There is some doubt as to whether
or not yellow fever has actually ap-

while two deaths from that fever were
reported from Gen. Young's command,
he discredits the report that they are
cases of yellow fever, and has ordered
a cal efuI medical investigation.

OUR WEST INDIAN ISLANDS.
Some Small Affairs of Which We
Have known Little.

The de mands ofthe United States
upon Spain calls for the cession to the
United States, not only Of Porto Rico,
but of all the other West Indian is
lands except Cuba. The average man
knows of but the two great Spanish
islands, Cuba and Porto Rico, but
there are about dozen others, some
of them unimportant, but others re-
garded as quite valuable.
These islands are off the coast of
Cuba and Porto Rico. The greater
number of them are near Cuba's
shore, ARD it will bea question for de-
cision whether they shall belong to
the United States by the terms Of the
treaty, or whether they shall be con-
sidered as a part of Cuba. For the
most part these islands are like the
reefs of Florida and the Bahamas
Some of them are of calcareous origin,
being the creation of the same coral
builders that may be seen through the
transparent waters still at work on
the marine bed. These keys vary
greatly in size. Some of them are is
lands large enough to be habitable.
with fresh water for the consumption
of those who choose to make them
their dwelling place. The largest of
these reefs on the northern shore is
the Cayo Romano, with an estimated
aren of 100 square miles, and it's sur
face broken by three hillocks. The
chief industry there and indeed the
ony one that will thrive, is that of
gathering salt The island is filled
During the storms the waves dash
over the keys and leave the depres-

VANISHING OF THE POPS.
Few Men LEFT, the Others
Have Recome Democrats.

In the Populist National Convention of 1896,
the second and probably the last TO be held by
the Populist party as such, there was consider
able friction between the fusionists who favored
the Endorsement OF Bryan and the Middle-of-
the-ltoad men, who were opposed to such q
course, and insisted on keeping up the Populist
organization. In the roundup Of the two forces.
of the 1868 votes cast. 1,O42 went for Bryan
and 32l for his opponent. Judge Norton. Tho
strongest support of the latter came from tho
irreconcilable Populists of Georgia, who persist
emily refused to have anything to do with tho
Democrats. and vigorously objected TO any
Endorsement of Bryan. AS n result. two factions
of the party were established, one favoring fusion
with the Democrats and one favoring a separate
party existence. The latter are the Middle-of.
the.Itoad men, who promised at one time to be
very formidable and are the real, true blue,
genuine, unconditional Pops.
Atprescnt the Middlc-of.the- Road men are fall
ing steadily behind. In Iowa, for instance. where
Gen. Weaver. the first Populist candidate for
the Presidency. polled 10000 votes in 1892. and
where the straight.out Populists polled "a. 900
votes in 1894, the Middle oEthe.ltoa Populists
Mt the election of last November had $500
votes. In New York, where there were 10000
Populists before the election OF 1890. the party
land, in Which at one time it seemed likely that
tho Populist party would make some head, IT.
fell out of the list Of parties last year. In Ohio
tho rcdoubtable CoXey pollcd for Governor OF
the State in the election of 1895, one year be-
fore the Presidential election, 1000 votes. He
ran again in November last for the same Office
and poled 500 votes. In the election OF 1904 for
Governor of tho state OF tennessee the distin-
guished Southern PoDulist known AZ Judge
Minis, n Populist who Ind Presidential aspira.
tions in 1896. po!lcd 23.OS2 votes. When no
ran for tho same office in 1896 his vote was
IL .90O-lcss than onc-hulf.
The main trouble with the Middle-of-the-foa
Pops seems to be the simple one thnt there are
not enough of them to count. They seem TO DO
no better able to make recruits than to retain
the support OF those who have already become
their recruits. In the mining States generally
the Populists have been absorbed into the Demo-
cratic party. They have no separate existence
as Populists, and the Hllurements of the Middle
of.the.ltoad leaders seem to have no attraction
for them. In the Presidential election OF 1892
the Democratic vote Of Nevada was only 700
for Cleveland, and the Popullst ran no ticket.
In 1896. the Democrats indorsed Bryan, and the
true-blue Middle-of.the-Itoad Populists ran
their own ELECTORAL ticket; z 800 was the vote
for Bryan as a fusionist. $40 was the vote for
Bryan as 2 p3pgiis1t; There are no Middle,of;
IL before the Congressional elections OF this year
there would be no Middle-of-thc.ltoad men out
side OF the South.

A GREAT HELP TO SURGERY.

Discovery OF n Young Surgeon Announced TO
tho Academy or Medicine.
At tho last regular meeting of the Academy Of
Medicine q young physician. who has made
rapid strides in his profession, read a paper on
Intestinal Irrigation The paper was Illus
trntcd BY nm exhibition Of the appliances used
by tho physician in irrigating the intestincs.
The appliances, it seems, are Of his own inven-
ton, and by their use physicians arc now en-
abled TO accomplish results in the treatment of
intestinal troubles which before tho young doc
tor began his experiments were difficult, and In
many cases impossible. to accomplish.
Briefly. the appliance invented by the young
doctor Is this: To tho pipe of an ordinary foun-
tain syringe he has attached two noZzles.
Through one of these the irrigating stream
passes. and from tho other the water used in the
irrisating process flows out. By the use Of
these two nozzles and by keeping the reservoir
of the syringe filled. an Uninterrupted flow Of
water may be maintained.
When the reading of the paper was concluded
It was discussed by some Of the best known ply.

that we have the result Of these experiments
and this invention, we noed no longer fear death

a solution Of salt in water. When l learned OF
the result of his experiments l procured one of
hts syringes fitted with the double tube. have
used this in twelve or fourteen cases in the hos

alton performed. l would open a vein and irri-

was evident that tho animal wanted protection,
but Welsh, having no use for deer, allowed the
animal to 20 away.
