BILOXI GUARANTEED.
Startling Stories OF the Ravages of
Yellow Fever There.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-THE state
board of health, having received informa-
ton of the prevalence of fever at Biloxi,
Miss, eighty miles distant, and the death
there of number of persons, held special
meeting to-day to consider the matter.
The statement made before the board
showed that an itinerant mechanic, Sump-
ter, who came from Biloxi died Yesterday
at Mississippi City. The physician pro-
nOunced Sumpter'S disease bilious fever,
but one of the nurses said that he vomted
black stuff. DR.. Walker made the alarm
ing statement as coming from people from
Biloxi that nearly every family there
had cases of fever. He was told
that. in all. there existed up to
last night 275 cases; that for the
past two weeks people had been buried
quietly at night, and that in the day time
the bodies were laid away surreptitiously.
Charles Marshall, superintendent of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad, stated that
he was told that Dr.. Lemon had pronounced
the cause of his wlfe's death at Biloxi as
yellow fever. Mr. Marshall had received
telegram from the station agent which bore
the information that there were thirty or
forty cases at Biloxi, and that Drs. Lemon
and Maybin had difficulty about the
nature of the fever, DR.. Lemon adhering
to the belief that it was unquesti0nably
yellow fever. The board thereupon issued
notice to the officials of Biloxi, declaring
strict quarantine against it.
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss, Oct. H.
Through mass meeting of citizens to-day
there was established shotgun quaran-
tine against Biloxi, to take effect at once.

Mr.. Underwood. contractor who has

CURED near Post Siding. He had train
of ten cars loaded with material to be used
in the construction of the road, which he
wanted to take to Buffalo. Wright county.
He had the train ready at Post Siding to
bring to ST. Paul and be taken thence to
Minneapolis. Just before the train left a
crowd of men came up and one of them
told him not to move the train. He eX-
planned who he was and what he wanted,
whereupOn the leader of the men pushed
him down an embankment. Recovering.
Mr. Underwood said he drew couple of
revolvers and told the man if he made any
further talk or any hostile movements, he
would kill him on the spot. This had the
effect he desired and he moved his train
load of construction material to st. Paul.

AID THE SuFFFRFRS.

1t does not do the people of st. Paul
credit that the appeal made by the mayor
in behalf of the Marshall county sufferers
should have gone so long unheeded. Through
the utter destruction of crops which the
late hail storm brought about in Marshall
county, nearly seven hundred people are
rendered destitute, lacking even the neces-
saries of life. A severe winter is coming
on and these people are absolutely UMPIRE
pared to meet it. For this reason they
have appealed to the generosity of the more
fortunate jewellers of the cities. confident
that their cry would not be in vain. And it
should not be. st. Paul has in the past
shown that she can be sympathetic in
practical way and she never had more
worthy occasion upon which to exhibit her

ON THE WRONG TRACK.

The railway managers are barking up
the wrong tree. They refuse to arbitrate,
but demand that Mayor AMES shall furnish
police to run their trains for them. The
railway managers ought to understand that
it is not part of the duty of mayor of a
city to act as brakeman or engineer on a
railway train. He has more important
duties to perform than pulling coupling
pins or building fires in railway engines.
His duty is to enforce the municipal ordin-
ances and to maintain peace within the
bounds of his municipality. The business
of running railway trains belongs to rail-
way companies. And if they are inter-
ferred with there is state law to protect
them and state government to enfore
the laws

roo STiEE.NECKED.

BY refusing to accept Mayor AMEs'
proposition for an arbitration the railway
managers have turned the tide OF pubic
sympathy against themselves and in favor
of the strikers. The view that the public
will take of it will be that their refusal to
arbitrate is a confession of a lack of justice
on their side. A party to a quarrel who Is
confident of the justice of his cause Is not
afraid to submit to fair arbitration. 1t Is
only the one who relies more upon might
than right to secure his ends who will de-
cline to arbitrate. But if the railway
companies have justice on their side public
opinion will not sustain the arbitrary, stiff
necked policy they are pursuing. The pub
lie has some rights involved in this cOntro-
versy which must be respected. The public
interests require speedy settlement OF the
trouble. In order to bring this about it is
well enough understood that there must be
conciliatory spirit manifested by both
sides. Public opinion has settled down
to the conviction that arbitration is the
proper mode to settle disputes between en-
ployers and employees. and public opinion is
something that even railroad companies
cannot ride down.

ton reaches S13. 900, 900 in value and that
this season New York handled less than a
million pounds more than Chicago, while a
few years ago that city did not import a
pound. According, therefore, TO the Chi
cage calculations, in very short time
the tea trade of the country will
be centered there. But there is an
obvious fallacy in this reasoning.
The very grounds upon which Chicago
bases her statements that New York's SUI
premacY in this particular direction is
doomed, indicate her own overthrow in
favor Of ST. Paul. This city is the terminus
of the Northern Pacific road, the shorte ST
line. in connection with the steamers, from
Japan. and the road over which the tea
naturally comes. 1t is therefore manifest
that in accordance with the idea that the
tread of commerce is westward, all the
arguments which Chicago advances in SUP
port of her own position apply with even
more force to st. Paul, which is nearer the
producing region, and that instead of the
Garden City the Sanity City will be the
great tea market and importing center of
the country before many years roll around.

