CONSTANTINOPLE,N Nov. E.-Baron De
Calice, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador
to the Porte, has demanded the dismissal
of the Vail of Adana, Asia Minor, and Of
the Mutessarif of Mersina, the port LOT
Adana, the two officials responsible for the
recent indignity to the Austrian merchant.
Brazzafolli, agent at Mersina OF the AUS
trian Lloyd Steamship Company He has
also demanded a salute to the Austrian
flag. In the event of a failure to comply
with both demands Baron De Chalice will
quit Constantinople on Thursday next.
According to dispatches received by tho
Journal last Thursday the semi-official
Fremdenblatt, of Vienna, announced that
day that a noticeable GOODNESS" between
the austrian embassy at Constantinople
and the Porte had resulted from the high
handed action of the local authorities OF
Mersina toward the agent at that port OF
the Austrian Lloyd Steamship Company,
a merchant named Brazzafolli. 1t appears
that he first incurred Turkish suspicion OF
political intrigue by befriending fugitive Ar
menians and giving the most necessitous
cheap passages by the Austrian Lloyd
Steamship Company's vessels Last month
the Turkish authorities expelled him from
Mersina. The Austrian government pro-
tested, whereupon the Porte .aifowed Braz-
zafolli to return to Mersina. When he came
to land the local Turkish officials mall
treated him. Not content with that, they
also insulted the Austrian consul, who In
tervened on his behalf. Austria immediate
ly sent strong note to the Turkish gov
ernment, demanding an explanation. The
note was followed up by orders to the Aus
trian cruiser Leopard to proceed to Mer-
sina to protect the Austrian consulate and
the Christians at that port

related that Il person in Mobile received
Il letter from Il friend in Ocean Springs.
The letter WAS written in IL room where
II yellow fever patient WAS in he'd, and
the person who received the letter was at
tackled by the fever. All these facts are
not authenticated, but their publication
widcns the dismny and tends to make the
people believe that the yellow fever town
should he treated as the outcasts of the
world.
According to the statements of a ply
sician who had experience in the plague
of 1878, when from ninety to 100 persons
died every day for months. the fever is in
itself not nearly so dangerous as the panic
which accompanies it. II the people
would not become overcome by fear more
of them would he saved. lie says that
probably 10 per cent. of all those who
have the disease are likely to succumb
to the fever itself, but when the plague
is accompanied with excitement and panic
the death rate runs up TO 30 or 40 per
cent. of all those who show the symptoms
ut all.
When people have become Injured to the
scenes of the disease and death and can
look upon them without II feeling of panic
or unusual excitement, the greater part o.
the danger passes AWAY. and SO it is that
after any community has experienced dis
ease for a short time the ravagcs are

pear. the patient is given Il hot foot bath
and a strong dose of castor oil and put

tho great chances are that he will recover
within a short time. The disease is mt its
height nine days after the first symptoms
appear.

SECTION 90 is KILLED.
Attorney General McKenna Holds 1t
to Be InOncrntiye

The long opinion of the attorney gen
eral upon the operation of section 90 of
the tariff law was made public Tuesday
after being considered for a second time
by the President and his cabinet, and
after Senator Elkins of West Virginia
II Mr.. Richard G. Kerens of st. Louis
had made IL most determined but futile
effort to persuade the President and the
attorney general to accept their construc-
ton of the law.
The attorney general CONSTITUTES the sec
ton as not imposing Il discriminating duty
upon foreign merchandise imported in
bond through contiguous countries, and
holds that section ADS of the revised
statutes has not been repealed. There
fore, goods purchased abroad and i'm
ported in bono by way of Canada or com-
ing to ports of the United States i'll Brit
ish bottoms will not be subject to Il dis
eliminating duty of 10 per cent.
The opinion is IL disappointment to some
owners of American merchant vessels and
to those Interested in the transcontin-
entail railroads of the United States.
There is no doubt that it was the inten-
ton of the trainers of section ID as it be-
came Il law to discriminate against the
Canadian railroads and foreign ships.
Senator Elkins, who claims to he partly
responsible for the added words which
called forth the opinion. admits as much,
and cNerted his influence to the utmost
to convince the President and the attor-
ney general that such was the intention
of Congress.
The methods adopted by the advocates
of the discriminating duties are said to be
in Il way responsible for their failure.
Fearing TO make their object too plain
while the tariff bill was under discussion
they framed Il clause which they believed
would have the desired effect and then
had it inserted in the section while the
measure was in conference.
Senator Elkins has for some time adj
vocatcd Il bill to impose a discriminating,
duty upon merchandise imported in YES
sells of foreign register. his object being
to encourage and build up the American
merchant marine. Realizing that such IL
measure could not be passed nj the last

TREATY RATIFIED.
Hawaiian Senate Adopts Annexation
Measure.

NACtASuXSs
The treaty of annexation with the
United States has been ratified unani-
mously by the Hawaiian Senate, sitting
in extraordinary session. There was but
one opinion on the subject, and the result
was that the vote on the ratification was
unanimous.
There was never any difference of opin-
ion as to what the Senate would do. This
body was elected after the revolution
with the one idea of working for the an
neXation of the islands to the United
States. From the time in 1893. when thc
queen was %dethroned, there has been no
subject on which there was more unanim
ity and there has been nobody with more
of the feeling than the Senate.
The meeting ut which the ratification
of the treaty took place was the most
largely attended of any in the history of

time of revolution. There were ALWAYS
