More Possible Dangers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
We notice in your issue of the 21st in
slant an article from the health office in
reference to the use Of laundry boxes, and
that those who are considering the matter
think it unsafe.
We would respectfully call the attention
OF these parties to the cramped, dirty
quarters and filthy methods of most OF the
Chinese laundrles in operation in this city.
Also to the cases of those colored washer
women who live in shanties in disease
stricken localities and who call for. the
family wash ON Monday morning and re-
turn the same on Saturday night, having
worn the wearing apparel and used the bed
linen until the end of the week.
Why does not the health office look after
them instead of jumping on laundry box
as a transmitter of disease?

The Hold syynrmed With Insects.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.-The Brit
ish ship Miliwall, Capt. Bromner, arrived
in port short time ago from Rangoon,
Burmah, with a cargo supposed to be COM
posed exclusively of rice When the hatch
es were removed, however, a vast swarm
of insects flew out, and on examination the
hold was found to be literally alive with
Them So much so, In fact, that it was an
i,npossibility for the sailors to descend for
fear of suffocation. Prof Davidson of the
United States geodetic and coast survey
has obtained specimens OF the insects and
recognizes among them two species of the
common American weavel But there are
several others unknown to him, ard which
he has sent to the university at Berkeley
for classification. They may turn out to
be q great pest.

Health, of the CITY.

During the week ended on Saturday the
health department reports show an almost
total absence of dangerous contagious dis
eases in the city. There was no death from
smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever nor
whooping cough, and but one fatal case of
typhoid fever. The annual death rate was
four below the normal and $40 below the
same period in the last published report.
The fact of there having been no death
from smallpox indicates that the patients
now under treatment suffer from a mild
form of that disease. One-third of all who
died were over fifty years old, while infant
mortality was less than usual The ma
jority of the fatal cases during the week
were of chronic or constitutional charac-
ter, Of which fifteen alone were from heart
disease The general results of the NOR
tally would seem to warrant the conclu-
sion that even very cold winter weather,
if dry, is conducive to good health.

A story From the West.

Breckenridge, Mo-, dispatch relates the
following wonderful effects of storm there

During the heavy rain and haistorm
which prevailed here Sunday night, two
story farm house, three miles east of town,
was blown about ninety feet from it's foun-
dation The building, having made two
complete revolutions. landed on it's side in
tact The family, consisting of Mont. Mat
tux, his wife and three children, were in
bed at the time of the accident, and all
escaped injury except Mrs. Mattux, WHOSE
arm was diSlccated.
Every article of furniture in the house
was demolished, and the walls were en-
tirely stripped of plastering. Had Mr.. Mat
tux also been injured the family would
have been cremated, as the room caught
fire, but was eXtinguished by him.

CHILEAN CLAIMS.
Not Much Prospect OF Obtninlns IL
New Commission.


When the Chilean claims commission ex-
pircd by limitation in April last, several
important claims of citizens of the United
States which had been submitted to the
commission were sliI pending. Negotia-
tons have since been in progress between
the governments of the United States and
Chile, with view to the creation OF a new
joint commission for the final adjudication
Of these claims The negotiations appeared
&c lie progressing favorabiy toward the end
III view, when a dispute arose over the
questions as TO the selection of the third
or neutral member OF the commission and
TIE place of meeting. This government
argued in favor OF having the commission
meet in this city, on the ground that there
would then be less trouble in securing the
services OF diplomatic representative OF
q disi1terested government the third
member of the commission than might be
the case if Santiago, Chile, were selected
as the place of meeting, according to the
desire of the Chilean government. the
representative of that government is in
clned to stand on that point. lie has repre-
sen ted TO the State Department that mas
much as one commission has already sat
in Washington, ID. e., 1t is only just ana
proper that, if another is to be organized, it
should sit in the Chilean capital The Sec
rotary OF State is not disposed to yield TO
the wishes OF The Chilean government On
this point. 1t is asserted that Secretary
Gresham is mainly responsible for the de-
lays in the organization of the commlsSion
which prevented the adjudication Oh the
claims in question, within the period fixed
for it's existence. Inasmuch as the Chilean
government has already met all its treaty
obliga lions in the settlement OF United
States claims, it is said to be extremely
improbable that that government will col-
sent to reopen any of the old cases except
upon the most favorable conditions, es-
pecally in view of the allegation that the
United States, and not Chile, is responsible
for the failure of the late commission to
complete it's work. The prospects of
treaty for a new commission to consider
old claims are believed to be rather small

Delegate to Sassoun.
VIENNA, January 23.-A dispatch re-
oeived here from Constantinople says that
Mgr. Izmirlian, the new Armenian patri-
arch, has written to the minister of justice,
Ria Pasha, saying that upon taking pos
Sc ssion Of the patriarchate he found q great
accumulation of important reports On the
Armenian situation, adding:
while reserving the right of protesting
against the state of things under which
the Armenians suffer, my soicitude in the
first instance is directed toward the ter
rible AFT air at Sassoun, which has aroused
it,"
The patriarch then described the emotion
of the Armenian nation in view of the fact
that the bishop of MoSh has been in prison
for three years, as well other bishops,
and added:
Under such circumstances, the dispatch
of other clericS to the affected provinces is
out Of the question, and L feel bound in
order to clear up the Sassoun affair, to send
a special delegate to Sassoun.'
