HOW To DEAL WITH YELLOW
FEVER.

1t is conceded by every one that vel
low fever is a scourge that is to be
dreaded in our southern section OF
country, by reason both of the mortal
ity which attends an epidemic, and OF
the great loss Of business which is the
lnvariable concOmitant of it's visitation.
The terrible decentralization of the peo-
people among whom it breaks out is a
familiar fact known to all.
The question arises as to what is
the most effective plan for excluding
it from our country, for, we may as
sumo it to be a fact, that yellow fever
is essentially a ship disease and is i'm
portedfrom the tropics. Quarantine re-
strictions do we'll enough in their way,
and we should not do away with them,
but something more is needed if we
would successfully prevent its intro
duction in to our borders. The best
system of quarantine is liable to be
evaded, and but a single fever patient
is sufficient, if landed OH our shores,
under conditions favorable to the
spread of the disease, to infect the
whole south.
In our opinion, starting out with
the assumption that the fever is a tro-
pical product, the best manner of fight
ing it is to attack it in it's habitat.
In other words, as Havana is, the
hot bed of yellow fever, and the focus
from which it spreads to other coun-
tries, why not send the necessary men
and money to that locality to destroy
the conditions which produce the dis
ease? If as reported, and us believed
universally, the pollution of the waters
of the harbor of Havana by the sew
erage OF the city whicl, empties into
it, is the immediate and proximate
u OF the fever, then, why not adopt
the heroic remedy Of divertine the
course Of the sewerage into other and
better channels, in Il sanitary point
OF view. AS we have a surplus in the
treasury which is constantly growing,
and for which it is said that there is no
adequate list, here is an opportunity
for the employment of IA few millions.
Once purify the waters of Havana, and
the scOurge of yellow fever will be a
thing of the past in the Ever Faithful
Isle, and, with its disappearance there
We will have absolute immunity from

just now Canadian official circles
are very much exercised over the
threatened retaliation measures of the
United States. Canada ought to re-
taliate by returning to this country all
the bank officials who are sojourning
within its borders, and who left this
country with plumber. A retaliation
proceeding Of this kind would be very
much appreciated by the people of the
United States.

the merit of being feasible, and of be-
ing carried out successfully in a short
time. Is it not better to eliminate the
focus of infection than to appropriate
funds as Congress has done heretofore,
to establish a National Board of
Health? By removing the cause of
the fever at the Cuban capital, there
will be no necessity for remedial OF

Leo's Letter of Sympathy and Friendship
 to Germany's Monarch.
 BERLIN, March 24-The North German Gazette publishes Pope Leo's autograph letter to Emperor Frederick. His holiness expresses deep sorrow at the death of Emperor Will jam, from whom he received not few by no means unimportant proofs of friendly senti- ments, and he was hoping to receive no less important proofs in the future He congratu- lates Frederick upon his accession to the throne of so great and so powerful an empire, and trusts that. he. will receive the same marks of friendship as he did from his father, the late emperor. In conclusion, the pope prays that his majesty health may be restored, and that he may enjoy long life for the welfare of his subjects. The letter ends with these words: "We pray that God will grant this hope, that in his goodness he will join us to your majesty in indissoluble bonds of love-"

MORRISON R. WAITE SUCCUMBS TO
 PNEUMONIA.

Sketch of a Career Distinguished in the

 Discussing His Successor.
 WASHINGTON, March M.-Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite is dead He died of pneu- monia at 6:1O o'clock yesterday morning at his residence, No 1,415 I street, N. w. He taken i'll on Saturday last, having caught a severe cold while attending the authors readings at the Congregational. Later in the evening he attended reception of Senator Hearsl's, reaching his residence very much exhausted.
 He was confined to his bed on Sunday, but on Monday he insisted upon going to the supreme court to be present when the de cision in the telephone suits was rendered. The weather was mild and Dr. Gardner yielded to his urgent request, every precan- tion being taken to prevent any ill effects from the journey. The telephone decision he was too ill to read it from the bench, and that duty was therefore performed by Justice Blatchford. As soon as possible after the reading Justice Waite left the bench and was hurriedly driven home It was admitted that the trip to the Capitol was far from prudent.
 His condition on Tuesday was not alarm ing, but on Wednesday circumscribed pneu- monia showed itself. During Thursday night

Tho British Magazine Rifle.

