STOPPED THE EXPERTS.
Rayne, La., with ShOtguns stood on

LAFAYETTE, La, Sept. 29.-T'he effort OF
the business men of the city and state
health officers of New Orleans to effect n
modification of the rigid quarantine re-
strictons of the various parishes of tins
state by IL conference of the parish and
town quarantine officials along the South
crn and Texas Pacific roads ended abrupt
" this afternoon. The train carrying the
physicians who were to take part in the
conference to be held on board the train
which left Algiers this morning passed
through Lafayette this afternoon. but
failed to proceed any further than Rayne,
where the people, armed with shotguns,
refused TO let it 90 through. When the
train reached the corporate limits of Rayne
body of men tagged it down and In
formed the passengers aboard that II
would not be allowed TO go on; that un-
der no circumstances would it be per-
mitted to enter the corporate limits OF
Raync Determined men, with shotguns
and rifles. pointed the deadly weapons at
Engineer Gregory and declared that The
wheels would have to stop. Members oil
the body of citizens threatened to tear up
the track if the train persisted to run
through the town. The reception was 100
warm to even permit of parley, and the
officials of the train decided that it would
be wise TO make its way back. An unSus-
Meeting fellow walked from the depot at
Rayne and entered the train to deliver
telegram to one of the physicians. The
guards found it out and would not let HIM
ret back into the town, and in consequence
the unfortunate messenger was compelled
TO remain on board. The train returned
TO Lafayette at about q o'clock in the az
tcrnoon and stayed in the station about
half an hour. Among the passengers were
DR.. s. Il. Ollphant. DR.. Carter of the
l.. s. marine hospital, DIR. Guiteras,
DR. Smith and Messrs. Tarlton and Freter
of Franklin. Mr. Beverly Miles, eX-Sher-
iff Frero. Superintendent Owens of the
Southern Pacific, DR.. Alfred Duprere of
New Iberia and several Others The train
was in charge of Conductor Lusted.
Had not Raync prevented the party from
passing it would have been interfered win
elsewhere. The authorities OF Lake
Charles and Operlouser wired here that
the train would not be permitted to pass
through those towns.
II is reported that DR.. Guiteras, who
was on board, was trying to make his way,
into Texas. where his services are wanteh
as fever expert.
The news that the physicians who were
on the train had recently been in contac;
with yellow fever patients caused a deal
of unfayorable comment. The circulars
issued here stated positively that Or: Car,
ter would be the only one from an infected
point This action of the people along the
road will in all probability put an. end TO
the move to have physicians conference;
ANY plan to modify the quarantine would
hardly meet with the approval OF the peo-
pie.

They Nominate Candidates for State
Officers Yesterday without
Tp.nn ~

Boston, Sept. 29.-The republican state
convention of Massachusetts nominated
candidates for state offices today. There
was large attendance of delegates and
the plans of the state committee for the
conduct of the session, as perfected at pre-
viOus meetings, were carried out. The
ticket is as follows:
Governor Roger Walcott; Lieutenant
Governor, William Crane; secretary, Will
liam DIN: treasurer, L. p. Shaw; auditor,
John w. Kimball; attorney general, Moses
NJ. Knowlton.
The foregoing are all denominations.
Col. A. III. Goettinger of Springfield was
the temporary chairman. In the perma-
nent organization w. s. Hopkins of Wor-
cester was made chairman. Col. Melvin
of Adams. chairman of the committee on
resolutions, presented the committees re-
port. which was adopted. The platform
stands TO a firm, but moderate, foreign
policy, an extension of the merit system
in the civil service and more stringent i'm
migration and naturalization laws. The
only declaration of the financial plank is
by inference in favor of the gold stand
ard, and consists of rhetorical arraign-
ment of Bryan, Debs and Altgeld us eX-
ponents of free silver. For the rest the
platform deals with state and local issues
United States Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge renominated Governor WalcOtt and
the motion was carried unanimously and
with great demonstration of enthusiasm.

