It nit his duty, ho guid, to tho city
anil state of Now York to ask in thoir
holnilf tho immediate, unconditional repeal
ol the Sherman law, which repeal
would brini? a season of financial calm,
instead of a wide sproad fear of a inonotuty

Kliorman law and tho party should livo
up to its uledgos. ilo know that tho
interests of silver minora might he disturbed,

This was suspension day in tho house,

bad put down on the alate tor tho day.
Many members who woro In favor ol
tho one proposition wero opposod to
the other; and thero was a third section
which, being in favor of both
proposition*, was opposod to othor bills.
A [tortile long but rather unintorestIng

>- Chicago, Fob. fl,--Dlrector General i'
" Davis, o( tho World's Fair, has subJ]
mittod to President lllg^lnbotliam and
L. tbe council of finance tho following report
upon cholera quarantine:
f There aro bat two sources from which
8 the introduction of cholora into this
,( country can bo exported. The first and
1 moat dangeroua In the arrival of linV
mixrauts and vlaitora from tho Baltic
' nnd uorth soaports, where tho cholera
d ha* prevailed durinx tiie past season ;;
if and where it ia still not entirely oradlo
catod. Tho second is tho arrival from
* the said ports of balea of merchandllo
p which may have been exposed to con- H
tact with cholera norms, and which
o may convoy thaae norms to human vlo>
tima whon tho merehandlao la broken
' open aftor its arrival in Chlcaso.
The class of merchandiau which forma
' almost tho oxcluaWevnhiolo for convey8
anco of diseaso norma that way is rags
>' which are gathered In the lowest and
0 filthiest quarters of continental cltie# ''
t- aud shipped to this country for uto as
o papor stock nnd muterlal for manufao>'
turo of clothes. Tho bulk of such rags :.
10 imported into this country are intended '
y for and are osod in the paper and cioth
?* mills of the eastern etatea, and but a
s> small fraction of the shipments over "
>- roach Chicago. In tho cholera infected i?
districta of continental Europe tbe wino
tor has been ono"OT**umisual sovority,
d and while it is admittod that sovere
d cold doos not kill tho cholera irorm, yet
>- it is equally admitted that sovere cold
!> absolutely chocks the spread of infection
10 and stops the reproduction of tho germ
oxcopt in tho alroady infeotod human
>r Bubloct. ' S
5' Tho Roods which will bo recoivod In
a Chicago (or tho exposition will have
booh handlod, fluished, packed and
d shipped by healthy workmen daring
>y tiie provaiouco of a tomperataro which
)r was unfavorable if not prohibitive of
' tiio conveyance of tho Infection, and I
cannot see that wo are warranted In
' fooling tho silghtoat approhenaidn of
>' cholera or othor infectious disesssi
r from this source during the coming
u spring and summer.
r- To glvo tho (tunoral public confidence >
18 in tho efficacy of the quurantino rogulutlons
nt tho seaboard it is absolutely
" necessary that tho United States gov
ornmont should assume tho control and
>11 direction of sorvice and becomo respon5r
siblo for tho enforcement of sanitary
n inspection and precautions on tho nr o
rival of infocted and suspoetcd vessels,
and also tho regulations govonring the
10 acceptance of passengers from infected
districts by tho steamship companlei
' plying betwoeu our own and European
111 ports.
111 I do not nnticipalo that tho choler*
infection will reach Chicago in any
shapo or form. Nevertheless, I believe
if (n ho thrt rtlltv nf thft mnnintnnl nil*
I''- thoritios to make tlili city conapicu'
ouily clean and koop It so." Moro parr
ticularly with reforonco to the exposi- '
p. tion, I am of tlio opinion and recom'y
uipnJ that n spoclal sanitary corps
? should be organized undor the medical
director, consisting of possibly twonty
'Ji or thirty inapectors. If the sanitary
il> condition of tlio exposition and the city
is maintained at n high standard I linvo
no fears about the health of our visitor)
n or our own citijuns.
liXPfiOM AN ALIUL

!r. PiTTsnuRoit, Pa., Fob. 0.?The trial of
J, Jack Clifford, tho Homestead strike '
io ioador, for murdor was resumed beforo ?
H Judge Htowo to-day. In outlining the
a- defenso, Attornoy Bronnan said that an
n- alibi would ho proven, nnd it would bs
K, shown that tho pooplo on the rivet
hank at Homestead did not fire at the
l'inkortons in the barges, but that the
firing was done for tho purpose of slgod
calling. Ho alio clalmod that Connor
was nut shot by tho pooplo on tho
ht shoro. A largo number of wltnosses
nt wore then oxaminod, whoso testimony
t0 was in accordance with tho above. ..'
,[t Among tho witnesses were a hall
! doion young women of Homesteads
ra Mrs. Maria Lowis and Stella Crawford
>>B both testiflod that they wore on the
m bank beforo tho boats landod. Nono ot
l0 tho men on tho bank wore armod exId
copt with stioks. No shots wero fired
from oither bank, bnt tiioro was a con>11
tinual fire from the atoamboat and
J0 barges. Mary Mallorv said that Clifford
ct was at her mother's house from 10
-I o'clock on the night of July Oth until 11
?t o'clock the day of tho llgnJ. Bho was
nt corroborated by Chas. Stewart and
Thomas Williams. The last witness
m becamo badly confusod on cross exam00
ination and admitted that ho did not
m remember soolng Clifford that day until
lt. Mrs. Mullory asked him about It three
tt months ago. Tho defsnse will argue ?
0| ontirely for an alibi.
