THE PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT.

The following petition will be forwarded
o the President in the morniug:
We, the committee appointed, sincerely
petition that the fund OF 100000, in the
event Of the outbreak of yellow-fever or
other epidemic disesss on the coast of our
country, be placed at the dIrptsa of the
National Board OF Health. That body can
give confidence to the people Of The valley as
10 the necessary precautions and safeguards
yearly demanded by the exposure OF the
Southern ports to the ravages OF yellow
fever. Their inspection stations, and the
methods their officers have adopted in mat
tiers OF isolation and disinfectiop, and in
establishing quarantine only when the
emergency of the occasion demands it, have
earned for the National Board a degree OF
confidence that OF itself alone is worth mil.
lions of dollars to the commerce Of the csun-
Try. To supplant this body, or with
hold from il necessary funds 10 maintain in-
spection stations at all exposed points, will,
IN our humble judgment, cause the wheels
to commence 10 clog, bring about feeling
OF dishu.t, and on fret alarm, be 1t true OF
false, cause recourse TO shotgun policy quar-
sntIne, which can but prove destructive 10
the commercial interests OF the Mrs ssippi
valley, which in measure affsc the entirt
Uniou. With these views submitted with
full faith in The appreciation and solicitude
you must feel for the public health and
welfare, We herewith subscribe ourselves
your most humble petitioners.

OF OHIO, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, lows

TIE Confederate bondbolders in
London have organized another syn
dicate. They propose to appeal to the
Southern States separately, and to
present the argument that the bond
holders have equities on their side,
and that Ii YeHIa be better to pay q
triae on the debt apd get rid OF it,
than to rest forever under the stigma
of reputation. The Confederate
debt is said to be about $4O0,0OO,OOO.
The members Of the syndicate
avn pnIy a small amount Of
the bonds, bRt eEpest ts get In and
represent about SlOQ,000,0O0. Their
plan Is to deposit these bonds with
the National Safe Deposit Company
for FIVE years, giving scrip in return,
and if after FIVE years nothing has
been accomplished, the holders have
the right to withdraw the bonds on
returning the certificate, The bond
holders are TO have the first FIVE per
sent obtained in settlement and one
half Of the amount obtained above this.
If the members of the syndicate could
get IL per cent from the States, set
Element With the bondholders would
leave 81 per cent or $4,000 1909, as the
share Of the company. The eptiTe
scheme Is denounced By o contempos
rary as one of the most iwpertinept
ever planned, and the idea of putting
an embargo on Southern enterprises
through such a subtle scheme, il
scarcely better than an attempt at
wholesale blackmail.

Special to the Courier-JOurnui.

W WV NOAkl0E-OOUIuula
WASHINGTON, July ga few DAYS
ago the Secretary of the Treasury was
appealed to by citizens of Norfolk and
vicinity to do something for their re.
lief. The United States Marine
Hospital Service, under the direction
OF Surgeon General j. B. Hamilton,
had previously established a quaran-
tine at the mouth of the bay, aud sent
the hospital barge to Hampton Roads
for the reception of yellow fever suf,
ferers, the Andean being allowed to
anchor about six miles out from the
ocean beach and Fortress Monroe un-
til relieved by the health inspector.
The boats, anchored in plain view of
thousands Of men, women and children,
were unpleasant sights, and it was to
SECURE their removal to other waters
that an appeal was made to Secretary
Folger. On consultation with the
Surgeon General it was decided TO call
meeting of the health authorities at
Baltimore, Washington, Richmond,
Portsmouth, Norfolk, Ocean View,
Newport News and Fortress Monroe,
to discuss the general situation and
hit upon a plan which would insure
concert OF action, on the part of the
parties concerned, in the emergency

the benefit ofall ayailableknowledge as

vent the entrance Of infected vessels.
the following resolution was offered
by DR.. Benson and adopted,
Resolved, That the Secretary of
the Treasury be requested to establish
a rigid quarantine between the capes
immediately and to continue it as long
as he thinks it necessary"
DR.. Townsend offered the following,

YELLOW FEVER SHIP.
A steamer From Vera Cruz With
the Fever Aboard, EnIers
Baltimore HarbOF.
spsoIaI . oOmmercIal Gasotte.


