Safety Valve Blew Off.

This afternoon about 3:25 a great
deal OF excitement was caused by the
safety valve blowing off the boiler in
Buchanan & Powers planning mills.
In few minutes after the first
noise began a large crowd assembled
around the planning mills eager to find
out il any body was killed.
The HERALD reporter was on the
scene and on making inquiry as to the
cause of the escaping steam was told
that the safety valve failed to blow off
as an exhaust when there was a proper
amount Of steam to make it do so.
and the engineer took long stick and
punched it and in doing so pushed it
clear out of its rest, and the ESCAPING
steam would not permit any one to re-
place it.

The New Yellow Fever Serum.

A letter to the HERALD from New
York save: The presence of the dread
ed yellow jack among the United
States troops now at Santiago and
vicinity, even though in mia form,
has caused the greatest alarm all
over the country. Should the terrible
malady become epidemic among the
soldiers in it's most virulent form, the
death rate in the army would be some
thing frightful. Every precaution is
being taken by the medical ends of
the army and navy departments for
the checking and suppression of the
disease, and in a measure it's spread
has been stopped. .
Among the prominent physicians
outside of the army and navy who have
been studying the disease in its various
forms in the hope of discovering q cnre
and preventive is DR.. Alvah H. Doty.
health officer of this port. DIR, Doty
has been investigating the theory of
the specific organism of yellow fever,
as developed by Ssnarelli, and has ad-
vanced Is far as the South American
psychologists. He expects to know
from the result of certain experiments
now in progress whether or not he aud
his assistants have produced a serum
which will differ from that of DR.. San
arelli only in strength. 1t will be SUI
per1or in that respect, owing to the
fact that it is newer than that made by
the Italian.
If DIR. Sanarelli's serum is what he
believes it to be, DR.. Doty will have q
remedy for those who are afflicted
with yellow fever, and a preventive of
the disease in those who are innoculat-
ed with it.
DR.. Doty has no doubt of the success
of his present experiments. 1t can
readily be seen how vastly important
to the welfare of this country Sauarel-
LIS discovery and the Investigations of
DR.. Doty will prove. DR.. Doty in speak
ing of the matter recently, said: 1.-The
statement made some time ago by Pro-
lessor Sanarelli, of Montevideo, tnat
he had discovered the specific
organism of yellow fever has not &C.
cupied the public attention so fully in
the United States as it has in South
America and other countries which are
constantly menaced by this disease
However, our present close relations
with Cuba will probably bring this
subject the consideration which it GER
tainly deserves.
Although Ssnarelli made the an
nouucement of his discovery two years
ago his conclusions have not yet been
generally accepted. While he has
supporters, there are distinguished
psychologists who will not admit the
specific organism has been found, and
assert that what Sanarelli has present
ed is simply q bacillus which has no
special relation to yellow fevern

Fire Or No Fire.

the man who turned in the alarm.
The central telephone station was
rung up to find out who turned in the
alarm, and the fireman were informed
that some one at the Texas & Pacific
terminal phone had sent at in.
"This way people all over town have
the department turn out for nothing,
and cause the volunteer firemen q long
hard run as this one was", said one of
Ell Paso's most prominent volunteers,
sis not right, and any man with good
common sense would be sure there was
q fire before he would ring the
alarm. Now take it to
night when streets are
crowded with people out driving, there
is q good deal OF danger of one of the
trucks running over some one who cant
get out If the way, and whom the driv-
err can't get around. If this kind of
alarms are continued the volunteer
firemen will get so they will refuse to
turn out when they are called on,
simply because they think it is moth

wants to see the department turn out,
and have q run"

lows were traced up and arrested it
would beat some sense into their heads.
There is no reason why they should
not be arrested, as there is an ordi-
nance whereby it is an offense to ring
q false alarm, and this matter should
be watched a little closer by the police
so that these unnecessary alarms can
be stopped.

THE CINCINNATI STORE.

millionaire of New York, who is said
to have offered a million dollars for the
restoration of his sight, is perhaps in a
way to have the opportunity to pay the
money. His offer has been regarded
rs standing one, and has brought such
large number of specialists and doc

OUR EXPORTS.
Greater for the Last Calendar Year
Than Ever Before.


