Yellow Fever In Florida - ire at
Port au Prince.

Port au Prince.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The Marine
Hospital Bureau is informed of new
case of yellow fever at Tampa, Fla, and
of two new cases at Manatee, Fla. The
case at Tampa is that of refugee from
Manatee.
Secretary Fairchild to-day received a
telegram from the Governor of Florida
asking the assistance of the Government
in suppressing yellow fever. which, he
says, threatens to become epidemic at
Tampa and Manatee. The Secretary had
conference with Surgeon General Ham
ilton, of the Marine Hospital Bureau, on
the subject, and instructed him to render
all possible assistance. He also in
formed the Governor of Florida by
telegraph that the necessary steps would
be taken by the proper Federal officers
to aid the local authorities.
The Department of State has informa-
ton concering fires at Port Au Prince, ON
the 4th and 9TH instant, which destroyed
about one-eighth of the town, including
many of the public buildings. Great
uneasiness prevails. Guards are posted
at every corner and the streets are
patroled. The French and English lega-
tions are guarded by French sailors from
war vessels in the harbor. A detach-
ment was offered by the French Minister
for the protection of the American lega-
ton, but the offer was declined by our
Minister

sTRUCKA IT RICH.
Alleged valuable Gold Discoveries
I'm Michigan.

MARQUETTE, Mich, July 20. = The
Mining Journal says: The richest gold
rock ever taken from mine east of the
Rocky mountains was brought into Ish-
peming this morning from Lake Superior,
at the company's gold shaft seven miles
northwest of there. The quality of the
rock is equal to anything ever taken from
this rich shaft, and the quantity
surpasses anything ever known. Over
three hundred pounds of rock was
dislodged by a single blast and is
now at the company's Office in that city,
The gold is so abundant that it sticks out
of the rock, and the best chemists place
the value Of the 300 pounds of rock at
$40, 900, while there are othere who will
bet money that the assay of the rock will
pan out value of $1,000. This is the
fifth remarkable rich discovery in this
shaft, and many minor discoveries have
not been made public. The quartz vein
on which the shaft was sunk was dis
covered three years ago by Ishpem-
ing men, but with the exception of
exploding one charge of dynamite which
exposed the rich pocket Of gold-bearing
quartz, nothing was done because the
property was owned by the Lake Super
ior Iron Company, which would not sell
or lease the property. Last summer the
company put few miners at work on the
property and test shaft was sunk about
eighteen feet, at the bottom of which
a small pocket was struck which
produced gold.carying rock which
assayed e $4,000 to the ton.
All work was suspended then and moth
ing done until two months ago. Rich
rock has been encountered all along, and.
the wonderful find of to-day has set the
people wild. The shaft is now down
twenty-five feet and is about eighteen,
feet wide at the bottom. The Michigan
gold mine which adjoins this shaft has
found rock in small quantities quite as
rich. There is not doubt that one of
the greatest gold mines in the world has
been found at Ishperning.

The indications are multiplying daily
that Indiana is sure for Cleveland and
Thurman. Such widespread resentments
exist against the man in the Labor and
Greenback ranks, and he is withal so
unpopular in his own party, that the
Democrats would almost seem to have a
walk-over. Mr.. John Paul Jones,
3 well known politician of that
State, writes a letter to friend in Los
Angeles from which we have been per-
mitted to make the following extracts.
He says: "You ask me what we all
think of Harrison's nomination. 1 be-
lieve, and am in position to judge
pretty well, of the feeling in Indiana
both from personal observation and from
what hear from others, and have no
hesitation in saying that his nomination
adds no strength to the ticket in Indiana.
He will be as strong as the issue of Pro-
lection and no stronger. He has no per.
sonal following, and on the contrary has,
in his own party many enemies. If he gets
this support at all it will be because
their love of party is stronger than their
hatred Of Harrison. This kind of
support is always like damning man
with faint praise. Aside from this,
Harrison is very obnoxious to the work.
ingmen, not only on account of his
Chinese record, with which you are
doubtless familiar by this time, but also
on the position which he took during the
great railroad strike in 1877. To add to
his many other glorious elements of un-
popularity, he has embittered the Green
back vote by repeated assaults on their
principles for the past ten years. The
only element of strength outside of his
strict party vote he seems to possess, is
Morton's money. OF course, it yet re-
mains to be seen how far that can figure.
Take it, however, all in all, never have
seen the State looking better than it does
now. I believe that if the vote were
taken to-day Cleveland would carry the
State by twenty thousand, but. of course,
we cannot expect such result in No
vember, though it will go ten thousand
Democratic. 1 should think that Harri-
sons Chinese record would render his
success in California problematical."

