has not decided to join in the hostili-
ties but council is now being held on

FL pdso Is Ali Right.

A gentleman in from the Dallas Fair
this morning said there was q great
crowd in attendance and all seem to be
enjoying themselves. In regard to the
eastern towns of this state he said: Il
have been in q great many of the
towns in eastern Texas and find them
to be very dull. At Fort Worth bust
ness is practically at standstill.
After making this trip
must confess that Ell PasO is a
very lively town. Prosperity is evil
denced on all sides and the people
seem confident that it is going to con-
tinue. One thing l must cay Ell Paso
is lacking in, and that is the street car
service. The mule car line is giving
the town a very black eye with visitors
and, besides, mule power op street car
has long been abolished by enterpris-
ing cities and should be abolished
here''

NEW YORK, October 8. 1S98.-
The spread of yellow fever in the
south, especially Mississippi, is the
subject of an editorial discussion in
the Herald The outlook is for pos
sible widespread epidemic. The Her
aid says is serious. The Herald advises,
now that it is proven that the Mississi-
ppi state authorities are incapable OF
controlling the matter, that the health
officers of the general government es-
tablish a national quarantine which
will speedily bring order out of chaos.
The marine hospital service should
lose no time in getting to work.

More Time for Evacuation Not
Needed

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-The Journal
and Tribune comment editorially this

thence does not and should not endure
forever If the claim is made that
more time is needed than that already
given by the American commissioners
it is inconsistent with common sense.
