North Adams Transcript says: Sunday
was beautiful day and hundreds Of visi-
tors from adjoining towns drove in from

tain Mills. John c. Newton has worked
with his help, using cantdog himself the
past three days, also W. Draper, who is

A Madrid despatch of the 29th says;
"The queen regent has signed decree
providing for the application of the reforms
agreed upon for Cuba. Her majesty's ac-
tion was due to the receipt of cable mes
sage from Capt. Gen. Weyler announcing
that the western part of the island is com
pletely pacified.
A council of administration is created
for the government of the affairs of the is
land. This council will be in the nature
of parliament made up of 81 members, a
majority of them being elected by the
Cubans and lesser number appointed by
the throne. The council of administration
is given supreme control of the island, sub
ject to certain supervisory conditions by
the home government. One of the most
important features of the plan is that al
lowing Cuba to revise her tariff schedules.

which take place in Holland a few weeks
hence, are looked forward to with good
deal of interest, in consequence of their
being the first held under the new fran
chise laws. which have just come into
force. These statutes have had the effect
of trebling the number of persons qualified
to vote, and under the circumstances,
something much akin to a political reyolu-
tion is anticipated. 1t is considered that
the Catholic party has the best chance Of
winning the day.

Tax on Beer and Tobacco VIII BE
Doubled and S7O,OOO,OOO More Rev

The internal revenue tax on beer and to-
bacco is to be doubled in the revised Ding
ley bill. The Republican members of the
subcommittee have found it necessary to
go outside customs duties for revenue.
For the first time since war days it is frank
ly admitted that sufficient revenue for gov
ernment purposes cannot be raised on i'm
ports. Internal tax ON beer is not doubled
openly, but by change in the method of
levying the tax. At present it is laid on
the barrel. In the revised bill beer will be
taxed by the amour: of alcohol used in its
brewing, and this will double the revenue,
which was S35 900, 600 last year. The tax
on tobacco will be doubled, and this will
bring in an increase of about S35, 100000,
too. Together these taxes will provide an
additional revenue of $70,000,000, and will
fill up the greater portion of the deficiency.

ONLY ONE NEW CASE
Reported From the Gulf City-Business Pick
 ing Up and Travel Resuming.

Mobile, Sspt. 21.-This was another day of favorable report. There was only one new case reported, @ child named Willie Goodloe, living in the in- fected district. One patient was dis charged, leaving under treatment 2S cases, all of whom are progressing fa- vorably. There have been but three deaths, and none since yesterday So many of the reported eases have failed to Further develop thefr yellow fever characteristics that not a few of the doctors seem disposed to doubt the cor rectness of the diagnosis, and one of the most experienced of the doctors has been heard to say that he would not report any more as suspicious. He would wait until the symptoms became unmistakable
 Dr. T. O. Summers, representing the Tennessee board of health, has spent two days here. He made two trips to persons sick with the fever ard his opin- ion is that there is an exceedingly mild type of yellow fever where all the char acteristics being present, but in exceed ingly mild form, so mild indeed that if there had not been the suspicion raised by the outbreak at Ocean Springs the symptoms would probably have passed unnoticed. He is loud in his praise of the way the board has fought the disease and general cleanness of the city. Con- pairing the condition with what is was on the occasion of his last visit here in 1888 he finds it wonderful improve ment.
 Traffic is picking up daily despite the rigid quarantine maintained. The Mo- bile and Birmingham road today got through train with local and through cotton and some through freight for the first time since the 12th.
 The first lot of reguees from the Missds- sippi sound coast got in this morning per steamer Georgia that had been quar- antined at Fort Morgan in the lower bay. There were eleven in the passenger list.

Savannah, Ga., Sept. 21.-A special to the Morning News from Fernandina, Fla, says: A hurricane has been blow ing all day, and at 6 o'clock there is lit tie indication Of it's abating. The wind is blowing harder, and with the tide rising on an already swollen water great fears are entertained of serious dam age to the water front. The schooner J. c. Woodruff, which is lying at the Yellow Pine company's dock loading lumber, has smashed into the dock about twelve feet and rubbed her side blanks over half the dock. The steamer Hamp- ton has broken from the dock, into which she was made fast, and is re- ported to have rammed another vessel lying just ahead of her. The yacht Minim, belonging to Col. N. B. Bur- dens, has parted her anchor chains and been blown high and dry on shore. The pilot boat Francis Elizabeth parted her moorings this afternoon and was blown upon Three Island beach. A piledriver and a barge loaded with pile, besides several boats, have been sunk. A cap- tain and his wife from wood boat, names unknown, have been drowned. Several other boats have been wrecked.

Reports at the Marine Hospital With Slight Fever Which Proved to Be Type

St. Louis, Sept. 21.-This city had a yellow fever scare today, but there seams to have been but little foundation for it, according to Health Commission CT Starkleoff, who made an examina- tion of the suspected cases and declared that 1t showed not single symptom of the dread disease that is raging in the south. Th+ suspect is William Trip, 30 years of age, who reached the marine hospital Monday morning. He had a high fever, and said he came from the government dredge Alpha, engaged in rev5tment work near East Cairo, Ky Dr. Decker, physician in charge of the marine hospital, became interested in the case when he was told by Trip that he had been working on the Alpha, for that boat has bsen used to transfer sev- eral cases of yellow fever to the marine hospotal at Cairo, III. Thinking 1t a case for investigation he telephoned Health Commissioner Starkleoff, but 1t was 10 o'clock before that doctor could get to the hospital.

ANNOUNCE THEIR WITHDRAWAL
Attorneys for the Defense Feel That This Is a Partial Victory for Martin and His Men. Beaver Meadow, Pa., Coal
 Breakers Burned.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 2f. Sheriff Martin and his sixty -four deputies were given a preliminary haaring before the court today charged with the killing of the twenty-four miners near Lntimer on Friday, Sspt. 10 The deputies were brought up from Hazelton under militia ry escort. A large crowd met them at the depot, but they proceeded unmolest- ed to the court house. Judges Lynch and Bennett presided. Judge Lynch an- rounced that the judges would sit as justices of the peace to hear testimony in the case. John M. Garman opened for the prosecution, and stated that he was employed to investigate the shoot ing at Latimer and inquiry if the sheriff and his deputies were justified in kill ing twenty-four men.
 Attorney Garman moved that the warrants of Squire German be given the preference and that the deputies be remanded to the regular officers of the law.
 Judge Lynch replied that the judges did not act hastily, but issued the war rant after due deliberatfon. The court said the witnesses who were not present should be brought in, and that the hear ing could be proceeded with with such witnesses as were present.
 Attorneys Garman and McGahren than notified the court that they would withdraw from the case.
 District Attorney Fell then took charge.
 The judges, after consultation with District Attorney Fell, held all the deputies in $4,5OO each until the hearing is concluded.
 Joseph A. Sim, trust officer of the City Trust Safe Deposit and Surety company, of Philadelphia, qualified as bondsman in the sum of $25e,OOO Not g single witness testified to hearing Sher- if Martin give the order to fire.
 The withdrawal of Attorneys Garman and McGahren has weakened the prose- cution, and 1t is doubtful if the evidence will be strong enough to hold the de- fendants for court The hearing will be resumed at g o'clock tomorrow morning.
