The Fever Situation in the South.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 25.-The

one death this morning. Cool weather
is dangerous in the cases of those who

proximates 16 per cent. The Beaure-
gard school is being gotten into shape

The Sealing Conference.

LONDON, Sept. 25.-A decided sensa-
ton has been caused in diplomatic cir.
cles here by Great Britain's notification
to the United States that she cannot
participate in the sealing conference at
Washington if Russia and Japan take
part in it. The officials of the British
Foreign Office decline 10 give the rea-
sons for this change OF policy, hut they
admitted that the Marquis of Salisbury
had notified the U. S. Ambassador, Col.
John Hay, of his decision in this mat.
ter, though the premier's decision is not
absolute.
1t is known that the Canadian gov
eminent requested the withdrawal of
Great Britain from the conference and
the government unwillingly acceded to
this request. 1t is thought in diplo-
matte circles that Canada's action wss
influenced by the fear that Great Bri.
tain would be outvoted by the United
States, Russia and Japan, whose views
regarding the protection of seals COIN
eide.
Great Britain has not notified Russia or
Japan of her intention not to take part
in the conference and her notice to the
United States was sent too late for the
other three governments to change
their arrangements.

WEDDERRURN 4 Co. DEBARRED.-
Assistant commissioner of Patents, Mr.
A. G. Greeley, has finished his decision
in the proceedings against John We'd
derburn & Co. for disbarment. Com
missioner Butterworth has approved it.
and will announce it in few days.
The decision, as was expected, Is
against Mr.. Wedderburn. Mr.. Greeley
says he is forced to find that the charges
of unprofessional conduct in praclcing
before the Patent Office have been sus-
taided aud must recommend the firm
for disbarment. Continuing, the charges
alleged that Wedderburn & Co. were
guilty of unprofessional practice before
the Office, and that they had not ex-
hibited that sincerity which should a.
ways exist between citizens aud their
attorneys. Furthermore, it was chsrg.
ed that in many cases Wedderburn *
Co., after having patent refused them
by the examiners, induced their clients
to appeal from the decision, necesstat-
ing che expenditure Of more money 10
attorney foes, when there was not the
slightest chance of securing reversal
of the original decision. Finally it
was alleged that the attorneys had
failed to return money received from
their clients, when they were clearly
entitled to it.

Cora Kaseman, aged Is years. were
found in Smink's blacksmith shop this
morning. May had shot his sweetheart
and then blew out his own brains. The
couple had been lovers for some time,
but the parents OF the young woman
objected to their marriage and the cou
pie evidently made up their minds to
end their troubles by dying together.
The girl left her home early this morn
ing and went direct to tho blacksmith
shop where May was in waiting. The
bodies were found lying side by side
and Mays right hand still grasped an
old fashioned revolver. He had blown
the girls brains out and then sent a
bullet crashing into his own head.

THE WASHINGTON Star says 1t Ia
probable that Senator Daniel will be
reelected, but that two years hence
if Major Tyler, who will then be gov
ernor, is eligible, Senator Martin may
find him formidable rival, or words to
that effect. AS nobody will oppose
Senator Daniel, the element of proba-
bility does not enter into his reelection,
and there will be nothing except death
and his own feelings to prevent Major
Tyler, who will be rs eligible when
governor as he is now, when he is not,
from being a candidate for the Senate
two years hence; but it isn't at all like
" that his wishes will incline him to
opdose Senator Martin, who has assisted
him materially in securing the govern
orship. 1t is General Fitzhugh Lee or
Representative Jones, but not Major
Tyler, who may be Senator Martins
formidable" rival. But what Wash
ington newspapers don't know about
Virginia would fill the new Congress

The Luetgert Trial.

CHICAGO. SPIT. 20. unexpectedly
no re..r - ls made by the court to
tie ms..cr he yesterday took under
.a y,sement. This was whether the
defense will be allowed to produce wit
nesses to show that Mrs. Luetgert
threatened to leave her home six
months prior to the date of her disap-
pearance. a rule on this point is e1-
pected on Monday. The first witness
called this morning was Mary STEINER
ing, Luetgert's servant girl, for love OF
whom it is alleged he killed MS wife.
She related what she said was the
whole truth about her experience with
the Luetgert family. She said she had
lived with the Luetgerts seven or eight
wears as domestic. During all that
time Luetgert had treated his wife
kindly and there was none Of the quar-
relng or pickering the prosecution
charged.
Coming down to May l, the date OF
Mrs. Luetgert's disappearance, the wit
ness said that on the afternoon of that
day Mrs. Luetgert said to her: "Mary,
1 am going to leave. My husbands
money is all gone and l am going too"
At 7 o'clock Saturday May 1, the
witness said that Mrs. Luetgert took
from closet a cloak and looking at it
remarked with considerable Impotence
that moths had eaten the cloth. The
witness said she went to her room and
to bed shortly after o'clock last night.
The following morning Mrs. Luetgert
was missing and the little bank of one
of the children was broken open and
the small sum of money it had contain
ed was gone. The witaess said that
Mrs. Luetgert had acted queerly for
some time prior to May and had o.
ten whipped her children, The wit
ness with a show of spirit denied that
she ever visited Luetgert in his factory
except in the evening occasionally
when others were present.
The rapidity of tie States Attorneys ques'
tions seemed to stun. the witness. She soon
| became confused and made damaging admis.
I sions. The witness admitted that Luetgart
and his wife quarreled occasionally but she
| persisted in her denial that she had in any
way been guilty of improper conduct with
Luetgart

VELAsoUEz KILLS HIMSELF.
Eduardo Velasquez, the late inspector
general of police of the City of Mexico,
committed suicide in Belem Jail yester-
day by shooting himself. Since his
committal to jail, last Saturday after
noon, Velasquez has been confined in
the private apartments of Warden Cam
pusano. The latter placed him there
because he heard that the prisoners in
the Jail might attempt violence if the
disgraced chief were placed among
hem. Since last Tuesday, when Vel
asquez confessed that he had directed
the murder of Arroyo, President Diaz's
assailant, Judge Flores, of the fifth
criminal court, had been pressing the
investigation very diligently.
When the Jail attendants went to
Velasquez's room yesterday afternoon
he was found dead on the bed. Close by
lay small revolver with one car
fridge exploded and the other still in
the chamber. From the condition of
the body the prisoner must have shot
himself six to to eight hours before. If
any message was left by the suicide it
is in the custody of the court.
How the suicide secured the weapon
has not yet been learned. The pistol
is of the kind that is carried by the
leading police authorities. An inquiry
is being made to establish how and
when the shooting occurred, and by
what manner or means closely guard
ed prisoner like Velasquez, over whom
special surveillance was presumed to
have been ordered, could have obtain
ed weapon and killed himself in the
very bedroom of the the warden,
within the deep walls of the Jail, with
out hint of the suicide reaching the
authorities until hours after.
Col. Csmpusauo, the governor of the
prison, has been placed under arrest on
suspicion of completely in this latest
crime.

Emperor discussed the interference"
of the United States in the affairs OF

Germany and Austria will do all in
their power to prevent the situatian
becoming embittered, although un-
willing to interpose too directly. Sim
liar views are said to have been ex-
changed between France and Russia;
so, if the occasion arises, the European
powers will find themselves in agree