WHILE demonstrations, professions
and other whoop-ups of the jubilant order
are excellent Of their kind, and form the
exciting and pictorial part of compaign,
there is labor of detail and routine
which is never neglected by sagacious
people who expect to win at the polls.
The machinery for registering voters in
Los Angeles county is in the hands Of
Republican officials. The County Clerk
is the same Charles III. Dunsmoor who
prostituted the functions of his Office to
partizan purposes two years ago, and
whose abuse of his trust placed in Office
a number of persons who would not have
been the choice of the people. The As
SCISSOR, who has coordinate authority
with the County Clerk in all matters re-
lating to registration, is bitter Repub
lican parlizan, and may be relied upon
to secure every advantage to his party.
Two weeks from now, viz, on August
4th, the date expires on which newly
naturalized citizens can be registered.
1t behooves the Democratic County Com
mittee to act at once, and to demand OF
the County Clerk the appointment OF
Democratic deputies to see to it that all
Democrats who are newly naturalized
shall be registered. Mr.. Dunsmoor can
scarcely deny this application, and ii
ought to be made at once. AS to the
great mass of voters there is plenty ol
time, but as to this special class the time
is becoming very short. Let us have a
sufficient number of Democratic deputies
to secure the polling of every Democratic
vote. Dunsmoor and Mason will see te
their own side of the house; let us see tc
ours, and instanter.

FEARFUL FLOOD.
The Reports of Damages and Fa-
talities Increasing.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 20.-A per-
sonal visit to all the food-stricken sec
tions of the vicinity by an Associated
Press reporter to-day showed, so far as
it was possible to cover the field, that
last nights accounts, obtained from hear
say, were more nearly correct than was
to be expected, considering the excite
ment and confusion which prevailed and
the wide arena which suffered devasta-
ton, but, as was feared, the points not
reached the night of the storm showed,
if possible, worse state of affairs
than those accessible. The work
of the fearful flood can be but feebly
portrayed. The line of the Pittsburg
division of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road will have to be practically rebuilt
from Elm Grove to the Pennsylvania
State line. Six large and costly bridges
were washed away. The track was lifted
from the roadbed and twisted into all
conceivable shapes for miles at stretch.
At some places 1t is impossible to discern
where the roadbed had been, while, for
miles, with the exception of only an
occasional gap on high and solid ground,
the bed is badly washed.

PITTSBURG REPORT.
PIrrsBURa, July 2O.-The great storm
at Wheeling shut off all railroad COM
munications with that place. The
Baltimore & Ohio and PAN Handle
Railroads are both blocked and it will be
some days before traffic is resumed.
The damage on the Baltimore & Ohio
road is mostly the washout of bridges
and land slides. For a distance of
fifteen miles, between West Alexandria
and Wheeling, where the storm burst
with fury, the track of the storm presents
scene of devastation. Trees lie across
the track where they blew down, and
frequent landslides impede the workmen
who are trying to clear the tracks. In.
the stretch of territory which suffered
the greatest damage, there are five
bridges to be repaired, and the office in
this city estimates the land slides to be
cleared, at twenty.

As THE facts of the Oregon election are
developed the position taken by this
journal, that that result was brought
about by the grossest bribery, is con-
firmed. Says the Stockton Nail:
The odium which attaches to vote-buy.
ing is very slight, it seems, up in Oregon.
1t is not near SO grave. q crime as horse
stealing. James Ripperton and Horace
Gillner, who helped to dispense the sack
OF the Thousand Defenders" and to
increase the High-Tax majority by the
purchase of votes, pleaded guilty in the
United States District Court at Portland
the other day and were fined $125 each
and costs amounting to $50. On the
same day Judge of State Court at
Chicago sent railroad official to the
penitentiary for six years for attempting
to bribe juror. Which does the reader
think is the greater crime? Or is there
= perceivable distinction between them 4?
We have never believed that Oregon
High-Tax majority was obtained hon
estly. Nobody who credits the Oregon
ians with an average amount OF common
sense believes it.
In close State with a sparse popula-
ton like Oregon an election may be car
ried by such infamous methods, but there
is sure to be great reaction, and the
effect in more enlightened and independ-
ent communities is not favorable to those
who employ them. Shortly after the
Oregon election a reputable clergyman
of Portland, who was personally cogni-
zant of these Republican frauds, felt
obliged to denounce them from the pull
pit. He was set upon in the public
streets the next day by the man who had
been elected District Attorney through
their fundamentally and beaten in most
brutal manner. Oregon is sort of Ameri-

REPUBLICANS who really wish to keep
au courant with the political drift, should
by no means overlook the alliance be-
tween the Democrats and Greenbackers
of Michigan, a note of which has ap-
peared in our telegraphic columns.
Michigan has become close and doubt
full State, and it is now more doubtful
than ever since the possibility OF enlist
ing Alger's millions is no more. The
Democrats of Michigan are alert and
progressive, embracing such magnificent
political chiefs as Don. M. Dickinson,
President Cleveland's Postmaster GEN
eral. The Greenbackers have always
been exceptionally strong in Michigan,
and there as elsewhere Harrison's vul,
nerable and offensive record on that
question will be used against him,
while Levi P. Morton's peculiarly
Objectionable record as one of the chiefs
of the goldbugs will tend still further to
cement the entente cordiale between the
Greenbackers and the Democracy. In
the old ante-war days, under the leader
ship of Lewis Cass, Michigan was a re-
liable Democratic State. Under the in
spiration of the young. suave, able and
potential Postmaster-General, with the
young blood he has brought into the
councils of the party, there is no earthly
reason why she should not take her
place in the roster of States which will
vote for Cleveland and Thurman. The
indications are all auspicious for such a
result. One thing is certain, the days of
assured Republican ascendancy in that
Commonwealth have passed into the
limbo Of things lost on earth,
