YELLOW FEVER ON A STEAMER.
A Dozen Passengers Buried at Sea
and Scores Ill

New York, July 2.-Passengers who ar
rived here tonight on the steamship ALI
anca tell a narrowing story of their ex-
perience aboard the Pacific Mail steamer
City of Para, which left Panama for San
Fancisco on May % last. 1t seems that
two days after clearing the isthmus yell
low fever broke out among the crew and
passengers of the Pacific liner, which
caused a panic on board, which resulted in
the death of the commander of the YES
sci, Capt. Martinsen. Three-fourths of the
passengers, 1t is said, were attacked by
the disease and at least a dozen of them
found watery graves When the vessel
finally reached San Francisco the facts of
the terrible voyage were suppressed and
the sickness and deaths We're attributed
to tropical dysentery. But the passengers
who came here tonight say that the
symptoms were plainly those of yellow
fever.
The disease was raging on the isthmus,
but when the passengers went on board
the City of Para they were told by the
officers that they need not have any fear.
There was no effort at fumigation, and
when Mrs. Capt. Mitchell, the wife of an
Englishman commanding one Of the YES
sells of the Chilian line, appeared on the
City of Para heavily yelled, there was no
uneasiness. Three days out she died from
the so-called tropical .dysentery." She
was buried at sea, and the next to be
taken down was Capt. Martinsen. Be
fore he died the fever had spread all over
the ship.
In the first class, cabin and steerage
alike, the yellow death dealer went and
how many were prostrated will probably
never be known. The officers suppressed
every scrap of news they could and DIR.
REM insisted on his original diagnosis.
At Punta Arenas the Echeveria family,
one of the richest in Costa Rica, took pas
sage on the City of Para, not knowing
that yellow jack was raging on board.
The vessel proceeded on its voyage. Up
the coast there were three funerals a
! day and those who were not affected were
panic stricken.
After much pleading a number of pas
sengers were put ashore at Corinto and
San Jose de Guatemala. 1t is alleged that
the officers of the vessel supplied the pas
sengers with spoiled meat and this is be-
lieved to have added to the yellow fever 8
spread
At San Salvador a band came abroad
| and while the passengers were sick and
dying the musicians gave five hour con-
| certs daily.

FLORIDA's FRACTIONAL FIGHT.
STRIPPING Gets the Hest of the First
Round.

hOunN.
Washington, July 2-Presldent McSin-
ley to-day disposed of the controversy
over the Key West collectorshlp by the
appointment Of George w. Allen of the
regular organization.
AS was stated in these dispatches there
has been a bitter struggle over the Key
West office between the regular organi-
zation. Republicans on behalf Of Mr.. AL
len and the lily whites back of j. r. Horr.
The selection Of Allen was not expected
so soon, although J. N. Stripping, who has
been leading the fight in his behalf has
been confident for some time past that
he would win his fight
The decision In the Key West case Is
supposed TO settle the question as to which
faction will be recognized by the admins
tration and there is great rejoicing among
the STRIPPING people,
The most humiliating feature of Mr..
Aliens appointment to-day is the fact that
a delegation OF leaders of the lily white
faction went to the white house to-day to
make final plea for the appointment Of
Mr.. Horr The delegation consisted 'of
u. X. Gunby, VINO wants 10 be collector
at Tampa. II. $. Chubb candidate for col
lector of internal revenue, e. p. Axtell,
district attorney. j. J. Holland, postmas-
ter at Jacksonville, Walter Robinson and
]. F. Horr. Mr. STRIPPING was also pres
ent to see that his candidates prospects
were not damaged by the 'lily white"
contingent. They we're unable to reach
the President, as 1t was cabinet day, hence
they were fighting mad when they learn
ed that Mr.. Allen had drawn the prize.
The Florida senators decline to take any
part In the fight, and the indications are
that Mr.. Allen will be confirmed.
1t remains TO be seen whether the Pres
ident proposes to give all the plums TO the
Stripping faction and ignore the lilly
whites" All OF the other state appoint
ments arc yet to be made. and the fight
will probably continue as long as there rs
a crumb of political pie in sight.

at Nashville.

