DEATHS FROM GRIP,
Unusually Early Appearance of the
Disease in Serious Form.

Unusually Early Appearance of the
Disease in Serious Form.
In the weekly statement of deaths and
health conditions in the District issued from
the health office today no less than three
deaths during the seven days covered by
the report are attributed to grip, the disease
which annually wreaks much havoc in all
American cities since Its Introduction into
this country several years ago.
The appearance of grip in fatal form this
early in the winter is entirely unusual for
Washington, and 1t is stated at the health
office that generally the first death from
the disease to occur is reported in January
1t will be impossible to tell to Just what
extent the disease has taken hold of the
capital until the report for the current week
is made up. The changeable weather for
several weeks past brought about a preya-
lence OF bad colds and in a great many in
stances grip has followed. The health au-
thorities declare that the early appearance
of the disease should result in every one
taking all possible precautions against 1t.
The deaths in the District during the
week ended on Saturday last numbered 1O6
as against 1O7 in the corresponding week of
last year, and 1O5 in the week previous. OF
the decedents IS were white, representing
death rate Of 14.8 per thousand, and 81
colored, death rate 306. For all the deaths
the rate was 1913 per thousand of all the
population. From affections Of the brain
there was an increase in the mortality as
compared with the previous week from to
10; of heart diseases from to 8, and kid
ney ailments, from to 8. There was de-
crease in deaths from consumption from IT
to IA. and those among children under five
years old, from % to 10, and among those
under one year Of age, from % to %. There
was one fatal case of typhoid fever, OF
diphtheria and from grip. There were
deaths from violence, / being a case Of
suicide by drowning and 1 accidental inha-
lation of Illuminating gas.
At the close of the last report there were
83 cases of diphtheria in quarantine In %
premises. During the week 8 new cases oc-
CURED and Is were discharged, leaving 27
cases under treatment in q premises.
OF scarlet fever there were 57-cases in
quarantine in 81 premises at the close Of
last report. During the week II new cases
were reported and were discharged leav-
ing 81 cases, with warning cards in 43
premises.
The mean weather conditions prevalent
during the week were: Temperature of the
atmosphere, 81 degrees; relative humidity,
63, and barometer. 29.90. There was a rain
fall OF LIS inches, with northwesterly winds
averaging II miles per hour. The maximum
OF the thermometer was 81 degrees on the
oath, and minimum, % degrees on the 2Sth.

YOUNG PRISONERS.
Two Boys Charged by Police With
SeriOua O6euae.

Two Boys Charged by Police With
Serious Onense.
William Lee and William Gray, colored
nine and seventeen years old, respectively,
are locked up at The second precinct sta
ton on charges, Of larceny. and Precinct
Detective Evans, who arrested them, is in
vestigating charge, of housebreaking in
connection herewith. d, The boys admit
their guilt in tie larceny cases, and the
younger of them has made clean breast
of the case involving the more serious
charge. Both boys live in Green's court,
and have been companions for some time,
although one Is much older than the other.
Lee was arrested for the theft of a bicycle
belonging to DE-. Lewis Of 1911 14th street
northwest. while tha charge against Gray
is that he stole an lovercoat from Louis
Leubornisky. The wheel and coat have
been recovered,,s Lee admits participation
in the robbery ct the store Of the Hartford
Rubber Works Company, No. lib 14th
street northwest. Two dozen tires, worth
about $50, were stolen. The youthful prIs-
oner says he went to the store with other
boys and that he was lowered through the
skylight by means of a clothes line In
this way he got the tires and turned them
over to his companions. Other arrests will
probably be made IN connection with the
case.

COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE.
Editors Applaud and Criticise the
DOcun1enf.

