The Situation More Hopeful.


AUGUSTA, Sept. 14.-Supt. B. T. Sanborn
said today that he felt more hopeful regard
ing the situation at the hospital than at any
time since diphtheria broke out. There have
been no new cases in the male ward for three
weeks, and none have appeared in the fe-
male department for over week. But few
of the patients realize that the contagion is
in the building. Many of the attendants be-
come alarmed over fear that they are attack
ed by the disease, when really they are per-
fectly well. They imagine they have sore
throats oftentimes.

THE FEVER AT HENDERSoNviLLE.
An Outbreak Among the Jacksonville
Refugees There.

HENDERsoNvILLE, N. c., Sept. 14.-A
train load of refugees consisting of more
than SEQ people arrived here from Jackson
vile yesterday. The scenes enroute beggar
description. The crowds which were gath
cred at the different stations fled as fright
ened sheep when the train stopped and it
was learned that the passengers were from
Jacksonville. The train was so guarded that
no one was allowed to get on or off. One
man escaped by jumping through window
of a moving car. The train was stopped and
two officers sent back who succeeded in cap
turing him. 1t is not believed that proper
accommodations can be given in Henderson,

The Senate Tariff Bill.

Senator Quay has been here for two days.
He had several consultations with members
of the finance subcommittee, as well as with
some of the other senators, as to the policy
of speedily reporting the Republican tariff
bill. There have been various contradictory
reports circulated as to the wishes of the
Republican national chairman in this matter.
He has been represented as in various stages
of anger because the Republican experts on
the tariff in the Senate persisted in going
ahead with the preparation of a bill, and
again as deeply anxious to have the bill re-
ported to the Senate and placed before the
country at once. 1t may be stated as fact,
upon the very best authority, that Col. Quay
during the last few days, bas been repeated,
ly asked by his Republican fellow-senators
to give some expression to his wishes as
chairman, and to his views as to the effect
upon the campaign of the Republican bill.
In reply, Col. Quay has assured Senators
Hiscock. Aldrich, Allison and others that he

is content to leave the bill and the report To
accompany il in their hands. "You under-
stand the situation, gentlemen" he has said.
'as well as myself; go ahead with your
work on the bill as you have been doing. and
when you have it perfected you need have
no fear of the effect upon the country of a
sound, well considered revision Of the tariff
from a protective standpoint" Senator
QUAY has examined the bill, in its present
shape, with great care, and he has expressed
himself satisfied with its provisions. There
is renewed talk among the members Of the
subcommittee as to the possibility OF re-
porting the bill to the full committee within
two weeks.
Notes.
There appears likely to be a disagreement
between the Senate aud House on the subject
of adjournment, each waiting for the other
to take the initiative.
The House today listened to a telegram
from Surgeon General Hamilton stating that
the camp of refuge, Camp Perry, near Jack
sonville, was in splendid condition, with no
cases of fever there. As soon as the telegram
was read the House took up and passed the
Senate joint resolution appropriating $500, 900
to suppress the infection.
On resuming his seat in the House TODAY.
Congressman Dingley of Maine was at once
surrounded with Republicans, who congrat-
ulated him and Maine on the great Republi-
can victory.
The conference report in the Sunday civil
appropriation bill was submitted in the
House today but withdrawn owing to the alb
sence of a quorum. At its evenig session, the
House passed 36 private pension bills.
