rii Biennis, ine rresiiieut in the chair. After the
announcement of several notices, the reading of the
miiiuies was aispensen wiui.
nr. atelier moved that article eleventh or the old
constitution, providing for amendments, be emlio
died in the new, as there is now no provision Tor any
chmigcR or adddlons. Carried.
Prof. Gross tillered an addition to an article In the
constitution, giving tue members of the Philadel
phia College of Physicians the same rights of repre
sentation III this society ns the Philadelphia County
Society, providing that' no delegate shall bu at. the
same time a delegate from both. This was received
to my over for one year.
lr. Gross also oiiercd a resolution on the subject
of vaccination. The re-solution, In view of the fact
that the people getierully are careless in the matter,
states explicitly that the Medical Society regards
vaccination as the only safe preventive to smallpox.
This resolution was withdrawn until the report of a
special eoiiin.it tee, appointed last year, ou this sub
ject Should be received.
It was moved that nil public entertainments at
the meetings of this society, given by the physicians
ol the place where the meetings are held, be dis
pensed vt 1th, and that a public banquet be held to
which each attendant shall subscribe a certain sum.
This is not calculated to interfere with any private
entertainments which may be desired. Carried.
K-veral Invitations were presented from various
public institutions, which were received with
tliatiks.
lr. Mnrdock, from the New York State Society.
was Introduced and received. Dr. Murdoek said
that lie had last visited Philadelphia during the war.
Then all was confusion. The city was tilled with
the men belonging to the army, rsowwhata change!
All Is tranquillity and peace, and you sit here devis
ing means for the health and peace of the com
munity. You point with prloe to your noble colleges
and ppocious hospitals. eo do we. iou have a
reverence for the great men who have lived In your

your l'.aehes. We have as much ef a reverential
awe. 'i ney were great men, whose renutatlons ex
tended beyond the bounds of your own State. New

of good will.
Dr. Stiles, of New l ork, and Dr. Llllv. from the
State Society of New Jersey, were also Introduced,
and tendered words of greeting to the Philadelphia
Society from their respective bodie?. The President
brietly replied to the addresses of greeting.
nr. Washington Atlee presented a protest from
several physicians ou the woman question.
'ine protest closed with the roiiowtnr resolu
tion:
Wherra. The pant action of the Medical Societj of the
Btalo of Peonnylvania toward the Woman's Medical Col
li K9 of Pennsylvania originated in consequence of its
alleged irregular organiKatinn ; and

institution and the status of totnale practitionars of g'Hid
moral and professional stand fog, wbo obsei-ve the coUe of
etbics of tbe National Medicul Association.
The discussion of this subject was deferred until
the Committee on Drugs and Medicines made a re
port through the chairman, l)r. Curamiskey.
The report was received and the committee dis
charged. A committee appointed last year to memorialize
the Legislature ou the subject of vaccination re-
torted that they had asked the Legislature to pro
liblt the admission to the public schools of children
who had not been vaccinated, but had failed to ob
tain action.
The report was received and the committee dis
charged.
The resolution or ur. Gross on tne subject or vac
cination, before offered and deferred until after the
reception of the last report, was then recalled and
agreed to.
Dr. Dewitt offered the following:
Henlrf'i. That a committee of seren be annotated to
endeavor e procure the passage of a law by t he General
Assembly o' tbe State of Pennsylvania, requiring all
makers and venders of patent medicines to print in Rng
Iioh and place upon each and every bottle or package of
snch medicines t ho constituents and proportions of said
bottle or package.
This resolution was discussed at some length, but
the hour of neon having arrived the discussion on
this and the woman question wai deferred, on ac
count of a special order of the day having been
fixed for that hour.
The special order, the reading of a paper on the
use of suspension in cases of curvature of the spine,
by Dr. BeDjaniln Lee, of Philadelphia, was then
entered into. The paper was illustrated with
various apparatus, the practical working of which
wns shown by several patients.
I'rotessor Gotirecnt, or Cincinnati, was introduced
and made an address on the subject of the appli

The thanks or the society were tendered to Drs.
Gobrecht and Dr. Lee for their able addresses.

case which he had treated successfully with chloro
form.

also attempted on the beautiful granite pedestal of

TUE N. V. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
From the X. Y. Herald.
"The gold market was weak, and the temptation to
sell for a decline seems to have given a new luipulso
to the lower tendency of the premium. The specu
lators for a rise are thoroughly demoralized by the
persistent weakness or tne market, and, witu lew
exceptions, have sold out, Tbe Government sale, in
eliciting bids for over three millions, temporarily
checked the downward movement at noon to uay,
and the price rallied a few points from the lowest
flgure.but subsequently gave way again, but once more
rallied ou the report of the defeat of the Currency
Contraction bill. At the close it again fell off, ex
hibiting the inherent weakness of the market, which
Is now influenced by the glut of gold in the New
York banks, with the prospect of another heavy ad
dition to their store when the Treasury disburses
the thirty-five millions of gold due July 1. The
Bteamer of to-day, although a favorite with remit
ters, took no specie, while exchange was Inactive
and lower.
"In the gold loan market the rate ranged from four
per cent, tor carrying to flat for borrowing.
"The money market presents the same features of
ease und abundance. The general rate on ca 1 Is
four per cent., w ith, exceptions at three on Govern
ments and live on stocks. Judging from the tone
of the money markets In the West it Is evident that
we have reached the climax of abundant money at
this centre for the present season. Money Is leaving
Chicago and other Western cities to go into the in
terior to move tbe remnant of last year's crops, and
also, perhaps, In preparation for the moving of this
year's. Our banks have seldom been so strongly
fortified, and could stand a steady, heavy drain
of funds for a good while to come without forcing
them to contract their loans. Moreover, it is a ques
tion whether the West will need as much currency
this fall as last, lor the reason that the price of
wheat is lower than then (although much higher
than last winter), while the crops themselves will
not be as large, because tbe depression in the wheat
market last winter checked extensive planting ope
rations this spring. While the rate on call will not
descend below the present figures there Is little
chance that It will advance until towards the fall,
and then hardly beyond seven per cent. Commer
cial paper Is scarce, and sells freely at six per vent,
for prime double Dames.
"The Inactivity in the exchange market led to a
further reduction of rates on the part of the leading
bankers. There Is now a difference of only a half
per cent between 'long' and 'short' sterling bills,
owing to the easier money market In London."

