But coming from generalization to the

Unfortunately and to the Discourage

As TO The DEATH RATIO.

The New Orleans Times Democrat con
tributes a valuable defense OF Southern
health conditions as against those OF tho
North 1t is based upon an article in tho
November number OF the Sanitarian, with
the caption. yellow Fever in the South =
based mostly upon official report OF surgeon
General Wyman, and supplies some stats-
Ties which viii give, when compared with
fevers and other diseases in other places,
an idea or the harmessness OF what has
been known as 'yellowoid" in this part Of
tho world during The recent visitation.
The Sanltarian says in part: The mum
Der Of cases reported from July ! TO octo-
Der has been, in Louisiana. 4SO with
nineteen deaths; in Mississippi 344 cases
with thirty -one deaths. In point OF terrl-
tory, 1t has been the most extensive cpl
demIc OF this disease from 1878, overrun-
ming half of the State OF Louisiana ana
well nigh the whole of Mississippi. 1t has
been remarkable for its mildness and small
mortality" ss
: The Times Democrat continues:
1--WE take these statistics. although they
are not complete, because they appear in
d magazine that has. as general rule,
very accurate news on vital statistics. And
we confine ourselves to the statistics OF
Louisiana, as they chiefly concern us. Now
it will be observed that. although the. sta
tistics are only given up to October 6,
these may well be taken as illustrative OF
the statistics during the entire visitation.
The mortality for the ten days intervening
between October 6 and the date OF the
first frost which gave quietus to the
germs was not greater than the mortality
ND to October g..
There having been $50 cases and nine
teen deaths tp to October 6 we have only
to divide nineteen into $50 in order to give
us the proportion OF deaths TO cases Ac
tually performing the division we find
that 1T is, within n very small fraction,
equivalent to one death I'm twenty five
cases, or four deaths in every 100. We
more fifty express this proportion by saying
that the mortality was per cent.
This can hardly be said to be a mortal
ity calculated to brighten anybody; and
therefore the scares which drove many
Louisiana people into Righteousness. can
OF ly be set down in the category of those
panic fears which come occasionally with
out apparent reasons to stampede unthink-
ing beings

This tabulated statement is an easy
ercugh one to understand. Nearly eight III
every hundred cases of scarlet fever in
New York during October died; and TWEEN
ty-six of every 100 cases of typhoid fever
died. With us here in Louisiana barely
four of every 100 cases of 'yellowold' died
1t appears therefo.ts from these statistics
that scarlet fevsr is twice, and that typhoid
fever lis seven times as fatal as yellow
old AS a destructive fever. therefore, 1t
is plain that yellowod is of no account
compared with scarlet fewer: while COM
pared with typhoid fever it is absolutely
innocuous.
1T hasn't even the killing power of
measles. During the month of October,
which was not in any way am exceptional
month. there We're lS9 cases of measles in
New York, and Of these cases eight died
a mortality OF 423, as we have seen. The
mortality from 'yellowoTi.' therefore, in
Louisiana during the month of October, was
u trifla less even than the mortality from
measles! And this is the disease that has
been soaring us out Of our wits!"

ALL DEMOCRATS COOPERATE
DELAY IS THE GAME so FAR
 SUCCESSFULLY PLAYED.
Some Senators Strongly Urge the President to Sent a Message Asking the Adoption of the
 Hawaiian Resolution.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Herald s Washington correspondent telegraphs:
 Speaker Reed has some valuable all lies in his campaign to defeat the Ha- waiian annexation resolution by delay Representative Bailey and almost the entire Democratic membership of the House are cooperating with the Re publican Speaker.
 The principle on which the Demo- crats are working is that every day that consideration can be delayed in the House makes it probable that Con- gress will adjourn before the Senate takes final action.
 The more earnest advocates of action in the House were anxious to obtain action to-day that would result in the Hawaiian resolution being made the unfinished business and thus get the right of way.
 The bill to enable soldiers to vote for representatives in Congress was pend ing before the House and Bailey em- parked on a filibuster which he kept up until o'clock, when Dingley brought forward the conference report on the war revenue bill. He was thus able to prevent anything being done for Ha- waii to-day.
 HTeSlOeIC Mchluiey IldS not yet oSllil- itely determined to send a special mes sage to Congress urging the adoption of the annexation resolution. Whether he will do so or not will depend on the course of events in Congress the next few days He has the matter under consideration, and some Senators who have talked with him have strongly urged him to send in a message. They feel confident that if he will take this action the passage of the resolution will be greatly expedited.

A NEW QUALIFICATION. A Question Asked by Hugh Craig of Congressman s. G. Hilborn.

The matter of Hawaiian annexation seems to cut considerable figure with certain members of the business com munity in the line of indorsing or reject ing candidates who aspire for Congress sional honors. s. G. Hilborn has served as a member of Congress from the dis trict across the bay for several terms and no reproach has been cast upon his official conduct. A number of his friends have expressed the desire to see him again fill the position he now holds, ard they. are making canvass of the com munity to see how the land lies. In one direction, the Chamber of Com merce, approval seems to be based upon one point how MT. Hilborn stands on Hawaiian annexation as indicated by the following telegram which was sent to the Representatives at Washington yesterday:
 SAN FRANCISCO, June s, 1898. Hon. s. G. Hilborn. Member of Congress, Washington, D. C.: have been asked to sup port your renomination for Congress. Before committing myself I desire information to how you stand. on annexation of Hawaii. We desire an immediate vote favoring annexation.

