MISS GEORGIA WHITE, Local Editor.

The mountains stand, gallant band,
Upreared each lofty crest;A
And side by side, the state divide
In sections East and West
In robes of green Of wond'rols sheen
And diadem of clouds,
They hold their way with regal sway
And awe the murmuring crowds.
Beneath their reign tits very plain
Both sides can neither spurn;
They'll furnish us without fuss
Our governors in turn.
1t makes her sad and very mad,
That city by the lake,
A governor-incubator
OF herself she can not make.
But mountains frown on any town
That dares to disobey,
And would with thumbs official plums
Secure ana hold Away.
But while there are, both near and far,
A thousand in our state
Who'd like to be Ellis Excellency,n
And yet perforce must wait
Their turn, like those whose wiggling toe
Crowd up the line at school,
Well let each Ned leave off vt the head
And cheer the "Mountain Rule"

YELLOW JACK RAGING.
Narrowing Scenes in Santos and on Board Ships in the Harbor-hen Falling
 Dead on all Sides.


 Baltimora. June 25.-The American barkentine Priscilla, Captain Klages. ar- rived here today from Rio and Santos with cai go of 14.s5t bags of coffee.
 Captain Klages reports that when the Priscilla left Santos, May F. yellow fever was raging on every side. The scenes in the city and harbor were narrowing. Men were dropping dead in the streets. dropping by the scores in the city and orr the vessels in port. Some of the vessels had their flags at half mast day after day for weeks as man after man of their cruiser succumbed to the scourge. The death boat was being run west of the harbor day and night from vessel to ves- sel containing the dead and taking them ashore for burial. Some of the vessels had only one or two men left of their en- tire crews, and many of them were una ble to get away from the pest hole, owing to lack of men
 Seanaen were scarce and when vessels lost their crews it was with the greatest difficulty that men were secured to take their places. Captains of vessels had to exercise the greatest caution to prevent their crews desertng or being lured ashore by the boarding house and ship ping masters
 J. A. Gayle, the first officer of the Pr;s- cila. was stricken with yellow fever while in the harbor of Santos. He was removed to a hospital ashore and vas sufficiently recovered to be taken aboard when the vessel sailed.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE
In Special Session-Three Presiding Officer
 in the House.


 in the House.
 Springfield, H., June 25.-The legisla- ture met this afternoon in extra session, but did no business of importance. Gov ernor Altgeld's message was read in both houses, and in the assembly was referred to committee of the whole. In the senate it was referred to the committee of ex- penditures. This action was regarded as a slap at the governor, and was the first indication of war between the republican majority and the executive. The house democrats met this morning, and after indorsing the action of the governor agreed to fight all motions to adjourn and declared in favor of having all bills considered on the floor of the house in- stead of sending them to committees. When the house met MT. Snyder intro duced a resolution with this provision, but it was defeated by the republicans, although several of their number voted for it.
 . After the session the house republicans met in caucus.
 Speaker Meyer, who is i'll, appeared and Needles as speaker for the week. A gen, eral discussion followed, which resulted in a motion that the speaker be author ized to name Messrs. Needles White and Cochran as temporary speakers to preside alternately. This motion pre- vailed and then MT. Busse moved to add the name of MT. Berry to the list. He put the motion and declared it carried, but the county members say that it has no binding effect and will not permit Berry to occupy the chair.

Comments on the New Ministry by london's
 Leading Dalies.


 London, June 25.-The Daily News to- morrow will say: The result Of Lord sal isbury's double appointment will be that we shall have a good foreign secretary and no premier. MT. Chamberlain IS the last man in the coalition who would be selected popularly for minister of the col onies but the post does not involve much departmental work and MT. Chamber lain will probably see that 1t will leave him time and strength for great pariia- mentary activity.
 The News article expresses surprise at the selection of MT. Goschen as first lord of the admiralty, and hints that the Duke of Devonshire has taken the post of lord president of the council because l.e is dsinclined to work.
 The Graphic will make similar com ments regarding the Duke of Devon- shire's appointment and will express re- gret that MT. Chamberlain was not made secretary of state for war
 The Morning Post will express ap- proval of the appointment all around.
 The Telegraph will express approval Of the new ministry.
 Truth will say that the chances of up- setting the unionist government lie in its being formed of conservatives and liber- al unionists Were Mir. Chamberlain eliminated" Truth will say, these chances would disappear, but he is such a born intriguer that he is certain to intrigue against his colleagues if he does not get his own way in everything.