BURNING THE FLAG.

If the MCGILL professions can find moth
ing better to do than to burn American flags
because they happen to have on them the
name of gallant soldier, who imperiled
his life to defend the flag, then it is time
that the wheat ring bosses were calling the
candidates in. A few more such incidents
as the Fergus Falls torchlight procession
and the people of Minnesota will be rally
ing around the ANIEs standard to a man.
The old flag has too many precious memoir
les clustering about it, and the names of the
country's gallant soldiers are too much re-
spected to permit such indignities as were
heaped upon the flag and its defender at
Fergus Falls to go unrebuked.

INSULTING FOREIGNERS.

The Republican bosses are getting
very mad at our foreign population. Not
satisfied with denominating Irishmen as
bog trotters,' the Repub lean orators now
speak of our Scandinavian friends as
''brainless asses" Our Minnesota citizens
of foreign birth are too independent to sub
NIT to ring domination and possess too
much manliness to bow the head in sub
mission every time the party whip is
cracked over them. And because they do
possess this manly independence the Re-
publican bosses heap insult upon them.
Now let the foreigners rise up in their
might to aid the Democrats in turning the
KnOW-Nothing rascals out.

TuEY LOOK TO TILE WEST.

Dakota may consider herself Endorsed by
the action of the New York Republicans in
nominating THEODORE ROOSEVELT, who
has lately been somewhat prominent as a
cattle man in the Little Missouri country.
1t must be admitted that among their ma
tive Republicans New Workers haven't
much sound msyOralty timber, and il they
are to go out OF the state for it they could,
perhaps, go to no better place than Dakota.
The Republicans of that territory. from
long association with Democrats of great
excellence and ability, are really very
meriterious lot of people, and when they
are also, as in TEDDY ROOsEVELT'S case,
cowboys of of proven bravery and endur-
ance. to whom the wild grizzly, the bump
tious broncho and the kicking steer have be-
come through daily experience familiar and
tractable. such people. it is evident, possess
elements more than desirable in the make
up of metropolitan mayor.
While the West must, then, undoubtedly
feel com plimented upon the honor done her
in the selection of one of her people as the
leader of a great party in the country's me-
tropoIis, it must be prepared to accept phil
osophcally the refusal by the voters of
New York to giv3 him an opportunity to
put into practice those excellent ideas
which residence In Dakota as an eminent
cowboy has doubtless implanted his mind.
Mournful though the fact may be to his
fellow Dakotans. the absence of all Mug
wumpism in his attitude towards the
ubiquitous horsethief, and the entire readi-
ness with which he has at all times re-
spOnded to invitations to assist at the dis
posal of that individual when caught. while
properly endearing him to the cowboy con-
stituency, does not appeal strongly to the
Eastern voter ignorant of the ethics of
Western life.
1t is, therefore, foregone conclusion
that TEDDY will not leave the prsiries of
Dakota for the gilded idleness of city official
life. Instead it is probable that when the
Hon. ADRIAN S. HEWITT, the Democratic
nominee, gets through with him he will feel
in more battered condition than if he had
been trying to ride bareback the worst
bucking broncho on his ranch, and con-
tinued residence in the recuperatiye West
will be only too acceptable.

the great disaster at Johnson's Bayou and
Sabine Pass: The steamer Emily p re-
turned at 3 o'clock this afternoon. bringing
l60 additional sufferers from Johnson's
Bayou, who are entirely destitute of every
thing that is necessary to maintain life.
They were received at the wharf by our

One can only know the heartrending con-
ditlOn of these people by seeing and con-
versing with them. We have two
steamers, two SchoonerS and about twenty
five small boats doing work gathering up
the suffering and burying the dead from
Sabine Pass and the bayou. Orange has
not yet received thus far a single dollar to
assist i'll taking care of all these people,

on behalf of destitute sufferers. Contribu-
tons can be sent to j. Sanders, mayor of

BEAUMONT. Tex, Oct. 17.-Refugees
from the flooded district abovt Sabine Pass
continue to arrive on every small craft that
cOmessup the river. 1t is estimated by
persons here who have been over the
scene that the death list will exceed $50
Eighty-tive corpses have been recovered
and buried around Johnson's Bayou, and
tifty-four bodies at Sabine. Sixty-six per-
sons are still missing at Sabine, and these
are of course dead as it would be impossi-
BILE for any human being to survive this
long in the swamps and lagoons without
food or shelter. An examination of the
country back of Sabine Pass and mmedi-
aeely in the vicinity of Beaumont shows
that the salt water came back from the
coast fully forty miles. 1t is known that
the sufferers around J OhnsOn's Bayou who
have lost everything will reach 200, while
the Sabine sufferers number 800, one-half
of whom are now in Beaumont

Jumped Overheard.

