CONTEST OVER THE SENATORSHIP Mr. Sherman Probably Not to Go Into the Cabinet. A DEMOCRAT MAY WIN Correspondence of the Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, November 21,1396. Ohio .politicians. are wondering whether the surprise of thirty years will continue until it ceases longer to be a surprise. The surprise is to have two republicans in the United States Senate. This political gen- eration has never known the like. Even the graybeards search their memories for the incidents when there were two Senators for a national administration to consult in distributing the patrorage. Sherman and Foraker as joint trustees for the state sug- gest a host of possible complications. One is that dissensions in the party may arise so that when Senator Sherman's successor comes to be chosen it will be done by a democratic legislature and the old order will be restored. Republican leaders in public deplore the tendency to open up the fight for the sen- atorskip now. They are full of honeyed professions about its bad effect. In pri- vate they are bending all their energies for the struggle. Foraker’s election to the Sen- ate and McKinley's election to the presi- dency have not ended the factional con- tests in Ohio. Whether Senator Foraker and the administration get along well to- gether or not there will be a fight for the senatorship. Ohio has too many able and ambitious men for one of the great prizes of public life te be won without effort. oo draws the prize will have earned it. z The General Assumption. The general assumption is that Senator Foraker will seek to name his own col- league, and that he will want a new man, probably Governor Bushnell. “Grand old John Sherman,” as Foraker used to call him, blocks the road to advancement for Gov. Bushnell and for others. If he is a candidate for re-election his age and his eminent public services will not alone be sufficient to carry the party majority in the legislature. He wil! have to go out and electioneer like the younger men who want his place. Senator Foraker and Gov. Bush- nell have the complete party machinery of the state with them. They turned out Mc- Kinley’s followers just as thoroughly as McKinley had turned out the Foraker people. Now they are in a position to reap whatever advantage may be had from pos- session of a state machine when the na- tional administration may be turned against them. it is premature to anticipate a rupture between Senator Foraker and President McKinley. In spite of the incitements to tgouble, so much is at stake that the Sen- ator may be forced into a place wnere he will give the administration a passive sup- port, and perhaps his active aid. The mass- es of the Ohio republicans, divided as they are in their local affairs, have a feeling that the country is entitled to be spared having their state affairs thrust into na- tional affairs. This sentiment is likely to become so strong that neither Senator nor President will care to antagonize it. Har- mony is possible at Washington with a tacit understanding that Ohio issues are to be fought out on their own merits. How Good Feeling Might Prevail. It is stated that good feeling may prevail right along by Major McKinley taking Sen- ator Sherman into the cabinet and leaving the senatorship to be fought out on open ground. Some of Senator Foraker’s friends themselyes have suggested this arrange- ment, and they take much credit to them- selves for the suggestion. Governor Bush- nell would be willing to take his chances with all the other candidates and would be pretty certain to succeed. It is the shadow of Senator Sherman that bars his way to the Senate. The trouble with this arrange- ment, however, is that Major McKinley won’t make up his cabinet simply for the purpose of influencing the choice of a Sen- ator in Ohio or any other state. Anxious as he unquestionably is for harmony in Ohio, there is a line beyond which he will not advance to secure it, and this line is the senatorship. The Star correspondent has reason to be- lieve that Senator Sherman is not a proba- bility for Major McKinley's cabinet, and that all the talk about him in that connec- tion is without his sanction. He will be treated with the highest marks of consid- eration. No appointment which would be distasteful to him—such, for instance, as that of General Alger to the War Depart- ment—will be made. His counsels will be sought by the administration, and the con- fident belief is that he will prove one of its stanchest supporters. But this is all out- side the cabinet and in his position as a Senator from Ohio. Will Sherman Retire? With the probability that Senator Sher- man will not go into the cabinet the ques- ‘tion agitating the Ohio republicans is whether at the close of his present term he will make a dignified exit from the stage of public life, or whether he will want to continue on it for another six years. If he decides to retire many handsome things will be said by Senator Foraker’s follow- ers about him. He will then be in reality to them “grand old John Sherman. But if he doesn’t retire they will seek to retire him. Those who understand him _ best think that Senator Sherman will hardly look upon seventy-five as the age when his faculties unfit him for the public service, in which his life has been spent. Without recalling Gladstone or Bismarck he has only to look-across to his neighbors, Sena- tors Morrill and Palmer. His friends will endeavor to have him make up his mind early, because this time they know that he cannot afford to wait until the legislature is chosen. Whenever he has gone into a fight Senator Sherman’s vigorous methods have confounded his opponents, who have invariably underestimated his hold on the people of the state. It Is so long back that nobody remembers the circumstances, yet there was once a time when Charles Fos- ter, then in the height of his power, was thought to have a majority of the legisla- ture. But before the time for the caucus came Foster had withdrawn his name and was supporting Sherman. It is only five years back that Governor Foraker, after a brilliaitt campaign, was supposed to be the choice of a safe majority of the republican members, yet it was his friends who were forced to make the nomination of Sherman unanimous. Some Signal Expected. But net one of the Senator’s warmest supporters cares to have that kind of a struggle over again. They will all expect some sign in good time, and probably they will be given it. If Senator Sherman dis- appoints presert expectations and decides Castoria For Infants and Children.

