MRS. LEE HAS TYPHOID FEVER

Richmond, Va, October 12.-Mrs. General Fitzhugh Lee is quite sick at the St. Luke's home here with typhoid fever Her condi- ton, however, is not regarded as at all critical. Mrs. Lee returned from Jackson vile a few weeks ago, where she spent some time on a visit to her husband.
 Mrs. Lee came back home with what was then pronounced to be dengue fever. Her condition has been quite favorable and not at all serious until very recently, when typhoid symptoms developed.
 General Lee left here Sunday night for Savannah to make arrangements for his corps to go into camp there, prior to its authorization for Cuba in November. His wifes condition at the time of the generals departure for the south was more favorable than it is now. Her physicians are not alarmed at the lady's condition, and it is hoped she will be better in day or two.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 A few days ago dealers in sugar in New Orleans were greatly surprised to learn that sugar from the city was shut out of Alabama on the grounds that it did not come under the provisions of the Atlanta agreement. That agreement admits sugar in barrels, provided the barrels have been disinfected on the outside; but the Ala bama health authorities objected that the sugar from New Orleans was refined or manufactured here, and, therefore, con- tained some element of danger. This was clearly a far-fetched view of the matter, for the process of refining and the subjec- tion of the sugar to intense heat in doing so was in itself equivalent to disinfection Mississippi, although "the fever scare" is greater in that state than in Alabama, never raised the point that the Alabama board of health do, but admitted New Or leans refined sugar, as, indeed, did all the other states.
 The matter was laid before the Alabama health authorities the other day, and it is gratifying to know that they were so i'm pressed with the facts presented that they withdrew their former ruling, and New Or leans refined sugar is now admitted to the state under the same conditions as all goods included in class 2 of the Atlanta agreement

A HERO AT FL CANEY

Captain A. H. Lee, R. A, British Military
 Attache, in the October Scribner's.
 Close in front of me a slight and boysh lieutenant compelled my attention by his persistent and reckless gallantry When ever man was ht he would dart to his assistance regardless of the fire that this exposure inevitably drew. Suddenly he sprang to his feet, gazing intently into the Village, but what he saw we never knew for he was instantly shot through the heart and fell over backward, clutching at the air. I followed the men who carried him to the road and asked them h.s name Second Lieutenant Wansboro, sir, of the Seventh infantry, and you will never see his better. He fought like a little tiger" A few convulsive gasps and the poor boy was dead and as we laid him in a shady spot by the side of the road the sergeant drew a handkerchief over h.s face and said: ''Good-by, lieutenant, you were a brave little officer, and you died like true soldier" Who would wish a better end?

Spain's Cuban Protest.

The folly of the rather crude and nasty protocol begins to be apparent. Spain in- sits that she should not be asked to begin the evacuation of Cuba in earnest until the treaty of peace is ratified by the United States senate In other words that Ameri- can sovereignty over any of the islands at stake cannot be acknowledged until that time-that the word immediately" in the half-baked protocol refers to the ratifica- tion of the treaty.
 In the meanwhile Spain is playing for de- lay and for help at Paris. She hopes to win by diplomacy what she has lost in war. President Mckinley says Porto Rico must be evacuated by Spain before October IS, and Cuba by December 1. Spain at first said the work of repatriation could not be carried on by her owing to limited re- soruces of ships and money at such rapid rate; but now she boldly says she will not attempt any such thing because peace treaty has not been perfected, and that until 1t is she Is entitled under the law of nations to keep a strong force in Cuba.
 
 tention golds good, indefinitely postponed.
 If this country had a president with a backbone, and a war secretary with an ounce of brains, Spain would be put out of actual control of Cuba in ten days time The spirit of the protocol would be carried out. The protocol is in fact a provisional treaty of peace, and the president had a right to make it. It may not be as definite as it should be. It may afford opportuni- ties for technical points; but its spirit and meaning are plain to plain people. This spirit and meaning should be enforced; and if the president will let vote-getting alone, and will at once place a competent man at the head of the war office, Spain would soon find grounds for a new construction of the protocol, and her newly-found allies, if any, would fail to appear.

the trade of their millions of people, but. above all, because we need good chance at the mighty Chinese trade. The islands would constitute a magnificent foothold in the far east, and would be equivalent to the ports and territory in China that the pow CTS are engaged in grabbing.
 We should keep them because we have no moral right to return the Filipinos to the cruelties of Spanish rule, and we should not let the islands become the football Of the powers In the latter case general war might result. The peace of the world and the good of the millions in the Philip pines alike demand that we should keep the entire group.
 Senator Morgan is right when he says that the sentiment of a large majority of the people of the United States favors the retention of the entire group. These islands should constitute in good part the war in- demnity that we are entitled to. We can not take as much as Germany took from helpless France; but we can take from Spain islands that she is incapable of gov erning properly, and we should do it un- flinchingly and uncompromisingly.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
The State Quarantine.
wxSa-

