Fever situation More Serious.

Jackson. Miss, Oct. 1.-THE fever
situation here is more serious today.
With the appearance of tho disease in
North jackson there is no section of
the city free from infection, and new
cases are multiplying already. DR.. j..
H. Purnell, state health officer, has is
sued the following proclamation: "Yel-
low fever is appearing in all parts of
the city. The spread is becoming gen.
eral. and as it will be three or four
weeks before cold weather can reason
ably be expected, it is again urged that
all parties who possibly can do so, leave
at once for northern or other points
that will receive refugees. Remaining
in Jackson several days longer will
make it dangerous to leave"

The Botkln ExtradltIon Case

San Francisco, Oct. 1.-THE Botkin
case is likely to develop a sensation
before the alleged poisoner is removed

the extradition warrant yesterday af-
ternoon and gave it to Chief Lees. At

was legal, and that it was sufficient
for her removal. Mrs. Botkin's attor-

Judge Hawley to issue writ of habeas

from forcibly taking the prisoner from

COST OF A BIG BATTLE.
1t Takes Millions 80 Fight One Naval
Engagement.

If no men were lost, if no ships were
destroyed or even damaged, it would
cost s., ,00O, 900 or So, ,O00. 900 for ammuni-
ton alone to fight frst-class battle
with modern arms and projectiles, and
a large part of the $50,00O,000 appropri
ated by Congress will go for powder
and shot. An ordinary allowance OF
ammunition for one of the big guns
costs about as much as the gun itself.
and anyone can realize that the Navy
will need an enormous amount of pow
der before it goes to war, for it takes
nearly half d ton every time one of the
big thirteen-inch guns is fired. There
We're $50 tons of powder on the Maine
when she went down, and her maga-
zines were only half-ilIed. The big
battleshipS and the frSt-claSS cruisers
should never go into action without
supply of from 500 to 500 tons, or. say.
an average of 700 There are eleven OF
these battleships. which together re-
quire 100 tons. Then there are sixteen
second-rate ships which ought TO have
500 tons each in their magazines, or
total of 5000 tons; forty-twO third-rate
ships which should have at least 800
tons EACH or a total of 1850 tons,
and seven fourth-rate ships which
should have 200 tons each, or a total of
!, 100 tons Without counting the tor
pedo boats, it requires about 10000
tons of powder to fill the magazines of
our Navy before it would be safe to
send the ships into action.
The seacoast defenses, with their
monstrous eight. ten and twelve inch
guns, require several times as much
The four-inch rapid-fire rifle requires
sixteen pounds Of powder to carry
projectile weighing thirty-three pounds
four miles The fiye-inch gun requires
twenty five pounds. the six-inch rifle
fifty pounds, the eight-inch rifle 25O
pounds. and it costs $1,000 every time
one of the thirteen-inch rifles is fired.
There are four of these guns each on
the battIeships Indiana, Iowa, Massa-
chusstts and Oregon.

THE HILL-CROK Err FEUD.
II Finds an Echo i'll the Proposed
Charter Celebration.


