SCARLET FEVER ABATED.
1t Has Run Its Course and the City Is Now
Practically Free from the Contagion.

The epidemic Of scarlet fever which
has flourished in this city for the

lence has now been almost abatcd,
thanks to the strict quarantine regu-
lations which were adopted by the
city authorities and board of health,

the fever yesterday.

Senator Thomas I'll. Carter has in
terested the postoflice department at
Washington in the matter Of having
a postal car attached 10 the Red

following letter received the past
week by Postmaster Anderson. The

OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS AGAIN.
That Question Discussed at Meeting Of the
Board, But No Definite Action Taken.

A meeting Of the school board was
held on Monday evening last, at which
the subject Of raising the quarantine
and starting up the city schools were
matters for consideration. Those
present at the meeting were Chair
man Sell and Trustees Meyer, Taft,
Budas and Fleming. No action on a
resumption OF the city schools was
taken, because DR.. Lutz Of the board
Of health had given the school board
no definite decision as to the time
when It would be safe for the schools
to take up again, only saying that as
the scarlet fever was abating there
was hope that Il would be safe to re-
open the schools on Monday next,
but, however, being careful not to
authorize this being done at that
time, as it was too early to determine
fully what was the best action to be
pursued.

BACON AMENDS THE
PORTO RICAN BILL
Would Extend Our Constitution Over
the Island.
PETTUs GROWS SARCASTIC
Alabama Senator Says House
Measure Is Hardly Decent.

4 Washington dispatch says: Sen
stor Bacon, Thursday, introduced an
amendment to the pending Porto
Rican bill, under the terms of which
that island is recognized as coming
under the provisions of the constitu-
ton OF the United States just as soon
az the plan of government provided
in the bill becomes operative. This
amsndment differs from that Of Sena-
tor Davis, which provides for free
trade as if it we're simply a gift from
congress.
Senator Bacon's idea is that, what
ever the conditions as long as the
country is under military rule, as soon
as civil government is established, the
privileges of being part of this gov
ernment shall follow as a matter of
right. To that end he provides that
the rates of the present tariff law shall
at once 90 into effect against imports
going into Porto Rican ports from 9TH
er countries, but that there shall be no
tariff taxes against imports going into
those ports from any part OF the
United States.
After Mason, of Illinois, had enter
ed his motion to discharge the COM
mittee on foreign relations from FUR
ther consideration of his resolution
expressing sympathy for the Beers,
and it had gone over until Friday, un-
der the rules, Mr.. Pettus, OF Alabama,
addressed the senate in opposition to
the pending bill. BE argued that it
was unconstitutional and in violation
of the principles of this government,
as laid down by the fathers of the
country. He congratulated the presi-
dent on the position he had taken in
his last annual message favoring free
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico.
'sNo sordid politicians fingers had
been put into the ink of that message,
he said. "The president was honest
and sincere when he distinctly advised
free trade between the United States
and the island of Porto Rico.
''The public press is now trying to
make US believe that the secretary OF
war is the author of the pending bill,
and that the president has acceded to
the provisions of the measure.
ssFor one, I refuse to believe this
charge against the president. Though
he may desire reelection, he was a
brave soldier, and is an able and gen.
erous man. He has acted for the COM
mon good of all the people. If he ap-
proves your bill, then may believe
any vile story against any good man"
Mr.. Pettus maintained that the pol
icy of the bill was bad, aside from the
questions of law. 'sIt is Illegal" he
declared, s'and is hardly decent"

BOERS RESIST
AN ADVANCE
Roberts Met Opposition
Near Bioenfontein.
A Big BATTLE IS FOUGHT
After Holding Their Ground All Day the
Willy Beers Retreated Under
Cover Of Darkness.

