FOR POLITICAL EFFECT ONLY
Republicans Plan Commission to Investigate Specific

er OF the senate. Both interviews re-
lated to the proposition that the senate
provide for an investigation Of the af-
fairs of the pOstoffice department. The
president maintains the same position
that he has held since the inception OF
the troubles in the postOffice depart
ment-that the department must be
purged from all suspicion. He believes
that the investigation conducted by the
department officials themselves was
thorough and searching, and that any
further investigation by a committee
OF congress or by a commission from
the outside. covering the same ground
would he practically fruitless. but he
is not inclined to stand in the way Of

tails of the catastrophe to the Petr0-

Proof of chicago's Healthfulness.

The healthfulness of Chicago is be-
coming noteworthy, and those who are
familiar with the death figures of the
great city by the lakes are ready to
boast that no city of its size can show
a better record. sChicago continues to
refuse to cultivate close acquaintance
with deaths emissaries. Her percent
age Of deaths continues to decrease.
The death rate per 1000 in July of
this year was 11.95, while tina. for the
corresponding month last year was
1902. The total number of deaths from
all causes in July of this year was
1883, those for the same month last
year amounted to 1880. According to
philosophers, lay and professional, who
have been puzzling over Chicago's low
death rate, the cause of this remarka-
BILE reduction is Chicago's wonderful
climate" and to certain extent this
is true. But the health department Of
ficials are not willing to concede all
credit to the weather and would like
an explanation of the following fig
ures:
During June and July of the worlds
fair year. 1898, the weather-that is to
say, the "climate"-was almost identi-
cal as to temperature, precipitation,
humidity, percentage of sunshine and
atmospheric pressure with those fac
tors Of climate of June and July, 1904.
Yet in June, 1893, there were 1885
deaths reported and the mortality rate
was 1871 per 1000 of the increased
population caused by the worlds fair;
in June, 1904. there were 1,745 deaths
reported, with an annual rate of HOP
per 1000 of the conservatively esti.
mated population of less than / ,93S,O 900
In July. 1898, the corresponding figures
were 2,92S deaths reported; annual rate
