Contagious Diseases in This City.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
In looking over some health reports lately
I was surprised to see how large was the
number of cases of diphtheria and scarlet
fever in comparison with the number in
other cities. I had heretofore been looking
upon this sickness as unfortunate. but un-
avoidable; but when / find other cities, with
larger populations, having only half as
many cases, and sometimes less than one
third, and especially when 1 find the num-
ber of c;ses of scarlet fever in this city
about the same as IN New York, with about
ten times the population it looks like some
thing should be done about it.
/ see the health officer has asked for an
extra thousand dollars to combat these dis
eases, but he should have five times as
much, and as permanent appropriation.
and the people of this city would save
money by II. for il is only those who
perience having such sickness in their FAM
lilies that appreciate the expense il entails.
Many of our citizens spare no expense in
providing their residences with all needed
sanitary ARRANGEMENTS, and use every
means to maintain the health of their chill
dren, while in the alley just back of them
can possibly be found everything that
spreads disease. For instance. all over the
city are filthy box closets, although the
sewer is in half a square.
There is a measure which would probably
do more than anything else to prevent
amount of sickness in New York and Bos-
ton tends to prove it. In Boston every
morning fifty physicians, at an annual SAL
airy of 500, go TO different schools of the
city and look out for every possible case of
diphtheria and scarlet fever especially, In
this way they have found hundreds of cases
of sickness. Such children are at once sent
home for attention. In New York one hum
dred and thirty-four physicians are en-
ployed to visit The schools daily and weed
out all suspicious cases of contagious dis
eases. and they have succeeded I'm finding
many cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever.
1t is well known that contagious diseases
are disseminated largely at school. for
there We find the very conditions necessary
for the spread of disease, namely, a large
number of children in close contact of the
most susceptible age. and with little idea
or thought of sanitary precautions.
Let US have medical inspection of schools
here also, and see IL We cannot save some
of our little ones from these fearful dis
eases, which have been causing so much
suffering and death.

CONSJLS DEMAND AN APOLOGY.
German President of Apfa Charged
With OXerbenring Conduct.

The following advices were received at
Auckland New Zealand, yesterday from
Apia, Samoan Islands, under date OF Janu-
airy "a, from the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press:
There has been no further general fight
ing between the partisans of the rival
chieftains since the last advices were for
warded, except that a party of Mataafa
followers was routed in the bush by Maize
toans. 1t Is expected, however, that hght-
ing will be resumed, as Mataafa is rear
resting persons who have been already fined
and released.
The work of pillage continues, among the
houses looted being Vailima, the home OF
the late Robert Louis Stevenson, the novel
list. 81
There has been collision of authority
between Chief Justice William l.. Cham
bers of the supreme court and DR.. Joannes
Raffel the German president of the munich
pality of Apia. Herr Grosmuhl, a German
resident of Apia, who was arrested for
smashing the windows of the supreme
court chamber, was sentenced by the chief
justice to Imprisonment and to pay fine.
DIR. Raffel instructed the police authorities
to release Herr Grosmuhl, whose fine was
subsequently fixed at $1,000.
The German consul Herr Rose, there
upon wrote to the American consul, Lloyd
w. Osbourne, and the British consul, E. b.
5. Maxse. protesting that the action OF the
chief Justice in filming Herr Grosmuhl was
Messrs. Osbourne and Maxse Jointly re-
piled in their official capacity that the
proper tribunal having dealt with the mat
ter. the consuls could not interfere.
More than this. they declined to have
further intercourse with the German con-
sui OF the German municipal president, ex-
cept in writing, to attend meetings, ex-
cept to consider the acts of the municipal
council of Apia, unless an apology, with full
retraction. were offered for the behavior
toward Chief Justice Chambers.
AT the same time the supreme court sum
moned DR.. Raffel for contempt Of court in
releasing Herr Grosmuhl.

