YELLOW FEVER AT BRUNSWICK.
The Board Of Health Declares That II
In Not Epidemic.


A special from Brunswick. Ca, says:
After the wild rumors Of last night mat
tiers have assumed a normal quiet and
people are not leaving the city as they did
before Many are going to St. Simons to
spend the night with their families who will
return to their business during the day A
number OF stores recently closed are being
kept open.
At the board Of health meeting two cases
Of fever were reported-the Cox child re-
ported last night. and Mrs. Turner In the
northern part OF the city. Other cases that
had been reported on the streets after exam
ination were declared not to be yellow fever
An important question was presented at
the board OF health meeting. who is In
charge OF matters, the government or the
city authorities? One or the other must
assume the responsibility or great confu-
sion must exist.
DR.. Guiteras Said that It looks very much
as II an epidemic were threatened though
the slow appearance Of the disease was a
hopeful sign. Each death has been compli-
Gated with weakness from other Illness
Camp Haines will be inaugurated by next
Monday, when Surgeon Magruder win take
charge. The people have little hope OF
egress now till after frost, however. when
matters may turn.
The following bulletin Of the board of
health explains itself:

THE board OF health announces that there

Regattas on the Potomac.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 tne Eultor OF Ihe Evening Star:
few words concerning your editorial
OF saturday may be opportune. Your COM
plaint Of the decadence Of rowing on our
beautiful river Is In part at least well found
ed. 1t is true that there have been no local
regattas held here since 1SS8-the national
regatta held in 1891 not depending on local
Institutions and participants. But 1t must
not be forgotten that our local oarslhen
have occasionally gone abroad. and not al
ways unsuccessfully, as witness the two
great races won on the same day and in
two different cities a year or two ago.
Your question why there were no regattas
here between 1888 and 1895 may be easily
answered. The training Of crews Is In
itself a great expense: dinners and suppcrs
away from home, double car fare, ETC., all
having to be met Then the details Of
regatta are more or less costly. Purches-
ing gold medals. banners, surveying tugs,
etc. all contribute to cost somewhere near
s.. 900. 1t must be remembered, too that,
differing from most manly sports, its ex-
hibitions. as pleasing as they may be to the
public, AFFORD no revenue. 1t Is all outlay.
OF course 1t Is pleasant for the young gen.
tlemen who win and can proudly wear the
tokens Of their prowess. And 1t goes with
out saying that the physical gain from the
training, which is a requisite Is a lasting
benefit for the hundred or 50 of young men
who undergo It, But the cost Of the re-
gatta must be met. In many other cities
the amateur boating clubs find no difficulty
whatever In securing the requisite sub
scriptions- In some cities, notably Fhila-
delphia, the city councils have appropriated
in recent years no less than 700 annually
for the expenses Of the local regattas
The experience Of the boating clubs in
Washington in 1888 deferred the clubs from
again attempting q regatta during the sue
ceeding four years. This year, however, a
more sanguine view was taken, and It xas
hoped that sufficient help to allay all
anxiety could be obtained from those w5o
desired to keep this beautiful form OF ply
sical culture alive. But alas, we are de
posted in a cavity" While We have to
gratefully acknowledge our obligations to a
number of public-spirited gentlemen. who
have aided US by timely subscriptions, We
are still considerably short of the required
amount. Won't The Star, which has always
been an intelligent and earnest friend to
all manly amateur sports. help US by prop
erly representing the case to the public?

Hanlon Will Row No More.

Edward Hanlan said to a newspaper man
at Montreal the other day: you can posi-
lively state that do not intend to do any
more rowing. I have had about twenty
two years Of 1t now. The treatment I re-
ceived at Orillia 50 disgusted me that
decided to let some one else row for the
honor Of our country.
II think the prospects for a new champion
arising in Canada are small. indeed. 1 am
the only sngle-scull champion Of the world
that America has ever produced. From what
i have seen Of Stanbury or Gaudaur I do
not think that either will set the world on
fire. As long as we have such men as STAN
bury and Gaudaur at the head Of aquatics
boating. in a professional sense. will not rise
to the position 1t held in the days of Went
worth, Chambers and myself"

OF commanding presence with the piercing

American navy. Your navy" he said, sis
growing steadily and in a satisfactory de-

number of your cruisers should and doubt

Nearly Killed I'm q Prize Fight.
One Of the most brutal prize fights heard
of took place in broad daylight at Montowes.
about five miles from New Haven Tuesday
afternoon. The principals were Barney
Lynch and Robert Kennedy, two well-known
local pugilists. Accompanied by about two
hundred toughs. they went to Montowes at
two o'clock. A ring was formed. and the
men fought desperately for more than an
hour. Both were badly punished, and Ken
nedy was so terribly hurt that he had to
be taken in a carriage to his home. where
he now lies in precarious condition. The
fight was for blood, the men having an old
score to settle. The officers of Montowes
were attending court at New Haven. and
the men took advantage Of this fact.