The bureau of statistics of the treasury
has issued its statement of the principal
articles of domestic export These are
Lreadstuffs. cotton. mineral oils and pro-
visions, including cattle and hogs. For the
calendar year just closed the total eX-
ports OF these articles amounted to $GSG,-
Us OIL as against 1854 .G3S,377 for the
previous year. The total for the year nov
reported is the largest ever recorded in the
history of this country. For the month of
December the total exports of these items
was SIS, ,ol6, $50, figure which has not been
approached for any month in years, proba-
bly, never before.
The completed figures of all the exports,
viii not be available until the first of next
month. Enough is known now. however,
to indicate that the exports of 1897 will run
tc $1.1o",oro"oo. surprising every other
calendar year; also any fiscal year. Th.
fiscal year 1892. usually referred to as the
most prosperous in the history of the
country. recorded q total of 81 .O15 900 900
The fiscal year ended June 81, 1897, exceed
cd this by about S1I .apDaN.
The balance of trade in ia vnr of the I init =
ed States for the year just closed will ap-
IIoXiIuate Cu.t-u.,ND and ii is estimat ed
by some authorities that the fiscal year
half over. will show q trade balance of
quite $4oO 100000. While much of the in
crease of exports is due to the foreign de
Inands for products of agriculture there is
a noticeable and healthy growth in the ex-
ports Of manufactures.
The gold reserve in the treasury con-
tinues to grow daily. 1t today reached the
total of S161 III ,153, and if the trade bal
ance continues in favor of this country the
accumulation will be much greater. This
is in the face of the fact that at this sea-
son of the year there is a natural tendency
to a decrease by reason of exports and th,.
settlement of foreign Indebtedness etc.

ADMITTING SEALSEIN GARMENTS.

EeuemLer ~.

When the attention Of Assistant Secre-
tary Howell was called to the difficulties
experienced AT Detroit aud Suspension
bridge by tourists and Others in the matter
OF the detention of their sealskin garments
he Immediately sent the following tele-
gram to the collectors of customs at those
ports: Admit aIskin garments imported
as personal effects if they are shown to
have been I'm use Of owners prior to 10Th
ultimo''
Mr.. Howell said in explanation that II
had been held by the treasury that seal
skins actually in transit to the United
States prior to the passage Of the act of
December 30. 1SgI, were not subject 10 the
provisions Of that act. and ii would be
marifestly unfair TO hold that sealskin
garments purchased bY tourists prior to
December - and USED by them I'm their
travel between the United States and
Canada. were subject io the provisions of
this aci on their arrival in the United
States.
He added that il was thought that the
collectors of customs would experience
Very little difficulty in determining wheth-
er garments wcr@ owned by the tourists
prior TO December -. This could he shown
in several ways. In some cases an inspec-
tion OF the garment would bo sufficient but
where that would not entirely satisfy the
collectors they might require the produc-
tion of the bill of sale. or he could accept
the testimony Of parties in whom he had
confidence. Collectors are expected to use
judgment and discretion in the matter of
to avoid as far as possible annoyance to
travellers.

New Orleans Delegation Appears
Before the Committee.
The House rivers and harbors committee
gave a hearing yesterday on the project
for deepening and widening the channel Of
the Mississippi from the gulf to New Or
leans. The object is the furtherance of
commercial, railroad and steamboat inter-
ests of the cities along the Mississippi, and
especially the heavy grain export traffic.
A large delegation was present from New
Orleans. headed by Mayor Flower, and ex-
Secretary of the Interior David R. Francis
was among those who represented the in
terests of other points.
Captain j. w. Bryant of New Orleans
spokesman for the delegation, complained
of the narrow, crooked channel now used
which prevented many vessels from carry
ing full cargoeS and cited not infrequent
cases Of grounding of the vessels travelling
this channel.
NJ ]. Sanders of New Orleans called for
action on deepening the entrance of the
Mississippi not as local measure, but in
the interest Of commerce Of the Mississippi
and its tributaries. 1t was argued that
with the opening of the southwest pass as
contemplated by Eads many years ago,
and with the deepening of the south pass