Quarantine to he Raised.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 29.-(Special)-Dr.
Swearngen authorized the following state.
ment tonight: The quarantine against
Houston can be raised with perfect safety,
but if a single case develops here or else
where the people of Texas will be imme
diately Informed. DR.. Swearingen had not
decided fully as to his future movements
but was of the opinion that he would re"
main here tomorrow. DR.. Ketchum, when
seen by the reporter, gave his unqualified
denial to the report that the case at VIC
toria was one of yellow fever. and e ;,
pressed surprise that such reports snoulu
have been circulated. There was not the
slightest symptom to warrant such ru-
mors. He and DR.. Peoples, who is the
health officer at Navasota. remained over
here tonight, but will return home tomof-
row morning.
DR.. Peoples said that Navasota'ss quar-
antine against Houston would be raised to-
morrow, and the physicians from Hemp
stead have the same promise. 1t is highiy
probable, in view of DR.. Swearingen S
statement quoted above, that the majority
of the quarantine along the line of the
Central will be lifted also.

QUARANTINE INSANITY.
1t Is Still Affecting Some of the Sta

Galveston. Tex, Sept. 29.-(Special)-
City Health Physician Fisher today
wired Surgeon General Wyman that
while Galveston had no yellow fever nor
a suspicious case. and while the city is
cleaner than it has been before in twenty
five years, the health department would
be glad to entertain an expert if desired
to send one. He also added that the cit
liens were not willing to admit an ex-
pert who had recently been in an infected
district. DR.. Wyman replied that DR..
John Guiteras was immune. and that
he had not nor never would inflict any
locality, and he thought inspection should
advise later of DR.. Guiteras' movements.
County Physician Warfeld yesterday
received resolutions signed by twenty-siX
citizens of League City. near the Gal
veston-Harris county line, protesting
because freight ruled out of Galveston
is held on side track in their town; they
also demanded that he take his quaran-
DIR. Warfeld replied that he would not
move the inspectors. Two cars, which

folks were indignant, saying that if the
wood was not good enough for Galveston

shot gun quarantine was inaugurated to-
day and trains were not allowed to pass.
The railroad finally made arrangements
to have their trains run through. The
Houston train with the through passen-
gers has to run through Alvin and on to
Arcola to make connection with the main
line trains.
The Missouri Kansas and Texas has
taken off all passenger trains south of
Sealy. This has been done so that it can
operate its trains through quarantine
lines in the state. Passengers from Gal

ment refuses to raise the quarantine

cause Beaumont is in communication

THAT wOODFORD NOTE.
4 Fair Statement of the Note That
Caused Some Old Crowns to Tot

Chicago. Oct. IA Washington spe-
cial to the Times-H Herald says:
1t is now possible for the Times-fler-
aid to give, not the exact text of the
famous Woodford note to Spain, but
fair statement of it's substance.
This now celebrated and much dis
cussed document simply expresses on
the part of the United States the hope
that the war would he brought to
close as speedily as possible. but there
is no date fixed when the consumma-
ton is to he reached, and that the in
terests of Spain. the interests of hui
mainly and the interests of the world
at large are reasons why the war should
be ended with the least possible delay.
And with that in view, acting as
friend to Spain because of the great
stake which the United States has in
Cuba. financially and otherwise; because
of the annoyance to which the United
States has been put by maintaining
patrol over and preventing the sailing
of filibustering expeditions, and because
civilization opposes the war, the United
States rendered to Spain its good offices
to act as a friend between the mother
country and her rebellious colony. i'll
the hope that she may be able to effect
settlement and bring the war to
close.
This is all there is in the note. There
is not the faintest suggestion of this
government forcing upon Spain her good
offices if she does not care to voluntarily
accept them. nor is there an intimation
that the war must be brought to close
by certain time. Spain must return
an answer to this note by a fixed date.
Minister Woodford has made no report
of the recent happenings in Madrid. This
fact compelled reliance on the newspa-
per reports for the status of affairs in
Spain. There seems to be general be-
lief among the members of the presidents
official family that the Madrid crisis, If
not making for our good can not be eX-
pccted to injure our relations with Spain,
for that country is too near an end of her
financial resources to put forth more
strenuous efforts to subdue the Cubans.
On the other hand it is believed that lib
eral ministry will almost certainly offer a
good opportunity for bringing the present
war to an end.
The conditions in Hawaii as revealed
by Admiral Beardslee, were talked of, and
with evident satisfaction the cabinet re-
ceived the admirars statement that in all
of his stay in Hawaiian waters his rela-
tons with the japanese officials on shore
and on the cruiser Naniwa were of the
most pleasant nature.

