EvADING QUARANTINEs.
Conductor Harry kerns Tells of Ex-
periences in the Infected Districts.

Conductor Harry Kerns, living at (old)
No. 1893 North Pennsylvania street was
employed in the service of the Texas &
Pacific road when the yellow fever scare
started so many Northerners home ten
days ago. His run was from New Orleans
to Boyce 211 miles up in the cane coun-
try. When fears were entertained of an
epidemic the superintendent of the road
called Mr.. Kerns into his Office and advised
him to go North for a few weeks until
the danger was past. Nothing but frost
can stop the ravages of the plague, once
it gets a good foothold. Mr.. Kerns says
that Southerners do not appear much
alarmed, as they regard the disease as fa-
tai only 10 those who are not acclimated.
So unconcerned were they at New Orleans
that the theaters had not been ordered
closed when he started home last Monday
night and he says they were always crowd
ed. 1t was thought advisable, however. to
close the schools, and many of the men
sent their wives and children away from
the city, although they remained them
selves.
While there is not much public alarm,
according to Mr.. Kerns, every preeaution
is being taken to prevent the spread of
the dread disease and many towns and
cities have established quarantine reEula-
tions against visitors from the infected dis
tricts. Mr. Kerns could receive no assur-

THE WHITE PASS.
Sylvester ScOveI Tells How 1t Was
Made PaAsabIe.


SEATTLE, Wash, Sept, 19.-Sylvestes
Scovel. the correspondent, who is organiz-
ing the necessary tools and dynamite to
put the Skaguay trail in passable condition
at considerable expense, enabling many to
get through to the gold fields this fall, is
now III the city, having arrived on tha
Resale on q flying trip to communicate
with his employers. Mr. Scovel brings the
news, which will come with comforting as
surance to thousands of people who have
friends on the pass that at least 1000 men
with complete outfits win get through to
the Yukon river, though he believes that
only small fraction of this number Will
reach Dawson City before winter.
From the best information which he could
obtain, gathered from all sources, he be-
lieves thet 2.500 men have got over the Chill
cat pass and have gone on down to tha
mines. These men have, however, with
few exceptions, gone through with little or
no supplies, the average amount taken BY
each man being not over 500 or coo pounds.
not more than enough to get him to tha
scene of the great gold fields where provi-
sions are not to be had.
when you ask me what condition the
White trail is in said Mr. Scovel, II tell
you the White pass has not been used by
the thousands of men who have been climb.
ing over the mountains from Skaguay TO
the lakes. Instead Of using the pass the
men have scrambled up along the sides OF
the mountains $50 feet above the pass. The
reason they have done this is that the
pass itself Is full of powders. even in its
present shape being impossible. The Canad-
ian builders had no money for dynamite
To get away from these powders the min
ers have, throughout the entire length OF
the pass, gone up above the bowldeys on
the side of the hill and made their trail.
The mountains are steep and the trail in
its present location can never be made into
good one.
river bank where there is an easy grade
though, OF course. greatly ObStructed with
powders and IN places blocked by prec!pit-
those have gone off 70 the side in their
great rush TO get through in a hurry. The
trail crosses and recr0SseS the river and
makes long detours which would be unnec-
essary by the use of a little dynamite. The
sum Of 5000 would make nne pack trail
to Lake Bennett. Not more than $1,000
would be required to build a good wagon
road the entire distance.
"A man with two horses and an outfit
weighing two thousand pounds could. by
this improved trail bring his outfit through
the pass and the expenditure OF less than
eighteen days time. The possibility or maxi
ing this tran q good one has been told ma
by four different engineers OF high standing,
sent up into that country by different rail-
way companies whose names / an not at
liberty TO state 4 railroad could be bnilt
on the same route. but of course, what is
wanted is an immediate inlet for the peo-
pie there. The trail that can be packed
over with horses Is absolutely needed, for
men are not going to pack on their backa

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. 19-Nearly 5000
laboring men, the majority miners and
mine laborers, attended a mass meeting to-
day, called by the Central Labor Union. to
protest against the Lattimer killing. The
gathering was quiet and orderly Among
the eight speakers We're Hugh O'Donneli.
the Homestead labor leader, and George
Chance, of Philadelphia, of the United La
Dor League. They denounced the Lattimer
shooting as %anton murder, a brutal out
rage and massacre, but suggested law as
the present remedy and organization as
the safeguard of the future. The company
store system, the importation Of cheap for
eign labor and the encOura cement of race
prejudices We're given as the main causes
of the recent outbreak. Resolutions of con-
siderable length, blaming Sheriff Martin
and his posse and criticising General Goblin
for alleged unwarranted interference with
civil law were adopted

disease, but not rapid increase, and all
the cases are in one infected district save

in the Marine Hospital. All the cases,
with one or two exceptions, are doing
well'
all traffic being suspended and the streets
being even deserted by the usual throngs
of worshipers. Not only have many people
gone away, but those remaining think it
prudent to avoid gatherings Of all sorts.
The Bay Side Park closed its. season prem
aturely yesterday and Sunday street-car
travel in that direction, which is generally
very large, was entirely lacking. There was
small shower about o'clock to-day, ac-
companied by cool wind that was most
refreshing after the intense sultriness of
the past two weeks.

Action OF a CarIist May Cause "a Cab
met Crisis in Spain.


met Crisis in Spain.
MADRID, Sept. 19.-Fears are expressed in
well-nformed circles that Cabinet crisis
may result from the contumacy of the
bishop Of Majorca, Balearic islands, who
in defiance of the order of the archbishop
has persisted in his communication of
Signor J. Reverter, the Spanish minister of
finance, for taking possession of the church
in his diocese. The decree of excommunica-
ton was read with all formality to-day in
all the churches of the diocese. Several in
fiuential prelates approve the course of the
bishop. Their attitude, which is absolutely
opposed to that of all the members of the
Cabinet who have applied to the Pope
against the decree through the papal nuncio
has raised d complicated issue between the
ecclesiastical and political authorities The
Cabinet relies the dictum of the nuncio
that the bishop has no jurisdiction over the
minister and on his further assurance that
the Pope will undoubtedly censure the
bishop. The notorious sympathes of the
bishop with the Carlist movement also ag-
graVate the situation.
The ministerial organs assert that the
Spanish foreign minister, the Duke of Tet-
uan, will soon be gazetted as Spanish en-
baSSadOr to France.

SEVERE EARTHQUAKES.
Monuments of Antiquity Damaged in
Historic Turkestan

TASHKAENT, Asiatic Russia, Sept. 49,
A severe earthquake shock occurred here
last night and the disturbance was felt
throughout the whole of Turkestan Sew
eral monuments of antiquity were damaged
here and at Samarkand and Ura-Tiube
The region of the Turkestan earthquake
is filled with monuments of antiquity
Samarkand is regarded with great venera-
ton by the inhabitants of central Asia The
city possesses the tomb of "the Lame I'll
mur" (vulgarized in Tamerlane) the re-
nowned Oriental conqueror, who was born
in 1886 at kesh, the green city," about fifty
miles south of Samarkand. Under this cele-
brated warrior and administrator, who car
ried his victorious army on one side from
the Volga and the Irish to the Persian
gulf and on the other from the Ganges to
the Hellespont, it became the capital of
one of the largest empires ever known and
the center of Asiatic learning and COM
merce. It's beauties were lauded by the
poets Of Asia. At the height of the city's
prosperity it contained no fewer than forty
colleges, of which only three remain per-
feet. But it still has though in a state OF
decay, many of the edifces associated with
its former glory.
