men and children, vaccinated DIR.
Chaplin states that at the time OF ths
vaccination OF the people in the house
when Santiago was found to be suffer-
ing from smallpox, Da Costa was ths
only man who was not vaccinated, he
strenuously refusing to submit to the
operation, saying that he had already
been vaccinated, but he did not say
how many years before.
DR.. Chaplin scouts the idea that Da
Costa contracted the disease from San
tiago and that the poison has been la
tent i'm his system since that time, for
he declares such a thing would be inn
possible. He rather inclines to the be-
lief that some place in the house or
some article OF wearing apparel or fur
niture escaped fumigation after Santi-
ago was taken to Filed's Point, and
that Da Costa caught the disease from
that source. This view is also enter
tanned by other physicians, particularly
as there Is no knowledge of any sick
persons having visited the house.
The entire premises will be fumigated
again at once. and the job will be done
most thoroughly, so that there may be
no danger I'm the future. While the In
mates of the house will not be isolated
by a quarantine, a close watch will be
kept upon them in order to Immediately
detect any symptoms of other cases.
DR.. Chaplin does not anticipate any se-
rious results from Da Costa's case, as
the attack is. as already stated, i'm very
mild form.

smallpox, although I'm very mild form,
much milder. in fact, than that of SAN
tiago.
a little later DR.. Gardiner Il. Swarts
went to the house and examined the pa
tient and his diagnosis of the disease
was similar to that of DR.. Chaplin. The
sick man is John Da Costa, a Western
Islander. who has charge OF the house.

for sailors and others, no board being
furnished, but rooms are let aud each

was learned. steps were taken TO con-

at their hall, the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, that all molders i'm Provi-
dtnce and vicinity. through the Iron
Molders' union. notify the foundry pro-
prietors that on and after May /, 1899
the minimum days wage shall be not
less than s2.75 per day. and piece WORK
shall be entirely abolished.
And all molders employed shall be
members of the Iron Molders' union.
In presenting this request we believe
that we have suffered much from low
wages during the past, and by placing
all foundrymen on the above basis, no
one firm viii have an advantage over
his competitor and will not be the
cause OF placing any undue hardship
upon any firm engaged in the foundry
business.
We earnestly pray that our PROPOSE
tion will meet with your favor. and
Kindly ask for an answer not later than
April 2S. 1899.
Very truly yours,
(Signed). JAMES II. o'NEIL.
(Signed. Cor. Secretary.
President.
The foundry proprietors have nothing
TO say for the present. and IL is not
known what action they will take dur
ing the next few days. Some of them
consider thai @the clause demanding
that all molders employed shall be
members OF the union is altogether too
arbitrary. The minimum wages now
paid to the molders is S225. the aver
age $3.50, and the maximum runs as
high as $3.50 per day.
At the headquarters OF the union
nothing further could be ascertained
beyond the fact that the foundrymen
had been notified, and now their reply
would be awaited.
