giving the Imperial Health Office control Of
the sanitary regulations Of the whole of
Germany. The different laws now existing
in each of the federated States make joint
action impossible, and the epidemic of
cholera has shown the necessity of central
authority. The negotiations for CONNER

ernor Flower has been threatened by an In
fernal machine sent him at the Windsor Hotel
a couple Of days ago The police officials

large number of detectives working on the
case. A box was sent to the Governor by
mail, but, he being absent, it was not
touched for a couple of days. When the
wrapper was taken off the box 1t seemed to
be such a queer contrivance that 1t was
deemed best to turn it over to the police.
The police inspector, after soaking the box
In water for two hours, raised the lid and
discovered within a cgar-box filed with
giant powder and matches, so arranged that
If the box was TO be opened under or
dlnary circumstances it would explode. The
deadly machine contained enough giant
powder to have blown the Governor into
eternity. 1t is said letter was received by
MIR. Flower before the package was left at
the hotel, warning him to be careful If be
received box and implying that an attempt
would be made Oh his life. This aroused
suspicion when the box was received.
There was great activity at the Detective
Bureau this morning, but the Inspector
would not admit anything In connection
with the Internal machine He claimed the
box contained nothing but seed oysters,
hence there was no mystery connected
with il.
Chief Inspector Stears at late hour this
afternoon sent for the reporters at police
headquarters and told them that the box
was Enthusiastically an Internal machine,
ingeniously eontriyed to kill the Governor
or whoever might open it, 1t was not
mailed in the postofiice. but lett on lamp

ALBANY, Sept. 17.-RegardinG the infer
nal machine Governor Flower said that on
Wednesday he received letter telling him
that he would receive a package through
the mail, and not to open 1T until it had
been thoroughly soaked in water. The
Governor turned the letter over to the po-
lice. This was all he knew about it.

special change was apparent this morning,

full DR.. Gardiner. after an examination of
Mrs. Harrison, stated that she had much
improved. The balance of the fluid was
withdrawn from her chest yesterday. She
stood the operation well, and now retains
some nourishment, and, for the first time
since her illness. Is able to lie on her back.
To-day has been the most favorable day
that Mrs. Harrison has experienced since
she was stricken down with pleurisy,
nearly ten days ago. and her physicians ex-
press confidence this evening of her re-
covery from that particular complication.
They gravely admit, however, that the ter
rible seeds of consumption are still present,
and are apt to continue their inroad on her
constitution.
The manner In which she overcame the
attendant complications encourages them
to the belief that she still has fighting
chance against the more serious nlalady with
which she is afflicted The report that she
has cancer Of the stomach is emphatically
denied by both Drs. Doughty and Gardiner.

But not all Of these men had moral
sense enough to look with disfavor upon
cheating even upon the other side. One
custom-house clerk named Horner testi-
fed on this point:
would hav done the eame thing myself,
believe in doing anything to win.
Another, named Reed, gave testimony
without a blush as follows:
! don't say l wouldn't cheat in the primaries.

All this was formally reported to the

OF the men concerned, and yet neither of
these precious scoundrels has aver been
removed or asked to resign from the
public service! How long would n
business man keep in his employ men
whose moral sense made determinations
between honorable" cheating and the
other kind? These open professors of
the ethics of the highwayman-who,
also "honorably' takes his risks in his
depredations-have never had it in any
way suggested to them that their moral
conceptions are below the standard
which the government is entitled to
exact Of its employees in positions of fin
ancial responsibility.
