PROPOSE 4 NEW ORDINANCE.

Board of Health Favor the Inspectors Be-
 ing Given Police Powers-RuIes For
 Collecting Garbage.
 The committee appointed at the meet ing of the board of health several weeks ago to draft resolutions concerning the collecting of garbage has made a re- port and rules so far as apply to the collection by private parties have been adopted. They provide that any person desiring to collect garoage mast ap- ply to the clerk of the board of health for license, the said application to be accompanied with a list of the houses from which he is to co,leet f. the name of the street upon which the house is located and the name of the resident. It will also be the duty of the collector to notify the clerk of the board of any one who is dropped from his list. The board of health will not be responsible for the manner in which the collection is made, nor the non-per- formance of his duty, as long as the party complaining remains upon the list of the collector
 Another important step in the secur- ing wholesome obedience of the ga, - bage ordinance is one suggested last evening concerning the establishment of a sanitary police force. Messrs Blake and Dibble were appointed to draft an ordinance to be submitted to the court of common council giving the health inspectors police power in matters pertaining exclusively to their department. The reason for this inno- vation is found in the fact that as the law now is the health inspector must follow the unsanitary gatherer of gar bage until policeman is found before an arrest may be made.
 It was stated that the board of pub lie works required a bond of S1 1000 to be executed before any one could do outside plumbing, but that the board of health has no power to exact bond from those who do inside plumbing, over which it has jurisdiction This the board thinks should be remedied as soon as possible. The plumbing in- spector and MT. Dibble of the board were appointed to examine into the qualifications of all applicants for a license to do plumbing and report to the board.
 A communication was received from the Pasteur Institute, New York, offer ing to make meteorological examina- tions of diphtheritical membranes. No charge will be made for the tests and transportation will be paid by the in stitute. The board voted to accept the favor as far as practicable and extend ed 8 vote of thanks for the courtesy.

The senator MT. Sherman added was away week or two and did not Know what was going on here. Laughter) MT. Morgan asked MT. Hoar whether he could devise any method by which
 the senate or the president could get
 access to the center of Cuba to-day for the purpose of getting information.
 MT Hoar retorted with the question
 whether MT Morgan thought the sen
 ate should act without information be-
 cause of the difficulty of obtaining it,
 MT. Morgan replied that the senators
 had reports of the consuls in Cuba.
 That is what the senator now says,
 Mir Hoar responded. but the commit
 tee on foreign relations has not in-
 formed the senate whether these con
 sular reports are true. We have had
 nothing but impassioned speeches from
 some of it's members. That is not the
 way in which our foreign relations should be treated"
 MT. Morgan asked MT. Hoar on what he had acted when he was so ardent about outrages on the Armenians. MT Hoar replied that what he had proposed in regard to Armenia was just what he proposed in regard to Cuba to say to the president that the senate was ready to sustain him in any meas
 ure that he might see fit to take for the
 protection of the lives and property of Americans there.
 MT. Chandler sought to add to MT. Hoar's annoyance by reading that sen ator's telegram to MT. Cleveland saying
 that the president might depend upon his vote and speech in the senate for
 the most vigorous action the president could take.
 MT. Hoar defended his course on the Armenian question, saying that he had investigated that subject thoroughly. Finally MT. Hoar's resolution was al lowed to go over till tomorrow instead
 of being sent to the calendar in accord
 ance with the rule MT. Hoar stating he would address the senate and and aim | ing a parting shaft at MT. Sherman, saying that that senator had imputed
 to him a very improper motive and in a very improper way"
 The senate then proceeded to the con- sideration of the question whether MT. Dupont has or has not been duly elected Q senator from Delaware, MT. Turpie, dem, of Indiana, continuing his argu- | ment of yesterday against MT Duponts right to the seat. Without action the senate at 4:40 adjourned.

Two Rioters Shot.

London, March 10.-In the house of commons this evening MT. Chamber lain, secretary of state for the colonies, speaking with reference to the riots on the island of St. Kits, stated that on February 19 the governor wired that serious riots had broken out and a number of houses burned. Two of the rioters had been shot. On February % the governor sent another dispatch say ing that the island was more quiet than at the time his previous dispatch was sent, and that there was no doubt that the presence of British warship would prevent recurrence of the disorder. MT. Chamberlain in reply to a question said that there was no truth in the re- port of the intended arrest of Cecil Rhodes by the authorities of Cape Col ony, nor had he any information that any other countries contemplated such action.
