BUBONIC PLAGUE.
The Disease Makes It's Appearance in
Rio Janeiro.

Washington, January 1.-THE bubonic
plague has made Its appearance at Rio
Janeiro, as is shown by the following cable
gram received here tonight by Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman, of the marine hospital SER
vice:
"Rio de Janeiro January n.-There has
been one death of plague at Rio Janeire.
This diagnosis confirmed by meteorological
examination. Assistant Surgeon Carson
has arrived en- route to Santos.
(Signed) "HEVELBURG,
''Acting Assistant Surgeon"
Some weeks ago cases of the plague were
said to exist at Santos, and it would not
be surprising to the officials here if later
developments show that the case at Rio
Janeiro is traceable to Santos. 1t was from
Santos that the ship Taylor with & cargo of
coffee arrived at New York some time ago
and was refused permission to land. Prompt
measures will be taken by the marine hos
pital service to prevent the introduction of
the disease into the ports of the United
States by means of any vessels that may
leave the Brazilian ports.

Emperor's Remarks citing Attention

Berlin, January 1-Emperor William s
remarks when receiving the reotors of the
technical schools the other day-especially
his statement that the phenomenon of So
cial democracy were transitory-are at
tracing much discussion in the press. Some
OF the conservative organs refuse to be-
lieve that his majesty was correctly re-
ported. The Kreus Zeitung says: I'VE can
not deny that the emperor's words conflict
with his former utterances, and we must
admit that further legislative action against
the socialists is inexpedient. since it would
result in a renewed defeat of the govern
fnent."

Session Under New Rule.

Washington, March 9.-The first day
pension session of the House provided for
under the new rule adopted yesterday,
proved a great success. There was COM
paratively little friction and ninety-seven
bills were favorably acted upon in Com
mittee of the Whole, and subsequently
passed by the House.
The only incident was brisk exchange
between Mr. Loud of California and Mr.
Subway of New Hampshire upon the
general policy of special pension legisla-
lion, in which the former attacked and
the latter defended the system.
When it was moved that the House go
into Committee of the Whole to consider
private pension bills, MIR. Talbert of South

made the point of no quorum. The Speak
er was unable to count more than 116
members present, and the doors were
closed and a call of the House ordered
The presence of 2lS members resulted and
the committee began It's proceedings.
Mr.. Loud in his remarks asserted that
IS per cent, of the special bills passed
by Congress should never have been ia
vorably considered All of them had been
rejected by the pension office. OF the mil
lion and a quarter old soldiers and widows
of old soldiers who survived the war, al
most one million were on the pension
rolls. Congress was still legisating for
cases arising out Of the Revolutionary
war. Mr.. Loud said he had never objected
TO meritorious case.
Mr.. Sulloway of New Hampshire, chair
man of the Committee on Invalid Pen
sions, replied to Mr.. Loud. He said he
gloried in the fact that his country paid
more than any other country for the care
of those who defended its flag. While a
single old soldier was hungry and cold
his body wrecked with physical pain and
MS mind with mental agony he said he
prayed to. God that the pension roll would
Increase.
At 4:50 p. m. the House adjourned
