Case of Milkmaid.
Washington, Nov. 5.—In view of the
order of the secretary of the navy re
voking the prohibition recently placed
against officers who attended the New
port conference from discussing its
action, an officer who was prominently
identified with the entire proceedings
today stated that it had substantiated,
with a few minor exceptions, the
charges of defects pointed out in Com
mander Keyes’ letter on that subject.
This officer has been foremost in his
denunciation of naval defects.
The conference decided, he said,
that very few of these could be reme
died in the North Dakota and Dela
ware, which are now 40 per cent com
pleted, but suggested that, if practica
ble, additional case armor of about 100
tons be placed around the smoke pipe
and up-takes to protect them against
splinters. The additional armor would
increase the protection to eight inches.
They recommend that, if practicable,
an entire fire control mast be placed
forward of the smokestacks, for that
in case the vision from the rear mast
is obscured by smoke, a clear view
could be secured from the other posi
tions.
The conference hesitated about mak
ing extensive changes in the plans of
the Florida and Utah, as any alteration
that would involve a considerable
change of weights would require a re
construction of the plans.
On the important subject of what
ought to be the type of the next battle

Washington, Nov. 7.—One of. the
most remarkable discoveries in medical
history in connection with the source
of the spread of typhoid fever has just
been brought to light as the resalt of
an investigation by officer of the pub
lic health and marine hospital service
into a recent outbreak of that disease
in Georgetown, or West Washington,
D. C.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that a woman milker at a neighbor
hood dairy who had typhoid fever 18
fyears ago still throws off virile typhoid
fever bacilli and was the responsible
agent in spreading the disease.
With one exception this is the first
considerable outbreak of typhoid fever
in the United States traced through
milk to such a carrier.
A peculiar feature in connection with
the case is that the examination devel
oped large numbers of typhoid bacilli
although the woman apparently was
enjoying good health.
Surgeon General Wyman says an im
portant source of disease has been dis
covered, and one which heretofore has
not been duly recognized.
The case just discovered is deemed
of medical interest to health officers in
tracing obscure sources of typhoid fev
er outbreaks.
General Wyman states that this case
establishes the fact that at least 2 per
cent of all the recovered cases of ty
phoid fever become bacilli carriers for
a longer or shorter period, even while
otherwise enjoying good health.

Washington, Nov. 3.—When the sec

convenes in December, regardless of
whether the Republicans or the Demo
crats have carried the house, there will
be at least one change sf regime that
will be interesting and, perhaps, im
portant.
John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, will no longer be the mi
nority leader. In his place, unless all
signs are misleading, will be Repre

Mr. Williams, whom the people of
' Mississippi have chosen to be senator,
announced some time ago that he had
concluded to give up the minority lead
ership, regardless of what might be the
result of the approaching election.

Washington, Nov. 3. — President
Roosevelt has been made acquainted,
through a report submitted to the Navy
department by Lieutenant Harrin Lan-
ing, of some details of splendid work
of the battleship rifle teams in defeat
ing the Melbourne, Australia, Rifle
club, said, in the report, to be probably
as strong a team as could be put up in
Australia. The navy team of riflemen
also beat a team in Sydney, but were
defeated by a small margin by one
from Auckland.
The contest with the Melbourne club
was held under very unfavonrable con
ditions, the score resulting in a total
of 1,414 for the Americans and 1,369
for the Australians.
The highest score was made by Cor
poral Farquharson, of the marine corps
of the Connecticut, who made 99 out of
a possible 106, and thereby secured for
his vessel the temporary possession of
the Auckland trophy.
At Sydney the fleet rifle team defeat
