ONE NEW CASE SURE
Patrick Sullivan Sent to the Pest House
With Smallpox.
The Health .OMcer is Also This After
noon Examining the Gases
of Thu ee Suspects.

There was one patient sent to the small
pox hospital this morning, and at noon
the doctors had several suspected cases on
hand One of them is in Marion court, a
nine-year-old boy. There was smallpox
patient taken from this court more than
two weeks ago. The patient taken to the
hospital today is Patrick Sullivan, a young
man who lives at No. 80 New York avenue
northwest. 1t Is almost certain that he
got his case of varioloid from Joseph Bran
non, the colored man who created the
scare in the second police station about
three weeks ago and who, wandered about
the streets in the snow storm some time
before he managed to reach the hospital
He died sfter reaching the hospital.
AS printed in The Star at the time Bran
non made several Intellectual attempts to
get treatment, and was sick several days
before he fell on the street from eXhaus-
ton. and had to be removed In the am
bulance.
While Brannon- was sick, and when the
postules had about appeared on his face
he went in the saloon at 1st and Pierce
streets, where Sullivan is employed as bar
tender, and called for a drink Sullivan
saw at glance that there was something
the matter With the man, and promptly or
dered him out OF the saloon, and he de-
parted without his drink. This little cpl
Sode frightened Sullivan and he went off
and got vaccinated; but this did not save
him entirely. But the physicians think it
mad the effect of reducing the disease to
varioloid.
fascinating Police.
Maj Moore has taken action in the small
pox matter by issuing the following order:
Zach and every member of this depart
ment will report at his station house On
such days and between such hours as may
be designated by the surgeons of the Dis
trict, VINO will determine whether or not
vaccination is necessary in each individual
case. Each surgeon will furnish these
headquarters with a list of those vacci-
mated, those not needing vaccination, and
any who may refuse the operation, and in
due time will report the result to the major
and superintendent"
This order was issued after the matter
had been fully considered. In the line of
duty the police have to visit alleys and
places where smallpox cases are likely to
occur, and 1t is for their own protection
as much as anything. else that they are
required to get vaccinated.
The employees of the health department
We're vaccinated several weeks ago.
More Suspects.
At o'clock this afternoon Dr. Walls,
the smallpox inspector. was notified from
the health Office of four suspected cases,
ard he started out 20 investigate them.
Included in this number is the suspected
case in Marion court.

LabRrers' Pay.

LabRrers' Pay.
Representative Hunter today introduced
a bill in the House providing that the pay
of laborers at the government printing Of
flee shall be 30 cents an hour.
To increase the Navy Yard.
The House committee on naval affairs
today favorably reported the bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the purchase Of square
S53, lying adjacent to the navy yard. The
report accompanying the bill says that the
purchase of this square and the setting
aside of strip of public land adjoining it
will add nearly four acres to the area Of
the yard. o.,
In explanation of the advantage of ex-
tending the yard. attention is called to the
necessity of increased facilities for the
storage Of guns and the output of the
shops. It is said that a great deal of val
liable manufacturing material is in danger
of destruction by fire and it is desired to
erect substantial buildings in the west
end Of the yard for storage purposes. 1t
is also explained that it may be desirable
to store torpedo boats. in which case the
additional space would be necessary The
ground which it is desired to purchase is
assessed at s cents foot.
Senator Gallinger Thanked.
Senator Gallinger returned to the city
last evening from Chicago, where he went
as a member CT the Post funeral party.
He found awaiting him on his desk letter
from Public Printer Benedict, thanking
Kim in the name of the employees Of the
printing office for the interview in The Star
Of Monday last, in which the Senator for
chilly argued in favor Of the immediate
erection CT a lew printing office building.
The public printer in his note said that
the arguments Of Senator Gallinger seemed
to be strong enough to convince the entire
Congress of the urgent need of legisa ton
on this subject The Senator says that he
does not believe that the bill choosing the
Malone site for the printing building,
which was yesterday agreed to by the
House committee public buildings and
grounds. will pass tha House.
He said that if it should come to the SEN
ate it would have to be reported to the
on public buildings and. grounds
there, or to the printing committee, and he
did not believe that a favorable report
could be secured from either of these. If,
however, he added the bill should come to
a vote in the Senate the opponents of the
Malone site would probably content them
selves with voting against this selection,
and would not defeat the entire proposition
by obstructive tactics.

GREAT PETITION HERE
The Plea From England for International
Arbitration.
To BE Presented to the President and
Then to Congress "A Mes.
seDger of Peace.

Mr.. William Randall Dreamer, a member
of the British parliament from one of the
London districts. and chevalier of the
LIE gion of Honor, has Travelled all the way
to Washington for the express purpose
Of presenting to the President a memorial
signed by 3!5 members of parliament, pro-
posing that all differences between Great
Britain and the United States be settled
by arbitration. Mr.. Dreamer is the edi-
tor OF London paper called the Agitator,
and is one of the active leaders Of the
liberal party. He has had seat in the
house of commons for eleven years. He
arrived in Washington last evening, and

After he had presented the memorial to the
President, he said. he proposed to furnish
copies of 1t to members of both houses of

tion of his mission, namely, the conclusion
OF negotiations between the two great
nations for the settle

the arts of diplomacy by the peaceful
means OF arbitration. Mr.. Dreamer said it

the direction of International arbitration
would meet with prompt and hearty re-

strongly Endorsed the resolution introduced
In the Senate by Mr.. Allison last session
for arbitration between the two
countries. and regretted that the chances
or It's adoption at the present session were
nampered by the short time it had to run.
The contamination of the present plan
Of arbitration" said he, would be a great
victory for peace and civilization. 1t would
be the first link in the chain of universal
arbitration. and the grand example thus
set by the United States and Great Britain
would sooner or later be followed by other
countries"

His Counsel Will Seek Relief From
the United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. c. s. barrow Of Chicago, counsel for
President Debs of the American Railway
Union, had a conference this morning with
Justice Harlan of the United States Su-
preme Court, at which was briefly and in
formally discussed the question of bringing
the Debs case before the Supreme Court
of the United States.
1t is understood that Mr.. barrow next
Monday at 10 o'clock will make applica-
ton to Justice Harlan. as justice of the
seventh United States circuit, for a writ
of error from that court direct to the
United States Supreme Court at the same
time offering bail and asking for a sus
pension and stay of execution pending
the writ of error.
1t is not certain, however, but that Mr..
barrow may decide to ask the court for a
writ Of habeas corpus. In any event, 1t is
altogether probable that the case will come
before the Supreme Court in form to ad-
NIT of early determination Of the ques-
lions involved.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Advices from
Europe report that the market was ad-
versely affected by reports from America
that the reason for the falling off in the
movement was due to the recent bad
weather, which prevented the ready mar
keting of the crop. AS a result of these
disappointing advices the market today
was the dullest for many years, and closed
without change The feeling of the trade
continues quite bearish for reasons pre-
vicusly mentioned, namely, the lack of
speculation and the large crop. The total
movement for the week is now estimated
at 170000 bales.
