Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-The city is without
doubt In the grip of an epidemic that may
become q pestilence. One hundred new
cases of typhoid fever were reported at the
health office to-day. The city seems TO be
in poor sanitary condition. The water in
the Mississippi is very low, and it ls
thought that high water would dilute the
poison and assist in sbatiBg the scourge.
The river seldom rises at this season OF tho
year. however. Between nine hun
dred and one thousand cases
have been reported in two months.
One prominent physician says that
the disease Is the fOrerunner of
cholera. which is sure to make It's appear
ance next year and he advances scientific O
reasons for his belief. The Board of
Health advises every body to boil their
water and to cook their food thoroughly.
Dairymen in some instances are known to
rinse their cans with q very poor quality
of well water. This might have methinR z
TO do with distributing the germs. There
is no question but that the Board of Health
10 thoroughly alarmed.

CHICAGO. Nov. 23-The star and crescent

Ion 10 to rise at the worlds fair grounds.
The ceremony of raising the flag took place
in the presence of all the Sultan's subjects
who have come torake part IN the exposi-
tion, as well as q number who had come
especially from Turkey for the occasion.
and most unique ceremony 1t was. The
most solemn rites of the Moslem faith were
performed by the Turks. A snow-white
lamb, perfect and without blemish, the
pick of q flock of tive Thousand. was led to
the sacrifice. Reverentially stood the sad
eyed sons of Mohammed. with arms in a
pray ing position aud eyes sky ward turned.
Thus they all stood save one. and in his
hand cleaned keen-edged scimitar. A
prayer by the prelate. o petition to the great
prophet, emph asized with solemn salaams,
and he with the curved steel knelt be-
side the sacfifcial victim. A silken sash
bid its two big eyes as the neck was barred
beneath the tnick-growiDg wool that the
killing might prove more easy. The knife
was laid upon the flesh. and tho innocent
sheep WINGED beneath It's touch. With o
epurt and gurgie the blood guslIed forth,
making crimson the yellow sand. An ef-
fendi stopped low and thrust his hand deep
into the bleeding cash. The warm sap
from the heart flowed between his fingers
and about his wrist, and his face WAS radi-
ant with benign contentment. Again
the solemn-browed sons salaamed.
The prelate drew his hand from
the neck of the sacrifice. the efendi
sprinkled the blood upon the foundation of
the Suitan's pavilion. Down came the
stare and stripes in saiutation as the red
flag Of the Ottoman empire, with Its white
crescent and lone star. was foated from
the top of tho staff. Thus Abdul amid III
formally announced himself as q patron of
the worlds fair. and his faithful citizens
pledged anew their allegiance to him in
this distant land with shouts of We've lie
Sultan; we've le Presidente." With this
pomp the Turkish emblem was raised above
the great rulers building. and for the tirst
time in Western lands and under Christian
skies the Mussulman's sacrifice was made.
The shaving of the sheep was typical of
Aoraham's willing sacrifice of Isaac. which
Coo stayed at the last moment. bidding
Abraham to substitute for his son a lamb.
Then the two high priests called aloud In
Turkish: "Patishoene Pok Yacho." (.God,
give long life TO the sultan and the Presi-
dent of the United States.") This was re-
peated three times by all the Turks present.
Iakki Bsy. commissioner TO the fair from
Turkey. then addressed the sssemblage
after when every body was invited to the
tent of the shah. where the guests were
served with luncheon.

WHAT CAToHINGs WOULD DO.

He Would Repeal the Mckinley Law and
Then Pass Separate Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Mr. Catchings,
the leading member of the House commit
tee on rules, who IS now in Washington. is
quoted in an interview as expressing the
belief that the present Congress will do
nothing to lessen the burdens of the in
coming administration and that the new
necessary steps to increase revenues. He
does not believe that the revision of the
tariff ear be successfully undertaken
during Q special session. but he does hold
that in q short session the new Congress
might properly repeal the Mckinley act,
thus restoring the old duties of 1888 That
would wipe out the sugar bOunties. effect.

revenue, making the total increase

prevent any deficiency until after the next
regular session and possibly for u longer
period. Mr.. Catcblngs would also pass the
separate tariff bills that were passed last
acted upon by the Senate, and he would
also add lumber and salt TO the free list.
The reduced prices of the necessaries of
life covered by these bills would according
to his reasoning, reconcile the people to the
reimpositlon of the sugar duties. He
favors an early special session of Congress-
thinks that Crisp will be Reelected
Speaker without a prOtracted struggle. and
believes that the pension roll could be re-
vised with profit. Mr.. Catchings sees no
danger of wildcat money in the passing of
the bill TO remove the tax on State bank
circulation and favors that bill. If the
States are obliged to insure the soundness
of their bank issues. He also favors the
admission as States of Arizona and New
Mexico. and local governments for Utah

concerned he thought it would do no more
than pass the regular annual appr0pria-
tion bills.
