ON STATE PRINTER.
Caucus of the Republicans May Be
Postponed Till Monday.

The time for caucusing on state print
er has not been definitely decided on by
the Republicans yet. Three of the can
didates, Lands, Capper and Morgan,
had come to an agreement among them
selves to have it Thursday evening, but
Mr.. Crane wishes it postponed till Mon
day. None of the others wish to urge
the matter, and the question will prob
ably be left to a conference committee
from the house and senate caucuses, to
be appointed tonight or tomorrow.
1t is quite likely that the caucus will
be postponed in Difference to Mr. Cranes

SEN ACE CLAIMS
Against the State to be Filed by Feb
ruary goth.

All claims and accounts and bills
against the state created by the senate
will be passed upon by the ways and
means committee, and the senate today
adopted Mr.. HesSin's resolution that all
claims shall be filed before the commit
tee by February 20.
This will preclude the attachment of
riders to appropriation bills by sem

senate will make only such appropria-
tions as are recommended by the COM

TO PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER.

Information has been received at the
war department that the British army
officials have determined to inoculata
all their troops with recently discoy-
cred vaccine as protective against ty-
phoid fever. Surgeon General Stern
berg has just received a letter on the
subject from DR.. H. S. Muir, deputy a.
.rector-general of the British medical
service, and it is probable that tire
medical service of the United States
army will adopt the same measures Of
protection.
The question was referred today By
General Sternberg to one of the army
medical officers for investigation and
report A private letter received by
General Sternberg from Director-Gen-
eral Jamison, of the British medical
service, says that the vaccine has been
used already among some of the Brit
ish troops with excellent results Or
ders have already been issued for the
incubation OF all troops in India and
also those going to south Africa. The
discovery is regarded as very impor-
tant, the principle of which is to in0c-
ulate the patient with measured guam
titles of dead but still poisonous micro
organisms.
It is claimed that such inoculation is
entirely free from all danger to the pa
tient. In the English army the men
have been yaccinated on the hip and
experience has shown that constitu-
tional symptoms consisting of fainting
and collapse begin to manifest them
selves generally in two or three hours.
Director-General Jamison, in his letter
calls General Sternberg's attention to
the NEGOTIATIONS by Professor Wright
at Bangalore, where he inoculated 250
soldiers of the west riding regiment
against enteric or typhoid fever The
records showed that $500 men were
annually i'll there with typhoid fever
and that the deaths reached 300, or
200 attendants at the Maidstone Asy-
lum, 95 were inoculated and none con-
tracted the fever during the epidemic
there. OF those who refused to under
go the process 10 suffered from the d.
sease. At Khartoum, of s officers,
were inoculated. The inoculated es-
capped the disease and of the other two
one was very i'll and the other died.
Professor Wright's report showed
that he had inoculated altogether 5000
troops and the medical sheets showed
that more than half of this number
never caught the fever, while the other
had it only mildly.
