Our National Plague.
From the New York Tribune

CIVIH INC 4NtW IOrk 1rIDUne.
Another rehearsal of an old story was
given yesterday in an authoritative ad-
dress before the Association of Life In
surance Presidents, when DIR. McLaugh.
lin of the United States public health
service practically fixed upon this coun-
try the reproach of having in typhoid
fever a sort of national plague. Perhaps
that disease does prevail in other lands
as much as here. but 1t certainly does
not in all OF them, and the contrast with
some OF them strongly indicates that In
no country of a civilization comparable
with our own is that deadly pestilence
anything like SO common as 1t Is here.

Admirable Advancement.

Oh. not SO very long ago
The rockets filled the sky.
Our patriotic zeal to show.
We made the fireworks fly.
And on Thanksgiving day We ate
In a becoming mood.
Each pausing in his mind to state
Some cause for gratitude.
The turkey scarce has been consumed
Before, with joyous song.
The festal greeting Is resumed
AS Christmas comes along.
It's Happy New Year pretty soon;
Then April First appears.
The world goes swinging to a tune
That dances out the years.
Forever, just ahead is seen
Some dawning holiday,
With just enough hard work between
To emphasize the play.

OUTLAWS HARASS MEXICO
Brigands from Insurgent Army
Plumber Many Districts.
From Tie Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, July 25.-Reports OF the &C.
tiyities Of tho rebels In Mexico reaching
the Department OF State to-day indicate
widespread depredations by marauders,
but the consular agents say that the oper-
atoms lack organization. The State OF
Tobasco is the scene of numerous depre-
dations, but the bands Of brigands are
widely scattered. There is no political
significance In the raids OF the lawless
element, and It is apparent that there Is
no leadership behind the pillaging. No
Americans have yet been molested.
The consul at Frontera has advised
the department that his district Is quiet.
but In Durango the situation 10 somewhat
alarming. Many bands Of outlaws are
plundering In unprotected localities. The
rebels are reported to be active In Velar-
dena, although no serious depredatons
have been committed.
General Orozco's forces In Sonora are
not making much headway In the que
rllla warfare, as the federal soldiers are
pursuinR Orozco's men, OF whom great
many have been killed.
The War Departments messages to-day
do not show any change In the conditions
along the border. Vigilance or the Amer
lean soldiers is preventing smuggling, and
most OF the disgruntled Orozco deserters
have crossed the Rio Grande and disap'
peared in the United States or have fed

FINGERS BETRAY THIEF
Hand Print Convicts Him Of
Stealing Pharaoh Amulet.

Chicago, July 25.-Finger print evil
dence, the latest addition to the official
thief catcher's equipment, was the
basis Of a verdict of guilty returned to-
day by jury against John c. Hartzell,
accused Of stealing from the museum
OF the University Of Chicago q golden
amulet owned by Pharaoh $500 years
ago.
"A professor of science is man who
can sec a mosquito on the Masonic
Temple scratch his back with his left
hind leg, but cannot see the temple"
said Hartzelrs attorney, ]. F. Geetlng.
"If a man Is crazy and is learned, he
is a scientist; IL a man is crazy and is
not learned, he is just crazy"
The lawyer said 1t was ridiculous to
contend that tho amulet which was
stolen belonged TO King Menes Of
Egypt and that it was $500 years old.
He also attacked the finger print sys-
TEN, and declared that the liberty Of a
human being was too sacred TO be
trified with on a system Of that kind.

OPPOSE SUBWAY ROUTE
Danger to Property, Park Place
Owners Assert.

