The work of rescue has continued
night and day ever since Sunday week,

consequently meeting with better re-

hope of rescuing those who are injured

the committee what he had testified to

buoy to which the Maine was anchored

ship was placed, he said, was such that
he could have fred upon both forts at

ular monthly meeting with the provision

In the election of officers a lively time
was had In the vote for president of the
board there were three candidates J. W.
Priddy, who has been president several
years, was voted on, but stated that he
did not wish to be elected. Edward VIII
der and w H Wilson had a race for the
position. On the first ballot Edward VIII

dent. W. H. Wilson was elected over

The board authorized the clerk to adver-
for the city schools for the coming year
bids
It was decided that as the valuation of
the available funds which the board would
have would be smaller than usual, the su-
perintendent's annual report should not
be printed in pamphlet form.

TROOPS TOCOME NORTH
All Southern Camps to BE
Abandoned.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Secretary AL
ger said today that his intention was to
order to northern points all the troops
now camped in the south. This remark
was made to Senator Bacon of Georgia,
between whom and Secretary Alger
there was, according to Senator Bacon,
a spirited colloquy in the Office of the
secretary.
Senator Bacon returned to Georgia
last night, having stated with feeling to
Secretary Alger that if his mind was
made up beforehand there was no use
in saying anything further. Senator
Bacon wanted the troops scattered,
maintaining the southern points would
under such circumstances be equally as
healthy as northern points, and that
the wholesale moving was a willful re-
Election on the healthfulness of the
south.
Deplorab1e reports have been coming
from southern camps, those from Mi
ami being almost incredible. Surgeon
General Sternberg regards the situation
there, as we'll as at Chickamauga, as
serious, but Jacksonville is thought to
be not so badly off.
Twenty per cent of the 5000 troops at
Miami Representative Davis of Louisi-
ana reports as Frustrated from fever.
The transportation facilities are clumsy
and the real condition of the men seems
to have been lost sight of until within
the last few days.

LIVE STOCK RATE RULING.
Union Pacific Makes Denver a Termi-
nus for Stock Shipments From
the West

Denver, Aug. 2.-One of the most i'm
pOrtant orders ever issued by the Tn
ion Pacific railroad, insofar as the live
ern shippers of live stock are concern
ed, was promulgated today. Early in
the year, on complaints from shippers
that they were being Disseminated
against on shipments to Denver from
points west of Colorado, the National
live stock association took up the mat
ter of adjusting these rates with west
ern lines. AS a result, the Union Pa
cifc today issued an order making Den
yer the terminus for all western ship
ments of stock, instead of Ogden,
Utah.
Heretofore a shipper was compelled,
on reaching Ogden, to select his route
to the eastern markets. If he selected
the Union Pacific for Omaha or Kansas
City, he was not allowed to try the
Denver market without paying the local
freight rate from Cheyenne, Wyo., to
Denver and return, a distance of over
210 miles. Under the new ruling, a ship
per can have his stock billed to any
eastern market via Denver without
extra charge, thus giving him the ad-
vantage of two markets instead of one,
without extra freight rates, which made
shipments from many points in the
west to this market prohibitory.
It is said that other western roads
terminating or running through here
will take similar action at an early