PASSED A DIVIDEND.
The Whisky Trust Holding 1T
Money in the Treasury.

The Whisky Trust Holding Its
Money in the Treasury.
PEORIA, ILL.,, March 1.-THE directors
of the Distillers' and Cattle Feeders
company met at their headquarters in
this city today in annual session. The
principal feature of the business trans
acted was the failure to declare a diyi-
dend-the FIRST time in the history of
tbs cOrporatiOn-and the decision to fol-
low similar course in the future. The
reason given for this action is the fear
that the trust has large sums Of money
locked up in goods, and the opposition
to it is be coming so strong as to cause
apprehension. The meeting will be
continued tomorrow.
The meeting was not very jovial
one. The company has had a stormy
experience for the past year, and in its
case misfortunes certainly have not
come singly. The company, in The first
place, does not possess a monopoly of
the market. Outside competition is
strong. The company has great guam
tity of goods on hand, and much capital
is thus locked up. Aside from this
there are many other matters tending to
aepress both the market and the stocks,
as we'll as the company, not the least of
which is the congressional investigation
Nothing may come of this investiga-
ton, but still it has its effects. A gen
tleman who. while not director, is still
we'll posted in the affairs of the COM
pany, was approached yesterday by a
United Press reporter, and, asked when
a dividend would be declared, said:
ASK me something easy. | don't see
any prospect for one in the near future.
The company needs all its funds to
meet the competition of the outside
companies, which are gaining in
strength. And, aside from this, the
company has a great deal of goods on
hand. and its future is not very bright.
1t will, in my opinion, be a long time
before dividend is declared"

WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Its Condition Cannot Be Told by
the Appearance ut Pres
ent.
Illinois Correspondence Report
Condition Below the An
nual Average.

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Farmers
Review tomorrow will say: Reports
from the principal wheat-growing states
in the West state that the crop is at
that stage when not much can be told
by appearances, but few weeks will
show the true situation. In Illinois the
appearances are decidedly against full
crop, but it Is probable that few weeks
Will improve the outlook. AT present on
many fields the tops of the wheat plants
have been killed, but the roots
seems to be all right. Judging by pres
ent appearances almost half the reports
Indicate condition 20 per cent below
an average; one-fifth of the reports i'll
dictate full average, and the rest are
decidedly poor. III Indiana the general
condition is reported at fair, which
means little below an average. In
Ohio the present condition is much
ahead of that in Illinois and indiana.
More than half of the correspondents
report the outlook as good, and that the
crop appears to have come through the
winter in fine shape. In Michigan the
condition is similar TO that in Ohio, half
of the counties reporting the outlook as
good. In few localities it is believed
that the wheat has been greatly in
jured, but there is no certainty OF this,
as the ice still remains. In other local
tiles the snow is rapidly disappearing,
and wheat looks guile as we'll as it did
last fall. In a few counties it is small
from the effects of the fly and
drouth. On low ground some wheat
is known to have been snotheTed out by
ice. In Kentucky the general condition
is fair. 1t has been damaged in some
counties by freezing and thawing, and
has been lifted out of the ground. but
is again taking root and promising a
fair crop. In Missouri the condition is
hardly fair. Only one-fourth report
the condition as full average. Some
correspondents report the wheat frozen
out in places. and that the fields will
have to be plowed up. In some Of the
fields the crop cannot be over half the
average. Generally speaking, the early
sown fields are good. Late-sown fields
are of doubtful condition. LII Kansas
and Nebraska the condition is fair to
good. The plant in some counties is
starting to grow. and has a good color
at the roots. In Iowa the condition is
nearly an average. Snow is going rap
idly. In Wisconsin the snow came
early and kept the plant covered all
winter. In some places where the
snow has melted the condition appears
to be fair.
