FIGHTING YELLOW FEVER
Ne Official Report That the Conditions at
New Orleans Are Worse.

Marine Hospital Service-Extra
Surgeons Obtained.

Marine hospital officials say there is moth
Ing official to bear out rumors thar the
yellow fever condition at New Orleans is
considerably worse than has been reported.
These rumors have reached the bureau
mere and have caused some uneasiness, but
there has been nothing confirmatory of
them The surgeon generals latest bulle-
TIN shows twelve cases and two deaths up
to date.
1t is realized by the officials that there is
natural tendency in afflicted localities to
keep the reports down to the lowest limits.
In order to avoid the scare and the COM
mercial blockade which ensues when the
situation is understood to be serious. At
the same time the Louisiana authorities
have been keeping the officials here we'll
advised of the progress of the disease, re-
porting new. cases, and explaining the
elaborate system of quarantine and care
put in force.
The surgeon general has supplement led
the local corps of physicians with an unI-
sually large number of federal surgeons.
At present the Marine Hospital staff at
New Orleans consists of Surgeon Carter,
Past Assistant Surgeons Wasden. Mag-u-
der and Stone. Assistant Surgeons Lums-
den and Clark and the official regularly at
tached to the Marine Hospital at that port
Not far from New Orleans, at Franklin.
Surgeon kalloch ard two hospital stewards
are at work. Assistant Surgeon Lavender
is at Baton Rouge, and Assistant Surgeon
Cummings at Jackson.
BY this disposition of a large staff of
federal surgeons the authorities here feel
that everything possible is being done to
cope with the disease. Passed Assistant Sur
geon Cobb, with four assistants trained in
yellow fever work, has been given charge
of the district comprising Taylors Orwood

STRAINED RELATIONS
ALI is Not Pleasant Between Judges Scott
and Kimball
The Latter Takes the Formers Seat
in the United States Police Court
An Interesting Conflict.

1t has been reported for a long time past
among those whose business calls them
into close relationship with the Police
Court that the relations existing between
Judges Scott and KimbalI have been
strained. but the crisis came today in a
nest unexpected manner.
Owing to the way in which Judge Scotts
commission is worded, the latter has ever
since his appointment regarded himself as
entitled to preside in the United States
branch of the Police Court. The document
states specifically that Charles F. Scott is
appointed successor to the late Thomas
F. Miller. The latter, as is well known,
sat on the bench of the United States
branch for a long time previous to his
death.
1t will also be remembered that there was
an interregnum of a few days following
the expiration of Judge Kimballs term and
his reappointment, and the appointment of
Judge Scott having been made and his
commission issued in the meantime, it is
claimed by some that this makes Judge
Scott the senior in office, and by right en-
titled to preside in the upper court.
Judge Kimball did not, however agree
with this view of the subject. and an agree
ment was reached by which during the
suing three months Judge Scott would
mold the upper court and Judge kimball
the lower, at the expiration of which time
the judges were to change positions, which
they did
This arrangement was continued until
the 1st of the present month. when Judge
Scott. who presided upstairs during the
previous three months, did not change with
Judge kfmball. as was expected. This
morning Judge Kimball reached the upper
court room in advance of Judge Scott and.
seeing the vacant chair of the judge there.
took possession of 1t. Judge Scott arrived
moment later. and, seeing that Judge
kimball had taken his place, went down to
the District court and presided there. AS
to what followed when the judges met
reports differ but it was stated this after
noon that Judge Scott had gone to the
attorney generals office with the intention
of acquainting that official with what had
tranSpired in the matter.

Prominent Citizen aud Minister EN-
pires Suddenly.

Rev. Jabez Fox died suddenly this morn
ing at his residence. 90 Indiana ave-
nue.. He was found dead in bed. and while
in one sense, IL was unexpected. still he
had been a sufferer from heart disease for
some time past and death was due TO that
cause. Funeral services will be held at the
residence Wednesday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Fox had been a resident Of this
city for the past forty years, and was wide
ly known in the Presbyterian delomina-
ton, in which he was prominent minis
ter.

came to this city about the year 1860 as
pastor of the New Jerusalem Church. He
had made previous visit here, having been
sent as a missionary by the general con-
Vention of the church. 1t was largely due
to his devoted laGCrs that a church was
organized here and he was made its first
settled pastor.
He continued In the pastorate in this city
until about the year 1856 when he went
abroad where he remained several years,
preaching in England and Scotland. ON
his return to this country he went TO CAL
weston, Tex. where he established church.

winters in the south, preaching in Savan-

DAMAGE TO RICE GROWERS.
Storm Southern Coast Has Dam
aged Crop 80 Per Cent.

CHARLESTON, S. c., October 3.-Last
nights hurricane and the storm of two
weeks have done but small damage TO
property in this vicinity, but the loss TO
rice growers was very heavy. Even dam
age done by the great storm OF 1898 has
been exceeded.
It is variously estimated by the planters
and rice brokers that the loss will be from
81 to 90 per cent. The damage is entirely
due to the high tides and easterly winds
that have prevailed along the coast as d
result of the storms.
The tides have kept the water in the
fields for a week and the drains refuse TO
draw. The easterly wind serves TO keep the
water backed W. in the streams. Breaks
in the banks have occurred in the Pou-
Pou, Ashpoo and Combahee rivers, and
these sections nave suffered most severely.
In some cases the entire crops in those
sections are lost. No word has reached
here from the sea islands and the extent of
damage is not known.
