Merritt viii Send Them to Long
Island Sound-0ne Case
at Phoebus.

WASHINGTON, August 3-The Mar
Inc Hospital officials at Hampton have
succeeded in tracing the former inmate
of the Soldiers home believed to have
brought the yellow fever to thai
place.
: He is William Thomas, who came to
the homo from Santiago. He had chills
and fever and no doubt mild case OF
yellow fever, although it was not dag
nosed as such at the time. When well
enough to travel he went to Columbus
City. Washington, where he now is.
PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED.

The Soldiers Home situation at Hamp-
ton is practically unchanged. Cover

developed into fever.
GOING TO PLUM ISLAND.
WASHINGTON, August 3.-Another
change was made today in the destina-
tion of the troops at Fort Monroe.
General Merritt telegraphed the war
department that in Difference to the
earnest recommendation of Surgeon
General Wyman he would direct that
the troops be sent to Plum Island, Long
Island Sound. The quartermasters's
department is experiencing consider
able difficulty in making arrangements
for the transportation OF the Fort Mon
roe garrison. 1t is likely that the trans
port Mcclellan, now at New York, will
be sent to take the troops away.

WHAT DANfORTH HEARD
The New York Democrat Has Been IN the
South
AND TALKED TO THE MEN OF TUE PARTY
NATIONAL Convention VIII ProbobIs
lie Held In n Western city,
but Not In Chicago.

New York, December 27.-Elliot Dan
forth. chairman of the democratic STATE
committee. returned to New YORK TO-DAY
after trip through the South, during
which he talked with Senator James ~
Jones, chairman OF the National commit
tee. and most OF the chairmen of the
Southern democratic State committees
This afternoon Mr. Danforih gave an
Evening Post reporter the result oil MIS-
observations and some information about
next years National campaign.
81 found he said, THAT the sentiment
was generally in favor of the selection OF
some Western city other than Chicago as
tho place for holding the National conVen-
ton. The members OF the National COM
mittee have strong feeling against Chi
cago on account. OF the treatment they
have received from the newspapers there
since they established headquarters in that
city in 1896. 1t looks now as II either MIL
waukee or Kansas City will secure the
National convention; Milwaukee seems to
be In the lead. 1t has an auditorium with
a seating capacity of $1,000, and the citi-
zens have offered to entertain the dele
gates handsomely.
81 also discovered that there is gen
eral feeling of establishing the headquar-
tiers of the National committee next year
in Washington. Senator Jones favored
Washington in 1896, but gave way to Mr..
Bryan who was in favor OF Chicago In
my trip through the South I observed one
thing which will be considered OF par
ticuar interest in New York, namely, that
none of the leaders seemed disposed TO In
sist on free silver as the main issue Of
the campaign next year They did not say
that they had abandoned the 16 to idea.
but they acknowledged that the situation
had changed since 1896 and that the DOM
inant issues next year were trusts and i'm
periaiem; that Is TO say. they are unwill-
ing to repudlate the Chicago platform but
they see that new issues of far-reachng
Importance have come up and that theIf
choice should be recognized. Even IN,
States like North Carolina / found that
the antitrust and anti imperialism
ideas engaged the attention of the people
more than the free silver issue. In fact,
might sum up my observations by saying
thar the sentiment of democracy in the
South is such that / am confident there
will lie no great trouble in bringing about
a union of the democrats of the whole
country next year. The democratic Ma
tional convention Mr.. Danforth added
will be held a short time after the repub-
lican convention according 10 custom. No
matter when 1t Is Held. there is no doubt
about the head of the ticket. Everywhere
! heard only Mr.. Bryan's name mentioned
They are not talking about candidates for
vice president yet. An Eastern man will
probably be selected
