Freight Terminals.

More than two hundred Italian labor
ers arrived in Washington this morning
TO go to work for the contractors who
are doing the preliminary labor on the
site of the freight terminals at Ecking-
ton and elsewhere IN Washington.
The men have been brought here be-
cause of the scarcity OF suitable labor in
the city. They came from Baltimore
and Northern points.

going on to the south and west of Wash

GORMAN CITES TARIFF
FOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE
Would Reaffirm Plank in
1884 Platform.
SEES GOOD CHANCE TO WIN
Marylander Talks More Freely of Demo-
cratic Prospects-Calls Indiana
and Illinois Doubtful.

Campaign issues were discussed more
freely by Senator German yesterday than
in any previous interview with political
turn from Europe.
To friends who called upon him and
discussed politics he said positively that
the revision of the tariff should be one
OF the main points upon which the
Democrats should make their contest.
Thinks Tariff Ubiquitous.
THE policy of collecting from the peo-
pie more than $75, 600. 900 which cannot
be spent reasonably is an inquiry" he
said. and an extravaganza which the
Democratic party should bring to- an end
Such policy breeds corruption. The
revision of the tariff, then, should be a
paramount issue of the campaign.
I'm order to win the Democratic party
must have the confidence of the business
world. 1t was the lack of this conf
dence, which caused the defeats in 1896
and 1900. To secure such confidence IL
is necessary for the Democratic party
to pledge itself explicitly that in the re-
vision Of the tariff 1t is not the purpose
Of the party to wreck any Industries,
many of which were established under
the present law.
Would Go Democratic.
The party should make a pledge
similar to that in the platform of 1884.
With such pledge, there seems TO me
to be no doubt that the party can carry
New York. New Jersey, and Connecti-
cut. Indiana and Illinois are also hope
full fields. 1 think we can carry several
OF the mountain States-Colorado. Idaho.
and Montana. We also have good fight
ing chance In California and Oregon.
Il think the outlook is exceedingly
hopeful.
AT the coming session of Congress a
tariff debate will surely arise over the
resolution to affirm the Cuban treaty.
The resolution will, of course. be adopt
ed. From that time onward there will
be great deal said about the saE.a.

FLY BLAMED FOR FEVER.
Iuvestixations In Chicago Proved
That the Insect Spread the
#6 Germs Of Typhoid.

An inquiry into the recent epi-
demic of typhoid fever in Chicago,
made. by residents of Hull house,
shows some extremely interesting
facts, especially concerning the con-
nection that the common house fly
may have with typhoid fever, says
the Journal.
The City Homes association has
published and distributed pamphlet
showing the result in Investigations
made by Miss Maui. Gernon, Miss
Gertrude Howe and DIR. Alice Hamil-
ton. The research was conducted at
Memorial Institute for Infectious
Diseases. ..
The pollution of the water supply
by sewage has generally been be-
lieved to be the great source of dan
ger, but experiments have proved
that the fly may be the means Of
spreading disease broadcast.
| During the recent epidemic COM
paratively small area Of the West
side suffered most. Over one-sixth
Of the deaths occurred in the Nine

was found to be most severe where

plumbing poor, and other conditions

Two places were selected near Hull

ton. Flies were captured about the
premises and put in cultures. The
result showed typhoid fever germs.

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW.
rAey wsre Owned by the state aaa
Were Open 10 Anyone who
wished to Use Then.

When the state Of Pennsylvania
opened the Philadelphia & Columbia
railway, the theory was that the state
should furnish the roadway and that
kanyone that pleased could furnish his
own vehicle and motive power and
use the railway whenever he pleased,
by paying the state tolls for it's use,
just as the turnpikes of the day were
used.
But it was soon discovered that q
certain character of vehicle was neces-
sary and that rules and regulations as
to times and manner of using the rail-
ways were absolutely necessary for
their successful operation, says the
Boston Globe.
The ordinary shippers found it too
expensive to furnish the necessary
plant, and that they could get this
transportation done by large and we'll
equipped shippers much more cheaply
than they could do it themselves, SO
that in practice the business drifted
into the hands of few individuals and
companies, who did this service for the
many.
The railway as constructed was in
tended for the horse as motive power,
though the locomotive was introduced
as an experiment shortly after the rail-
way was completed.
The following, among the rules and
regulations adopted by the canal COM
mission for the regulation of the rail-
vvav NAV he If interest:
section 90. No car shall carry q
greater load than three tons on the
Columbia & Philadelphia railway, nor
more than three and one-half tons on
the Portage railway, nor shall any bur-
den car travel at greater speed than
five miles per hour, unless the car
body shall be supported on good steel.
springs
"Section 10s. 1t shall be the duty of
the conductors of cars moving with
less speed upon railways, upon notice

Otherwise of the approach of loco

refuse or neglect to comply with the
provisions of this regulation shall, for
every offense, forfeit. and pay the sum