Document.
The message which President Roosevelt
transmitted to Congress yesterday is dis
cussed in all American and in many for
eign newspapers issued today. The literary
style of the message is universally COM
mended. There Is a difference Of opinion
concerning the Presidents logic and his
sense Of proportion, it being the judgment
of some editors that some subjects were
treated too fully and others too briefly. So
far, the message would appear to have es-
capped fierce assault The radical antitrust
newspapers complain that the President
has dealt too temperately with that impor-
tant subject. Some Of those papers which
would carry to fruition the opinions Of Will
liam Mckinley on the tariff and interna-
tional trade fear that Mr.. Roosevelt was
not sufficiently vigorous in his presentation
OF the reciprocity question. His recommen-
dations concerning immigration, anarchy
and the army and navy are indorsed with
but occasional dissent.
The New York Tribune says: 1T is not
a negative message, but bristles with rec
concentrations Of positive and far-reach-
Ing character, which nevertheless are es-
sentially conservative in the true sense of
that often misapplied word"
In the opinion of the New York Herald
the President ''draweth out the thread Of
argument, and, while he makes a few di-
rect recommendations, it is in the main a
let well enough alone document
According to the New York Times "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has not only communicated
to Congress and the country much infor-
nation about public business, but he has
done 1t with directness and vigor of ex-
preston that make the reading Of his mes
sage not labor but pleasure"
The New York Journal declares that "the
message Is packed with meat"
THE Presidents program is Of the first
magnitude" says the Philadelphia Press
and rs courageously expressed, brilliantly
phrased and earnestly presented"
The Philadelphia Inquirer says: "It is
not exactly the kind Of message that it was
natural to expect from a man Of Mr. Roose-
velt's temperament but perhaps it is none
the worse for that"
The Philadelphia Times thus delivers its
opinion: President Roosevelt's first an
nual message is the most unconventional
the most individual that we have had since
some OF the messages Of President Cleve-
land"
THE message is thoroughly American" is
the comment Of the Philadelphia Ledger
The Philadelphia North American con-
ceives that TT is the message of a man
who means to be the directing head of the
government, not purveyor Of pap for
politicians
The Philadelphia Record says that the
message is able, but diffuse.

He will find many good men on the force,
more perhaps than the public believes to-
day. The difficulty with the police of New
York after a Tammany regime has been
ended Is that the honest men are smirched
ones If under Tammany rule a captain
shows disposition to be thorough in the
enforcement of the law, without consulting
the protection lists, he Is forthwith trans
ferred to precinct where he cannot block
the game, or he is given perempt0ry orders
by the underground circuit that arrests
don't 60 unless the law-breakers have
failed to put up their fees. Men on the
beats are held to the same restriction, and
If the disclosures of the Lexow and Mazet
inquiries and of the raids conducted by the
Society for the Prevention Of Vice are Ie-
liable, 1t is practically impossible for an
honest policeman to hold his place on the
force under Tammany rule and to do his
full duty without mourning the severe dis
pleasure Of his superlors, involving heavy
fines. The first step in the reformation of
this great agency will doubtless be to dis.
miss or retire the men who have stood In
past years for the Tammany graft" Then
will come the Incubation of new prin-
ciples In the government Of the force the
cutting of the telephone wires leading from
headquarters into the pool rooms and dis
orderly houses and the issuance Of positive
orders that the law-breakers are to be ar
rested whenever and wherever caught. Mr..
Low has placed in the custody of Col ,ncl
partridge large share of the responsibility
for the success Of the reform movement.

The Minority Leadership.

