TIME TO QUARANTINE.
EPIDEMIC DISEASES ARE SPREAD
ING ALL OVER MEXICO.
Scarlet and Typhoid Fevers, Predicted as
Forerunners of Yellow Fever,
Raging in Vera Cruz.

Denver, March ia special to the
News from the City of Mexico, says:
The republic of Mexico seems to be
having an epidemic Of epidemics.
There have already been reports
which are carrying off hundreds of
people in various parts of the country,
and now come reports from two more
places which are spreading alarm.
At Jalapa in the state of Vera Cruz,
an epidemic of scarlet fever is raging
to such an extent that the people are
fleeing for safety, while in the same
vicinity an epidemic of typhoid fever,
which has much resemblance to vel
low fever, has broken out in its most
virulent form.
Reports from several gulf coast cit
les say a similar disease prevails and
the physicians predict an epidemic of
yellow fever, as they say this is al
ways a fOrerunner of that disease.
The other epidemics are progressing
undated and those cities that are I'M
affected are binding their energies to
preserve sanitary conditions.

Fighting Gossip.

Carson, New, March 13.-The i'm
proved condition of the roads which
now for the most time, are affording
travelling, gave FitZsimmons an OPP
portunity today to use his wheel. He
improved to the utmost the chance
given him by the weather and early
in the morning took a spin of about
five miles on his wheel. After return
ing to the ranch he started out on the
road second time, this time for a
run on foot, being accompanied by
Hickey. He took short run of about
six miles and returned in time to be-
gin punching the bag about IL o'clock.
For half an hour he batted the leath-
cr sphere back and forth with energy.
He then called out Hickey and Stel-
ner to meet him with the gloves. He
spared four rounds with each, paying
particular attention to his style of
fighting. which will be allowed in the
ring under the Interpretation of the
QueensbuTy rules, made by Siler and
to which Julian has agreed.
In the afternoon Fitz took another
short run on his wheel and wreStled a
little with ROeber.

GREECE CONDEMNED.
PAPERS SAY SHE Is NOT FITTED
TO PAOIFY CRETE.
Grecian Soldiers Murder Men, Women and
Children and Amuse Themselves by
Watching Their Agonies.

New York March ia dispatch to
the Herald from st. Petersburg, says:
The Petersburg Zeitung. asks
whether King George can really be in
earnest in talking of Greece's mission
being humanity, faith and freedom,
when his representatives in Crete have
massacred at least 400 Mussulmans
in Sitia alone.
1t says that they have murdered 80
women and 40 children, afterwards
amusing themselves by cutting off the
ears and noses of little girls and
wounding women and children, ac-
cording to the latest dispatches.
With weapons the Christians in
Crete are unfortunately neither better
nor more cultivated than the Moham-
medans. If such brutal advent can
take place while the Greek troops re-
main, they are not fitted, the paper
asserts, for the task of pacification.
Vienna, Austria, March 13.-The
Russian government has despatched a
note to the Six Powers proposing
that each of them send Immediately
1000 troops to Crete in order to eff
fectually occupy the island and compel
the Greek troops to withdraw. The
Powers are considering the proposal.

Notified That a Raid On His Box
Office is Contemplated.
Carson, New, March 13.-Dan Stu
art has received a letter which has
created amusement. 1t was evidently
from a crank, at least that is what
Stuart considered him. The letter
was dated Pasadena, Cal, the writer
stating that he was in San Francisco
about two weeks ago, and while in a
resort of Bad Men," he overheard
two of them talking about plan to
raid the box Office at Carson. He
wanted to warn Stuart in order that
he might be on the lookout. Stuart
referred to the letter while
talking with Sheriff Kinney this af-
ternOOn and said short work would
be made of any men who attempted
to raid his Office. Yes" said the sher-
iff, 81 would like to see them get out
of Carson. The town is in a short
valley surrounded by mountains and
with deputy sheriffs at each end of
the main street, the only methods of
escape would be over the snow cover
ed peaks ahead, which escaping crimi-
nails would hesitate to take for fear
of death or starvation"

CROOKEDNESS EVIDENT.

