session. Mr.. Hume, of the bridge com
mittee OF the Washington board
of trade, rendered to Colonel
Allen the services and good will
of that committee, with the design of
making the bridge, like the National
Library, the finest structure OF its kind
in the world. The interview was an in
Ieresting AMI pleasant one, and was duly
appreciated by Col. Allan. who stated
thai owing to the unusual activity
caused by the Spanish war bis duties
had taken him from the bridge subject
tc placing mines in and mounting big
guns Oh the Potomac river for the pro-
lection Of the national capital, but that
now the bridge matter would be taken
up and designs and calculations made.
The Colonel also intimated that the

reported in Washington yesterday.
That city seems to be full of smallpox
now. If the Marine Hospital Service
be as regardful of the health of the
country at large as he is of that Of
Washington City it would have in
spectors stationed at the railroad de-
pots and steamboat wharves OF that
CITY. TO arrest and detain al persons az
dicted with smallpox who may attempt
to go elsewhere.

SOUTHERN CITIES, like Southern peo-
ole, are feeling the effects of hard times.
Certainly this one is, aud for that rea
son it has, through its constituted
authorities, been compelled to curtail
its expenses. Smallpox has already
added great deal to those expenses,
and with increased expenditures and
decreased receipts, the only way to get
along is to increase taxes, which, of
course, would be highly Objectionable
to every taxpayer in the city.

IT Is ANNOUNCED in Washington
that the President now says the people
of the Philippine Islands must be
thoroughly whipped" before order
can be expected in those islands.
Thoroughly whipped" means crushed
if not annihilated. But it was only 8
short time ago that the President said
the policy to be pursued toward the
Filipinos was that OF benevolent assim-
ulation sud that all respect must be
paid to their manners, customs and re-
ligion. The poor Fllipinos now, like
She Cubaus, and many other people, ex-
perience a realizing SENSE of the folly
of not bearing the ills they had, ralh-
or than flying TO others that they knew
not OF.
