LIVING IN TERROR OF ANARCHISTS Arrest of Innocent Persons by Be- wildered Police. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS sea We he ees PARIS, Feb. 22.—-A supposed bomb was found today in the Galedis Montpensier, Palais Royal. It was taken to the munici- pal laboratory for examination. LONDON, Feb. 22.—The correspondent of the Post at Paris, describing the public nervousness resulting from the frequent bomb outrages, says: A loud sneeze in | any of the cafes or on the boulevards suf- ST fices to cause a general start. A well-known artist of the name of Laveauz was arrested this evening on sus- picion of being an anarchist. The only ground for this suspicion was the fact that he was carrying a parcel. The parcel proved to be an innocent paint box, and the artist Was liberated when he had made an explanation. Ali bearers of parcels are now regarded with suspicion. The police can- not be blamed for this, and they are greatly piqued at their failure to capture Rabardy. A dispatch to the Times trom Paris says: An anarchist of the name of Rivois has been arrested in this city. The London police denounced him to the Paris police as a dan- gerous man and informed them that he was carrying bombs, which he intended to use in blowing up the chamber of deputies. M. Sauzet, a member of the chamber, says that Rivols applied to him for tickets of admis- sion to the chamber, both on Monday and Tuesday. M. Sauzet was suspicious of the man and refused to grant his request. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Vienna says an apparatus has been erected in the reichrath which will enable the president, in case of an outrage, to close the doors of the house automatically. Other precautions are being adopted by the authorities to protect the public buildings. The Times complains of the laxity of English policy in dealing with anarchists, and compares it unfavorably with the Ppromptitude of action exhibited by the French. The Times, Daily News and other papers protest strongly against the government delivering the body cf Bourdin and allow- ing the anarchists freedom to organize a funeral demonstration that would be lkely to promote disturbances, A French electrician named Petit Jean, a close friend of Bourdin, the anarchist who was killed as a result of the prema- ture explosion of a bomb which he was car- rying in Greenwich Park, was arrested today in a workshop situated in the Marylebone district. Petit Jean's father is said to have taken an active part in the commune. TUNIS, Feb. 22—A bomb, with a fuse attached, was found today by the police in the post office. The bomb, which did not explode, is supposed to have been placed there by foreign anarchists. GUATEMALA SUSPENDS PAYMENT. Drop in the Bonds—Dec! Silver the Cause. LONDON, Feb. 22.—Advices received here from Guatemala announce that the Central American republic mentioned has suspend- ed payment, owing to the decline in silver, on its external debts. The news was received in a letter address- ed to the banking firm of Messrs. Martin & Co., by the Guatemalan minister in Paris, Senhor F. Cruse. The announcement was posted in Capel Court, and caused great ex- citement in the city and a decline in Guate- malan bonds. Guatemala external bonds were quoted yesterday at 3S; today they closed at 21. Guatemala internal bonds were quoted yesterday at 40; they closed today at 31. TO DISSOLVE PARLIAMENT. Mr. Gladstone Will She the Country. LONDON, Feb. 22.—The Scotch untonist newspapers give prominence to the state- ment today that all the conservative, lib- eral and unionist election agents have re- ceived instructions to prepare for a disso- lution of parliament within a month. It is also stated that Mr. Gladstone may not stand again for election, and that Sir James Carmichael will be the Gladstontan candidate for Midlothian, Edinburgshire, the seat which Mr. Gladstone has repre- sented in parliament since April, 1880. The Ai y Appeal to trian Emperor Wanted at Paris. LONDON, Feb. .—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Paris says: The French ambassador at Vienna has been instructed to ask Count Von Kalnoky, the Austro- Hungarian foreign minister, to prevail upon Emperor Francis Joseph to visit Paris on his way to the Riviera. Cutting Down Caprivi’s Estimates, LONDON, Feb. 22.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says: The budget com- mittee of the reichstag on Tuesday and yesterday, notwithstanding the govern- ment’s protests, cut down the military estimates in various directions over three million marks. In the urterhaus yesterday Herr Thielen, minister of works, announced that the gov- ernment was willing, in response to the demand of the agrarian party for the aboltion of the sliding scale in railway transportation of cereals from the east to the west of Germany as compensation for the damage w their interests under the new treaty with Russia, to refer the question to the railway committee for its consideration.