Archbishop Riordan Performs the Ceremony, After Which an Elegant Breakfast
 Is Served.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MENLO PARK, June 9.-For many weeks society circles of this place have been all agog over the nuptials of Miss Emile Doyle and Francis Pope, which were solemnized here in the Catholic church this morning. The little church was transformed into a veritable con- servatory of foliage and bloom, and truly might it be said that never was love accorded more royal welcome than on this occasion. The altar was decorated with choice flowers of a yell low and white color, while inside the chancel rail were rare potted plants, palms and dainty ferns. A nuptial mass was celebrated by Archbishop Riordan, assisted by Fathers O'Riordan and Wakeham.
 At the conclusion of the mass Miss march and the bride and groom ap- peared at the altar and were made hus- band and wife, Archbishop Riordan performing the ceremony.
 The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Marie Doyle. Barthley Oliver was best man. The bride was exquisitely robed in a neat-fitting dress of white silk with white chiffon trimming. A bunch of natural orange blossoms was worn. The bridesmaids dress was of blue silk, with bouffant pink satin sleeves.
 Friends and relatives representing the elite of Menlo Park attended the ceremony. The bride is the youngest daughter of John T. Doyle, the we'll known capitalist and lawyer. MT. Pope is rising young lawyer of San Fran cisco and one of the attorneys for the Hibernia Bank
 After the wedding an elegant break fast was served.

MAJOR MCLAUGHLIN ARRIVES. Two Months in Washington and the
 Business He Transacted.

Major Frank Mclaughlin arrived last night from Washington, where he has been for the last two months. The major says that he has worked necessarily while in the East and has accomplished several very important matters. On his arrival 4ln Washington he found the au- thorities averse to even thinking of all lowing the San FranGsco Postoffice to be built of marble. Granite" was their cry and nothing else. But before leav- ing for this city he was assured that a call for alternative bids, either of marble or granite, would be allowed by the Gov ernment.
 The major also says that there is a strong national sentiment throughout the East in favor of holding the Philippines. There is hardly a person in Washington, political or otherwise, who is not desirous of forming a provincial government out of the Philippines under the flag of the United States. The feeling of, the people in support of the President, he says, is growing day by day.

TRIUMPH OF
 JOURNALISM
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The Herald S Washington correspondent says: Ad- miral Cervera's cablegram to the Her aid, printed yesterday, saying that Naval Constructor Hobson and the men who were taken prisoners with him had been turned over to Lieuten- ant General Linares, were being treat ed as Spanish officers of same rank and were well, was read with much inter est by officials of the navy and all friends of Constructor Hobson and his brave men. The Herald was much commended for it's enterprise in get ting this dispatch, in the face of all the difficulties in the way of communicat- ing with the Spanish Admiral at this time, and Admiral Cervera was praised for his courtesy in allowing friends of the prisoners to know that they were being well cared for and were all we'll.
 Acting Secretary Allen highly praised the Herald and expressed great satis- faction at having such trustworthy news from Constructor Hobson and his men, He said he could but wonder how the Herald had been able to get into communication with the Spanish Ad- miral and obtain a cablegram from him.
 Among the members of both houses of Congress the Herald dispatch was read with interest. Representative uncle of Naval Constructor Hobson was particularly delighted to learn that his nephew and the latter's men were well. He said he had feared they might be in danger of illness as a re- suit of their Imprisonment.

STRAICHT.OUT
 PQPULIST TALK
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, June s.-W. c. Bow man, one of the foremost Populists Tn the State and in 1894 candidate for Congress, has created sensation by taking a pronounced stand against fu- sion. Until to-day he has strongly ad- vocated 1t, but tonight he made the following declaration over his own sig nature:
 If this fusion scheme is at the bot tom of a device for the distribution Of patronage and division of spoils, no honest Populist can touch 1t. IT our country is to be rescued from the po- litical corruption and spoliation 1t has wrought, 1t must be done by patriots, not by political jobbers and place hunters, even though they may call themselves Populists.
 'In short, after surveying the whole ground, my voice is for fusion on one condition only-fusing parties as unit on an identical platform and under one name. In my opinion fusion on any other plan is dishonest and unclean. Fusion on conflicting platforms is dirt. Fusion on a single platform with plu- rality of parties is absurd. All true PopuIists, in the very nature of the case, will favor this plan of fusion.
 'Silver Republicans have already fur- nished sufficient evidence of their will ingness to do whatever is generous and reasonable. If the Democrats object. 1t will be for one of two reasons-pos- sibly both. Either their conversion to reform is a sham. or else, they will place pride and prejudice of party name and prestige above the great principles involved. Their own course must de- termine this whole question"

JAPAN AND
 THE TEA TAX
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House.

Call Office, Riggs House.
 Washington, June g.
 W. D. Stevens, counsel for the Japan csc legation in Washington, said to The Call correspondent tonight:
 "Japan has not filed a protest against the war tax on tea. We prefer to call 1t memorandum In addition to the statement which we filed with the conference committee yesterday the Minister this morning filed with the Secretary of State similar memoran- dunn showing that the tax of 10 per cent will fall most heavily upon Japan, while it will not swell the revenues Of the United States to any considerable extent for the reason that small quantity of tea will be imported. There is a very considerable quantity on hand in this country now, especially in Chi cago and Philadelphia. 1t is asserted by the Japanese Minister that the pro- posed tax will work a hardship on the poorer classes, as the bulk of the Japan tea trade applies to the cheaper grades.
 "In view of these facts the question naturally arises: Is 1t judicious to en- danger by legislation. which Is even colorably hostile, this growing com merce in a quarter of the world where so much is hoped for American com merce? Can the United States gain anything by alternating country which is rapidly becoming one of her best customers, for the sake of a compara- lively insignificant increase in her pub lie revenues? The proposed duty may not be aimed at Japanese commerce, but the effect will be the same as if 1t had been. Commerce does not travel upon sentimental lines, but if Japan is depriyed of a market for her teas in the TTnited States she must look elsewhere, and it must follow that her imports from the United States will decrease" !"
