WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Is. 1897


The yellow fever epidemic in MissiSsip-
nj and Louisiana is spreading, and there
is reason TO fear that it is about TO break
Bounds and farass large portion OF the
Gulf States, before cold weather comes
along to chill IT to death. In New Orleans
tie situation is not encouraging. Sew
eral new cases and many suspected ones
are reported. and the unfavorable feature
or tie returns is that the disease de
vclops erratically here and there without
any traceable connection between q new
and antecedent cases. On this accouot
Il seems probable that the fever germs
are scattered more generally than had
been supposed, are active, and before many
days VIII produce painful results. The
loss of business 10 the Crescent City is
serious. Local authorities place ii at 4
million dollars day which however most
likely is an exaggeration.

There also is starvation in the Island OF
Cuba, and it Is quite unnecessary that 1t
should exist there. In a casual sort OF way
1t is said that the Cabinet considered ocr
conclusion. IL is almost impossible TO Con-
ceive how a man OF Mr.. McKinley's natur-
ally kind heart, can harden IL as he has IN
connection with the horrors before his eyes
in that country IL appears like a terrible
illustration OF the power which gold, bonds
and sugar rave gained over the minds aud
consciences Of Republican nagnates; that
the least interest of any one of those cal
Ions furoes OF Mammon, outweighs all con-
ism or Common humanity: The latest news
from PinsT del Rio. shows that weyIers
campaign Of famine is being prosecuted
wherever he holds any town or territory,
with fie8dish pcrsistency. On last SatuT-
Gay THIRTY two persons died OF starvatio ion
in the single little town of Palacios, and
letter from a prominent resident of the
province relates that all food resources
inside the Spanish lines will be Exhausted
within a week. II such Condition OF af
fairs existed on the Congo or the Niger the
American people would be up i'm arms to
send relief, and all the pulpits of the land
would be vocal with homiles on Charity
and Mercy. But th-murder OF thousands
by starvation within sight of our shores
passes quite as matter of Course. Peo-
pie responsible foe the liberation OF such
atrocities should be careful TO study Span

The advance guard Of the fall flock
Of Presidcn tiaI cranks arrived A. sne
white House yesterday in the person OF
George W Altldnd, Pennsylvania Dutch
man. Altland's mania comes under the
bead OF religious crankism, and he told
the police that he had message FROM
God telling him to COME and advise Presi-
dent Mckinley how to conduct the Gov
eminent SO that the land should overflow
with milk and honey.
when taken into custody the man was
wandering a bUut the White House grounds
with bundle Of sticks in his hand and
asking everyone whom he met TO show
him where the President was. He finally
ran against Officer sawyer, no heard
the mans story and, concluding he was
of unsound mind, placed him under ar
rest aud sent him to the Third precinct
police station.
This morning Altland was turned over
to Sanitary Officer Frank, who sent him

will be notified at his home ia Colds
