TYPHOID OUTBREAK
RECALLS OLD TIMES

smallpox had been practically stamped
out. OF the cases reported from October
1872. fully SO per cent were fatal. Sixty
seven per cent lived in the southern part
of the city. /.
During the civil war smallpox ragged
in the city. The disease was introduced
by the soldiers. and there was a great
deal of sickness throughout the Sec
tion. Very little attention was paid to
it. There were other things to attend to
in those days. and only the old citizens
remember the fact that the plague
had tight hold of Washington in those
days.
In 1853. there was another epidemic
of smallpox in the city. and another in
1893, when there were but few cases.
In 1895 the first and only case of yellow
fever in Washington was discovered in
one of the local hotels.
Washington is now one of the health
lest cities in the country. There were
367 cases of typhoid fever yesterday, and
DR.. Woodward, the Health officer of the
District. declares that the disease is now
on tie decline.

REPRESENTATIVE SMITH
FIGHTING FOR SENATE
Candidate to Succeed Late
Mr.. Mcmillan.
Defeated for House, Tries for Seat in
Upper Body of Congress-Chances
Said to Be Good.

Representative Henry C. Smith of
Michigan is a candidate for the Senate,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Mcmillan. He came to Wash
ington yesterday, and so announced HIM
self, although the fact of his candidacy
has been known to his friends in Michi-
gan for some time. Mr.. Smith is serv-
ing his second term in the House, and
is one of the most popular members On
the Republican side. He was. however,
defeated months ago for denomination.
He was one of the beet sugar insur-
gents who revolted from the House lead
ership. and fought against Cuban reci-
procity.. With number of others of
the Michigan delegation he was defeated
for denomination despite this fact
Now that Mr.. w. C. Mcmillan has
withdrawn from the race because he
wishes to win on his own merits, and
not as the son of his father. Mr.. Smiths
friends believe he has good chance
OF reaching tine upper house Of Congress
Others in Fight.
The principal fight is between D. NJ.
Ferry. of Detroit. and Gen. Russell A.
Alger. ex-Secretary of War. both of
them anxious to come to the Senate.
Governor Bliss is not disposed to make
an appointment to fill the vacancy, but
proposes to leave the matter to the
Legislature when 1t meets. The only
contingency which. 1t is said, will cause
the governor to take UP the matter will
be the election of Democratic Leg
islature. This is, however, hardly with
in the range of possibilities under pres
ent conditions in Michigan.
Three Years to Serve.
The successful candidate will have
three years of the unexpired term Of
the late Senator Mcmillan to serve.
Mr.. Smith states that the question of
Cuban reciprocity against which the
Michigan delegation protested with
great vigor during the last session of
Congress is not attracting much atten-
tion in the State thus far in the cam
paign. He is confident that the Re-
publicans will send solid delegation of
twelve to the Fifty-eighth Congress.

RECEPTION ASKED FOR
RETURNED RIFLBMEN
Fellow Guardsmen Plan to
Celebrate Victories.
District Won Twelve First Prizes,
More Than Any State Repre-
sented at Sea Girt.

There is movement on foot to give
from Sea Girt, n. j., reception as a
reward for victories at the big shoot
ing tournament. Gen. George H. Har-
ries has not yet given his sanction to
such an affair. but other National
Guard officers who have been seen are
much in favor of arranging something
to show the appreciation of the cfti-
zens of the National Capital of the
work of their marksmen.
1t develops in figuring up the results
that the men from the National Capital
carried away over half the prizes which
were hung up for the meet. Major James
E. Bell, the inspector general of rifle
practice, who was captain of the bri-
gade team, is we'll satisfied with the
showing of the men, and others who
have looked the situation over are we'll
aware that it is no easy task to win
such victories from the crack rifiemen
Of the United States, including those of
the regular army and Marine Corps as
we'll as the National Guardmen.
While much disappointment was felt
that the brigade team failed to come out
victorious in either the Hilton Trophy
match or the Interstate Trophy match,
the two big contests of the meet. the
success of the marksmen in the individ-
ual matches ard in ether contests TENDS
to even up matters.
Get an Even Dozen Prizes.
An even dozen first prizes were carried
off by the District and any number Of
second and third prizes fall to their lot.
Major James R. Bell won the Inspec-
tors match; Company A, Sixth Battal-
ion, the Company match; the Second
Regiment, the Regimental Skirmish
match; Private George E. Cook, the
Presidents match; Capt. Sheridan Fer
rec, the Members match: Private Wall
ter S. Cash, the All-Comers match;
Private R. l.. Pile, the New Jersey State
match; Private Walter S. Cash, the
Consolation match: Lieut.. w. w. Cook
son, the Spencer match; Private Wal
ter S. Cash, the Reading match; Private
George E. Cook. the disappearing tar
get revolver match, and Private George
L. Cook the revolver match.
Cook Secured Three Firsts.
1t will be seen that Private George
E. Cook carried off three first prizes il
the Individual matches, including the
President match. which designates
him the champion military rifleman OF
the United States.
Private Walter S. Cash, of Company A.
Sixth Battalion. the veteran shot. who
was a member of the first rifle team
which went out from the District. but
failed to secure a place, on the brigade
team this year, also won three first
prizes, while most of the other rifiemen
who went out from the District secured
one or more prizes.
State Teams Far Behind.
In comparison with the. winnings OF
he District boys the cracks from
,ther States are far behind. New York
won the Hilton Trophy match. but, in
,luding this, the Empire State men have
,ut five first prizes. New Jersey won
six firsts and keeps the Soldier Of Mara

