PARLIAMENT IS FAR BEHIND,
Only Routine and Budget LegisIa-
ton Has Been Touched.

NEW YORK, May N.-The Salisbury
government is in very critical position
as regards legislative business, says tho
Tribune's London correspondent. Practl-
cally when the parliament meets after
Whitsuntide holiday there will be only
two months of the session left, and 50
far not a single measure has been seri-
ously proceeded with beyond the demise
Of the crown BILL which may be regard
ed as outside the category of ordinary
legislation. and the budget bill. The rest
of the legislative programm promised in
the kings speech virtually remains I'M
touched. 1t is not surprising therefore,
that rumors continue to circulate as to
the probability Of an autumn session

BRITISH RICH MEN sTINGY
MunificeBce of Andrew Carnegie
Causes Some Odious Comparisons.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The British
newspapers and reviews do not provide
altogether pleasant reading for the Brit
ish -millionaires these days, the
London correspondent of the Tribune
thinks. Ever since the announcement of
Mr. Carnegle's gift to Scotland, men Of
vast wealth in Great Britain have been
vainly called upon to follow in the foot
steps CT those of America Sir Henry
Roscoe, in an article in The Monthly
Review, gives a list of nine American
universities endowed with various large
sums by single individuals, and it has at
tracted a lot of notice. In contrast. It
is pointed out that altogether the Duke
of DeYonshire. as chancellor Of Cam
bridge university, not long ago asked for
$4,000 to revive the work Of that Eng
lish institution, which has been hit SO
hard by the agricultural depression A
good deal less than half the sum required
has yet been obtained

BRoDRIeK rs NOT POPULAR
A Thousand British Officers Have
Resigned Their Commissions.

Resigned Their Commissions.
NEW YORK, May 27.-There is no
doubt, the London correspondent of the
Herald thinks, that Mr.. Brodrick, the Sec
rotary of state of war is not popular
with the British army. Tt is learned from
talk in the military clubs that no less
than 1000 officers have sent in their pa
pers to the war Office.
In military circles it is the only topic
of conversation. Dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed on ali sides None Of these mill
tary men believe Mr.. Brodriek will be
able to realize new army scheme. The
recruiting outlook is very black indeed.

the number OF tubercUIOus persons in
their respective districts and to submit
report 10 me- but I have decided that I
could better obtain the information that
I desire by sending q circular TO every
physician in this State OF course, do
not expect to get answers from them all,
but I am firmly Of the opinion that the
majority of them VIII do all in their pow
er to help me in this work and to make
the statistics to be recorded as reliable
as possible
This census is solely for the purpose
of finding out the extent Of tuberculosis
of the lungs in this State and, secondariIy.
to determine the effect Of those suffering
with the disease and how they got the dis
ease The census should awaken no fear
regarding the liberty OF those having the
disease because neither the segregation
nor the isolation of tubercuIous persons is
in any way connected with this matter.
I hope that such q fear, if il arises, VIII
be quickly dispeIled- And I also hope that
no one VIII Tor one moment think that 1t
may reveal the names of c0nsUmptives-
The physicians VIII not be asked to give
the names Of the sufferers, only the mi
tials of the persons, their ages and a state
meut as to how they got the disease
Some cOnSumptlves are under the care Of
several physicians. The answers of these
physicians VIII probably contain the ini-
tials Of such persons, the age OF the per
sons and a history of the cases, which
facts would be similar. In the papers
from the physicians there might be moth
ing that would tell Us that the patient
was under the care Of any other physician,
but the similarity Of initials age and his
tory would lead to the inference that the
letters were about the same persons, and
the reports would be recorded as reIat-
ing to only one person The conclusions
deduced from the answers would in the
majority Of cases. be correct The IIkeIi-
hood Of there being three persons having
the same age, the same initials. and be-
ing in the same locality would be some
thing unusual
At present we do not know whether
there are as many cOnsumptives in this
Sumed that the number Of cases IS less but
! don't think they ar" less Our opinions
about the number of cOuSumptiyes in the
state are little more than COnJeCtureS-
From the number of deaths q year, and
from an idea that better sanitation and
better treatment afforded tubercuIous per
SONS have resulted in more persons being
cured than formerly, we try to determine
the number Of COuSumpuVeS IN the State.
The State care OF CO1Sumptives Is a
mOmentUUS question In dealing with the
insane the State knows almost the exact
number Cf persons likely to be placed un-
der it's care. Few persons would think Of
keeping insane relatives or friends at their
homes They either send them to the

where such parsons are received and
treated. BY the records of these hospitals
We know how many Iuuatics there are in
the state The 1dea should be borne in
mind that if the question Of State care for
the insane IS one that is very important
how much more important is the subject
OF State care for consUmptiTes. for we
know that the number of conservatives
row Is far greater than the number of
insane persons in the State For the
State If il Is to care for some of the con
SumptiveS within its limits, viii ultimate
y be called upon TO care for nearly all
the ConsEmptives within its borders At
present the State is planning the erection
OF sanltaTium for the care of cOcsu.np-
tives- This hospital is to contain about
30 beds and to cost about $150, ,O01. Within
the next ten years 1t may be necessary
for the State to build hospitals containing
at least 10,tzi0 beds for cousUmptives
The cost Of the census about to be tax
