CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER
 Dc Has Been Discovered by Dr.. Ed
 win kIebs. NOT BACILLUS BUT AMOEBA He Finds the Germ To Be-Made Experiments Tn the Stomach and Other Parts
 of Mobile Patients.

Chicago, March 5.-The Times-Herald will say tomorrow: Dr. Edwin Klebs, profess sor of pathology and basteriology in the post graduate medical school has discov- cred the cause of yellow fever. As re' suit of series of experiments extending over two months, he has isolated the amo- eba which is without doubt responsible trace its development through a number of stages in the various organs of the body.
 Prof. Klebs made his experiments in the stomach, duodenum and liver of two pa tients who had died of the fever in Mo- bile.
 Thematerial was sent him by Dr. Her man Mohr, of that city, The professor first sought for the baccillj known as Lan- arelli's and Sternbergs, but found no trace of them at all. He then went to work OF his own account and by the aid of special dye composed of fuchsine, methylene blue and mothyl green he succeeded in isolat- ing the desired germs.
 The germ is not bacillus but amoeba It causes inflammation of the stomach when swallowed and then in the dueode- mum it assumes a true sporating form, ap- bearing here much like a blackberry. From there it migrates to the liver where 1t appears as a large structureless body about twice the size of the red blood cor pusci Its effect is rapid degeneration of the liver cells
 While Prof. Klebs is confident he has obtained the yellow fever germ he will not make any scientific claim in this direction until he has been able to obtain live germs and make cultures and animal experiments with them.

MURDERED IN PRISON.
A Convicts Stays His Wife, Who Was Visiting
 Him.

r New York, March 5.-Adrian Braun, a convict in Sin Sing prison, murdered his wife, who was paying him a visit at the prison this afternoon. Braun was serv- ing a two years sentence for assault.
 He was convicted of having beaten his wife but notwithstanding this Mrs. Braun forgave her husband and expressed sorrow because of his imprisonment. She has been living in New York city with her children. Braun had been serving in the mess room, acting as a potato peeler. When the two met they kissed each other and were friendly.
 They sat for half an hour conversing only few feet away from the desk of De- tective Jackson, who was present Fin ally Detective Jackson informed Braun that his time was up, but Braun pleaded for little time longer.
 Because of the trouble Mrs. Braun had taken to pay her husband a visit, the plea was granted. J Suddenly Braun raised his arm and the, detective saw the glitter of a long thin knife. Braun brought it down with fearful force against the left side Of his wifes neck. One cut severed the great blood vessels and almost instantly the woman was dead,
 < Detective Jackson sprang upon Braun, but the convict had time to gash the wo- mans head several times more. Two other convicts who were in the corridor came to the detectives assistance and the mur- derer was subdued. Warden Sage had him removed to the death house, but not, how ever before another knife similar to the one he had stabbed his wife with was fourd concealed in his pocket.
 Warden Sage questioned Braun as to why he killed his wife, but the man re- fused to say anything.

 HiICIllOt

Junea, Alaska, March 5.-That the Roths- childs will attempt to build railroad to the Yukon is now believed to be certain. The steamer Walcott. which arrived here last night landed a party of over forty men and equipments for railroad building at Pyiamid harbor. near the Pyramid had- bor salmon cannery.
 5. Onderdonk, the engineer in charge of the party and of the construction, imme- diately ordered the men to locate and build houses upon the land near the can nery.

 The transactions were all accomplished In the name of H. Bratnober, who is known to be the mining expert and mineral pur- chasing agent of the Rothschilds. and who few weeks ago left for London to con- suit with the Rothscholds and to arrange with the Canadian government for the privilege of crossing their territory.
 MT Ordendonk reports that the grades are several per cent. less the Dalton trail than on the Canadian Pacific, and that the climatic difficulties are no moro difficult to overcome. It is said here by those who accompanied Brantnober on his expedition to the interior that he thinks that in several places where excavations for railroads are necessary enough low grade ore will be loosened to finance many miles of construction.
