New Vaccination Law.

LONDON, March 1.-Opponents of
vaccination are satisfied with the gov
ernmeEt measure amending the vac
cination acts. They hoped that the
government would be forced by public
opinion to abolish compulsory vac
cination. The bill proposes an ex-
tension of the age to six months, the
continuance of gratuitOus vaccination,
permissio to no AXE declsra alton upon
oath of conscieh ious objection, while
power is given to all parents to require
the use of calf lymph. The duty of
providing free vaccination is also
transferred from the poor law to the
sanitary authorities.

UNPLEASANT FEATURES.
A McKinley-Hanna Proposition to Tenn
pOrize With Spaiu

pOrize With Spaiu
WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two un-
pleasant features developed in the
Spanish crisis today. They are: first,
the outcropping of McKinley-Hanna
proposition to temporizs with Spain un-
til public attention is diverted, when
the death of 250 sailors ard the loss of
the Maine may be salved with a money
tribute; e,ond, sensational differences
between the administration and the
heads of the senate and house commit
tees on naval affairs. The preside Mt
has evidently d. cided to hold the coun-
try in suspense for a long time before
he will permit the board OF inquiry to
make public report. Just how long
they will be delayed may depend large
ly upon the patience of tn people.

two currents of feeling on Wall street

that there has been a postponemeut in