New York, March 12.-The action of
the Democratic councilmen and alder
men in opposing one of Richard Crok-
er's pet schemes, the proposed charter
day celebration, is regarded by the pol
iticians as another indication that
break between the Tammany and the
Mclaughlin machines is imminent
Open hostilities may be begun next
week when the $4,000 resolution comes
up for action in the council and the
board of aldermen, and it appears likely
from the talk OF the Brooklyn men,
that there viii be no mincing of words
in discussing not only the resolution,
but Croker's treatment of Brooklyn
generally since January /.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
Mayor Van Wyck took office. From the
beginning he took advantage of every
occasion to sneer at Brooklyn its finan-
cial system, and it's public works, and
when the Board of Estimate and APP
portionment was working on the
budget, he insisted on cutting down
Brooklyns appropriation to a figure
which made it impossible to pave or
light the streets properly or to provide
suitable school accommodations and q
sufficient number of teachers. 1t was
generally understood that this was done
by direction of Richard Croker. and the
Brooklyn men hold Croker responsible
for the action of the Board Of Estimate
and AppOrtionment.
According to well-informed polti-
clans, this trouble between the two
Greater New York machines is only the
beginning of a fight in which the party
throughout the State will take part
As is well known, Hugh Mclaughlin
and his followers are very friendly to
ex-senator Hill. Croker, on the other
hand, has declared in substance that
Hill must be driven out Of politics. All
this week Croker's personal organ has
been abusing the ex-senator. denOunC-
ing him as a traitor to his party, and
attacking prominent Democrats whC
are friendly to him. This action is
considered a part of a general scheme
devised by Croker and Senator Murphy
to gain complete control of the State
I machine and nominate a man selected
by them for governor. The next thing
in order, politicians say. will be an oper
alliance between Mclaughlin and Hill
/ Then the fight for delegates to the
/ State convention viii begin, and the
Democratic party of this State will bt
! split into two big factions. Politician!
everywhere believe that this split is in
evitable. The differences between Hill
/ and Croker are such, they say. that
1 settlement of them is impossible. while
/ there is no prospect that agreemen
can be reached and maintained between
/ Tammany and the Brooklyn machine.

which has afflicted the nation for months.

which has afflicted the nation for months,
that OF waiting.
Each day during the week the members
of the House have entered the historic
legislative chamber filled with a hope
that before leaving it some message
from the President would be received
which would hasten the solution of the
complications, and each day the mem
bers have been disappointed, but not dis
heartened. When the House adjourn al
Friday night until tomorrow there was
not member present who did not be-
uevc that the strain of the past week
would be removed during the present
one. and that before another Friday is
reached on the calendar the relations be-
tween this country and Spain will have
reached tangible and decisive elucida
ton.
In speaking of the situation a member
Of the Foreign Affairs Committee said
Yesterday that in his Judgment if Spain
did not recede from the naughty position
II had always assumed. war viii be de-
clared within very short time. He said
he did not understand how such an event
can possibly be prevented He declared
that the wauton destruction of the Maine
and the sacrifice Of lives thereby, horrible
as they were only made an incident in
the complications and that the time had
arrived when this Government had to
elthef intervene III DelaH OF Cuod OF pe-
come the source of ridiculeSof every
foreign nation. He added that he did not
believe that any foreign power would in
terfere in any way with any action that
America might deem proper in adjusting
the differences between IL and Spain.
I'VE viii demand an ample reparation,
he said. FOR the loss Of the Maine and
the loss to our commercial interests, and
Spain viii probably not feel inclined to
grant them and then war viii follow. I
do not care 10 say what, in my judgment,
viii be the course the Administration
win pursue in efecting a proper repara-
ton. bur I have 20 doubt but that it VIII
in ev-ry respect be satisfactory to this
country. IN my opinion a money corsid-
Grafton viii not prove satisfactory to this
Government, and I do not believe that
Cuba viii be called upon to pay money
! FOR the war expenses incurred by Spain.

SAVINGS BANK PROFITS.
Low Interest Has Materially De-
creased Incomes.

New York, March, ch'12.-Savings banks
are finding it difficult to keep up their
former rates of interest. Their choice
of investments is by law very limited.
and this limitation. while it increases
the security, necessarily lowers the
rate of profit. There may be said to
be a worldwide tendency toward low
er rates of interest, and in this move
ment the savings banks naturally
must take part. There is a feeling even
among the most conservative of the
saving bank officials here that there
must now be some enlargement in the
field of their lawful investment. Never
theless, they desire to guard against
too great liberality in this respect.
The question presented is one OF vital
interest to the 1136. 600 savings bank
depositors in this State, The bank Of
ficials have an association which 10
keeping a close watch on pending leg
islation proposed to amend the savings
bank laws Some of the bills are fa~
vored. others are opposed. For IN
stance, a bill to permit the banks to
lend money to the extent of % per cent
of the valuation instead OF % per cent.
as at present, is favored. although
President Rhoads of the State Saw
ings Bank Association, says that the
limit might be better put at 6O per
cent Mr.. Rhoads is also inclined TO
favor bill allowing the banks TO in

sees the danger that it might be the

corrupt character
