THE WEEK AT WASHINGTON,
What Senators and Representatives. Have
Done in the Way of Public Business.

Done in the Way of Public Business.
In the Senate on Wednesday of last week
Mr.. Teller made speech in favor Of free
coinage. The session of the House was
given up to a discussion OF the Noyes- Rock
we'll case.
The House bill to prohibit the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States came
up for consideration in the Senate Thurs
day. Mr.. Sherman said that the bill in
severity Of language, and In its prohibition
| OF the ordinary rights Of humanity, went
far beyond any bill probably ever intro
duced in Congress. He thought the Senate
should agree to an amendment extending
the present legislation for 10 years and let
the bill, as thus amended, 60 to a confer
ference committee, and If additional lie yisla-
tion should be deemed necessary, il could be
recommended by the conference committee.
The House bill, he added, was against the
spirit of American civilization, ontrary to
all the ideas that had been taught as the
rights belonging to every man of every race
| and was decidedly unohristian. He did not
doubt Chinese inning grafton was Injurious
and ought to be restricted, but 1t was re-
strioted under existing laws. The United
States, he said, had a vast commerce with
China amounting to many millions year. Ii
this bill were passed. China would have no
diplomats and no consuls here, and the
United States would have no commercial
relations with China. The city OF Van
couver would soon rival San Francisco In
| commerce and trade. II this bill became a
law Americans residing in China would
have to leave there. He denounced the bill as
| violation of the treaty with China. The
| commercial rivals OF the United States, he
| said, would be glad to have the measure en-
acted into a law. The Noyes- Rock well case
| again occupied the day in the House
The Senate on Friday passed the urgent
deficiency bill. In the House the contested
election case Of Noyes against Rock WELL
from the 2Sth New York district was dis
the republicans in favor Of the ma jority re-
port that Noyes rep was entitled to the
seat but the report was defeated. Mr..
Rockwell dem.) was then seated by vote
Of lsS to 1U6.
| In the House Saturday the bill was con
| sldered tor the establishment of miltaI v
| post on the line OF railroad between Bur
| lington and Hlghgate, Vt. No conclusion
| wes reached.
The Senate Monday passed the Chinese
exclusion act In the House there was a
tilt between Speaker Crisp and ex-Spsak or
Reed over the quorum question.
In the Senate Tuesday Messrs. Coke and

ing any response to several signs. a deck
hand was sent to determine the trouble. In
moment the boat struck the slip a clano.
ing blow which threw several passengers
down.
When Capt. Tuthll had been informed of

remove Gray's remains from tina machinery.

TYPHOID FEVER.

The European edition of the New York
Herald contains some valuable pointers
from distinguished European medical
authorities on the subject of the cause
and the methods of prevention of
typhoid fever. 1t says:
To cure a disease and cure the greater
part of the persons who are attacked by 1t
is very well, as far as il goes; but TO pre-
vent the disease from spreading and to re-
strict its endemic character is better still,
as the process is a more certain one. For
this reason we should receive with interest
all the preventive measures which sound
hygieniC ideas nowadays advise against
contagious diseases, in the foremost
rank Of which we find typhoid
fever These measures have recent
ly been again considered by the Conseil
d'Hygieue de Paris, which propose the
following resolutions, remarkable for their
precision and practical character
The germ of typhoid fever resides in the
excavations Of the patient The disease is
spread by means Of water contaminated by
such excavations or by any object which
has been soiled by them.
During an epidemic Of typhoid fever all
drinking water ought TO receive great at
tentlOn. Recently DOlleu water gives dO-
solute security. Water treated in this
way should be used in bread making and
in washing vegetables.
Before eating the hands should be wash
ed with soap.
The excessive use of alcohol, indeed ex-
cesses of all kinds, especially great fatigue,
cause a predisposition for the disease.
This is right in line with the oft re-
peated advice of the REGISTER on the
subject Of our water, namely, that the
only safe plan to pursue is to boil and
filter it. Water used in the preparation
of food and for drinking should at least
be boiled. This will cause very slight
trouble and every family can do it,
and thereby, doubtless, save many a
doctors bill.
