PORTO RICANs IN COUNCIL.
Considering recommendations for the
Use of Special Commissioners to
Visit Washington.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Oct. 81
The principal theater of the city was
taxed to its utmost capacity yesterday
afternoon on the occasion of public
meeting of delegates from the chief
towns of the island to consider and
draft recommendation regarding the
necessities of the island for the use OF
the special commissioners, who will be
selected later to represent Porto Rico
at Washington when the time comes
for settling the administration sys-
TEN.
The assembly was fairly representa-
tive, and although the proceedings
gave undue prominence to unimpor-
tant details, there was abundant evil
dence of intelligent reflection on the
part of the delegates and of determi-
nation not to tolerate partisan politics
at this crisis in the islands affairs.
Carefully prepared reportswere sub
mitted by the political, social and eco
nomical committees.
The meeting received with enthusi-
asm the resolutions demanding terri
torial rights, the cessation of the pres
ent military rule and the installation
of regular civil government.
Other resolutions were adopted ask
ing an eight-hour day for the laboring
man, and severely denouncing the
present corrupt system of registering
deeds of lands.

Yellow Fever.

The Fatal Malady was Contracted While
Acting as Special Commissioner co In
vestigate the Sanitary Condition of Ha-
vana-The Body Theoretically Sealed
Up and Cremated at Swinburne Island

Washington, Oct. 30.-Nicholas R.
Warning, Jr., died of yellow fever at his
home in this city, where he had been
since he arrived from Havana, on the
Yueatan, on Tuesday last. He was 60
years of age.
DR.. Blauvelt, who had been attend
| ing Col. Waring during his illness.
was summoned to the house at l a..
m. He found that Col. Warning had
been attacked with black vomit. This
symptom continued all morning with
out cessation. Everything possible
was done for the dying man, but he
only lived until 7:45.
The Body Theoretically Sealed Up.
President Murphy of the board OF
health was informed of the death of
| Col. Warning within five minutes after
it occurred. DR.. Rgers, the sanitary
| superintendent, was ordered to have
the body placed in a Theoretically
sealed casket Immediately. Mr.. Muir
ply also gave orders that every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Fever Contracted While on Omciai Duty.
Col. Waring had been sent to the
city of Havana as special commits
sioner of this government to ascertain
the exact sanitary conditions of that
city, and to form ideas for the best
methods of putting the place in first
class sanitary shape. He was to re-
port to the president, and on the day
he returned he said he expected to go
to Washington the next day.
The Disease Didn't Develop Until His Re-
turn Home.
Col. Warning was apparently well
when he left Havana, and he felt only
slightly i'll during the latter part of
the voyage, but when he reached his
home he was obliged to take to his
bed. It was then discovered that he
was suffering from yellow fever.
Col. Warning was Immediately iso-
lated in his apartments on the ninth
floor Of the Rutherford, the apartment
house in which he lived. There are
nine families in the house.
Precautions Immediately Taken.
Precautions were Immediately taken
to prevent the spread of the disease.
No one but the physicians and Mrs.
Warning, who has had the disease, and
is therefore immune, were allowed to
see Col. Waring. Everything that was
taken in or out of the apartment was
disinfected. Inspectors of the board of
health were stationed at and in the
house to prevent people from getting
near to the sick man.
The Doctors were at Fault.
The doctors at first did not think
that the case was a malignant one.
When Col. Warnings temperature rose
to 1854, however, the physicians be-
came alarmed, and the case was con-
sidered in it's most serious form, and
Col. Warning was treated accordingly.
The Body Cremated.
President Murphy of the board of
health states that the body of Col.
Warning will be taken to Swinburne is
land, where it will be cremated imme-
diately.
The father, mother, brother and
three sisters of Mrs. Waring died of
yellow fever in New Orlenas some
years ago.

MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Young woman nrardered.

The family of Charles Duffner, de-
ceased, of Dallas county has furnished
the victim of another mysterious muir
der, young woman this time being
slain by some unknown. A month ago,
Charles Duffner, wealthy German
farmer, had a desperate battle with
three masked robbers. Duffner, aided
by his wife and son, fought the muir
derous strangers and killed one of the
outlaws. While about to dispatch a
second member of the band, Charles
Duffner was shot and killed by the
third robber.
The other Miss Duffner, the daugh-
ter of the murdered farmer, was left
alone at home with a hired man by
the name of Powell. Mrs Duffner
and her son returned home in the af-
teTnoon and found the young woman
had been murdered in the house. The
hired man said that, while he and the
girl were eating dinner, shot was
fired by some one outside of the
house, which killed the young woman
INSTANTLY. He did not see the assas-
sin. Powell was arrested at once on
suspicion, and is now in the Buffalo
Jail. One theory of the murder is that
the hired man had attempted to as
ssult the girl and then killed her to
conceal the crime. Another opinion
attributes the assassination to the
same gang of outlaws that killed the
young woman's father.