Her majesty appeared to be more feeble than usual, and was supported by an Indian attendant. Disappearance of an English Clergy- LONDON, Feb. well-known clergyman, Dr. Williams of Clapham, who has been missing since February 10, and who is said to be on board the steamship Berlin on his way to New York, is known to have been in financial troubles re- cently.

MISS POLLARD’S MOCK MARRIAGE. Squire Tinsley Denounces Hawkinw Testimony Fi Spectal Dispatch to The Evening Star. FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 22.—The depost- tions taken in the Pollard-Breckinridge case | yesterday had reference to Miss Pollard’s early character, and was in the main cor- roborative of the testimony of other wit- nesses. Tom Schofield established Miss Pol- lard’s age at thirty-one years. There was also testimony that Tom Tinsley, and not Alex Julian, was the bridegroom in the fam- ous mock marriage. Justice S. M. Tinsley, who had been sum- moned as a witness, wanted to be examined, and vigorously insisted upon this, but his deposition was not taken, and in conse- quence he prefiared a card denying the statement of Catesby Hawkins, a witness for Col. Breckinridge, who said he was present at Justice Tinsley’s residence, and | knew that after a mock marriage cere- mony Miss Pollard and Young Julian were taken and put to bed together. Tinsley de- nounces this as a lie. He says Mr. Haw- kins never w at.his house in his life. The alleged mock marriage, he says, was a mere joke and a farce, which has been dis- torted into a scandal and slander. ee OCCUPATION OF BLUEFIELDS. Why the Mosquito Flag W: Ordered Down and the Nicaraguan CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Feb. 22.—A letter under date of February 13 was received last evening by relatives from H. G. Higley of Bluefields, Mosquito Nation, in which it is stated that the commissioners of Nica- ragua ordered the Mosquito flag down and the Nicaragua flag hoisted in Bluefields, which is now occupied by 600 soldiers. Though no shots had been fired and no demonstration made, many natives had taken refuge in the woods. Accompanying the letter is a copy of an official proclamation, bearing date of February 12, issued by Rigoberto Cabezas, intendenta general of the Atlantic coast of the Nicaragua government. The procla- mation cites that as the chiefs of the Mos- quito reservation have refused the right of Nicaragua to put forces in their terri- tory, opposed openly the mobilization of troops and categorically denied the sov- ereignty of Nicaragua, military occupa- tion of Bluefields is ordered and it is de- clared in a state of siege. The proclamation decrees that the authorities of the Mosqui- to government shall be ignored, that the commissioners of the republic will organize according to necessity a regime of ad- ministration and police and that crafts eannct leave the city or port without a passport, —_—— --—_ ELUDED THE PINKERTONS. “Buffalo” Costello, e Fighter, capes From Chicago.

Water as a Vehicle of Infection. “The importance of water,” he said, “as a vehicle of infectious agents, especially those of typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera and the more common diarrhoeal and dysenteric troubles, has been so thoroughly set ferth by Dr. Smart, dn his recent lecture before this league, that I need not spend any time I therefore pass over the various calamities of recent years which might be cited as illustrations of the dangers of polluted water supplies and limit my remarks to a few facts con- it is a note- worthy fact that the water which percolaies through the porous strata of the solid and collects as ground water has been deprived of bacteria in its downward progress by the filtering power of the earth. When wells are dug the ground water which collects in them receives bacteria either from the sur- face or from the uppermost layers of the soil, and the sanitary quality of any given well water will depend on the* care with which surface contamination is excluded in With surface water, such as that of streams, rivers and lakes, the conditions are somewhat differ- in bringing it before you now. cerning bacteria in water. the construction of the weil. ent. The purest surface water of the wi derness contains a certain number of bac- teria, derived from the surface of the soil and from animal and vegetable organisms For the same stream there is a remarkable uniformity in the number of bacteria, if we except periods of rains, and this number is, as a rule, pro- portional to the amount of sewage a stream The enormous increase of bac- teria in rivers into which cities drain their refuse has been amply illustrated in recent Some investigations of the effect of the sewage of Vienna on the Danube are On reaching Vienna the water of the Danube 2,000 bacteria in a cubic (it would take two cubic centi- meters, the speaker explained, to fill a small undergoing decomposition. receives, years. worthy of mention in this connection. contains about centimeter, thimble).

