BISHOP WEEDS RETURN.
Bishop Weed returned yesterday from
his inspection Of the situation in Fernan-
dina. He finds that the town is suffering
not so much from actual yellow fever as
from distress among people unable to Sc
cure work and consequently looking to the
public for support. The officials there
think there are at least 5000
people likely TO need immediate
relief OF this number about 900 are col
ored stevedores ont of work, and they may
cause trouble. They are the ones who
struck last summer and interfered with the
non-union men who took their places. On
that occasion three companies Of militia had
10 be sent to prevent u riot.
The finance committee to-day sent S., 900
TO Fernandna. At least S20, 900 will be
needed to tide them over their troubles.
