A Medical journal ON Yellow Fever.


The New Orleans Medical and Sur
gical journal for October says: 1T is
evident that the mass of the people
have not experienced that panic that
usually follows an announcement OF
yellow fever. The extreme mildness
of the disease everywhere last year,
and where it has prevailed so far this
year, has done a good deal to reassure.
The general public is learning that
the malady has lost its virulence, and
that as a result also of modern and
non meddlesome medication il is not
to be dreaded more than other infec-
tious diseases which attract no atten-
ton. In many places quarantine has
been established as necessary obi

Four Arkansas Negroes Fired on Him
 From Ambush.

Little Rock. Ark. Feb. 24.-E. G. Massey, a prominent citizen and con- stable of Franklin township, Little River county, was murdered six miles from Ashdown last night by Ned AL len and his son and two negroes. whom he was trying to arrest. Mas sey was shot from ambush, his lungs being torn from his body by bullets Massey had previously arrested Char ley Johnson, Aiken's son-in-law, for carrying pistol, and Johnson had es- capped. About midnight Constable Massey and Richard Dickens, dep uty. started to Aiken's house to arrest Johnson. When near the house the of ficers were fired upon from ambush, and Massey fell from his horse, his body riddled with buckshot and Win chester balls. The negroes rushed from cover and opened fire upon Dickens, but he put spurs to his horse and escaped. Excitement runs high, and a lyRching is probable if Aiken and Johnson are captured.

LEW WALLACE CHALLENGED.
Reflections on General Mcclellan Bring Forth Deman for Duel.

Lebanon, Ind, Feb. 24.-General Lew Wallace has been challenged to duel by George B. Oakes of Indian apolis. During an address delivered here on Lincoln day, in which he was relating "reminiscences or the great emancipator, General Wallace told hitherto unpublished story refecting on the courage of General Mcclellan. It was in short that Lincoln had made a special trip to Harrison's Landing after the Seven Days battle to keep Mcclellan from surrendering to the confederates. Oakes served under Mo Clellan and heard Wallace's speech. In a letter to the general Oakes de- nounced the story as untrue, and asks the general to meet him upon the field of honor at such time and place and with such weapons as the general may choose. The affair has caused much excitement throughout the state.

Wichita, Kan, Feb. 24.-An assem- bly, of farmers and business men from several counties along the Ar kansas river was held here to discuss means whereby the Rocky Ford and other irrigation companies in Colo rado can be compelled to cease taking water from the Arkansas river for ir- rigation purposes.
 Several communications from places along the river from as far as Little Rock. Ark. were read. Committees were appointed to take different meth ods of action under advisement, and J. F. Houston was retained as legal counsel. Should the action be success full, much land in Colorado that has been cultivated under irrigation will be rendered utterly useless. It is ba- lieved there is some small chance for success, and every stone will be turned to bring this about

WILLING TO DO MANY THINGS
Which Would Have Been
 SCOrned Two Weeks Ago
The Consideration of the Case of Henry w. Cerbett, the Appointed Senator from Oregon was Be.un In the Senate Yesterday

Washington, Feb. 24-The house day, and disposed of thirty additional pages of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The fact that the government is preparing for contingencies was recog- nized in the house today when Chair man Cannon, who has been 1aboring to keep down the appropriations, ac cepted without word of protest an amendment to increase the appropria- tion to care for the unused machinery at the Springfield arsenal.
 MT. Gillette explained that the ne cessity for using the machinery might occur at any time. Resolutions which were objected to a few weeks ago for the appointment of two extra naval cadets to positions in the engineers corps of the navy were also adopted. One of them will fill the vacancy caused by the death of Assistant En- gineer Merritt of the Maine.
 THE SENATE.
 Washington, Feb. 24.-The feature of the senate session today was the speech of Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin on the right of Henry w.

Corbett and had not concluded when the sen- ate adjourned.
 An effort was made to obtain con- sideration of the Alaska homestead and railway right of way bill, but on a parliamentary technicality it went over. The resolution offered yesterday by MT. Allen of Nebraska to appoint a committee of five senators to investi- gate the Cuban situation was with drawn by it's author.