EARLY CLOSING ENDS.

1t was given out at the State. War,

when the order for early closing was
sent around that it would be the last
day during the season that they would
close at O'Clock.

however. no ultinatum was sent out, ard
it is possible that these may close one

The prospects are, however, that the
clerks will be compelled to remain until
4 o'clock. the same as on other days un-
til summer comes again. The chic.
clerk of the department gives the order
for early closing, although the Secretary
is usually consulted about such matters

veloped yesterday afternoon He was on
his way to this city to keep business
engagement with Col. Forest Brown and
Mr.. George Vending Both of these
gentlemen were on the train that struck
and killed Colonel 0'Driscoll. They, too,

was until being informed of the fact
upon their arrival in Washington.

The last chapter has not vet been
written in the Tolton case. From APP
pearances the return Of the supposed
murdered woman and the release of
the husband was but the anti-climax,
the real and closing climax being
destined to come later in the story.
Upon his return to Westville Wednes-
day evening ToltOn raised disturb
ance at his home as result of which
it was necessary for Marshal Warnke
to make a visit to the place and warn
him that unless he Quoted down he
would be arrested. Mrs. Tolton will
leave her husband and 60 to St.
Mary's, Ohio, to make her home with
her brother, Charles Polsdorfer, should
she recover from the nervous attack
which has Frustrated her. Because of
his Incarceration on charge that
proved groundless Tolton looks upon
himself as hero and feels that he is
privileged to do about as he pIeaSeS.
Mrs. TOltOn says her husband has
beat her many times and threatened
to kill her.

The differences of opinion express
ed by those in the Catholic church re-
garding the retirement of the friars
from the Philippines are largely those
of men quite prominent in the church,
but. so far as expressed, the prepond-
erance of opinion is in favor Of with
drawal sooner or later. The Pontifi
and the Vatican are in favor of with
drawal as soon as it can be done with
out embarrassment. The Pope, who
is beyond the partisan influence which
may affect many Catholics in this
country, has expressed confidence that
the president will treat his church
with consideration.

Tracey Commits Suicide.

Harry Tracey is dead. The most
talked of desperate Of recent times
has ended one of the most sensational
man hunts IN the history of the West
and the entire country. with bullet
sent into his brain by his own hand.
He had boosted that he would never
be taken alive, and he kept his word.
Discovered in a barn near Fellowes, a
station on the Washington Central,
fifty miles west of Spokane, last Tues
day night, he made a dash for liberty.
A bullet fractured his right leg, but
he escaped into wheat field, where
after an unsuccessful attempt to stay
the flow of blood from severed artery
he ended the long chase of nearly two
months by blowing out bis brains.
Scores Of peace officers have spent
weeks and thousands of dollars in
chasing the escaped convict over the
states Of Oregon and Washington since
his escape from prison, June 9, but
none of them was sin at the death, -
ard the big reward is likely to be Ndi-
vided between outsiders.

Mrs. ToIton Returns to WestviIle.

While an excited mob was watch
ing the Michigan City life saving crew
drag Clear lake in a search for the
body of Mrs. William Tolton, who it
was believed had been slain by her
husband, the determination of the
angry citizens to hold lynching bee
was cooled by the information from
Chicago that the missing woman was
on a Wabash train en- route to the
village.
The solution of the mystery proves
that but for the bravery of Marshal
Warncke ofWestville an innocent man
would have been dragged from the
jail that fateful Monday night in his
career and hanged by the neck until
dead.
The story told by Mrs. Tolt0n
TALES in every particular with the
statements made by TOlt0n before
and after his Incarceration in Jail.
She said she was furnished a ticket by
Tolton to 60 to Chicago, with the un-
derstanding that she was to enter a
hospital for an operation. She visit
ed a hospital, but was told by the
physician in charge that her case did
not warrant the use of the knife, and
medicine was prescribed for the all
ment.
