ALARM AT JACKSON.
Health Officials Say the Yellow Fever
Situation Is Grave.

JACKSON, Miss, Sept 2S-The local
health officials admit that the yellow fever
situation to-day is grave. No new cases
are announced, but the physicians have sew
eral suspicious cases under surveillance.
The area of infection is very large, embrace
ing about sixteen squares, and no less than
two thousand negroes are confined within
the Gordon. About $50 whites reside in the
district Many of the negroes are without
food, and the relief work will be commenced
at once. The great number of exposures in
the wide area OF infected district renders
the epidemic among the negroes hard one
to handle, and 1t will require heroic meas
ures to prevent the disease from reaching
the upper portion of the city. The situation
in other portions of the State is unchanged.
The health officer of Jefferson county re-
ports that he has examined the suspicious
illness in Darriston, and does not believe It
is yellow fever.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-The numerous
articles of mail matter reaching the San
Francisco postoffice addressed TO Hawaii and
paid for only at domestic rates indicate
a general but erroneous impression that our
domestic postal system was extended to
those islands when they were annexed.
The Postoffice Department has called atten-
ton to the fact that the universal postal
union rates apply to the Hawaiian mails as
heretofore, the only exception being in mat
ter addressed to our military or naval
forces there, to whom domestic postage APP
plies. For the present at least the same
rates apply to mails for and from Hawaii
as before annexation

American Ambassador Bayard's career, es-

the field more open to professional politi-
clans or Tammany BOSSES"
The Daily News, referring to the Venez-
uelan dispute. says: Mr.. Bayard's coun-

WAR ON ROOSEVELT.
Democrats Will Attempt to Prevent
the Filing of His Nomination.


NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Ringhamton, N. Y, says.
With the nomination of Theodore Roose-
welt for Governor the Democratic party will
begin one of the hottest legal battles ever
fought in this country Thomas j. Mangan
the Democratic nominee for district attor-
ney, gives out the statement that affidavits
are now being prepared which will be pre-
sented on the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt,
as the basis of Injunction restraining the
secretary of state from filing the nominal
ton and placing the name on the official
ballot The matter will be fought through
the state courts and. if ultimately defeated,
the case will be carried TO the United States
Supreme Court. this being permissible in an
action where the people of the State are in
terested. The Democratic party will take
the position that it is endeavoring to uphold
the law which the Republican candidate is
alleged to have violated. Only one similar
case is known where a candidate was
claimed to be illegally nominated, and,
though he was very popular, he was over
whelmingly defeated. Mr. Mangan could
not say how soon after the nomination the
action would be begun. but intimated that
there would be no delay"
