THE MESSAGE.

We present, with this issue, the
message OF President Mckinley To
the American Congress, now in SEES
sion. 1t will require keen discern
ment to pick out any distinguishing
difference between this and Grover
Clevelands messages With the ex.
ception OF few minor points they
might AS well have been the product
OF the same man. The message car.
ries no hope to the battling hone and
sinew OF the country or those ele-
ments out Of which the great
ness OF this nation was con-
structed 1t promises nothing for
agricultural, industrial and laboring
interests. 1t is a dictated brief in
behalf OF the banking and so-caled
Cuisines interests. We're a copy

turned over the outlining OF the
plans for putting the banks into the
government business, under the title
OF currency reform, and Gage is a

bad over the fact that the govern

BANK OF ENGLAND.
And Its Position as to Silver Explained By
 Gov Hugh C. Smith.

London, Sept. 16-At the semi-annual meeting of the Bank of England today the governor Hugh c. Smith, said: You are probably aware of the pro- posals laid before the government in the summer by the United States and France, whereby this country might in- crease it's use of silver as a contribu- ] ton to an international agreement standard, might enable the mints of France and America to resume free coin- age. Among the proposals was one ask ing the bank to hold the amount of sil- as against its notes"
 The governor then read letter dated July 29, addressed to the chancellor of the exchecquer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach. It was as fellows:
 "Referring to our conversation we beg to say that the bank is prepared to car- ry out what is laid down as permissible in the bank charter, viz: To hold one- fifth of the bullion held against it's note issue in silver provided always that the French mint is again open to the free coinage of silver and that the price at which silver is procurable and saleabls are satisfactory"
 Replying to the questions the gover- nor said the bank had no negotiations with the United States monetary com missioners, adding:
 We hav- bought no silver. All we have done is to agree under certain cir cumstances to carry out what is per misible under the act of 1344"

MERIDIAN IN LINE.
And Taking Extreme Measures to Ward Off
 the Dsease-The City Healthy.

Special to The Age Herald.
 Meridian, Miss, Sept. 16.-The health authorities of this city today adopted an order preventing all trains on the Ala bama and Vicksburg railroad from en- tering Meridian. This action was deem- ed advisable on account of the several cases at Edwards and reports of sus- picious cases at other points along the road This will practically suspend all traffic between here and Vicksburg.
 Excitement in this city today in- creased and numerous families left their homss for the country and numer- GUS others will do so within the next day or so, having perfected all arrange ments for leaving. The health authori- ties still think all of this unwarranted, as every precaution has been taken to keep the disease out of this section.
 There Is not a single suspicious case here, and it is fact that the city of Meridian has not been in as healthy and clean condition during the month of September for many years, as it is TOW.

 The information regarding the fever received by surgeon-G General wyman to- night incluisd the following:
 IA telegram from Surgeon White at Fontainebleau, Miss, says Acting As sistant Surgeon Gaines reports two cases at BerlSley, Miss, which have ex- isted four days. They are certainly sus- picious, and one of them, Dr. White thinks, is yellow fever.

 Another dispatch from Mobile, signed by Acting Assistant Surgeon Porter, says that that part of the city in which are the cases of Milstead and the Hol- comb children, will be disinfected The Ho,comb children are not reported as doing so well as on yesterday. All the cases previously reported are doing we'll. Bosarge, previously reported suspicious, has been discharged as recovered.

 The work at the detention camp goes on rapidly. The Scranton call for physician was met by Dr. Dunn today and the controversy between the county and state boards is settled. Dunn re- ports five cases at Scranton, ani that the sick doctor has recovered and the Immigration and disinfection at Perkins, ton has been properly attended to.

ENOUGH BONES IN THE CASE
Without Introducing Others, Said
 the Trial Judge.
EXPERTS TAKE THE STAND
In the Now Famous Luetgert Case in Chi- cago Bones of All Kinds lntro-
 duced For Identification.

