when he senate adjourned this after-
noon tina t it should be until Monday. AT
1885 the senate Went into executive
session.
The senate was in executive session
for more than four hours yesterday, the
entire time being devoted to the dis
icussion by Senator Morgan of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty for the abrogation of
the portion of The Clayton Buiwer
treaty which relates to the Nicaragua
canal. The senator made 1t very PLAIN
in the course of his remarks that While
he was not opposed to the pending
treaty in almost any form, his principal
If not his only concern in that connec-'
tion is for the passage of the canal bill,
and he allowed il to be very broadly un-
derstood that he had engaged in the
treaty discussion because of his convic-5
ton that there We're a majority of sena-
tors who would insist upon action upon
the treaty as a condition precedent to
the passage of the canal bill. He inti-
mated privately to other senators, how
ever that he would not consent to the
fixing of a time for vote upon the
treaty until there also could be time.
fixed for like action upon the Nicaragua
canal bill.
Discussing the question of the fortiii-
cationso of the canal, Senator Morgan ar
gued strenuously against It, both as in
expedient and unnecessary He con-
tended that Great Britain was not the
only power whose interests would be
affected by n provision for fortification
and said that Nicaragua and Costa Rica
had right to be considered in that
connection. He admitted, however. that
he had no doubt that II the United
States should proceed with the construc-
tion of the canal without first taking.
steps to secure the neutrality of the ca
nal Great Britain would be grevously
offended, and that he thought 1t not inl-
possible that the offense would be con-
sidered sufficiently grave to lead to
hostilities between the two countries.
But he continued. 81 should not be

In general. II Is stated. and the line Of
ficers are thus held responsible to soma
extent for the unsanitary condition

suggests that greater authority be
given the medical officers IN questions
relating to the hygiene of camps The
board condemns in general the method
OF disposing of excretions OF the human
body and fecal matter, holding that the
lack Of proper facilities In this respect
was in a large measure responsible for
the prevalence of fever in the camps.
Infected water is found to be an unim-
portant factor in the spread of ty-
lphoid. At Chickamauga, JackksonyiIie
and Camps Meade and Alger the con-
taminated water Is stated to have
played but small part in spreading

recommended. Various recommenda-
tions are suggestedsby the board for the
prevention OF spread os typhoid and the
betterment Of the sanitation of camps.
Malaria was not a prevalent disease
among the camps during the war. Al
together about one-fifth of the soldiers
in the national encampment, developed
typhoid. about half the cases being cor
rectly dia gnosed by the army surgeons.
The death rate was 7.61.

Sugar.

Every year fewer pound for pound pre-
serves are made. Why? Well. in old
days sugar was not as plenty and us
cheap as it is now. 1t was used more us
food and was more crayed by the appe-
tite. Nowadays we use sugar in abrn-
dance and do not need preserves so much.
They don't taste as good as they used
to- because sugar is no longer luxury.
We don't like things as sweet as We used
to because of sort of digestive recoi
from so much sweetness. Therefore we
may allow a quarter of a pound of sugar
to a pound OF fruit for canning and for
preserves not over threcfourths OF u
pound. while marmaIadcs and jams will
do with the same proportion. Only jel-
lies require the pound to pint rule to
give the proper consistency.
