A SMALLPOX SCARE.

The Palmer House in Chicago Harbors
M an Unwelcome Guest.
CHICAGO, May 23.-What may prove
to be case Of malignant smallpox was
discovered at the Palmer house in this
city today. 7. F. Meek, a travelling man
from Philadelphia, arrived Saturday
from trip through Canada and Ohio.
Yesterday he complained of severe aches
and fever, and today was worse. Doctor
Brynon was called, and after careful
diagnosis OF the case determined that it
was smallpox: In order to make no mis-
take he called in Doctors Bates and
Montgomery. The three spent the after
noon with Meek. and decided that il
must be some form of smallpox. The
health department was notified ct once
and Meek was removed to the pest house
within an hour. He will be given the
best care, and the doctors hope for his
recovery. The room he occupied at the
Palmer house has been thoroughly fumi-
gated and all persons exposed were vac
cinated at once, 80 the health depart
ment thinks there is no likelihood that
it will spread. Maybe the case will
prove only varioloid or viriola, but II
was deemed best to take the utmost pre-
cautions, and the symptoms certainly
are grave.

CHICAGO, May 23.-Col. William r.
Morrison, chairman Of the interstate
commerce commission, and for many
years chairman Of the ways and means
committee Of the house Of representa-
tives, has suddenly forged to the front
as q somewhat formidable presidential
candidate, and his friends assert that he
will be presented to the national con-
vention as the choice Of the Illinois dele
CATION in case Cleveland ID not NOM
mated by storm.
The meeting Of the new state central
committee here today was productive Of
not little surprise when presidential
preierencesswere canvassed. The forty
eight delegates from Illinois to the con-
vention are instructed in favor of
the nomination of Palmer, should
it be deemed expedient to come
west for q presidential candidate.
It appears certain, however. that
Colonel Morrison, and not Palmer, is
the choice Of very decided majority of
the Illinois delegates, and after the
primary ballot for Cleveland and . COM
plimentary one for Palmer, it is the in
tention that the majority throw the
solid support Of Illinois to Morrison.
That gentleman himself was in the
city today, and was very busy receiving
visitors and conierring with political
leaders from Al parts Of the state. He
has nothing to cay, but his friends en-
Enthusiastically insisted that he would re-
ceive the support of Missouri, Arkansas,
Texas, Kentucky, and indeed nearly all
OF the solid south, whenever Illinois

SANTA FE REORGANIZATION.

The London Times Says 1t Is Plan to
Cinch Common Stockholders.
LONDON, May 23.-The Times, COM
menting on the proposed scheme to re-.
organize the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, says: That the common stockholders
would make no sacrifice, was to be ex-
pected, as the bulk of the income bonds
are held here, and the holders are sup
posed to be quite defenseless against
such high-handed treatment. If money
ia wanted for the legitimate develop
ment Of the line proper, the course is to
pay the income bondholders the full
dividend, not in cash but in common
stock for year or two. and use the
money due them for improvements. It
is an injustice to ask the holders to
accept q further reduction of the miser-
able revenue promised them after the
cruel sacrifices forced from them in
1889 for the benefit of the common
stockholders, which, if equity had been
observed, would have been wiped out in
1889 unless they paid their assessments.
