KEEP SuALLPOK IN CHECK.

New-York's Health Board finds reason To cen
sure several physicians who have been diatory
in reporting cases of smallpox. and 1t again
calls earnestly to those no have not been
vaccinated in recent years to protect themselves
by prompt vaccination from the possibility of
an attack of this disease. The department Is
apparently doing all il "an with its present ap-
preparation TO hold the malady in check Its
provision of facilities for free vaccination is
bountifu and 1t frequently repeats its warn
ings 10 those who may possibly he infected be-
cause they refuse to be noculated. No dispo-
stion in the board to eXaggerate the dangers of
smallpox in New York can be detected. 1t can
have possible object to gain by provoking
supports the board in its assertions that unless
the great body of the citizens will stand by it
and will seek the safeguard of vaccination the
spread of the disease may become menacing.
The possibilities of many new eases are now
more disturbing than they We're a few months
ago New-Yorkers who have been vaccinated
in the last few years fall far short of q ma
jorty of the entire population of our boroughs
People of all classes and ages may be exposed
to contagion. Certain unusual conditions in
the weather or the environment may render
people especially susceptible to infection this
year. Indifference is out of place at the pres
ent time. There is no occasion for panic but
New-Yorl should not ignore the uncomfortable
many places The unprotected will be reckless
in their disregard of the Health Boards sound
advice unless they speedily get vaccnated.

NO CAUSE FOR DIscoURAGEuEyT.

1t is not likely that the Committee of Fifteen
is at all discoura ged over the failure TO secure
n conviction in the ease of Alderman Fleck: GER
tainly there is no good cause for discouro ge-
ment. The public understands the difficulties
under which the committee Is forced TO labor
and ii Is not surprising that the results of some
of the trials brought about by the committee
should prove unsatisfactory. The courts neces-
sarily demand that the specific charge against
a defendant be proved, however great NAV be
the moral certainty of his lawlessness There
seems TO have been conflict of testimony i'm
the case of Alderman Fleck and while there
may he reason TO look with suspicion on some
OF the testimony for the defence such sus-
plcion would require definite support before il
could properly result in the throwing out of
the evidence by the court. The wonderful har-
mony of the policemen who testified for Flecl
will probably not be regarded by all observers
as absolute proof of his innocence and the
tears of Joy which are said TO have run down
the aldermans cheeks as he shook the hands
of the judges who acquitted him will not
awaken sympathetic emotions in all breasts:
but there is no reason TO consider the result of
the trial setback for the committee
The work of the Committee of Fifteen has al
ready proved too valuable to be affected by any
such incident. II IL true that the number of
convictions has not yet been large. and that the

committee yielded to the river and harbor
bill. with the understanding that the Dis
trict should have next Monday instead Of
today.
The debate upon the river and harbor
bill was then resumed.
Mr. Lawrence (Nass), a member of the
committee. protested against the appropri-
atoms in the bill for great national pro-
jects being charged to the states in which
they happened To be located. He cited the
case of Boston harbOr, which received sew

Tended the bill. arguing along the lines fol-

GOV. ALIENS RECEPTION.
Celebration of the Coming of the New
Year at san Juan, Porto Rico.


Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
SAN JUAN, P. R, January L. 1901.
This is the first New Year day celebrated
here since the Inauguration of the civil
government in May last, and Governor and
Mrs. Allen have inaugurated the custom of
holding a midday reception, similar to
the Presidents reception at the White
House. Several days ago notices, in Span
ish and English, were published in the
local papers, stating that following the
custom which had long prevailed in the
United States. Governor and Mrs. Allen
would hold a New Year day reception from
u to o'clock.
The idea proved to be popular one and
the governors reception today was a bril-
liant success. The. large and handsome
reception and drawing rooms of the pal
ace were deliberately and beautifully dec
Grated with profusion of palms and other
tropical plants and flowers. The marine
band from the U.S.S Mayfower was in at
tendance, and rendered popular and pa
triotic airs, both American and Porto
Rican.
Governor and Mrs. Allen were assisted In
receiving by their daughter, the newly
made bride of Lieutenant Logan of the
navy; by Mrs. John r. Garrison the wife
OF the auditor of the island: the secretary
of cate, Judge Hunt, and Mrs. Hunt, and
Mrs. VIM. H. Elliott, wife of the COM
missioner of the interior.
The attendance was large, enthusiastic
and representative. The officers of the
United States naval vessels now in port
the Scorpion, the Mayfiower and the I'm
cas-, were present, as were also the COM
mandant, Capt. Yates Sterling, U.S.N., and
the other naval and marine officers attach
ed to the naval station here. Col. Buch-
anan, the new district commander, and
the army officers on duty here also paid
their respects, as did the heads of the
civil departments and the members of the
Porto Rican legislative assembly, now in
session.
The judges Of the supreme court and al
most all the foreign consuls were present,
and, in addition, hundreds of the leading
citizens of San Juan and vicinity, both
American and Porto Rican, took the OPP
portunity to wish the governor a happy
new year.
During the reception refreshments of all
kinds were served In the spacious state
dining room of the palace, which had been
specially decorated for the occasion
The event was one long to be remem-
bered and Governor and Mrs. Allen are to
be congratulated on the great success of
their first New Year reception in Porto

The Prevention of Malaria.
ONE Correspondence London Standard

The annual parliamentary report on the
measures for improving the sanitary condi-
ton and promoting the agricultural pros
perity of the Roman Campagna shows that
results have been attained in both respects
of an extremely gratifying character. The
success attending the efforts to reduce the
prevalence of malaria by extensive drainage
works is especially noteworthy. While the
rural population of the district is constant
1y increasing, fever becomes more and more
rare The proportion of fever-stricken lands
has, in fact, been reduced from AZ per cent
to . per cent, and the recent experiments
and discoveries as to the causes Of malaria
are expected to lead to the complete BAN
ishment of the evil. Other obstacles, such
as the scarcity of drinking water, have
been overcome with equal success. while
the economic difficulties standing in the
way of the prosperity of this formerly pes
tilential district have been met with such
energy that applica tons for land are being
received from all parts of Italy. The culti-
walton of the region under the new condi-
tions has, in many instances, yielded splen-
dld results, and number Of private indi-
viduals are now investing considerable cap
ital in carrying out further improvements.
