This league it | is hoped to make cooxtensive with the limits of | | the District, for every citizen is invited to | | join it. | Its plan is tocarry on among the people «| | work of education on sanitary matters and to | do an izamediate practical work by a system of inspection. Dr. J. 8 Billings. the eminent | sanitary rt, who was among the first per- | | Sons cousulted with regard to the organization, | | gave the general plan his app-oval and made | jmany useful suggestions which were incor | porated in the detailed scheme of the league. Mr. Charles L.

He expressed the opinion that | there was but smail danger of the chol rae | coming to Washingion. Tho greatest risk, in his opimion, to which Washington was exposed | was thatof the contamination of thi y from passing railrond trains river, and this was one which an organization | proposed should look out for.

A form of constitution sug- | gested by Dr. Billings was considered and after | someamendments adopted. This constitution sets forth the objects of the organization, for | which the name, the Sanitary League of the | District of Columbia, was adopted, as follow | “The objects of this association chail be th | improvement of the heclth of the citizens of the District of Columbia by the collection of | data with regard to existing or threatened dau- | | gers to the public health of the city, the diffu- | son of information with regard to the best | nieans of removing or preventing such causes | of danger, and by aiding as far as possible the | @ authorities in their efforts to im- prove the sanitary condition of the District | and to prevent the introduction or spread of ‘The constitution provides that the affairs of the league shall be managed by a council com- posed of the officers and twenty-one members | to bs elected annually by the members of the | league. It is made the duty of this council to | devise plans for promoting the objects of the | azsociation and to execute them, to make | necessary by-laws, to elect members of the as- sociation and in other ways to direct the work of the league. Under this constitution at the meeting held last night the league was formally | when she left hit vide for five committees, each to con- sist of five members, as follows: A sanitary committee. whose duties it rhall be to draw up sanitary rules and regulations to be used in the work of the league, to put in shape informetion on sanitary subjects for public di semination, and to prepare the instructions to be carried out by the league in its work of local committee on statistics, to whom shall be referred for compilation al rts made and data collected by committees of the league. Acommittee on printing and anditing, who ball Bave charge of all printing done ty Ieaguo and shall audit ali bilis.

Each chairman of such locai committee shail appoint, subject to the approval of the council, us many members upon his committee as may bo found necessary to thoroughly cover his subdistrict, square by square, if pract cable. The locai committees shall have direc: tion of the league's werk of mspection and in- struction in their respective subdistricts, shall carry out the plans proscribed by the council and’ make reports of the work to the council through their chairmen. ‘dhe chairman of the committee on promo- tion shall divide bis committes into two seo- tions, one to have special charge of the pro- motion of the objects of the league among the white, the other among the colored residents of the city. Each section is empowered to en- large itself by the addition, with the approval of the council, of members of the league not members of the” council. ‘The ‘committee on co-operation is also authorized to enlarge its membership in the same manner. A motion was carried constituting the presi- dent and two vice presidents 2 committees to make the division of the District into sub- districts. In response to inquiries Dr. Billings gave some information as to the character of the work to be performed by the local com- mittees provided for. He said that citizens who were not sanitary experts would easily see where houses were crowded together, where ground was low, where drainage was insufficient and | places that were distinguished by the presence of decaying or putrid matter, and to note other general conditions. He raid 1 well to note ihe general character of a neigh- borhood as to sanitary conditions, the looks of the houses, the appearance of the chil: dren playing in the gutters and the absence of sewer connections. As to the mat- ter of disinfection, Le said that the directions to be given were so simple that they might all well be written on one side of a piece of note paper. The miik of lime, he said, was ax good as any: thing that could be obtained; in other words, there was a wonderful amount of virtue in just plain whitewash. Thir, he said, wouid ac expensive disinfectants. It was decided that the president should at once appoint the various comaittees and that the letiers of aj pointment zo the chairmen of local committe | should incinde aJetter giving general instruc- tions from Dr. Billings. ss FIVE DIVORCES GRANTED.

Some leaders, | supported by the “Honolulu Rifles,” a military ation of whites, made these demands of Kaiakaua, demands which they themselves never expected to have granted, and upon the refusal of which the king was to be deposed and a repub- | lican form of government declared, with one of | | their own number as president, But Kalakaua | yielded. He was a good-natured, easy-going, | indolent sovereign and granted a new constitu | tion which abrogated all his own rights and privileges, and virtually made him a figuro- en jokalant, the lately deposed queen, is more intelligent and of a more determined nature than was her brother, and she wished to restore the other constitution with the rights of the sovereign. ‘This brought about dissatisfac- tion which culminated in her dethronement. Thope that our government will not be too hasty in this annexation boom, but will defer to the wishes of the Kanakas. If annexation must be, though, let it be to the United States rather than to any other power. 8.
