FEVER MAKES GAINS.
New Cases in New Orleans ana Biloxi
Miss.

New Orleans, Sept. 13.-The excite
ment that prevailed yesterday has sub
sided.
At first there was a disposition to
leave town, but when people summed up
matters and found that there were only
seven imported ca SeS here and that they
had been warned as to six of them,
they decided to wait until the condi-
ton should become more aggravated
before making a break for other parts.
Those who expected to wake up this
morning and learn of yellow fever were
disappointed. Up to the present writ
ing the attaches OF the board of health
announce that there has been no change
in the situation since last night There
are still only seven cases, as reported
in the official bulletin issued last Al ght-
None has yet proved fatal and the bull
letins this morning from infested quar-
tiers were of a favorable nature.
One of the fresh cases of yellow fever
reported by DR.. Shannon yesterday at
Ocean Springs proves to be Miss Good
rich of New Orleans, a niece of the lady
who nursed Miss Schulze. the ST. Louis
lady who died of the yellow fever. 1t
develops today that the yellow fever
at Berkeley, Miss, was imported from
Ocean Springs. Mrs. Sangers, who was
from Amsterdam, n. Y, died at Ocean
Springs and her body was taken to
Eerlxley in a wagon. Soon after her
husband and son died at Berkeley with
persons, and other deaths are expected.
1t is daily becoming evident, therefore,
that the first case of yellow fever orig
mated in Ocean Springs and that all
other points have caught the infection
from that place.
Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 13.-The condition
of affairs as regards the fever is not
materially changed from the former re-
ports. Most OF those sick are improv-
ing rapidly. The conditions of all are
favorable. Late yesterday evening there
were reported two new cases in the
Desporte family living on Oak street
near the Point. This makes four cases
in that family. One new case was re-
ported yesterday by DR.. HARRISON DR..
Tackett reported yesterday three new

MANY THINGS MUSTHAPPEN
Before England Would be Justified in
Coming Silver Sovereigns.

London, Sept Recommending on the
reports regarding the Bank of England
and silver, the Daily Telegraph says
1.-The basis of the proposals of the
American delegates appears to be the
withdrawal of the half sovereign and
the substitution of sovereign in sill
yer. This may be plausible enough
from the point of view of the silverites
but it would be a very questionable
policy unless some substantial perma-
nent recovery in the value of silver
We're apparent, which is not the case.
IF Germany should cease melting
the thalers, if France and the United
States adopted bimetaliism and if India
reopened the minis, then it might be
within the province of the bank to
meet the suggestion of the America COM
missonerS and silveriteS but the in
slant the French government were to
adopt bimetallism the ministry would
be overthrown. The new gold dis
coveries and the fact that other nations
are adopting the gold standard prove
abundantly the wisdom of no departure
from the present system in this coun-
try

Clemens proposition to make the fight

issues of the next national campaign
Mr.. Clemens, at the meeting of the state
committee called to accept John Breiden-
thaIs resignation as chairman, SUBJ
mitted an extensive communication as
sailing the federal courts.
The committee members at that time
were very favorably impressed with the
idea advanced by Clemens, particularly
the one by which he advocated the call
ting of a national conference of Populist
leaders, to take action on the proposition.
The executive committee was instructed
to draw up a call, and also an address to
the people, both of which will be acted
upon at tomorrows meeting.

about o'clock. The passengers reach

The author of the letter which has
been referred to Prof. A. B. Cottrell of

has a sure cure for tuberculosis and
would be pleased to give his remedies
an experimental trial on the infected
cattle at the state farm.

The Cinderella Cafe closed Saturday
night. The programme for the last
night of the enterprise drew a much
larger. crowd than any of the previous
performances. Steinberg's orchestra
played, Miss May Evans whistled, Miss
Maud Sherer recited, the ribbon and
tambourine girls from Cinderella danced
and a bevy of pretty girls with white
costumes and powdered hair posed as
Greek statuary. This morning the
cafe appears as if a cyclone had struck
it during the night. The booths and
stage are being torn down. The decor
atoms are all being saved to be used on
the Cinderella floats. Mrs. Meredith
said: We could not have asked for
any better patronage from the people.
OF course, if the weather had been
cooler we would have had much larger
crowds, but as it is enough money was
cleared to put two floats in the parade.
One float, which is already built, has
been gagged and it will be decorated