The establishment of a state quarantine against the states of Mississippi and Louis jana is wholly reasonable in view of the rapid spread of the fever in the two states. The disease is not very destructive of life, nor is 1t incl lined this year to wild and long jumps; but the health boards of the two states long ago conceded that it was beyond their control, and that it would doubtless spread to nearly every county in the two states. Both boards of health have been remarkably negligent--the one at Franklin and Wilson, and the other in Lafayette county and at Jackson, and both soon found that the scourge was their master.
 The Alabama board of health should be up and doing. It should take steps 10 know of sporadic and detached cases. It should be able to prevent the establ shment of a disease focus in this state this year. It son, it did not possess last year; and if the disease gains a foothold in the state, the board of health will justly be held account able. The responsibil ty is a heavy one, and vigilance on it's part during the next twenty days is imperatively demanded. The board has an opportunity now to prove its full duty, perplexing and damaging local quarant:nes will become altogether unnec- assarv

THE wAR-AND BEYOND

From Boston Time and the Hour.
 Of course the war secretary's angry dec- laration that he wants to hear no more about disbandment that he wants all the Porto Rico regiments for garrison duty, and means to keep them is all right and quite discreet, because he could not possi- bly get their places supplied by fresh re- cruiting. It was, of course, the case that the virtual enlistment of the boys was "for the war;" and that their present restraint is by force. But force is an essential ele- ment in militarism, and if the United States gets through her "colonial' difficulties with voluntary enlistments, after the abom- inable record of this short war, it will be indeed surprising.

Hold the Philippines.

Senator Morgon says we should assume full control of the Philipines-all of them until state government is formed, D ~hich may be in two years or 1t may be in twenty.'' Senator elect Simon, of Ore- gon, says: "I favor the retention of the entire Philippine group, and should not agree to the ratification of a treaty that remits any portion of them to Spain." Sem ator Morgan is Chicago platform demo- crat and Senator Simon is a republican, and a gold standard man. It will thus be seen that all parties and all shades of opfn- all of the Philippines.
 We should keep them for many reasons. To begin with, they are ours to keep. The genius and daring of George Dewey made them spells of war. just as German arms made Alsace and Lorraine and an unprece- dented indemnity German property
 We should keep them because our history so teaches. To give away what is our own is without precedent in our history. To have handed back California to Mexico seems now preposterous and short-sighted almost eriminal-yet such an act would have been no worse than the return of the Philippines to Spain would be. The latter is, in fact. less defensble from a humani- tarian point of view than the former, be- cause of the density of the Philippine pop ulation.

The area of Birmingham is in round num- bers six and one-half square miles, and the average area of the twenty-seven towns named in the foregoing list is, in round numbers, seventeen and one-half square miles. Birminghams area would have to be trebled in order to bring 1t up to the aver count of furnaces here and there, and of valley location, and of trolley and dummy lines and steam lines of inter-communica- ton. this town is peculiarly adapted to ex- pansion, and a swelling of it's bounds to the average limits of cities of its class is certainly within reason and practice.

HOW IT LOOKS IN "YoRK STATE"

New York Letter to Philadelphia Public
 Ledger.
 Richard Croker said today that he did not see how the democrats could lose this election. There is reason for believing that MT. Croker speaks his true mind in this matter. The democratic managers are amply supplied with money, and they have a wonderful amount of confidence in the result of the election. They evidently bank largely on the solid German vote against Roosevelt. The odds in favor of the rough riders have fallen 10 to 8. That about sizes up the chances as they now ap- pear to most observers.

PHILADELPHTA's FREAK BUILD1Neu

PHILADELPHJA'S FREAK BUlLDlFGu From the Philadelphia Record.
 Philadelphia may not be able to boast the tallest buildings in the world, but she sure ly has her share of the narrowest. On the corner of Chestnut and American streets Is located a building that at first glance would seem to reflect seriously on the san ity of the projector, but the multitude of prosperous tenants form a monument to the financial shrewdness of the owners. From outside to outside of the walls the structure is exactly five feet wide. It is 15O feet deep, and there are four stories. Every room in it is occupied by shop of some kind or by families, who seem to be content with their lot. The walls are over one foot thick, and this leaves less than one yard for the inside space. Therefore, it is a physical impossibility for the ten ants to occupy full-sized bed. If they de- sire to sleep, it must be on a cot, and the sleeper extends his body from north to south. Among the numerous industries in this contracted building are tailor shop, a restaurant a printing office, sign painting establishment and a cigar store. Another narrow building is at Market and Letitia streets. It is five stories high and six feet and three inches wide. In its original state this building was six feet wider than at present, but city improve ment cut it down to it's present size.