Property owners along the route OF the
proposed Park Place, William and clarhe
streets subway route met yesterday
afternoon at the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company offices and adopted a
recommendation that the proposed route
be changed or abandoned.
The report was made by a committee
composed OF Augustus II. Heeley, vice
president Of the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company; A. II. Titus, vice-preSi-
dent Of the National City Bank; Felix II.
Warburg, Of Kuhn, Loeb g. Co.; j. Ed
wards Wykoff, representing the Royal In
surance Company; Eldon Bisbee, repre-
senting the Bank OF America, and Lloyd
p. Striker, representing the Lords Court
Building owners
According 70 the report adopted, II will
be impossible to construct the route with
out grave danger TO tho property adult
ting. In the event that the route be not
aba ndoned, 81 was the sense OF the re-
port that steps should be taken to have
the work done In such a manner that
the attendant dangers be reduced to
minimum and the property owners pro-
tected az far as possible from loss
Chairman WILCOX of the Public Ser
vice Commission said yesterday that
there was nothing analogous In the con-
dtions existing now and when the pres
ent subway was built. Engineers had
gained great experience in the construc-
( ton OF subways. He intiinated that II
was possible that objection 20 the route
came from persons who owned buildings
built on pyramid" foundations that ex-
tended on city property.

publican bill revising the wool schedule
in accordance with the report OF the
Tariff Board. Immediately the Demo-
Gratis became panic stricken, while
many OF the insurgents gave evidence
OF Indignation Nevertheless, the bill
was adopted by vote OF 81 to 81 In
committee OF the whole. only to be re-
jected later in the Senate.
Although this step greatly discom-
fited the Democrats, Senator La Fol-
lette showed equal reluctance to per-
NIT the passing Of the Republican bill,
and he began Immediately a series OF
conferences whereby he renewed the
alliance between the Democrats and
the insurgents Of last year, and thus
succeeded in efecting the passage of
his own bill Of year ago.
Talk for Political Effect.
The voting began after several hours
OF discussion, during which orators pre-
scented 70 deserted galleries and an ali
but empty chamber arguments obvi-
ously designed for political effect.
Senator simmons declared, with a
yehemence that echoed long in the
vacant recesses Of the chamber, that
the Democratic party intended TO save
tho people from the burden OF pro-
tectlve tariff.
Senator Cummins, who submitted the
bill framed by the late Senator Dolli-
YER as a substitute for the Democratic
measure, insisted that 1t afforded L
sufficient measure OF protection. This
was defeated by vote Of 81 to IA, the
regular Republicans and Democrats
uniting against It.
Senator Poindexter charged that the
regular Republicans, as represented by
the Finance Committee, had not car
ried out the pledges Of the Republican
platform by refusing 10 do anything
at all. This led TO Senator Penrose'5
presentation OF the bill which had been
approved by the Finance Committee.
Senator Lodge made an effort to save
the Tariff Board, and offered an amend
ment providing for It's continuance, but
1t was defeated by a vote of 80 TO 81.
Senator McCumber sought to add to
the bill a provision repeating the Cana
dian reciprocity act. to which he has
always been consistently opposed, but
his amendment was lost by vote OF
SO to 30, seven insurgents voting against
the report.
Finally. the La Toilette substitute
was adopted BIZ vote Of 80 to S6, and
the final passing OF the bill was ac-
compllshed by a vote OF 40 to IS.
The measure now goes to conference,

that q group Of Turkish military off,
..rs had lodged a demand for the dis
solution Of the chamber.
This announcement provoked uproar-
ous scenes. The demand reached the
president in the form OF letter bear
ing the seal Of the Military League,
and Was couched in vigorous language.
"Your evil labors in committee and
nsrliapent," the letter read, have
sone much harm. We do not wish to
stain our hands in your soiled blood,
but we warn you that the army and
N. people demand dissolution OF the
chamber. Failing compliance with this
demand within forty-eight hours we
will do what Is needed.
Violent speeches were made by sew

thew would not move except at the
mint of the bayonet- Tie Minister Of
War. Na1im Pacha, in behalf OF the
Cabinet. and protesting that he was
not aware Of the existence OF the
league announced that the government
would endeavor 10 discover and punish
The authors Of the letter. The cham
Der then arose.
The expiration Of the forty-eight
hours of grace is awaited with the

that the Grand Vizier, Ghazi Moukhtar

night.
Meanwhile tho leaders of tho Com

strength of their adherents in the army
In readiness for a counter-revolution.
The Military Leagues demand that thu
Turkish Chamber OF Deputies be dissolved
Ia based on the contention that the House
