Out of 75,753 prospective emigrants examined between April and De- comber 1,219 were rejected for various reasons, ‘The consul says these preliminary examinations have been satisfactory in every way.

What Treasury Officials Say of Mr. Oath- waits Measure. The question of tho possibility of transmit- | ting infectious diseasos by means of paper money brought before Congress by Mr. Outh- waite's bill is being followed up by the | Treasury Department. For some time past the paper money sent to the treasury for redemption bas becn o great that the force in the r@iemption divisions of United States Treasurer Nebeker’s office has been com- pelled to work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to keep up With tho current business. The danger of infection from dirty paper money has not been exaggerated if recent re- | ports are correct. A bactertological analysis of the bank notes of a Spanish bank in Havana, made recently, showed 10,000 microbes on some of the notes. “Eight pathogenic species were encountered, including those of diphtheria and tuberculosis. Mr, A. B. Hopburn and United States Treas- urer Nebeker both recognize the peril from this source and concur in the opinion thet more adequate means should be provided for keeping clean paper in circulation. Controller Hepburn, speaking more par- ticularly of national bank notes, #aid today that ational banks are required to keep a fund | equal to 5 per cent of their circulation on de- posit with the United States treasurer for the | Purpose of redeeming all notes when presented. | “Any bank, state or national, or any individ- | ual,” he coutinted. “may send national bank | notes in eumns of 1,000 or any multiple thereof | to the treasury for redemption, the express charges being paid by the government in the first instance. Upon receipt of such notes they are immediately redeemed by a treasurer's check | sent by mail according t8 the direction of the contignor. Annually the total expense of the redemption of national bank notes is assesred upon ail the banks pro ruta, according to the amount each bauk’s notes redeemed during the year, thus reimbursing the government, Hence ar individual or any corporation can have national bank notes redeemed without expense to them at any time. ‘There is no need of having unclean national bank currency, and in fact very little complaint exists in reference to national bank notes. The amount of national bank notes outstanding for | controller redeemed and destroy $49,777,063 national bank notes, rd to United States notes (gree d silver certifica deemable only in coin and treasury notes, the express charges must be borne by the parti consigning the aame for redemption. It is this nse that keeps unit money in circulat While the United States government nishes §3 per cent of paper currency in cireula- tion it is by no meana as liberal in redeeming | its own money, unfit for circulation and public | use, a8 it'tequires the national banks to be. ‘This is wrong. Ifthe government is to sup- ply the people with paper money it should make such money clean and free from con- ion and infection. otmasters in all money order offices might be authorized to receive and cencel by stamp- ing unfit money in limited amounts, and with | ‘oper safeguards, and forward the same by reg- | | istered mail freeof postage. It wouldcost the con- | signor nothing, and tho government little or nothing. Then this currency should be d last year redeemed by draft upon receipt and | verification. In @hat way a_ convenient | facility would be afforded tothe public to provide themselves with clean money | and the government would simply assume a re- sponsibility which properly attends the func- tions of issuing paper money. Up to 1888 Congress made an appropriation to defray the expense of redeeming paper money unfit for circulation, In come form that responsibility should again be assumed. i a aba actos oe Typhus Fever in Mexico. ‘The surgeon general of the Marine Hos- pital wervice today received a report from Sanitary Inspector Alexander, U.S.M.H.S., jat El Paso, Tex. in regard to typhus |fever now ‘ranging in Mexico. ‘The in-| |epector states that typhus and smallpox! are epidemic at Zacatecas and other pvints in the interior of Mexico.

And be believed | that. when the ‘i'reasury Department haa done all it could, and when the pending bili | should have become a jaw, it would be ex- | pedient for the present Congress to go far- | ther and to pass the bill which had been re- ported by the committee on immigration for the entire suspension of slien immigration for one year. Mr. Chandler then proceded to read extracts from the statements of leading physicians of New York as to the imiinency of an invasion of cholera during the coming spring and summer, | AS TO DR. HAMILTON, | Mr. Vest (Mo.) inquired whether the opinion of Dr. Hamilton was incinded in the paper from which Mr. Chandler was reading, nd, when he was informed that it was not, he | spoke of having met Dr. Hamilton in a railroad | car and of the doctor having brought up | the subject and stated that there was no. neces- | sity for excluding immigrants; thai the cholera germ was fully understood by the advanced thought of the medical profession, and that it could be controlled. Dr. " Hamilton, ho said, had further expressed the appre- hension that if the bill to suspend immigration | became x law it would result in the worst class | migrants, the filthiest and most diseased, | coming in throng Alnek, Mr. Harris (Tenn) interrupted Mr. Vest to | say that Dr. Hamilton decidedly in favor of the pending immigration bill. Mr. Vest—Which excludes immigrants? Mr. Harris—By no menus. There is, how- ever, an amendment pending, but not yet acted upon, which gives to the President authority to suspend immigration when he is satisiied that there is an exigency requiring such suspension. The Senator is addressing himself to a not now under consideration. Mr. Vest—I was addressing myself to the re- marks of the Senator from New Hampshire. | Dr. Hamilton made that statement to me, and, | ashe hax had the control of our quarantine regulations for a number of years, both under | democratic and republican administrations, am disposed to give his opinion great weight. IMMINENT DANGER OF CHOLERA, ‘Mr. Chandler said he had been showing that there was imminent danger of cholera during | the present year. Dr. Hamilton did not differ | from the doctors whose opinions he had | been reading and did not underrate its dan-| ger in the least. Only Dr. Hamilton believed — as many of the other doctors did—that it might be kept in check, and kept ont of the country, without suspending immigration for one year. Mr. Vest—That is all that Isaid. Dr. Ham- | itton stated that there was a necessity for strict | aarantine regulations, but not for the exelu- sion of immigrants. Mr. Chandler—Dr. Hamilton does not differ | from the physicians I have quoted as to the | danger of cholera during the coming spring | and summer unless the most rigid appropriate methods for exclusion are resorted to.

Senator Cameron has reported favorably from the committee on naval affairs, » bil which will correct an apparent anomaly in the law which provides for the appointment of a judge advocate general of the navy.

Under the present law, as construed by the accounting officers of the treasury, an officer of | the navy serving as judge advocate general is entitled to the shore pay of a captain in the y only, i. e., $3,500 per annum. This bill, if it becomes a law, will give to the judge advocate | general of the navy. when an officer of the | navy, as at present. $4,500 per annum, which, as above stated, is the pay of a colonel in the marine corps, there being, under existing law, | no allowance of quarters or commutation there- for for naval officers.
