AN APPEAL FOE HELP.
Shut in Ocean Springs Asks for Money and
 Provisions


 New Orleans, Sept. 10.-An official has just returned from the block in which the twelve suspicious cases were reported last night, and declares that none Of the patients has died. A man living in the same block, John Will Hams, a bailiff, died this morning of congestion produced by alcoholism, and this gave rise to the early report that one of the patients suffering with fe- yer had expired. Of the twelve cases two are considered to be very sick. Board of health officers state that they are yet unable to say what is the fever in this neighborhood. In the mean time no precaution is overlooked to confine the disease.
 Ocean Springs, Miss, has issued an appeal for help, and any contribution of money or provisions will be thank fully received and acknowledged. There are twenty-eight families in dis tress, and the citizens of the stricken town have already been taxed beyond their resources. Everything in the way of relief, Mayor Grayson of Ocean Springs suggests, should be sent to President B. A. VanCleave of the board of health.
 Steward Thurston of the marine hos pital service arrived there this morning and immediately reported to Surgeon His duties will be the hiring of hands, making of contracts, pur- supplies, medicines, etc., in con oection with the detention camp to be esta ablished near that place.

WI1L rRoBABLY ACCEPT 65 CENTS.
The National Miners' Convention Will
 Vote On It To-day.


 Columbus, O., Sept. 10,-The national miners convention adjourned this eve ming until Saturday morning, when the question of the settlement of the strike will finally be determined, At the time of adjourning substitute resolution which the miners officials confidently believe will be adopted was under discussion. Two previous reso- lutions providing for an acceptance of the Pittsburg operators propositions were defeated because the Illinois, h. diana and West Virginia miners did not think their interests were sufficiently protected. The substitute resolution to be voted upon Saturday Is as follows:
 Resolved, That we endorse and rec ommend to the national executive board that work be resumed on the basis of sixty-five cents in western Pennsylvania.
 Resolved. That when such advance is refused the suspension be continued and that an assessment of 10 per cent. of all the money earned by the miners at work be collected and used for the purpose of maintaining the miners side until such time as the scale rates can be obtained for them and be it fur ther
 Resolved, That a circular appeal be issued by the national executive board to organized labor and to the public generally asking them to assist us in the caring for and keeping of all mine workers in the field who are idle for the enforcement of scale rates; all moneys and provisions to be sent to Secretary Pearce and distributed pro rata to miners on strike, from the na- tional office.

 He was met at the depot by his legal

 sheriff's detailed statement is as fol- l lows:

 strikers were going to march to the breaker at Latimer and compel the men there to quit work. I resolved to inter- cept them and, if possible, prevent thena from reaching the breaker. One of nv deputies told me that the strikers would probably be heavily armed. I got my deputies, seventy in number. to meet at certain place.

THE GRAPHIC desires to say that the new chancery district for this county is utterly useless, and will simply entail additional expense upon the people. We do not believe that the measure is favored even by a majority of the Jefferson County Bar The bill was indorsed at meeting of the Bar Association by small majority, and even that meeting did not express the senti ments of all the members The fact of the business is that if all the lawyers and judges, Circuit and Chancery, would work more, and loaf less, the Jefferson county docket would not be so crowded with work that remains undone. 1t is fact notorious that litigation has grown steadily less in this county for the past three years, and in view of this fact, together with the fact that we have both . Circuit and Chancery court, we can sec no reason what ever for a change in our present court system The Jefferson Coun- ty Bar was never satisfied until this county was put into Chaneery district, and now that they have it, they are still discontented. Gan t the lawyers never be satisfied? Are not the expenses of the courts enough already, without adding the name of another Judge on the pay roll of the State at Q cost of $2, 300 8 year.

TIE notion that King Oscar, of Sweden and Norway would be nn- duly prejudieed in favor of England and against the United States in arbitration proceedings is altogether a delusion, says the Repi ,o of Re cietos for March He is a man eminently Of the judicial temper ament. Moreover, the Seandanav- ian Peninsula is in the strongest sort of sympathy with the people Of the United States. King Oscar is himself 8 ruler of Democratic spirit, and the Swedes and Norwegians are selfgoyerning peoples. If there should ever be a war between the United States and England, many thousands of the sons of Sweden and Norway, who are now citizens of this country, would take part in the strife. A very large share of the best blood of the Scandinavian Peninsula has been transferred to our Northwestern States. Owing to this fact, the Scandanavians maintain more intimate relation ship with the people of the United States than with any European nation-iust as the relationship of the people of Ireland, for the same reason, is more intimate and cordial with America than with England. Furthermore, Russia is in inter national matters the constant friend of the United States; and it is very much more important for King Oscar to maintain harmonious re- lations with his powerful neighbGf on the East than with England It is therefore totally fallacious to suppose that Oscar, even if not naturally disposed to be fairminded, would be biased in favor of England and secretly anxious to further British interests as against those of the United States. It seems to us nothing could have been better evidence of England's perfect frank ness and good faith in signing this arbitration treaty than her consent to have King Oscar named as the umpire under specified contingent cies,

TIE Washington correspondent of ,the Glode-Dcmocrdt telegraphs that paper that the deficit under the Wilson tariff bill is $130, 000, 900 as the result of thirty months of its operation. But he fails to tell the people that the revenue derived under the Wilson bill is greater than that derived for the same period under the Mckinley bill. The cause of the deficit in the National Treas -y-is due to extravagant Congress sional appropriations and the loss to the Governments as a consequence of the decision of the Supreme Court inknocking out the Income Tax.

The Objection to Having tho Inaugural

The Objection to Having tho Inaugural
 Ball In the Library Building.
 An all absorbing controversy has arisen in Washington over the question of whether the new library building shall be used for the inaugural ball, and it may be necessary for Chairman Han na to return here and issue definite and peremptory orders for the carrying out of his determination that the ball take place i'll the great rotunda of this beau tiful building,
 The objection now raised is that van- dalism will run riot ill the elaborately decorated halls, and tho local papers are devoting several columns day in dis cussing the question of whether or not tho American people will endeavor to carry away the library building piece meal. It is fact that the most watch ful vigilance is necessary on the part of the policemen in all the government buildings to keep them from being hacked to pieces by relic hunters, and as an inauguration crowd is the worst of it's kind, perhaps the fear of those who take pride in preserving the public build ings from destruction is justifiable.
 It is only year ago that pastor of an intelligent congregation in large sized town, while sightseeing in Wash ington, was arraigned in the police court for having deliberately hacked q piece off the Washington monument with hatchet. He was fined for the offense, after having said that he was samntea into the deed by his bride.
