THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

Held in Denver.

Convention OF the American a ASSOCIATION
Held in Denver.
Denver, Oct. 3.-The twenty third
annual meeting of the American Pub
lie Health Association met here to-
night. The president, DIR. Joseph
Hartzell, of Canton, Ohio, read paper
on 'The Mississippi river as Sewer"
DR.. Hartzell said 261 900 tons of garb-
age and 1000 dead animals, suffering
from CHAMBERS, tuberculosis, etc., had
been thrown in the Mississippi in one
year by four cities. The Mississippi
valley drained 800, 100000 acres, the
pollution of all gradually drifting into
the stream.
1.-THE government should put stop
to the pollution of its streams, but the
average politician is not sanitarian, I"
said DR.. Hartzell. every other ma
ton has a national board of health and
it is high time that our government
followed this example,"
DR.. Peter H. Bryce, of Toronto, read
paper on pollution of Water Sup
plies" He spoke particularly of the
waters dividing the United States from
Canada, and told how, during the past
summer, he had assisted the govern
ment cutters in capturing number of
garbage boats sent down from Detroit
with hundreds of tons of garbabe, and
narrowly avoided an international dis
pute. He scored the various cities on
the American side of the streams fol-
paying no attention to the cities below
and suggested that the cities be fined
$50 day until they build sewage
works.

went to refute the contention of the
prosecution that somebody else an
swered to Durrant's name on the day
of the murder. On the other hand, the
prosecution contends that the testi-
mony is unimportant, inasmuch as sew
enty three students might give salts
factory evidence for the defense, while
the seventy fourth member of the class,
if he could be found, will give evil
dence that the prosecution SO much de-
sires.
Great stress was laid by both sides
today on the memory of the witnesses
as to the individual students who at
tended the lecture. While the prose-
cution showed that not one of the stu
dents who were placed on the stand re-
membered seeing Durrant at the lee
ture, the defense brought out the fact
that the witnesses did not remember
any other student who was present.
The days testimony, therefore, result
ed in no material advantage to either

shown and Never Were Speakers
! More Seriously in Earnest.
Chicago, Oct. 2.-As much OF the
population of Chicago as Gould find en-
trance tousthe auditorium Of Central
Music hall and the Y. M.7G A. build
ings tonight shouted itself hoarse in
appreciation of series of resolutions
in which the government is asked to
recogni re the Cubans as belligerents.
Such genuine enthusiasm has seldom
been witnessed in this city, and on no
occasion were words spoken by men
more full of the heart and soul than
the speakers.
Mayor George B. Swift presided at
the main meeting in Central Music
hall, while Judge William A. Vincent
was chairman of the overflow meeting
in the Association building. There
were seventeen vice-presidents who oc-
cupled seats on the platforms, chosen
from leading business men, and each
had previously expressed himself as III
full accord with the object of the meet
ings.
Among kilograms from men who
could not be present was one from
Governor John P. Altgeld, and its
ringing words called forth cheer after
cheer. 1t was as follows:
'It is time that Spanish misrule,
Spanish brutality and Spanish outrage
should be driven from the American
continent The nations have long as
serted the right to interfere for the
purpose of suppressing a practice thai
shocks the moral sense of the civilized
world, such as cannibalism and the
slave trade, yet the cannibals do moi
indulge in wholesale slaughter nor tor
ture their victims, while in Cuba the
torture is fiendish and the butchery
continues.
1--WE must end these horrors or else
talk less about Christian civilization.
Besides, when viewed from geo
graphical and political or a military
standpoint, Cuba should be ours. LIE
our country first extend recognition

Senator Cullom wired: 1.-THE PEG

be free from Spanish domination. Gu

sistent with national honor in their be
half.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 5.-More COM
plete returns reduce the Republican
plurality claimed about one-third. The
return from cities received from the
rural districts increased the Demo-
cratic vote so that McKinley's plurality
is now estimated at from $4,000 to 60, :
600. The Democratic state committee
give no figures, but they claim they
will make gains over the vote of the
last three years when Republicans had
pluralties Of $4,000 in 1893, 1877, 900 in
1894, and $4,000 in 1895. The Demo-
Gratis claim four to five out Of 10 con-
gressmen and the Republicans concede
three congressman to them. When the
Republicans carried Ohio by $4,000
two years ago, the Democrats elected
only two congressman.

Mr.. Bryan was comparatively early
riser. He had had his breakfast and
was receiving callers at o'clock. He
was cheerful and buoyant, and clearly
showed that he had had refreshing
nights rest. kilograms began to ar
rive early in the day, and while none
OF them made any positive claims. as
to the general result, they were all of
an encouraging character, giving the
Democratic candidate far more ground
for hope than do the public bulletins
Dispatches from Kentucky made pos
tive claim for him for that state on
the basis Of big gains in the western
sections, while encouraging word was
received from Indiana and Michigan.
Mr.. Bryan commented upon these as a
disinterested observer might have done,
but made no general claims upon them.
He said he would have no comment to
make until the result was absolutely
known. Among the dispatches re-
ceiven were several from Senator Jones,
national chairman, all Of which were
reassuring. One admirer, apparently
accepting the reports of defeat as au-
thentic, wired:
