The Mob in PossessIon.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24.-The post Office
department received kilograms today from
the yellow fever district, which indicate that
the running of trains on nearly all the rail-
roads in Alabama and Mississippi is aband-
oned, and the whole section is panic stricken.
One telegram, dated at Atlanta, Ga today,
says:
The running of trains between Chattanooga and
Shreveport, Aberdeen and Durant, GREENWOOD
and jackson, Durant and Techula, Atlanta and
Autesia and west of Columbus, Mississippi, is not
permitted by the people, and the probability is
that Cairo and Mobile and Memphis and New Or
leans trains will be discontinued. The only
means of reaching New Orleans with any degree
of certainty is by way of Montgomery, and even
that route Is threatened. The people along the
Vicksburg and Shreveport road seem to be one
vast mob.
The postmaster at Cairo, ILL.,, telegraphs as
follows
All trains on the Cairo and Mobile road are
abandoned as they will be today on the Cairo and
New Orleans line The country below is in the
hands of bowling mob, and quarantine is every

INDIANA Can be Depended Upon,

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-W. S. Wilson, a
well known business man of Kansas City,
and an acute political observer, has just
made trip through the State of Indiana,
during which he studied closely the political
situation. He did not confne his inquiries
to the leading men in either party, but talked
freely with both Republicans and Demo
Gratis. He traversed the whole State and
took occasion to observe the political senti-
ment of voters outside of the largsclties and
towns. Mr. Wilson said:
"For 10 years have been close observer
of Indiana politics and have considerable
acquaintance with men and methods. At
the end of the week just passed l visited the
headquarters of both parties in Indianapolis,
made diligent inquiries and obtained accur-
ate information from the best and reliable
sources. sought the opinions of the calm
political thinkers and workers, and the re-
suit of it left a very definite impression upon

doubtedly experiencing decided feeling of
discouragement in regard to the State, and
MANY things are combining to give Indiana to
the Republicans. 1t is surprising to learn the
large number of young men IN indianapolis
who cast their first vote in November, and
the unanimity with which they will cast it
for Harrison is startling to the Democracy.

rive Weeks Debate on tho Eariff Bill
Obstacles Ia the Way.
lcopgTight, 1888. 6y1e California Associaea Press
WASHINGTON, April 15th.-The tariff bill
will be taken up in the House next Tues
day. How long the general debate on the
subject Will continue cannot be accurately
foretold. One hundred and TWENTY-FIVE
Representatives have notified the Speaker
OF their intention to make speeches on the
subject. 1t is hoped that one-half of this
number will be satisfied 10 print their
speeches in the Record and not occupy the
time of the House by reading them. Ii is
estimated that under the most favorable
circumstances three weeks will be con-
sumed in general debate. Then will fol-
low the debate under the five-minute rule,
and the offering of amendments, etc., in
Committee ofthe Whole, which at the lowest
estimate will occupy two weeks additional.
1t IS proposed to hold night sessions for the
general debate.
The position of the two parties, so far as
the political side of the controversy is in
volved, is this The Democrats want to
pass tariff bill before the National Con-
yentlon OF the party meets in st. Louis on
the 9th of June. The Republicans desire TO
prevent any action ON the bill in the House
prior to that time. If there was nothing
but the tariff to be considered, the majority
would have no difficulty in carrying out
their plans; but the appropriation bills
must be passed before the end of the fiscal
year, June 30th, if an extra session of Con-
gress is to be avoided. There are thirteen
regular appropriation bills, and not one of
them, save the Military Academy bill, has
passed the House and Senate. 1t is evi-
dent that the tariff bill must be laid aside TO
enable the House to consider the appropria-
ton bills, and every day lost to the tariff
bill is political setback to the majority.

can operate the States quarries
to far better advantage; work an unlimited
number of prisoners and make the prison
so industrial that it will be no burden to
the State. He holds, also, that the State
will, by conserving the construction of the
canal, be but paying for the lands it re-
ceived and the water-power privileges bar
gained for. He points out that it
will open the way to manufacturing
at Folsom, and thus call to employment a
large free labor force that will NOT be en-
ployed in this section, except theAmerican
river water power is availed of. The War
den is fully informed concerning all the
details of the scheme, and gives it as his
opinion that it can be carried out speedily
and that within comparatively brief
period, prior to the close of the year in
deed, the canal can be completed and ready
for the application of the power. Econom-
ieally he considers the plans to be so strong
that the State will be more than unwise if
it does not approve them.

Two Theories Regarding the Emperor
Frederick,s Condition

Two Theories Regarding the Emperor
Frederick's Condition.
LONDON, April 15th.-The latest medical
report about the German Emperor is seri.
Gus enough to divert some attention from
the Chancellor crisis. Extreme caution
marks all the published statements, but
the doctors seem to think that the disease
is spreading from the larynx to the trachea.
1t is agreed that longer tube has had to
be inserted, and there is limit to the
length of tubes available to the purpose.
There is, however, another theory. The
Emperor has never recovered from the
operation of tracheotomy. Irritation and
Inflammation have always been present.
This is grave fact.
HE oMITs HIS USUAL OUTING.
BERLIN, April 15th.-The Emperor re-
mained in bed until l O'Clock to-day. The
irritation produced by the canula induced
much coughing, which broke his rest.
Thousands of people waited many hours in
the Under den Linden in hopes of seeing
the Emperor drive out. He was unable to
attend even the chapel, and only walked a
short time in the orangerie.
CAUSE OF THE PRESENT ATTACK.
LATER.-It is now known, at midnight,
that the Emperor stayed in bed all day,
and that his cough continues. He is suf-
fering from catarrhal affection of the
traehea due to irritation resulting from
the changing of the tube.
Some of the papers have again begun a
violent attack on Drs. Mackenzie and
Horel.
THE ABOVE CONFIRMED.
LONDON, April 15th.-A dispatch from
Berlin says the Emperors temperature is
increased. The surgeons fear supervention
or bronchitis. The new tube causes the
trouble

sided at the annual meeting of the Com

persons were present. Floquet, in a speech
declared that the sole guarantee for civil
liberty was political liberty Republican
France needed neither protector in time
of peace nor dictator in time of war if
the necessity of defending her honor forced
her to take up arms. 1--WE want no
one," he continued, because now in
peace we have Republican in
stitutions after seventeen years of
exertion, strife and perseverance, while in
the event of war we have skilled and val
liant generals who Loyalty obey the public
powers, and citizen army of the flower of
the nation, for which you all feel a solici-
tude, and which enjoys such popularity
among you. 1t is the Republic of Liberty
which has decided to elaborate the century
OF 1883 by holding universal exhibition.
In order to make the festival complete, let

applause.