The magazine rife selected for the use of the British army was recently put through a series of tests to measure it's accuracy, penetration, range, etc. The dilatoriness of the English seems to have stood them in good stead this time, for while the Germans are discarding the 'tMauser-7O- -86" magazine rifle scarcely twelve month after it's adop- tion, because of it's caliber Q1 mm.), they have benefited by the experience, and pin their faith to a caliber nearly one-third smaller. The new gun weighs no more than the Martini Henry, which, modified more or less has been in continual use in the British army for seventeen years It has detacha- ble magazine placed in front of the trigger guard and holding eight rounds, with one more rammed home in the breech, making nine. When one magazine is exhausted it is detached with single movement and an- other snapped on. The powder is compressed on the Swiss system, with the result that smaller and lighter bullets may be used. The soldier will be able to carry 115 rounds. where before he had only seventy. Still bet ter, the trajectory is flat and the range much greater than that of the old style rifle

yond tho age for retirement, and while his friends rejoice that hereditary longevity and hls excellent health give promise that he will live many years, it is conceded that to make him chief justice would be sacrifice of party interests.
 Judge Field aside, the names oftenest sug- gested are those of Judge Thurman, Speaker Carlisle and Secretary Bayard.- The fitness and desirability of Judge Thurman's ap- pointment, as recognition alike of pre-emi- nent ability as a lawyer and distinguished services to the party, will combine with the old Romans high character and personal popularity to commend him to the president above almost anybody else. The considers tion of age, however, is as pertinent in his case as in that of Justice Field.
 Secretary Bayard's name was canvassed for the seat now occupied by Justice Lamar, and there is just as much and no more reason why he should be named for the chief justice ship.
 Speaker Carlisle is much more hopeful candidate. The drift in his favor is very ap- parent in the public opinion of the capital 1t is an open secret that the Kentucky states man was the presidents first choice for the robes of the late Justice Woods, now worn by MT. Lamar, and that MT. Carlisle declined the honor very reluctantly, with the presi- dents equally reluctant acquiescence, on the ground that party necessity required his con tinuance in the house.
 Other eminent men, whose names and claims are freely canvassed, are those of Solicitor General George A. Jenks, of Penn sylvania; Judge Jackson, of Tennessee; Judge Simms of Alabama; Attorney General Gar land, J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia; Joseph B. Mcdonald, of Indiana; Postmaster General Dickinson, Secretary Villas, Judge Cooley, William R. Morrison, Assistant Post master General Stevenson and Senator Gray, formerly attorney general of Delaware. The southern candidates are generally swept aside by the prevailing impression that the ap- pointment of Justice Lamar has given the south all that it can expect on the supreme bench until there is another associate justice to be appointed.

Hart says the Ella left Rockland last Sunday, made harbor at Sa- lem Tuesday, left there Thursday morning, and soon after midnight was caught in a blizzard and struck on Chatham bars. The vessel sprung leak and the cargo took fire, forcing the men to the boats After hard struggle they succeeded in leaving the schooner, although the boat was nearly filled with water. The snow cleared and showed the schooner Morse anchored in their path, which they boarded. The Ella burned to the waters edge.

 CHILDREN'S TEA.


 at the Hospital-Rather than Have Them Separated from Her, She Con- signs Them to Agonizing Death She is Pronounced Insane.
 NEW YORK, March 24.-Mrs Minnie Leibkuchner, entered the police station early this morning and told the sergant in charge that she had poisoned three of her children. Two of them were dead and she wanted doctor to come and see the other. She said she had given them Rough on Rats'' in their bed because she loved them and they were going to be taken away from her.
 The police went to her house at once and found her terrible story was true. Two children lay dead, carefully covered with bed clothes, while the third was writhing in agony
 As soon as possible the child was taken to the hospital, the mother witnessing his departure with perfect composure. She was at once placed under arrest and then told this extraordinary story of her experi- ences:
 She said she was the second wife of a once wealthy brewer Tn tnls GUY put who afterwards failed and died penniless man. She was chen obliged to work for living The Bloomingdale aid society had taken charge of her children and last Tuesday she received a letter from the society in which it was announced that homes in the west had been secured for her children and that they must be ready to start on Saturday. Those letters plunged her into excessive grief and she at once determined to kill her children rather than part with them. She bought quantity of Rough on Rats," and put it into the childrens tea
 She related with wonderful composure how the boys had been tortured until death ended their sufferings, and how she sat by the dead bodies for more than twelve hours.
 The woman was at once examined by physicians as to her sanity, but they pro- nounced her sane.

Every possible argument has thus far been used, but without avail Invitations were issued to friends to attend a ball It Swift Birds camp tonight, given by Miss Fellows. Chaska de- ivered them to the guests, and if the lady's by Rev. Handforth. Miss Fellows is greatly ern friends to reconsider her resolve, but still insists and so does Chasia, that the ceremony must come off.
 Owing to heavy running ice and the great distance from Pierre to the camp, messengers cannot arrive here with positive news. Word comes from Fort Bennett that Miss Fellows brother has arrived from Ehicago to stop the marriage, and a scene is looked for.
