CAMP FOR SUSPECTS.
Another Smallpox PrecaHtiOn to he

Adopted.
Health Officer Woodward has at last sue
ceeded in establishing what is known a
suspect camp for persons VINO sno"
symptoms of the smallpox, although there
is no certainty that they actually have tne
disease The need of such place was
fully demonstrated today, when one OF the
hospitals reported that there was patient
With some of the smallpox symptoms. This
patient lives in boarding house, and he
has the pain in the back, headac he and
nausea and although ne was received at
fha hospital he was isolated from the other
patients and word was sent to the health
office.
This man, the physicians think, may be
getting the smallpox. still he is not yet a
subject for the smallpox hospital, nor Will
he be permitted to return to his boarding
house. Thus the man is in an exceedingly
embarrassing situation, and as soon as the
suspect camp is in readiness, !ate this
afternoon or tomorrow. he will be sent
there unless the smallpox should develop
before that time
Henry Green, colored laborer who lives
at I227 Madison street, probably has the
smallpox. although the disease has not yet
fully developed. He Is a brother of Will
lam Green, who died IN the hospital yes
terday, and it is thought he took the dis
other suspicious cases We're reported before
80 o'clock this afternoon.
There are now eight patients In tho hos
pital in addition to the three members
of the Williams family, and sin of them
were reported this afternoon as doing nice
ly Two of the colored women, Sarah
Thomas and Mary GIaEt, arc not so we'll
and may die. Their condition is serious.
Ellen Smith. the woman sent to the work
house few days ago for vagraucy and
who volunteered to nurse the smallpox
patients has been pardoned by the Prcsi-
dent and she is now on duty in the hos
pital
Health officer Woodward is more than
pleased at the idea of having suspect
camp" At this place persons who exhibit
the symptoms of smallpox may be treated,
ard in this way they will not come in con-
tact with persons in boarding houses. at
their homes or on the streets, and may
prevent the spreading of the disease in
many cases. Notice has been given that
the girls reform school will not be open
for visitors on account of the smallpox now
in Washington, until further notice.

CEN. FOSTERS POSITION.
SpecuIr lion Regarding the Cnpncit. !.
In Which uc Will Figure.

In Which Uc viii Figure.
Speculation in diplomatic circles is active
regarding the capacity in which Gen.
Foster will figure in the negotiations be
tween the two belligerent powers. 1t is
thought unlikely that he will take part In
the conference as to do so he must be ap-
pointed by China Il pieniDotentiary, ana
doubt is expressed whether, under lnterha-
tional uSageS, a foreigner could bc appoint
ed cCnferee for either nation. lie GER
taInly could not be without the consent OF
the other party to the conference, ana
there is doubt whether Japan would give
her consent. If not commissioned as
p!euipotentiary. he might lie present ut the
negotiations in the subordinate capacity on
secretary, but it is doubted whether a dip
lOnlat who has been Secretary OF state ana
United States minister TO foreign nations
would care to play an inferior part.
No information has been received at the
Chinese legation regarding the emperor $
reported acton in depriEtng Ii Hung Chans
of military authority ana superseding hlm
in command by Liu Kun vi, viceroy OF
Lidng i&tahS-
MIR. CHUNG of the legation said today
that he thought it possible that the em-
peror had relieved the viceroy for the pres
ent of his civil duties, desiring him 10 de-
vote his entire attention to military oper-
atoms. The correspondents in emma hau
been rather inaI curate in their reports OF
governmental affairs, he said. although
tnis was quite natural, as they were obliged
to depend entirely upon interpreters on
account of the great difficulty in master
ing the Chinese language. He expressed
surprise at the story sent out by the United
Press that the Chinese minister had ac-
companied eX-SeCretary of State Foster n
his trip remarking that the minister WIS
still in Washington and had entertained no
intention of going with Gen. Foster.

Portland School Houses.

The Board of Health yesterday morn
ing reported to the Mayor that they had
examined the cement drains of the Butler
school house thoroughly. They found
the pipe so far as examined to be whole.
They found one line dry without cement
and another leaking badly although laid
in cement. They found one water con-
ductor trap leaking, the joint being laid
with cement when lead should be used.
They recommend that the cement drain
be replaced by iron pipe and that the old
water closets be taken out and modern
ones put in. This work if undertaken,
means the expenditure of $1,000 or $4,000.
The Board of Health have not recon-
mended the closing of the school, but
this may become necessary if extensive
work in the basement is begun.
The committee On Public Buildings
and not the School Committee must I'M
dertake this work, if it is done. The &C.
ment drains will be replaced by iron
pipe at once, but the question of new
water closets Will be considered

Portland Not to Have Monopoly of the

Cattle Trade.
Secretary Morton has not yet reached a
form al decision upon the application of
the Boston Chamber of Commerce for the
shipment of Canadian cattle from that
port, but he is strongly disposed to grant
the request, and will probably do so.
The only port from which shipments are
now allowed is Portland, which was
selecte as the nearest point for the Can
adian railways. Some obstacles have been
suggested to Secretary Morton by the
bureau officers of the department to adj
ding Boston on the list of ports, but the
Secretary is not disposed to throw any OBJ
stacles in the way of legitimate uom-
MERGE, and if it appears that considerable
shipments are likely OF take place from
Bos ton he believes that they should be
permitted. 1t is anticipated that the per-
mission of shipment from Boston will re
suit in applications from other ports but
these will be considered on their merits
