CAUGHT IN DISSECTION.
Grave Fears That Dread TyphuS Has
Travelled West.


ST LOUIS, Feb. Fred NJ. White of
San Antonio, Tex, student at the college
of physicians and students here, was taken
suddenly i'll at the lecture Thursday, and
died within twenty-four hours. The symp-
toms were so peculiar that the doctors re-
fused to sign death certificate until ordered
TO do so by the Health Department, and to
give scarlet fever as the cause of death.
On Friday George Hirndon of Kentucky
was seized with similar symptoms to those
of White and died this morning. On Satur-
day David Brown was taken Ill of appa-
rently the same disease, and died this after
noon. In all three cases the attending ply
sicians were unable TO determine the exact
cause of death, and referred the matter to
the Health Department
The doctors report calls attention to the
suspicious nature of the cases, and says:
"The cases, toward their termination, mani
tested symptoms of such character that
it caused grave doubt as to the possibility
OF the existence of cerebral typhus. as diff
feren.iated from suspected cerebro-spinal
meningitis"
The doctors insist upon an official inveSti-
CATION for the purpose of determining the
exact truth upon so vital point.
Mr.. Graves says: Student Whites case
was not malignant scarlet fever. 1t was
typhus."
Among the students the sickness caused
widespread CONSERVATION. After Whites
death the college closed, and the men began
leaving for home. The students express
the belief that the disease, whatever 1t may
be, was caught by the men In the dissecting-
room.
Laler-An autopsy was held on the body
of Herndon, being finished late tonight.

sinate the Gar or members of the imperial

motive.
Senator Chandler managed to give politi-
cal twist TO the debate ON the automatic
coupler bill. He brought up the resolution
in the national Democratic platform which
denounced the Republican party and The
Republican Senate for not having provided
legislation for protecting railroad employees,
and insisted that the position OF many ID mo-
cratic Senators against the bill was incOn-
slste Mt with their party fealty. He twitted
them with the fact that only seven of them
voted yesterday to take up the bill for the
repeal of the Sherman act, knowing the
declaration of the national Democratic con-
vention on the subject Of silver, and know
ing the entreaties of the Presdent-elect TO
have the Sherman act repealed before the
4th Of March, and he predicted that The
course of the Democratic Senators in the
next Congress on the subject of the tariff
would be equally al variance with the party
platform. After considerable debate the bill
went over without action.
The Senate bill for the relief of the as
signees or legal representatives Of John

SPASMODIC ECONOMY.
Several Statesmen Have Schemes for
Cutting Down Expenses.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.--In the House the
Senate amendments to the Garter bill OF
lading bill was concurTed iD, and the House
then proceeded, in committee Of the whole,
to the consideration Of the legislative appr0-
priation bill. Dingley said that the apDTo-
priatlons made by this Congress would
reach S1,03S, COO 000 against S90S 600, 900
made by the Fifty-hrst Congress, an in
crease OF S13.OO0,O00 If there should be no
tariff legislation to disturb the revenue for
the fiscal year 1894 it would undoubtedly
reach S405, 100000. and the expenditures
should not exceed $500, OC0,0 600, and would
not, If the river md harbor expenditures
should not exceed $4,000 600. which was
81, 600 600 more than was ever expended.
If they should go up TO S33. 600 coo, as con-
tempated by the action of the House, there
would inevitably be a deficiency next
year. The tariff legislation foreshadowed
would undoubtedly diminish the reve-
nue.. unless the duties should be
made low enough to enormously swell
impOrtatOns. The free woods and woolens
bills passed by the House at the last session
would render So, 100000 OF revenue on
wool and $40. 100000 on manufactured wool.
on the basis of tho importations of the last
enormous increase of the importatons of
woolen goods to make good the loss.
Dockery estimated the probable deficiency
to June 80, 1894, as SIG, 996, 500. This est-
mated deficiency was based on the supposi-
tion that the appropriations. revenues am
actual expenditures for that fiscal year
were likely to reach the limit Of liabilities
S52S, 110.246. This was entirely exclusive
of the $4,000, 600 probable inadequacy de-
ficiency estim ate which was submitted for
the current fiscal year. Taking the state
ment of the Secretary OF the Treasury as
conclusive, the fact was irresistible that
public expenditures must be materially re-
duced. taxation increased or a new issue of
bonds made TO meet the impending iabili-
ties.
The bill was then read for amendments
and amendments were offered, respectively,
by Wheeler 10 reduce the compensation of
members Of Congress to $4,000, and by Miller
to reduce the compensation of the President
to S25, 900. Both were rejected.
Dearmond (D) OF Missouri offered an
amendment providing that until places in
the classified service shall be distributed
among the adherents of the several political
parties, in proportion to their respective
members as shown by the vote cast at the
last Presidential election, no applicant. un-
less he be an adherent of political party
which has not had its fair proportion OF en-
ployes In such service, shall be eligible to
examination or appointment under the civil
service law.
Lodge made a point of order against the
amendment, which was defended by Dear
mond The chair, however, ruled the
amendment out of order.
Picker made vigorous attack on the
provision Of the bill providing for a COM
mission to inquire into the working of the
executive departments, and without dispos-
ing of the paragraph the committee rose and
the House adjourned.

