 No Yellow Fever at Vicksburg.- 'Vicksburg has not been touched by the yellow fever scare," said G. Henry Lecompt of that city. ''The disease has been around us for some time, but I don't believe that there is a pos sibility of it getting into Vicksburg. Every precaution is taken to prevent the importation of any suspicious cases, and it has been determined by the city officials to quarantine against New Orleans, Biloxi and all the other places where there has been single case of Yellow Jack discovered. In this manner we don't expect to be bothered. Vicksburg is naturally a healthy city, and, being in good san itaTy condition and having every known facility for handling all epi- denies, there would be 10 danger of spread of the disease even though am imported case should break ouI We feel perfectly safe, and think that what remains of the disease will soon be stamped out in the affected cities"
 Counting Silver Dollars.-The count of money in the vaults of the treasury is still in progress and will not be finished for several weeks The un- usually long time occupied in the count is due to the cautiousness of Treasurer Roberts. In all previous counts the money has been weighed in bags, there being 1000 silver dol lars in each bag. Two tests would be applied to these bags, depending on whether the dollars were new or had been used. A bag of 1000 new and unused dollars weighs about fifty eight pounds and fifteen ounces. A bag of badly used dollars weighs about ffty-eight pounds and nine or ten ounces, difference of $6 or s7. Counting this way the count did not take so long, but Treasurer Roberts has insisted that in one of the vaults in which old silver dollars are stored each dollar shall be counted. This is now being done, and the tinkle of silver dollars is heard for many feet throughout the treasury Twenty-one young women have been assigned to this count. In the vault which held the new silver dollars the count was made in the regular way, and the gold in the vaults will be counted by weight.
 To Stand By Their Guns.-The spirit with which any suggestion of harmonizing the conflicting elements in the democratic party is received in the south is illustrated by views expressed by Representative Wheeler Of Alabama, Gaines of Tennessee and Livingstone of Georgia to a Star re- porter. The three were seen togeth- CT, and simultaneously declared that the silver people were more stiff backed and determined in the fight than ever before. They declared that | there was absolutely no loss of strength in the south, but, on the contrary, they were making gains. Most of the gold democrats, they said were either coming back without con- dition or were going over to the re- publican party, very few holding to their Independent attitude. MT. Liv- ingston said that the silver men had | hO COAlCCSSlOuS IO Iudh0, DuL COlQ the gold democrats that they could either come back into the party, acceptine the platform, or keep away aItogeth- CT. MT. Gaines and MT. Wheeler said substantially the same thing. They all agreed that if the Bank of England made one-fifth of its reserve silve, this action would have no relation te the question of an internationa
 agreement, but would be the result of the demands of trade and a con. fession that gold alone could not full
 fill the requirements of trade. MT
 Gaines said that Mr. Bryan, in hi:
 speech at Nashville on October 8
 Which will be Nebraska day, would
 sound the keynote for the silver
 forces, and Ithat hfter that speech
 there would be no more talk abou T%eakening on the part of the silvel
 people or of harmony between then
 and the gold democrats on the basi.
 of compromise and concessions b,
 the Bryan people.