Gen. Chas. H. Grosvenor will be one of them. Until the problem of Mark Hanna nad the cabinet is solved it is use- less to guess what faction he will be with. Yet should the present understanding that he 1s to be one of President McKinley’s official household prove wrong, he would al- most certainly be a candidate to succeed Sherman. Just now Mr. Hanna is content- ing himself with vigorous and picturesque refusals to be drawn into the squabble that is going on. He declines any responsibility for attacks cn Foraker and Bushnell, and he also repudiates efforts to commit either Major McKinley or himself. It is the possibility of the internal war reaching dangerous proportions which rais- es the question whether the old condition may not revert, and Ohio 2gain be repre- sented by Senatcrs of opposite politics. The erratic nature of the state in choosing cemocratic Senators at alternate periods end democratic goverrors at frequent in- tervals does not need to be recited in detail. Everybody familiar with politics knows its Tistory. ‘che failure of Ohio to give Major McKinley a plurality over Bryan propor- tionate to that of other states was a sub- ject of comment when the election returns were analyzed. It was also a source of Fersonal mortification to the major. Next year, when the governor and legislature are chosen, the natural reaction from the extreme tension of the presidential contest will be on in full force. It was the witty comment of a local republican leader th if all the republicans in Ohio who expect ¢flice snd don’t get it stay away from the polls the democrats have only to count their majority. The habit of the man who expects ottice and doesn’t get it is to stay away from the polls when his wounds are fresh. So it may be considered a fair field in Ohio next November for the democrats in thelr fight for the governor and legisla- ture. John R. McLean has perhaps just as much right to begin fitting himself to a senatorial toga as has Governor Bushnell. The gold standard democrats have been cest out into darkness, and the democratic party in Ohio hereafter is the faction which supported Bryan. It will control the con- ventions and dictate the nominations. CHAS. M. PEPPER. New Committees Appointed by the Association.

Policeman Mulvey of the sixth precinct last evening made an arrest of some im- portance when he captured Charles Lewis for defrauding Mrs. Grupe, the proprietress of a confectionery store at 111 Pennsyl- vania avenue, out of a small sum of money. Lewis possesses several aliases and a police record, and was only recently released from the penitentiary. At the station Lewis gave the name of Williams, but he was recog- nized by Detective Horne. His photograph is included in the collection of photos of crooks at police headquarters. Lewis was held at the sixth precinct sta- tion today, while Detective Horne was working up the case against him. He will be given a hearing in the Police Court to- morrow. ———._—_— Rev.

