THE YELLOW FEVER SCOURGE.
A Terrible state of AfIaIrs in FIorida-Ap-
peals for Aid.

peals for Aid.
ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, Sept. GA letter
has been received in this city disclosing
a terrible state OF affairs in the town ol
Bayard, small settlement on the line Of
the Jacksonville & st. Augustine rail-
road, about twenty miles north of here.
VIM. Orthgus, the son of farmer living
at Orthgus, about five miles from Bay
ard, had occasion TO visit the latter
place. On nearing the settlement he
was attracted by a strong stencil emana-
ting from the vicinity Of house sup
posed to be vacant. Through curiosity,
he hitched his horse and proceeded to
investigate. On reaching the house a
ghastly spectacle met his eyes. Stretched
upon a couch was the body OF a woman,
and in the same room were the bodies
OF five children. They had been dead
for several days.
The boy, on realizing the horror OF
the scene, fed pfecipitately, and,
mounting his horse, rode back to his
home and told the startling story to his
parents. AS st. Augustine is strictly
quarantined against Bayard and that Vi.
cinity, the news did not reacli here until
several days after the occurrence. The
country people are horror-stricken, and
even ii il were known that any one was
occupying the house it is unlikely that
any one OF them could have been in
duced to 20 near it II lie knew there was
case OF yellow fever. 1t is supposed
that the unfortunates were refugees
from Jacksonville, and were stricken
with the disease after leaving town.

but Mr.. Scott declined to yield, and told
his colleague to ''sit down.
Mr.. Brumm's reply was 20, you had
better come and make me-" Laughter. ]
The House then resumed Considcra-
ton OF the retaliation bill. MIR. Scoot
resumed the floor and continued his
speech in support OF the bill. In refer
encc to the rejection OF the recent treaty,
he challenged any man to find case ot
unjust treatment to American fishermen
since 1856, against recurrence OF which
that treaty did not provide q safeguard.
He sent to the clerks desk and had read
the remarks made in the Senate recently
by Senator Teller, criticising him for his
action in bringing forward the Chinese
bill, and referring to him who, sin no
sense and uHder no circumstances, has
a right to speak for American
labor" The Senator from Colorado,
when he cane to talk and vote, was for
the exclusion OF Chinese, but when he
came to act he was always trying to find
out how not to do it. The Senator
wanted to know what right he (ScottJ
had to introduce the bill. The answer
could be found in yesterdays dispatch
relative to the coming OF Chinese into
the United States. 1t was necessary for
the House TO put an immediate stop to
this immigration and the House did not
require three days to find out whether
it would pass n hill TO that effect or not.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. SCOTS speech
the House adjourned.

GENERAL HARRISOY'S POLICY.

Hd Wants the Republicans to Fight on
Principle and Let the Democrats Deal
in sIhnder, Rs They Choose.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 6.-Geueral
Harrison has taken great interest, oil
course, in the campaign, and feels that
the people of the country are on the
side Of Protection TO American indus
tries.
In speaking of the conduct of the CAM
paign on the part of the Democrats, he
said to-day he hoped his friends would
not in any sense of the word retaIiate
for the ISLANDERS by the use Of anything
but clean-cut argument, rs he desired
the fight upon the part of the Republic
cans to be'one of principle; that he was
willing to stand or fall by his public ut
tcrances upon all questions. He could
not help feeling indignant at the recent
attempt to defame the character OF the
family OF his mother, but even that
would not induce him to vary the line
OF, conduct he had laid down for himself.

Mr.. Brumm then proceeded to read
aiEidavits to show that one AL. Weaver,
member OF the coal and iron police,
had'been employed by the Mineral Coal
Company, with which Mr.. Scott was in
terested.
Mr.. Scott attributed his colleagues re-
marks TO the fact that he (Brumm) had
lust been renominated and that he wish
ed, whether conining himself to the
truth or not, to so home with new
issue and one which he thought might
possibly give him notoriety he would
not otherwise have. He Scott had de.
MED his colleagues charge that he had
ever employed Pinkerton detectives and
had said that he would have his col
league brought to the bar OF the House
TO prove that charge. He would have
done so but that he would rather stand
his colleagues accusation than take up
the time OF the House that was valu-
able to the country. He then sent to
the clerks desk and had read 4 newspa
per report of n speech made by Mr..
Brumm during the last campaign in ia
vor Of one Levan, who was candidate
for recorder Of county. In this speech
Mr.. Brumm is reported to have said:
Some people object to friend Levan be-
cause he is a coal and iron policeman.
Coal and iron policemen are necessary
TO the preservation OF peace and good
order in the community, and say to
you that went to Harrisburg and asked
for his appointment myself" Laughter
and applause on the Democratic side.l
Mr.. scott-Does the gentleman deny
that?
Mr.. Brumm-No, l do not. Mr..

