PNEUMONIA NOW ON wANE
BUT STILL HEADS LIST IN NOR
TALITY REPORT.
Improvement in Health Conditions
in District for Week Ending
April "a.

Milder weather conditions in April are
resulting in a reduction in the number of
pneumonia victims. according to the week
ly mortality report of the health depart
ment for the week ended April "a. issued
today. This fact is regarded by many as
a further argument for the change of the
inaugural date from March to the last
Thursday in April.
among the diseases most fatal" de-
clares the report, pneumonia still leads.
with 10 deaths to its credit but this num-
ber is considerably less than the number
registered in the previous report. With
the approach of milder and less change
able weather we may expect the fatal-
ties from this disease to be reduced to the
minimum"
Report Is Optimistic.
The report for the week Is optimistic
throughout.
There was" it begins. "a noteworthy
Improvement in the mortality conditions
of the District of Columbia during the
week ended April "a, as compared with
the week previous. but these conditions
are not quite so favorable as for the cor
responding period of 1905" The deaths
for the week numbered 49, making
death rate for the District of 17.S. The
births numbered 114, considerably lower
than the record for the same period In
1905 when 136 births were reported.
The number of typhoid fever cases con-
tinues to increase, says the report. No
explanation for the increase is given and
the officials say they cannot account for
the prevalence of the disease at this time.
The number of new cases registered was
fourteen and the number discharged was
eight. There are now 200 cases on hand,
as against seventy at the same time
year ago.
Other Contagious Diseases.
Regarding other contagious diseases
the report says:
'Diphtheria cases number the same as
at the last report. There were six new
cases registered and the same number
discharged, one of the latter by death.
There are now twenty cases under quar-
antine Scarlet fever cases were reduced
from eghty-five at the last report, to
eighty-one at this date. Thirteen new
cases were reported and seventeen dis
charged. with no deaths. The two cases
of smallpox on hand at the beginning of
the week have been discharged as cured
and the city is now free from this disease.
WhOoping cough cases were Increased
from 216 to 90 Fourteen new cases
were recorded and ten were discharged,
the latter being recoveries.
Measles shows tendency to improve
rnent with twenty-five more discharges
than newly reported cases. There are
now 3.112 cases under observation and
treatment. Chickenpox cases increased
from 217 to 22o Twelve new cases were
demic cerebro-spinal meningitis remains
unchanged since the last report. There
are but two cases in the city, so far as
known to this department.

The attitude Of Canada towards the

some concern. There will be early eff
forts to remedy this situation, but there

Speaker Cannon and Senator Aldrich,
who speaks for the majority of the

press a Willingness to wait upon the

formulate a plan of action This is
true both in the Senate and the House
| They proclaim no fight against the
President; but some at least of them
are avowedly irreconcilabIe in their
attitude towards the Speaker and SEN
ator Aldrich, whom they hold respon-
Sibe. the one for the House rules and
the other for the tariff law. There is
practically no prospect of amending
the rules of the House during this SEES
sion and the Indications are strong
that there will be no general effort in
that direction
The principal interest in the out
look centers in the possibility of rail
road legislation. and all hands are
waiting with keen expectancy to see
what recommendations. if any, Mr..
Taft may make on that subject.
Representative Mann has bills pre-
pared on all these points and will pre-
sent them as soon as the message is

A WIRELESS TEST
To Be Made by Cruisers

Will Try Conditions in Both
Tropic and Arctic Regions.
will Sail Thousands Of Miles and
So Pass Next Four Months.

