To get the parish OF Point Coupee
to vote on mill tax in aid of the
Baton Rouge and Central Railway
Co., proposition was made to the
police jury by the projectors. Of the
road, that they would agree to trans
port free OF charge all labor and
material during high water in the
Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers
for levee purposes also that the rail-
way company would place at the dis
posal Of the police jury or levee
board a locomotive and train to be
used for said purpose. This propo-
sltion secured the tax.

YELLOW FEVER.

Telegrams from the fever-stricken
points are very megre, and the
news we receive is only an occasional
dispatch. Ii the post Office officials
at Vicksburg could be induced to
sen | the "Heralds" up by boat in
stead around by Grcenvi!le, news
would be received by the citizens of
Providence much quicker.
AT New Orleans there is daily in
crease of cases and the fever will
continue TO spread in the city until il
gets much cooler than it is at the
present time. Up TO date there has
been fully 400 cases and 10 deaths.
AT Mobile there has been 100 cases
and 90 deaths. The fever is not
spreading as fast as it did a week or
ten days ago. Biloxi is not SO fortu-
nate, and the fever seems to be spread
ing. The total number of cases is
put down at $50, with Is deaths.
At Ocean Springs, where the fever
originated, and where there was over
600 cases, there have been no neg
cases for several days. and the fever
has about run its course.
The latest report We have from
Edwards is little more encouraging
but it looks like every person in the
little town will be down before the
season advances far enough to pre-
vent the fever from spreading.
Militia Youma, on the main branch
of the Y. & M. V. r. r. is the latest
place to report the fever, where there
are five cases at present.
Scranton, McEnery and Hattis-
burg, all three places in Mississippi,
are infected with fever.
We believe that it will only be q
weekor so now when the fever vii!
entirely disappear, as the season is
far advanced and it will only be O
short time when we viii have frost.

The Memphis Scimiter says that
s'the English town OF Maidstone, in
the county of Kent, has an epidemic
OF typhoid fever which outclasses in
point of infection that which Yellow
Jack is trying TO fix on certain towns
to the south of us. There have been
1900 eases of the fever at Maidstone,
with death rate of 5 per cent, and a
daily increase of 1870 cases. If the
disease continues to spread at this
rate it will have the whole town in
bed within week."

The New York World says that
''the yellow fever germ cannot be-
come active except in a temperature
OF at least 70-some experts say 80
degrees Fahrenheit, maintained for
at leas, ten days. At this season no
such temperature is likely to be main
tsined for so long time even in New
Orleans. Further north it would be
phenomenal. Again, the first sharp
frost always kills yellow fever, and
although few people at the North
realize the fact, sharp frosts nearly
always occur at the South in October,
and usually before the middle of that
month. There is not the slightest
danger OF a disastrous outbreak of
yellow fever anywhere in this coun-
Try during what remains of the year

Henry George has received the
nomination for Mayor of Greater
New York by party styled the
Democratic Alliance. The platform
of this branch is teeth and toe-nails
against Tammany and says that il
"must be looked upon soly as Local
body of unprincipaled spoils-huuters,
unfit to sit in the councils of the
party whose doctrines they ignore,
whose honor they betray." Tam
many will name its nominee to-day,
which will make six candidates in
the field for Mayor OF Greater New
York, with the chances strongly in
favor of Tammany winning in the
great political battle.

Something About Texas.

