way surgeons proved to be the sensa-
tional one of the convention. After
elccting officers and while the sur
geons were preparing TO quietly wind
up their business, heated discussion
was suddenly precipitatcd. Cholera
was Mt the bottom of the trouble, and
finally the doctors gave Tammany a
black eye by voting in favor of nation
al control of quarantine regulations
The discussion was on q paper by DIR.
Chilwood, of Indiana, regarding quar-
antine of cholera DR.. Louis, Of Kan
sas City, moved that the associotion ex-
tend to the quarantine officers of New
York n vote of thanks for the efficient
manner in which they maintained the
health of tho country at time when
the scourge seemed so near upon the
whole country.
DR.. Thomas II. Manly, OF New York,
the port of New York, and spoke
against national control. He contended
that the state of New York, if left
alone, would take care of the spread Of
the disease. DIR. Thorn contended that
this was nation with big n, and
that it should look after the health of
the country rather than the states in
questions of this kind. The vote of
thanks to Dr. Jenkins, of New York,
was then adopted,
DIR. Thorn then moved that it be the
sense of this convention that this ques-
tion of protection against cholera be
left to the national government. DIR.
Manley hoped that the motion would
not prevails; that the state of New
York was forever opposed to the pater-
nalism of the older countries, nor would
she stand to have her autonomy broken.
Then DR.. Rogers, of Memphis, in an
impassioncd speech, favored the ques-
ton being directly referred to the fed
eral government. He asserted the port
of New York was in the power of Tam
many and of it's most fertile vote
getters.
Then DIR. Manley renewed his motion
previously made to lay the matter on
the table, and receiving u second, the
convention, by a decided majority, re-
fused to entertain such a proposition,
and passed DIR. Thom's motion that the
matter should be left to the general
gove. nment. There was considerable
applause.

OPEN AGAIN


Because tho Unitcd States Fails of Do
cision-The injunction Against o Sunday
Fair Undecided.
CHICAGO. June 3.-Argument in the
case Of the Government VS. the Exhibi-
ton authorities for an injunction
against the opening of the gates on
Sunday, was concluded Friday.
Friday morning Attorney High, on
behalf Of the government made the
closing address, reviewing the argu-
ments already advanced, and insisting
upon the absolute character of the gov
ernmental control.
The court will take the matter under
advisement. II is doubtful whether y
decision will be reached this weeh.
Meanwhile the exposition authorities
have issued the usual notice to it's en-
ployes concerning tho opening of the
gates next Sunday.
District Attorney Milchrist said no
expected decision Friday. He would
not hazard an opinion as to tho outcome
OF the case. The impression prevails,
however, among the attorneys who
have listened to the hearing that the
court will rule that the government has
no authority over the fair TO the extent
of regulating tho hours and days of
closing the gates.

Force Other workmcD to Join Them.
CHICAGO, June 8.-There was reign
Of terror, Friday, along the route Of
The Chicago drainage canal, between
Lamont and Romeo. -Four hundred
uuarrymen struck for an increase of
wages, and armed with CLUBS and
revolvers, marched from one quarry
10 another, forcing the men to
quit work, thus gaining additions
TO their ranks, and stopping ut
many saloons on the way, until almost
crazed with liquor, they left the quar-
ries and rushed upon the nearest camp
of contractors on the great drainage
canal line. Camp after camp was vis-
tied, and in each men were driven from
work, and where they had temcrity to
resist, were assaulted. Many men were
painfully beaten, and 1t is thought that
one, James Powderly, will die.
The strikers encountered no really
serious opposition ut any of the camps
until they reached that of the McCor.
mick Construction Co. There they
were met by Mccormick himself, and
he told them not to do any damage to
the property. They began to hurl
stones at him, striking his horse and
bruising him. Mccormick retreated
and procured rifle, at sight Of which
they left. His men, however, are nll
quiet. At Mason, Hogan & Kings
camp the rioters struck and wounded
Peter King, brother of the con-
tractor. A freight train on the Santa
Fe killed enc of the strikers who was
on the traclS near Rorneo
The strike also extends to Joliet,
where from 800 to 400 men are out be-
cause of the same reduction. The
drainage contractors were unable to
learn why the strike had been ordered
on, as there was no reduction in the
wages for their work.

that they have been done away with.

A POPLAR TREH
And the Ghastly Secrets II Held For Forty
Years.

PADUcAH, KY, June IA most re-

ty. A poplar tree about five feet in
diameter was sawed down, and in the
hollow of 1t the remains-of q human
skeleton were found in q perfect state
of preservation.
The tree, to all appearances, was per-
fectly sound except about seven feet
above the ground, where there were
appearances that it had once been
chopped into, but the cavity had grown
over. Mr.. Gholson has known the
tree for forty years, and the hollow was
obscured during all these years the
same as when it was felled. The plac-
ing of the skeleton in the tree is sup
posed to have been the work OF the In
dians.
