During the last three days over thirty
vessels have arrived from foreign ports,

in, anchored her below Black Point.
The pilot is not afraid of the fever, but
he is kicking at the luck that put him
board the Inperator and will keep him
IN quarantine for some time to come.
The lmperatOr went from Newcastle, \.
6. W., to Acapulco with load of coal.
Yellow fever was not epidemic at the lat

Central American ports ever free from the
disease there must have been more or less

up on recent steamers from ports in Qua

The bark left Acapulco for San Fran

ward one of the sailors was taken down
with the disease. Captain Gregersen feared
that it was yellow fever and did every
thing possible for the man. Soon after

The sand ballast will be impregnated with
sulphur and turned over and over until

THE DURRANT APPEAL,
His Attorneys Will Seek to Compel
Judge Bahrs to Sign the
Papers.

John II. Dickinson and Louis Board
man, of counsel for The otore Durrant,
appeared before Judge Bahrs yesterday
morning to request that he sien the bill of
exceptions perlecting the appeal 10 the
Supreme Court from the last order made
fixing day for the carrying out OF the
sentence of death.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer
said that he did not see any merit in the
request of defendants counsel, inasmuch
as the day set for the carrying out OF the
sentence had already passed.
Judge Bahrs viewed the matter in the
same light, and said that inasmuch as the
execution had been stayed by the Supreme
Court, he did not feel called upon to sign
what to him appeared to be unnecessary
apers.
After a general discussion of the law
points involved, it was finally agreed upon
that no formal order or denial be made
until tomorrow, and in the meantime
Durrant's counsel will apply to the Su-
preme Court for writ Of mandate direct
lug Judge Bahrs to sign the papers.

The Feather Weight PugiIist Dis
charged From he Receiving Hos pital.
Johnnie Griffin, the feather-weight
puglist, was sufficiently recovered from
the effects of alcoholism to be discharged
from the Receiving Hospital yesterday
afternoon.
He presents the appearance of physi-
cal wreck and it was hoped that his
friends would place him in some hospital
til he got rid of his passion for liquor and
recovered his old-,ime vigor.
Strange to say not one of them took the
trouble 10 look after him and he left the
hospital alone after thanking the octors
and stewards for their kindness TO him.

WOMEN IN POLITICS..

After giving the vote Of the lady can
didates 10 the late election in Salt Lake
City, the. Tribune says
From these figures il would seem
that . woman brings weakness to . ticket
rather than strength. The detection is
on the part of women themselves, it is
generally believed. About the same pro
portion Of lessened vote for m can
didates was observed last year. II the
proportion continues to hold-and ii
seems likely TO, except possibly in legis-
lative Positions party to carry . wo-
man to success will need to be able &c

tenth OF its entire vote or its woman

W. NJ. Stewart will expire on the Sd day
of March, 1899. The duty Of choosing

there will be at least two other csndi-

course. the gold men will have a candi-
date, for. strange as il may seem. there
are persons in this silver producing State
who favor the gold standard.
At present Senator Stewart is the only
person who has publicly announced his
candidacy for the Senatorship. though
Hon. Francis G. Newlsnds, our present
Representative in Congress, and Hon. A.
C. Cleveland, OF White Pine, who left
the Republican party when that party
declared against silver, are frequently
mentioned 10 connection with the place.
Both Mr.. Newlands and Mr.. Cleveland
have been interviewed on the subject.

papers, gave e decided answer to the
question /: "Are you . candidate for

Should Mr.. Newlsnds enter the Sens-
torisl contest there will be d opening
for somebody to succeed him in the
House Of Representatives. Among those
mentioned for the place is Hon. Thomas
Wren, one of the founders Of the Silver
party. Mr.. Wren served q term in Con
