Mayor Flower WIN Not be Deferred from
His Purpose by Them.

New Orleans, Sept. 2i-Mayor Flow
er today ordered a force of police to
guard the Beauregard school, on which
a mob made an attempt to burn last
night. only portion Of the building
was burned, and 1t Is still possible to
use the structure as a hospital for the
treatment Of yellow fever patients. II
was shortly after midnight that the
mob applied the torch to the school,
threat that had been repeatedly made
during yesterday evening. When the
iiremen arrived ON the scene their hose
was cut, but the firemcn worked pluck

squad of police, ultimately succeeded
in extinguishins the flames. The burn
ing Of the school created intense in
dlnation here and the outrage was Bit
terly denounced.
Every newspaper in the city is ring
ing with editorials, plcdRing itself to
support the mayor in whatever action
he may take to punish the culprits and
carry into effect the original dctermin-
alton to establish yellow fever hos
pital in the Beauregard school house.
a committee during the day called on
Mayor Flower to protest against the
use of the building as hospital. His
honor flercely denounced the outrage Of
last night. He said that such occur
rences would do New Orleans more
harm than all the yellow fever epidem-
les combined. The question had arisen
whether there should he law and order
here or anarchy. So far as he was
concerned, he proposed to exhaust ev-
cry power at this command to establish
peace A mob might threaten, but the
city had decided on the location, and
all the threats in the world could not
deter him from his purpose to protect
the Sisters of Charity and the surgeons
who would be sent to the school house
to care for yellow fever patients. The
mayor has the support of well-nigh
the entire community.

A TARIFF OF AGITATION.
That Is What Populist Congressman Call
the Dingley Bill.

A joint caucus of the Populist members of
the Senate and House was held TO discuss
the course Of the party toward the tariff bill.
As a result an address was issued. which says
that the tariff has been the battledore and
shuttlecock of politics for more than 100
years, and its final settlement il more distant
than when the controversy begar. The
country, II states has always experienced
hard times when there was n contraction of
the money volume no matter whether the
tariff was high or low.
"We have no faith,' II says, "in either n
Republican or a Democratic tariff as n
remedy for the evils of the gold standard
and monopoly rule. We recognize the fact
that all former tariff legislation, ms well ms
the proposed measure, has many unjust dis.
ordinations and works hardships to many
industries and unreasonably fosters others.
This resulted from decision OF the Supreme
Court, which declared the income tax uncon-
stitutcnal. The most direct and effective
method to supply the deficiency would be to
restore silver and increase the circulation
medium so as TO restore the level OF prices
which existed prior to the demonstration Of
that metal.
"Ihe Dingey bill is declared to be en-
phatically n tariff for agitation. The dis
elimination and inequality Of the bill will
create great dissatisfaction II seems de-
signed by the Republican party 10 create
such II tariff agitation as will divert the at
tcntion Of the people from the misery they
suffer from contraction Of money and the
rule Of monopoilcs.'

ton that he will use his influence to induce

tured IN hospital and not In battle. ~ the
official reports alleged. Rivera had been
wounded in n skirmish two days previous "a
his capture. and when seized was receiving
treatment in Cuban hospital. He had with
him his stan and 100 men.
The attack on the hospital was made Mon
day and 1t was surrounded by 1900 Spanish
troops under Hernandez Nelasco. Rivera,
