Miss Hallowell, of Philadel | phia; Miss Blow, of St. Louis, and Miss Pingrel, of Boston, were appointed on’ the committee, THIRTY-TWO STATES REPRESENTED. ‘The president announced that Mrs, Hart, the corresponding secretary; reported that thirty- two states were represented at the conference, taking in all 402 delegates, OBJECTIONABLE IMMIGRATION, Aresolution was offered by Col. Bersley, of North Carolina, which had for its object an ex- pression of opinfon by the conference that Congress should take some more effective measures than any now in| force to prevent the immigration of | improper persons to this country from the other continents. A long discussion followed the resolution, the object of which was gencrally approved but the ayvisability of its adoption by the conference was questioned upon the | grounds that it was not the habit of the confer- ence to pass that class of resolutions, Mr. Simon Wolf, of the District of Columbia, approved of employing the U.S. consulsabroad | in the suppression of improper immigration. | He said that he knew from experience that our | consuls abroad generally went away tor their health and did no work, and he thought th might make themselves useful by inspecti immigrants from their ports intry. The resolution was referred to a committee on emigration to be appointed, Mr. Sanborn, of Massachusetts, then read the report of the committee on statistics, in which were statist! tables giving all possible infor- mation concerning the Juvenile reformatories throughout the country. CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS, Mr. Johnson, of Cincinnati, presented the re- port of the committee on charity organiza- tions. The report presented as the cardinal ideas of charity organization a thorough in- vestigation, followed by prompt remedial relief, hearty co-operations of all charity organiza- Uons and the aid of volunteer visitors. Forty- four reports from yarious societies had becn received. Of these 44 societies 40 cover the whole field of their various cities; only one of the number reports periect co-operation of the charities in their district. Only three cities report perfect co-operation of their churches in this charitable work. The report took the rounds that the ineftletiveness of many chari- ble organizations was due to their neglect of records and registration, ‘The report was dis- cussed for a few minutes, 56,000 BosToN TRAMPS, A paper on the “Boston tramps,” by Mr. Ring, of Boston, was read. The paper said that from the fact that over 56,000 tramps were lodged in the Boston station houses in a single year con- vinced the Boston people that some other pro- vision must be made for the homeless wan- derers. A lodging-house was established, where the tramps were given a. bath, “tagged,” and sent to sleep on a bed numbered like his “tag.” They are allowed topay for this luxury by doing some sort of work. ‘The greater number of lodgers were young men. The hardened old tramp who hangsabout drinking saloons avoids the Boston lodging-house and bath, except on very bad nights, ‘The number ot lodgers dur- | disappe: | that he hi THE FISHY SMELL IN THE WATER. What Gen. Meigs Says About It—Caused by 2 Vegetable Growth. A STAR reporter visited Gon. M.C. Meigs, under whose supervision the District wate: works were built and who has devoted a great deal of thought and study to the subject of pure water supply, to get his opinion with regard to the disagreeable odor whic bus pervaded the Potomac water, After being told the object of the repo: isit, the general said: “A good many ye > [first heard of this fishy odor as present in Cochituate aqueduct, Boston, That dr ochituate, ries, ina sandy soll.

It was at the request of the District commis- stoners that Dr. Townshend, health officer, and Drs, Baype, McKim, Magruder and Klein- chmidt, police surgeons, yesterday visited and examined the receiving reservoir, The object of their investigation was to ascertain the cause or causes of the unpleasant odor which has attached to the Potomac water as distribu- ted throug! fee. pipes of tte city for some days Bast: STA reporter to-duy Dr. Townshend sat it the committee of physi- clans took boats and explored the two streams which are tributary tothe reservoir. “The lit- tle branch at the lower end of the reservoir, op- posite the conduit road,” said the doctor, “amounts to nothing, It proceeds from a small spring only a short distance up, and is too tri- Vial “to do any harm.

We tor | Mi!l creek, which we also explored, as far up as we could go, is a much larger stream. There is not_a house anywhere slong the ‘creek. Of course, we could’ not get up to the sources of these streams, but we did go far enough to sée that people are not living along thelr banks, We took two samples of water from each creck, one sampie from the mouth of the conduit above where it discharges into the reservoir, and one each reservoir—the upper and lower. We intend to take some samples from spigots here in the city, and all these will be analyzed by competent chemists. It has been said that the drainage from Brooks’ hotel ried into the reservoir, but that — Is not correct, It 1s ail’ carried In the opposite direction. Of course in time of rain a great deal of storm water empties into the upper reservoir through these creeks.” Dr. Townshend said the committee will wait for the analyses of the samples of water taken by them before preparing thet report. They did not look into the question of the water being tainted by vegetable growth on the sur- tace, Dr. Townshend to-day received a letter from Gen. Meigs calling his attention to this phase.of the question, and that will be consid- ered. ‘The doctor still holds to his theory, that decomposed fish sfiawn from the reservolfs has had much to do with imparting to the water the odor complained of. CHEMIST DESMEDT ANALYSES THE WATER. District Chemist De Smedt has made an analysis of the Potomac water taken at his lab- oratory, on 4g street, in the District govern- ment buildings, and finds: Free ammonia 0.15 millogrammes per liter; parts per million, albu- is car- moid, 0. do-, do.; mitrates, traces; chlorine, do. He ‘stat “I now compare this ‘is with my latest analysis of May 28, We find May 28, ammonia, 0.08; June 9, free ammonia, 0.15. Almost double the quan- tity. This might be attributed to the rainfalls since that date. Rain water containing an average of 0.2 parts Re million, May 28, albu- moid ammonia, 0.100; June 9, albumoid am- monia, 0.075; diminished in quantity, parts per million, 0.025. So, notwithstanding the fishy smell, which Ithink is disappearing, the Po- tomac water is organically purer now than May 28.” | a Affairs in West Washington.

Gladstone Sti The Con- servatives W iy Trying to Keep Lord Churchill Out of it. Loxpox, June 10.—Mr. Gladstone still re- mains in London. It is believed that the queen will return from Balmoral on Saturday. The Standard announces “by authority” that the conservatives, if entrusted by the queen with the formation of a. new ministry, will undertake the duty. TRYING TO GET RID OF LORD CHURCHILL. ‘The chief difficulty encountered, by the con- servatives in their discussions regarding the formation of a ministry, says the Pall Mall Ga- zelte, 1s the problem what to do with Lord Ran- dolph Churchill. He claims to have done much in the work of destroying the liberal govern- ment, and demands his share of the spoils, It is apparent that the older tory leaders regard him as troublesome, and somewhat dangerous to have around in national councils. ‘The Gazette intimates that a polite effort will be made to get rid of him if the conservatives forma government. He will, it is said, be re- ested to go to Ireland, if not to succeed the rl of Spencer as lord Héutenant, then as chief secretary. The sort oftalk which is already being applied to the young leader is something Iike tnis:“You certainly prefer duty to mere ane bition; therefore you should accept this danger- ous post, Dare you accept it? If you.accept, then whether you sueceed or fall, you will at least e You possess the great qualities o1 Entrepidity and self-sacrifice, which are among the greatest gifts possessed by popular states- men.” Lord Randolph is very susceptible to flattery, and he might prove # great Irish governor.
