DEPOSED.

Brother Fabrician, who for the past
ten years has been the head of st.
Johns College, in Washington, has been
deposed from his Office by order OF
Brother Gabriel Marie, of Paris, the su
perior general of the Christian Brothers.
Brother Fabrician will conclude his
work in Washington and leave for
Paris about the middle OF August. Ac-
cording to his instructions he must pre-
sent himself before the General Council
or the Christian Brothers at Paris at
The earliest moment convenient. He
will then learn the labor to which he
will be assigned in the future. Brother
Fabrlcian is the ninth member of the
American brotherhood who has been
sent into exile as the result of the con-
troversy concerning the teaching Of
classics in Christian Brothers schools
in the United States. His departure is
universally regretted in Catholic and
educational circles in Washington. The
cause of the removal of Brother Fab
rician is under the general edict issued
about two years ego by Brother Gabriel.
Marie against the teaching of the clas-
sizes 10 the Christian Brothers schools
in the United States, and requiring that
only rudimentary instructions be given.
1t is said that there are about eleven
hundred of the Christian Brothers in
the United States subject to this order,
and many OF them have spent years Of
the most diligent work in the study OF
the classics for the purpose OF giving
instructions to the boys coming under
their charge.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence Of the klsxandris Gsss.t

Washington. July 81.
There is no doubt at the Surgeon
Generals office that the yellow fever
has broken out at the Soldiers Home
at Hampton aud that the malady Is in
its most virulent form. More than four
thousand soldiers are quartered in the
institution and the mortality, should
the contagion spread, would be fright
full. 1t is said that the fever was
brought to Hampton by sailor from
Santiago who had been drinking in the
saloons near the Soldiers Home; also
that it was conveyed by soldier from
Santiago who was being treated for
dengue fever. Some apprehension is
felt that the disease may possibly be
spread by the four thousand excursion

aud at Old Point and who have since
returned to their homes throughout the
country, DR.. Wyman this morning in

The Boycott at Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., July Sit was just
two weeks ago today that the second
street railway strike began. This
morning all is quite and cars are ruu-
ming regularly. The boycott which
has been declared upon the Conaolida-
ted Company and all who in any way
support it, is growing more severe. An
attempt was made to enforce the boy
colt upon the troops doing duty here.
Big grocery firms refused to ill orders
for supplies and restaurants turned
deaf ears to soldiers requests for
meals. A quick stop, however, was
put to this phase of the boycott, by
threats of the officers to jail every deal
or who should refuse to supply the
soldiers needs. The boycott on in.
dlviduels is more effective. BARRIERS re-
fuse 10 shave ''scab supporters. They
cannot buy cigars. No ones telephone
is open to them. The refusal OF g
drink OF water is common. The feel
ing OF business men is not one OF sym
pathy with the strikers, so much as
fear of losing their regular trade.
Lawyers are lOohluR up luo low w o0S

colt. Rev. Dr.. Banks, who has always
been champion of labor and one oil
the abest preachers 10 the country,
denounced the strike from the pulpit

So LACKING are some Northern peo'
pie in the ordinary proprieties OF social
life and SO intent are they on profting,
that they hasten to sell all they may
hear prominent say in private CONVEX
sation to any Northern newspaper,
equally as delinquent in nice feeling,
that will buy their victims secrets. 1t is
proved now that what Admiral Dewey
recently said, to the effect that the next
war in which this country would be
engaged would be with Germany, was
uttered in private conversation with an
American traveller he met socially in
Triest, and which he naturally sup
posed would never be heard of again.
