Grounds Against IL.

Illinois Baptist Association Takes Decided
Grounds Against II.
MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, Sept. The
Salem South Association of Missionary
Baptists, now holding its annual meet
ing in this city, went on record on the
doctrines OF modern holiness or sancti-
fcation people, who teach a rule of
perfect religious living. The matter
arose upon a query from one OF
the churches of the association,
asking whether it is proper for lap
lists to give aid, financial or otherwise,
to ministers of the holiness faith, and
the association answered TO the query
after discussion of II by saying that
Baptists should withhold aid from
ministers teaching the modern doctrine
OF holiness, and voted that such OF
their members doing so shall be first
admonished to cease such aid, and
that after they have been thus admon-
ished, II they still persist In giving
aid, other measures shall be resorted
to, even to the extreme OF expulsion.
The Baptists, in explaining the action
OF the association, say they are not OPP
posed to the true Bible doctrine OF
holiness, but they insist that the teach
ings of the modern holiness adherents
are not scriptural and should there
fore be discouraged.

is almost ready to declare that 1t

cases of the prevailing fever since

UNDER QUARANTINE.
New Orleans, Mobile and Other South
ern Cities Afflicted with Fever.
Many Cases Have Developed, But % Yss
Only Few Deaths Have Resulted
Physicians Say the Disease
win Not Spread.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. THE Louis
lana state board of health kept faith
with its sister bodies Of the south and
the rest OF the country when It made
official announcement, rs result OF q
careful autopsy, that Raoul Gelpi, ID
years OF age, had died Of yellow fever.
Gelpi was the son Of prominent peo-
pie here, and had been spending some
time at Ocean Springs, where he was
taken down with fever and brought
home here. Soon after arriving, despite
the best medical attention, he died.
The death of young Gelpi naturally
caused no little excitement in the city
among the lay public. Physicians,
however, expressed no apprehension,
and stated their belief that 1t was
quite possible to arrest spread Of the
fever. The board during the day had
ordered d rigid quarantine against all
points on the gulf coast, and had taken
every precaution to guard against the
entry into the city Of any person from
Ocean Springs, Biloxi or other points
on the sound which it was thought the
fever might reach.
There have been ut leas. four cases,
in addition to the Gelpi one, Of people
suffering from fever who have come to
New orleapS from Ocean Springs. Ten
of the most prominent physicians OF
New Orleans have been pressed into
service and we have given the closest
attention to each of these cases. In
every instance, meteorological exami'
nations showed the existence OF only
malaria germs, and no evidence Of yell
low fever microbes.
In the past few days yellow fever
has gotten into Ocean Springs. That
is proven by the rapid death rate and
by the thorough diagnoses which have
been made by the physicians. DR..
Walmsley was disposed to hold the
representatives of the marine hospital
service and the Mississippi board Of
health to some responsibility for the
invasion. He said that the fever had
unquestionably been communicated
by the constant intercourse Of Ocean
Springs with Ship island, where
there Is United States gov
eminent quarantine station. Ships
from all portions of the world
touch there. A large number
from tropical countries, where yellow
fever is so indigenous TO the soil, re-
port there weekly.
Prompt Action ut Mobile.
MOBILE. Ala, Sept. State Health
Officer Sanders returned yesterday
from Ocean Springs. He reports that
the Louisiana medical authorities are
satisfied now the cases examined there
are true types of yellow fever. Upon
receipt of this report and upon further
reports that there is suspicious sick
ness in Scranton, Miss, 40 miles west
Of Mobile, ON the coast, quarantine
was extended SO rs to include that
place and all other points on Missis-
sippi sound coast this side Of New Or
leans. The board OF health last night
further extended the quarantine so Us
to include New Orleans.

Strong Fight.
Honolulu, Sept. 9.-The annexation
lists are very much worried over the
discovery of an alleged attempt on the
part OF the anti-annexationists to in
fiuence Senators Morgan and Quay,
who are expected TO arrive here soon
on n tour of investigation. They say
that Senators White, of California, and
Thurston, of Nebraska, who will lead
the fight against annexation in con-
gress this winter, will also visit Ha-
wall. 1t is stated that Senators
White and Thurston will super
intend the drafting of monster
petition to congress, in which
the Hawaiians will assert that the
government was torn from them
through the action of American Min
lister Stevens. The idea is to work
upon the sympathies Of Senator Nor
gan, and to persuade him. If possible,
that the natives have been deprived OF
lands and power by handful Of rich
and powerful whites, backed by a
treacherous American minister.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept sc. Wood
Davis, the state statistician, made his
first estimate yesterday Of the grain
condition Of the present year. He finds
that the shortage throughout the
world Is greater than In any year since
1881. In the meantime, more than co.
0O0, 900 new mouths have been opened
among the bread-eating races OF Euro
pean lineage, and these new mouths
require about $50, 900, 900 bushels Of
wheat and rye. The most liberal esti.
mate Of the wheat crop from data now
available shows product Of less than
that Of last year in the measure Of 25o,'
00O, 900 bushels. On this basis Mr.
Davis predicts that wheat and other
grain will advance materially in price
before the end Of the year, and he
urges wheat.growers to take advantage
Of the situation.