LONDON, January II. 1899.
1 have just returned from ireland, where
the whole country is absorbed in the first
elections under the new Irish local govern
ment act The elections were held yester-
day, and, as usual, where Ireland is con-
cerned, scarcely a word can be found in a
London newspaper today about what is a
great event for the sister isle. The in
difference of the English press to things
purely Irish Is astounding France, Ger
many, America, even the Philippines, claim
their attention, but Ireland rarely. Yet
what happened yesterday in Ireland is the
partial realization of the dream of years,
and what at one time compelled English
interest to a great degree. Perhaps it is
in revenge for being afflicted for years with
the eternal Irish question that the indiffer-
ence arises. In Ireland the papers are full
of the matter, and it is talked of everywhere.
If theh people could break away from their
parliamentary leaders they might be sat
isfied to fairly accept this new measure
and work out its completion of local rule,
and be content to forget the shibboleth
home rule. But far too much ignorance
exists in Ireland yet, and dependence upon
guides who may be right or who may be
wrong is rendered necessary. Amid all
the talk over the new act [ do not dis
cover great enthusiasm for it, though
doubtless 1t satisfies in a way. Nothing
like the old excitement over an election
that existed in the happy days of ParneIl
is shown in the present event Then it
was poor election that could not be sum-
med up in broken heads mobbing candi-
dates and fights with the police. THE
good old times are over said one of the
patriots to me. These things they call
elections with the women voting, too.

MoraIist and Artist.

The Russian artist Eerestchagin is exhib-
iting a number of paintings in London at
present, some of which L remember seeing
in New York some years ago, and many of
which are of more recent date. His won
derful canvases illustrative of the retreat
from Moscow are almost terrifying in their
grim realism. Every detail of that most
awful episode of Napoleon's career is
brought out, as if the deliberate object of
the artist was to repel. He is in fact, a
moralist quite as much as an artist. Yet
Verestchagin is not the entirely uncom-
promising pessimist which his war pictures
of themselves might lead one TO suppose.
He can on occasion, as many examples in
the present exhibition show look upon the
bright as well as the dark side of lfe
show the beauties of peace as well as the
sordid cruelty of war. Indeed looking at
these bright, clever pieces of genre paint
ing, so full of life and color and so in
stinct with artistic feeling, we can imagine
that II destiny had not doomed Verestcha-
gin to acquire fame as a war painter he
would have made a great name as a de-
lineator of human character in its softer
aspects. l.. H. MOORE

NEW PROCESS
Ammonia A Factor in Extract
 ing Copper

At Good Springs. Lincoln county, Nevada, Prof. H. Hirsching, formerly of the Salt Lake Mining Academy, has recently installed su innovation in the way of an extensive plant fer the treatment of copper ores by pro. cess invented and patented by him. self. The plant has . crushing cspa- city of 100 tons daily and teaching capacity of thirty-five tons.
 The plant was constructed by the Risdon Iron Works. of San Frsnicsco. Cal. and consists of 8 cru usber, two sets of rolls, trommels. elevators, convey ors, etc. The motive power com pfises c 100 H. P. boiler and a 60 II. engine. The teaching plant is arranG- ed on c series of terraces and com- prises thirty six .va,s. The solutions pass from top to bottom by gravity, and when the copper has been extract ed, tho solution is pumped back to the storage tanks for rense without hay ing detero,ated.
 The ore, which is chiefly oxide and carbonate of copper in 6 silicous gsAgue, averages IA ger cent copper. l, is crushed dry through fiue screen and subjected to teaching by what is called by Prof. Hirsching his ammonia process. In two hoCrs the copper Is dissolved and subsequently, recovered AS a finely pulverulsnt black oxide Of copper, in which form 1t is marketed; but as the market for this msterial is limited. portion will be melted into bars and cold as metallic cope r. The secret of the process is not public, as the various operations are not fully protected by patents. The ammonia is said to be recovered with practically no loss or deterioration.
 The ore deposits of the region occur at con:ac: ol eruptive rocks with an underlying crystalline for nation. The ores contain gold and email amount of silver addition to tho copper contents.
 An important feature clsimed for this process is that it will treat copper sulphide ores at a cest considerably below that oi smeiting, which, if true, will constitute it an important factor iu the reduction of copper ores gener- slly.-M. < s. Press.
