Up to the time of this writing, the
yellow fever outbreak in cities near
the Gulf of Mexico has been less dis
astrous than on any other occasion or
the coming of hat plague. The death
rate has been low, and in the larger
cities there has been no panic. 1t
would be interesting to know how far
this mitigation of horrors is the result
of the sensible course pursued by the
authorities and the newspapers APP
parently the precise facts have been
given out each day, with such COM
ments as the situation warrsntel. and
the people have calmly and heroically
faced the danger whereof they knew.
Secrecy might have caused universal
panic; and the panic is n Of the most
nourishing conditions of the plague.

growing superiority to the American
man Apparently restlessness, in her
view. in an affection; but the cure of
it, through some process looking to in
fariority, is not TO be thought of for
a moment. The man must do his
share. He must make it the chief OBJ
ject of his life TO grow up to her SUI
~periority, and it is melancholy to re-
aect that on the whole he can't do it.

RIVER AT YANkTON.
The Governments Work There is
Beginning TO Tell.

Beginning 10 Tell.
Yankton. S. D.-The work upon the
Missouri river channel at this city is
beginning to tell. The channel is be-
ing driven from the Nebraska to the
Dakota shore. which, when completed,
will give it the position ii held Tor
years prior to the flood of 1881 when
the bulk of traffic for Iankton ana
points up river Was by river. TO ac-
complish forcing the channel heavy
willow mattresses are sunk from the
Nebraska shore outward into the
channel, in parallel lines, with their
channel ends further up the stream
than the shore ends. These mat
tresses are weighted with stone and
finally anchored ia place by piles
driven through them and far n the
river bottom. 1t is probable the work
will be completed in the spring, as an
early winter is anticipated.

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
What is Said in Regard to the I'm
migration Trouble.

What Is Said in Regard to the Inn
migration Trouble.
The Japanese legation has received tele-
graphic advices from which it appears
that out of 66s Japanese passengers
taken to Honolulu by the steamer Shin
shin-Maru, 302 voluntary passengers and
146 contract laborers were sent back to
Japan. The Hawaiian authorities refused
to allow these people to land, on the ground
that the voluntary passengers were not
possessed of $50 in gold each, as provided
in the landing law, and because the con-
tract laborers had not complied with the
provisions Of the landing law in securing
previous approval of their contracts The
passengers, therefore, petitioned the su-
preme court to set aside the decision of
the collector general of customs forbidding
them to land, but the court rejected the
petition on the ground that the decision of
the collector general regarding the land
ing of aliens was final. and that Japanest,
not yet landed In the Islands had no right
to petition. -s-i1
The Japanese consul general protested
against this action on the ground that the
exclusion of the voluntary enigrants was
in violation of treaty rights. whatever
might be the case regarding the laborers
and their alleged failure TO secure previous
approval of their contracts. He himself
had personally examined into the facts re-
garding the voluntary emigrants, and had
session of the amount of money required
by law in such cases. So far as they at
least were concerned, the decision of the
collector general appeared to be in viola
tion both of the law and of the facts.
While 1t is true that one, not two, Japan
ese men-of-war as stated in press dis
patches. has been sent to Hawaii, Off
cials of the Japanese legation state most
positively that this action has not been
taken for the purpose of menacing the
Hawaiian government, but simply to pre-
serve order among the Japanese resident in
the islands, who might possibly become
excited by what they regarded as a VIOLA
ton of the rights of their countrymen.
The Japanese government believes the diff
f1culty is susceptible .of settlement by
diplomatic negotiations, and 1t is asserted
at the legation that that will be the only,
method resorted to- Inasmuch as the Ha-
waiian government would only be liable
for indemnity to the persons sent btsck for
losses incurred by them, the question s.
not regarded as one liable to provoke seri-
Gus international complications. At the
legation the statement that the Japanese
companies are attempting to colonize Ha-
wall Is denounced as fragrant and absok
lutely tinwarrahted falsehood.

Harcourt, the liberal leader. charged the
government with shrinking from a definite
vote on the employment of the British
forces in Crete. He said that the govern

constitutional doctrine that it belonged to
the government to draw up the opposition's s
resolutions. This was an fntoleraple piece
of tyranny. The government did not v ant
definite resolution. but an indefinite ore,
a vote of confidence.
Referring to the European conee-t, he
said that the opposition desired Great Brit

instrument of none. Personally, be did
not believe in being drawn into what Lord
Salisbury called the federal legislature. III
the European concert had had any COM

have been settled long ago, upon the only
proper basis. namely, the annexation of

Arrest of q Pittsburg Banker ON q
Grave Charge.
A colossal attempt at insurance swind-
ling was unearthed at Pittsburg yesterday
when C. Linwood Woods of e. L. Woods
& Co., bankers. was arrested in his Office
in the Park building. The information was
made by c. F. Harper, chief of the revision
department of the Mutual Reserve Fund
Life Association of New York, charging
Woods with procuring policies with intent
to defraud When Woods was confronted
by the arresting officer he fell in a faint
On recovery he acknowledged that he
was "treed," and was committed to Jail In
5000 bail. Later he made a written con-
fession, In which he gives the details of his
scheme. He says that with former agent
of the Mutual Reserve he entered into
conspiracy to defraud. His method Of pro-
cedure was to insert advertisements In the
local papers for old men to act as coilec-
tors. He would ask the applicants for
bond, but kindly waived the bond If the ap-
plicant would sign an application for in
surance on his life. This was generally Sc
cured, and then Woods would get some
irresponsible man to sign a promissory
filled out with amounts ranging from
10000 to $4,000. so that consideration for
the insurance policy at death could be
claimed to be the debt established by the
note.
It is not known as yet how the appli-
cants passed the medical examination.
In Woods desk were found sixty-five pol
icies, with himself as beneficiary, agere-
eating $200,000. Some of the policies were
issued by the Provident Savings Company
Of New York. the Fidelity of Philadelphia
and the Mutual Reserve Fund of New
York. In the latter there We're policies
amounting to $150.000, the other 10000
being m the first two named Woods had
policies on the lives of his brother and sis
ter and his flance. The other policies were
all for men over fifty years OF age, and
Woods stood to realize a-geodly sum in the
near future. Fortunately for the compa-
nies the many policies with Woods as benz
eficiary aroused suspicion. and the arrest
was made before any losses were paid.
