THE NURSE STRICKEN.
Two New Cases of Smallpox Develop
Today.

Two new cases of the smallpox were de-
veloped today. One was that of Mary Wash
ington. colored domestic, living at 800
r street northwest. The other was Mrs
Margaret Peinberton. the first volunteer
nurse at the hospital. .s.,
The history of the first case was OBJ
scure: the only thing that can be learned
is that she lived in the house next door to
Mr.. Anderson, when he was taken with
the disease. OF course the other case
needs no investigation. Mrs. Pemberton
has not only been the nurse at the hospital
but also the cook. She was taken i'll sew

POOR PORTO RICO.
Depressed Condition of Affairs Due to
Deprecated Silver Money.

In report to the State Department upon
the present business depression and unset
tied conditions in Porto Rico, United States
Consul Hall at San Juan ascribes the cause
partly to the abrogation OF the reciprocity
agreement with the United States but more
largely to the demoralzed condition of the
island and the uncertainty as to what Spain
will do with the Mexican silver now current
there. The agitation of the question has
produced great uncertainty and stopped i'm
portations. The planters would prefer Mex
lean silver, with restrictions on Importation
removed, as a 5O-cent dollar governed by the
markets of the world, while bad in itself, is
at least preferable to an unknown and worse
currency like the paper issue inflicted upon
Cuba some years ago.

SENATOR COCKRELL.

He Thinks the Defeat OF the Demo-
Gratis hut Temporary.
Senator Cockrell of Missouri is in Wash
ington. He has little to say about the cleo
ton, but bears the exterior of great, good
humor, in spite of the disaster which has
overtaken the democracy in his state in
common with many others.
The result, he says, is due to general
apathy, and that he regards the defeat as
but temporary. He declined to discuss
the bond Issue or the silver question.

Washington special: The abroCa-

beginning OF suits against this Gov
eminent for the total amount OF the
duties collected ON Brazilian goods
covered by the reciprocity treaty.
from August - last, the date new tar

these duties may reach into the mill

The claim will involve Il test OF the
right of Congress to pass a aw when

w~ithstanding this provision. the new
tariff law %abrogates all RECIPROCITY

Efforts we're made to have Il provi

allow three months notice to Brazil
in accordance with the treaty, but the
tariff bill became SO involved in the
conference that no changes could be
made. AS the three months notice

LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED.
Custom Receipts for the Month of
October.

Washington special: The receipts OF
the Treasury Department continue to
range much below what was expected
under the new tariff law. and at the
present rate will not exceed $2O,0L0,-
600 during the whole of October. The
total from customs for the first ten
days Of the month is only $3,94S..1l, or
ut the rate OF about SD. 000, coo for the
entire month. The total receipts thus
far in October, including those from
miscellaneous sources, have been ST.
2jS,2 32, while expenditures have reach
ed $1.'04,00o. The sum of 81, 910.OC0
has been paid for pensions. but drafts
'or ordinary expenses on the other
band were exceedingly light during
the opening days OF the month. The
monthly expenditures will probably
'un close to S:0.0C0, 600 without allow
inc for the interest payments, which
have already reached 81. 800. S9S.
the general Treasury balance was
$2lS. 1S4, IA, but the deduction of the
interest payments would reduce this
to about STA. 30, 600. 1t will require
some improvement in the average
daily receipts or great economy in eX-
pcnditures to prevent a loss Of eight
or nine millions during the month and
Il reduction of the general Treasury
balance to $1,000 GOA. The gold re-
serve stood at $50, $40, 1'3. The re-
ceipts in gold and gold certificates at