Usage CITY. Mo-, Oct. 17.-This morn
ing about o'clock, while the steamer
Black Diamond was coming up the Mis-
souri, river to this place, she blew out her
steam-chest packing at Isabella, Mo-,
about twelve miles west of here, causing
such a confusion that three colored roust-
abouts-Gene Price, Charles Briggs and
Ed Fitzpatrick. all of this place-jumped
overheard into the river and were drowned.
Two others were severely scalded about the
body.
CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-Grave fears are felt
concerning the safety of the schooner III.
A. Richmond. She was last seen Thurs
day noon by the captain of the schooner
Stafford. with her deck load and rigging
gone. and drifting east at the mercy of the
terrible gale of that day. That was about
fifty miles out. Her owner is here from
Muskegon considerably worried. Up to a
late hour tonight she had not been heard
from. She was built at Buffalo in 1861,
with tonnage of 1913 tons. The vessel
has been utilized as lumber hooker be-
tween Muskegon and Chicago for the past
wear. The number of men composing her
crew is not definitely known.

ST. PAUL AS a TEA CENTER.

But few days SINCE PHIL ARMOUR,
The noted packer, declared that the suprem-
acy which Chicago had wrested from the
East as meat packing center was about to
pass away from her, and, following the
natural law which had previously worked
to Chicago's advantage, would rest in some
one of the large cities farther west. The
same process of reasoning is true with re-
gard to another industry 10 less important.
Buta few years since New York was the
recognized tea importing and tea selling de-
pot Of the country. No other city divided
with her the honor and profit, and to her all
purchasers were obliged to come With the
competition of the transcontinental roads

direct route than by way Of the Suez canal.
and of course more expeditiously. 1t was
natural, then, that the tea-dealing center
of the country should come to point west
of New York. and Chicago is now congrat-
ulating herself upon being the chosen
place.

The Democrats will open the local cam
paign tonight by mass ratification meet
ing at PFEIFEE's hall. There ought to be,
and doubtless will be, general turnout of
the Democracy. The meeting will be adj
dressed by eminent speakers, who will dis
cuSS the issues now before the people. The
Democratic city of st. Paul ought to give
a splendid send-off to the campaign. 1t
will cheer the brethren throughout the
state to know that the Democrats here at
the capital are whooping things up at
lively rate Let it go. Hip, hip, hurrah!

THE STATE TICKET,

The attention of the state press is called
to the Democratic state ticket published in
another column. The ticket. as thus
printed, is authoritative and correct. Some
of the state papers, through madvertance,
have given it with some of the names
spelled wrong or with the Initials trans
posed. 1t is vitality important that every
name upon the ballots cast should be printed
correctly, as otherwise such defective bal
lots will be cast out. Let every paper pub
fishing the Democratic ticket compare it
with the one which appears in the GLOBE
this morning and thus avoid any possibility
of mistake.

liberality. Contributions of any kind what
ever VIII be acceptable to the sufferers and
will be gladly received by the committee.
Old clothes, shoes, groceries, or cash III
sums however small all will be gratefully
welcomed. Certainly there is no one who
cannot contribute something, and the re-
sponses should be general and spontaneous.
Contributions can be left at the Relief So
cietys rooms, 141 East Ninth street, and
will be forwarded by the Manitoba road
free of charge The charitable people of
st. Paul should not require another appeal
from the sufferers before giving of their

ERIE, Pa, Oct. 17.-Last Saturday the
revenue cutter. Perry and United States
steamer Michigan were notified that YES
sci had been wrecked above the head, and
both vessels started to the scene of the al
legged disaster. The life-saving crew were
also taken with them. The beach from far
above the head to as far east on the PENN
sula as could be seen was strewn with
wreckage and lumber. A scuttle butt
section of cabin with window in it and
yawl with one side gone were picked up
on the beach, but nothing was found by
which the name of the vessel from which
they came could be determined. The
steamer ran up the lake some twelve or
fifteen miles without finding any traces of
a wreck, and after returning the Perry
steamed for Dunkirk, off which port
it was reported vessel i'll distress
was anchored. Last night a
report obtained currency that wreckage
had been found on the shore at Eight-Mil
creek, and that pieces of the wreck which
came ashore bore name which. as near
as could be remembered, was the Peru of

evening reports the lumber schooner Red.
