Nothing new to report-not an item
and rumor -spreaders are shy, fearing
clubs, which they rightly deserve, the
villains The main subject now
under discussion is the highly
colored dispatches sent to the
newspapers in other cities and which
the said papers have distorted mon
strously by constructed editorials.
People unused to these sensational
yarns have in some cases been fright
ened out of their wits. Two or three
leading newspapers, with wide infu-
ence, seem to have caught the
spirit of the thing and have spread
all there was in sight, doubtless with
view of drawing the rich trade of
this emporium to their own doors. If
indignation meetings are in order
one to consider the pretended news
dispatch business would be good
thing. At the same time the subject
of giving the fullest currency to actual
facts, without efforts to hide from
legitimate news-gatherers, should also
be urged.
Our special from Nashville an
nounces that the restrictive quaran-
tine regulations will be revoked with

1t is stated that the people on the
steamer j. W. Gaff, which boat left
here Friday last, had a rather rough
time of it at Cairo, where they we're
kept from landing for several hours.
The officers of the boat finally gained
permission to be towed several miles
above Cairo, from which point the
passengers were allowed to { de-
bark and walk to the railway, where
cars stopped to take them on. The
authorities of Cairo would under no
circumstances allow the people from
the disabled boat to set foot in their
town. 1t was about 2 clock on Mon
day morning, more than Sc hours after
leaving this port, that the passengers
were all transferred from the boat to
the cars. In the meantime the pas
sengers were huddled together on the
steamer in the most uncomfortable
manner. The crowd was much great
er than Captain Wise desired it to be,
but his efforts to prevent people
going were unavailing, and many
suffered the consequence The people
aboard numbered nearly $50, accord
ing to estimates, ovor 200 having been
counted, and several squads ran about
so that no count could be made.

ing on Short Time.
The British Army Contribute
$4,000 Pounds for a Statue

the Imperial Prince.
The Darien Canal Project and What
it Relies on for It's
Chief Profits.

LONDON, July 15.-Published sta
tistics show that the movement for a
reduction in the output is spreading
in the cotton districts. In addition
to the depression at Brockburn and
Oldham, already reported, 10000
spindlers at Preston are stopped out
of an aggregate of 100000. One
quarter Of the looms at Preston are
also stopped. At Accrington work is
very irregular, particularly in the
weaving department. Sixty-eight
spindlers are idle in two mills besides
the numerous other stoppages. In the
Leigh district $4,000 spindles are
working on short time, and 14,OOO are
stopped altogether. In the Hasting-
der district $4,000 spindles and II ,0O0
looms are idle.
After the statue Of the late Prince
Imperial has been placed in West
minister Abbeyan some other memo
rial erected with the fund contributed
by the British army, it has been re-
solved to devote the surplus of the
fund to the establishment of benev-

army fund alone will amount to ESQ.,
600.
RoUEN, July 15.-DeLesseps in a
speech recently, declared that the
friendship between France and the
United States would facilitate the con-
struction Of the Darien Canal. He
believed the canal would be completed
in five or six years. This is less than
his former estimate Of the time neces-
sary for the construction of the work.
1t is considered by some that DeLes-
Seps would have taken a more prudent
course if instead of asking for sub
scription of 400,000,000 francs for the
canal he had formed small prepara-
tory company to make more complete
investigations.
Paul Leroy Bealien points out that
it is not certain that the Nicaragua
route has not advantages that may
hereafter lead to the creation of a
second canal which would deprive De
LessepS' enterprise Of the trade of two
coasts of the United States, on which
it relies for its chief profits.

city on February 9th, condition of

him to return to Dublin, where his
aged and widowed mother needed
help. The subject was broached in
parliament, but nothing was done

here, having refused the gratuity given
to other released Fenians BY the
British government. He had even
made the voyage in the steamers
steerage, declining to use a cabin
ticket bought with British gold. The
fund in this city for Fenian ex-con-
vcts had all been distributed, so
OKelly was left to get ahead by him
self. He got work in Hogan's shoe
factory, in Newark. Prison life had
broken down his health, and four
weeks ago he suffered hemorrhage
of the lungs. Later attacks sent him
to his death-bed. His last request
was that his body might be left buried
in Newark until it could be trans
ferred to free Irish soil. He was
thirty four years old.

In consequence of the retirement of
DR.. Falk from the ministry of eccle-
siastical affairs the ecclesiastical laws
have been enforced with more leni-
ency, and this may ultimately have
the effect of procuring recognition
of the ecclesiastical laws by the
Vatican.
Bills have been introduced in the

articles of the German constitution
by which the legislature must meet and

which the duration of parliament is
fixed at three years.
A bill which proposed substitute
for the biennial meetings of parlia-
ment and the biennial budgets has
created considerable sensation, as tend
ing to further free government from
parliamentary control The technical
reason alleged for the change is the
inconvenience of discussing two bud
gets, Prussian and Imperial, in the
same year. 1t was suggested some
time ago that they might be taken W
alternate years. The creation of de,
partment for the control of imperia
railroads is also regarded as a ster
toward rendering the government lesi

Mon1Lr Rerister 18th "There WAS

MOBILE Register 18th There was
considerable talk on the streets yes
terday in regard to yellow fever in
Memphis. The absence of any def.
mite information led to all kinds Of
rumors and copjectures. Of course,
as is always the case, these rumors
and conjectures were of a glommy ma
ture, for mankind generally seems to
prefer to look on the dark side Of
things. The dispatch we publish this
morning shows that there is q strong
probability Of no further spread Of the
disease in the panic-stricken city.
And we do not blame Memphis, in
view Of its last years experience, for
being panic stricken. We hope sin
cerely that Memphis may escape a
second visitation of the pestilence,
and if sickness should appear there
or at any other point, we think it best
for our people to await definite infor-
nation before spreading reports as to
the number of cases, etc.

"What do the people of New Or

return of Yellow Jack this summer ?"
There will be no yellow fever
there this summer, you may rely upon
that. The fever never visits us when
we have had a very cold winter and a
dry and backward spring. Last
winter we had snow, and for three
days in succession the icicles hung
from the caves Of the houses. Besides,
large sums have been raised by sub
scription for sanitary purposes, and
water is pumped regularly from the
river into the cutters to keep them
clean. / don't think there will be a
single case Of yellow fever in New
Orleans this summer"

married James Thorn. Being left a

ried Robert Whitaker. Her wealth

no living relatives nearer than cous-

Quarantine.
Louisville Post, 12th,1

Louisville POST 18th.
There is no demand, as yet, even
from the most timid, for a quarantine
as far north as Louisville. But we
are glad to say that, as far as our
observation goes, there will be no
such demand. Our physicians, how
ever much they may be divided on
other questions, seem to justify the
course pursued last year. We are in
condition to act in the same manner
this season. Louisville, it may be
safe to say, will not, in any state of
affairs likely to be brought about, turn
away the refugees from the South.
Those who come sick, will be relieved !;
those who come seeking safety, will be
allowed to stay or pass on. The hor-
rors Of such plague as that of last
summer are great, no doubt; so much
the stronger reason for not intensity
ing them by quarantine, where and
when a quarantine is useless.
The news from Memphis to-day is
cheering Cases such as have occurred
were alarming only as they indicated
the presence of the disease in an epi-
demic form. The conclusions now
must be that they were only sporadic,
and consequently furnish no grounds
for panic.

other the Chinese in Cuba are to enjoy
all the rights conferred upon citizens

are not to be recognized as binding
