ACTION POSTPONED. Tho Vaccination Question lleforo tho Hoard of Health. A special meeting of tho Board, of Health iron held last night to hear statement from the committee on compulsory education con nected with the School Hoard relative to tho vaccination problem. Tho committee Is com posed of School Directors William T. Trestle, T. . Edwards and IMwln V. Williams, who are doing all they can, In conjunction with Truant Officer Ilrown, to enforce the laws on compulsory education, but find conflict In the laws bearing upon vaccination. Tho com mittee finds that nt present there are SS3 pupils out of school on account of not being vaccinated. Those pupils are divided Into throe classes, namely : Too poor to pay, 07 ; Indisposition, 01; negligence, 72. The nationalities of the children aro as follows : Americans, 06 ; Polish, 05 ; Irish, 47 ;' Gor-J mans, 34 ; English, SI ; Welsh, 18 ; Lithu anians, 4 ; Russians, 2 ; Greeks, 3 ; Italians, 1. Tho object of the commltteo's appearance before tho Board of Health last night was to ask that some arrangement bo mado by which the children whose parents aro too poor to pay for vaocination might be treated at public expense. After some discussion of the subject Pres ident Spalding stated that he thought that, In view of the winter season prevailing, It would be advisable to dispense with the vac cination of pupils and allow those not in attendance toteturn Tor the present. This view was concurred In by other members of tho Board, but it was decided not to tako definite action In the matter nnttl the next regular meeting of the Board of Health, which will be hold on tho 20th Inst. Before adjourning the Board accepted tbe annual rsport of Secretary Curtln and or dered it to be presented at the next meeting of Council and printed. P. I).

This dives Him the Balance of Power and Makes the Democratic Borough Ticket an Uncertainty A Big Squabble In the Seeotid Ward. The Democratic primaries held last night were the Uvelest the party has had an local affairs in many years and there is not the slightest doubt that a big, broad mark of " bad blood" will be left In many place and count in future contests against tome one or other of tho leaden. In the First ward tbe contest was aa vigorous as it could be and at 'linos the politicians became so worked up that some of them cam to blows. John J. Toole and Martin Muliahey were among the "vigorous" campaigners and they made things very hot In their Immediate vicinity for a while.They were arraigned again each other as champions of opposing candidates for tho chairmanship of the wara and tho hot can vass had created some personal feeling. Muliahey' activity la local Democratic politics has caused him to become known as the Dick Crakcr of Shonandoah politics and the fame he has acquired, It is said, has nettled Mr. Toolo considerably. It is also alleged that Muliahey learned n few weeks ago of a scheme by which some of his friends were to be shut out and be gave it as much publicity as possible. Tho result was that tho scheme was defeated and It loft Toolo and several others in a bad frame of mind. Yesterday Toole's disoomforturo was increas ed by a suspicion that his favorlto for chair man of the First ward, Constable Matt. Giblon, was drifting bohind nniljhe got into a discussion with Muliahey and a fistic en counter followed. Toole stands almost head and shouldors over Muliahey, but tho latter ii as quick and full of pluck and fight as a pole cat. Toole struck at Muliahey several times, but the latter dodged and escaped the blows. One of them landed on the jaw of John Counors, a bystander, aud caused bis tcoth to rattlo, but did not inflict a serious Injury. Toolo eventually went down to tho floor with Muliahey on top. Friends inter fered and the disturbance was quashed. Mullahey's face and neck woro badly scratched by Toole while tbe latter was down. A scratch on the baok of tho neck is about six inches long. Tho result of tho primaries, so far as tho Borough ticket is concerned, Is not deter mined by tho returns, aud will not bo de finitely loarncd until after the conferrees meet to-night. According to tho returns Tax Collector M. J. Scanlan secures the conforroos in tho Second aud Fifth wards, Edward Burko secures the conferrees in tho Fourth and Third wards, and Patrick Graham gets the conferroes in tho First ward. This shuts Coury out of the Tax Collector fight and leaves Scanlan with O votes, Burke with 0 and Graham with three. It will bo seen that tho Graham conferrees hold the balance of power. It is said by soino that his conforroos will go ovor to Scanlan and by others it is claimed that they will go to Burke. It soems quite cortain that tho Burke and Scanlau conforreos will stand by their re spective favorites against all overtures and that tho Grahamites will decide who is to be the candidate for Tax Collector, but cannot land their own man. The nomination for Chief Burgess is in an equal stato of uncertainty. Jacob Noll, Sr., stated to-day that he felt confident of secur ing the majority of tho conferrees at to night's meeting, but their is a stronger im pression that A. P. Tabor will be tho man. Tho nominations for Borough Justices are also in tho balance of doubt. It is said that should Burke bo nominated for Tax Collector Walter Itynkewicas and Jere Toomey will bo tho nominees for Justices. Justice Cordiu was pleased with tho result in the Second and Fifth wards and it is presumed that Bhould Seanlan's conferres kecure tbe convention tho nominees for Justices will be Cardin and Toomey. Burke, the candldato for the Tax Collectorshlp nomination, orenly stated dur ing his campaign that lie and Bynkowioz had mado a combination. It is also reported that tho First ward conferrees incline toward Eynkewicx. Two surprises of tho primarios wsro the do feats of Councilman Patrick Kearns in tho Fourth ward and School Director Timothy O'Brien in tho First. The latter wasdefeated by "Little Joe" Coughlin, who is chief clerk at tho Kohinoor colllory. Councilman Patrick Hand's friends are jubilant over tho result of his fight in the Fifth ward. Efforts had been mado by tho bossos to get Hand to withdraw from the contest for the nomination for Couuoil.and leavo the field to Anthony Onaschack. This ho refused to do and he now stands victorof one of the hardest primary fights that have taken placo in tho ward. The results of tho primaries in the respec tive wards were as follows: riBBT WARD. Chairman Matt. Giblon, 130 1 Martin Fahoy, 03. Council-Daniel Qoakley, 100; Byrne, 1JJ.

