YELLOW FEVER SCARE.
Causes Texas to EstabliAh

jackson, Miss, May 31.-Advices hav-
ing been received from President Sou
chon, of the Louisiana state board of
health, that one case of yellow fever
had appeared in New Orleans. DR.. j. f.
Hunter, secretary of the Mississippi
board, sent Inspector Cant to New Or
leans with instructions to make a
thorough inspection of the city. He
will be joined there by Inspector Dunn
very serious, which is highly improba-
BILE, the Mississippi board will not de-
clare a quarantine against New Or
leans.
Houston, Tex, May 31.-Stute Health
Officer Blunt, on hearing of the case
of yellow fever in New Orleans, placed
quarantine guards and inspectors at
all points of entrance to Texas by tele-
graph orders, and has sent the follow
ing telegram to every railroad entering
Texas from New Orleans: DO not sell
tickets over your line from New Or
leans 10 any Texas point. Do not bring
any passengers or things from New
into Texas until further ORDERS" This

MAY HOLD HIM BACK.
Delay the Homecoming OF
Admiral Dewey.

London, May 31.-The plague is like
ly to complicate the homecoming of Adj
miral Dewey. Various governments
lave already declared severe quaran-
time regulations against all Egyptian
Rod sea ports and Hong Kong, where
the fresh cases and the number of
demths have nearly doubled in the past
week.. the new cases numbering 143,
and the deaths 1874. Admiralty officials
say that warships have no privileges as
regards quarantine beyond those of
merchant ships. the main point to be
considered being whether the ship is
infected or there be sickness aboard.
BY the time Admiral Dewey arrives at
the Mediterranean, his ship. the
Olympia, having been so long out from
Hong-Kong, if there are no cases aboard
she will probably be regarded as i'm
mune and the inspectors win pass her
without delay.
New York. May 3l.-A copyright
cable to the Evening World from Hong
Kong says that Admiral Dewey expects
to continue his homeward voyag e early
next week.

RIDER GETS A SHOCK


Sand you expect me to believe all this
yarn?"
81 tell you it's all straight. There's
the letter. It's chance that comes
only once in lifetime. I give you the
chance because you have lent hand
while l was used up. 1t will make us
both rich men,"
With their foreheads nearly touch
ing, Obed Rider and a stranger were
conversing in low tones in the formers
tent. They We're not handsome pair.
The seaman's weather-stained, brutal
countenance was a fitting mate for it's
companion, where the deep-set, color
less eyes, protruding cheek bones and
shapeless mouth, together with vul-
pine chin and tiendish eyebrows, de-
scending to the nose in sharp arches,
were natures warning to his fellows.
Obed Riders hurts had proved more
serious than he had at first imagined
The broken ribs panied him whenever
he moved, and he was almost helpless.
This man, who was known as Hank
Bowers, was desperate character who
had lost his last ounce at the gaming
table. He attached himself to the
mate with a view to robbing him at the
first opportunity, but the latter, find

tribunal. In all practical and essential
features the British and American
plans are identical. but the American
delegates have gone further, covered
the whole field of arbitration and draft
ed provisions for rehearing, In the
event of disagreement. Their pro-
posals will be submitted to the draft
ing committee to-day" -,
Covers the Whole Question. =
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at The Hague says: ''The American
scheme deals with the entire question.
Not only does it accurately define the
type of permanent tribunal. but 1t also
provides satisfactorily for the mechan-
ism of such a court in all its details.
The Americans, however. are willing
to have the best features of the Brit
ish, American and Russian proposals
amalgamated in a homogeneous whole.
The Americans propose that, in the
event of new facts coming to light after
a verdict, such as would Justify fresh
trial, the case shall be heard again by
the same tribunal"
Amcricnn scheme of Mediation.
The correspondent of the Daily News
at The Hague says: 1.-THE Americans
will submit TO-DAY scheme of media
ton, distinct from their arbitration
scheme. II is entirely original and full
Of new and ingenious and practices,
ideas. The Amer.ca cans refuse to con-
sent to compassion in any category of
cases for arbitration or at any stage
of the proceedings. Disputes, there
fore, can only be referred to the per-
manent tribunal by the desire of both
litigant states. They also hold that to
oblige independent states to enter into
binding treaties with each other would
revolutionize international law and the
Monroe doctrine"

PAYMENT OF cUBANs.
evidences of Frauds in
the Rolls.

