TEN YELLOW FEVER CASES.
Washington Officials at Sea As to
Their Origin.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The marine
hospital service was officially advised
today of the ten new cases of yellow
fever which have been discovered at
Orwood. Miss. The officials are at sea
as to the origin of the fever. and have
20 definite theory to work upon. They
are endeavoring to trace the cases
There is a possibility that the vic
Tins brought the germs in their clothes
to Orwood from some point heretofore
infected. but the nearest one is Dur
rant. where the epidemic touched last
year. and even on this theory the warm
weather should have brought out the
fever.
Orwood is far from railroad, and
the fever. therefore, might not have
been brought by that means. A thor
ough investigation is to be made. There
is no disquieting news from any other
point save Orwood.

GERMAN DWELLING.

Considerable excitement has been
caused in German circles by an order
on the duelling question just issued by
the Hereditary Prince of Sake einin-
gen as commander of the Sixth army
corps in Silesia. The chief burgomaster
of the town of Gleiwitz, who had been
involved in differences with the second
burgomaster, an officer of the reserve,
declined to accept a challenge to duel
sent him by his colleague. The officers
of the garrison, in accordance with the
traditions of the Prussian army, ap-
parently considered that the conduct
of the chief burgomaster obliged them
to break off all social relations with
him. The Hereditary Prince of Sake
Meiningen has, however, directed the
officers of his army corps Ito continue
to show their respect for Burgomaster
kreideL" In certain army corps the
order of the commander is regarded al
most with CONSERVATION; but, on the
other hand, it is pointed out that it is
useless for the reichstag to pass resoIu-
tons, and for the emperor and his min
lister of justice to issue instructions
against duelling unless those whose To-
cal influence is authoritative see to it
that the refusal TO fight a duel is not
punished with social ostracism.

In confiction with the question of COM

Daily Mail tells the following story: In
1864 there was no cable between Europe
and America. Our transatlantic news.
even during the exciting episodes of the
civil war, was always about fortnight
old. The attempt to make a cable con-
nectiOn had ended disastrously, and in this
junction of affairs was organized a gigan-
tic enterprise. looking to the connection
of the United States with Europe via

clans and telegraphic experts had made
up their minds that forty miles, which
was the distance acruss the strait, repre-
scented the longest distance a submarine
cable could be successfully worked. 4
company was formed. and what was
known in those days as Russian Exten-
sion stock went off at a premium of go
per cent. IN 1865 the line between New
Westminster and the Yukon river was sur
veyed, found to be practicable and trav-
ersed completely the present Klondike re-
gion. The line was expected to be finish
ed in 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at Go $3.50 per message. The
receipts were estimated to yield about So

constructed for New Westminster along
