ALL TEXAS STIRRED.
Shot Gun Quarantine Against Houston and the
 Entire World.

Dallas. Tex. Sept 2S.IThe yellow fe- yer fright has struck the state in earn cit. Nearly all the boIwns in eastern, central and southern Texas have de- cDared shotgun quananItne agairst Houston In Brazos courity, County Health Officer Tabor has given orders So the effect Gllalt every road catering the county win be closely guarded and every suspicious runner run down.. No passenger trains VIII stop in the county hereafter. and there will for the prCserlt be no papers or o,her mail received Practical jokers are warned against try ing flo scare the people. The railr.ad company has been notified to pryl in all perfsfiable goods, flour and ice at once from the nIoiith In car lots, the same net to come from New Orleans or through any inflicted point.
 LAlt Dallas no passenger trains from Houston win be permitted to stop, all though there has been no embargo on freight and mail as yet. The Houston and Texas Centl'al has prIactlcaSly aban-
  doned its train sesvice out of Houston, only ore train a day running. The M S. souri. Kansas and Texas railroad is running trains through Houston to Call vesston, all the cars being locked through Houston, and nobody permitted to enter or leave the tis.n.
 Galveston's quarantine against Hous- ton Is absoluts. Nothing but telegrams are permitted to pass between the two places. Freight, however, can go through Houston, but must not be stopped there. All towns along the Southern Pacific railroad, east and west of Houston and on the Houston and Texas Central rail- road have established shot gun quar- antine.
 Navasiota, in Grimes county, is corn- pletely cooped up. There has been no mail since Wednesday and no prospects of any soon. Guards are stationed on all the roads and psrsons not known 10 the guards, whether they have health certificates or not, are furnigated. There
 
 have been forced to suspend busines ss be- cause they have no paper. Business is dead and no person is permitted to leave the county.
 Beaumont has qnarantIned against Houston.
 Washington county has laid an em- bargo on the whole world.
 Robertson and Wharton counties have done the same.
 Henderson county has established quarantine against all infected towns. Several coach loads of refugees from Houston went through Dallas county, but were not allowed to stop. They said tfere was great excitement in Nous ton when they left. Many of them were going to points in the mountains and the far northwest.

from information at hand that thes cost of steel floating docks and g timber craving deck of equal capacities would be nearly equal, but that the time of construction of about seven to twelve. The con crete dock, under the same conditions as the timber dock would cost from 50 to.75 per cent. more and the time Of construction would be 50 per cent. great CT. In th5 opinion of the board the est of a granite dock would ba about double that of a concrete dock. For all the docks depth of thirty foot over the sill Is suggested as being in all probability the maximum draught of amy vessel, even the out-of-trim condition produced by collisions, accident or exploeicnA In. conclusion the board expresses the con- vfction that all government docks should be of a permanent character and talsir readiness for use at all times assured at any cost.
 Respecting the recommendations of the board for another dock at Mare Island it is known to be the intention of the navy department to reject the propos.- ton unless it can be assured that more battleships are to be built on the Pa- cific coast. At present there is only one such vessel, the Oregon, in the Pacific, and, while the navy department feels keenly the needs of more ships of this formidable style of craft. it is nlot deem- ed economic policy to build another dock in addition to the one on Puget Sound for one ship.
 The report gives careful reasoning to support all its recommendations and the advantages and drawbacks of our de- fences on the Atlantic and Pacific coaets are seta forth in detail.
 The beard, it is said, wi1 be kept to- gether for mcre work in the same line Captain Chadwick is going to Europe as soon as he is relieved and his place on the boand will be taken by Civil Eng.- neer G. A. Menoca. The board then un- der the instructions of Acting Secretary Roosevelt will proceed at once to examine the conditions of the existing timber docks of the navy and will also look in- to the condition of the timber dock at it by adding an entrance of concrete.
