There is rule TO tho effect that
physicians not belonging to the staff

lege, and the general sentiment seemed
tn prevail last night that 10 action
should be taken towards abrogating
this rule
A resolution was adopted providing
for joint meeting between the
governors aud the members CT the
medical staff for a carefnl review OF
the situation. by which means it is
hoped to arrive at satisfactory con
clusion
A motion was first presented that a
committee of three be appointed to
confer with the physicians Of the staff,
hut it was Withdrawn in favor of the
above resolution.
This question. which has been more
freely hrouRhs to mind sinoe the death
of one Of t'eGix members Of the staff.
vas debated from every viewpoint
last night.
TIoso in favor OF leaving the rules
untouched urged that, if they or the
staff were TO extend the above men
toned privilege to local physicians
outside of the hospital staff, they could
MT well decline to exend the same
rights to PHYSICIANS from any part CT
Middles X courtv, because or the fact
that the hospital receives $4,000 an
aually from the county treasury for
maintenance expenses.
1t was brought out during the
course OF the discussion that there Is
no semblance Of any feeling whatever
against auv of the local d octors who
do not belong to the staff of the insti-
tuition, nut that 1t is simply matter
of principle aud Of courtesy TO the
members of the staff.
The addition of new mem her to
the staff, to succeed tho late DR.. Levy,

Bard of Estimate had
Important Meeting
Last Night.
NO. | REPAIRS.
Old Building TO be 0verhauIed
Throughout and a Six Room
Addition Built on
the Rear.

The public schools of this city are
not to be slighted this year. The yari-
Gus boards having to do with raising
funds for their support have reached
an understanding and everything
was harmonious at the meeting of the
Board Of Estimate last night. The
session was held behind closed doors
and reporters were barred, but it was
stated this morning that the schools,
this year, will have about $95, 300.
This is much more than the B ,ard of
Education requested. In figuring this
up, however, it includes the amount
to be received from the state, which
is about s22 900, an increase over last
year, and also s25, 900, which will be
raised by bonds for the repair and ad-
dition TO school No. l.
The repairs to No. have been
pressing for several years and it was
the opinion of the board that when
changes are made it should be done
right. therefore tn bonds for $25, 900
are TO be issued. This not only means
repairs to the main building of No. /,
but the tearing down of the little
frame annex in the rear and the erec-
tion of six room addition.
Leaving out the state money and the
bond issue, the amount to be provided
for in the citY'e animal budget will be
S4S. 400 for the schools.

ure of the session. 1t is expected that the

MR.. LODGES STATEMENT.
Describes Action Taken Upon Treaties
Sent to the Senate.

Senator Lodge presented to the Senate In
executive session yesterday afternoon list
of all the general and particular arbitration
treaties, or arbitration articles in treaties
containing other provisions, that have been
submitted to the Senate. The senator has
compiled also a statement showing the con-
stitutionaI methods of making and ratifying
treaties In certain foreign countries. The
statement was ordered printed as a public
document.
The disposition of each arbitration treaty
is given by the statement. 1t shows that
forty-four were submitted, of which forty
three were ratified and one, the Olney-
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain, re-
jected. OF the treaties ratified thirty-seven
were not, and six were, amended. Seven
arbitration agreements have been entered
into without being submitted to the Senate.
They all provided for the settlement Of pri-
vate claims. and were with Brazil, Colom-
bia, Spain, Mexico Pius fund case) San
Domingo and two with Hayti. The Domini-
can is the San Domingo Improvement Com
pany case, inquired into by Senator Bacon's
resolution introduced Monday.
The compilation of the laws covering the
ratification Of arbitration agreements, of all
the countries with whom the United States
has negotiated such treaties, shows that in
every instance the executive must secure
the approval of at least one, and in most
instances, both parliamentary bodies ex-
cept In the cases of Switzerland, where the
parliamentary body Is supreme in treaty
making, the executive having none of the
power and of Great Britain, where the
king must secure the approval of the min
istry, virtually a committee of parliament
and analogous with the foreign relations
committee of the Senate of the United
States. The announcement Is made by
Senator Lodge that he will not make any
statement in answer to the letter OF the
President, which charged that the ratifica-
ton of the arbitration treaties with the
amendment adopted was a step backward
and not a step forward.
$50 far as l know, no one Is going to
make a statement on that subject" said
the senator.

