HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
The Largest Number Of Deaths Except Dur
ing Last Aprii-vital Statistics.

The Largest Number Of Deaths Except Dur
ing Last Aprii-vital Statistics.
THE deaths last week numbered no." says
the weekly report Of Health Officer Hammett.
This number has only been exceeded pre-
viously when In April Of last year, during the
last two weeks Of the month, the mortality
reached IFS and ISL respectively. This large
death rate does not seem to have resulted from
any distinct disease and death has not spared
any especial class of persons, except that the
mortality among the white is much greater
than that among the colored race.
There were but thirteen deaths attributed
to influenza as the original exciting cause. OF
these eleven were white and two colored.
Seven Of them determined to the lungs two to
the intestines, two the heart and two gave SIM
ply grip" as the cause of death. AL Of the
thirteen were over forty-fve years Of age ex-
cept two.
'Sixty-three Of the total deaths were fifty
years OF age and over, with an average age of
sixty-eight years. Sixty-three we're under five
years old. These rates are normal, and do not
indicate any particularly noticeable malady.
Perhaps the most salient feature of the
week. death rate appears in the large number
OF cases of complicated lung troubles. There
were seventy-seven deaths from these causes,
thirty-three Of which were Of pneumonia and
seventeen Of bronchitis. Fourteen OF those
WHO Uleu OF DrOncnltlS were cnuureu unuer
one year Of age and three were persons far ad-
vanced in life.
"Ihere seems to have been a decline in the
number OF marriages in the city, there having
been but nineteen returns made. Ninety-seven
births were reported, which, compared with
the number OF deaths, would indicate either
that the mortality of the District greatly ex-
ceeds the gain by birth, or that there is an
omission on the part of those attending at the
birth of children and whose duty is imposed
by law to make this legal and important re-
port"
The report shows: Number Of deaths, 10;
white, 102; colored, 60. Death rate per 1000
per annum: White, 3I.2; colored. 44.2. Total
population, 35.3. Sixty-three were under five
years OF age. 40 were under one year old and A
over sixty years. Thirty-one OF the deaths
occurred in hospitals and public institutions
The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic,

MIR. OATES BLACKMAIL BILL.
It Will Be Properly Amended by the Senate
Judiciary Committee.


1t can be authoritatiyely stated that when the
Oates bill ito define and punish backmaiing"
returns from the Senate committee on the ju-
dietary it will be amended SO that its provisions
will apply only to blackmailers. Since The
STAR first called attention to the strange and
unfair comprehensiveness of the measure a
great deal of attention has been directed to-
ward the bill, and when The STAR
placed the matter before Senator
Teller personally yesterday afternoon the
clear headed lawyer and legislator at once saw
that the bill, which proposed to define ridicule
as blackmail, was, in that respect at least, an
absurdity. At the earliest possible moment
Senator Teller took definite action. He is "a
member of the committee ON the judiciary.
He asked that the bill be recommitted to tine
committee and at the same time remarked that
1.-THE bill evidently got out Of the committee
without such attention as it should have re-
ceived."
There was no objection, so the bill was re-
committed.
Senators Wilson and Mitchell Of the same
committee were among the large number of
Senators who were spoken to on the subject by
The STAR and they were emphatic in their
declarat tons that the committee never intended
to make ..ridicule" and 'blackmail' synony-
nous terms. Senator Mitchell said the bill
was ordered reported while he was absent from
the committee meeting.
Several Senators were prepared to combat
the measure and to insist upon its amendment,
but it is almost certain that the committee will
SO readjust the language OF the bill as to make
il unobjectionable to all but blackmailers.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Senator Sanders Talks About the Number
of Useless Bills introduced.

Senator Sanders, in a very polite and SEN
atorially proper manner. jumped on one or
two OF his legislative associates yesterday
afternoon. The sarcastic mountaineer and
plainsman is bSe rarely mirrored in the Con-
yressiOndl Record, but he got there yesterday.
He was discussing the bill 20 reform public
printing aud the distribution of documents,
and in the course Of his remarks said: Il
have been myself somewhat surprised at the
quality of the bills which have been intro
duced in the two houses of Congress- bills
which / undertake in this presence to saw
in a multitude of instances no man sitting
in this chamber or in the other House
would think for a moment OF favoring, bills
that cucumber the records and occupy the
time and confuse the minds Of those who
come here with serious intent, and this has
been done upon a theory not wholly to be
condemned, that if Tom or Dick OF Harry, or
other people more thoughtless than they
think some thing particularly and unduly alb
surd ought to be done. he prepares bill
and forwards it to his Representative, and it is
put in here, not as having been Endorsed
by any person who could be elected to the
senate Of the United States or to the other
House. but as the petition Of the nobody who
prepares it,
while 1 do not think it would be fair for
Senator to decline to introduce q bill SIM
ply because in his own judgment il were
not wise to be passed in the form in which
1t was presented. L still do think that he
ought to vouch to his brother Senators that
he believes that in It and around ii and about
1t there is some merit which, il its form
should be changed, it would be well to
weave into law"
