SYDNEY, Aug. 1. A feature of the smallpox epidemic is that the ' a rent bulk of the patients are under thirty j-ears of-age. The doctors at Broken Hill have refused to accept the Government's terms for vaccinating, declaring that they work out at 2_d per head. The Maheno's mails were landed, but the passengers have been detained aboard until morning. Ten smallpox cases were reported in the metropolian area, including a prisoner at Darlinghurst. There was some demur at his removal to quarantine and eventually he was allowed to remain in gaol after being fumigated. Most of the gaol staff and some (.f the pi if.cners had previously been vaccinated. Two cases are reported in Orange.