Nashville, Tenn, July 2.-The National

ent, fifty of whom were from Texas.

presented should be referred to the COM
mittee without debate.
At 2:S0 o'clock the convention reassem>
bled. The regular order of business was
suspended, several honorary members
were elected and then general speech
making ruled.
The topic, How Shall the Party Get
Out of the Troubles Which the Last
Election Has Brought About?" was dis
cussed. Strong anti-fusion speeches were
made, and the middle-of- -the-road popu-
lists declared in stringent terms against
fusion.
Jesse Harper of Illinois advised con-
ciliatory course, and spoke of the coming
conference, declaring it should adjourn.
and after adjournment reorganize into a
national convention and declare for the
Omaha platform.
MIR. Metzinger of Ohio placed all the
blame for the condition of the party on
the democratic party and declared that
Messrs. Allen, Butler, Taubeneck and
Simpson were agents for that party, and
that the democratic party was preparing
to stampede the populists.
Other speakers assailed Senator Butler
vehemently, and especially were the
speakers from Texas severe in speaking
of him.
Other speakers insisted that the national
committee should be forced to yield to
the demands of the people.
Mr.. Vincent of Indiana urged that the
past had been forgotten, and the party
| keep in the middle of the road
Robert Schilling spoke, urging harmony
| and reorganization, and defended Senator
| Butler His defense stirred up the dele
| gates, and the attacks ON Senator Butler
were renewed with vigor, and several
were made on Mr.. Schiling
w. S. Morgan of Arkansas handed Mr.
Schilling a list of charges and requested
| him to answer them.
! Mr. Schilling spoke, saying he was not
| representing any one but himself, and if
Senator Butler was proven guilty of trea-
son, he would quickly take up the fight
| against him.
The committee on organization reported,
| recommending the club plan and a nom
| partisan cooperative branch, the clubs
| being the supervising bodies. Action on
| the report was deferred.
The convention then adjourned until
/ Monday.
| The trend of nearly all the speeches was
a bitter arraignment of Senator Butler.
and the bulk Of the delegates agreed with

Columbias crew pulled along violently.
losing nearly length in every quarter
mile. Pennsylvania splashed and fused
along, slowly going to the rear until the
two mile and quarter point was reached,
when Coach Warde came around in the
Ben Franklin and took the crew aboard
From that time on the race practically
lost it's interest 10 the people along the
shore. Cornells rhythmical 32-swing car
ried the boat along and at an excellent
pace, although. the shell had taken IN
some water, while Columbia, rowing at
thirty-three, with indomnitahle pluck,
struggled along 10 catch her with a pre-
cision that was exasperating. The Cor
nellins drew away from the Columbia
boat until at the bridge there was least
ten boat lengths between them. 1t was
here that the Columbia crew made a des-
perate effort to spurt, but Cornell per-
ceived It and without evidently lncreas-
ing the stroke, put a little more back and
leg work in and carried her boat an
other length and a half ahead of the white
and blue, crossing the line an easy winner.
TO the pitiable fizzle this afternoon there
was one bright side, and that was the
true American sportsman spirit displayed
by Cornell. on the referees boat, just
after Pennsylvania was swamped, Prof
Wheeler Of Cornell turned to James Bond
of Pennsylvania and said: Mr. Bond, on
behalf Of Cornell University, | desire to
say that Cornells eight will row Penn
sylvania's eight tomorrow, If you will ac-
cept the offer"
Mr. Bond replied that 1t was a very
courteous thing to do, but on behalf of
Pennsylvania. he would have to decline
to accept, and that It would be unsports-
manlike for Pennsylvania 10 allow the
Cornell crew to race for the third time in
eight days.

LOAN ASSOCIATIONS WRECKED.
KeatucLy's Usury Law Sending

Kaatucky's Usury Law Sending
Them to the Wall.
Louisville. KY, July 2.-Within p hours
four building and loan associations whose
estimated assets and liabilities each foot
up over 81, ,25O, 900, have gone to the wall in
this city, finding 1t impossible TO conduct
business under the recent decision Of the
court of appeals in regard to the legal
rate Of interest.
The Kentucky Citizens Building and
Loan Association went under this morn
ing with assets and liabilities OF $4,000
each. President Fred Hoertz said that be-
fore the constitutionality of the law un-
der which building and loan associations
operated In this state was attacked, they
were prospering, but since the appellate
court had decided that all interest charged
or collected over 6 per cent. constituted
usury, that they found IT impossible to
carry on business except at a loss. He
said that he thought all, or nearly every
such corporation In the state that did
business under the law referred to- would
go under.
AT the Offices Of all the building and loan
companies in the state the greatest un-
easiness prevails and stockholders are
hourly giving notice Of Withdrawals. 1t
is the general opinion among local finan-
ciers that the building and loan business
has suffered its death blow in Kentucky,
and thousands, perhaps millions of dollars,
will be lost to the shareholders In these
institutions.
