The “round robin" signed by the various commanders {s to the same effect. Three Gistinct diseases are prevalent, typhoid, malarial and yellow fever, and curiously at Present the least menacing of these ts the yellow fever. But the malarial and the typhoid are surely undermining the consti- utions of those men who are attacked by them and who escape from death, and it is ved that if the army be kept where it now fs when the yellow jack begins to a more malignant phases nothing can prevent a terrible death rate.

Toda ews Today. Im response to the Yashingtoa Post The Star recently demon- strated the superiority of the evening to the morning paper as a medium of prompt news ribution, and the Post treated this demonstration with {ts accompanying 1 of particulars as unanswerable. But encouraged by a schedule of alleged morn- ing paper beats just published by the Buf- falo Express the Post now comes to the challenge of the the morning paper in Buffalo that city waits longer for its news than Washington is required to do, and the Post shows dis- cretion in making its claims through its Buffalo contemporary instead of speaking for itself. At least four of the largest items in the list so proudly displayed by the Express and Post belong on the other side of the ledger. The official findings of the Maine ceurt of inquiry were first promulgated through the afternoon papers, having been submitted to Congress in a special mes- sage, thus putting an end to a long series called semi-official summaries and stracts that had been given to the publie by the morning editions. The arrival of Admiral Cervera at Martinique was first announced In the regular editions of the afternoon papers. The victory at El Ca- ney was likewise given first to the anxious public in the afternoon editions. The final surrender of Santiago, the definite accept- | ance of terms by both sides, putting an end to the guessing and quibbling of days, was armounced in the afternoon papers. One other item is claimed for the morning pa- pers that does 1 ot strictly belong to them, the “landing at Porce.” As a matter of fact this is what the morning papers print- ed, but it is not what happened. The Porto Rican expedition landed at, Guanica and this fact, with interesting details, was first published in the afterncon papers, wkereas on the morning of the same day a vague and unreliable statement of a ding elsewhere misled the people. The Ixpress and the Post claim creait for nent on terms of an eyent bich has not yet occurred and for which beth the aft dm papers are eagerly waiting. news of Spain's plea for peace wa tinted in the afternoon. After th E s list has suf- fered the shr proc which justice requires it ¢ vorably with even the ening paper ar. of things ture reat bulk of y and of the ime. If it secures the city which the and which cable, bicycle, typesetting and improved printing press a sure, it is published in the evening pape Of course the evering paper may not in scme lecalities live up to its opportunities, but if it does so it sweeps the platter clean in local, national and world new: The base ball news (unless forestalled by a spe- cial evening sporting edition), the theaters burglaries and other deeds of darkne: and the ob{tuaries of persons dying in the gloomy hours when life is at the lowest ebb furnish the exclusive meat upon which the morning paper feeds its readers. ‘The proof of the pudding fs in the eat- irg.” The Star invites comparison day by day between the news printed by it and its morning cotemporaries. Washington mak<s nine-tenth of its news in the day- time, whether on the st , in the homes or places of business, in the courts, at the District building, in the departments, at the White House or Capitol, and The Star is thoroughly equipped with the news gath- ering and news printing facilities which are requisite to secure prompt publication. The Associated Press and special cor- respondents furnish it quickly with the s doings of America and, owing to the difference in time, of Europe, and it promptly spreads the news before its read- ers, mcre than half a day in advance of its morning cotemporaries. The truth is well illustrated by the glori- fication of the morning papers over their first publication of the midnight action cf Congress upon the intervention resolutions. It necessary that Corgress shall act eccentrically in the middle of the night in erder to surprise the morning paper with a@ bit of Congressional news. Every other importent piece of war and Cuban legisla- tion, being acted upon during the regular hours of Congressional session, was first reported in The Star. The full, regular crop of Congressional news (as of nearly all other news) is first gathered by the evening paper: mpelled to and the morning issues are do their hilarious whooping ce ever an occasional and exceptional news wind-fall see he thirteenth article of th xas state democratic resolutions was an endorsement of Col.

The prevalence of typhoid fever at Cz Alger furnis parts of the country that the disease ow S$ origin and spread to the generally unwholesome conditions with which the camp is surrounded, and slurs are cast at the vicinity of Washing- ton as suffering from, an unwholesome climate. Nothing is further from the truth. Camp Alger is situated, in the first place, a considerable distance from Washington. Moreover, it is in a healthful region, where every cordition of nature is calculated to aid the human system in resisting disease. But Camp Alger suffered at the start from the error of those who selected it as the site for the abiding place of an army of men from all sections of the country, with- out due consideration for the need of a water supply other than that afforded by wells. To this initial error was added the misfortune that typhoid fever was imported into the camp from one and another of the state camps, and that the disease germs thus brought from other quarters found lodgment in the soil, and ihence passed, presumably, into the water supply that was drawn from the very foundations of the living quarters of this army. Washington {s no more associated with the typhoid epidemic at the camp than with the yellow fever outbreak at Santiago, save so far aa it shares in the danger thus created by human error and misfortune. The climatic conditions of the capital's neighborhood are now good and are con- stantly improving. The governmental agencies are gradually being invoked to remove what remains of the old-time men- aces to health. The filing of the flats of the Potomac destroyed one of the chief catses for apprehension that formerly ex- isted, and now, after years of endeavor to this end, steps have been finally taken to accomplish the same result on the eastern mp n critics in various with the suggestion Scratch again, and reprints with approving comment the beats claimed by the Buffalo ihorning paper. If these items were all printed first in side of the city. Other tmprovements are planned or are under way, inquiries are being made as to the need of filtering the water supply, and, in short, everything is being done to give Washington first place among American cities for health condi- tions. No serious attention, therefore, should be given to these insinuations against the quality of our climate that .are being put forth here and there because Camp Alger, through somebody's neglect or blunder, has become a fever ground. Washington joins in the complaint and hopes that the gov- ernment will be so thorough in its inquiry as to the causes of the evil that future repetitions will be impossible. ———_oo»____ Mr. Van Wyck, having rescued a young lady from drowning, is prepared to confute all suggestions that he did not do anything of importance while mayor of New York. ——_—_ e+ __ Jernegan demonstrated that the gold in sSea-water can be made to yield a profit.