It looks now as’ if Dr. J. A. Maloney would be registered and licensed as a prac- ticing physician without having to submit to an examination by the board of medical superviscrs. This is the case where the name of Dr. Maloney did not appear ‘upon the. official register at the health offiée, and the ques- tion was raised as to his eligibility to a licenge."' Dr. Maloney bfought evidence to bear upon the health -ofifcer tending to rove that the absence of his name was a mistake, and that he way in no way to tlame for its omission. He maintained that he appeared at the health office several years ago and made application for reg tration. Fer some reason or other he was rot given the book of registration, and lett after exhibiting his diploma. Down stairs, however, in the office where the burial per- mits are issued, he gave his name and ad- Cress. It was this latter dct which prob- | ably save him from examination and will ertitle him to registration! The office be- eve he is entitled to registration, and there is little doubt that Within the of a few days he will reeéive a. 1) license. Want to Cross the Aqueduct Bridge. The Washington, Arlington and Falls Church railroad ts ‘the first railroad com- pany in the field for permission to operate a line of cars over the Aqueduct bridge.

The law provides that each lot shall be connected with a sewer, in case such lot is in a locality where a public sewer exists, Orders for Work. The Commissioners have ordered: Pro- posals for constructing sewers, opened No- vember 16, 1896, are accepted as follows: Proposal of Adam McCandlish for sewer “A” in Whitney avenue between 14th street ard Holmead avenue; proposal of Guiney & Coyle for sewer “B" in 3d street between F and G streets northeast; Adam McCandlish for sewer “C” in 35th street between U and Madison streets.

To the Biltor of The Evening Star: Knowing The Star’s inclination to shed its light abroad for those who travel by day or night, as the case may be, I ven- ture to suggest that in addition to the elec- tric lights recently placed in the east front of Capitol Park, there be one large one placed on the Capitol building, as near the center as possible, and at a sufficient height to overtop all the others by at least twenty or thirty feet. If this is done it will be found to shed as much light over the grounds as nearly all the other lamps combined, and provided the inaugural ball is held in the new Library bullding—which it ought to be by all means—the new elec: tric star will not only be a conspicuous but a useful feature on that occasion. PRO BONO PUBLICO. Lay ce- \ street Lay ce- loth street --DIPHTHERIA CURE Dr. Kinyoun’s Talk on the Use of Anti-Toxine. THE HEALTH OFFICE HAMPERED No Money and No Contagious Hospital. |THE BOSTON SYSTEM ge According to the statement of some phy- sicians, the prevalence of diphtheria in the District of Columbia can be attributed to the opposition to appropriations by Con-. gress for the preparation of anti-toxine and ‘the establishment of a children’s hospital for infectious diseases. A year and a half ago, upon the report of Dr. J. J. Kinyunn of the marine corps, who was a member of the international corgress of hygiene and demcgraphy at Budapest, and who witnessel the experi- ments at the Pasteur Institute, a plant was established in connection with the merine corps, and other plants in various cities throughout the United States. Last July the plant here was turned over to the health department of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The public is familiar with the present epidemic of diphtheria, and in the ligtt of what has been said and written concerning the efficacy of anti- toxire, it has naturally been supposed that the remedy had failed. Such is not the case, according to these in position to It is claimed not only at the health but at the marine hespital, that wh:le Dr. Woodward is fully competent and none but efficient assistants are em- ployed, the heaith office is so embarrassed by lack of appropriations that the proper isolation and treatraent of the cases is impcesible. One difficulty i. the use of anti-tcxine is that the serum loses its power and a fresh supply must be kept on hand: This cannot be done without ap- propriatiéns with which to buy horse8, pre- pare and distribute the serum. Singularly, ihe cure by anti-toxine has in itself proved a source of danger. When a child is cured within a day or two, the parents insist that it did not have diph- theria and allow the child to leave home in spite of the precautions of the health offi- cers. A Star reporter called upon Dr. Kinyoun to Jearn what the experiences of the past eighteen months had shown concerning the remedy. The Boston Systeim. Dr. Giddings was first seen, and he spoke flatteringly of the health department, but remarked that Dr. Woodward was #0 hampered for want of appropriations that if he were ten men rolled into one he would still have too much work. He said that Beston is the only city which has a com- piete system of preventing diphtheria. ‘There 1s a permanent board of inspectors, whose business it is, whether diphtheria exisis or not, to examine all children in the schools every morning. If a child is ailing it 1s sent home and treated. The result is that while there has been diphtheria in the city, it couid not be traced in any instance to the scheois. This system has been in ferce about a year. br. iKinyoun on Anti-Toxine. Passed Assistant Surgeon Dr. J. J.

