THE DEATH ROLL:
Alarming Progress of Yellow Few
Observation-Disclosures poIifiri

| Alarming Progress OF Yellow Fever at
Observation-Disclosures Politicians.
| JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. S.-Reports
| heretofore without confirmation that yell
low fever was raging at McClenny on the
Florida Railway & Navigation Company's
road, thirty miles west of the city, were
| confirmed yesterday. About twenty five
cases have been reported from there as
dengue fever, but there have been three or
four deaths, Ii Is claimed, from n1alarial
fever. McClenny is town of 900 or 400
persons and the county seat Of Baker
County. Montgomery, Ala, has quaran-
tined against 1t.
The committee on depopulation COM
pleted the census of the city yesterday
and reported the total population remain
ing at 13, 13,577-whites, 3,945; colored, 9,812;
unwilling to leave, 10,375, mostly colored
people; with means of self-support, 1866;
without means, S,495; refusing to answer
as to means, 1880. 1t is expected that two
or three thousand will leave in ten Or
twelve days. The complete depopulation
of the city is impossible, and those with
out means can hardly be provided for in
the refugees camps under month or six
weeks, during which time it is feared the
epidemic will have done its work and hiin-
dreds of lives be sacrificed The negroes
are 10th to leave, being told by politicians
that they will lose their votes by a change
of residence.
Seventy new cases were reported
to the Board of Trade yesterday for the
twenty-four hour ended at six p. m. There
were eight deaths from yellow fever dur
ing the same period. Among the prostra-
tions by fever are Hon. III. A. Lengle,
cashier of the State Bank of Florida and
chairman of the committee of sanitation
of the the citizens association, who had
worked indefatigably since the outbreak
of the fever. The roll Of deaths is as fol-
lows: DR.. Cone Williams, a prominent
druggist; M. A. Brotherton, clerk for
Kohn, Furchott & Co.; Mrs. Herrick, the
third of her family MRS. Davenport, coiored,
A.C.Oswald, NC. Cliggott and Mrs. Wash
ington, colored The total number of cases
to date is 511; total deaths, so. DIR. C.
Walton, druggist, died from what was
reported as bilious remittent fever, and
Miss Nellie Rogers, manager Of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company, died after the
official list had closed. The infant child
of Mrs. Wolf died yesterday, but, it is
said, not from yellow fever, though the
whole family-the mother and eight chill
dren-have the disease, and one daughter
lied Thursday.

SENATOR CULLoM, of Illinois, has
determined to investigate the question
raised by the Canadian Government as
to the position of the st. Clair flats
canal. Since the belligerent mania
reached Congress, several Canadian
papers have rushed forward to claim
that the vessels of the Dominion had q
right to navigate the St. Clair fats
canal, as part of it was in Canada.
Some color is lent to this claim by a
clause in the River and Harbor bill Of
1911, which made an appropriation
Tor improving the st. Clair flats,
enunltS With statement that a portion
,s,sat was within Canadian territory.

OFFICIALS DOUBTFUL.
The State Department Doubtful Regarding 8
the Expediency of the Chinese Exclusion



The State Department Doubtful Regarding q
the Expediency of the Chinese Exclusion
Bill:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-While not ex=
pressing themselves very ioudlt, there is
some doubt expressed by State DEPART
mettt officials concerning the propriety of
Congress pushing tt tt- passage bill such
as that now before the Senate, the Scott
Chinese exclusion measure; before this
Government has received official informa-
tion of the rejection Of the treaty by the
Celestials.
''It will be particularly awkward for
u.s." said one Of them to a reporter this
morning, ''if we should learil :hst the
treaty has not been rejected after all.
There has been nothing official heard, you
know, and even Mini ster Denby says that
he has no positive information to the
effect that the treaty has been re-
jected. All that has been re-
ceited is an undficial ttnautRori-
tatiVe dispatch fro1ti London; and it is d
very slight thread OH which tf hing such
radical legislation as that Of the Scott bili
I can see why it may be forced to its pas
sage; for, id view of coming events, neith-
er political party waits to object ta sttch
an act, thereby jeopardizing some hope Of
success. China would have good cause to
complain if the report of the rejection of
the treaty should prove false and the bill
should become a law, notwithstanding the
fact that it might be argued that the bill
was an entirely domestic matter. 1t does
not seem exactly courteous to be in such
haste"

there is often little frosted wheat in

hard wheat because there was a few
kernels of frosted now and then scat
tered through it."
