tionary Power to Deal with the Pest.

to-day Of Mayor Hopkins, Health Com
missioner Reynolds and Chairman
| Madden, of the council finance COM
| mittee, the commissioner was given
almost unlimited power to incur ex.
pense for the purpose of exterminating
the smallpox scourge. He will at once
begin systematic crusade in every
part of the city, dividing it into dis
tricts, with health officers in charge.
They will have authority to employ
as many physicians as the work
requires for the purpose of quar-
antining houses, removing patients,
vaccinating indiscriminately and sup
plying persons quarantined with
food and medicine. The subordinate
physicians will report to headquarters

city will be made, the police being re-
lieved of that duty. The west side,

sides the one just completed, will be
built at once to accommodate 100 pa
tients. Tents will be used in case of
emergency, and dozen ambulances
will be put into service. There will
be no longer any delay in the burial of
victims and the removal of patients to
the pesthouse on account of inadequate
facilities. The health commissioner
says no cases have developed in houses
which have been fumigated, and he is
at loss to account for the origin Of
the new cases.

which were closed last week on ac-
count of the disease, were reopened
yesterday. There were three more

COxEYITES WARNED,

Proclamation Issued at the Suggestion
of the President Warning Organized
Bodies of Men Now On Their Way to
the National Capital, That Their Is No
Room for Them, and That, in Word
They Are Not Wanted.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-At the sug-
gestion of President Cleveland, the
commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia have issued a proclamation con-
cerning the approach to the city Of
several organized bodies of men for the
purpose of securing congressional ac-
tion for the relief of the unemployed
laborers throughout the country. The
commissioners declare that no good
can come of such a gathering and that
with no proper preparation or means
OF subsistence, ultimate disorder
will certainly ensue. While the
commissioners are in entire sympathy
with all people out of employment,
they are in duty bound to give notice
to those who, tempted under any pre-
text to swell the number of unem.
ployed persons already here, that there
is neither work for them nor means for
their maintenance in the district; that
the law does not permit the soliciting
of aims in our streets, and forbids pa
rades, assemblages or orations in the
capitol grounds, and the obstruction
of any public grounds, streets, high.
ways or avenues, and the approaches
of public or private buildings.
The commissioners give notice also
to criminals and evil-doers who, under
cover of a crowd of unemployed men in
our streets, may come here for the pnr-
pose of crime and disorder, that all
such will be apprehended and sum
marily dealt with.
And finally they give notice to all
who come here against their advice
and protest, that the laws in force IN
the District Of Columbia are adequate
for every emergency, and will be rig
idly enforced.
