BRIEFLY TOLD.

F. D. Somerby, supreme justice of the
collapsed order of the Iron Hall, was an
rested Saturday in Philadelphia.
The New York Sun hears that Presi-
dent Harrison intends before retiring
from office to issue proclamation cut
ting off the bonding privilege now grant
ed to Canadian railroads, the Presidents
action being in retaliation for the impo-
sition of tolls on American vessels using
Canadian canals. A Washington despatch,
on the other hand, says the President
will take no sweeping action without ad-
ditional legislation by Congress.
The long overdue steamer Umbria
reached New York Saturday 1t was
then learned that her machinery stopped
on Friday, December %, on account of a
break in the shaft, when she was south
of the banks of Newfoundland. The Boz
hemiaV towed her IS miles the next day,
but the hawser broke and the steamers
lost sight of each other. Then the UNI
bria drifted until Tusday, when the
shaft was patched up SO she could pro
ceed slowly. The failure of the Gallia
to stand by the Umbria is attributed to a
misunderstanding of signals.

TALKED OF THE CHOLERA.
State Board of Health viii Ask for In
creased Flowers
rSnecial to the Press.l

AUGUSTA, December 31.-The fourth
quarterly meeting of the State Board of
Health was held at it's Office at the State
House today. There were present the
president, E. G. Jordan, Portland: DIR. G.
d. Smith, Portland; Dir. G. A. Horr,
Lewiston; Prof. F. G. Robinson, Bruins
wick; w. R. Chaplin, Bangor, and the
secretary, DR.. A. G. Young.
The secretary was instructed to pre-
pare and issue circular to local boards
of health, advising more uniform mea-
i,ures in the management of measles, for
which heretofore restrictive measures
have not been urged. 1t was decided 10
ask the legislature during the approach
ing session to enlarge the powers OF the
board by giving it authority to exercise,
as emergency may arise, the powers OF
establishing and maintaining quarantine,
inspection of suspected dwellings, ves-
sells or public conveyances, and the estab-
lishment of such rules and regulations as
may be deemed advisable to combat con-
tagious disease. At present its functions
are advisory and in no sense executive.
1t has been found that the sum of $1,000
appropriated two years ago to carry on
the work of the bureau of vital statistics
has been inadequate to cover the neces-
sary expenses even with the most rigid,
almost niggardly, economy in expend!l-
ture, and if the work is to go on, provl-
sion must be made by the legislature for
the expense, which experience has de-
monstrated is inseparable from carrying
out the provision of the law.
The cholera question was discussed at
1....+1. o,,I +bo hoard raarfaata6 certain
plans in anticipation of possible danger
during the coming spring. Arrange
ments have been perfected and
there have been secured for
co-operation with the board the services
of a competent bacteriologist in govern
ment employ, so that the true nature
of doubtful or suspicious cases, it any
occur within our border, may be speedily
and accurately determined.
Whether the board will be able to make
any demonstration of its methods OF
work and their results at the Columbian
Exposition and the international SANTA
ry Congress was not decided. because OF
the Withholding of financial aid by the
Worlds Fair Commission. to which allu-
sion has already been made in the PRESS.
It was agreed that time will now hardly
permit Of preparation for anything more
than the most meagre showing, and 1T is
probable that nothing will be attempted
in the way of an exhibit.
Reports were received with reference
to the prevalence of typhoid fever at
Green's Landing, the alleged case of
cholera at Rangeley and the occurrence
of varioloid at Deering, all of which had
been managed in a manner satisfactory
to the board.

How Mrs. Maybrick Is Said To Have
Caused Those Hemorrhages.
LONDON, December 31.-The Exchange
Telegraph Company says Mrs. Maybrick
is recovering and declares that the hem
orrhages with which she was recently
attacked, and which caused the reports
that she was in dying condition, were
caused by herself. and not by the rava-
ges of consumption. According to
some of the newspapers the reported ILL
ness of Mrs. Maybrick was nothing less
than an attempt on her part to create
public sympathy for herself and to in
duce. Mr. Asquith, the home secretary,
to release her from confinement. The
st. James Gazette says Mrs. Maybrick's S
illness was caused by her swallowing a
number of needles. The needles pro-
duced an effusion of blood and other
symptoms of lung disease.

