DR.. Armstrong, the general medical d.
rector at Bellevue Hospital. issued an
order on Saturday to tho other physicians
and surgeons that all patients in a condition
to stand the ordeal should be vaccinated.
The doctors started in to carry out the
order yesterday. There are nearly 900
patients in Bellevue at present. The work
is being lone by wards. 1t was tried on the
alcoholic ward yesterday and a great row
resulted, The DRINKS didn't like the idea.
Some refused to stay in the hospital and
be .v~accinated and left, there being no
way by which they could be detained as
they we're not prisoners. Other drunks
just coming into the hospital last night
were old that they would be v~accinated
if they went to the ward and the majority
of them beat a hasty retreat.
DR.. Armstrong said he issued the order
in view of the numerous contagious dis
eases that have become pr evalent in the
city and especially OIL account of the several
cases of smallpox that have been reported.

LONDON on ROOSEVELT SPEECH.
One OF His Most Momentous Itterances.
says the Express"
Special Cable Despatch TO THE 81

Special Cdbe Despatch 10 lHE SUN.
LONDON. April l5.-The Daily Mail con-
elders President Roosevelt's speech on
Saturday to have been Of unusual impor-
lance. 1t says the Socialist theory that the
rich are growing richer and the poor poorer
can only be maintained by biased and
~credulous persons who feel bound to a
theory. The truth, rather, is that where the
rich grow richer the poor, by the same
process, also grow richer. Since great
wealth is only attainable by real service
to the community that service generally
consists ip cheapening some commodity
by skilful organization Of manufacture or
supply.
The Express describes the speech as one
Of Mr.. Roosevelt most momentous utter
ances. He repeats. it says, what scores OF
political economists already have pro-
posed, but he lends the. suggestion all the
weight of his high position and his world
wide reputation forrconservative, if forcible
craftsmanship.
The Daily Ne,cs thinks that President,
Roosevelt's plea for the painless extinction
of rich men will carry public opinion en-
tirely with him. 1t compares his sugges-
ton with James Kerr Hardie's proposals
10 limit inheritances to SO. 400 900, beyond
which the State will take all, and to limit
incomes to ESQ 900.
The Telegraph says the words Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the taxing OF
inheritances are vague enough, but he Is
being charged with Socialistic leanings.
Yet they will not sound very dreadful in
this country, which has long enjoyed an
income tax, combined with the principle
Of graduation.
The Tribune says it doubts il Mr.. Roose-
velt's assault on inherited fortunes achieves
much. 1t expresses surprise hat the most
popular man in America, elected for the
second time by the party of vested inter
ests, should begin to preach Mr.. Chamber
lain,s old doctrine Of ransom.

First Traf1c I'm Thirty-three Days Reaches
Colorado Town Avalanche Held II.
SILvERroN. Col, April 15.-The first train
for. ~thirty-three, days steamed into the
station last night. 1t consisted of eight
freight cars and two passenger coaches.
and there was no spare room in any of
them.
The first freight unloaded was ten barrels
of whiskey and six collins. The train ran
through the immense snow mass below
town which has long detied the blockade
brea kers. 1t is 81 feet high and 100 yards
long, and has packed into II block of solid
ice.
There being no way of removing it, a bore
was run through it. and passengers COM
ing to this city will probably be treated
to the novelty Of an ice tunnel until well
into the summer.
The mass il the remains of one of the
greatest avalanches Of the winter, and
since the weather turned warm the daily
thawing n nightly freezing, with occa-
siona heavy rains soaking through it,
transformed it into ice of great hardness.
A regulation miners unne outfit of drills
was used in boring the tunnel.

BEREIN, April -l5.-Owing to the Easter
holidays thareis little commen yet printed
on Emperor Williams message to Count
Gollchowski. the Austrian Minister OF
Foreign Afnirs, which accompanied his
Majesty's gift OF the Order Of the Red
Eagle toCount Wclsersheimb for hisservices
in behalf Of Germany at the Algeciras con-
ference.
ThS Pos states Ihat the Kaiser has aban-
doned his Mediterranean cruise to avoid
meeting the King Of Italy, he being offended
by the ACTION of the Italian delegates to
the conference in not supporting Germany.
The Boersep Courier calls the decoration
of Count Welsersheimb, the telegram to
Count G%ollehowski and the fact that the
Emperor and Empress dined at the Aus
trian Embassy a triple manifestation of
gratitude to Germany's only sure friend,
which il hopes Italy will take to heart.
The Frdnkfurter Zeituno sRys the Triple
Alliance did not cut a good figure at Al
geciras, and it adds that perhaps 1t has
already gone to pieces.
The Tdueiiche RundSchdu regrets the
publication of the telegram, which con-
tains so much policy of sentiment and per-
sonal feeling that it is likely to weaken
belief in Germany's desire to pursue q
determined, sober policy.

spondent of the Times quotes a diplomatist
as saying that Emperor William wished to

awoke to find that his leg-the one on the
chair-was gone. although the other one,
the little brother of the rich, was still with
him.
Menza arose and made a clamor. He
found that a hole had been bored in the

pushed an arm through and showed back
the bolt. Entrance and the rape of the
leg were easy. thereafter. The leg was
found later in the cellar, rined, but other
