Yellow Fever.

New YORK, Aug 10.-The World
Line passenger steamer, City of Wash.
ington, arrived here this morning from
Mexican ports and Havana, and, as a
precautionary measure, was detained,
for thorough inspection and f%unigation,
by the health officer at the quarantine,
The steamer will not be allowed to come
up to the city until tomorrow.
The City of Washington left Vera
Cruz early in August, and yellow fever
was prevalent to an alarming extent in
that city. The hospitals was filled, and
though the health authorities were striv-
ing to check the spread of the disease,
their efforts were apparently unavailing.
Their first attempts were to isolate
the patients as o o as the malady made
its appearance, but the disease spread 80
rapidly that it was impossible to cope
with it.
Many deaths have occurred during
tho last six weeks and il was a common
sight, the officers of the vessel say, to
see a string of funerals half q mile long,
stretching from the gates of the city to
the cemetery, each funeral party wait
ing patiently for a chance to bury It's
dead.
Among the latest victims of the
malady is l.. j. SNOWFALL, we'll known
commission merchant of No. 70 Wall
street, who has been in Mexico since
Aug. q. Aifew days ago The Evening
Post printed a report of the prevalence
OF yellow fever in Vera Cruz, sent here
by Snowfall.
lie was on his way to Cordoba, to
which place he was going to claim a
fortune of SOS 900 and 1000 acres of
ground. SNOWFALL remained only one
day in Vera Cruz, and was stricken with
the disease.

stricken with cholera.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 26.-Advices
from Singapore state that the steamer
Namchow sailed from that port with
500 Chinese coolies for the Penang mar
ket. The officers were Chinese, with
the exception of half a dozen Europ-
cans. While at sea cholera broke out
among the Chinese. The sick crowded
In the cabins, where a Presbyterian
minister and one lady passenger had
taken refuge.
After a terrible hurricane the chole-
r a continued to spread and deaths be-
came verv numerous. At first each
victim was cast into the sea with a bar
OF pig iron in u sack. Soon, however,
the dead were mostly thrown overheard
without ceremony. The death roll
grew alarming and no less than sixty
bodies were thrown into the sea.
The supercargo had supreme control
and insisted upon heaving overheard
all the effects of the dead. Under
threats the captain, upon arrival at
Singapore, reported only six deaths to
the harbor master, three from induen-
"a and three from want of opium and
general debility. Many passengers
were landed and no quarantine being
declared, the steamer proceeded to Pc
nang with the rest OF the infected car
go and crew.
1nfour days nine cases of cholera de-
yeloped in Singapore, all traced to the
steamer Namchow. On the steamers
voyage back from Penang, after land
ing two hundred coolies there, the first
European victim, the third engineer,
an Englishman, succumbed to the ter
rible disease. When the Namchow ar
rived at Singapore the health officer
was on the lookout and sent the vessel
into %quaratine. When the vessel Is re-
leased the captain and supercargo will

mands of the Alliance.
ATLANTA, Aug. Ex-senator Gordon
has lodged the Alliance convention
and now becomes the central figure OF
their agitation. The resolution calling
upon him to declare himself upon the
Ocala platform was very pointedly
worded, that it should be done before
this convention adjeurns.
1t was given out early this morn
ing that Senator Gordon would electrify
the convention during its morning ses-
ton. Instead of that a mo ton was In
troduced to reconsider the resolution
introduced yesterday, asking Gen. Cor
idon to give his views on the Ocala plat
form, but after considerable discussion
Jailed. The convention was of the
opinion that since Senator Gordon was
flguring as an opponent Of Alliance
principles, that he should at once put
himself In accord with them.
AS the convention was to adjourn
with the afternoon session, great inter
est conferred therein for all the alliance
men wanted to hear what Senator
Gordon had to say. 1t was never even
dreamed that he would snub the state
body by refusing to honor their request.
The adjournment came without the
appearance of Gordon, not even a sug-
gestion as to what he intended to do.
The feeling among the members was
strong, and found vivid expression In
such ordinations as "Durn It, when he
wanted our votes we couldn't shake him
Off"
1t was a~scertained during the evening
that Gordon was at the Governors
residence where a plan of campaign
was being arranged. When the con
ference was I'VE Senator Gordon gave
out for publication a short letter to the
Alliance at large, saying that his posi-
ton on public matter had been fully set
forth in speeches, and he was surprised
that any further statement should be
necessary. He intended to address the
people shortly and hoped to prove to
them that he was their friend. Thelet
ter is extremely non-commital on the
very point upon which the State ALI
ance wished to cross question him.
The state Alliance adjourned this af.
ternoon after a brief session. There
was no business OF general interest
transacted, save a re-afirmation OF the
Ocala platform and q request that the
legislature formally indorse it.

