1T is NOT SMALLPOX /!
Six Doctors Pronounce Dis
ease Chicken-pOx.

Texarkana and the country con.
tiguous has no small pox in it. Six
physicians of our city, yesterday
afternoon visited and carefully ex-
amined the four alleged cases of
varioloid in the country, and unani
mously report that it is nothing
but chicken-pox. These physicians
names are--C. G, Burk, D. S. Will
liams, R. W. Read, F. L. Wisdom,
G. A, Reed and H. R. Webster.
Only one doctor, city physician S,
A, Simmons, had diagnosed the
cases as varioloid, and five other
physicians think he made a big mis-.
take, as all doctors are liable to
such error.
The Board of Health at once dis
the guards at the two resi-
dences Gn the country and raised
all quarantine against them.
We are truly glad our section is
spared another small pox trouble.
1t is to be deeply regretted that
error was made by Dr. Simmons,
but all men are liable to mistakes,
The outside world will quickly
the true facts, and
our caution in the mat
ter.

that if the officers would let them

To this the officers assented, and

change the basis of representation for the
Southern states, which provoked "a storm
OF opposition at the last meating of the
COMMITTEES, will be incidentally considered
and It's final settlement will be referred to
the national convention.
!, 1t does not appear, tonight, that
any of the contesting cities has
at this time any special advantage
in the race. Editor H. T. Osborne of
Los Angeles, says that San Francisco will
start with nine votes from the Rocky
mountain country, which will not desert
her under any circumstances. He claims
two votes In New England, a number in
the Middle, West and trans Mississippi
country. He predicts that San Francisco
will show greater strength on the first
ballot than any competitors.
r. c. Kerins expressed the belief that St.
Louis would develop a strength which
would ultimately result in giving her ma
jority of the votes. The number of votes cast
in the committee will be 3d. Careful in
quiry among the committee men and others
reveals the fact that no one city will secure
a majority of votes on the first ballot TO
an unprejudiced observer, it is evident
that San Francisco Chicago, st. Louis
and Pittsburg will be we'll represented at

Ohio people are scrupulously re

his coming here
What witnesses has he? There may be
named the captain of the tender City of
bridgeport, and her pilot, together with
MIR. II. Maitland kersey, who are in this
city now, but both the skipper and the
pilot of the tender have repeatedly said,
since the charges have been made that
they know nothing about the matter
Mr. kersey has not spoken, and may not,
unless asked To do so by Lord Dunraven.
Across the water are Glennie, Ratsey
and Watson, who were also on the Bridge
port and Valkyrie, and maybe they know
something worth designating evidence, =
but if they do, Lord Dunraven has not In
timatcd it, but has made the broad state

and nothing can now be proved or dis

SO talked those yachtsmcn who did not

the trip to this country, as announced
On the other hand, there were some who
believed that Lord Dunraven would in
time present himself before the special
committee Of the yacht club having the

is only making good his word that it
would cross the ocean, it was said and it
may be that the committee have sent for

have asked him to make the visit.
The Yacht Club committee, 1t was fur

of action, and perhaps it is we'll so, but
there will be time, and that soon, when
the yachtsmen of the country will be ad-
vised OF the committees work and be we'll
satisfied with it.
So opinions We're divided among the

from its correspon dent at Yokohama:
Ihere Is no truth in the rumor of an

No such alliance is possible. In fact, the
hostility felt by the Japanese against any

position or influence dare advocate the
adoption Of such policy
1t is generally believed here that the re-
cent emeute in Seoul was instigated by
the American missionaries, assisted by
Corean refugees belonging to the party
headed by the late Queen. The Japanese
also believe that K. j. Waeber, the Russian
charge d'affaires, and DR.. H. N. Allen,
secretary of the United States legation
are implicated'in the uprising.

has already broken out between some of

Mr. Bailey Of Texas, went so far as to
go to Speaker Reed and enter formal
protest against the appointment of Mr..

He based his protest on the ground that
he could not indorse the views to which
Mr.. Catchings wonld like to commit the
Democratic party, and did not, therefore
consider him a proper man to be placed
before the country as leader of the Dem
ocratic minority.
In this action Mr.. Bailey had the sup

declines to discuss the matter. He has
not asked Mr.. Reed for place on the