Havana, May 3l.-Early Tuesday
morning Lieut.. Col. George NJ. Randall.
of the Eighth United States infantry,
accompanied by Paymaster Moses, his
clerks, doctor and a military escort,
with nearly 100000, left by special
train for Santiago de Las Vegas, but,
owing to various delays, the payment
did not begin until in the afternoon.
The alcalde gave the council chamber
for the purposes of distribution
large hall much better suited than the
quarters used in Havana. Many of the
applicants, of whom there was a large
number, were without guns.
That the rolls are padded badly be-
comes more and more evident each day,
and Col. Randall says that from what
he can learn every man, dead or alive,
who ever has served in the ranks of
the insurgents. appears on the lists.
Investigation has already shown that
several officers gave certificates to men
who had no guns. When Col. Randall
demanded the presence of these Off
GERS they refused to come forward. In
one instance it was discovered that the
name of captain was. enrolled, who,
to the certain knowledge of one of the
Cuban officials assisting the paymas-
ter, had been dead two years.
1t is generally believed by the Off
Gals making the disbursement that the
rolls were padded in the expectation
that the company commanders would
have personal hand in making pay
ment. One man who was paid Tues
day said he was glad the Americans
were distributing the funds themselves,
as otherwise he would not have re-
ceived more than S25. The number
paid was As, but there were several
applicants with arms entitled to pay
ment who will receive it after identi-
fication. Santiago de Las Vegas itself
is an extremely dirty town. with a
population of 1000. 1t is sadly in

ing him to be utterly INSCRIPTIONS,
had decided to enlist his services in
his own schemes.
On the very night Tom landed at
Dyea he was making the offer. He
first informed his new friend that his
name was Avery, then showed the let
ter from the old miners partner, also
the will drawn up on shipboard.
The other laughed insolently in his
face as he went on and sneered:
Come off! Do yer take me for a
fool? If you was digging gold in 40
you was at it blasted young!"
Rider shrank before his look, and he
continued:
See here, now, old man. Give us a
straight deal. Them papers amt none
OF yourn. You've pinched 'em some
whar. OF course, that's your business,
an yer amt obliged ter split on yerseli.
! amt man ter stick at trifes, but
don't go in with yer blind. Now, in the
fust place, what's yer right name?"
Having obtained this information, he
continued:
"All right. Now, the next thing is,
how did yer git them papers?"
Rider dared not refuse to tell, but he
said, sullenly:
II took them from a young fellow in
Frisco"
"Oh, you did! Now we are coming
down to biz. He give 'em up fer the
askin'. dare say?"
No" growled Rider, II knocked him
over and took EN-"
Good! And did yer make clean job
of 1t? Did yer kill him."
II don't know. He was alive the next
morning"
Know who hit him?"
NO"
Then you're all right, and I'll join
Yer. But, see here, Rider, if that is your
name, there's one more to this than yer
think You say there is one man up to
the place now besides the one that was
to come in after grub in the spring.
Now, why can't we,run across this chap
on his way, and-well, he must be taken
care of. Then we can go to the place
where the gold is and look after your
other friend. We shall have the whole

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Encouraging Features of the Situa-
ton Continue to Prevail in
Most Lines.

New York, May 29.-Bradstreet's says:
Favorable features OF current trade still,
as for long time past, largely outnumber
those of an opposite character. Wholesale
distribution is naturally less active as the
season advances. but comparisons with
last year are still very satisfactory. Much
Is hoped for from better weather condt-
tons stimulating retail trade, hitherto held
In check by the backward spring season.
Industrial activity is Widespread and the
prices of most staples are either very firm
or tending upward, except in the cases Of
products affected by weather conditions.
That often relied upon barometer, the iron
and steel trade, reports increasing rather
than lessening activity, Notwithstanding
the approach of warm weather. The de-
mand for lumber and building materials
generally continues undated, and there
Is talk of brick manufacturers following
examples set by other trades and combin-
ing to regulate output. Raw sugar is firm.
and the opening of the fruit season gives
confidence in steady prices for the refined
article. Boots and shoes hold recent ad-
vances, and hides and leather are firm in
sympathy.
The trade situation is. however, not
entirely without its drawbacks. Reports
from winter wheat become increasingly
unfavorable, conservative estimates point
ing to 100. 900 900 bushels smaller crop, owing
to insect damage. and near futures are
higher on the week. Export trade in sew
eral lines Is smaller than of late. partly
owing to less urgent demand for our food
supplies and partly to smaller shipments of
manufactured goods"
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says: There is some fear that has no
other source than the habit of fear Men
have found so many years disaster tread
ing on the heels of apprehension that they
lack faith in good things present and to
come. Every year there is worry about
short crops. and yet the crops grow larger.
The specter of monetary trouble haunts
men who know that the country is strong
beyond any need. Promoting methods
alarm men who are already quite aware
that it is only needful to put promoted
stocks in a class by themselves But all
the time the volume of business is rising,
this weeks payments through the chief
clearing houses are GIL per cent. larger
than last year. and ESQ per cent. larger
than in 1892. For the month thus far the
daily average is SO per cent larger than
last year, and GA per cent larger than in
1892. Moreover this week and every other
brings larger wages to many and increased
purchasing power. and the demand for
products is consequently expanding in all
branches of consumption
Failures for the week have been 141
in the United States. against 2i5 last year.
and IL in Canada. against q last year"