The minority in Congress will be very
capably led. Mr.. Richardson in the House
and MIR. Jones Of Arkansas in the Senate
are both, to use Mr.. Giadstone's phrase,
old parliamentary hands, familiar with the
rules and with their associates, and very
alert men of affairs. Both are democrats
in the best accepted sense of the world.
Both supported MIR. Bryan for President
The one presided over the Kansas City
convention. and the other managed both of
Mr.. Bryan's campaigns. And yet their re-
lations with those democrats who differ
with them on the money question have
remained pleasant. There is no good rea-
son why both should not command the loyal
support of all their party associates in the
session that is about to open.
These two men will meet the emergency
in the matter of the tariff particularly we'll
On that question they are in accord with
the democracy's best fighting traditions
They are for a low tariff all along the line
That of course is not obtainable, but in the
discussion of the tariff subject, which Is
Inevitable and desirable, they will keep the
true democratic standard we'll advanced.
Mr.. Jones, it may be recalled, was
member of the trio whose management of
the Wilson tariff bill in the Senate of the
MY ~Liiiu SOuSIeSS cOINmanQtQ SO
attention. Mr.. Harris of Tennessee and
Mr.. Vest were his associates Mr. Harris
Is dead. and while Mr.. Vest is in much
better health than for several years past
he is hardly robust enough to repeat his
vigorous performances of that day, when
he was constantly on his feet in the most
exciting hours of the running debates This
leaves Mr.. Jones the available man for
his party at this time in that line in what
ever may be necessary to keep the party's
record straight.
1t Is but fair also to state that the mu-
tilation of the Wilson bill after 1t reached
the Senate was not the work of Mr.. Jones,
Mr.. Vest, or Mr.. Harris. They were held
up along with the other low tariff mem
bers Of that body by Mr.. German and his
eorporals guard of protection democrats
Any changes strictly Of their making in
the bill would have been in consonance
with the platform upon which the victory
of 1892 had been achieved But the demo-
Gratis had but a bare majority in the Sem
ate, and when Mr.. German insisted on pro-
lection duties the choice was between yield
ing to him or abandoning the bill
The forte of both Mr.. Jones and Mr..
Richardson is readiness In debate Neither
concerns himself with set speeches, or with
purely dress parade proceedings of any
kind. But both are men of action familiar
with parliamentary law and usage, and
watchful to the last degree.

The Case of Cuba.

General Wood. as was to be expected. de-
nles the interview cabled here from Ha-
yana In which he was made to urge the
prompt annexation Of Cuba by the United
States as the only solution of the Cuban
question. 1t was put out, he declares. for
election purposes. These are General
Woods views:
cot course there are number of people
in Cuba who desire annexation, but doubt
the possibility of securing a canvass of
opinion on the question. The people of
Cuba wish to see their flag floating over
MORO Castle, even II 1t were only for a
week"
This accords with what Is natural In the
premises. However much some people may
ridicule the Cubans and laugh at their no.
lions and aspirations. the aim of the reyo-
iutionists was Independence. Call it bau-
Bile. a dream, what you please. the fact
itself is to be reckoned with. And 1t is I'M
doubleday true. as General Wood asserts,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1901-11-30

that II the Cuban flag fiies over MORO Cas-
tie but a week 1t will rejoice the hearts OF
the Cubans to see It there. He might have
added, too, that 1t viii make them all the
better American citizens II the Stars and
Stripes shall afterwards replace 1t.
But the question Of the hour Is reciproci-
ty with Cuba Cuba desires 1t and we de-
sire 1t. But upon what terms? To what
extent can we afford to lower the figures
on sugar and tobacco, and what shall We
get in return? And with whom shall we
treat il the matter is pressed Immediately?
With ourselves as trustee for Cuba? There
is no other authority in Cuba today. A Gu
ban government is in process of formation,
but 1t does not as yet exist and It's COM
plexion when completed Is now a problem.
1t may be off1cered by very warm friends
of the United States and 1t may not, If
terms of reciprocity are now made, Is there
assurance that they will be ratified by the
Cuban government when formed? Or may
the whole matter be reopened at that time
and new terms proposed?
The era Of business pure and simple with
Cuba has opened. The prosperity of the
island Is earnestly desired In the United
States. and We well understand how much
1t Is In our power to contribute to that.
But 1t is not to be bestowed as boon. 1t
Is to be deserved upon the basis of a. BUSH
ness arrangement. We need what Cuba
has to sell. and she needs many of the
things that we have to sell. 1t Is by no
means case Of beggar and almoner, with
Cuba In the former and the United States
In the latter role.
Nor does there appear good ground, as
some seem to find. for charging the Gu
bans with ingratitude. They are only ask
Ing for what they want, and that is not
reprehensibie either in a people or an in
dividual. Let both sides look at the mat
ter in the light of business, and without
reproaches on either side.
