The weather is very warm, but the fever
report is favorable, smaller number OF
cases being reported and the critical cases
improving satisfactorily.
President Ridell, of the Howard AsSocia-
tion, has commenced an examination of the
condition of the adjacent country by visit
10 Bell river, and reports that there has
been several cases of yellow fever there,
and that there is considerable destitution
among the inhabitants who were dependent
on this city for labor, and among the opera
tives in the canning establishment, which is
now shut down.
Further inspection will doubtless show
the same condition of affairs in all the sur
rounding settlements.
The Howard Association is taking imme-

received by the Fernaudina committee in
this city to-day, dated yesterday: 1--WE re-
ceived to-day the second shipment of pro
visions from New York just in time, as the
commissary was about exhausted. The
freight Dill was enormous, $50, local rates

PINE STRAW BAGGING.
Fifteen Bales Wrapped in It Shipped
from Charleston.


from Charleston.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. 20.-Among the
cotton received here to-day, was one lot of
fifteen bales from Cheraw, s. c., which
was covered in bagging made from pine
straw. The entire lot was quickly disposed
of and readily accepted by the exporters
This practically solves the bagging puzzle,
and puts quietus on the hopes Of the jute
bagging trust. The chamber of commerce
of this place some weeks ago subjected the
pine fibre bagging to severe test, and at
once pronounced it merchantable The
fifteen bales were shipped to Liverpool. The
adaptability of the bagging to the covering
of cotton will result in a wonderful
revolution in the south. 1t is
made of the needles or leaves of the pine,
which is the natural growth of the south
ern forests These needles can be made
into cotton bagging at a cost which is bound
to run jute bagging out of the United
States. The green needles, it is claimed,
yield oil enough to pay the entire cost OF
their treatment. IL is probable that by
next spring over 100 factories for the manu-
facture of pine straw bagging and mating
will be In operation between Raleigh, N. c.
and New Orleans, La.

oLEvELAND's GREAT AMBITION.
Another Tariff Message Apt to be Sent
to Congress.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The President
said to a friend this week that whether he
was reelected or not he would send vigor-
GUS tariff reform message to congress Oh its
reassembling in December He said that
the financial condition which will then
confront the country would be the
financial condition of last December,
aggravated by years. delay, with its ac-
emulation OF surplus funds in the treasury.
He added that its Importance warrants him
in again devoting his entire annual message
TO the question OF reducing taxation. There
is taclt understanding among the leaders
of the two parties in congress that the Sen
ate shall take up the tariff bill just where it
left it to-day, during the first week in De-
cember, aud that the holiday recess shall
only last from tho day before Christmas to
the day after New Ycar's, but unless the
democrats carry the election in Nouember,
this understanding will not materially
facilitate the passage Of bill reducing
tariff taxes and correcting tariff imper-
fectlOns.

Minister Friedberg, VINO is still fast
friend of the ex-empress, desires to resign,
but will remain in office at her request.
The semi-ofiicial press has reported his re-
tirement and named Secretary Schelling as
his successor
The Cologne Gazette, while admitting DR..
Friedberg's devotion to Empress Frederick,
denies that Prince Bismarck wants him to
resign. The group surrounding Dr. Fried
berg is gaining so much strength that it
may soon have power to influence the abau-
donment of the prosecution of Prof. Gef-
hcken. The charge against him as now de-
fined is treasonous divulging of documents.
Tie least sentence it wyuld lie possible to
impose on conviction on this charge is two
years penal servitude. Emperor William
is much less desirous that his trial should be
proceeded with than is Prince Bismarck,
who the emperor persuaded to direct tie
abandonment of the prosecution when his
indicative action appeared likely to reCoil
upon himself.

that the aspirations of Emperor Frederick
had formed the basis of his policy as en-
peror, for his experience on the throne soon
convinced him that it would be utterly i'm
possible to rule in accordance with his pet

The Tobacco Of HAVANA.

1t is needless to lay down set of rules for
the guidance of tobacconists- They know
that the soil Of Cuba will not prodbce light
cigar tobacco any better than any other.
When nature produces q tobacco light in
color it is unsuited for cigars, is q well
known fact the world over. This is the rule
that nature herself has made, and when you
get pale color you may know that the to-
bacco has been doctored and unfit in richness
and aroma for delicious smoke The great
crop of Havana tobacco Is dark; the coming
crop will, In all probability, be dark also;
and If the dealers do not bestir themselves
and enter into the work Of converting their
misguided customers they will inperil their
trade in the finer grades Of cigars The Ha-
vana tobacco excels all other for cigars The
Mexican and Manila weeds are favorites for
cheroots. The Kentucky tobacco is inter
mediate in character. The tobacco Of Vir-
ginia is the best for pipe smoking, while that
from Maryland is used for the cheaper grades
of cigars-New York Mail and Express.
