The city council of Atlanta, Ga, has re-
pealed the ordinance prohibiting the play
ing of foot ball within the limits of that
city. Tne ordinance, was passed in the
midst of the excitement following the ac-
cidental death of University Of Georgia

nance to repeal 1t. He excused his incon-
sistency by saying that the rules of foot
ball had been radically changed and that

BEpFoRD MALlGNED.
Only Seven Cases of Smallpox Can Be
Counted There.

OItty bCYGu Gases OF etHttttiV& NotH 4SS
Counted There.
BEDFORD, PA, Dec. s-IndIgnatIon
was never greater than at the present
momept in Bedford. Indignation caused
by the reports that have been given the
press concerning The prevalence OF
smallpox in Bedford. Stories have gone
abroad that the whole town was AFFLICTED
with the dread disease, that the resi-
dents we're quarantined and barricaded.
Two hundred cases reported have dwin-
died down to seven. Two In the borough
and 1--WE outside within a radius OF ten
miles. These cases are conceded to be
smallpox in very mild form, though no
alarm has been felt by the citizens,
these patients being entirely under cons
troll and are not permitted To mingle
with other members OF the families. The
storles arising from interviews with DR..
w. b. Atkinson, OF Philadelphia, who
was sent here by the state board OF
health, are answered by DR.. w. T.
Hughes, an old practitioner and emin-
ent physician Of this district.
"The grossly exaggerated account OF
the smallpox scare In Bedford, given out
by Or. w. h. Atkinson, OF Philadelphia,
IL an outrage and an imposition upon the
people Of the community"
At a town meeting held this afternoon
a committee was appointed composed OF
town council and board OF health and
three prominent citizens, Judge NJ. Rey-
nolds was made chairman. The follow
Ing resolution was passed and voted that
It should be given 70 the press:
"The people Of this town have been
greatly startled by unfounded reports
concerning the prevalence here OF small
pox. No greater wrong to any COM
nuafty can be Imagined than that per-
petrated in this instance and deep indlg-
nation prevails among the people who
collected in an informal meeting this ar
tcrnOOn and severely denounced the
statements puTportlnG to come from DR..
Atkinson. There are two cases IN this
town and seven outside. Five families
in all being affected and these are en-
tlrely under care and control, DR.. At
ltlnson did not see more than the fiva
families stated and to say that one hun-
dred and thirty patients were under his
eyes Is entirely false. There Is not the
least alarm or apprehension felt among
the people and they are simply dazed at
the publicity given to these falsehoodS.
Tint some cases OF a peculiar skin az
fectlon have existed In different parts OF
the county may be admitted, but they
are not smallpox, and the town has been
guarded or Quarantlned as was pub
llshed."

ylyal OF the question Of reducing the

dian members of the high joint COM
mission nov in session in this city.

movement, and kilograms are being
sent to prominent lumbermen warning
them Of the threatened reduction.
representative Dayton to-day notified
a number Of his Constituents interested
in the question, and a combined effort
will be made to maintain the present
rate. it was believed the matter was
permanently settled at the quebec ses-
sion OF the commission. when Repre-
sentative Lawney was the outside rep
resentauye of the American interest.
The revival OF the discussion, however,
refutes this.
A prominent West Virginia operator
said tonight that while he had every
confidence in the American commission
ers, he would nevertheless remain here
TO look after the lumber interests. be-
cause while the duty might not be re-
duced to 81, It is possible for a reduction
OF 20 per cent to be effected. and this
could not be borne. The eject Of de-
clslon by tie commission. he said, is
lasting, because 1t would take the form
OF treaty. and could not be revised by
Congress- He regards the present tariff
as fair, and referred with some feeling
to the time when every lath Arm opera
ting on the West Virginia Central rail-
way was driven out OF business by the
Wilson bill. This paralysis was referred
to merely as an example. Senator
Faulkner is a member of the commls-
sIon.

DEWEY AND OTIS

Report q Notable improvement IN tho
Philippines Clerical Prisoners will
be Released.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s,-The navy
department has received a cablegram
from Admiral Dewey, summarizing the
existing conditions at Manila and sueh
points In the Philippines as have been
visited by his ofacera. Advices also have
been received from General Otis, the
commandant Of the United States mill

60 to show z notable Improvement In
conditions and the growth OF q better
spirit among those factions Of the ma
lives which promised TO give trouble.
This fact is particularly gratifying as
the United States government Is already
giving consideration to the best means
at hand to redeem the pledge Il will be
placed under by the treaty OF Paris 20
secure the release OF the Spanish prls-
oners held by the Phillppine natives.
There are about 500 clerical prisoners.
and the government Is confident that
captors Will deliver them up on proper
representation from General Otis ana
Admiral Dewey, made possible through
the consul, Wlldman. II may be neces-
sary to call the navy into this service for
the reason that some OF the prisoners
are held in captivity on other isianda
than Luzon, which can be reached best
ana most effectively by Admiral
Dewey's ships
Besides the clerical prisoners, the
Americans themselves hold nearly 1900
Spanish soldiers as prisoners, men
captured at the fall OF Manila. They are
actually on parole about the city and
the question Is how are they to be re-
turned to Spain. This must be settlad
by the peace commissioners in Paris.
