Queen Wihelmina's proclamation
upon the occasion Of her accession to
the throne OF Holland is modest,
womanly and dignifed. 1t merely
confirms the opinion hitherto ex.
pressed, namely, that wihelmina is by
all odds the incest girl now engaged in
the reigning business anywhere in the
world.

DOCTORS in VIENNA CONTRACT

Firm Foothoid In Austrian
Capital.

A cable dispatch from Vienna, Aus
tria, says: The outbreak Of bubonic
plague at Vienna, due to the expert
ments in cultivation Of the plague ba-
cillus, has spread terror at the Aus
trian capital.
Three cases in addition TO that Of
the late Herr Barisch. the assistant in
the establishment who contracted the
bubonic plague while cultivating the
bacillus, have now occurred. They
are two nurses in the laboratory, an
other of the assistants, Herr Barisch's
wife, and DR.. Muller, the physician
who attended Herr Barisch.
DIR. Muller died Sunday morning.
He was considered an authority on
the plague, having been to Bombay
for the purpose of studying 1t on the
spot, and he survived oil the dangers
there. The disease at Vienna has as
sumed o pneumonia form. There are
no boils, but each case is accompanied
by high fever and blood splitting. Ex-
traordinary precautions have now been
taken to prevent an epidemic.
The plague patients lie in an iso-
lated building, attended by DIR. Pooch,
q volunteer physician, and by Sisters
OF Charity. They are surrounded by
a rope, across which nobody is allow
ed 10 pass.
DIR. Pooch writes the prescriptions
and fastens them to the window pane.
The doctors outside read them and
have them made up. Then the pre-
scriptions are placed on the window
ledge, whence they are removed by
those inside. Food is conveyed to the
patients and their attendants by Sis
tiers OF Charity in a similar manner,
and the nurses furnish accounts by
telephone of all changes in the pa
TENTS condition.
Every person who has come in con-
tact with Herr Barish, principally the
hospital attendants, have been isolated,
some of them resisted and others tried
to escape, but were captured, and all
locked up.
1t is feared, however, that the pre-
cautions were taken too late
Herr Barish was i'll for three days
before he saw doctor, during which
time he lived with his wife and visited
wine shops.
The wife, who has now developed
suspicious SIMPSONS, visited friends,
rode in public omnibuses and came in
contact with dozens Of persons at her
husbands funeral.
The excitement in medical circles is
tremendous. The we'll known chem
est, Professor Hoffroth Luding, has
made pathetic speech, during which
he expressed the hope that the doc
tors OF Vienna will prove themselves
equal to all emergencies. This reveals
the fact that il is the opinion Of med
ical men at the Austrian capital that
the plague is likely to spread in that
city.
A painful feature Of the Viennese
situation is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude
of the anti-Semetic papers, which are
accusing the Jewish doctors Of bring
ing the plague to Vienna. II is feared
that this appeal TO the worst passions
OF the mob will lead TO plague riots
q yainst the Jews II the disease spreads.

special of Sunday from Meridian.
Mise, says: The most bloody race
war that has occurred in Mississippi
since the exciting days Of the recon
struction period is raging in Scott
county, fifty miles west of Meridian.
As the result of IN attempt to ar
rest negro near Harpersville, Scott
county, in the eastern part OF the
state, one white deputy is killed, three
wounded, and, according to the latest
report, nine negroes have been kill
cd by the citizens OF the HTpers-
vile neighborhood and the sheriffs
posse combined.
The pursuit OF about fifty negroes,
who had joined the original offender
with the avowed determination TO pre-
vent his arrest and capture and who
ambushed the party attempting the
arrest, continues and by morning the
number of fatalities will undoubtedly
have assumed larger proportions. The
whole country is terribly aroused and
the sheriff's posse has been REINFORCED
with men from all the neighboring
towns.
Governor McLaurin has gone to the
scene, which is about ten miles north
Of Forest, the nearest railroad point.
The trouble originated last Friday,
when q negro named Bill Burke had
an alteration with his employer,
Charles Freeman, O. white man, in
which the negro got the best Of the
difficulty.
That night q crowd of white men
went TO Burke's house TO arrest him,
but he was not there. The white men
then decided to 60 back the next night
10 capture Burke, and the plan was not
concealed.
Headed by Wallace Sibley, white
man deputized to arrest the man, the
crowd went to Burke's house, which is
about one mile from Harpersville.
When they arrived upon the scene
and called for Burke they were greeted
by fusilade from the negroes, who
were concealed in the bushes surround
ing the house and in the house ITSELF
Wallace Sibley, the leader, fell dead
at the first volley and three more white
members Of the crowd, James john
son, James Hamilton and James
Wells, we're wounded.
The whites returned the fire, but
were unable to do any execution, as
their assailants were all concealed.
There were not more than eight men
in the crowd, and finding it impossi-
BILE TO resist effectively, they retired
toward Harpersville.
The wounded deputies were able TO
get back to town with the assistance
of their comrades. This occurrence
took place early in the night.
When the crowd returned to Har-
persville the news spread like widfire.
During the night a large crowd gath
cred from the neighborhood. The
men Immediately went to Burke's
house and got from his mother the
names Of oil parties in the crowd which
had ambushed the men the night be-
fore. In all there were about forty
negroes who had gathered TO prevent
the arrest of Burke, and a list was
made mp at her dictatiop. All Of them
had fed before the crowd made its APP
pearance the next morning. Then the
pursuit and search began.
According to the statement Of relia-
BILE citizens, six of the negroes were
found and killed by the crowd before
the sheriff arrived.
