The Paragraph telegraphed some days
ago quoting Senator Mcpherson as saying
that Deputy Sheriff Vanderbilt would be
appointed, was based on the Senator's
statement. but it may be. after all. that
his recommendation is not to be final.
A delegation from Princeton was over
here yesterday. 1t was headed by ex-
State Senator Vanderbilt, and included
ex-Stste Senator Charles B. Moore and
MI. A. s. Leigh. In company with Sc l.
ator Mcpherson they called in the morn
ing upon the Postmaster General and
had a lengthy conferences with that
official. Senator McPher son WIS
Of Mr.. Vanderbilt. recommending
him very highly aud calling Mr.. Bisselrs
attention to the fact that Mr.. Vanderbilt
had the hacking OF the county committees.
OF the citizens. merchants and Demo
cratic voters OF the city aud township,
and that there was no other Democratic
candidate IN the field. "If you care to re-
spect my wishes In the matter" said
Senator Mcpherson, "the appointment
will go co Mr.. Vanderbilt" &
The other members OF the party were
equally emphatic. especially in asserting
that MIR. Hndnutt. VINO has the endorse
ment of some of the college professors. is
not identified with the Democratic party.
NH. BISsELL'S ANSWER.
In answer to the stateGents presented
by the delegation. Mr.. Bissell said tina il

cepsable to the college faculty sud
students. The Postmaster-Genera al
united that he. TOO, personally,
sndorsed these sentimenis and nddad
that the Endorsement of the college was
with Mr.. Hudnutt. In the course of his
remarks he referred To a visit paid him
yesterday by a gentlemen who came
with the protest of the college against
Mr.. Vanderbilt's appointment.
Although Mr.. Bissell did not reveal any
names. IL was learnei afterwards that his
caller was Mr.. Harry E. Davis. a Wash
iDgton lawyer and Il graduate of the COL
lege, who had been asked In q telegram
from one OF the professors to take this
action. This. of course, injscts a new
factor into the fight. but Senator Wander
biit went In the afternoon and had a talk
with Mr.. Davis about the mstter.
The delegation left the Post Office Depar-
ment with the feeling that Mr.. Bissell and
the President Intended TO follow their In
dependent will despite the rec ommenda-

NEW JERSEY BILLS INTRODUCED.
Among the 400 bills which nave been

TO KEEP . CHOLERA.
The fact that a New Jersey member,
Mr.. G~eissenhainer. is chairman Of the
Immigration Committee, In couju notion
with the recent cholsrA scare In your
city, gives to the Pan-American Medical
Congress now in session In this city a
local interest for the State. Quite a num-
Der OF New Jersey physicians are here.
AS a matter of fact, the Congress is the
most important gathering Of It's Kiud
ever assembled here. Thu geographical
relations OF the American continents is
such that tha appearance OF an epidemic
anywhere within the territory which
they EN- brace Is a threat to every section.
Consequently. the physicians hers as
sembled have taken up with more than
usual earnastness the question of how to
prevent the spread of epidemic diseases
In North a South America. While
many other topics rave been discussed,
this 10 the n great underlying subject,
and to it. consideration the best thought
Of the Congress has been address. ed.
DIR. Pepper. of Philadelphia, tue presi-
dsnt of the conference, WAS at the capt. oil

the rules and regulations which are In
force In the South American STATES.
aud we shall be enabled to come to q
pan-A.merican agreement as TO the
best methods Of keeping the two conti-
menus free from contagious diseases.
Already the discussions Of the Congress
have established the fact that the South
American countries will cooperate with
US in regulations for the health Of all,
and / hope that the day IL not far distant
when the shores Of Nerth and South
America will present al unbroken Gordon

contagious diseases from Europe

such Importance as to demand their