REPORTS REGARDING CANTEEN.
Secretary Taft Cautions Officers to
State ONLY Facts.

A circular issued by the War Department
to the army gives the text of letter re-
ceived by the Secretary of War from Rep
resentative Littlefield of Maine relative to
the anti-canteen act and the Secretary
reply, together with Instructions to officers
with respect to their reports on the subject.
In his letter Mr.. Littlefield states that he
is the author of the anti-canteen amend
ment, and adds:
Il regret to say that an impression pre-
wallis that the officers in the army are not
Only adverse to this legisla ton, but are
pIejudiced against 1t. If this Is true IL
has created an unfriendly atmosphere that
not only will impair the efficiency of the
recreation and amusement feature, but Will
Of itself practically defeat the object Of
the legislation
Secretary Taft. in reply, said: II think
you are correct In assuming that a great
majority of the officers of the army regard
the anti-canteen amendment as Ill advised
and as likely to increase rather than de-
crease drunkenness in the ranks. Indeed.
l must admit to you that at present ad-
vised share their opinion" The Secretary
then says he recognizes that 1t was the in
tention of those who favored the amend
ment to substitute for the canteen a COM
modious post exchange. and that the ques-
ton whether the present system is TO be
maintained or the cantcen restored, with
the privilege of drinking beer and light
wines only, will be settled by Congress
after a careful investigation. Continuing.
the Secretary said that while he recognized
the danger of formed opinions colorng
more or less judgment to results, obedi-
ence to orders is with army officers the fist
soldierly virtue. and that If cautioned To
report facts impartially they will obey the
direction of constituted authority. He then
info rmed Mr.. Littleheld that he would
transmit the correspondence. together with
caution to all officers, adding: Il nave no
doubt of the good faith and energy with
which the officers of the army are carrying
on. the purpose of Congress in providing
the post exchange, and | do not think any
caution in this respect is needed
In his circular to the army the Secretary
Of War requests officers, who in their an
nual reports are called upon to speak OF
the operations of the anti-canteen act. to
present facts, whether pro or con, with
out any coloring, and not their views. lie
says that the good faith of the army in
making these reports. unless on their face
they are impartial statements of the facts
which have core to the knowledge of the
officers, will, in the heat of controversy.
certainly be attacked II there Is the slight
est internal evidence of a bias on the part
of witnesses, and that the army officers
duty in the premises is to be merely inn
partial judges of the operations of the act.

sided in the trial of the Fishburne case.
today refused to set aside the verdict of
the jury which sentenced Fishburne to
five years Imprisonment for voluntary
manslaughter In the killing of DR.. Lefew.

ton Of the defense that the law was fully
complied with in the selection Of the jury.
His attorneys asked for g. stay of ex-
ecution of sentence which was granted
for forty-flve days, pending an appeal to
the supreme court.
Judge Aiken sentenced Fishburne to five
years in the penitentiary. 1t is now under
stood that he will have to go behind the

Typhoid Probably Due to Oysters.

Through report to the board of health
of Lawrence, L. l., by Sanitary Engineer
Soper of New York, it has become known
that there was an epidemic of typhoid
early this winter in that fashionable sub
urban community, due to eating oysters.
According to Prof. Soper, who was en-
ployed to investigate the cause OF the
outbreak, he got track of thirty.one
cases, of which three were fatal More
than two-thirds of the cases were traced
to shellfish taken from water polluted
with sewage. Thousands Of cases OF ty-
phoid may have been caused elsewhere,
Prof. Soper declares. through the eating
of oysters and clans shipped from Law
renee and vicinity. He estimates that
from 5000 to 1000 cases. some of them In
Europe, may have been directly due to
the infected Shellfish
