Twenty cases OF smallpox to July at
Cape Nome, and asking for medical Of
ficers and supplies.
The telegram liz dated Cape Nome,
July Q. and was sent to Port Townsend,
the nearest telegraph station. Lieut..
4 Jarvis was sent to Cape Nome az the
special representative OF the treasury
department. He does hot say whether
these cases have appeared in the crowd
ed camps Of Cape Nome or on chip
\ board. Two vessels that started for
Cape Nome recently found smallpox on
board shortly after leaving Dutch Har-
4 Dor, and it is possible that the CAGES
spoken Of are on board these vessels, al
tho there are many chances that the
disease has broken out ashore. The
treasury department has ordered 1000
vaccine points sent to Cape Nome. and
a number Of physicians also have gone
there.

Democrats and the Army min.

A caucus of House Democrats has been
called for this afternoon to take into con-
sideration the Root Army Reorganization
be we cannot say. but We hope that It may
be something sensible. What with work
ing majority and the Reed rules to for
tify them, the Republicans are entirely
capable of forcing through in short order
any measure upon which they can agree
among themselves. A large. permanent
standing army is opposed to Democratic
principles and traditions. but the people
declared for one at the polls last month,
and we assume il to be good Democratic
doctrine that they are entitled to what
they call for.
Many members of the opposition, it is
said. favor Offering measure extending
for term of years the present crganiza-
ton of the army. as substitute for the
bill which will be reported by the Military
Committee. Whether this course shall be
adopted or not is matter of small mo-
ment. We are unable to see where the
Democrats have the smallest chance to
defeat or even obstruct the Adminis.ra-
ton design.
Since it is certain that an army reor-
ganization bill will become law at the
present session. it might be patriotic and
useful IL Democrats would address them
selves to some features of the bill which
possibly might be amended to advantage.
The political pull of the old Chinese staff
organization has already resulted in over

RUssIA's WORK IN CHINA.
A New Railway to Connect the Two
Countries Projected.

tf rom the SCIENTIFIC Americana
The Russian Government ir China is
contemplating the construction of another
railway in China. The course of the new
line as at present projected will run from
Sanarkand TO Haliow by way of Chod-
schen6. Mdrtigan, and through one OF the
Pamirs. Should this route be ultimately
followed it will involve the boring of q
tunnel through the Koshgor Mountains
Koshgor is the centre OF the transit trade
between Russian central Asia and east
Turkestan. and the new overland route
will either run to Chatan. thence to Tschor-
tschen and Tschorjolyk at the Lobnor
Lake. or 1t will traverse the Tarim Valley
From the Lobnor Lake the line will
stretch through one Of the passes in the
Allyn Mountains to the Tsoidam Plateau.
thence along the Semenow Mountains
through the Hoangho Valley to Lau-
tschow. This town is the capital OF the
province of Kamsu. which possesses a
population of 100000 persons, so that
the railroad will serve a very thckly pop
ulated country. After leaving Lautschow
the railway will extend to the province OF
Shensi and thence through the Hankiang
River Valley to Hankow. The railway, II
constructed on these projections. will prove
of immense service to Russia since 1t will
enable the products of Russian central
Asia to be carried and marketed at the
great centre Of Chinese trade. Then. again.
Hankow Is in steamer connection with the
rich province of Szchuan, which boasts a
population of 46 000, 900.

IA Private Hospital, Suffering
From Nervous Prostitution.


NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-Georgie Cayvan.
once popular actress. is in a private
hospital suffering from nervous prostra-
tion in such acute form that little hope
for her restoration to health is enter
tanned by her physicians. Six weeks ago
she was sent to Sanford Hall, in Flushing,
when it was decided that recovery in her
own home was out Of the question. Since
she was member OF the Lyceum Theatre
Company Miss Cayvan has lived at 351
West 122d Street. 1t was there that she
was taken so ill last summer as to make
1t necessary for her sister to take up her
residence with her.
Miss Cayvan's collapse has been phys
ical as well as mental, and she is now
compelled to live in such seclusion that
her intimate friends are kept from her
room. She has grown very thin. At times
she rallies from her melancholy. but these

means by which she could be treated could
not be found in a home. and six weeks ago
she was secretly removed to the sani-
tarium at Flushing.
The cause of her present illness is be-
licved to be her failure to recover COM
pletely from an operation performed five
years ago. She was compelled after that
to retire from the stage for year. When
she resumed her professional work the

sion of Congress Pacific Mail took an

of the agreement ars known. and il is
also evident that the President is de err

Mr.. McKinley's avowed h sitancy about

based so largely upon the concentration
of wealth now in progress, would show a
firmer tone than they have exhibited for
a week. The semi official announcement
sent out from Washington last night that
Mr.. Mckinley had written paragraph
against the trusts but possibly would not
insert it in his message is expected to
have the desired effect upon the stock
market today, and il is conceded that il
the gentlemen who profited by Mr. Han
mas Pacific Mail tip before the election
are wise, they will not let this opportuni-
ty pass to add materially to their bank
accounts.
In point of fact, it is alleged that heavy
buying orders were placed late Saturday
afternoon by the same group of favored
Republican leaders as got in on the
ground floor in the recent Pacific Mail
deal. Whether they knew that the Pfcsi-
dent was hesitating about inserting the
antitrust paragraph in his message is
not known. On the other hand. it is con
tended that the announcement OF Mr.. Me-
kinley's hesitancy on the trust question
was wholly unwarranted and that IL was
made solely for the purpose of strength
ening the bull side of the market.
AT any rate, the foregoing is n fair
outline of the character of talk ana COS
sip yesterday among legislators. lobby
lists. and others interested in the work
of the session of Congress that begins to-
day. For the first time in more than
twenty years surmise and speculation as
