PICTURES RY TELEGRAPH.
Successful Experiments Just Made in
California.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE first ex-
periments ever made in the telegraphing
Of pictures for long distance was made
by the Call last night, when an outline pic
ture of the entry of the Queen of Fiesta
at Los Angeles was wired from the latter
place to this city. The experiment was
successful. The inventor believes his idea
to be most valuable in newspaper work or
in the police or secret service. A good pic
turc can be sent at the cost of and in
about the space CT $50 words 1t should
take no longer than half an hour to send
and reproduce a diagram. The picture is
drawn originally upon a paper ruled off
into small squares each. about one-tenth
of an inch in diameter. Each vertical line
is numbered along the upper margin and
every horizontal line is lettered down the
slate. Every square Is therefore identified
with d number and 4 letter, and its location
Is where the two lines designated cross each
other. With the original drawing before
him the operator describes the course Of
lines from point to point and the message
contains only many signs and combina-
tions as there are changes in the directions
in the lines forming the picture. This de-
scription being received at the other end
of the wire the lines described are simply
reproduced on q similar ruled surface.

HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT.
Condition of the City as Regards
Mortality.

The favorable condition of the health of
the District which was shown by the last
report of the health department continued
through the past week. The total mortality,
which amounted to 127 at the end of March
and fell to 1O4 during the first week of this
month, diminished to 9S. The noticeable
absence of any death from diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles, whooping cough or
any of the dangerous contagious diseases
extended throughout the week. Neither has
any fatal case from typhoid fever been re-
ported during the last fortnight, while
smallpox seems to have disappeared so far
as to justify the health officer in directing
the discontnuance of the smallpox hos
pital. Deaths from acute lung diseases
dropped to 13 as compared with the 80 re-
ported in the previous week, and as yet
diarrhoeal complaints have not appeared
to any noticeable extent. Stated in general
terms, the health of the city, as judged by
the degree of mortality and compared with
former years, may be pronounced as in a
favorable state.

The Monroe Doctrine has NO StOnu-
ing With England.
LONDON, April 1.-THE st. James Ga
zette this afternoon commenting upon the
latest developments in the dispute between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, says:
There is wonderful ignorance of diplo-
macy upon the part of the American jour-
nalists. Why should we want 10 lombard
Greytown? If Nicaragua has been so fool
ish as to refuse to pay the Indemnity
which, with the knowledge of the United
States we demanded, We shall take such
steps as the American government was
perfectly aware of at the time of asking.
The Monroe doctrine has been a doctrine
for sixty-two years, and has not been act
ed upon yet. When Great Britain has seri-
Gus differences to settle with South Ameri-
can republics il will not be prevented from
doing SO by anything but settled interna-
tional law
The Chronicle, remarking that the Mon
roe doctrine has never been acted upon,
says: Surely II has its corollanes. Wash
ington ought not to interfere with Turkey
as it is doing in Beyroot, and If Europe
must not interfere in the west will Wash
ington guarantee the behavior of the semi
barbaTous states of Central and South
America? Nothing could be more conve-
nient for us than to deal with Washing
ton direct in such Matters
