PLAGUE IN NEW YORK.
Three Cases Discovered on the Steam
ship Saxon Prince.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Three cases of bubonic plague are I'M
der treatment in the Swinburne Island
Hospital at quarantine. The sufferers are
the first and second cooks and the second
steward of the Prince line steam Saxon
Prince, which arrived from Durham. South
Africa, yesterday. When on inspection of
the crew three were found to be i'll. A thor
ough examination of the patients con-
WINGED Health Officer Doty that they had
all the symptoms of the plague. and they
were taken to Swinburne Island where Gull
lures were made. The result of the examt-
nation there tonight confirmed the diagno-
sis made at the inspection.
The first man taken i'll, according to Capt.
Jamison, was the second cook. He first
complained to the captain when the ship
was out two weeks. AS the steamer left
Durham on November 8, this PAGES the re-
ported illness on November %. The other
two cases appeared about two weeks ago.
The history of the cases makes complete
chain of infection from the time Of the
exposure of the first man at Duban to the
time of arrival. The crew were ashore at
Durham, and it is undoubtedly there that
the disease was contracted.
The first patient Is convalescent, but the
other two are still under treatment.

FoR THE PARK wAToHMEN.
Amendment to Legislative Bill Ruled
Out on Point Of Order.

An effort to make the park watchmen
under the employ Of Colonel Bingham, en-
gineer officer in charge Of public buildings
and grounds, beneficiaries Of q relief fund.
was brought to naught In the House yester-
day afternoon, after the subject had taken
up large amount Of time and incidentally
became involved in hair-splitting parlia-
mentary procedure.
The proposition was carried in a para
graph of the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation BILL and stipulated that
the fines and forfeitures Of collateral re-
sulting from arrests made by park watch
men should be turned over by the District
Commissioners to the Secretary Of War,
to be held In trust and disbursed by him
under such regulations as he might pre-
scribe for the relief of disabled park watch
men or their families.
When the paragraph was read Mr.. Bart
lett OF Georgia questioned Its purpose and
reserved a point of order against 1t as new
legislation This point was insisted on by
Mr., Robinson Of Indiana Mr.. Hemenway
of Indiana explained that the fines and col
lateral now collected as the result OF ar
rests made by park watchmen went into
the relief fund for the benefit Of the met
ropolitan police. and that the park watch
men who made the arrests got nothing In
the way of relief or benefits in case of dis
ability. He stated as further argument In
the watchmen was only $720 a year, while
that OF the regular police officer amounted
to 81 100. The amount Of fines and collat-
eral collected annually from the arrests of
park watchmen, he said, amounted to from
81 800 to $1,000 annually. Mr.. Hemenway
became rather severe In his criticism OF
Mr.. Robinson in making the point Of order
against the paragraph. and when the latter
endeavored to reply Mr.. Hemenway refused
to yield After Mr.. Hemenway had con-
cluded Mr.. Robinson, in order to get the
floor, moved a pro-forma amendment. ito
strike out the last word" He then stated
that in insisting on his point Of order he
wanted to put himself on record as against
the whole relief system, and he did not
want that system extended. The proper
way to amend the law, he maintained, was
in a bill drawn especially for that purpose.
When he had concluded Mr.. Bromwell Of
Ohio declared that because Mr.. Robinson
had made an amendment after taking his
point of order, he had waived the point.
and made it too late for any other member
to make the same point. This occasioned
an argument which was INDUCED in by sew
eral members, and was finally ruled on by
the chair, who sustained the original point
of order against the paragraph, which
struck 1t from the bill.

TUNNEL FRANCHISES SECURED.
Pennsylvania Company Now Has
Right to Cross Manhattan.

A dispatch from New York yesterday says:
After repeated postponements and protract-
ed debate, the board of aldermen today, by
a vote of Al to &c. granted the Pennsylvania
railroad tunnel franchise.
A minority report. signed by Aldermen
Mccall and Diemer, was read. This report
gave as a reason for opposing the franchise
the refusal of the company to insert in the
contract the eight-hour day and prevailing
rate Of wages clauses.
Alderman Waters minority report opposed
the franchise on the same grounds, and
because a clause was not inserted to the
effect that the grant should not be assigned.
sublet or leased to any other corporation
without the consent of the board Of alder
men. This report was accepted by Alder
man Mccall, but the question to recommit
was defeated by vote of 81 to 30.
Immediately after the granting Of the
Pennsylvania franchise the New York and
New Jersey railroad tunnel franchise.
granting the privilege of entering Manhat-
tan in West street, was taken up and passed
by vote Of 40 to Is.

Royal Tips.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronlcle
Even kings must pay out and emperors
tip when the butler and footman speed
them as the parting guest. After his stay
here for Queen Victoria's funeral the Ger
man emperor left 5000 for the servants at
Windsor and Osborne But until vigorous
action was taken by the prince consort,
even larger donations were expected OF the
scvereign's visitors. 1t was the visit of the
Gar Nicholas l that led to reform. After
a weeks stay at Windsor he left 600 for
the royal servants, and Napoleon III was
equally extravagant. In the interests OF
her poor relations Queen Victoria set a rea-
sonable limit to her servants perQuisites.
The only visitor who disregarded this regu-
lation was the late King OF Holland. who
had truly regal conceptions OF money.

DUTY ON WOODEN LEGS.
Necessaries for the LesIess CInssed rs
Family supplies"

A problem which for months threatened
to undermine the health of the New York
customs officers. reports the New York
Times, has been happily solved, and, though
they are weak and nervous from the strain,
they are safe. The automobile of a Chi
cage man abroad undertook to climb a
church spire. and after the amputation he
bought a wooden leg at Berlin. On reach
ing the shores of his native land he did
not declare this purchase as dutiAble.
Perhaps, as a Chicago man. he should have
been taxed to swell the surplus revenues.
but It was not on this ground that his leg
was seized by an Inspector. There is no
flaw in the reasoning Of the owner OF the
leg. He maintained that he had carried
away from this country a real meat leg,
which was more valuable than the wooden
substitute with which he returned, there
fore he brought back less than he took
away, and Il would be absurd to tax him as
though his possessions had been enlarged
from the rich spoils Of the European mar
kets. This was before the recent personal
effects ruling Of Secretary shaw. The in
spector, although confident that the leg
should be pulled, could not say how 1t
should be classified. and the appraisers, col
lector and deputies were just as uncertain.
The department at Washington merely di-
rected attention to a number OF irrelevant
rulings and left the decision to the New
York once. STIMULATING only that one trous-
ers leg should be assessed as coverings at
the same rate OF duty, whatever that
might be.

faucet to draw of the drink. For months
this portable dramshop spread hilarity and

proprietor limped along the road to wealth.
II was only when he allowed himself to

lost his discretion, and soon after his lib