ty Dugue de la FaucorneYs were to-day

Late this afternoon it was announced
that ex- Deputy Gobron had been committed

court, judicial lquidstor OF the Panama
Cana Company. his check for %. coo francs,
the amount credited to Grevy on the Thier-
rec eounterfolls as having been delivered to
him in 1888.
In the Chamber today Deputy Angeles
spoke at length In favor of the Govern
ment obtaining from the Colombian Gov
ernment prolOngation Of the canal conces-
sion and asked the Ministry whether any
steps to this end had been taken.
Rib0t replied guaTdedly that the Govern
ment must decline to interfere directly in
the matter. The Government would aid the
judicial lquidator however to a certain ex-
tent in his efforts to get an extension.
Deputy Gauthier in sisted that the Govern
ment must accept the responsibility which
RibOt declined. If the stockholders lost the
hundreds OF millions already expended
through the hestancy of The Government to
interfere the Government would have to
answer for the consequences.
Ribot replied that the object of Gauthier
and lis colleagues was apparently rather TO
make political capital than to assure the
future of the canal
Before a vote was taken on the order Of
the day Tirard, Minister Of Finance, evoked

LONDON, Feb TN the Commons this
evening Gladstone said he voiced the feel
ing of all parties in rising 10 propose that
debate on the address should have prece-
dence until it was concluded. Then fOl-
lowed spirited debate. during which
Healy accused Balfour Of obstruction to
Government measures, and Gladstone stated
that he would be forced to apply clOture if
debate ON the address was protracted. The
suggestion of clOture met with the disap-
proval Of the Irish members, and Glad
stones motion to give precedence was
finally approved and the de bate resumed.
Some excitement was caused in the course
OF the day by the disappearance OF the
irish home-rule bill Gladstone missed in
the morning the portfolio containing ths
bill, as we'll as drafts of other measures
After long and exciting search it was found
in Gadstone's private room, but there is
still mystery as TO how the portfolio got
there.
Keir Harle. labor member, moved an
amendment expressing regret that the ad-
dress had not mentioned the widespread
misery existing among the wOrkingmen OF
Great Britain. The Government, he said,
should take steps 10 alleviate the immediate
distress By ordering that in all workshops
the minimum wages should be sixpenee per
hour for week of forty-eight hours, and
that all Government contracts should be
given out in England. The time was ripe
also for the regulation by law of the hours
Of railway employees. The Government.
moreover, should establish home colonies
OF unused land where the unemployed could
find an opportunity TO earn their bread.
Howard Vincent, conservative and fair
trader, supported the amendment.
Sir John Gorst, Financial Secretary of
the Treasury IN the last Salisbury Cabinet,
spoke strongly for Hardie's amendment.
and Mundella. president of the Board OF
Trade, tainted the opposition with the
suddenness of its solicitude for the work
ingman. Mundella announced that the
Ministers would regard the vote on the
amendment as a vote of confidence.
The amendment was lost. 276 to 100.
The House then adjourned.
The result of the debate in the House this
evening has been that the Ministers have
decided to apply cloture on Friday in case
the address be still under discussion at that
time. The purpose is to clear the way for
introducing the home-rule bill on next Mon
day.
