LAKE WEIR, FLA, Sept. 23.-The alarm
occasioned by the reports of yellow fever in
Gainesville and among members of the

There is no sickness on the lake. except
two cases of chills at Ocklawaha and one

PROF PRoCToR's CASE.
The wife of one of Florida's prominent
citizens saw Prof. Proctor few days be-
fore he started for New York, snd from his
bilious appearance she expected to hear any
day that he was laid up with an attack Of
malaria. There is malignant type of
bilious fever which frequently terminates
in black vomit but is neither contagious nor
infectious, This was in all probability the
cause of the professors death.
The public schools Of Ocala and Lake

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The Senate has
left no unfinished business, and the order III
which this weeks expected events may
come up is prohlematical. The weeks
programme includes the passage of the
general deficiency bill. u hundred or mora
private pedsion bills, one or two of the
territorial admission bills, the Sherman
trust bill, and final action upon the sundry

be accomplished in n week. even IL the

complished hy the House this week beyond

manning undlsposed Of. They ara the sundry
civil bill, upon which future conference
must be ordered and the general deficiency
bill, which has not yet been acted upon by
the Senate, but which is expected to reach
the House during the week. Unless the first
named measure is passed before Tuesday it
will be necessary 10 adopt another resolu-

FRBDBRICK's DIARY.

A Resolution to Cultivate More Inti-
mate Relations with England.
BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-The diary of the late
Emperor Frederick contains many remarks,
showing that he had resolved to cultivate
most intimate relations with England,
though apprehensive that the predileetion
Of Germany for America and Russia
would render IL difficult to do
so. One entry states that Napoleon,
while prisoner at Wilhelmshohe,
proposed an alliance with Germany for q
war against England. Other entries further
show Emperor Frederick's desire to create
imperial ministers responsible to parlia-
ment.
The Liberal Journal says that the liberals
cannot make a better election manifesto
than Emperor Frederick's diary.
