Arrival Of Monitors.

The monitor Florida, with about sixty
midshipmen on board, passed up the river
vcs.erday afternoon about 3 O'Clock.
The monitor Nevada was reported of
Indian Head yesterday. She passed up
today. The Nevada has on board about
the same number Of cadets as her sister
ships. the Arkansas and the Florida.
II is not known how many Of the lower
class men will be carried 20 Washington,
as it has not yet been determined how
many of the ships can be brought up the
river. 1t is the intention of the Navy
Department to bring the torpedo-boat
destroyers Worden and Whipple and the
trainingship Hartford, the old flagship
of Admiral Farragut, il the channel VIII
permit, so that by the end Of the week
there will be feet of six or seven war
vessels at anchor off the Seventh street
wharf in Washington, the largest num-
Der that has been collected there for some
wears. While on her way up the river
the monitor Arkansas had narrow es-
cape from colliding with the tug Unity,
caused by the monitor swinging round
to come to anchor broadside to the tug,
which was closely following. Much dis
satisfaction is expressed by naval officers
with the inadequate channel, which will
not permit ships of heavy draft to come
up the river as far as Alexandra.

Russian Fugi ives.

The number of Russian fugitives from
military service entering Germany on
their way to the United States and
Great Britain, Increases daily, and the
German police authorities detain many
and deliver them to Russian frontier
posts. The fugilives usually buy false
passports within Russian territory en-
:itling them to leave The empire, but
many risk their lives in escaping across
the frontier surreptitiously, notwith-
standing the vigilance of the frontier
guards. The German police carefully
inspect all fourthclass railway compart-
ments of trains moving westward from
the Slesian frontier. Most OF the
fugi.ives are caught at Kamlrzin Station,
where several railways meet and an
emigrant inspection station is located.
All persons intending to go to the
United States without money enough TO
meet the requirements Of the Amerl'
can immigration laws are sent back to
Russia. and are deliyerered to the
Russian authorities at Sosnovice. Nine
fugitives were handed over ON Satur'

Typhoid Fever.

According to Health Officer Wood
ward. the District of Columbia is now In
the midst of the worst typhoid season oil
the year. During the week ending Sat-
urday there were thirty three new cases
of typhoid reported to the Lealth office,
making in all 1853. The number on hand
at the corresponding period of last year
was IS4. The increase in the number OF
cases of typhoid fever" says DR.. Wood
ward, represents merely the usual in
creased prevalence of this disease during
the month of August. Contrary to pop
ularity accepted opinion, August, IN
this vicinity at least, seems usually TO
present the heaviest incidence OF this
disease" Deaths, it is said, are more apt
TO occur from two to five weeks after the
onset of the disease than at an earlier
peroid. A number of persons in Alex
andria are suffering from typhoid lever
and some have been confined to their
homes for long time by the disease
There have, however, been but few
deaths.

Collecting Garbage.

Col. Myron NJ. Parker, president oil
the Washington Fertilizer Company
contractor for the collection of the gar
bage of Washington, called upon Com
missioner Macfarland yesterday morning
and assured him that he would do every,
thing in his power to relieve the present
unsatisfactory condition, and if neces-
sary would 90 to Alexandria or Balti-
more to secure more teams to collect the
garbage. There are complaints in this
city Of the show process of collecting
garbage. The trouble originates from
the fact that the facilities for this work
are below the requirements. Those en-
gagged in this service are constantly
moving from point to point, but they
often find it impossible to call at some
residences until garbage Accommodates
and becomes a nuisance.
