Says the Disease Prevalent In the
United States Is a New Form of
Smallpox New York State Com
mission on the Coast.
. Dr. George W. Bunn. smallpox phy
sician at Blackwell's Island. New
York, who has been in Seattle for the
past several days, has left for Port
land, where he will remain for a
short time, and then proceed to San
Francisco, from which place he will
start for home. During his stay in
the West he has been investigating
smallpox- epidemics, which for the
past three years have bothered the
New York authorities as much as
they have the health officers In the
West
The discaso which has been preva
lent in the United States for the last
few years, he says, is a new one,
and its history will have to be re
wrlttcd. To further this work the
State of New York has appointed a
commission, of which he Is a mem
ber, and shortly after the first of the
year this body will make a reiwt to
the state board of health. Until that
report has been made the data gather
ed will not bo made nubile. However
Dr. Bunn expects that the mystery
of what there is of this character
about the disease, will be solved, and
a treatment will he found.
A New Form of Disease.
"The form of smallpox which has
been troubling the health authorities
in all parts of the United States for
the past few years," he said, in dis
cussing the work, "is one medical
science knows little about, and the
history of tho disease will have to
be rewritten. It is not tho deadly
smallpox which wo were accustomed
to periodically some .years ago. and
which appears to have spent its force
in Florida in 188G. At least, this is
the last epidemic which resulted dls
n;'frnii"!y for those affected that we
have had.
Traced to Immigrants.
"There has been a great deal of it
In the West, and as much In the East.
"We have had very few patients die.
with us, and the same, I learn, has
been the case here and in the North
west. Now, the state hoard of health
of New York has undertaken to find
out what the disease Is, and to this
end a commission has been appointed
by tho governor to gather data from
the different parts of the country
which have been affected, and see if
some method of treatment cannot ho
discovered. This is the mission on
which I have been in the West. .lust
what I have learned will be made
public in a report to the state board
of health of New York at tho same
time the other members of the com
mission report, soon after the first of
the year.
"With us It Is a little different than
in the West. We have been able to
trace most of our cases to immigrants
who have landed but a short time."

Northern Pacific Will Try to Control
Spokane Papers Mellcn to Be Suc
ceeded. Spokane, Dec; !. There Is a story
current herp that President F. H.
Farrell, of thp Pacific Coast Steam
ship Company. Is negotiating for the
purchase ol the Spokesman-Review
and the Chronicle, the afternoon edi
tion of the first-named paper. Farrell
is a well-known railroad and com
mercial man, and has before been
mentioned prominently as likely to
succeed President Mellon, of the
Northern Purine Railroad Company.
Tills fact has led to the declaration
from certain sources that the railroad
interests have furnished capital to
purchase and control the big Spokane
dallies in order that they may be
diverted from their present antl-rall-load
policy and turned to tho sup
port of Levi Ankeny for election to
the position of United States senator
to succeed (leorge Turner, present
democratic incumbent.
In addition; there Is the seini-ofllc-
lal announcement that Farrell Is
shortly to succeed President Alellen
as. the head of the Northern Pacific
system. The latter news comes from
New York city and is snid to lie authentic.