Washington's Water Supply. “It will be at once appreciated that a stream receiving the sewage of a large city will always receive a number of disease germs, and if the water is taken from such a stream the typhoid mortality will always be high and occasionally blossoni out in The relative purity of our own supply hes been a subject of comment Unfortunately, there are no data on record which give us any in- formation of the bacteriology of the water epidemic form. for many years. as it enters the conduit. My own obser tions were made on tap water in the city, and as there is always more or less de- struction of bacteria going on in the reser- voir and conduits, figures obtained from the | examipation of tap water are not to be compared with those obtained from sam-| ples taken directly from the stream. Just at present it would be very desirable to know the difference in the number of bac- teria entering the conduit and those which For after the com- pletion of the improvements now under way | we shall wish to know what difference they are making in our water supply and what beneficial effect is being exercised by the | t undesirable | appear in our houses. new reservoir in eliminating bacteria. “About eight years ago I became very much interested in watching the great and ctuations in the turbidity of Po- | wate during the winter ains and winds.

Bacteriology, it is true, is more or less handicapped in the search for pathogenic bacteria in water, but a skilled observer can easily detect the amount of sewage pollution by the applica- tion of methods which bring out the bac- teria of intestinal origin. “In casting about for other possible chan- | nels of typhoid the Sanitary League has After some preliminary bacteriological work I feel no hesitation in saying that some contain intestinal bacteria, and that these | must first be ciosed up before the Potomac | is to be credited with most of the typhoid | in Washington. I think that it is possi- | ble to separate the good wells from the | bad, and by a periodic examination of the | fermer the poorer classes may still have the refreshing draught of cold water in midsummer. To go back once more to the Potomac water, I fully indorse the necessi- ty—so well defined by Dr. Smart—of an im- provement in the supply looking toward a thorough sedimentation. If there is one difficulty with Potomac water which is a serious one, it is this, that we drink the water soon after it has left the river. If we note, for a moment, the behavior of disease germs in water, we shail see the reason for this serious condition. The known patho- genic bacteria, without exception, find wa- ter of ordinary purity not only too poor in nutritive substances for their multiplica- tion, but even dest@uctive to them. A more or less rapid disintegration goes on, so that the longer the period elapsing between in- fection of the water and its consumption the less dangerous it becomes. In reservoirs the bacteria tend to settle to the bottom, and the deposit, therefore, may be danger- cus for some time after the superuatant water is harmless. The desirability of leav- ing this sediment undisturbed, theretore, as | was insisted oa by Dr. Smart, needs no further discussion. I refrain from quoting figures given by various investixators con- cerning the vitality of disease germs in water, because the figures y within wide mits as the outcome of experiments made under different conditions. It seems that such bacteria as typhoid and Asiatic cholera will remain alive at least seven days. So far as the absolute number of bacteria in Potomac water may be considered a guide, our water, when free from suspended mat- ter, contains not many more bacteria than water, and only two or three times as many as water derived from springs. With the evidence to be obtained from the examina- tion of river water directly, we may, per- haps, be able to state more pos it compares with other streams. MIL di Infection. Dr. Smith spoke at some length also of milk as a vehicle of infection. Millions of bacteria, he said, had been found in a cubic centimeter of milk. Among the dis- eases originating in the body of miich | cows tuberculosis is at present receiving most attention. In the more advanced Stages of this disease and occasionally | in earlier stages the udder may become affected and discharge tubercle bacilli into the milk. There was no reason to believe that milk is responsible for much of the tuberculosis of adult life, but in the case of infants and children it is not at all im- probable that tuberculosis is introduced in this way. The dissemination of typhoid fever has been repeatedly iraced to milk, the clue being by the coincidence between the distribution of the disease and the route of certain mtik dealers. After re- ferring to other means of conveying dis- ease Dr. Smith, in concluding, said: “If I were asked what channels of in- fection it is in the power of every one of us to close up, both as a protection to ourselves and our families, 1 should sug- gest the following: | “1, We should, first of all, not move into houses the recent Sanitary history of which is not known to us.
