YELLOW JACKS VICTIM.
DeaIh of Col. George E. Waring, Jr.,
at His Home in New York, of
Yellow Fever.
He ARRIVED ON SUNDAY FROM HAVANA.
The Fatal Malady was Contracted While
Acting as Special Commissioner to In
vestigate tae sanItary Condition of Ha-
vana-The Body Theoretically Sealed
Up and Cremated at SwInburne Island

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Nicholas r.
Waring, Jr., died of yellow fever at his
home in this city, where he had been
since he arrived from Havana, on the
Yucatan, on Tuesday last. He was 81
years of age.
DIR. Blauvelt, who had been attend
ing Col. Waring during his illness,
was summoned to the house at 1 Il.
m. He found that Col. Waring had
been attacked with black vomit. This
symptom continued all morning with
out cessation. Everything possible
was done for the dying man, but he
only lived until 7:45.
The Body HermetIcaIIy Sealed Up.
President Murphy of the board of
health was informed of the death of
Col. Waring within five minutes after
it occurred. DR.. Rgers, the sanitary
superintendent, was ordered to have
the body placed in a hermetically
sealed casket Immediately. Mr.. Muir
ply also gave orders that every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease.
Fever Contracted While on OmcIaI Duty.
Col. Waring had been sent to the
city of Havana as a special commits
siOner of this government to ascertain
the exact sanitary conditions of that
city, and to form ideas fer the best
methods of putting the place in first
class sanitary shape. He was to re-
port to the president, and on the day
he returned he said he expected to go
to Washington the next day.
The Disease Didn't Develop Until His Re
turn Home.
Col. Waring was apparently well
when he left Havana, and he felt only
slightly i'll during the latter part of
the voyage, but when he reached his
home he was obliged to take to his
bed. 1t was then discovered that he
was suffering from yellow fever.
Col. Waring was Immediately isO-
lated in his apartments on the ninth
floor of the Rutherford, the apartment
house in which he lived. There are
nine families in the house.
Precautions Immediately Taken.
Precautions were Immediately taken
to prevent the spread of the disease.
No one but the physicians and Mrs.
Waring, who has had the disease, and
is therefore immune, were allowed to
see Col. Waring. Everything that was
taken in or out of the apartment was
disinfected. Inspectors of the board of
health were stationed at and in the
house to prevent people from getting
rear to the sick man.
The Doctors were at Fault.
The doctors at first did not think
that the case was a malignant one.
When Col. Warnings temperature rose
to 1854, However, the physicians be-
came alarmed, and the case was con-
sidered in its most serious form, and
Col. Waring was treated accordingly.
The Body Cremated.
President Murphy of the board OF
health states that the body of Col.
Waring Will be taken to Swinburne is
land, where it will be cremated imme
diately.
The father, mother, brother and
three sisters of Mrs. Waring died of
yellow fever in New Orlenas some
years ago.

THE CASE OF CAPT. DkEYFUs.
The Court of Cessation Obtains the Most
Absolute Control Over the Cello
bratcd Case.

Paris, Oct. 31.-By Saturdays deci-
sion the court of cessation obtains
the most absolute control over the
Dreyfus case. 1T can demand and eX-
| anime any documents whatever, in
Guiding the dossier, of any case bear
ing upon the Dreyfus matter, and can
examine under oath any witness, how
ever high his position.
In short, if the court makes a sim
| cere use of its powers, the truth will
have a much better chance of being
discovered than would have been the
case had it merely ordered revision be-
fore another court-martial, whose
members might have been actuated by
a desire to shield the general staff.
Having concluded It's inquiry, it can
present a new dossier to either a civil
or military court for the final deci-
sion. Its proceedings will not be pub
lie, and there can, therefore, be no OBJ
lection to a communication to it of
the alleged secret dossier, if this is
still in existence, while the numerous
generals who have expressed their be-
lief in the guilt of Dreyfus will now
be called upon to explain the grounds
of their convictions.
Although the liberation Ct Dreyfus
has not been ordered the court can or
der him brought back. to France at
any moment, and will probably do SO
at an early stage of the inquiry. The
court refrained from ordering his re-
lease on Saturday because it would
have been presumption of his inno-
cence.
Paul Deroulede, of the Patriotic
league, turned the patriotic manifes-
tatiOn at Laeourget yesterday in mem
ory of the soldiers who fell there in
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 into
revolutionary demonstration against
the decision of the court of cessation.
He delivered a violent anti-Dreyfus
speech.
MARCEL Habert, member of the
chamber of deputies, followed with a
still more inflammatory harangue.
There were, however, no disorders.
Count Esterhazy, it is reported, has
written to several generals demanding
money under threats of exposure.

Havana, Oct. 31.-CoI. Hecker snl
Col. Lee, of the United States special
transportation commission, received
Caolegrams from Washington last

Replies were Immediately cabled to
Washington. but up to the hour of fl
iugthis dispatch no rejoinder had been
received. thus leaving the matter of
Col. Hecker's departure doubtful.

change in the plans OF the war depart
ment. Gen. Wade and Lieut.-Col.

Sanford Littleton, the deposed chair
man of the board of public works of
Knoxville, has filed a petition in the
circuit court, seeking to have the action
of the city council set aside, to be re-
stored to his office and TO have the case
heard in the courts. Judge Sneed
granted Littleton a writ of certiorari
which permitted the case to be brought
into the circuit court, and also a writ of
supersedeas, which temporarily re-
stored Littleton to his Office pending a
final hearing of the petition. Littleton
alleges in his petition that he was ma
iciously prosecuted by certain members
of the city council. The council de
posed him for alleged fragrant violation
of his authority in Office.

Poultry Show.

The Mississippi Valley Poultry Asso-
citation is making extensive prepara-
tiOns for its show to be held at Memphis
in January. Many special premiums
are also offered, and the regular and
special premiums will aggregate 81, 500.
Competition will be open to the world,
but nothing but thoroughbred fowls
will be admitted for premiums. The
poultry show will take place January 8
to Z inclusive. The secretary has re-
ceived as many as 700 inquiries concern
ing the show, and these inquiries, with
the interest shown in other directions,
indicate that the exhibition will be a
very large one. Coops have been pro-
videded for 1000 birds, but it now looks
as if this would not be room enough.

time pastor of St. James Baptist Church
at Chattanooga, and who created a di-
vision in the church, carrying off a big
part of the congregation and forming a
