is as follows:
"A second autopsy confirms the dag

will start promptly for that place. The
action to be taken, therefore, will depend
almost entirely on his report. If the dis

steps will be taken to prevent its spread

OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED.
Quarantine Declared Against the
Infected Gulf Coast.

jackson, Miss. Sept. Ga telegram re-
ceivcd by Governor McLaurin this morn
ing at 10 o'clock from the members of the
Mississippi state board of health, who are
now at Ocean Springs, Miss, stating that
it was the unanimous opinion of repre-
sentatives of the boards of health of Lou
isiana. Alabama and Mississippi and of
the marine hospital service that without
doubt yellow fever was now raging at the
seaport. The city council at special
meeting this afternoon decided to inaug-
urate limited quarantine against the
gulf coast, the scene of the yellow fever
epidemic, and police officers will meet all
trains coming from the south and see that
no person from the infected district alights
here.
The receipt of the news from Ocean
Springs created a mild sensation in this
city today. but no anxiety is felt. Many
people suddenly remembered that they
had been long planning a summer vaca'
ton and forthwith packed their luggage
and proceeded northward. This feeling
was intensified by the fact that it was ru
mored that there were seventy cases OF
yellow fever in small town thirty mile;

west Of here, and this was the cause of the
death of Hon. Sid Champion, prominent
member of the state legislature, who died
at Edwards yesterday evening. The re-
port from Edwards stated that family
of nine persons had recently returned
from an outing at Ocean Springs, and af-
ter their return seven of them were taken
with a fever. Mr.. Champion had visited
the family, and two days afterward was
taken similarly and died Yesterday after
noon. The news from the gulf coast
serves to recall to the people of Jackson
the stirring times of 1873, when this city
was devastated by yellow fever and when
for days veritable reign of terror OPP
pressed the city and vicinity. During
these times the shot gun played a promi-
nent part, and was found to be by far the
most persuasive means of preventing the
spread Of the plague.