From Dallam County, the northwest
corner of the State. to Brownsville, at
the mouth of he Rio Grande, the dis
lance is 900 miles. Now. Dallam
County is nearer to st. Paul, MIMI.
Bismarck, n. OAK. Helena, Mont. or
Salt Lake City. Utah, than it is to
Brownsville, Tex. Again. it is nearer
from LIpscomb County 10 st. Louis
than it is from the same county to
Galveston. Chicago and Cincinnati
are nearer to Texas than Dallam
County is TO Galveston, and it is nearer
from Texarkana to West Virginia or
North Carolina than it Is TO Ell Paso.
II is shorter journey from San Diego,
Cal, to FL Paso than it is from Ell Paso
to Galveston. In fact, more than a
thousand miles of the Pacific coast is
nearer to FL Paso than is any part of
the Gulf coast.
With these distances in mind, it will
not be difficult TO realize what an area
Of pa. $50 square miles means. Texas
had in 1890 Il population of 2,235,52S.
making it the seventh in rank OF the
United States in point of population.
With this large number of inhabitants
the State is very thinly settled. there
being only about eight persons to the
square mile, though the density of
population varies in different parts of
State. Dallas county, for instance,
has seventy -four persons to the square
mile, while Castro county has one per-
son to 100 square miles. The acrcrge
in cultivation in 1892 amounted TO
9. 149. 067 acres. or about five per cent
of the area of the State. exceeding the
entire area of Rhode Island by 122
square miles. The value of the crops,
consisting of cotton, corn, wheat, oats,
harley. rye. millet, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, hay. sorghum, sugar
cane and the various fruits, was 1928,
100000. The number of live stock of
all descriptions owned in the State in
1892 was 20, 200, 900, or sixty nine head
to the square mile, and their taxable
value was SOL, 402,184 Most of the
food and forage crops grown in the
State are consumed at home. but cot
ton. live stock, lumber and wool are
exported. The value Of these exports
for 1892 is given at $155, 900. 900.
The tax valuations amount to 1882,
III 1888. which, divided into the popu-
lation, would give an average value OF
S349.85 to each man, woman aud
child in the State.

w. G. Brann, editor of "Brann' S

Texas, came near being mobbed by

ious denominations. What he re-
ceived was not half the punishment he
justly deserved.

not spread.

Bay City, Mich, July 9.-An inter
urban electric car bound for Saginaw
from this city crashed through the
open draw of bridge two miles out
side this city at II O'Clock today, and
seven passengers were carried down
into the river.
A woman with three children from
this city, whose names have not been

ter was E. Jenkins, assistant general
freight agent of the Michigan Cantral.

Japan Files Her Protest.

San Francisco, July 9.-The steam.
ship Australia arrived from Honolulu
today with advices to June 80. They
are to the effect that the resident Jap
anese minister, Shimamura. received
instructions from his government, per
steamship Picking, to make formal
protest against annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands to the United States un-
til the complications existing between
Hawaii and Japan have been amicably
settled. A similar protest is to be filed
with Secretary of State Sherman by
the Japanese minister at Washington.
Minister Shimamura is at work upon
a third communication to the foreign
Office on the immigration troubles, but
is extremely reticient as to its con-
tents He admits, however, that he
has been commanded to make salts
factory settlement as quickly as posi-
BILE, and that he has received his final
instructions.
Counsellor Akiyama, the special com
missioner, was expected to leave fol
Japan on the steamer Rio de Janeiro.
on July 8, for the purpose of conveying
a complete report of the present status
Of the diplomatic relations between the

further instructions to Minister Shin
amura. The latter official, when ques-
toned about the answer he received
from Minister Cooper on June 26, said
that it's contents we're very unsatisfac-
tory, but he declined to state in what
particular they were so.

Two American warships Are en- Route
to Tangier.
New York, July "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: The
emperor of Morocco is to be coerced by
American men-of-war in order that
punishment may be inflicted upon one
of his subjects who assaulted an Ameri-
can citizen. The vessels are on their
way to Tangier. They are the San
Francisco, flagship, and the Raleigh.
The San Francisco is expected to reach
Tangier in few hours. The Raleigh
will arrive at her destination the latter
part of the week.
The orders of the San Francisco and
the Raleigh were the result OF request
received by the state department from
Consul General David N. Burke, sta
toned at Tangier. Mr.. Burke an
nounced that an American citizen had
been brutality assaulted; that he had
asked the Moorish government to ar
rest and punish the Americans assail-
ant, and that up to the present time
there were no indications that the re-
quest would be granted.
