NO FEAR OF
 YELLOW FEVER President Moody of State Board
 of Health VERY SANGUINE OF ESCAPE From Return of the Dreaded Disease This Year-He Gives Some Interesting Views on the Subject-0n an h.
 formal Visit.

Dr. H. A. Moody, president of the state board of health, spent yesterday in the city, and was the guest of Dr. E. P. Sholl.
 Dr. Moody was recently elected president of the Alabama Medical association, and also occupies the chair of materia medica of Alabama at Mobile, where he resides in the winter, having his summer home at Bailey Springs.
 pr. Moody believes that the south will not have return of the yellow fever this year, and gives excellent reasons to sup port his opinion. He was seen by an Age- Herald reporter yesterday and said:
 "I am of the opinion that we need have no fear of the return of yellow fever this year. Five weks of hot weather in the extreme southern portion of the south, without any indications of a return of the disease puts at rest the theory that was held by some persons that the germ had survived the winter and would again de- velop with the return of hot weather
 Statistics show that we seldom have a return of the disease the following year, because of extraordinary precautionary measures, and with all communication with Havana and Cuba under the strictest mili- tary surveillance, which I consider by far the best of all systems, I think that we have little cause to fear another exipemic
 "The general health of the state is ex- ceptionally good, and especially the south- ern portion, where the death rate is ex- tremely low"
 Dr. Moody is most affable gentleman and stands in the uppermost ranks of his profession. His visit to this city was mere- ly of an informal nature to consult with members of the state board who reside here He returned to his home on the af- ternoon train.

 The diplomas were then delivered to the class by Dr. J. H. Phillips. who feeliRgiy addressed the class upon the severance Of the relations of teacher and pupil and con- veying the well wishes of the board and faculty to each graduate. The diplomas of the two absent members were tied with the national colors and were referred to by pr. Phillips, who eulogized their patriotism in going to the front.

A SMALL FIRE
In Drummond's Veterinary Hospital Said to Fe
 Work of lncendiary.

A small fire occurred in Fourth avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, yesterday afternoon about $40. It was in the upper story of R. H. Drummond's vet erinary hospital. and was easily extln- guished by the hose carriage
 MT. Drummond states that he is almost positive the fire was of incendary origin. Only a few hours before he had forced the tenant of this upper floor to move out for non-payment of rent. Only few minutes before smoke was seen coming out of the windows, the tenant had returned to his room for the purpose, it was supposed, of removing some of his belongings. He was drunk at the time, and it was supposed he set the place on fire.

Movement of spanish Fleet.

Madrid, May 19.-4 p. m.-In spite of the veto placed upon the publication of Span fsh naval movements, the newspapers here have been allowed to announce that Ad- miral Comara's squadron, consisting of the battleships Pelayo. the first-class armored cruiser Carlos V., the auxiliary cruisers Patriota and Rapido, formerly the Ham, burg-American line steamers Columbia and Normannia, the cruiser Alfonso XIII, the cruiser Antonio Lopez, three torpedo boat destroyers and the armed yacht Glralda, will shortly sail from Cadiz; while the re- serve squadron, consisting of the vittoria, Numancda, Lepanto and another vessel, will be organized immediately.
 An official dispatch received here today from Havana says that some American ships fired eighty shots during the reported recent bombardment of Santiago de Cuba, but no damage was inflicted. The dispatch adds that the batteries at Santiago de Cuba replied to the fire of the ships, and that one of the latter was damaged.

Banks and Miller Are Against Yard and
 Coleman.
A BITTER FIGHT BETWEEN THEM
The First Two Aggregate 1882 Votes and the Other i7.l2-Ballot Box Stuffing Stop ped = How Candidates Are
 Swapping Votes.

