down by the ears will probably not stay

FEVER SITUATION.

The Newport News Board Of Health
is to congratulated upon the energetic
sponded to the remarkable demands
made upon it on account Of the yellow
fever scare at the Soldiers Home.
Every step necessary for the protection
Of the city was taken without unncc-
the day may be accepted as a criterion
there is little danger that this city will
be infected by the dread scourgc. The
faulty diagnosis by which the disease
was permitted to run several days be-
most unfortunate, but inaslnuch as
there is little communication With the
Home hospital outside Of The regular
inmates of the Institution, the danger
from this scourgc is probably cxas-
gerated. Now that the nature Of the
disease is understood it can be treated
intelligenty ana stamped out ut the
earliest possible moment. Considering
the sanitary and climatic conditions
surrounding the Home ana the ease
with which quarantine may be cstab-
lished it should not be difficult to con
fine the fever to the Home reservations
In the meantime, however, every pos
sible effort should be made to place the
city in a perfectly sanitary condition
All the rubbish and filth that has col
the streets should he removed ana e.
fectually destroyed and ali the damp.
germ breeding places should be dis
infected until there are absolutely no
conditions in existence here which viii
encourage the growth OF the yellow
Jack germs
The busiess men Of the city have conc
to the aid of the health authorities and
stand ready to help both with time and
money, If their assistance is necessary.
This IS well and speaks in unmistak-
able terms Of the patriotic spri, which
animates the business men Of the mu-
nicipality. Even the gentlemen who
were disposed TO muzzIe the press were
no doubt impclled by what they mis-
takabiy considered the best interests Of
the city This is not an indivual or
personal matter. Every citizen Of
Newport News is vitaly interested IN
the outcome Of the affair Therefore.
every resident Of the city should hear
thy cooperate with tho health author
ties in the precautions necessary to
protect the city against infection.

One amusing incident of the past
week came. up in. connection with a
bill to repeal the charter ola little town
in Mitchell county called Redmond.
1t appears that the town consists Of

was running the distillery
Judge Purnell has confirmed the
sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley railroad to the Atlantic Coast
Coast Line and the new owners today
began to make the transfer of the
property. There is bill pending in
the Legislature now to charter new
road to build over the route that the
Four O's railroad originally intended
to build from Marion west. Now it is
asserted that large proportion of the
capital needed will be available.
The question of the division of the
school fund and the revision of the
election laws continue to be the upper
most subjects in the public mind. The
senate has already passed a bill re-
pealing the election laws of 1895 and
1897. These will he wiped out entirely
and the Legislature will build up a
new system. Now opinion has not yet
crystallized on any definite plan of
restricting the suffrage, but the Louis
lana plan seems to meet the ideas of
most of our members nearer than any
other scheme yet presented. There is
no probability that constitutional
convention will be called as that would
be unnecessary to change a single
article of the constitution, which can
be done by the voters of the polls as
we'll as bya convention.

Washing, January 17.-Following
is the text of the letter by General Ea-
gan to the war commission today with
an amended statement in reply to the
charges made by general Miles con-
cerning the beef furnished the army:

this connection desire to state that
there was nevera thought or intention

fuse to take seriously the revival of
the report, cabled from Washington,
that the United States are willing to

British West Indian islands. A high
official of the information office char
acterized the statement as absurd He
said that while the continental powers
appeared to be willing to permit the
United States to hold the Philippines
as spoils Of war, they would not be
likely to remain passive spectators of a
change insthe balance of power in the
far east, which would result from
Great Bfitain's requirement of these
islands, particularly so at this criti-
cal time8in the struggle for domination
in China The official further remark

which would result from the proposed

Comfort for Butler.

Washington, Ian. 1.-THE Naval
Personnel bill was passed by the
House today with proposed increase
OF the marine corps TO six thousand
men. The provision to make the
commandant of the corps major
general was bitterly opposed and was
stricken out, leaving the head of the
corps a brigadier general. The vote
was 127 to 81, which fairly represented
the strength of the bill in the House.
Mr.. Butler presented in the Senate
today memorial from Confederate
veterans of Muskoge9 county, Geor-
gia, requesting the Senator to press
his bill granting pensions to Confed-
crate soldiers, as by so doing ''it
would show to the world that we are
an united people. They desire this,
they say, mot as mendicants for
pensions, but in response to the grand
and patriotic sentiments Of our Presi-
dent, and as voicing the sentiments
of every patriot who loves his whole
country and respects the vaIor of
dead Confederate soldiers as brothers
of our united country"
Resolutions adopted by Confederate
camps in other States against the pas
sage of the bill were presented by
German, Jones and Berry. 4
