New YORK, Oct. 10. --Bradstreet's re-

BROKE THE RECORD.

Nine Yellow Fever Deaths at New Orleans
in One Day.
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 14.-Yesterday
was the record smasher in the number
of deaths in single day from yellow
fever since the sickness was first re-
ported in New Orleans. 1t is difficult
to find the cause, except in the fact
that concealment, neglect and rebel
lion against the authority of the board
of health have made it difficult for the
physicians to give proper attention to
cases. At seven o'clock there had been
nine fatalities reported during the "a
hours. Heretofore the biggest number
of deaths in any one day has been six,
Reports from Mobile, Galveston and
other points indicate little change in
the situation.

WILL FIGHT MIKENNA.
Anti Catholic and Railroad Influences VIII
Oppose His Advancement.


WASHINGTON, Oct. Kilograms
and letters were received here yester-
day indicating that fight is likely to
be made against Attorney General Nc
Kenna If he is nominated to succeed
Justice Field. The opposition will be
based on religious grounds. Judge
McKenna is devout Catholic. He
was originally selected for secretary
of the interior, but the opposition to
him was so strong that he had to be
shifted to the department of justice, so
that he should not have control of the
Indian schools. 1t is not believed that
the senate will pay much attention to
this exhibition of religious intoler.
ance, but the effort to defeat his con.
firmation will nevertheless be made.
1t will be helped along by the railroad
interests, and the recent decision on
the discriminating duty will be cited
freely in an eff ort to show that the at
torney general is not possessed of such
distinguished ability as to justify his
elevation to the supreme bench.

TO CHANGE THE NAME.


Protestant Episcopal Denomination May
Hereafter Be Called "The Church."
MILWAUKEE, Oct. i6.-The Protestant
Episcopal church of America will be
known in the future simply as 1.-The
church" if the movement formally in
augurated at the meeting of the
Milwaukee diocesan council is taken
up by the dioceses generally
throughout the country, as the clergy
men and laymen firmly believe it
will. In amending the constitution of
the diocese the words "the Protestant
Episcopal church, were stricken out
and 1.-THE church" inserted in their
stead. 1t is stated that this change
has been under discussion for some
time in different dioceses.

number of persons "other than en-
ployes and passengers" killed was 4, :
4O6 and those injured 5,S45.