WASHINGTON, Sept G.-Speaking on
the Chinese bill in the Senate to-day
Mr.. Platt said he should vote for the bin,
but under protest. He did not like the
way it came before Congress.
Mr.. sherman-I feel free to say that
no communication OF any kind has come
to the President OF the United States in
regard to the treaty. Ibelieve that is
fact and the whole OF our action upon
the bill is based upon the assumption
that because distinguished member OF
the House of Representatives brought it
in and had it hurried through the
House, it was done with thesaHction OF
the Administration. Certainly We ought
not to be satisfied with that. Suppose
the President should veto the act which
he has now before him, on the ground
that We had passed this bill abFog0ting
the treaty. We would be sin hole
Ill u NGIN lbl55luE pOHlllbls
Mr.. Blair-What reason is there do
you think that the President does not
answer the resolution OF the Senate?
Mr.. Sherman-He only had it yester-
day, and probably the answer to 1t will
come to-day.
Mr.. BIair-Suppose We send boy
over for his answer. 1t will not take
more than half an hour.
Mr.. Morgan questioned the sincerity
OF the Pacific Slope Senators to the eX-
clusion OF Cinnamon, and remarked that
the sentiment for their exclusion was fur
from universal.
The sentiment was challenged by Mr..
Mitchell, who said, somewhat excitedly,
that there was not one word OF truth in
it from beginning to end.
Mr.. Morgan repeated that the plutOc-
raCy OF the Pacific slope was in favor OF
retaining Chinese lab0rers.
Mr.. Mitchell remarked that the ques-
ton had been submitted to vote OF the
people OF California Il few years ago,
and he asked whether the Senator from
Alabama would have the candor and
honesty 10 state to the Senate the result
/ VI lAltAN NSkNs
Mr.. Morgan retorted, in an indignant
manner, that the word "hOnGsty" was a
word which the Senator from Oregon
ought not to use with so much llippan-
Oy. On the point Of honesty he lNr.
! Norgan) had as good record as the
Senator from Oregon.
Mr.. Mitchell explained that he meant
political honesty.
Mr.. Morgan-A politically dishonest
man cannot be trusted with my pocket
book. donOt make such distinction,
and never have mado it.
Mr.. Mitchell-rhe Senator may make
his own application.
The debate being closed, the Senate
proceeded to vote on the passage OF the
bill. The vote was unanimous, yeas 81,
nays none. There being no quorum
voting, there was call Of the Senate,
when 30 Senators, exactly quorum, an
swered. Mr.. Hoar said he had been
present when the vote was taken yester-
day and to-day, but had refrained from
voting for the reasons stated by the Sem
ator from Ohio (AIr. Sherman
Mr.. Sherman had also withheld his
vote on both occasions. 1t was agreed,
by unanimous consent, that the vote
would be taken tomorrow at one O'Clock,

WASHINGTON, Sept. G.-Mr. Brumm, OF
Pennsylvania, rising in the House to-
day to a question OF privilege read let
ter which he had written to Mr.. Scott,
Of Pennsylvania, in which he called at
teution to the fact that that gentleman
had charged him with making false
statement on the floor, and that he would
arise in the House in order to vindiCate
himself. He said he had charged Mr.,
Scott with employing Pinkerton detec-
tives in the coal regions and contribu-
ting to the pay OF the coal and iron po-
lice. These charges Mr.. Scott denies,
hut Mr.. Brumm said that some William
l.. Scott, OF Pennsylvania, was guilty OF
every charge made. II his colleague
said that the charges were as false us
hell, he was anxious to find out who the
other William L. Scott was.
Mr.. Scott, addressing Mr.. Brumm,
said that the question OF dispute grew
out OF Mr.. Brumm's charge that he en-
ployed Pinkerton detectives and coal
and iron police. He had denied the
charge. That was the only dispute be-
tween them,
Mr.. Brumm produced store orders
used in the company stores in which
Mr., Scott was interested, and, holding
up one cent stub, inquired whether
that was intended to buy peanuts
with.

are.