Kut I have a valu- able horse now which has been used for the purpose. He has entircly recovered; and 1 think he is a better horse every way than he was before. “There is anuther important matter which has always been prevented by urgent op- pcsition—the erection of 2 hospital for in- fectious diseases of children. There is a hospital here for children, but only for Lon-infectious diseases. There is a fund now available of some $38, as a nucleus, whenever Congress makes appropriation for the additional amount required. It would not take a very large sum. A hospital building does not need to be ornate—only convenient, comfortable and cleanly. The best and largest European hospitals, while they are not dingy nor unsightly, in their finish and appointments are not ornamental. “But attempts to establish a hospital of the sort (we have a good smallpox hospital, however) have been constantly opposed by property owrers. A few years ago a mil- lionaire said before an sppropriations com- mittee that he represented a land syndicate who never would allow 2. hospital to be put up near their lands, and‘this class of men so far have been successful in baflling all efforts in the direction of providing sucn an institution. The result of the want of a hcspital for diphtheria is that isolation is wellnigh impossible in a family or in a hotel where the disease may appear. “Some who admit the necessity for a hos- pital have proposed to place it five or six miles out. This would be almost worse than the present arrangement. “What do you think of the Boston plan of school inspection?” “Well, Dr. Durbin of Boston is one of the foremost sanitarians in the whole coun- try. He reports that the system works well beyond quesiion. The schools are visited every morning by inspectors assigned to special districts; and every child which scems ill is strictly examined, and, if nec- essary, sent home at once. The same plan is carried out in a number of Canadian tcwns, and I think also in New York city.” ‘Whatever may be the cause of the pres- ent cases of diphtheria, and as to that physicians differ in opinion, it will result in Congress being asked to supply means by which anti-toxine may be prepared un- der governmental supervision and tn a sci- entific manner for use. Statistics will be presented before the District committee to show that the present epidemic would easily have been prevented had any money been available to provide means for the proper isolation and treat- ment of the cases. The Contagio Disease Hospital. ‘The failure to secure a location for a hos- pital for contagious diseases in this city is causing much comment on the part of those who have been interested in securing a place for the isolation of such cases. It is recalled that the Commissioners have twice recommended a site for such a hos- pital, once on Capitol Hill near the District ACCOUNTANTS 4 Page 5 AMUSEMENTS. -Page 16 ATTORNEYS -Page 5 Page 14 Page 4 Page 4 Page 5 s S -Page 16 COMMISSIONERS OF DEEDS......

The $15,000 ap- propriated by Congress for the site has now lapsed because of the failure to use it, and Congress will again have to take a tion for this purpose. The Daisy Chain, of which Mrs. Archibald Hopkins is the presi- deat, has raised $11,000 to be used to build a hospital, but the money ts lying ddle be- cause of the lack of a site on which to build. It is because of the objections to having a hospital located in a neighborhood on the part of those whose interests are in the vicinity of the proposed site that diph- therla cases are scattered In all parts of the city. ——$———— CONDENSED LOCALS Just prior to the opening of the Sunday school convention last night the Christian Endeavor committee of '96 met in an ante- room for a brief devotional meeting in com- remoration of the second anniversary of its organization.
