terday that they thought the epidemic Of the

show signs of abatement soon. The change from
damp, foegy and clustering weather to dry ana
clear weather. the officials said. would have
considerable effect in essening the danger to
the people who were obliged to be out OF doors
although colder weather was to be desired
President Murphy OF the Board OF Health said:
There is less danger from the grip tod. y
than there during the disasreeable weather
% the last few days The fact that the death
rate remains hsh IS no proof that the grip epi-
DEM is increasing A high death rate is to he
expected when the weather conditions are SO
had as they have been. ! do not think there has
been any cause for a scare When he weather
gets settled / think there will be few cases OF
the grip reported IN the city"
Reports from the Police Department and Fire
Department, yesterday Indicated that fewer po-
licemen and fremcn We're suffering from the grip
than on Thursday. One death from the grin
was reported at Bellevue Hospital. but the phy-
sicians there said that Fewer cases were
being treated at the hospital and dispensary

COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
WILLIAMS OF MISSISSIPPI REPLIES
TO DINGLEY.

The Latter's Talk of Constitutional
Amendment to Regulate the Hours
of Labor Characterized as Absurd.
MIR. williams Accuses MIR. DingIey
of Trying to Arouse the Cotton
Mill Operatives of the South to
Strike or to Create Hatred Against
Them in the North.
Washington, March 9.-The House de-
voted itself to routine business to-day.
The legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill went through its last
stages ira the adoption of the final confer
ence report and the remainder of the day
was consumed in the consideration of the
Senate amendments to the Indian appro-
priation bill.
The substitute for the Senate provision
regarding the opening of the Uncompahgre
reservation was knocked out on a point of
order and the amendment goes back to
the conference.
'The desire of the conferees to nom
concur in the Senate freehold clause en-
countered bitter opposition. and an ar
rangement was made whereby four hours
are to be devoted to debate on a PROPOSE
ton to concur submitted by Mr.. Eddy of
Minnesota.
MIR Sherman, chairman of the Indian
committee, declared that the free home
stead provision would cost the govern
n1ent $55,OOO,OOO. He desired to eliminate
it from the bill, and has the support of the
Secretary of the Interior.
During the consideration of the Indian
appropriation bill, Mr. Williams, Dem, of
Mississippi, under the latitude allowed for
debate in committee, answered a speech
made some time ago by Mr.. Dingley con-
trasting the condition of the cotton indus
try in the North and South. On that oc-
casion Mr.. Dingley, he said, had spoken
of the possible necessity of a constitution
al amendment to regulate the hours of
labor so as to remove the disadvantage
under which Northern operatives with
their shorter hours of labor suffered. The
talk of such an amendment Mr.. Williams
said, was absurd and he was forced to the
conclusion that the purpose of Mr.. Ding
ley's speech was either to arouse the
Southern operatives to strikes as COM
pensation to the Northern manufacturers
or to create hatred in the North against
the cotton operatives of the South.
Mr. williams read letters from many
Southern mills explaining the advantages
they possessed over their Northern rivals.
The House non-concurred in the Senate
amendment to the District of Columbia
appropriation bill, and at $40 o'clock adj
journed.

BoUTELLE ON THE NAVY.
Its Position Now Described as One
of Great Responsibility,

Philadelphia, Pa, March 9.-The thirty
sixth anniversary of the naval battle of
the Monitor and the Merrimac was cele-
brated tonight by banquet given by the
Pennsylvania Commandery of the Naval
Order of the United States. The guests
included prominent citizens and distin-
guished navy and army officers.
Congressman c. A. Boutelle of Maine,
chairman of the naval committee, respond
ed to the toast The Navy" Mr.. Boutele
made no direct reference to the Maine dis
aster but referred to the "momentary
distraction of wildness which is being in
flicted upon us by the PRESS
Referring to the progress in naval arch
itecture, he said: There IS no domain
in which the magnificent power and latent
resources of this country have been so
wonderfully exhibited as in the rehabili-
tation of the American navy within the
past twelve years. We have built ships
which all find are the swiftest and most
invulnerable in the world"
Continuing, Congressman Boutelle said:
Standing, as we do tonight on a solid
basis of peace with all the world, yet with
in the shadow of possible hostilties, / am
proud to congratulate you on the marvel
Gus evolution of our navy from helpless
ness to a position Of great responsibility
among the navies of the world. The SPLEEN
did adaptability of the American people
has never been better exemplihed."