Mr.. BLAiNE's ILLNESS.

NIX. BIAlNE'S IEINESSs
His Friends Alarmed by Reports of an Ill
BosToN, January Ia despatch to the
Herald from Washington, received Sat
urday night, says:
s'Mr. Blaine was slightly worse today.
just how much worse it is impossible to
determine, for the reticence of the physi-
clans increases whenever Mr.. Blaine is not
so we'll They deny that he had another
sinking spell such as that two weeks ago
tomorrow, and insisted this evening that
he was better.
'.It seems probable that his relapse to-
day was not SO serious as that a fortnight
ago, and that he displayed more strength
in recovering from it, but he is SO i'll and
so weak that he cannot stand the least
setback, and therefore any change which
is not for the better is very much for the
worse.
''The general expectation that Mr..
Blaine will not recover prompted the be-
lief, when it was reported that he was
worse today, that he was near his end
'sThe physicians deny this, but they do
not attempt to predict that he will live
for any specific length of time. They
will only state his condition from day to
day, which they insist on the whole, has
been better.''

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Republican Managers Take a Long
Look Ahead.
THEY PROPOSE TO BE ON DECK IN
THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

| With That in View. 1t Is Reported That
a Meeting of the National Committee
| Will Soon Be Held-The Chairmanship
and the Question of Permanent Quar-
| ters To Be Considered-Several Cities
Would Like To Be the Committees
Home.
WASHINGTON, December 31-Chairman
Carter will call together the Republican
National Committee for special session
in New York early in January. Mr.. Car
ter has been somewhat opposed to taking
this action on account of the great ex-
pense and time involved, but he has been
persuaded that an early meeting will be
for the best interest of the party. 1t is
the intention of the Republican managers
to begin at once the campaign of 1896 in
an organized and systematic fashion.
The first question that will confront
the committee will be as to it's own or
ganization. There has been some dis
cussion, which was precipitated by Vice
Chairman NJ FL. De Young of California,
as to who really is the chairman of the
National Committee. MI. Campbell of
Illinois was regularly elected to that po-
sition but his resignation was accepted
by the executive committee, and Mr..
Carter was unanimously chosen to sue
ceed him. The executive committee was
empowered at the last meeting of the full
National Committee to take charge of
the campaign. That somewhat indefinite
commission makes it a matter of uncer-
tainty as to whether the executive COM
mittee had the power to select success
sor to Mr.. Campbell, and it is also aques-
ton whether the executive committee,
the campaign being over, is even now in
existence.
There will be no serious disagreement
over this question, and its discussion
will amicably end in the election OF
chairman, who may or may not be the
present chairman, Mr.. Carter. The po-
sition of chairman of the Republican
National Committee is usually nothing
but name during the four years which
elapse between presidential campaigns.
Now, however, it is expected that at the
coming meeting of the national commit
tee, the position of chairman will be
made one of important activity, not
merely after the next national conven-
ton, but during every month, and week,
and day of the period between now and
then. In fact. to bring this about will
be the main purpose for calling the ma
tional committee together at this time.
The campaign of 1896 will begin, if the
advice of ex-Chairman Quay and many
Others is followed, in 1893.
A proposition will be submitted to the
National Committee to establish perma-
nent headquarters either in New York OF
in Washington. Perhaps Chicago will
also be an aspirant for it, but the princi-
pal contest will be between Washington
and New York. This probably will
make the most spirited fight in the COM
mittee Many members of the com
1hitted do not wish to see headquarters
in New York, because they fear that its
management would fall under certain
local influences there which were recog-
nized as detrimental throughout the re-
cent campaign.

that the Pope will shortly take i'm