Lincoln, Neb., March ia conflict
is on between the Legislative and eX-
Legislative branches of the state gov
eminent on one side and the judiciary
on the other side. 1t grows out of eff
forts of the Republicans to stop the
recount of ballots, cast at the last cleo
ton. by which the POpulists hope to
seat two additional members
of the State Senate.
The bill providing for recount was
passed and the count is well under
way. The Republicans secured a re-
straining order from the District
court. of Lancaster county yesterday
to hold the matter back. This order
is being combatted. Attorney General
Smythe moved its dissolution today. If
it is not dissolved the count will pro-
coed at any hazard, injunction or no
injunction.

In Alaska.

In Alaska.
Tacoma, Wash, March 13.-The first
beafsteak that ever reached Circle
City, Alaska, sold for S4S per pound
a few weeks ago. The steak consisted
of a ten pound piece of Thorp beef
that was slaughtered at Forty Mile
Greek and was carried from that place
to Circle City. distance of $50 miles,
by Thomas O'Brien. When OBrien
reached camp the miners turned out
en- masse to see the steak. 1t was
PLACID on exhibition and attracted
much attention.
The prices offered were such as
would have resulted in a mining camp
quarrel or bloodshed if it had not been
decided to rattle the steak for the ben
eft of hospital which Bishop Rowe
is trying to establish for the miners
at Circle City. At first only IS per
pound was offered for a slice Of the
steak, but bidding became brisker as
the meat was sliced and as high as
S35 per pound was offered. Finally
in order to avoid complications 1t was
decided to sell tickets at from so cents
to $3.50 for the privilege of drawing
for a slice. After $3.50 worth Of tick
cts had been sold the drawing began
and was ended peacefully.

The discipline of our men is admi-

The subject of Hawaiian annexo-
ton is a matter for discussion and de-
clsion by our congress. The project
has many advocates and many oppo-
nents. The opponents of annexation
always ask the question: What would
be the effect of annexation upon the
growing beet sugar industries
Il do not see wherein the question Of
annexation touches our beet sugar de-
V~elopment. 1t is claimed that the Ha-
waiian islands produce 275. 900 tons Of
sugar every year. That is an immense
crop, But this country last year cor.
sumed 100000 tons of sugar. Thus
you see the Hawaiian islands could sun
ply this country with only about one
sixth OF the sugar necessary for DUR
people. Furthermore, it must be 70.
membered that soils devotedto crops of
n kind cannot last forever. The sur,r
crop OF Hawaii will decrease from dec.
ade to decade. 1t cannot increase
1he Hawaiian soil must be used for
other purposes, or it will be exhausted.
ms being the case, l can see no reason
Tor opposition to Hawaiian annexation.

try in this country.
You will observe that | am simplv
answering the objection of one class Of
the opponents of annexation; but am
not making an argument in favor of an
nexation. In the interview which has
been quoted, showing that | am an ar
dent annexationist, I made no other
reference to annexation than this"
When asked for his opinion of the
beet sugar development in this country,
the secretary said: ut is the ~principa,
source OF future evenue to our people;
and also to be the principal source of
common comfort. 1t is a development
affecting the breakfast table; and that.
of course, affects our entire people,
from the baby with its bottle to the old
man with his cup of coffee, and the
elderly lady with her cup of tea"
This subject of Hawaiian annexation
will soon attract the attention of our
people. The senator's and representa-
tiyes are all taking an active interestin
it; and the debates in the senate and
house OF representatives will be very in
teresting. 1t is surprising to note the
divergence of views Of men of affairs ON
this subject of international interest.
Representative men reflect the views of
the people who send them TO the CON
gress. They are obliged to do so if they
would retain their exalted positions.
