THE RAILROADS

-- Owing to the yellow fever cases at starkesyille, Miss, the Illinois Central rail- road vesterday took off all trains, freight and passenger, on their Aberdeen branch. This branch runs through West Point. and starksyille to the Aberdeen junction, near Durant.
 Tupelo and Holly Springs, Miss.,~ have both declared quarantine against the world, and refuse to let any passengers change ears there as they have been in the habit of doing This interferes very materially in the traffic of the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railway as all of their business from Birmingham to the north and west was done by changing passengers at one of these two places. At Tupelo the Kansas City road connects with the Mobile and Ohio, and at Holly Springs with the illinois Central.
 Travelling Passenger Agent Charley Jones of this road, however, is making every eff fort to have through passenger train put on between Birmingham and Kansas City, which can run passengers through Tupelo, Holly Springs, Memphis and all other quar- antined points without stopping, if neces- sary. He had not heard definitely from the officials of the road last night, but he ex- poets an answer to his request some time LIS morning.
 The Alabama Great Southern last night put on a through coach between Birming- ham and Shreveport, La, by way of Meridian. There is already sleeper run ming between these two points. This en- ables passenger to go from Birmingham to Texas by this route with only one change of cars, that in Shreveport. This car runs on the train leaving here at 1:35 o'clock at night, and not on the afternoon train
 General Manager Frank F. Cannon of the Southern and the Alabama Great Southern railroads arrived in the city from Wash ington last night.
 There was a smash-up of two freight cars on the Louisville and Nashville rail- road Wednesday night at a point above Decatur. Nobody was hurt, but the track was seriously blocked. In consequence, the southbound passenger train, due here at o'clock yesterday morning, did not ar- rive until nearly in the afternoon.

 Protest Against Guards
 Pel1in, October 6.-The three principal ministers of the Tsung Lii Yamen, or Chinese foreign office, visited the foreign legations today in an effort to persuade the ministers to -rescind the orders they have issued for an increase in the strength of their escorts or legation guards The Chinese ministers say the presence here of the foreign soldiers is likely to exasper- ate the Pekin populace, which Is now quiet.
 It is reported that the tactaci of Tien Tsin has refused to allow the passage of rapid fire guns except on the authority of the Tsung Lii Yamen. The European min- isters will hold conference today on the escort question.
 Chang Yin-Houan. the exiled member of the Tsung-Li-Yamen and opponent of u Hung Chang, who has been disgraced on the charge of conspiring against the dowager empress, started today for his place of ex le. He was in excellent spirits and hopes he will be reinstated in office at no far distant day. few cases of mud throwing have been reported, but they are merely the acts of idlers and vagabonds proclamation will be issued threatening the infliction of capital punishment upon any person insulting Europeans. It is now considered likely that there will be no fur ther disturbance of the peace.
 The Emperor Alive
 Washington, October 6-Such infor- nation as has reached the state de- partment respecting the reported death and assassination of the emperor of China goes to entirely dscredt stories that he has been poisoned or that he is dead. It is not possible to say positively just what sources of information are available, but it is known that they are regarded as en- trely reliable by the state department. Moreover, the situation generally In China is not believed by the department officials to be as serious as represented, and a sig nal mark of confidence is the decision not to follow the course of certain European governments in sending at this time force of soldier or marines to Pekin. The Bos- ton one of the two American warshps or dered to get as near as possible to the focus of disturbance, will go as far as the Taku forts, at the mouth of the Pang Ho river, where she must stop on account of her draught. The little gunboat Petrel, how ever, is expected to go eighty miles up the river to Tien Tsin and her steam launch night proceed from that point as far as Pekin if necessary.

The Maroon Case

Kingston, Jamaica, October 6-The Maroon case comes up for trial before tho St. Mary's district court tomorrow, the main issue being whether the civil law statute of limitation can override imperial treaty rights, under which the Maroons claim a disputed piece of ground. Some apprehension prevails, shared by the gov ernment and public, owing to the immense number Of unemployed and rotous negroes who are under secret directions from un- known leaders.
 These leaders are urging the Maroons to rebellion, with the view of creating public disturbance, by piliage and spoils A de- tachment of about 200 police was sent today to the scene of the possible disturbance, and two companies of white troops are fol- lowing as reserve.

Lieutenant-Co Colonel McWilliams, of the Fourth Illinois volunteers was in the city last night on his way from Jacksonville where his regiment is situated, to Illinois. He left at midnight last night. There has been a great deal of trouble among the officers of this reg iment growing out of the efforts that have beel made to have It mustered out. Colonel Arnold, who com manded the regiment, had a number of his officers placed under arrest charged with insubordnation, and they in turn had him arrested and courtmartfaled. The result of the trial was that the officers, chief among them being Lieutenant-Colonel Me Williams, were exonerated and Colonel Ar mold was relieved from command for six months on half pay. B

clared while they were in the river.
In the first place, Uncle Sam would
have a few ships near, IL not in, the
stream through sheer politeness. They
would lie between the Spaniards and
the city and keep them occupied in a
loud conversation so interesting that
suspend business very long. All the
ammunition that ships of their class
could carry would be needed for de-
Tense. Accepting the still more the
oretical supposition that there were no
United States ships in the harbor, and
that prudence would not dictate to
them to reserve their full strength to
run by the forts to sea, what damage
could they work? Data are lacking as
to the effect of a bombardment of.
city of high buildings by modern all
steel rifled cannon. Ships of the In
fanta and Vizcaya class should carry,
generally speaking, considerably over
100 rounds for each big gun. A fair
estimate would credit the two ships
with ability to fire, say, from $500 to
5000 heavy projectiles. No doubt they
could do enormous damage, though it
need not be supposed necessarily that
they would lay the city in ruins. But
there is a code in international law
which all nations have agreed to con-
strue strictly. 1t is that no lombard
ment of an unfortifled and undefended
town is permissible. Strictly speak
ing, New York as town is not forth
fed. The Notifications defend only its
approaches.
Could We Seize Them?
However, the Spanish ships, as a
matter of certainty, would not be

would steam past our Notifications and

Heavy and Gtrong Vessels.
Both ships in question are large,
their tonnage being about 1000 tons;
perhaps a little less. That Is about
the tonnage of our battleships Maine
and Texas. Each is $40 feet long, 65
feet in beam and draws 21h feet Of
water. The official figures show that
the Vizcaya made 20 $40 knots under
forced draught, but that she logs only
Is knots under ordinary conditions.
The ships are credited with carrying
exceedingly heavy guns, according to
British figures. The Infanta Maria,
according to this, mounts two 11-inch,
ten 5.5-inch, eight 2.2-inch quick firing
and eight 1.4-inch guns. The Vizcaya
carries two 11-inch, ten 5.5-inch quick
fire, two 2.7-inch, eight 2.2-inch and
four 1.4-inch guns. Each has six tor
pedo tubes. American naval officers
always have understood that these
ships carry only 9-inch guns, and even
this calibre was considered amply
heavy for the type of vessel. The
United States cruiser Brooklyn, which
registers over 5000 tons and is 400 feet
long, and in many respects twice as
powerful as the Spanish ships, carries
no gun larger than 8-inch. Both of
the Spanish ships were built in Bilbao.
Engines and all other parts, as far as
possible, we're of Spanish construction
throughout. The Spanish people had
demanded an increase in the navy, and
In 1890 the Infanta was finished and
launched. The Vizcaya followed her
