one delegates. representing twelve States,
were present at the opening session of the
National Assembly, League of American
Wheelmen. here to-day. The national pres
ident, II. S. Earle. of Detroit, presided.
The morning session was taken up entirely
with the presentation of reports. In his
report President Earle referred TO the
downward slide of the membership of the
l.. A. w. He advocated the adoption of
divisions and the substitution of local or
ganization similar to that tried with sue
cess at New Bedford as the only safeguard
for the organization, the existence of which
is lying in the balance. Secretary Bas-
sett, of Boston, says the affairs of the l..
a. w. are in a condition for careful con-
sideratiOn and wise action. He compared
membership figures Of a year ago with
membership had decreased from 24.32S to
1889. Various committee reports were SUBJ
mitted and accepted
Between the sessions there was consider
able caucusing by the New York delegates
for the office Of secretary and treasurer
Abbott Bassett, of Boston, formerly sec
rotary, was elected secretary and treasurer.
The other officers elected were: President
w. A. Howell. Rockville, Conn: first vice
president, NARROW Belson. jr., New York
second vice president, II. w. Perkins Prov
idence, r. l.: auditor, Clarence w Small
of Portland, Me. The question of cutting
down the number OF divisions and depend
ing more on local consulates created consid-
cradle discussion. The matter was laid on
the table, however, after which the con-
vention adjourned.
This evening a banquet was held in the
City Hall at o'clock. The newly elected
officers made addresses and Highway Com
missioner Macdonald also spoke.

every railroad entering Chicago, from the
president to the messenger boy, will be
vaccinated between now and Monday or
lose his position. Every car which ar
rives in the city from every direction will
be subjected to fumigation for six hours,
under the direction of the Health Depart
ment OF the city, before other passengers
are allowed to enter it. These precautions
have been agreed upon at meeting of the
general managers of all the railroads en-
tering Chicago The Chicago & Alton Rail-
road and the Illinois Central began to put
them into effect to-day. The other roads
will begin tomorrow. All will continue the
measures until the smallpox epidemic,
which is ravaging the Northwest and the
Mississippi valley States, shall be stamped
out.

dition of the plague in Wisconsin, Michi-

had spread as far south as Mississippi and
Alabama.

giving them full authority to use whatever
measures they deemed best.
The surgeons of the roads and their as
sistants met and decided by written agree
ment upon the stringent action outlined

PRINCE AND PRESS.
Germany Looks with Alarm Upon
American Newspapers.

Berlin Letter in New York Commercial Ad-
vertiser.
AS was to have been expected, the visit
of Prince Henry arouses an ever increasing
interest. The great significance of this
visit, first limited at and later prophesied
as probable is now the universal topic,
and the results expected to accrue to Ger
many thereby are openly discussed in the
press. The daily press has given consider
able space to a communication from Rome
purporting TO give an interview with the
American ambassador at the Quirinal, him
self of German extraction, having been de-
scended from an Osnabruck family, one of
whom, an officer Of the Royal Hussars, died
the heroS death on the field or Waterloo.
In this interview the ambassador Is repre-
scented saying that Prince Henry's visit
is IAN epoch making event, and that
nothing could have been better calculated
to show America that Germany has no ul-
terror designs either as respecting the Mon
roe doctrine or otherwise than this visit
of the imperial brother. He also referred
to the yellow press, expressing the be-
lief that even these jingOristic opponents
of ultra-Americanism will eventually come
to see that their alarmistic news concern
ing the designs of Germany are not
founded in fact.
The above reference of the American am
bassador regarding the yellow press
comes particularly opportune, for, is
| well known, the freedom of the American
| press especially as regards crowned heads,
| has become proverbial. When one con-
! siders the license which is given TO the
| American press to discuss people high and
| low and measures of the highest authority
| in the land with the restrictions imposed
| on the German press, with it's everlasting
| string of prosecutions for leSe ma jesty, il
| is no wonder that the first news of the
| great press banquet sent shiver over the
| more conservative people who feared that
! Prince Henry might thereby be made mere
| ly a subject for journalistic exploitation
| But reflection is producing a different opin-
| ion; ii is perceived that the>old saying The
! man whom / do not like is the man whom
l do not know applies in this case. and
| that the presence of Prince Henry at a
| banquet given by the representative press
] of the United States will do more toSynake
| the brother of the Kaiser and the gooS in
| tentions of the Kaiser and his government
| known to the American people than any
| thing else. 1t will also serve the valuable
| purpose of showing to the military and
| diplomatic gentlemen who shall accompany
| Prince Henry that the press of the United
| States is really what it purports to be,
! namely a tremendous power in the land,
| and perhaps decisive factor in the de-
! cision of great national and international
| questions, and that il does not exist mere
| ly for the purpose of fostering the plans
| and ambitions of diplomats and military
| leaders, as is often true in Germany
