A HEALTH COMMISSION.
A Bill In the senate Regarding Ma
tiOnal Quarantine.


tiOnal Quarantine.
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin has intro
duced hill for the establishment of a
commission Of public health. which is to
have charge OF all matters connected with
the national quarantine.
The membership of the commission is
to be made up Of a commission and a rep
resentative from each State and Territorial
board Of health. the Surgeons General of
the Army and Of the Navy, and the Sur
geon General OF the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. or some other medical officer assigned
from either service by the chief thereof
with the approval of the President
The commission is to be known as the
National Commission of Public Health"
and will be made a bureau under the
Treasury Department Provision is made
for the appointment of a commissioner by
the President for a term of six years at
a yearly salary OF $4,000. and OF an assist
ant commissioner, upon the recommenda-
ton Of the commission, at yearly salary
OF $4,000.
The commission will assume the dis
charge of all duties heretofore imposed

States and will cooperate with State,
municipal, and local boards OF health with
view TO the preservation OF the public
health.

The Aby..inisn Menace.

Reports from Rome state that Menelek
the Negus Of Abyssinia, has determined TO
take advantage of the British situation and
TO invade the Soudan. much Of the territory
in which he has always claimed as belong
ing to his country. According to the de-
spatches Menelek had determined upon this
course before The Tugela River battle. 1t
is expected, therefore, that the news of Sir
Gedyers Buffers defeat will orecipitate
matters, and that movement toward the
border may be started at once.
II this menace to the British power In
the Nile Valley is as serious as represent
ed. the probabilities are hat the War Of
ice will cancel tie assignment OF Lord
Kitchener to South Africa, arI leave him
in the Soudan to cope with the new enemy.
1t is said that Meneiek regards the Sirdar
with extreme respect and fear, and that the
latter's withdrawal would aItorl hi:H adji
tional encouragement to take the war
path.
The Abyssinians are foes not TO be des-
pised. They are excellent fighting men
and. for several years. large numbers Of
than have been under the instruction OF
European officers. Menelek's defeat CT the
Italian expedition, entrenched in strong
position, will be remembered in evidence OF
what these dusky mountaineers are able to
do against civilized foe. Their emperor
can put two hundred thousand warriors
into the field. and perhaps half of that
number armed with modern weapons.
Ccincidently with this alarming report, il
is said that Russia and other European
powers are beginning to display an openly
unfriendly attitude toward Great Britain.
The Abyssinian movement may moi be un-
connected with such manifestation. II
looks very much as If Butler lost more for
his Queen than the eleven hundred men and
eleven guns sacrificed in front of Colenso.