ROBBER USES X RAYS.
Mary O'Keefe Tells Justice Sabath a
 Strange Story.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-To hide her mon- ey from an X ray fiend, who is alleged to have contemplated robbery, has be- come the life study of Mary O'Keefe, a housekeeper in the home of Patrick Foley at 963 Austin avenue. She had S60 in many different places, but her efforts were in vain. She says the malignant manipulator of the Roent- gen light hired a room near by and trained the searching rays on the spot where her treasures lay hidden, mak- ing the cash as visible as the monday sun. Neither slipper nor stocking, dark closet nor bureau, proved imper- vious to the scientist who would rob.
 The inevitable came at last. The housekeeper lost her money. Not by means of the X ray, however. She claims she thwarted the thief, who -,tilized the Roentgen rays, but a mis- chievous boy outwitted her.
 In detailing her story to Justice Sabath yesterday she said little Matt, the 9-year-old son of MT. Foley, one day secured her $60 and scattered it broadcast in the backyard. The man with the X ray equipment was, of course, looking on, and she declared he quickly came and gathered up the shekels.
 The woman's narrative was a pug gle to the court and lawyers. The jus tice thought she was certainly suffer ing from delusions. She had sued Foley for the $60 lost. Except in re- gard to the X rays-which she de scribed, but could not name-the wo- man seemed rational. It was shown she had $60 saved, and it is supposed she lost this sum about the time MT. Foley discharged her, because of ec- centricities she had developed.
 The justice dismissed the case against Foley and suggested that the police have the question of the wo- mans sanity inquired into.

JUDGE KoTzE's DISMISSAL.
Much Rlarm Caused in South Africa
 by Kruger's Act.

London, Feb. 24.-A dispatch from Cape Town to the Daily Mail says that the dismissal of Chief Justice Kotze has caused alarm and apprehension throughout South Africa, irrespective of political or racial feeling, excepting the Hollander clique. The administra- tion of justice in the Transvaal is gen. orally regarded as having been reduced to farce. Some persons contend that the suzerain power ought to intervene on the ground that the grave scandal is a danger to British interests.
 New York, Feb. 24-A Pretoria dis patch to the Sun says: Ex-Judge Kotze, who was on Wednesday dis missed from office for protesting against the relations between the ex- ecutive and judiciary in connection with law passed year ago, has writ ten to President Kruger declaring that he still regards himself as chief jus tice of the supreme court of the South African republic. He disputes the presidents power to dismiss him, and

Washington, Feb. 24-An Evening Star cablegram from Charles Pepper, it's staff correspondent in Cuba says: At this writing divers are developing important results. From examination of the interior of the wreckage they have secured evidence which seems conclusive the explosion came from underneath the ship. Some of the smaller magazines may have exploded. The Maine's ten-inch magazine did not explode. The condition of the in terior of the ship shows a further probability of the wreck having been due to outside forces"
 HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
 Washington, Feb. 24-The navy de partment has not been informed Of the probable length of time to be oc- cupied by the court of inquiry in its work. Such court, it is said, has the greatest liberty of action, much greater than court martial, which is strictly limited by naval regulations Of course it is possible the court will leave Havana in the course of a day or two for Key West to take there the testimony of such surviving officers and men as are now quartered in Key West.

Washington, Feb. 24.-At the Span ish legation much interest is mani fested in the developments attending the Maine inquiry and the earnest hope is expressed that the conserva- tive element will not be influenced by reports which by the Spanish legation are regarded as untruStwOrthy. MT. DuBosc and staff are maintaining a calm attitude and are seeking to al lay everything which might infiame public sentiment
 The Spanish cruiser Vizcaya prob ably will sail tomorrow for Havana. That, however, is a matter wholly within the discretion of Captain Eu- late. It is probable that she would have gone before this time if it were not for the misleading impression which an early departure might oc- casion. Reports received today at the legation speak gratefully of the courtesies shown to officers and men of the Spanish ship.
