from London.
Today's engagement Of sl.5Oo.oC0 in Paris

London could easily be able to shift the
demand for gold from tie United States
upon Paris.
London viewed with great equanimity
the increasing demand upon It's gold re-

on expanding its loans in the face OF
the tremendous drain upon its gold, and
no change was made on Thursday in its
rate OF discount The open market dis

in response to the gold shipments.

London, Oct. 13.-J. BengIat Stanford,

turned from the fight He told me chat
the AbysSinian forces had been going
down Webbe Shebyle river, nearly as far
as the 18th parallel The SoVneES then
overwhelmed tfrsln with large numbers,
allowing So men TO so back with the news
of the defeat. Ras MackofGlen was killed
during the battle.
THE affair occurred about 100 miles
above where we We're Thu whole neigh
borhood is still greatly excited and d1e
possession of SO many Italian rifles by the
Sonlelis is evidence that the story told
OF the Abyssiuian defeat is true.
The latest news from HdTTdr was that
am AbyssiElian army was being dispatched
against the So1nalis. who were eagerly
anticipating another fight"
In regard 10 the reported massacre of
the CaNelrdish expedition, Mr.. Stamford

Lake Rudolph: Major Macdonald is ON

YELLOW JACK IS ECCENTRIC
YESTERDAY WAS A RECORD
SMASHER IN ORLEANS.
Whether This Is the Result of Cir
cumstance, or Malignity of Disease
Doctors Unable to Tell.

New Orleans. Oct. 13.-This was the
record smasher in the number Of deaths
in a single day from yellow fever since
the sickness was first reported in New
Orleans. 1t is difficult to find the
cause, except in the fact that conceal
ment. neglect and rebellion against the
authority of the board of health have
made it difficult for the doctors to
give proper attention to cases. At Z
o'clock this evening there had been
nine fatalities reported during the "a
hours. Heretofore the highest number
of deaths in any one day has been six.
At the board of health there was some
discussion among the gathered phyl-
clans as to whether the disease had
assumed suddenly a more virulent form
or whether an aggregation of circum-
stances had sent up the list of deaths.
Prominent doctors say they do not be

lignant in type. They believe that the
fact that on some days there has been
four or five deaths, on succeeding days
no deaths, and then four or five again,
goes to prove that the fever has been
as eccentric before as it is now.
Today's official report shows 81 new
cases

New Orleans, Oct. 1S.-The new Tu-

and received much punishment. Each
was fairly clever.
Fifteen rounds were fought but before
the end of that time both of the fight
ers were in an apparent state of ex-
haustion and physicians and others
had made efforts prior to the 18th round
to bring the battle TO a close.
In the 18th round Griffin hit Cum
mings a hard punch, and the latter
sand to the floor. not from the effects
