Yesterday, after a deliberation of four
days, the Everett board OF health arrived
at the conclusion that every persons in the
city, %, 900 strong. should undergo vacci-

each householder in the city notice to
that effect, stating that free vaccination
could be had at the City Hall.
That building looked like day nursery

the board OF aldermen yesterday. In
a little ante-room sat Drs. Bruce, Sawyer,

Newport News, Va, Aug. 10.-Fo1r
S-inch guns have been received at the ship
yard here for the upper turrets of the first
class battleship Kentucky, which is rap
idly approaching completion. As soon as
the Kentucky's four 13-inch guns arrive
her main battery will be complete and she
will be ready for her builders trial in a

try on terms which business competition
would confine to absolute fairness and i'm
partiality The question of alleged preju-
dice, therefore, need not concern u.s. The
social aspects of the matter, however, are
highly important.
Some of our New York contemporaries.
basing their view upon the Savannah table
given above, argue that, in the course OF
a measurable length of time, the negroes
will diminish in numbers and finally dis
appear from the United States But the
Savannah record is not ample enough to
cover the ground. 1t represents experience
in but one city of moderate size in the
South where the conditions of life among
the colored people are perhaps an average
OF what they are in Southern urban COM
munities generally.
The one statement of prime value, made
by the actuary, is that the mortality among
negro as compared with white infants, is
frightful. There is no doubt that this is
true; but il is not necessarily conclusive
of race diminution. The excessive fecund-
ity of the blacks in comparison with the
whites, must be taken into consideration
and will tend to modify conclusions.
No doubt it is fact that adult negroes
in all cities live under conditions, moral
and physical, that make against longevity.
and it may be that there is a general race
tendency to pulmonary diseases. But none
of these things, as far as We can see. are
very different from what they have been
ever since the Civil War. during which
time there has been steady increase OF
the race. The census of 1890 may not
have been reliable, but it seemed to show
a sturdy growth. The next census ought
to den onstrate the fact of decadence if il
exists But We cannot pin much faith
upon deductions from the hurried canvass
that is usually made in Southern districts,
especially large country districts, in which
the data most favorable TO the negro
should be found. The subject is a very
important one, however, and should re-
ceive all the attention and study the Cen
sus Bureau is able TO give it.

AGAINST MIR. ARTHUR.
The Locomotive Engineers' Official
Accused of NOn-Uni0n Practices.

The Locomotive EnEineers' Official
Accused of NOn-uni0n Practices.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 10.-A whirlwind
of protest is sweeping through the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers, one of
the most powerful union organizations In
the world, against P. M. Arthur, grand
chief of the organization. Arthur brought
down upon himself the wrath OF the local
divisions of the organization by his posi-
tion in the Big Consolidated strike. He
was riding in Big Consolidated cars and
said he knew of no reason why he should
not, and proposed to continue to ride In
them. Deyereaux Division 167 of the
Brotherhood was the first lodge to con-
denim Chief Arthur. 1t donated $100 to the
strikers and adopted resolutions to show
that the chiefs sentiments were not those
of Deyereaux Division.
Next Cleveland division No. 81, another
local lodge, unanimously adopted resolu-
tions prohibiting its members from riding
in Big Consolidated cars during the strike
and condemning Chief Arthur for his So
called anti-union sentiments. Today Ash
tabula division No. 260 and Collinwood d.
vision No. 8 gave notice that the last night
they took similar action.
Yesterday afternoon resolutions were
adopted by the joint board of engineers
and firemen of the l.. S! and NJ. S. Rail-
roads. These resolutions relate that the
board desires that the public know that
this action ON the part of Chief Arthur Is
personal and does not involve the senti-
ments or meet with the approval of the
membership at large and We can assure
the street employees union that this MEM
bership universally condemns this action
of our grand chief
Resolved, that these resolutions be fur
nished to the newspapers for publication.
Charges are to be preferred against Chief
Arthur and he may be removed.

THE RACES IN THE SOUTH.
A Declaration That the Colored Man
ShOuld Leave.

Should Leave.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 10.-Pope Brown,
President OF the Georgia Agricultural So
ciety, in calling that body to order in
Quitman yesterday declared with emphasis
that the time has come when the negro
and white man must part. He asked the
society to consider the race question Sc
riously as one of the greatest which con-
fronts the Southern farmer, and declared
his own opinion in favor of colonization of
the negro race. His speech was loudly
applauded by the several hundred farmers
present.
THE terrible crimes of negroes" Mr..
Brown said, force us to consider the ques-
tion Of dispensing with negro labor. The
question is one between the white men of
the South and the negroes. Let US alone
and there will be no trouble. The South
haters OF the North are at the bottom of
the trouble. We need not fatter ourselves
that these South haters are few in number.
There are many of them. Mr.. Thurber
rendered US g. service by telling us what
the North thinks of US. 1t is high time
we should let the North alone. Quit run
ming after those people; quit toadying to
them.
"The negro leaders say this is not their
home, and they are talking OF colonization
schemes. / do not know whether these
are practical or not, but believe it is to
the interest of the people OF the South to
aid and abet the negroes In the effort TO
leave us. The time has come for the
parting of the white man and negro"

White Plains Aug. 10.-George L. Pull
man arrived here last evening to take the
Kelley treatment, and he says he is going
to make man of himself. Pullman and
his negro valet, Arthur Wells, map fifty
years old, arrived yesterday and took

Today Pullman enters the Keeley Insti-
tuted to be treated for what he thinks one
OF the worst diseases known to mankind.
and he hopes to be pronounced cured at
the end of his six weeks course.
Before coming here young Pullman
went to Long Branch TO bid his mother
good-by.
Mrs Pullman drove her son to the sta
tion, and just before the AS train for
New York pulled out she threw herself in
to his arms and wept copiously. George

HOSTILE INDIANS IN ALASKA.
Causes of the Massacre on Ninivak
Island Last Summer.

San Francisco, Aug 1O.-A letter has
been received at Nunivak Island. Alaska,
dated September 20, 1898. giving the de-
tails of the massacre by Kuskowi Indians
of the steamer Jessie expedition, at the
mouth of Kuskowi River, in June last year.
The first reports received declared that the
vessel had been wrecked, and that all sew
enteen members of the party had been
drowned. prospector who married an
Indian woman now writes from Nunivak
Island giving details of the murder as OBJ
tanned from his wife. He says:
81 have been hunting and trapping in
this section for about six years, and know
these Indians to be treacherous, and they
should be taught severe lesson. My
wife says the Indians do not want the
whites on the river, as the whites will take
their land away if gold is found"
1t is understood that the Government has
ordered the revenue cutter Corwin to kus-
kowi River to investigate, and if the fact
of a massacre is established to severely
punish the Indians.

Paterson, N. j., Aug. 10.-Vice President
Garret A. Hobart, who for years has been
president of the Paterson Railway Com
pany, the largest trolley system in that
city, has resigned the presidency and sold

This syndicate may soon control all the
