The president, Secretary Alger, Gen.

Mahan are present considering future
plans.
The council lasted two hours, but
nothing was given out concerning it.
Secretary Alger denies that it was of
more than ordinary Importance, and
also denies any dissatisfaction with
Gen. Miles. He says he was recalled
to Washington to consult as to the
campaign, which has developed be-
yond the proportions originally ex-
pected, and needs amendment in some
particulars. Larger drafts for troops
than at first looked for, he says,
may result in the third call for troops,
but this is not to he made till the
equipments are arranged for. The

that Great Britain will not hold the

to be due to lack of coal owing to the
Welsh strike, but in others it is be-

due to lack of coal as ample sup

A correspondent of the Washington
Post gives the following appalling ty-
phoid statistics: Every year in the
United States 400,0 people are sick
with typhoid fever. Forty thousand Of
them die. They are sick 2S days on an
average out Of every 1856 days Thus
we have 100000 days Of sickness
from this disease.
Every case of this sickness means one
month, generally two months, Of idle
ness If the wages of the patient ars
only so cents a day, there is loss OF
$l5 month. Generally this sickness
means loss Of wages in two months
time of 500 or $50. The average loss OF
wages for six weeks would be $50. Add
to this the doctors bill, which is any.
where from 600 to $l00-we will say
500. II the patient lives in the city and
has trained nurse for only three weeks
there is another $40. Ten dollars fol
the prepared food. ice, milk, etc.
brings this moderate bill up to &l65.
Multiply this by the number Of people
sick, and we can see every year In the
United States $66. 900. 900 lost to pa
tients by the inroads OF this one disease.
