MEMPHIS, Nov, l5.-The members of
the national yellow fever commission de-
part tonight for Richmond, Va. On their
report to be made they will advocate a
system of national quarantine under the
direction of the United States government.
The commissioners are convinced from
their investigation that the yellow fever is
not indigenous in the atmosphere in any
part of the United States and that in New
Orleans it was caused by importation
Whatever doubt there may be 10 the case
of New Orleans, there is no doubt but that
it was carried from New Orleans to every
other point The disease does not seem
to be prevented from prevailing epidemic
ally, either by distance from the sea leyel,
as under favorable circumstances for it's
dissemination it might prevail in any part
of the United States. Heretofore the sea-
board quarantine as far as the Gulf of
Mexico is concerned, and making excep-
tioDs this year in case of Texas, have been
inadequate to prevent the introduction of
the disease The difficulties of inland
quarantine are SO many and SO great in
cases OF towns on the Mississippi river or
ln cases of towns having extensive railroad
connections, as to make it almost practc-
ably impossible With this view of facts
the commission are Of the opinion that the
only reasonable protection to keep yellow
fever from this country is system of ma
tioual quarantine.

ing in the Diet to-day, declared that the
policy of Austro Hungary was to prevent
Turkey from becoming prey to RusSla.
He expressed firm hope that the Berlin
treaty would be punctually observed. 1t,
however, any power should resist the ex-
ecution of the treaty, Austria, who had
been able to kharmonize her interests with
those of Europe, would not stand alone III
