GOOD Local showing during the FoSt

According to the weekly report Of the
health officer the health conditions
Of the city continue on the line
Of improvement. The large decrease
in the death rate week before last
was followed by a still further decline.
There were eighty-seven deaths as against
ninety as shown by the previous report.
During the same period Of time year ago
129 deaths occurred. with a death rate of
25.S for each thousand of population. The
rate for last week was 1873, equal to diff
ference Of ten per thousand and which rep
resents a saving Of over twenty-eight hun
dred lives per annum No death from either
typhoid fever or influenza was reported.
The latter malady may be said to have so
far disappeared as to no longer be a source
Of apprehension Diphtheria Is also the
wane, there having been but six new cases
reported. with two deaths therefrom, through
out the whole District Diseases of the
kidneys continue to form a considerable
percentage Of the fatalities. 1t would be
a matter Of valuable scientific interest were
the apparent relations between this class
of ailments and the influenza Investigated
with a view to discover II the latent causes
Of many Of the cases had not a common
origin. Sporadic cases Of whooping cough
and scarlatina still occur. but as is the
case with all the zymotic diseases, show
ing a declining tendency.
Nearly one-fourth OF all the deaths oc-
CURED in hospitals, with infant mortality
at the normal 1t is safe to say that with
a death rate so remarkably low as 1873 for
the total population the general health of
the city Of Washington is very good in

STRIKING HIGH.
Proposition to Investigate a Labor
Decision Of Justice Brewers,

Proposition to Investigate a Labor
Decision OF Justice Brewers.
Following the effort to investigate the
action Of Judge Jenkins in his decision
against labor in the case Of the Northern
Pacific railroad comes a proposition by
Representative Somers to investigate la.
Dor decisions of other judges. including one
member Of the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
The title Of the resolution to investigate
the action of Justice Brewer is ITO investi-
gate the circumstances attending the de-
cision in the case Of the United States
against Kane in the United States circuit
court for the district of Colorado" The
resolution specifies that a report shall be
made to the House, whether in any of
said matters or things the Hon. David J..
Brewer, judge of said court. exceeded his
Jurisdiction. abused the powers or process
of said court, or oppressively exercised the
same or used his office as Judge to intimi-
date or wrongfully restrain the employees
of any railroad or the officers Of labor or
CARNATIONS"
The other investigations. requested are Of
the action Of Judge William H. Taft Of the
circuit court of the northern district of
Ohio in issuing injunctions in the case of
the Toledo. Ann Arbor and North Michigan
railroad against the Pennsylvania COM
pany; Of the action Of Judge Elmer S.
Dundy of the district OF Nebraska in the
case Of Oliver Ames and others against the
Union Pacific railroad on January 81, 1894
the action of Judge James H. Beatty in the
case of the Occur d'Alene Mining Company
against the Miners Union of Wariner,
Idaho, July II. 1892 the action Of Judge D.
A. Pardee Of the circuit court Of the north
ern district of Texas in April. 1886, in the
matter of Higgins ct al, and Of Judge
Augustus Kicks Of Ohio in the Ann Arbor
case. These cases all involve the rights of
laboring men to strike and the decisions
which are called in question extend over a
term Of years.
Representative Somers said concerning
the resolution: II represent the district in
which Judge Jenkins lives. The judiciary
committee Is awaiting an opportunity to
present a favorable report on the resolution
to Investigate the action Of Judge Jenkins
in enjoining railroad employees. My resolu-
ton seeks to broaden that Investigation 20
that 1t will show what other judges have
decided. I have had no consultation with
Judge Jenkins, but 1t has seemed unfair
that he should be singled out for a congress
sional Investigate ton when other judges have
made similar decisions. The investiga-
ton may disclose that the decisions have
gone too far. IN which case 1t may be neces-
sary to modify the law. The resolutions
will relieve the investigation of all political
significance as Mr.. Jenkins is a democrat
and the judges named in my resolutions are
republicans. I hope to have the judiciary
committee and the House consolidate all
the Investigations"

What Senator Chandler Says.

Senator Chandler said to a Star reporter
this afternoon that he could not say any,
thing about Mr.. Kolb personally or of his
movements Of late. But" he added, II
can say this. that the republicans of the
Senate. or rather number of the party
leaders here. think that they see In the
kolb movement in Alabama a tendency to-
ward a free ballot and fair count. honest
elections and protective tariff for the
SOUTH and they are glad to give to the
KOlb party in Alabama and to similar
parties in the south the encouragement Of
approval. l can say no more than this
now. From what has been represented to
US during the past two weeks there Is
everything to make 1t plain that we should
give these people our confidence. There
has been no party action 1 may say, and
none will probably be taken"

this morning. Salyards was taken violently
i'll this morning, and when the jail ply
sician was called he found that the con-

heads and vinegar. In cup which he had
concealed in his room Salyards had still
another preparation which he. intended to
use in case the match-heads and vinegar
failed to kill.
Upon examination 1t was found to be
glass and rust from iron bars which he had
pounded together almost as fine as flour.
The death watch which had been placed
upon the prisoner has heretofore been on

at self-destruction this morning the watch
has taken up his position on the inside Of

There is little hope Of saving Salyards'

PhOto-Mechnnfcal Relief Enxrayfu


Mr.. Koehler's lecture at the National
Museum last evening began with a very
interesting discussion of the half tone pro-
cess Of photography. This method Of pho
tographing. which is used TO obtain repro
auctions Of drawings or previously taken
from nature or from life, can
only be done by breaking up the structure
less rays Of the picture or drawing which
1t Is desired to reproduce and substituting
prin BILE rays therefor. The manner In
which this Is accomplished, by taking a
negative through a screen. was explained
at considerable length. and the defects Of
the method whereby we are unable to pro-
duce white and the values of other colors
are greatly changed were pointed out, to-
gether with an explanation of the way to
remedy such defects by retouching.
While this process faithfully reproduces
the original there Is no trace of art in it.
and the prints taken thereby lack express
sion and are consequently moderated by
artists. They have the advantage of cheap
ness, however, and are seen nearly every
where now.
The photo-intaglio process was next taken
DIP, and the method of making carbon pho
tographs described. The plate for printing
by this process is prepared by covering 1t
with film of carbon and gelatine and ex-
posing 1t under negative and washing
away the portions of the film that are I'M
acted upon, after which 1t is etched In the
ordinary manner. the only precaution that
is necessary to be taken being that nom
vaporous mordant must be used. The press
used is a simple copper plate press.
The next lecture. to be delivered on Fri
day evening. will have for its subjects the
