CUTTER PATROL

Is 10 Be Strengthened to Stop Fever and
 Filibusters.
 Washington, June 15.-The treasury de- partment has decided to strengthen the revenue cutter patrol along the Atlantic coast from Charleston to Mobile by order ing the cutters Morrill,, McLane and For ward to patrol these waters. The reason assigned for this movement is that 1t is necessary to keep a closer lookout for vessels coming from Cuba, which might bring yellow fever At the same time the revenue cutters will cooperate with the United States steamer Raleigh in preventig flibustering expeditions from leaving the United States for Cuba.
 In connection with the assignment of these revenue cutters to patrol duty Sur geon-General Wyman addressed a letter to Secretary Carlisle calling attention to the danger of introduction of yellow fever into Florida by means of smuggling fish, ing smacks from Cuba. He urged that three revenue cutters be detailed to in- spect all such vessels, and also asked for four additional sanitary inspectors, to be stationed at the points most frequented by these smugglers, the vessels not at tempting to make port in compliance with the shipping laws.

TIE ALDERMANlC COMMlTIEE
IS in Baltimore and Gives Out Statement tc
 the Press.

Baltimore, June 15.--An aldermanic committee from Birmingham, Ala, is here trying to save the credit of their city. and disclaiming any intention of repudiating it's financial obligations.
 Many of the reports concerning the affairs of Birmingham have. the com mittee state, been misleading. The funded debt of the city is $1.7000 900 and there has been no default of interest on its bonds but a provision in the state constitution prevents the levying of a tax rate higher than 30 cents on the $100 and this is not sufficient to maintain our modern Improvements.
 Coupled with this disadvantage the city has suffered in common with other places from heavy depreciation in values as consequence of the business dcpres- sion of the last two years. Hand capped by these difficulties Birmingham is de- priyed of the means of paying interest at the times and in the amounts provid- ed in the bonds.
 "The city Is able and willing to pay part of the interest when it becomes due" said one of the committee, "and we are here for the purpose of assuring the bondholders of that willingness, and to negotiate for slight extension of time for the payment of the balance."
 One-half of the bonds are held in Bal timore, and a meeting of the holders will be held next Monday. An effort will be made by the Birmingham author ities to have the constitutional limitation on rate taxation repealed.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY McADoo

Sets Out on an Inspection of the Naval
 Reserve.
 Washington, June 15.-Assistant Secre- tary McAdoo expects to leave Washing ton tomorrow on an inspection tour. It is MT. MeAdoo's intention, If the ar engagements can be completed. to visit the naval militia along the coast in all of the states where the same are well organized. As at present every state selects it's own time for their annual drills, and these outings are irregular the only way they can be inspected on one trip is to go to the headquarters of the organizations. It is naturally stim- ulating to the organizations to have their headquarters visited by a national ship and feel that they have the distinct per sonal interests of the heads of the navy department. The visit, therefore, Is pro ductive of more good if made on a dis patch boat than to go by inland way.
 As to the length of the cruise and time he will be away he will be guided entirely by circumstances, but he will return here at any rate in the early part of July and will remain at the depart- ment from that time during the summer and in the absence of MT. Herbert.
 The programme at present Is to leave here tomorrow, inspect the naval mili- tia at Baltimore Monday afternoon, ana then possibly go from there to Whining ton, and thence Philadelphia, New York, Connecticutt Rhode Island and Boston. Circumstances. however, may cut this trip entirely short, so that after the inspection at Baltimore he may con clude to go with the Dolphin on to New York and New London, where she lies during the summer months when net otherwise in use; or. if time presses. he may take the train at Norfolk and go on to Wilmington and return, resumin6 his trip by water to New York.

 in the Movement at Chicago.

Chicago, June 15.-A meeting of rail- road men and planters will be held in this city July 10 to discuss plan for forming a produce exchange, to be con- ducted something on. the plan of the board of trade.
 If the present ideas are carried out this city may become the fruit and veg etable center of the country. Commis- sion men on South Water street are back ward about the scheme, but southern railroad men now in the city declare that the opposition will not last long, and that the time is close at hand when watermelons and other produce will be sold and dealt in just as grain is on the beard of trade.
 President Brown of the Augusta Southern railroad is one of the southern CTS anxious for the exchange to go through He said the commission men stood aghast when he asked them to pay cash for 1000 carloads of melons, 20 pounds each at 9 cents pound. Melons, they said, were cheap enough delivered in Chicag at that price July 4. but they had always sold on commission. They guaranteed a sale for the melons. and they are liable to inaugurate the new plan by starting an exchange -