The N|cARAGUAN CANAL
AN INQUIRY CONCERNING THE RE-
CENT GRANT TO THE ATLAS
STEAMSHIP COMPANY.
THE BRITISH UP 70 THEIR TRICKS
Consul O'Hara Gives Brief Details of
Concession Granted II British
Company, and Uncle Sam
VIII Investigate.

Washington, Sept. 30.-It is stated by
persons familiar with Nicaraguan canal
affairs that either the United States or
the Nicaragua Canal company will insti-
tute an inquiry concerning the recent
grant by Nicaragua to the Atlas Steam
ship company, British corporal ton, of eX-
elusive rights of navigation for the next
thirty years of the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. These two waterways
are said TO form the links of what will ulti-
matcly he the Nicaragua canal. The
state department recently received u re-
port from Consul O'Ilara in Nicaragua
giving brief details of concessions granted
to the British company, and stating that
it embraced various exclusive privileges in
the Silicon lagoon, the San Juan river and
Lake Nicaragua. Since then additional in
formation has become available as to the
plans of the Atlas company. The Silicon
lagoon is said to be off the route of tie
canal. ani there appears to be no reason
why this should not pass into the exclu-
siye control Of British company. The
excavations beginning ut Greytown and
running thence west, unite with the San
Juan river, which in turn leads to Lake
Nicaragua. after which the artificial cut
IS continued to the Pacific. Under these
circumstances IL II Sull lliilt tNNluSlNt PRIV
ilcges of navigation in these two water
ways for the next thirty years would in
effect limit the navigation of the Mica
ragua canal. Whether the concession
made any exception in this regard is not
known. rs reports, including that made by
Consul O'Hlara to the state department,
merely state that the concession is an eX
elusive one.
An official familiar with Nicaraguan ca
nal affairs said today that the concession
would have to be construed as subsequent
TO that of the canal company, and the lat
ter's right in the San Juan river and Lake
Nicaragua, he believed, would be fully
recognized by Nicaragua. But the dan
ger, he added, was that when the Ameri
can company's concession expires two
years hence, then the British corporation
would succeed. under the terms of the
recent concession to all exclusive rights of
the navigation in these two links of the ca
nal. For this reason it was believed that
the government or the canal company
would take steps to learn definitely if this
exclusive privilege extended to the priv
ilege of navigating the lake and river.
when they became a part of the inter.
oceanic canal.
Secretary Long decided to send the
Newport, now ut Boston. with the COM
mission. The Newport is composite
gunboat. using either steam or sail, and is
well equipped. She is copper sheeted, and
not subject to fouing in the southern wa
tiers. The commission will sail about the
middle of November, and will remain in
the south during the winter.

HOUSTON AND VICTORIA.
Hexnr County Has QuaranHned
Against Both Places.

San Antonio. Tex. Sept. 29.-Specai.)
San Antonio is tonight cut off from
communication with Houston and Vic
tora. All passenger trains on the South
ern Pacific Railway between San AntO-
Mo and Houston have been abandoned.
The Aransas Pass road will run its trains
only us far as Yoakum and all trains
between that town and Houston have
been abandoned. Freight trains are still
running under regulations established by
TIE county quarantine officers. The
Southern Pacific routes all its business
through Galveston via the Santa Fee from
Rosenberg and today received notice that
125 car loads of through business from
California would be rushed through as
fast as it can be handled. The county
has established camp of detention on
the Southern Pacific at the east county
line and two train crews and half dozen
passengers from Houston are being de-
tanned there. An Arkansas Pass train
crew and Superintendent Butchers, chief
clerk and son and two passengers from
Houston are detained at the southern
boundary of the county in a Pullman
sleeping car. The abandonment of trains
between Gan Antonio and Houston has
caused the Southern Pacific and connect
ing lines to reconsider their order to take
off the st. Louis limited tomorrow and
the train will be continued until the yell
low fever scare Is over. 1t will he run
MS local train between here and Fla
tonia and II through train from that
point to st. Louis. thus giving an eastern
outlet for Southern Pacific business. The
city authorities have decided not to quar-
antinc against Houston and Victoria at
present. The county quarantine. how
ever, is effective in keeping people from
those points out Of the city
