WAR AMONG DocToRs.-The orders
for compulsory vaccination have
brought on rate war among Suffolk's
physicians. DR.. ". W. Murray, one OF
the most prominent, who, until yester-
day, collected the customary 81 fee,
despite the fact that others were doing
it for so cents, yesterday afternoon
posted notice offer his services at 10
cents case. A stir was caused in pro-
fessional circles. DR.. Murray says
professionally, it has always and
everywhere, except in Sufolk-and
here, too, until recently-been coDsd-
cred worth at least 50, but CONNER
cially considered, as it is here now, it
is not worth 80 cents. Considering
the time and great skill required, it is
not worth to the men who do it a pen
ny more than 10 cents.

American Interests in Samoa.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-The
report that the battleship Oregon may 90
to Samoa is characterized at the Navy
Department IS absurd. There is no H.
tention whatever of sending her there
but she will be held at Honolulu. II
is pointed out that there is nothing at
Samoa but matched huts and miniature
gunboats to shoot at, while the Oregon
is especially adapted to take care of
heavily armored cruisers and battle
ships. The needs to protect American
interests in Samoa are fully covered by
a cruiser Of the Philadelphia type.

The DISMISSED CADETs.-The case
of the dismissed first class OF the Viz
GINA Military Institute. at Lexington,
Va appears to be much mooted ques
ton. The superintendent, Gen. Scott
Ship, has, so far as known, never ex
pressed himself as to what course will
be pursued by him when the time comes
for the case to be brought before the
board of visitors, on the 18th instant
That the members of the class are not
without an executive head is evinced
by the fact, judging from reports now
circulated and which come from re-
liable source, that one of the dismissed
cadet officers has been going the rounds
and paying visits to all the members of
the board of visitors in the interest of
his class. The general opinion lof the
faculty of the Virginia Military Insti-
tute appears to be that the dismissed
cadets should not be reinstated under
any circumstances.

The Secretary of tie Ioterior this
morning settled the clam OF Arcu-
bishop Ireland 10 large tract of iaud
in Minnesota, which is within ne in-
demnity limit of railroad compaCy's
claim. Archbiship Ireland bad two
contracts with the company respecting
the sale of these lands. Ooe contract,
made in 1880, is held by the Secretary
to constitute Irelan1 only a broker or
agent of the railway company, who was
authorized to sell on behalf OF the rail-
way company and not on his own &C
count the lands described. As to the
lands the Secretary decides that the
purchasers through Ireland and not
ireland himself are entitled to the
lands. The other contract was made
10 1883 and the Secretary holds that it
gave Ireland the option of purchasing
for himself or others the lands describ-
ed, and that to the extent that he eyer-
cised this option by arranging for sub
sales, he is the purchaser from the rail-
way company and is entitled to the
lands. This decision gives Archbishop
ireland about $1,000 acres and denies
his claim to the other 5000.

THERE Is negro in Louisiana who,
in respect Of one thing at leas', shows
more good sense than all the republic
cans who recommended, and the Presi-
dent who nominated him for Office in
that State. He has declined the posi-
ton which Mr.. Mckinley offered him,
and assigns, as his reason for doing so,
the facts that the white people OF LOuisi-
ana are the governing class there and
that mis- nomination is Objectionable TO
them, and that as he BOW respects
them, and they him, and as he is living
quietly and safely among them, he
would rather that condition should re-
main, than change it by accepting q
short term federal Office. 1t wouldn't
be at all surprising if, in view Of his
declination, all opposition to his ap-
pointment be withdrawn.
