Mr.. Springer throughout
the day has been such as to indicate
that his illness is, likely to terminate
fatally.
: There has been considerable discus
sion on the subject OF his probable sue
cessor as Chairman OF tho ways and
means committee in the event that he
should die.
1t has boon suggested to Speaker
Crisp that an opportunity would be nj
forded to heal the old sorc OF tho
speakership fights by restoring Mr..
Mills to tho head OF the committee over
which he presided in the Fiilicth Con-
grcss. Speaker Crisp has not indicated
that he will act on this suggestion and
the opinion is that Mr.. Mills would not
accept the proller at this time if it were
made on a gold plate. Mr.. McAlillin,
who has been practically tho floor leader
oil the Democratic side since the organiz-
atlOn OIL Inc present house, is in the
order OF precedence, but the speaker
may prefer TO keep him in his present
place on the committee on rules, where
he has recently been indispensable.
The next in order is Mr.. Turner, OF
Georgia. But he and the Speaker are
not particularly cordial, rs Turner,
while voting for Crisp for speaker,
heartily hoped for his defeat. After
Mr. Turner comes William l.. Wilson,
OF West Virginia, and many OF the
Democrats want him to be Jumped over
the heads Of McNIilin and Turner and
put in charge OF the work OF tariff revi-
sion.
Mr.. Wilson is a tariff reiormer OF the
Mills school, and his efforts in the line
OF revision will be moro radical than
the policy has heretofore been shaped
by Mr.. Springer. It is not beyond the
bound OF probability that he may be
called to the place in case it becomes
vacant by reason OF Mr.. Springcr's
death, and some members believe that
it will certainly be rendered him ii Mr..
McAlillin is passed by.

tomorrow, when the special order set

consideration OF the Bland free coinage
bill come up for discussion in tho
house. Both sides are marshallns their
supporters, and the attendance to-mor-
row promises to be fuller than on any

session. The anti-ireo coinage men
acknowledge that they vii! be defeated
unless tho unforeseen happens, but
nevertheless they arc putting forth
every effort to have nil their mon pres
ent and mako good showing on the
final vote.
There was some talk to-day to the ef-
feet that the anti3 would rciuso to vote
in order to break Il quorum. In this
plan the assistance OF the Republicans
was relied upon, but the more conserve
tive anti-silvcr Democrats do not relish
aprogram 4 which involves such dis
play OF antagonism toward the majority
OF thoir party.
MIR. lIarter, OF Ohio, who is tho lead
ing OF the anti-silver men, said ycster-
day that ho did not expect aid from the
Republicans.
The anti-silycr Democrats, he said,
could count OH eighty Democrats to
vote against the special order with Il
possibility that this number might be
increased TO l2O. The free silver men
are confident OF SUCCESS.

New YoRK, March G.-Tho health

Glcnmore died in terrible agony at tho
camp on North Brothers island this
morning. Tho unfortunate woman was
one OF tho little band OF nurses who
volunteered to take their lives in their
hands and go into the plague stricken

immigrants. who first brought, the
dread contagion to these shores. She
did much to alleviate the misery of the
poor outcasts but her life has paid tho
