New YORK, Dec. Rev. DIR. Park
hurst issued reply to Superintendent
Byrnes' allegations tonight. He says
for the sake of argument he will for the
time plead guilty to all the charges made
by Byrnes.> He asks if his guilt iustifies
the Superintendent of Police in violating
the law by allowing gambling-houses
and houses of ill-tame to run.
DR.. Parkhurst then admits that he had
an obscene picture in his pocket at one
of the trials last spring, with which he
intended to illustrate 10 the court and
jury the disgusting revels he saw in GER
tain bawGy houses, but upon considering
the matter he decided not to produce ii.
Where he got the picture he does not
say.
AS to the shadowing OF city officials. he
says: THAT was done, and well done.
1t was done in the exercise of the dis
tinct right which / have, not as President
OF society for the prevention of crime
simply, but in my right as citizen. We
have gone quite too long without watch
ing our city officials, and that is part of
the difficulty we are laboring under to-
day"
Touching the divorce, he said it had
nothing to do with his onslaught on
crime. He continues by reproaching the

The Secretary calls attention to the
activity of the Marine Hospital Bureau
the past summer and fall. Owing TO the
threatened invasion of cholera, it is pro-
posed to keep in force the twenty-day re-
strlction until Congress has opportunity
TO express its viii III the matter, or until
the danger which prompted it has disap-
peared. Where railroads cross from
Canada into the United States no bag

is made to the establishment of Camp
Low Oh Sandy Hook, and the Secretary
says additions should be made to the
camp during the winter. with view to
its utilization should cholera again ap-
pear in the spring or summer.
On the subject of quarantine the Secre-
tary says: The State laws cannot prop
erly control or direct the management of
the great quarantines when other States
are interested. The whole country should
have voice in their ownership and man
agenent, and this can only be accom-
pllshed by such legislative action as will
forbid the collection Of quarantine fees by
State or municipal authority, and which
shall direct the assumption OF all quaran-
tine duties by the United States. The
most serious epidemic this country has
ever known has been traced 10 imnli-
grants, and il must be apparent the same
authority that controls immigration
should control the quarantine Admit

cuss scale of wages and certain changes
OF working hours with the officials.
There is no great difference on these
points, but the committee was appointed
by the railway telegraphers and not by
the employees of the Rock Island road,
and on this account the officers refused
10 meet it, although majority OF the
committee are employed by the Rock
Island. The officials declared they would
treat with their own men, but not recog-
nize the rights of the railway telegraphers
to interfere. The refusal to recognize the
order precipitated the strike. AT meet
ing OF the committee, presided over by
Chief ramsey, the matter was discussed
at length, and the sentiment was strong
in favor of a strike. Therefore at the end
OF the session an order was issued for the
strike as above stated.

not in position to furnish it.

fuel in California is greater than in the
States upon which he based his compari-
sons. He could not give any accurate in

Meets ut London.
LONDON, Dec. THE National Agri-
cultural Congress, called to consider the
grave situation of agricultural affairs in
Great Britain, met to-day. There were
l,5U0 delegates from over two hundred
agricultural associations present. Loud
cheers greeted the allusion to protection
as a remedy for troubles, but Hon, Henry
Chaplin assured them that the attempt to
put uuty on food would certainly be de-
1eated. y resolution was adopted affirm
ing that unfair competition OF untaxed
foreign imports with home products was
an injustice that called Tor immediate re-
moval. therefore competing imports
ought TO pay a duty OF not less than The
rates land taxes levied on the home pro-
ducts.
Chaplin said he hoped the conference
would adopt the principle of bimetal-
lism.
William Saunders. Radical member
of Parliament, attempted to denounce
protection, but was hooted down.
Francis Smith, a member Of the Lon
don County Council, who attempted 10
state that return To protection meant a
return to barbarism, was similarly
treated.
Mr.. Nethersole, farmer delegate. pro-
posed a resolution Affirming that the uu
fair competition OF untaxed foreign i'm
ports with home produce was an inius-
tice that called for immediate removal.
and therefore all competing imports
ought to pay duty not less than the rates
ana taxes levied on home products.
After a long debate the resolution was
adopted by a large majority.

to civilization. Crime is rampant and
corruption rife. The Territory to-

to-day, in answer to a resolution, trans

Secretary Of State on the agreement be-
tween the United States and Great Brit

Lakes. The resolution called for the
opinion whether the agreement of 1917
was now held to be in force. The Secre-

changed in 1864 shows it is so regarded.
1t does not appear. he says, that any
British or Canadian vessel is now or has
