that it will pass. This opinion is general

although there probably will be some

it more acceptable to the Democrats who

ton, but Mr.. Bland was at last vic
torious. On the final vote, 1G Republi-
cans and all the Populists voted with

thoroughly understood that quite num-
Der of Democrats who voted with Mr..
Bland this afternoon were in favor of
certain notifications of the bill although
they would not carry their opposition to
the extent of voting against its consid-
Grafton. 1t is also well known that See
retary Carlisle and the administration
generally is opposed to the bill in its
presentform. After the consideration of
the bill began, Mr.. Carlisle arrived at the
capitol and had conference with. sew
eral of the leading Democrats of the
house, as well as those Democrats who
were managing the filibuster, and just
before adjournment, the announcement
was officially made on the floor by Mr..
Tracey that no further attempt to fill

About the very drastic methods of

the law gives them all the powers they
have exercised. Health Commissioner
Emery said to the writer:
r Smallpox was epidemic in Brooklyn,
but we have nearly stamped it out We
have made forty thousand vaccinations.
The epidemic began in January. In
March we adopted stringent measures,
taking on force of one hundred and
twenty vaccinators- Specially infected
or dangerous districts were raided by
the vaccinators, assisted by the police
In some Of the raids we used as many
as seventy vaccinators and one hun
dred and fifty policemen. These raids
were made at night in order to catch
the men at home. The districts in
question were surrounded and every
one in them was vaccinated. These
raids were made in the Twelfth,
