An Epidemic of Yellow Fever

WASHINGTON, April "a. - Surgeon-Gen-
eral Hamilton said to an Associated Press
reporter, in reply to the question as to the
probability of another epidemic of yellow
fever in Florida, in view of the case re-
ported at Sanford yesterday: Il shall not
be surprised if there were considerable
number of cases. The danger chiefly lies
in the towns and cities which escaped the
plague last year. In the places visited then
there is a large proportion of acclimated
residents, who have had the fever, and are
therefore safe.
'Are you prepared to manage the out
break, should it recurl"
Eyes; much better than ever Before.
Already 1 have received messages of in
quiry showing the alarmed state of public
feeling for which there is no foundation -
The surgeon general added that the state
authorities are also much better prepared
than ever before, and that there is no evil
dence of desire to conceal the facts which
proved so disastrous last year.

THEESOUTHERN QUESTION.
Parson Newman Tells all About the Race
Problem.

Problem.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 24.-Bishop
John P. Newman of Omaha, has written
an open letter on the Southern question to
the Nelrs and Courier.
Referring TO his speech at the Virginia
conference, he says: you have race

we have a race question to settle as to
American born and foreign born. With
YOU it is a question with your own people;
with us it is the North against Europe

BEATEN for Gold.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 24.-The Ga
zette's Shreveport, La, special says: A
shooting scrape occurred last night in the
Opera saloon, in which John Fletcher, of
Marshall, Texas, received a fatal wound at
the hands of young man named
Walter Douglass. The trouble grew
out of the refusal of Fletcher to
join Douglass and two young men named
Jack Bergman and John Powers, in
obtaining money from an old conntryman
named Travis in dishonest way All the
parties employed are in jail charged with
murder and robbery.
They carried the old man Travis out on
the Texas road and beat and robbed him
and left him on the road, where he was
picked up and brought to the police station.
He made a full statement before the may
or's court this morning and pointed out all
the parties.

Union Pacific Directors.

Boston, April 4.-At the annual meet
ing of the Union Pacific stockholders to-day
the present board of directors was reel
ected for the ensuing year.
During the balloting several matters of
buZaess were considered. Various invest
ueSs funds were approved after explana-
ticjn by President Adams as, largely, the
bulk of them were inherited book accounts
Adams said that a year ago the invest
ments in the bonds and stocks of other
roads amounted to S29,697. This year the
total was S37, 755. This item he should say
was the strongest in the accounts, and he
would be surprised if the assets did not
easily net market value largely in excess
OF the amount named. A conservative
course of reducing this account by wiping
out all items Of uncertain value had been
followed.
The meeting then ratified the action Of
the directors with the executive committee
for the past year, thus approving the
guarantee of the bonds of the Union
Pacifis, Lincoln Colorado and Utah
& h.5lsthern railways, and the revision OF
the agreement between the Union Pacific
and the Oregon Short line.

INGRATITUDE OF THE REPUBLIC.
The St. Louis Paper is Against Captain
Couch

GUTHRIE, April A.-As illustrating the
ingratitude of the Republic, it may be men
toned that its columns are already filed
against the claim of Captain Couch, the old
boomer leader, on the curious ground that
he disqualified himself for making entry by
entering years ago on the boomer expedi-
lions.
Captain James B. Weaver, of Iowa, one
of the most persistent adherents of the
opening of Oklahoma in Congress, has also
had his claim contested, and been accused
of attempting to take people by
the throat. Old time boomers do not
fare well. Any number of Payne's
men can be now found lying
around Purcell who have been outridden
and outrun by the men who have taken the
fruit of their years of sacrifice. Most of
them take it philosophically, but it means
blood and murder A boy of nineteen, who

RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
A Minnesota Legislature Committee Looking
into Fraudulent Reports.

Minnesota Legislature Committee Looking
into Fraudulent Reports.
ST.. PAUL, April 24-One of the last Of
fetal acts of the legislature, which adjourned
yesterday, was in reference to the railroad
commissioners testimony collected by a
special committee appointed by the senate
to investigate the alleged false and fraudu-
lent report of the railroad companies. This
testimony was given chiefly by S. D. Mum
by the St. Paul & Northern Pacific
Under The direction of Major Postlethwaite,
MunrOe claimed to have made fictitious
entries to the amount of s., 096, SCI, having
been so ordered by the officials.
Another witness was Major Postleth-
waite, who explained the alleged discrepan-
cies which were accounted for by the bust
ness transacted between the Northern
Pacific and Oregon &c TranscontinentaI
companies. General Mcknight, counsel
for the former company, said to a reporter:
THE committee refused TO have apublic in
vestigation or let us put in any testimony,
and held secret meetings. 1 told the com
mittee they had no right to examine the
company's books, but as refusal to do so
would be practical plea of guilty, pro
posed to give them free access to the re
cords. The committee examined part of the
books, and about one-thOusandth part of the
papers. They agreed to show US the testi-
mony and give US chance to rebuff it, but
we heard nothing more about it until the
report was made to the legislature.
think the committee at first thought there
was something in it, but afterwards came
to the conclusion that it amounted TO moth
ing, but wanted to turn the testimony over
to the railroad commissioners.
Major Postletnwaite made j similar eX-
PLANTATION when interviewed, saying that
he and General Mcknight had asked TO see
the charges that they might be answered,
but the committee declined to exhibit the
charges made by eX-Clerk Mnnroe, and re-
fused to hold public examination.
'The next meeting of the committee was
held in the Office of the company when an
exhibit of its accounts and records was
made, part of which the committee did
not examine. Ex-Clerk Munroe stated to
the committee that he was employed in the
capacity of confidential clerk to the
comptroller, This statement was dis
proved before the committee when the
books OF the company were exhibited, and
it was also established to the satisfaction
of the company that he had no definite
knowledge of the details of the business or
accounts of the corporation.
''The committee promised us that in case
they believed the result of their secret in
vestigation made it necessary to make a
report on the subject they could permit US
to read the charges that had been made
and give us an opportunity to refute them.
This promise the committee failed to keep
as therecorCs of the Senate will show"
