SMALLPOX IN CANADA,

The Scourge Abating. But Repressive Meas
ures Still Active Hopes Thati the Epi-.
demic May be Soon Stayed.
MONTREAL, CAM, August 29.-The
citizens yesterday were in far better
spirits here than for some time past
on the news gaining currency that
there was great reduction in the num-
Der of deaths from smallpox Thursday
as compared with the previous day.
The total number reported was only
three against nineteen for the preced-
ing twenty-four hours. The falling of
was as marked in the total of new cases,
there being only five as COM
pared with seventy-fve the pre-
vious day. If this change
continues, there is little doubt felt by
medical men that the progress of the
scourge will soon be permanently stayed.
There will be no relaxation in the efforts
of the health authorities and on the part
of the citizens to eradicate it altogether
from the city. The opening of all the
public schools in the city. has been post
poned for fifteen days, and the cheap
theaters will be kept closed until the cpl
demic is arrested permanently. The dis
ease is very bad in st. Jean
Baptiste village, the filth of
the place and neglect of pre-
cautions by the inhabitants rem
dering all efforts futile to stop its
progress. The municipal authorities are
now alive to the crisis, and have appoint
ed an energetic health inspector, who is
actively engaged in using disinfectants
in the houses and all other proper means
to stay the disease. The health officer
reports the deaths since Saturday at
twenty, and the number Ill at fifty-four.
Several denials came yesterday from the
Mayors of villages outside where it was
reported the disease had appeared.

A NEW DEAL.

Mexico Considering the Removal of Some
of the Excessive Import Duties and the
Collection of More Taxes on Real E tate.
Ell PAso, TEX, August 2S.-Senor
Riorson, the newly-appointed Governor
of Lower California, was interviewed
here yesterday on Mexican affairs. Gov
ernor Riorson says that American bust
ness men and manufacturers look for a
decided reduction of the exorbitant du-
ties that now prevail in Mexico aud OBJ
struct her commerce. President
Diaz informed him that ne ia
vored and would urge taxing
real estate heavily to enable this
reduction of duties on imports, land would
bring his personal influence to bear upon
the Congress about to assemble to bring
about this change. Real estate In Mex
leo is taxed very lightly, while import
duties are relatively more burdensome in
Mexico than in any other country in the
world. The Governor believes this re-
duction will be brought about this year.
Pierson is native of Texas, and enjoys
the confidence of Diaz to a very high de-

THE CYCLONES WORK.

Terrible Devastation Caused In Charleston
8. c.. lsy the Recent Cyclone-Losses Ag-
gregating over $1,000, 900 A Wreck
Strewn Coast.The Ocean Covered With
the Remnants of Wrecked or Dismantled
Vessels.
AUGUSTA, GA, August 27.-Tuesday's
storm in Charleston was a cyclone in the
proper sense of the term, entirely differ
ent from the usual August storms or the
coast equinoxial gales. The wind was
finally run up to seventy or eighty miles
an hour. The northern edge of the
cyclone touched Charleston and complet-
ed it's passage in forty minutes. The
streets of Charleston were not more des-
olate at the end of two hours lombard
ment during the war. The storm began
properly at daylight from the southeast,
with frequent gusts. AS early as 6 a.
m. the roof of St. Michae's
Church was stripped. At seven
O'Clock the apparatus in the roof
of the signal office, the flagstaff and
weathervane were demolished, the last
observation before the climax of destruc-
ton recorded the wind at sxty-eight
miles an hour. The water in the river
came over the granite wall on the bat
terry, breaking fagstones and washing
away ratings, and tons of sea water
were hurled in upon handsome resi-
dences, breaking windows and smashing
doors. The last time the battery was
torn up was in 1876. Everything is in
ruins at the wharves.
The damage to houses in the city can
not be estimated. The pleasure boats on
Rutledge Street Lake were piled up on
the northern shore in confused mass OF
broken hulks. The convent of the Sisters
OF Mercy was seriously damaged and un-
rooted. The South Battery was the
scene of great confusion and damage to
shipping. The streets were flooded with
water and crafts of every description
were washed ashore and were floating in
the streets at high tide. The fishermen's
boats were destroyed, and the wharves
piled high with homogeneous wrecks. The
northwestern and central portions of the
city suffered slight damage compared
with that along the water front, though
the entire portion of the city west of Rut-
ledge avenue was submerged with water
from one to three feet deep, and in sew
eral cases reaching the first floors. One
mile of railroad track was washed away,
and freight stations were damaged con-
siderably. The following is rough es-

A wRECK-STREWN COAST.

A wRECK-STREWN COAST.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August 28.-Cap-
tain Vogel of the steamer City of Pa
latka, from Charleston, which arrived
here yesterday morning, reports passing
twenty or thirty large vessels totally dis
masted, the result of the recent gales.
None of them, however, asked for as
sistance, and he did not 60 near enough
to them to ascertain their names. They
were making some Roadway under small
improvised sails. He also reports find
ing the hull of the Charleston pilot boat
John Stoddard totally dismasted and full
of water, off the mouth of North Edisto
River, bearing west-northwest, hanging
at anchor. He went close up to her,
but found no one, and he has every rea-
son to believe that her entire crew are
lost. The ocean from Charleston to st.
Johns Bar is covered with drift stuff
from vessels.
The damage to the wharves will proba-
bly, reach half million dollars, but large
gangs of hands are at work and in few
DAYS sufficient accommodations for all
possible business will be provided. There
is even now no interruption or any addi-
tional expense to shippers. A heavy
rain yesterday afternoon aggravated the
annoyances to persons whose roofs were
blown of, but will not increase materi-
ally the general loss. The total loss of
the phosphate companies and in about the
city is now estimated at $4,000. The
reports from Georgetown say that the
rice is not seriously injured
Norwegian named John Myerhoff,
and man named John Lanster, went
shrimping Monday. Their boat was cap
sized and Lanster was drowned. Late
last evening the Italian bark Mariana,
Captain Rugier, arrived at the bar. The
Captain came to the city on tug, and
reported fifty miles from Charleston the
vessel was struck by gale and lost her
masts, sails and rigging One seaman
was washed overheard and drowned.

war path and had threatened the agent.
A messenger was dispatched to the
agency, and 1t was found that no trouble
existed and the Indians. were perfectly
satisfied aud happy. Major Swan, the
agent, when told of the report, was sur

lieved to be one of the best managed in
the country, and the Indians are far

MADRID, August 27.-The Government
has closed the doors of the Army and
Navy Club, because officers belonging to
the club have returned their German dec
orations, and because the club has struck
from its list of honorary members the
names of German officers and that of the
Crown Prince of Germany. The press
and army are disguised by the amicable
attitude suddenly displayed by the Cabi-
net toward Germany. Ministerial papers
have adopted modified tone, while OPP
position journals attack Germany with
increased vigor. The result is that seven
OF the latter papers have been seized and
will be prosecuted.
