The New Orleans papers estimate that
the Crescent city's loss on account of
yellow fever Is 100000 week. The In.
terest on q fortnight's loss expended In
sanitation would have saved the principal.
And the sad lesson should be needed by
other critics where tho municipal authori-
ties look upon every dollar expended for
hygieplc purposes as so mach thrown
away and cut tho health budget down to
sum insufficient to do one-tenth of tho
work absolutely necessary to preserve
and protect the public health.

Mr.. Maris has done more. He has dis
charged young Renfro from the post Of
deputy collector and In his stead appointed
a gentleman named Edwards, who Is sus-
pccted and openly accused OF being gold

his camp followers In and around Browns

GERMANY CONTENT.
Not Frightened Over the Franco Russian
Alliance.

London, September a.-The Rome cor
respondent of the Daily News says:
1t is learned from a high source that
Germany's want OF alarm over the Fran
co-Russian alliance is thought to be due
to an existing understanding between
Russia, Germay France and Austria
about the Levant, which has been made
with a view to future events leading up
to changes in the Levant. and which
deals with their several portions in the
eventful division.
Germany finds satisfaction in security
from attack. She will thus be at leisure
to develop her internal resources, post
poning any dispute with grace. Efforts
are making to induce Italy TO join the
league. which it IS asserted does not
look with displeasure upon prolongation
of the present situation and that leaves
en- opening for startling complications.
If considered advantageous to the four
powers.
The settlemet of the Cretan question
will not be so quick and simple as pre-
dicted. 1t is asserted that Russia will
propose that the governor of Crete be
Turk.

THE BICYCLE IN
TIME OF WAR
REPORT or JAMES MOSS. 25Tn INFAN-
TRY. OF ITS USES.
Horses Cannot Be AbaudOued- Bikes and
Horses Nave Their rlaess in Which
Each Is Superior.

Washington, September a.-The war
department has made public the report of
James Moss 25th infantry. who COM
mandei the bicycle corps which made the
long journey from Fort Missoula, Mont.
to St Louis last summer. The document
is filed with Information of the greatest
value to bicyclists who contemplate max
ing the trips awheel. The trip was to
test the value Of the bicycle as a mill
tary adjunct AMI the conclusion Of Cap
tain Moss upon this point in his own
language is as follows:
Military bicycling in our army is in It's
very infancy, and no one but person
who has had actual experience in this
line can fully appreciate the possibilities
Of the wheel as machine for military
work. The bicycle has number Of ad-
vantages over the horse-it does not re-
quire as much care, it needs no forage,
moves much faster over fair roads. 1t
is not conspicuous and can be hidden from
view more easily; it is noiseless ami raises
but little dust. and 1t is impossible TO
determine direction from It's racks. FUR
thermore, the fighting strength of a bi-
cycle corps as an adjunct to infantry
or cavalry could render excellent service
where speed rather than number is re-
quird, such as taking possession of passes,
bridges and strong places ahead Of the
command and holding them until rein
fcrcements could be cotton from the main
body.
on the other hand. in rainy weather,
etc, the horse is superior. The very
thought of the bicycle doing away with
the cavalry is ludricous. Each has pc
culiar functions or its own-a par:icn ar
field in which, under certain conditions
the one is superior to the other. The
question which confronts us is, should
not a modern. up-to-date army have
both, that 1t might avail itself of the
advantages of one or the other as the
proper conditions present themselves"
