st. Louis Suffering from Sc
we're Scourge of Typhoid
Fever.
One Hundred and Thirty New
Cases Reported in Twenty
.. four Hours.
The Poor Sanitary Condition o1
the City Supposed to Be
the Cause.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.--This city Is
without doubt in the grip of an epi-
demic that may become pestilence.
One hundred and thirty new cases OF
typhoid fever were reported at the
health office during the day. Many rea-
sons are advanced for the origin of the
disease. The city seems to be in poor
sanitary condition. Water in the Mis-
sissippi river is low and it is thought
that high water would dilute the poison
and assist in abating the scourge. The
river seldom rises at this season of the
year, however. Between 700 and 1000
cases have been reported in two months.
There is no question but the board OF
health is seriously alarmed. The board
has advised that all drinking water be
boiled and all food thoroughly cooked.

CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-But one inference
can be drawn from the discussion Of the
worlds fair rates at the convention of
railway general passenger agents held
during the day. and that is that the
public will get the benefit of low rates
to the exposition. All the principal
roads in the country were represented.
The session lasted from IL o'clock to
o'clock, when the convention adjourned
sine die. Some of the roads will at
tempt to maintain regular rates on linn
tied trains, while running excursion
trains at cheap rates for the benefit of
the working classes. So great was the
difference of opinion as TO what the
actual reduction should be and as to
whether the business should be handled
on one way trip tickets or round trip
tickets that 1t became apparent that no
two lines in any one section, with the
possible exception of the trunk lines,
will agree on rates. When the dis
cussion was over those inclined to
prophecy thought the rule most likely
to prove acceptable will be fare and a
third for limited trains and one fare for
the round trip on all others.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-A bomb was OK.
ploded in the midst of the Western Pas
senger association Thursday. 1t was
President Allen Marvel, of the Santa
Fe, that touched off the fuse and he did
it in way that left no doubt of his de-
structive intentions. The missive was
in the form of a communication to
Chairman Caldwell. 1t notified him
that the Santa Fe had been forced to
the conclusion that it could not suffi-
ciently protect it's business from Chicago
to Southwestern Missouri river and
points intermediate while it was sub
jected to the rules and regulations of
the association, and unless the associa-
tion would release the Santa Fe from
the obligations of observing the rules
and regulations of the asso-
citation the hartman must con-
slider that final notice of its
withdrawal. Hartman Caldwell ut
once replied that he had docketed the
matter for consideration at the next
meeting Of the association. The Santa
Fe will not wait for, the next regular
meeting, however. 1t wants decisive
action at once and the general opinion
now is that the special meeting will be
called at an early day to take this no
tice Of the Santa Fe into consideration.
Nobody believes that the other roads
will consent to release the Santa Fe
from the observance of the agreement
while it is member of the association
and further incline to the opinion that
the association cannot be continued
with the Santa Fe and the Alton out
side. Dissolution, therefore, seems to
be inevitable