By long odds the most exciting day of the convention which is to nominate judge of the Tenth Judicial circuit came to close last night, no nomination having been made.
 But two combinations were formed, which promise to offer speedy solution today. Banks, who has 11.53 votes, and Miller, with S.S5 votes, are combined on the one side with an aggregate of 1888 votes against Ward, with 12,S1 votes, and Coleman, with 4.S votes, the two aggregating 1712 votes, on the other. As it takes 1851 votes to nominate, 1t will be seen that the former combination has the advantage.
 All day yesterday the Ward and Coleman delegates swapped their votes. Ward get ting about 17.12 votes on one ballot and Coleman getting about 17.12 on the next.
 The Banks and Miller delegations are exchanging votes, but not as heavily as the other two candidates. From the ballots it appears that the number of votes ex- changed is increasing one on each ballot, and if this Is kept up there is no doubt that either Banks or Miller will be nominated, though the Ward-Coleman delegates are doing all in their power to break the iron bound combination.

THE BOARD OF ARBITRATION

The 1bht between the Birmingham Rail- way and Electric company and the Bir- mingham Traction company seems to be as far from a settlement as ever, at least by the two parties themselves.
 The board of arbitration which has been appointed seems useless for want of any thing to arbitrate. No disputed questions have as yet been submitted to them
 The officers of the Electric company state that the Traction company agreed, and that they can prove it by several mem bers of the board of aldermen, to arbitrate the matter of the crossing on Eleventh avenue and Nineteenth street, and that yesterday the Traction company came out in a card refusing to arbtrate the dispute at this point.
 They further state that the officers of the Traction company wrote letter Wednes- day demanding that a crossing of the tracks of the Electric company on Second avenue, be granted to their company on Nineteenth street. the idea being to con- meet with the Highland Avenue and Belt railway at First avenue and Nineteenth street This the Electric company refused to do, saying that is was an entirely new proposition and one which had never been considered as part Of the proposed arbl- tration
 Traction Companys New Scheme
 The new scheme of the Traction com pany is as follows:
 They want to cross the electric ear tracks at Second avenue and join with the North Birmingham line at First alley. The North Birmingham tracks are the same along here as the Highland Avenue and Belt rail- way The Traction company then proposes to run it's cars in Nineteenth street to First avenue, up First to Twenty third street and .s.I f1,A inc ham tracks to Eighth avenue, thus making a big loop around which to run their trains.
 Ifsis possible that the North Birmingham car will. be run around the same loop in the opposite direction, but this has rot been settled upon
 The following statement signed by Alex T. London, president of the Traction com pany was given out yesterday and explains in full his side of the question.
 MT. London's Explanation
 IS omuch has been said and written about the street railroad war that 1t is with much reluctance that I go into the newspapers, but there is one matter that has been so consistently brought into 1t that deem it due to myself that I should make it plain. l refer to the use of the tracks of the Highland Avenue and Belt Railroad on Eleventh avenue, South, be- tween Nineteenth and Twentieth streets.
 '4 have no official connection with the Highland Avenue and Belt Railroad com pany except as director and attorney. I have large pecuaxry interest in the Traction company, and the North Birm- ingham Street Railroad company. These last named companies have no connection with the Highland Avenue and Belt rail- road, and except myself, no stoclxholder of either of these companies is a stockholder in the Highland Avenue sSd Belt railroad.
 Last November when I spoke to MT. Jemison about crossing for the Traction company af Woodlawn. he informed me that he thought that 1t could be arranged if I, as attorney for the Highland Avenue

Ambitions japan.

DR.. William n. Abercrombie. who
has been consul at Nagasaki for the
last eight years. has just returned
from his post. having been succeeded
by @. B. Harris of Indiana. He says
there is very ugly feeling toward for
eigners all through Japan, and 1t is
now displayed toward Americans, who
have been exempt from prejudice un-
I'll recently. The cause OF the hostility
is difficult to define, but 1t is usually
attributed to the resentment felt by
the japanese people against Russia
and Germany for Interference In their
affairs with China and Korea, and al
so to a patriotic spirit and vanity. The
rapid development Of the Mikado's en-
pire has made his subjects very con-
ceited, and their victory over China
has made them feel so cocky that they
want to fight again. The belligerent
tendency is so pronounced that DR..
Abercrombie says 1t viii be difficult
for Japan to keep out of a war with
Russia. Two ministers have been
compelled to resign because they set
tied disputes by diplomacy instead Of
arms, and peace is very unpopular.
