WASHINGTON, March 13.-SenRtor Teller
has prepared resolutions which he will offer
in the senate Mt the next meeting. express-
ing the sense of the senate in favor of the
reconvening of the international none
tary conference at Brussels next summer.
Teller says he is satisfied there has been a
change of sentiment in Europe respecting
the monetary question since the con ference
adjourned. Is il plain to him that the
delegates from European countries began
the conference under an erronsous i'm
preston as to the policy of the United
States. Lately II has been made clear that
the purpose Of this country was not pri~
mariy to reap tho benefit of tho advanced
price of silver. and recent contributions to
literature on the subject. notably the arti-
Gle by Prof Andrews. have made it appear
that the value of the entire annual silver
product il absolutely insignificant as com
pared with the value of the products OF GER

"There will probably, during the coming
generation. be ample opportunity to judge
as TO what extent the immunity from dis
ease enjoyed by Savannah mas been the re-
suit Of her porous soil, wide, unpaved streets,
protuse forest growth and numerous squares.
For in the march of Improvement IL is in
contemplation to pave the streets, and paw
ing the streets has, 30 far, carried with IL
the total, unsparing, destruction Of the
shade trees.
Then, too, some OF the citizens loudly de-
nounce what they are pleased co call the
waste Of ground given up e. wide streets
and open squares, aud would willingly see
buildings located in the squares and some Of
the streets closed up and appropriated to
the same purpose; In fact, SO great has been
the pressure brought to bear that ths mu-
nicipal authorities, in laying out an extern
zion Of the city. felt forced TO abandon the
old plan, which has proved so good, and
have adopted a more compact design.
whether or not this is best the irrefuta-
BILE logic Of evonts must determine; the
facts OF the future will be the basis OF the
verdict but, unfortunately, should it be
on the wrong side, there will then be no
steps taken or undo the injury inflicted.

conSestive malaria. The upturning of soil dur
ing the summer, with very heavy rains, think
was the cause. There were no active steps
taken in the matter. Fortunately very shortly
after we had cold weather, which prevented l
think, a great many cases.
The Smelling of streets is not detrimental to
the public health. / think the danger is in pre-
pairing and grading of the streets, which neces-
sarly requires an immense area OF new soil ex-
posed, which gives off sufficient malaria 20 en-

During May and June of this year we had
several severe cases of malarial fever of a re-
mitteut form, and in some instances the bowels
would become involved, resembling typhoid
fever
All during the winter, spring and far into the
summer the city authorities continued to up
turn the soil, directly against an ordinance that
they themselves had made, and against the
earnest recommendation OF the board OF health
and my written opinion against it,
Finally, with the assistance of the board OF
health, succeeded in having a writ, or an in
junction, restraining them from further up
turning of the soil until the time set apart in
the ordinance allowed them so to do.
Almost Immediately after this ceased the
forms Of fever became milder and fewer, yield
ing more readily to treatment.
In my opinion, the upturning of soil IN any
southern city, especially during the spring and
summer, is one of the most potent causes OF so
much malarial fevers.
