They recall the outbreak in New Orleans.
when the disease spread with such rapid
ty, and ended in thousands of deaths at
Memphis and other cities. Those who have
gene through the fire say the disease is
worse and more malignant when il follows
dry summer like the past one. They say
there has been so little idea of a recurrence
OF yellow fever in the last few years that
health regulations have been neglected.
Every condition is ripe for the disease.
They do not believe the disease viii he

SPEEDY SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
GrnecO-Turkish Peace Terms May
Now he Adjusted.

LONDON, September 1.-THE Marquis of
Salisbury's latest proposal for the settle
ment of the terms of peace between Tur-
key and Greece is generally regarded as a
victory for German diplomacy and uch bitter
feeling is displayed in England over the
British premiers backdown. A fresh pro-
posal was what Germany had been hold
ing out for. namely the control of the
Greek revenue in the interest of all the
creditors of Greece well as for the Sc
curity of the loan to Greece for the pur-
pose of paying her indemnity to Turkey.
Russia BInmes England.
The correspondent of the Times at Con-
stantinople telegraphed that, owing to a
note from Count Muravieff, the Russian
minister for foreign affairs, intimating that
Great Britain was responsible for the lin
calculable evils from which Greece and
Turkey are suffering through the delay in
the conclusion of peace between the two
countries
The Marquis of Salisbury submitted
fresh proposals for the settlement of the
permanent peace between Turkey anG
Greece, namely. the constitution of an in.
ternational commission, representing the
six powers, under whose control Greece
shall pay her revenues. guaranteeing the
interest TO the holders of old bonds, ant
demnity loan, this step to be followed by
the prompt evacuation of Thessaly by tn,
Turkish troops.
A dispatch from Vienna said the Polit
ische Corresponding announced that Greece
had abandoned her opposition to the de
mands of Germany regarding the contro
of Greek finances. and that, therefore, ther,
was possibility that the Marquis of Sails
bury's latest proposals would lead to set
tiement of the matters in dispute between
Greece and Turkey.

The vast country north of the gulf of
st. Lawrence is. to the monumental ex-
plerer. the most interesting region on this
continent. if not in the world. For nearly
four centuries the ships of civilization have
sailed by it, yet. except at the very waters
edge, there has been no intrusion upon it,
The rivers which pour forth from every
opening in the hills bear witness that the
back country is a network of lakes and
water courses. Ask the commissioner of
crown lands of the great province of
Quebec today what his department knows
of that region. and he will tell you that il
is the least known portion of North Amer
lea; that only few of the lakes have
been surveyed: that two exploring parties
have recently crossed the peninsula; tha'
handful of fiShermen'S houses fringe the
gulf: that for the rest of it the wander
ing Nontasnais Indians are the only tour
lists who traverse half a million square
miles of territory. Steamers go up the
Saguenay. Lake St. John is reached by
rail- But away to the northeast is a tire
mendous tract of country, from whence
issue streams greater than the Hudson
the headwaters of which no white man
has ever seen.

closely watched by crowds of people as

CONFIDENCE IN MIR. COLLINS.
District Government officials Take
formal Action on Hawkins Charges


Formal Action on Hawkins' Charges.
The chiefs of nearly all the different de-
partments of the District government as
sembled in the board room at the District
building at o'clock this afternoon to take
action upon the declaration made by Varick
Hawkins, the absorbing safe robber tha
the money distracted from the tax col
lector's safe was given to him by Deputy
Charles W. Collins with the understanding
that Mr.. Collins was to meet Hawkins in
Canada and divide it.
|. Mr.. Hope Darneille, disbursing officer of
the District government, occupied the
cfair, and there was attendance of
highly indignant officials, who voiced in
no unmeaning manner their confidence
IN the integrity of Mr. Collins ard the
high esteem in which he is held. Before
the meeting Commissioner Ross stated
that there was no necessity for such "a
meeting. except for the purpose of allay
ing any erroneous ideas people outside of
Washington might have upon the subject,
bec2use every man, woman and child In
Washington who knew Mr. Collins knew
that there was no truth in Hawkins asser-
tons. This sentiment was emphasized in
resolutions thai were passed at the meet
ipg.
The resolutions recited that it had been
reported that Thomas Narick Hawkins. the
sef-convicted thief of upward of $9.WO
from the collectors office, had charged
Mr.. Charles w. Collins with completely in
his crime, anG that it was-possible that
this false charge might come to the attcn-
ton of those who are not acquainted with
Mr. Collins 1t was therefore resolved that
the officers and employees of the District
government. sharing the unqualified con-
fidence respect and esteem in which Mr..
Collins is held in the District of Columbia.
unanimously ard ornptatically repud;te
he absurd and malicious charge made by
said Hawkins against Mr.. Collins. whose
Integrity and honesty have never for a
moment been questioned by his superior
officers. his associates or the public.
Mr.. Daniel Curry was the secretary OF
the meeting.

