LONDON, Jan. Lord Salisbury re-
ceived today a special cable dispatch from
her majesty's consul at Santos confirming
the recent alarming reports in regard to
the terrible state of affairs there growing
out of the ravages of combined yellow
fever and small pox. Eighteen captains
of merchant vessels have died from either
the black vomit or small pox within two
months On some vessels the entire ships
company, officers and crew, have perished
from these awful maladies- Seven sailors
died on the streets, so quickly fatal has
been the shafts of disease. IL is estimated
that at least two-thirds of the persons az
tackled have died. The great ma
iority of deaths are emigrants and sailors.
The consul writes that a much greater
mortality than now exists is looked for
during the hot months of January and
February

thought Senator Edwards would act with
the democrats.
Il do not desire to be interviewed" +" said
Mr.. Miller, "and must decline to answer
any questions"
A few philosophical republicans who
are here profess to be Indifferent to the
attitude of the independent senator. His
vote with the republicans cannot, they
observe, control the organization of the
senate or prevent the seating of Walker
at the opening session II they see fit TO
act on that matter then. The democrats
have is votes to Is republican, even
counting Edwards among the latter. A
majority OF those voting is sufficient 10
carry all questions except the passage Of a
bill.
At the opening sessiOn tomorrow, il the
sixteen democrats vote TO seat Walker
and the fifteen ARnbicans, including Ed
wards, vote against seating him, he viii be
seated.
On this point, however, Senator Ed
wards is said to have declared that he
would not vote to seat Walker over Sher-
wood in the Twentyseventh district. He
said that no man should be admitted to
the senate who had l,640 votes less than
his opponent, and that the electors of the
district should have another election.
Sherwood is the republican ineligible
who was elected by the above majority.
Most of the senators left this city to-
night for Albany, so as to watch develop
ments at close range.
An Associated Press reporter late to-
night asked Senator Edwards If he would
attend the opening session of the senate
tomorrow. He replied: al consider it
the highest conception OF duty to attend
the session OF the senate tomorrow aud
shall be present"

herself into the water below. Conductor

The whole affair was done so quickly

created among the passengers. 1t was,
nevertheless, very narrow escape for
Nellie Gordon from instant death.
Miss Gordon was returning from Angus
ia, where she had been trying to get cast.
through the court against Guy Edwards of
this city. Her complaint was such fool
ish one that the case has been warled off
for nearly a year. Such stir had been
made by herself and friends, however, that
yesterday the ease was brought up for
