Tho board has still failed to take un and
decide tho vaccination at raised by the com-
mlttee on compulsorj- education of the
School Board. Of tho 393 childron kent out
of school by reason of the enforcement of
the vaccination laws 67 are children of
parents who are too poor to pay tho physl
cian'rt fees and tbo parents of nearly a hun
dred object to the vaccination of their child
ren during tho winter season, asserting that
too much danger attend! the operations in
winter.
The committee on compulsory education.
which is composed of School Directors
Troziso, Edwards and Williams, as well as
iruant Uluccr Brown, found a puzzling situa
tion confronting them, namely : tbo law re
quiring children to attend school, and that
prohibiting thom from attending withsut
vaccination. In order to take a step towards
adjusting tho matter tho committee decidod
to first take up tho poverty cases, whero
parents wore too poor. When tho vaccination
laws were last enforced the Board of Health
made arrangements by which children were
treated at tho borough's oxponso, so tbo
compulsory education conimltteo appeared
before tbo Board of Health at a recent
special meeting callod for tho pur
poso and slated tho facts. At this
meeting Prosident Spalding stated that
ho was not disposed to enforco the vaccina
tion laws while severo wlntor weather Is pre
valent, but it was tbo sentiment of tbo Board
that it would bo better to take action in tho
matter at a regular meeting. Last night the
subject was revived by the Board, but it was
docided to postpono action on account of
Presidont Spalding's absence aud tiie Board
adjourned to meet at the call of tho president.

Passes the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 80. By tho decisive
vote of 48 to 4 the senate yesterday passed
the bill for the appointment of commis
sioners to an International monetary oon
ferenoe. The Mil la substanoe If as follows:
"That whenever, after March 4, the
president of the United States shall de
termine that the United States should be
represented at any International confer
ence called by the United Suites or any
other oouutry with a view to securing by
International agreement a fixity of rela
tive value between gold and sliver as

point five or more commissioners to such
international conference, and that the
president of the United States is author
ised in the namo of the government of the
United States to call, In his discretion,
snob, international conforenoo to ossemblo
at such points as may be agreed upon.
The house yesterday witnessed another
exciting ami somewhat sensational epi
sode. At the end of an aorimonlons de
bate on the conference 'report on the bill
to confer the rights and franolses of the
Atlantioand Psxjtflo railroad , on the pur
chase under the mortgage foreclosure,
Mr. Powers, of Vermont, and Mr. Barrett,
of Massachusetts, exchanged broadsides.
Mr. Powers defended the oonferenoe re
port against the assaults of half a score of
members led by Mr. Barrett. The latter
was particularly severe In his orlticisms,
charging that a stock jobbing operation
was behind the measure. ThU drew from
Mr. Powers near the olose of the debate a
reply, In which he charged that Boston
was the homo of the railroad wreckers,
and with keen satire ridiculed the Massa
chusetts member, and oonolnued that per
haps he "was Interested" in his opposi
tion. Mr. Barrett In responding was very vic
ious, notonly denying absolutely any In
terest in the bill, but scoring Mr. Powers,
who, he said, was on tho supreme bench
of Vermont whon tho Control railroad of
that state was ' 'wrecked under lte decrees. "

Life on a Farm.
Cantom, O., Jan. 80. "I have been ten
dered and have accepted the war port
folio." Gen. Itussell A. Alger, of Michi
gan, made this statement to an Associated
Press reporter last night. Major McKln
ley aud General Alger had just completed
tt.e Interview In whloh the formal tender
and aooeptanoe were passed. At 4:15 he
returned to Cleveland to renew his con
ference of the morning -with National
Chairman Hanna and will go thence to his
home In Detroit. In conversation with the
Associated Press representative at the
depot the general said that the first over
tures were made to him yesterday In con
nection with the cabinet, and that at no
tlmo before had Major McKluley said any
thing directly or Indirectly on the subjeoh
General Russell A. Alger was born In
Lafayotte township, Medina oounty, O.,
Fob. 37, 1888. His grandfather served in
the revolutionary war and Is olaimed to
have been a descendont of William, tho
conqueror. Whon 11 years of age both
IttJRSELL A. ALdEIt.
his parents died. For tho noxt seven
years ha worked on a farm, earning monoy
to defray his oxponsos at tholtlclilleld (O.)
aondomy durlug tho winters. Subse
quently ho taught school, nnd In March.
1857, entered a law office In Akron. Two
years later ho was admitted to tho bar.
-He-entered the law office of Otis & Coflln-
bury, in Cleveland, but abandoned tho
practice of law the following autumn on
account of falling health, and moved to
Grand Haplds, Mloh. , whero ho ongaged
In tho lumber buslnoss, and whore. In
1801, he was married to Annette II. Houry.
In 1801 Alger enlisted In tho Second
Miohlgan cavalry and was mado a captain
of Company C. Ho was wounded In tho
battle of Boonevlllo, Miss. Owing to his
part in this engagement he was promoted
to the rank of major. In 1852 ho becamo
lieutenant colonel of tho Sixth Michigan
cavalry, his regiment being in Custer's
famous brigade. In 1864 his health Induced
him to retire from the service, he was bre-
vetted brigadier nnd major genoral "for
gallant and meritorious service," nnd was
on private service In 1868-04, receiving
orders porsonnlly from Prosldont Llnooln.
In 1866 ho moved to Detroit, where he
has slnoe been extensively ongaged In
lumber and plno land buslnoss. Ho oper
ates oxtenslvo tracts and mills In Michi
gan and In the Canadian Georgian bay re
gion. General Alger was elected governor
of Miohlgan In 1881. In 1888 he was ono
of the loading candidates for tho Hepubll
oan nomination for president. The acri
mony which developed between the Alger
workers and those of Senator Sherman,
who was also a candidate, was lntenso.and
the breach of friendship caused thereby
between the general and senator Is be
lioved to havo only recently been healed.
In an Intervlow nt Clevolnnd last night
General Alger said that ho and Senator
Sherman were on good terms.
The McKluley cabinet Is uoy lookod
upon as neurly oomplete. The last one
named, that of General Alger for secre
tary ot war, about finishes the list. The
cabinet, it Is pretty certain, will be mado
up as follows:
Secretary of state, John Sherman of
Ohio; secretary of the treasury, Lyman
J. Gage of Illinois; secretary of war, Ilus
seir A. Alger of Miohlgan ; secretary of
the navy, J. D. Long of Massachusetts;
secretary of the interior, Joseph McKenna
of California ; postmaster general, H. C.
Payne of Wisconsin; attorney general,
Nathan OoH of West Virginia ; secretary
of agrtoulturo, James Wilson of Iowa.
