 Decrease in Interest.

Montgomery, Aug. 25.-(Special. )-Govern- or Johnston this afternoon telegraphed the secretary of war requesting that the Sec ond Alabama regiment be ordered at once to Montgomery to be mustered out of the service. The governor, before he took the step, assured himself that it was the desire of the privates of the regiment to return to private life. It is known that he has the case of the First Alabama under con- sideration at this time. There is no doubt but that the governors demand on Wash ington will be complied with. The action of the executive is universally approved here as it is evident that the regiment can not be given an opportunity to distinguish itself and it is desirable that the men should be brought home from Florida be- fore yellow fever or any other contagious disease reaches Miami.
 Montgomery Quarautines Acting Mayor D. B. Joseph has quaran- tined Montgomery against Tampa and Hillsboro county, and Key West, Fla. and last night officers began boarding trains to enforce the quarantine. It has been known for several days that yellow fever existed in the marine barracks at Key West, and there rumors that 1t has appeared at Tampa.
 1TSdl COHluSlOu WAS cduSco idSt Hi6hS by the officers closing the Montgomery and Jacksonville Pullman car from Jackson vile, and sending it through the city; no person on board being allowed to leave the car at Montgomery. There were num- Der of soldiers from Tampa aboard.
 Treasurers Office Examined The state examiner of accounts has ex- amined the office affairs of State Treasurer Ellis and today filed his report in the fol- lowing words:
 'I respectfully report that have exam ined the accounts of Hon. George w. Ellis, state treasurer, as to receipts and disburse- ments by him, on account of interest on the bonded indebtedness of the state from January 1, 1898, to June 30. 1898. My report of March IS, 1898, covers such transactions for the previous six months.
 I have compared the entries of receipts shown by his books. with corresponding entries in the anditor's books on account of warrants issued to pay interest and to these have added the balance due this fund from the previous six months. have ex- amined and checked each check paid on this account on registered bonds. I have also examined and checked the coupons paid on account of coupon bonds, checking such coupons as were paid by the American Exchange National bank. the states fiscal agent in the city of New York, with the several accounts forwarded to the treas- urer by such bank, and have also examined the vouchers for necessary expenditures other than the interest paid. and find said account as shown by the treasurers books as follows:
