INTERSTATE HEALTH MATTERS
Discussed in Convention At Chattanoo-
oa-14 States Represented.

Chattanooga. Tenn. Nov. 10.-Four-
teen Southern states, today, through
their governors, senators, congressman
and other representative citizens. made
their wishes known regarding the rela-
tions of states to the federal govern
ment in the matters OF quarantine and
Of immigration. After a discussion OF
two days, the Southern conference on
quarantine and immigration ignored
the principle of state rights with a
plan which only experience can show
thow to amend with profit Throughout
the conference spirited debate was al
most uninterrupted as to the constitu-
tionality of federal control of inter-
state health matters. Governor Varda-
man Of Mississippi. was firm advo-
cate of the principle of state rights
which should prevent the interference
OF federal authority in state affairs.
Gov. Blanchard of Louisiana. declared
that the doctrine of state rights could
have no place in the argument.
Congressman John Sharp Williams,
whose late appearance at the confer
ence prevented his participation in the
earlier debate, poured oil upon the
troubled waters and as chairman Of the
quarantine committee, presented re-
port which was adopted with but one
dissenting vote, that Of Senator NAL
lory of Florida. The resolution re-
quests Congress to enact a law where
by coast, maritime and national from
tier quarantine shall be placed exclu-
sively under the control and jurisdic-
ton of the United States government
and that matters of Interstate quar-
antine shall be placed under the con-
troll of the jurisdiction of the United
States government, acting i'm co-opera-
ton with the several state boards of
health.
The report of the immigration COM
mittee was adopted by the unanimous
vote of the convention. The resolutions
accompanying it say that desirable i'm
migration is needed in order to develop
the resources of the South, and that
"all white persons who are willing to
subscribe to our laws and who appre-
ciate and love the genius of our insti-
tutions'' are wanted and would be well
coined.
The resolutions also endorse this and
approve the recommendation of Presi
dent Roosevelt for changes in the i'm
migration laws with a view to making
it more difficult for the pauper and
criminal classes to enter the United
States.

Washington. Nov. 10.-The tribute paid
to President Roosevelt in LondCn. yes
tert!ay. in connection with the lord may
or's parade has directed attention here tn
suggestion emanating from J. Selwin
TAFT, local representative of the Inter

Temple of Peace" Mr.. TAFT feels that
there will be no difficulty in raising by
public subscription a fund sufficient to
erect a structure in every respect worthy
of the triumph at Portmouth.
The suggestion is that there be erected
q large building to be used for conven-
tons and meetings of national import
ance, to be of rich design with ornamen-
tation emblemaltic of peace, and perhaps
symbolic of the success of President
Roosevelt in tightening the bonds of

THE PRESIDENT AIMS
To Have Consular Appointments Made
Upon Merit Alone.

Washington, NOV. lO.-Wlln tne
double purpose of Offering perma-
nent career in the diplomatic and con-
sular service to competent young men
old of improving those branches of the
government service SO as to make
them more valuable than they are now
to business interests of the country. the
President at the instance of Sec. Root,
announced two new rules.
The first of these has not yet taken
concrete form, but it's substance as
made public was that hereafter any APP
plicant for appointment as secretary OF
embassy or legation must possess a
knowledge of at least one other Ian
guage than English and must be 9TH
erwise examined as to his competency.
This rule is closely in line with the
English practice and it's development
will involve the promotion of the bright
young men III the diplomatic service in
the degree that they justify it by hard
study fitting them for new posts. BY
the order as to the consular service,
the existing rule which requires the eX-
animation of such consular officers as
are limited in compensation to the
maximum of $500 per annum and a
minimum of $1,000 is extended to in
clude "all consulates general. CONNER
cial agencies and consular agencies the
annual compensation of which is not
less than $l00U."
In President Cleveland's administra-
ton. an effort was made to examine all
applicants for consular positions, but
this was soon abandoned and the linn
jtation now in vogue vas adopted. The
purpose of the President and Sec. Root
is to take the consular service away
from political preferment and to make
promotion as we'll as appointment de-
pendent upon absolute merit.
