HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
Large Decrease in the Death Rate for Las
Week.

Large Decrease in the Death Rate for Last
Week.
The cool wave which followed the heated
term Of last week caused q very noticeable de-
cline in the death rate for the last few days.
says the health officer in his weekly report
The number Of decedents fell from 266 to 15S
in the seven daye and the death rate passed
down from 55.3 to 32.8 for the total
population. The number Of deaths in the
corresponding period Of last year was IA.
1t viii thus be seen that the death
rate has fallen to about the normal, considering
the evident steady increase in population. The
contagious diseases, except whooping cough in
mild form. have almost completely disap-
stamped out through the firm execution Of the
late law in regard to that disease and scar
let fever. Malarial cases are at q minimum
there having been but four deaths from typhoid
fever and two from malarial fevers throughout
the whole District. 1t may be remarked that q
over fifty years old. This class en-
braced nearly Is per cent Of the
total. The mortality among children
under five years Of age was sixty-seven,
as compared with about sixty, which would be
the normal number. Twenty-one persons died
from heat prostration during the week, mostly
middle-aged people.
The advance Of cholera westward still attracts
the attention Of European physicians, but no
recent development has occurred which need
cause uneasiness a. yet in this country.

The Nomination Of whiteIaw Reid and

New YORK. June 16.-The statement
made by Chauncey VI. Depew that the
differences between Whitelaw Reid and
Typographical Union No. 6 had been
adjusted, and that the union had re-
gucsted his candidacy. is a topic of
much discussion. 1t was stated by an
officer of the union to a United Press
reporter yesterday that Mr.. Depew had
spent some time with Mr.. Reid at his
home on Ophir farm, Tuesday night, in
regard to the matter but that no set
tlement had been reached The United
Press reporters informant SAID there
was very little likelihood of n settle
ment between the union and Mr.. Reid
being reached. The members of the
union say that if its committee at Min
neapolis gave Mr.. Depew to under.
stand that a settlement had been
reached between Mr.. Reid and the
union, it placed the union in false
position, and exceeded its authority.

Which will Result In the Dfsfranchisc-
mcnt Of Many Voters.
LONDON, June 1G.-Thc fixing of June
2S as the date for the dissolution of
parliament looks like an artful dodge
on the part of the conservatives to gain
an advantage over their opponents by
preventing any borough elections from
being held on a Saturday. The liber-
ais have been afraid of such an occur
encc, and have for weeks hem urging.
through their organs, the Injustice of
virtually disfranchising numbers of
workmen, who are mainly liberals.
Thousands of workingmen cannot vote
at all unless they do it on a Saturday,
and in addition to those wbo will be
wholly disfranchised. there are many
who will have their votoi crowded
out in another way. When an elec-
tion falls on any other than Saturday,
the workingmcn must wait until or s
o'clock in the evening before they can
go TO the polls. The balloting ma
chinery is often too slow in Its opera
ton to keep pace with the numbers of
voters offering themselves. and As n
consequence some votes fail to be re-
corded in season. All this tells more
severely against the liberals than
against the tories.
1t is expected that the elections in
Ireland will be the most turbulent for
a century past. The police. it is al
legged by the liberals, have received
secret orders to help the government
candidates, wherever they are stand
ing, as much as possible. but to pre-
serve an absolute neutrality where the
only candidates are representatives of
the warning Irish factions. These or
ders will probably be interpreted to
mean, in the latter case, "let them
fight it out" The result can be easily
imagined.
At the anti-Parnellite meeting in
Dublin yesterday there was much vir-
tuous denunciation of Tim Harrington.

break Justinian heed. Davitt dc
clared that he was opposed to all vin-
lence. Nevertheless, he did not pro-
pose to submit tamely to violence from
others. lie and his fellow Mccarthy
ties were tired of meekly enduring
threats of outrage from Harrington's
friends. They had borne insults and
blows long enough and he warned the
country that any one striking him
would regret the action. He knew
how to defend himself