London, June 9. The cable between England
and Ireland, which was recently broken, is not
yet repaired, and messages to and from America
are consequently somewhat delayed. Nearly all
the business is transacted by way of the French
line, and Ireland is telegraphically Isolated from
the rc6t of Europe.
The Dueinn Ilonx.
There seems to be no dwnbt that the reported
Ioes of the Bteamer Daclan was concocted iu
America by designing persons to influence the
market price of the new West India Cable
shares. This is strengthened by the fact, gene
rally known, that the steamer belonged to Sir
Charles Bright, who is oue of the originators and
active members of the new company. The insu
ranee on the Dacian with her cargo is two huu
dred and fifty thousand pounds sterliug.

The review was a magnificent atght oue which only

Constantinople, June 9. The great fire lu
the Pera district has been fully subdued, and
Bomething like order reigns again. According
to a careful account, over seven thousand build
ings of all sorts have been destroyed. Many of
these were the best in the city. The loss of life
greatly execeded the estimate made some days
ago. The remains of one hundred and fifty
human beings have been discovered thus far,
and it is supposed this number represents about
one-half of the actual loss of life. The total
lo6S caused by the fire is computed roughly at
twenty-five million pounds sterling. English
underwriters suffer heavy losses. The archives
of the British Embassy was saved. The Arme
nian Church of the Immaculate Conception was
on fire several times, aud is considerably
damaged; but the Gobelin tapestry, the gift of
the Empress Eugenie, with which the church
was decorated, was saved unharmed.

This is regarded as havlngdestroyedthe chances

Mr. Davie (New York), from the Judiciary Commit tea-,
repniled tor discussion and action a bill to establish a
iinil'irm system of nntnriili.ation ami regulate procoed-ir-Kauni'er
tbe same. This lull makes the following con
ditions of citizenship: J luce years' residence in tho
I r.ited States witn the intention to become a citir.en, and
aix months' residence in tne State, and thirty dnya in the
county or parish bofore application is made. Also, twenty
days' notice filed in court. Proceedings for naturalization
r.ro to be had before tho United States District Courts.
In counties or parishes where there are not more than two
atatod terms of those courts annually, proceedings may be
iiad in any Mute court of Kooorul jurisdiction baring a
clerk and seal.
The naturalized citir.en Is nit to exercise all the privi
1 gds of i itizeiikhip till alter the end of six months from,
the flat e of the judgment. Aliens enlisted in the United
States army or navv, and honorably discharged thorofroov
ro.iy become citizens upon one yean' actual residence.
1 he bill consists of seventeen sections containing de
tailed provisions for currying it out, and penalties for
fraudulent actions under it.
Mr. Davis proceeded to explain the provisions of the bill,,
crmpsring them with the existing provisions of law on
the subject. The effect of giving jurisdiction to tbe State
courta whore more tbun two s ated terms of Unitod
States courta are bold annually was, be
eaid, to give jurisdiction to the RUte
courts generally throughout tho country, hut to dnriv
them of it in the large cities where Federal Courta are
held more frequently, the object being to prevent t he
frauds alleged to have been perpetrated in tbe larger
cities. The provision postponing the exercise of all rigtrt
of citizenship for six months from the date of judgment of
naturnlir.fltion, be regarded as the great conservative olo
ment of the bill, because all the frauds connected with
tr e present system have been hitherto perpetrated under
the spin and excitement of heated political struggles..
A II parties bad been in come degree chargeable with such
frauds.
He should not attempt to shield his own party, nor
should any Democrat attempt to shield his by setting
hininol' against a chiinge of the law which would prevent
such irauda on citizenship, aa all good men sbiuld deplorse
that the principle existed under the constitution of New
York, where naturalization must cease some time before
the election. He defended the principle of the thirteenth
section, which provides legal proceedings to bo taken
against persons charged with having f raudulently ob
taines) naturalization papers.
Air. Ward advocated the passage of the bill, which was
founded nn a resolution ottered by himself', and referred
to the Judiciary Committeo. The bill seemed to be well
considered und to meet the requirements of tbe resolu
tion referred to tbe commitiee. He would have it
amended, however, by increasing the residence require
ment from three years to four years, before an alien cast
btain naturalization papers. He did not think that his
proposition would be regarded as unjust by aliens them
selves who were interested in not having Amerioan citi
zenship made too easy and too cheap. In that connection
bo spoke of tho soventy' thousand fraudulent