ty-five men in all, refused to obey the
orders of the officers. They had no
grievance, but did not propose to work.
Their threats and mutinous conduct
so scared The 800 passengers that many
OF them retired to their staterooms and
locked the doors, while others, too
frightened to move, renamed on deck,
but at q safe distance from the men.
After threatening to take possession
of the ship, the men retired to their
quarters forward and held a council of
war.
Capt. Baker had several times de-
manded that the men return to work,
but the commands were UNDECIDED and
on his last visit to their quarters, he was
driven out on deck, the men following.
The ringleader of the rioters was a Hol.
lander, named Peter Duzen. He led
the attack on the captain, who prompt
ly sent a bullet through his body The
shooting occurred at 8 O'Clock at night,
and Duzen died two hours later.
Meanwhile the ship was falling into a
sorry plight. Her fires were going out
and the steam in her boilers was dying
away. The ships speed had been re-
duced more ttan one-half, and she was
becoming unmana9eable. on to the

PARIS. Dec. 2S.-Ribot, Minister of
Foreign Affairs. to-day made to the Cham
Der of Deputies a statement of the relations
between France and Bulgaria. The Min
lister gave no new details, but said the
matter was now in the hands of the Porte
which had demanded Of Bulgaria an expla-
nation.
RbOt said that Bulgaria was an inte gral
part of the Ottoman Empire, and as such
had to conform with the capitulations.
lie added that Clause s of the treaty
OF Berlin was positive on this point.
He knew, however, that members
OF the Triple Alliance professed to regard
Bulgaria az independent and that Russia
was the only nation which held to the
French view. In conclusion, RibOt de-
clared that for the future France would
have no direct intercourse with Bulgaria
and would transact all business with that
prlnclpality through its suZerain, the Porte.
Millegoye expressed regretthat diplomatic
action had been transferred from Sofia TO
COnStantinOpe.
Maillefeu held that the affair was much
exaggerated. Bulgaria aimed at freedom,
ties nor acts of violence. Millevoye pro-
tested that Maillefeu spoke contrary to
what was known to be the truth.
MaiiIcfeu shouted "You are not In
your right Senses" A tumult ensued. The
President hsd repeatedly 10 call for order
before the upr0ar subsided.
After the sitting MilleYoye sent his
seconds to Maillefeu.

CRANkS IN THE CHAIR.
What the Barber Has to Face Amc
His Curious Customers

What the Barber Has to Face Among
His Curious Customers.
Truly tho barber is, and must be, a genius
in his way. Unless he has particularly
cute comprehension of human nature in
general, and that of his customers in par
tieular. he cannot long remain in the ton
serial ranks. Conceit, at least visible con-
ceit is n deadly enemy to the barber.
Should he possess that trait of character
he must judiciously hide it beneath be-
coming veil of humbIeness. The bar Der
must have that happy faculty of being
able to "sizo up his mau." Ii that indi-
vidual happens to be a crank on any partic-
ular subject the barber must accommodate
himself to circumstances and show world
of sympathyand respect for his patients
fuibIes.
There are cranks and there are cranks
But the barber probably meets larger and
more varied assortment of them than any
other man. First, there is the crank who
stubbornly maintains that only one barber
lives who can trim his hair properly, and
would rather sit three-quarters of an hour
waiting for his ideal artists leisure than
to allow another barber to touch his locks.
Then there is the crank with the three story
forehead who persists in having his hair
cut a la pompadour, or the foreheadless in
diyidual who is firmly convinced that bang
is the thing he must wear to make his per-
sonal appearance par excellence. 1t would
indeed be madness for the barber to argue
the point and offer advice to his customer;
| he must simply do his best to obey in
structions and-hOld his tongue.-National
Barber.

duce embarrassing questions of etiquette,
