The boy had taken breakfast that morning with his father in the Parliamentary restaurant, and had been for a part of the day in the latter'a room on the Senate side of the House, As soon as the disease was diagnosed he was liurried to the smallpox hospital en Porter's Island. Senator Comeau was placed under quarantine., and prompt mea.sures were taken to disinfect the room in the Parliament •buildings where the boy had been. Dr. Law states that as the case was discovered in its first stages, and is only of a very mild type, no further infection is likely, and it will not bo necessary to quarantine the rest of the legislators. However, t•hey will bo kept to ..somo extent der sur- veillanee for tho itext ten days, in order to make sure that no infection has taken place.
