is ''the poorest in relative wealth." The ap- plication is made with the courage and di- rectness of the genuine educational reform CT, to the state of Alabama, which he as- serts has lover three times the illiteracy that Is the average of the nation, and pos sesses about one-third of the proportionate wealth." It Is only necessary to follow one thoroughly illluerate workman through one day of his ordinary life to realize not only the inconvenience and personal loss from the inability to read language or figures, but the perpetual temptation to that peculiar mixture of shame and pride which gradually places him at odds with all the superiority above, and in sympathy with all the mental and moral inferiority below himself.

DISCUSS MODES
 OF QUARANTINE
Southern Doctors Meet in Con-
 vention at New Orleans.
MANY DELEGATES ATTEND
Amendments to Atlanta Agreement of April l2 Last Were Adopted-Dr. G. W. Scott Elected President
 and Dr. Patton Secretary.

New Orleans February 9.-The convention of delegates from the various gulf states, representing the boards of health and the commercial bodies, met in this city today for the purpose of considering certain amendments to the Atlanta agreement of April 12 last. These changes are considered necessary in the light of the experiences of the epidemic of 1898, and will further facili- tate interstate commercial relations. Some h1ty or more delegates from Alabama, Louisiana Mississippi and Texas were pres ent. No members of the Mississippi state board of health were in evidence, nor did that body take cognizance of the conven- ton.
 pr. G. w. Scott, of the Texas state board, was elected president and pr. G. F. Patton, secretary. pr. Souchon, president of the Louisiana board, offered a set of resolutions which were offered U a committee and the committee reported the following subst- tutcs
 NO locality shall be quarantined on cases of contagious diseases, reported as 'suspi- eious' or doubtful or disputed provided the cases are properly isolated. the premises disinfected, the inmates and suspects thor oughly disinfeeted and both inmates ana suspects be kept under proper observation by the local health authorities, all under the supervision and control of the state board of health, state health officer or United States marine hospital service; and such suspected case or cases be reported to the health ofii- cer or boards of health of adjacent states and they be invited to send representatives to view said case or caSes."
 This resolution also applies to sanitari- ums, hospitals and barracks.
 The substitute was adopted with the addi- tion proposed by Dr. Souchon that "the same apply to the first case or cases of genuine yellow fever"

AID FROM THE OUTSIDE.
Insurgents Were Encouraged by Some
 Foreign Power.

Boston, February 9.-The Globe this af- ternoon prints letter received in this city from First Lieutenant Henry Murray, quar- termaster of the First South Dakota volun- teers, of General Otis command in the Philippines, which says that as far back as the middle of December Aguinaldo and his followers were being encouraged and aided by some outside source and that the open ing of hostilities was expected by the Unit ed States troops. The letter, which bears the date of December 16, says in part:
 "A couple of nights ago we expected the insurgents to attack US, but it fell through, like many of their threats Some one is working them. Cannot tell the end. We are ready. American troops are in no tenn per to stand any fooling. In Manila those controlling do not want to lose power and sink into obscurity."

THE CALL FOR JOINT CAUCUS
Vas a Signal Victory for Secretary Gage
 and His Followers.
DEMOCRATS MUST STAND TOGETHER
Leaders of the Party Agree That Silver Will Be as Important an Issue in 1900 as It Was
 in 1896.

Washington, February 9.-(Special.) l.)-The republican party as a whole is commit ted now to the cause of currency reform, and Is preparing to meet the question bold ly in the next congress. Those who wanted to let the sleeping dog lie have been driven from their position and have now joined in with the others in favor of reforming the currency at the earliest opportunity. Nothing will be done at this session. There would not be time enough to get bill of any magnitude or importance through the
 house, without taking into consideration
 at all the senate.
 The monetary reformers in the house and in the senate have scored a signal triumph over the wavering members of their party when they secured a call for caucus to consider the matter This triumph became effective when they got a committee ap- pointed and authorized to examine the va rious bills with a view of reporting to
 the republicans of the next session the one considered the most feasible
 The Cause Has Grown
 When one considers that there were only
 four votes cast against this programme in the republican caucus it can be seen how the cause of currency reform has grown within the party. The commit tees on banking and currency and of coin age, weights and measures have each taken action now and indorsed the pro- gramme outlined at the republican eau GUS Only a year ago when the monetary commission began it's campaign under the lead of Hugh II. Hanna, of Indianapolis, the outlook was dreary from his point of view.
 Secretary Gage was the most abused man in the republican party and by re-
 publicans for his persistent attitude last
 year in favor of currency reform. Some uf
 the most timorous republicans wanted to force him to private life for what they called his indscretion" before the com mittee on banking and currency. Since | then there has been a change worked from | some quarter. Currency reformers could i not have expected more than the action of l the caucus, which commits the entire party 1 to the policy of currency reform. Committees at Daggers' Points The two committees, the coinage weights and measures and the banking and cur:

reney. have been at daggers points all this session and are still hostile to each other The banking and currency commit lee has indorsed currency reform by adopting the Mccreary bill. while the com mittee on coinage, weights and measures has indorsed the Hill bill. The action of the two committees has put them Tn ae- cord. so to speak, to clear the ground for a compromise bill, which the caucus com mittee will decide upon. This action Of the republican party was forced from within the party, for there were threats or sefl- ous ruptures if. the party should remain idle on the question Of currency reform any longer.
 The party thus committed will have the majority in the next congress to enact any law it may think proper without pander- ing in the least to the democrats or com promising with the silver republicans. That it intends to do this is shown by the practically united action of the republicans in the house and the two committees.
 Democrats Must Unite
 This action of the republicans will have the effect of forcing the democrats 'o united action also The democratic leaders here in congress agree with MT. Bryan that silver will be as important In the campaign of 1900 as it was in 1896. The two issues of anti-imperialism and free sil- yer will be linked together by party ac- .tion, end to accept one one must accept the other.
 The result of the republican policy Will be to force issues to that point where there will be no place for those who want to compromise. The republican leaders say that with expansion, indorsement of a war president and currency reform they are willing to meet any or all opponents. But this is taking the matter into the realm of politics The important point is the fact that the republicans have fully deter mined to reform the currency.