DID SOME SLAsHING.
Charles Young Sent to Jail for Serious
Crime.

Charles H. Young, colored, was today
sent to Jail for four months by Judge KIM
ball for cutting Clementne Graves, also
co!ored with 4 knife while she was asleep
last night. The woman testified that she
did not see the accused during the even
ing. but woke UP to find that she had been
cut on the arm and one limb with a knife.
She reported the matter to Sergeant Dun
nigan of the second precinct station.
Policemen StrOman and Murphy who
arrested the accused on suspicion of being

simply a matter of conjecture. Deputy
Collector Collins said this morning that so
| far as he h. d learned there is shortage
of some thing more than 5000, and while
he thought the man could not have spent
SO large an amount on the trip to Toronto,
he had no idea what disposition he had
made of the missing money. There were
safe, each one containing $50. 1t Is Mr..
Collins idea that he probably gave to
somebody a package of $500 composed of
the larger bills.
Mrs. Hawkins. VINO seemed weak and
nervous. this afternoon escorted to
the Police Court, where Detective Lacy
had sworn out the warrant charging the
receipt of 800 of the stolen money. She
had to be assisted up the steps by her
counsel. and when the case was called to
Judge kimhalfs attention Mr.. Mullowny,
the prosecutor. said he was willing to have
the bond fixed at $500. unless the court
desired to fix larger amount.
There's nothing in the case anyhow"
remarked Attorney Langston. shes my
neighbor. and have known her number
of years.
Released on Bail.
The court fixed the bond at the amount
suggested and W. H. Horseman qualified
as her hondsman. Her attorney, speaking
tic a Star reporter said he was certain Of
the woman's innocence. He knew her to
be an honest woman. and says he knows
she is almost penniiess. 1t is his opin,an
that SIZE will have to be assisted by the
neighborS.
Learned the News.
When informed by a Star reporter this
afternoon that the prisoner had retracted
his statement so far as it reflected On
Deputy Collector Collins, and that he had
also concluded rot to demand extradition
papers, Inspector Mattingly said he was
not surprised. So far as Hawkins reflec-
tons on Mr.. Collins was concerned he had
felt all along that this would be retracted,
of truth about it, He said he also thought
that when Collector Davis reached To-
ronto and talked with Hawkins the latter
would change his mind about the legal
Proceedings and would return home with
out putting the officers to the trouble of
getting the papers. But in event of his
persistin gin making the fight, Inspector
Mattinely had arranged to have the papers
made out and sent to Canada this week.
1t was his intention to have had one of
the judges of the District Supreme Court
convene the grand jury in special session.
This could have been done in one day
and the next day the extra 1ition papers
could have been prepared at the State De-
partment. He is glad, however, that the
prisoner has changed his mind as he has,
for ii Will save a great amount of trouble
and expense.
The re1raction of the statement made
about Mr. Collins was good news to the
iatter'S associates in the collectors office
and they were first informed of X by Star
reporter. Ii was through the special ccrre-
spondencc of The Star that the police Off
Gals learned that Hawkins was on his
way home.

The. Star reporter today, unless startling

kilograms of inquiry regarding the dis
ease from all parts of the country.
1t may be of interest to state that frost
in the New Orleans region averages about
December 8, but 1t occurs at no stated
period, being most irregular in this respect.
