station at Orono as now. But they want
the manufacturers to pay the bills by the
establishment of fees for such services.
As it is now, the cost of such inspection
comes largely out of the State College
fund. The. bill may also create an office,
that of a commissioner to superintend
the work. The State Board of Agricul-
ture is backing the measure.

The HealtI, Bill.

The bill to give the State Board of
Health certain executive powers has been
drafted and, after some revision, will
make it's appearance. In view of the
danger from cholera to which the coun-
try may be subjected next year, it is be-
lieved by the board that there is urgent
necessity at this time for the enactment
of legislation which will give them OPP
portunity to take proper precautions to
guard against the entrance of the dis
ease at points not reached by the local
boards. For instance, it is pointed out
that in the great Maine wildern ess, in
the northern parts of the state, there are
roads which, although traversing Sec
tions where habitations are far apart,
are still avenues of communication be-
tween Maine and the Provinces. In case
of visitation of cholera, the board
might deem it necessary to have such
roads watched to prevent the arrival of
persons with the murderous microbes
hidden among their effects. AS it is
now, the board has only advisory power.
The bill will also include provisions to
enable the state board to interfere if a
local board should neglect to perform it's
duties.
It has been said that the state board
has only advisory power now. That is
true, but there have been cases in which
it has exercised an executive power
which it did not possess. A case in
point was that of the action of DR.. A. G.
Young, the secretary of the board. as
long ago as 1885. 1t was in that year
that the small pox prevailed extensively
in Canada. There were then no local
boards of health in Maine, the act estab-
fishing them not being passed until 1887.
During the small pox epidemic in Cana
da, DR.. Young was in Bangor one day
when he heard that car load of immi-
grants was due in that city en- route to
the West. DR.. Young telephoned to the
police station and the Bangor authorities
sent an officer to meet him at the depot
and obey his instructions. DIR. Young
and the officer reached the railway sta
ton at just about the time the train
with the immigrants arrived. The offic-
er stood guard over the second-class
car which contained the immigrants,
while the doctor examined them. None
of them had small pox. but they were
all vaccinated then and there and al
lowed to go on their way. The proceed
ing was without authority of law, but
the immigrants did not know and made
no objection to being vaccinated. The
board of health, however, does not care
to do its business in that way and it is
to guar, against the necessity of such
method in the future as well as to enable
it to aid in enforcing the law as above
stated that it now desires the legislation
mentioned.

The Crowd at the Exposition Not
Nearly SO Great as Was
Anticipated.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The attendance at
the Worlds Fair to-day was so light as to
raise doubts if open Sundays are to prove
the financial boom to the exposition that
was expected. While the exposition Off
cials express satisfaction, it is no secret
that the concessionaires are greatly
disappointed, as they. of course. are the
first to feel the results OF light attendance.
Nearly all the catering and restaurant es-
adjustments are cutting down their forces
and other enterprises are doing likewise
until the attendance will become such as
to justify previous expectations.
Regular Sunday services were the only
special attraction to-day. The first of the
Michigan Central industrial excursions
with employees of the Michigan Central
aboard entered the grounds to-day.

DEPRECATED SILVER.
The Loss the English Government
Will Sustain

CITY OF MEXICO, July 9.-Lionel Car
den. British Consul General to Mexico.
has furnished his Government with statis-
tics relative to the effect the depreciation
Of silver is likely to have on Mexico, so
far as payment of interest on the national
debt is concerned.
He says the drop in exchange below Sd
may be estimated to be the loss which the
depreciation of silver entails on the Gov
ernment. If silver drops TO sd the loss
will amount to S1,2O6,613. If it drops to
SOD the loss will amount to s.. .804, ,S65.
1t will thus be seen that the loss occa-
stoned by any probable depreciating of
silver is comparatively very small, so Tar
as the Mexican debt is concerned. In ad-
dtion to the loss mentioned, however.
there will be the loss on customs revenue
in consequence of the contraction of the
purchasing capacity of the Mexican silver
dollar, so far as foreign goods are con-
cerned.
This it is difficult to estimate. for the
reason that Mexico's purchasing power is
steadily increasing. Abundant crops and
extra prices obtained for tropical produce
exported will compensate in great measure
for this falling off.

The Prince Visited by Ex=
CursiOnists.
STATES RIGHTS SENTIMENTS
His Fear Is That the National Idea
May Be StifIed by Bur-
eaucraCy.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

BERLIN, July 9.-About four hundred
excursiunists from the principally of
Lippe- DetmOld visited Prince Bismarck in
Friedrichsruhe to-day. Both the Prince
and Princess responded by appearing on
the balcony of the castle.
Prince Bismarck made notable speech
concerning the relations of the smaller
Federal States to the empire and con-
cluded with these remarkable words:
''Therelare seventeen Federal States hav-
ing only single vote each in the Federal
council. The council may be divided in
three categories-small states with vote
each. Prussia with eighteen votes. and the
middle states with twenty-four votes.
Thus you see what weight the small states
have. All am saying to you is german
10 the fact that the national idea has not
caught fire in the parliaments and govern
ments of the federated states. as twenty
or twenty-five years ago l hoped it would.
"My fear and anxiety for the future is
that the national idea may be stifled in
the coils of the boa constructor Of bureau
cracy, ewhich has grown rapidly in the
last few years. Only the Federal Council
and the Reichstag can help here. and the
former has the right to assert itself. 1t
would be possible then for the govern
ments of the smaller States to express
opinions, to which no official attention is
paid. sum up all these reflections thus ::
"God preserve for us the constitution OF
the empire as it is, and the present num-
Der of Federal Governments which form
the Federal Council. that the latter may at
all times stand by the side of the Reichstag
as the legislative coefficent of absolutely
equal rank with absolutely equal rights. 1"
The strong States rights sentiments ex-
pressed in the speech aroused as much sur
prise as enthusiasm.

Phelan arrived to-day from New York

day, which was so dreaded on accoun; of
the fresh fruit, has been providently
checked by thunder showers. The weather
to-day was cool, and although il was not
heavy day at the fair, the attendance in
the California building was as large as is
usual Oh Sunday.

tent was called to order, large number
were present TO hear Anthony CONS took

Society, Church and State" IL was we'll
received. During its delivery large crowd
of French Canadians gathered and leered
at the speaker. They became noisy and
had to be dispersed by the police. and one
of the leaders was taken into custody.
This summary action induced them to
scatter, after singing Ahe M .srsellaise'' as
a sort of rejoindsf TO "Sland Up for
Jesus" which was sung at the close Of
Comstock's address.
Miss Belle Kearney of Florida followed,
and at times 1t was hard for the audience
to follow her. owing to the yells of the
crowd outside.
An address by Rev. Charles Perry Mills
of Massachusetts brought the tent-meeting
to close.
Before adjournment Treasurer Shaw
made an off ;ial announcement that the
nun ber of delegates attending the conyen-
ton was $1,000. He also assured timd
delegates that no violence need be feared,
as ample police protection had been asked
for and promised. However, it was not
deemed advisable to hold evening service
in the tent.

The con secration sermon was preached
by Rev. D. Fay Mills. Drill Hall was
divided off into States at the closing meet

port of the resolutions committee.
Rev. #. Fl. Lewis of Westminster. Md,
preached the closing sermon. COnsecra-