Chicago, Sept 16.-Today was given over to expert testimony in the Luetgert trial, and the witnesses for the state were handled vigorously regarding the femurs of the human being, femurs of sheep and of hogs. When court ad- jourped for tlDs day the fight was still on and will be resumed Tomorrow msrning
 When court opened this morning the defendant came in upon pair of crutches. He said that he had a badly sprained ankle, the result of fall while sparring friendly bout with one of the guards in the jail.
 The principal witnesses of the day were Prof. Dorsey elf the Field Colum- bian Museum, who took the stand for cross examination.
 Attorney Vincent for the defense made 1t his business to show the jury that Prof. Dorsey did not know anything about bones anyhow, and that he was dense1y ignorant on the subject of femurs. Prof. Dorsey fought stoutly to show that he knew what gle was talking about wlrsn dbe said yesterday that the bones shown him were those of human being and very probably those of a woman. He made one correction, however, and that was when he said yesterday that the bone was the femur of the left leg when he had intended to say that it was the fem1r of the right leg.
 Before he took the stand Prof. Norval left tempora bone, was called to the stand, but his cross-examination did not last for any length of time.
 Then Attorney Vincent announced that he was ready for the cross examination of Prof. Dorsey The examination was abounded with technical terms, and again and again the attorney tried to make the witness say that he was not sure that the bone in question was the femur of human being, but the wit ness stuck to his first assertion. Then the attorney tried to show that the fe- mur was that of a hog and again the witness bafled him. Then the attorney tried the femur of sheep and again he was defeated. Then he offered num- Der of bones and wanted the witness to state from what animal they had come. The court took hand in the proceed ings at this point and announced:
 "There are enough bones in the case already without bringing in a lot of them that have no connection with the case.',

LIVES VALUED AT NOTHING
When It Comes to Saving Wounded Com rade--Garrisou Beseiged by Tribesmen
 Several Desperate Encounters.

shnla, Sept. 16.-The second brigade of the Mohmand punitive force com manded by Gen. Jefferies, reached the foot of the Rawat pass on Tuesday last.
 During the night the British troops were attacked by the enemy, who kept up a heavy fire for six hours. Lieut.. Tomkins and Bailey were killed; Lieut.. Harrington was dangerously wounded; two privates were killed; five privates were wounded and twenty-five horses and mules killed.
 The garrison of Fort Gulistan made a gallant defense. The enemy appeared before the place at noon on Sunday last and by 1 o'clock the water tanks were filled and other preparations made to resist a siege. The garrison was com posed of 165 Sikhs, commanded by Mai. DesVoeux and Lieut.. Pritch. Surgeon Prall, Mrs Desvoeux, her five children and two nurses were also in the fort. At o'clock in the afternoon the enemy closed around the place to within ten yards of the walls and at times rushed right up to them. The garrison repeat edly repulsed the tribesmen at the point of the bayonet and there were some re- markable exhibitions of bravery.
 A hayildar (native sergeanD with six teen Sikhs, charged into the midst of 300 tribesmen and captured three stand ards Another havildar with ten men rushed out to help the first party, when the latter was hard pressed by the ene- my, and before returning they captured three more standards. A subhdahr (na- tive captain) with two Sikhs. dashed to the rescus of a wounded comrade, cut their way through the enemy and brought him safely back into the fort.
 There was similar hard fighting throughout Morday last, and until the arlEllery of Gen. Yestman-Biggs finally scattered the Afridtts. When this was done the garrison of Fork Guil.stan had been at their posts for thirty consecu. five hnnrs- Tho oosuaIaioo of the Dris i.sh forces we're two men killed and thirty-eight wounded. The women of the garrison attended The wounded under an increasing heavy fire.
 It is reported ,hht 4he .Afrid4s and Orakzais have left the Samana terri tory for their homes. Ss
 The entire British loss in the Samana operations, including tf1aI. of the garri- son of Saraghari is thirty men killed and fifty-nine wounded. The number of casualties among the officers was due to the men being entrenched while the officers moved about uncovered.
 IA small force of cavalry th.s morning pursued the trfbesmen, who attacked the punitive forces at the foot of the Rawat Pass, commanded by Gen. Jefferies, and killed twenty-one of the insurgents. The remainder of the enemy took up an in- accessible position in the hills and the cavalry was obliged to return after hay fng suffered slight loss.