Boston, Dec. 5.-The scout cruisers
Birmingham and Salem, equipped with
the most elaborate wireless outfits ever
placed aboard an American war vessel,
sailed from the Charlestown navy yard
today on cruise which will take them
thousands of miles through tropic seas
complete test of wireless telegraphy
under all conditions of latitude and
climate.
The tests are to be made under the
direction of the navy department and
will extend over four months New
masts were installed and a change
made in deck plans. Fessenden sets,
rated at 10 kilowatts, are to be used
and il the specifications are fulfilled
in all probability this system will be
installed on all the ships of the navy
The specifications call for sending
and receiving messages at least 1000
miles under all conditions and 5000
miles under favorable conditions.
The try outs for the first month will
be along the Atlantic coast from Cape
Cod to Hatteras and the land station
for the entire cruise will be Brant
Rock, Mass.
After a visit to Hampton Roads for
such changes as appear necessary the
cruisers will head for Hamilton. Ber-
muda. then run to Trinidad the Salem
then being 1900 miles astcrn Reach
ing South America early in January
an attempt will be made to reach by
wireless the battleship Connecticut,
then on its way to Guantanamo. From
Trinidad the Birmingham, followed by
the Salem. will go south to the mouth
of the Amazon. Swinging around by
the Canary islands, the cruisers will
run to the Mediares and Gibraltar and
possibly UP through the Mediterranean
and thence to Kiel and the North sea.

COUNTRY DIVIDED.
Great Britain's Political
Campaign Wakes Warmer,
struggle Between Lords and
Commons the Paramount Issue.
Radicals Hold Monster Mass Meet.
ing...Suffragists Active.

London. Dec. 5-The whole of Great
Britain is immersed in the political cam
paign which has been caused by the re-
fusal of the House of Lords to consent
to the budget.
The country is divided into two great
camps. composed of those who support
the Lords action and those who contend
that the House of Commons must have
absolute control of the finances of the
nation. There are, of course, many 9TH
or issues such as tariff reform versus
free trade, but these are being rushed
into the background by the conflict be-
tween the two houses.
While the various local organizations
are busy selecting candidates and pre-
pairing for the contests in their respec-
five districts, the leaders of the great
narties are carrying on a general cam
paign.
The Radicals, who had long foreseen
the fate of their finance bill. are not
allowing the grass to grow under their
feet. In London Saturday afternoon one
of their organizations, the National Dem
ocratic League, held a demonstration as
a protest against the action Of the
Lords. which was one of the most
notable that has ever been held in the
metropolis.
Fully 10000 persons, mostly of the
laboring and artisan classes, gathered
in Trafalgar square and cheered the
Radical speakers, who condemned in I'M
measured terms the members of the
Upper Chamber.
The only divergent note here. as else
where, came from the Suffraists. who
after a term of comparative quiet again
engaged in efforts to break up the Rad
ica meetings. The Trafalgar square
crowd, however, was too great for thelr
efforts to have any effect.
They were more successful at South
port. where by climbing to a roof and
shouting through the skylight, they sue
ceeding in interrupting Winston Spen-
Ger Churchilps meeting, and at Leith,
where, aided by crowds. they created
a diversion by attempting to break up
a meeting.

A REDHor MESSAGE.

Washington, Dec. 5.-PreSident Taft
tonight called Secretary of State Knox
into consultation at the White House
aud the report spread that the topic
under discussion was the matter Of
sending to Congress hot and stingH
ing special message on the imbrogli0
with Nicaragua. Neither the President
nor Mr.. Knox would say anything of
their conference. 1t is regarded as
likely. however, that the Nicaraguan
matter was uppermost and it is also
intimated that the discussion took the
form of outlining a policy that will
cover the whole Central American
country.
So far as actual news was concern
ed, the day was uneventful. The state
department received no advice$ 49, &C
cording to q statement made late this
evening, while the navy department
likewise was without fresh Informal
ton.
Senior Salvador Castillo, the repre-
sentative cf the insurrectionary forces
under Gen Astrada. the President of
the provisional government, received a
message tonight which declared that
Gen. Estrada has left Bluefields and
has taken the field. A decisive battle.
the dispatch continued, is imminent i'll
the vicinity of Rama.
1t is believed in view of the reported
assertions from Zelaya's ranks that
this fight may determine the war. es-
pecially so because of the reports that
Zelayas men are both short of am
munition and in extremtes for food.