WASHINGTON, July 29.-The an
pouncement that steamship from
Vera Cruz lay in Baltimore harbor.
yesterday morning, with four sick from
yellow fever on board, and having lost
four from the disease on the voyage,
created great surprise at the Marine
Hospital Service. 1t had been thought
that such arrangements had been
made that it would not be possible for
g ship to pass the capes without being
stopped by the revenue cutters, and
required to go to the quarantine stas
tion there, but the steamship Cali
fornia eluded the vigilance of the
small revenue launch, which
was lett cruising in the waters of the
Chesapeake bay while the revenue
cutter Ewing was ordered up the Pos
temac to take the Surgeon General of
the Marine Hospital Service to the
consultation with the health authors
ties about Norfolk, as to the location
of the quarantine. Hampton Roads is
a large cruising ground, and If sani-
tary patrol is to be maintained there,
so as to keep all infected vessels out
side the capes, the Government will
be obliged to provide larger cruising
force than the one revenue cutter
which is assigned to that entire dis
trict. 1t would be very easy on dark
night for an infected ship to pass up
Chesapeake Bay.
Private advices from Baltimore say
that the strictest possible quarantine
has been established against this ship.
That the pilot, who was taken on OUT
side the cspes, ignorant OF the fact
that there was any sickness on board,
is not to be allowed to leave the ship,
and that food is taken to the vessel ar
the sides. The quarantine orders are
to permit no person to approach oil
leave the vessel. 1t is, Of course
hoped and expected that the illness
will be confined to the ship, but the
sanitary condition Of Baltimore il
such that if the disease should gain |
fOothold there, there would be good
cause for apprehension.

CAREY, the informer, met his death
sooner than the public expected. 1t
would have been more creditable to
him to have been hung with the
others implicated in the PheniX
Park murder cases. 1t was only a
question of time. He went out into

THE NATIONAL HEALTH.
The Marine Hospital Service
Again in Control of Sani-
taFy Affairs,
Special to the Commercial Gazette

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Ma
rine Hospital Service, owing to the
non~aotion of Congress and construc-
ton OF the law by Secretary Folger,
has been again placed at the head OF
the national health system. The ex.
tended and powerful movement oripi-
nally aimed against the Marine Hos
pital GoQtrol of such matters, which
resulted In the repeal OF portions Of
the law Of 1873 and the creation of
the .National BOARD Of Health, has
thus, by curious combination OF
circumstances, resulted in placing the
Marine Hospital Service exactly at the
point where it was Eve years ago, the
National Board of Health having in
the interim had an experience OF four
years.
Secretary Eolger's decision on the
legal points as to the revival of the
Marine Hospital Law of 1873 will
hardly be questioned by those who
ie9 that in this emergency the United
States certainly ought to have some
law under which summary measures
can be taken to preserve the national
health from infected ships. The Oh,
ponents of the Marine Hospital CON
! troll Of these matters, who have been
defeated by the extinction OF the Ma.
tional Board Of Health, will therefore

have no redress until Congress comes
and none then, unless they can induce
that body to strip the Marine Hos
pital Service of the very extraordinary
powers with which, by peculiar cir
cumstances, it has just been clothed.
The local authorities are making
preparations to thoroughly clean the
city and they do not forgot that the
very large disturbance Of the earth's
surface caused by the improvement
of the river front may prove an invi-
tation to disease in case of an epidem-
10, Just as similar disturbances of the
earth's surface have been intimately
connected with epidemics in Southern
cities.

CHICAGO, July 31.-The relatives
of the late Thomas II. Hayne, who
was killed in an accident on the Rome,
Watertown and Ohio railroad, give
deplorable recital Of the condition Of
affairs in and about the wreck, and
upbraid severely the alleged neglect Of
the railroad officials. A son Of Mr.,

any process, to reach the ScSpp aI the
disaster in making application to the
railway officials.
A daughter Of Mr., Hoype relates
that no attention was paid to the dead
after the accident, and that bodies
were lying on the side Of the road
exposed to view fourteen hours after
the disaster.
1t is further declared that par les
we're opening valises and searching
the bodies Of the dead while the em>
plOyes Of the road were engaged in
removing the debris. Mr.. Hayne had
large sum Of money with him, but
his relatives state that his watch and
other valuahles are missing, though a
portion Of them may be in the custody
of the Coroner.

NAPLES, July 3l.-The search in
the ruins for the bodies Of victims of
the earthquake on the Island Ischia
was continued during the night All
bodies recovered are buried imme-

witness describes the scene at the
theater at Cassamiciola when the
earthquake occurred as awful. The
curtain had just risen when tremen-
dous shock was felt. A fearful roar
followed, and the ground rocked like
the sea in storm.
A great cry of terror arose from the
audience, who we're. thrown into
heap, and large number were buried
beneath the timbers of the building,
which fell on them. Two more shocks
occurred. All who could. rushed
outside of the theater, and hundreds
clambOred into trees for safety. Most
Of the people, however, escaped to the
shore, where bonfres were lighted as
signals of distress. Hundreds of half
naked men and women, wild with
terror and grief, ran to and fro
amongst the ruins with torches during
the night, searching for missing
friends.
LONDON, July 3l.-O'Donnell, who
shot James Carey the informer, was
