Building Horseless Carriages.

Railroad Gazette; There are about 10
builders in France who profess to make
self-propeled carriages If all these
makers could produce thoroughly service
able machines in sufficient number 10
supply the demand the industry would
seem TO be on a broad basis. But serious
doubt IS entertained as 10 the efficiency
OF the motors and ability of the makers
TO turn out carriages in any number
Ihere are only two motors that have
been put to the test of long public serv-
ice. OF these the improved Daimler takes
the lead The carriages equipped with
theSe motors run satisfactorily on smooth
and level roads, sill they have the draw
backs of smell, vibration and nose The
other motor is the Benz. and a few of
these are running in France. 1t was said
while ago that when the ,Anglo-French
company, which makes the latter motor
as improved by Rogers, was formed,
large works would be built to make
motor carriages on a considerable scale
Motor cabs were also to be run N
Lyons and elsewhere. The promised
works and subsidiary companies that
were to run the carriages, however, 1ave
not made their appearance. There are
several new motor carriages. which Will
probably give satisfactory results. Among
these may be mentioned the MorS and
the Amedee BoIlee. but these have not
yet been delivered in any number. Elec-
tricity and steam have both been tried
as motive powers but the petroleum
motors still have the preference,

THURSTON WAS MISQUOTED.
Nebraska Senator Heartily Favors
Hawaiian Annexation.

Washington, Sept. Ia. - Senator
Thurston Of Nebraska. who is in the
city today, was asked as to the truth of
the report that he would oppose the
ratification of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty when it shall come UP in the
sena$e's next session.
Nothing" replied the senator, could
be further from the truth. l am now,
as l have been for years, an ardent
anneXationist and I shall do all that l
can to promote the approval of the
treaty when it comes I'D. I cannot
imagine hoN the Supposition got abroad
that [ would pursue a contrary course,
unless it grew out Of the fact that 1
have advocated the abrogation of the
existing reciprocity treaty which ad-
mits Hawaiian sugar free.
That position I took because of the
fact that Nebraska is a beet sugar
state and because our sugar comes into
competition with the Hawaiian article.
But while this would continue to be
the case With Hawaii a part of the
United States, there would be so many
advantages of other kinds coming out
of the annexation that 1 would forego
the free Hawaiian sugar in order to
secure these benefits
The senator ADDED that he thought
the treaty would be taken up soon after
the converting Of congress.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Panama. Colombia, says:
Guatemala now faces an uprising far
more serious than the one of a few
months ago, telegraphs the Herald's
correspondent in the city Of Guatemala.
The present rebellion is led by men of
great wealth and influence and is
steadily gaining in strength each day.
Adyices just received from Guatemala
are to the effect that 1900 rebels at
tackled the city of Quesaltenange on
the morning of Sept. IS. The garrison
there consisted of less than 1000 SOL
diers. but they fought valiantly. The
attack continued until far into the
night then the rebels. despite their SUI
perior numbers, were repulsed. They
vigorously renewed the attack at $3.50
o'clock on the morning of the 14th and

is that the fighting still continues The

This practically meant another term

tent the three presidential candidates
decided to meet Barrios with bullets
instead of ballots. The first move in

stored. This was done by bribery,

SITUATION IMPROVING.
New Orleans People Becoming More
Hopeful.

New Orleans. Sept. 15.-At the close
of the days investigation the fever
situation. so far at least as New Or
leans is concerned. was considered to
have materially improved. and there
was less anxiety tnaD at any time since
Monday. It Is not easy tonight to find
a physician who is prepared to hazard
an opinion that New Orleans stands in
immediate danger OF an epidemic. Dur
ing today there were 20 eases reported
to the board of health for investigation.
Of these two are still under investiga-
ton, two were reported as suspicious
and requiring further diagnosis, IA
were found harmless cases Of fever. and
two were pronounced genuine yellow
fever. OF these two one is the case of
an old French butcher, Herman Oar
tots. living on Madison, in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the French market
and whose case was prematurely re-
ported last night as yellow fever. Ply
sicians who had seen the case had no
doubt of its nature. bat it was only to-
day that an official report was made
properly chasing the case. In the tour
of the infirmary, one of the semi
private hospitals of the city, TWO cases
are being closely watched. One of
these PATIENTS was taken to the hos
l.
part streets in this city and another
today These two are the only cases
which the Physicians have been able to
trace to Ocean Springs.
TWO HUNDRED SICK.
at Touro. there are some 200 sick
people, and the utmost caution is being
displayed in order to prevent any pos
sible spread of the disease. Millions of
gallons of water have already been
pumped through the streets and with
the general situation 50 much improved
as it is tonight confidence is being
strengthened, The stormy weather
there since Sunday has had the effect
of increasing the number of cases at
Ocean Springs. Conductor Johnson, Of
the Louisville & Nashville, was stricken
taday, together With three others. One
new case was reported at Biloxi this
morning. It is that Of Rev. 9. F.
Emory, pastor of the Methodist church
making three in his family. Biloxi now
has 40 cases of sickness. OF these Is
are yellow fever, six are suspicious and
a diagnosis as to Is is reserved There
have been no deaths at Biloxi.