From present indications it seem that there are to be two Demoeratio Ward tickets la tbe field. Immediately after announcing hi nomi nee last night Thomas Seanlan, who was elected ehainnan at the primary, left the place of meeting, it is said, in such a manner that his return was expected. It was awaited tor some time and several who re mained at the place asked, "Where fa the ward ticket?" The cry soon spread and re sulted in a second meeting at the same plaoe, of which William Delowery was made chair man and Edward J. Itatcbford secretary. This meeting then proceeded to put up a ward ticket and made the following nomina tions: Council, Killian O'Neal; School Directors, John F. Cleary (8 years) aud Ed ward J. Itatohford (8 yean.) Jndge of Election, Joseph Peters. Inspector, Thomas Devlin. C. J. Qulnn, tbe Democratic Standing Com mitteeman of tbe Second ward, was seen to day and aaked if he knew that a ticket had been pat op by his party in the Second ward. Mr. Qntnn replied that he knew of no such ticket, and there could be none ; that the re ports lo that effect were groundless. The situation in the ward, he stated, is a follows: Chairman Scanlan has appointed a committee of five to make up a ticket for the Second ward. Tliis committee consists of C. J. Oulun, M. II. Bradigan, F. J. Ilrcnnan, B. J. McGuIunesB and Thomas Dalton. Killian O'Neill was subsequently seen and he svttd he didn't care what Mr. Qninn, or anyone else, might say about the matter, mat a ticket was put up regularly In tbe ward and it would stay. "We have tried for a long time to break up a ring there, and we don't Intend to be balked this time." These are the facte as gleaned so far, and they are sufficient to show that Democratic harmony in the Second ward has received a severe blow on the ribs. Illakert'n Date.

SEflSATIOIiS IK THE SENATE A Protest Atfalrut Our Control of the Nicaragua Canal. 'CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLIC I Presents a Letter Objecting to the Conces sion Granted to the Canal Company by Cengrees British Arbitration Treaty and Cnba Also Arouse Senators WA8niNOTO, Jan. 2a The sosslon of tho Senate yenterday developed three dis tinct sensations. Most Important of those was the presentation by Mr. Sherman of a letter from Minister Tladrtguez, the repre sentative of the Greater Republic of Cen tral America, including Nicaragua, lu effect protesting against the execution of the Nicaragua canal project by the United State, under the concession granted lu 1887 to the Nlonragnnn Canal company. A the bill for this purpose was about to be voted on by the senate the appear ance of the letter oreated consternation among It friend. Mr. Morgan, It chief supporter, at once declared that the letter was Inspired by Great Britain, who sought to drive tho United States front the Isth mus by using the Central Americas a iv catspaw. He asserted that Minister Hod rlguez had come here to execute such a plan, and that It was nn open threat against American control of the canal. The debate was very earnest, and the let ter mndo a profound Impression on the senators. Senator "Vilas declared that It struck a death blow to the onual project proposed by the pending bill. Earlier in the day tho senate unexpect edly found Itself discussing the new A11- glo-Amerionn treaty. While tho treaty itself has been released, nil discussion of it is restricted- to executive sessions. Not withstanding this rulo the expressions wero free and full from Messrs. Sherman, Gray, Cullom, Lodge, Hoar and others. The statements of these senators were uni formly favorablo to the high principle of the treaty, the only qualification being that it should receive mature and dispas sionate cpnsUleratlon. Shortly after the session begau Mr. Tur plo caused a preliminary flurry by orltl oiziug the reported agreement between Mr. Olney and Mr. Sherman by whloh no action was to be taken as to Cuba beforo March 4. Mr. Sherman emphatically denlod that any such agreement had been mado, and added that he had not had a word with Mr. Olney In that dlreotlon. Mr. Turplo gave notice of a speech on tho Cnmorou Cuban resolution on Mondny. These throe incidents relating to current foreign questions mado tho day's session one of tho most ovontful In years. Yesterday was private bill day In tho house, and most of tho time was consumed with small bills. Tho bill to provide for holding terms of tho United States court of tho oastorn district of Toxas at the town of Beaumont, was passed ovor tho presi dent's veto by a votoof 141 to 08. Incidental to tho discussion Mr. Cooper, of Toxas, do clared that tho president vetoed the bill through a misapprehension, and that ho had vainly tried to get nn audience with Mr. Cleveland to explain tho moasuro. Mr. Grosvonor, of Ohio, spoko snroastically of tho president's custom of refusing to sea congressmen unless his private secretary npproved of their orrnnds. Vonslon bills for tho survivors of Gray's battalion of Arkansas volunteers who served In tho Mexican war and their wid ows, for tho widow of Genoral Groen Clay Smith at $50 a month, and tho widow of General George J. Leetat $85 wero passed. After tho night pension sosslon the house adjourned until Monday. Manager lluinmerstoln Indicted. New YortK, Jan. 123. Osoar Hammer stein, manager of tho Olympla Muslo Hall, was ludloted yesterday for main taining a public nuisance. Tho speclflo offense charged is that upon tho stage of tho'muslo hall there Is being given nightly a representation of scenes alleged to have transpired at tho now famous Seeley buohelor dinner a fow weeks ago. Hnm mersteln's travosty was entitled "Tho Silly Dinner," and among thoso taking part In it wore Corn Routt, Mlnuio Iteb woodnnd "Little Egypt," who had enter talnod guests at Seeley's dlnnor.