Advices from Driefontein, Orange
Free State. under date of March II,
state that Broadwood's cavalry bri-
gade, advancing on Bloemfontein, un-
expecIedly found the Beers in strong
position in the Driefontein kopjes on
Saturday. General Kelly-Kenny's d.
vision arriving, severe fighting ensued.
The Beers resisted stubbornly, but
were driven from their center position.
leaving a number of dead and forty
prisoners.
During the fighting, in which five
regiments took part, with artillery, the
Beers, though forced from their center
position, clung tenaciously to the
other kopjes, shelling the British
fercely with three guns and two Vick-
ers-Maxims.
The British cavalry began to turn
the Boer position, but night fell be-
fore the movement was completed.
The Beers retired during the night.
All of the day was occupied in fight
ing. The Beers maintained stub
born rear guard action along a run
ming front of twelve miles on very
difficult ground. The British were
advancing in three columns. General
Tucker, to the southwark, occupied
Petrusberg unopposed; General Kelly
Kenny after following the river bank
moved in the direction of Abraham's
kraal.
At Driefontein, about eight miles
south of Abraham's kraal, the Beers
were found posted in considerable
strength on the ridges connecting sev.
eral kopjes where they had mounted
guns.
The action began at 8 in the morn.
ing with an artillery duel. General
French's cavalry and Major Porter's
brigade supported our guns. Ihe
Boer artillery was accurately handled
and the British cavalry found the task
harder than they had expected. Gen.
eral Broadwood, with dogged perse-
verance, moved altogether six miles
southwark trying to find means to
get around, but the Beers followed
behind ground and even attempted to
outfank him.
Meanwhile, the Sixth division of in.
fantry, advancing on the Boer left
slowly, forced the enemy to retire.
Had the infantry been able to move
faster, the Beers would have been en-
veloped.
The last shot was fred at 7:30 p. M.

The storming of Alexander kopje
BY the Welsh was particularly fine
piece of work. The mobility OF the
Beers in moving their guns was very
remarkable. The New South Wales
mounted infantry made a gallant but
unsuccessful attempt to capture gun.
A large number of Australians were
engaged in Saturdays fight. The

ALDRICH IN;
ROBBINS OUT
Alabama Republican Given
Democrats Seat.
HOUSE DECIDES CONTEST
Vote Was On Strict Party Llnes'--Bart'
lett Made a Strong Fight For the
Minority Report.

A Washington special says: By the
narrow margin Of seven votes the
house Thursday afternoon unseated
Hon. CASTOR Robbins, of the fourth
Alabama district, and seated Hon.
William F. Aldrich, the Republican
contestant. This was done on strictly
partisan lines and after a bitter fight
made by the Democrats, under the
leadership of Judge Bartlett, OF Geor'
gia, in behalf of Robbins.
The result was not altogether unex-
pected, though it was hoped by Mr..
Robbins friends that enough Repub-
licans would refuse to follow the die
tates of the Republican leaders to
prevent Aldrich being being seated.
Robbins was also handicapped ~ the
fact that his case was tho first of the
contested cases to be acted upon by
the house.
The feature OF the debate was the
speech of Judge Bartlett in support OF
his minority report. He made COM
plete and searching analysis OF the
majority report demonstrating that
any fair and legal consideration OF the
facts would show that Robbins is en-
titled to the seat.
"Taking it from him" said Judge
Bartlett, in summing up the case after
ward, sis inst like holding a man up
at the point of shotgun and robbing
him Of his money"
There is one feature OF the vote on
this case that has caused lot OF COM
ment among Democrats. That was
the absence of General Wheeler and
of Congressman Stallings. The ab-
sence of General Wheeler gave Rob
bins just one less vote than he had.
Had he been present under clear title
to his own seat he might have helped
materially. Mr.. Stallings was paired
with a New Jersey member, and,
therefore, his own vote was arranged
for; but it is an open secret that there
is good deal of bitterness among the
Alabama delegation over his failure to
be on hand.
They say that as one of the
older members of the delegation
he might have been able to in
Auence some Republican votes, but
even if he were not, he should have
been present in Justice to his COL
league, and especially to election
methods, which were 50 bitterly as
sailed in this contest.
1880 o'clock the vote was taken
first upon the minority resolutions de-
claring Mr.. Robbins entitled to retain
his seat. The sub.resolutions were de
feated-134 to 13S-by a strict party
vote.
The majority resolutions declaring
Mr.. Aldrich, the contestant, entrsled
to his seat were then adopted-l42 to
135.
There was no demonstration when
the result was announced. Mr.. Al
drich then came forward to the bar OF
the house, escorted by Mr.. Mann, and
took the prescribed oath.

Well Known Floridian Discharged

From the Columbus Penitentiary.
Enoch W. Agnew, the gray-haired
national banker of Ocala, Fla, was
discharged from the prison at Colum
bus, O., Thursday on the expiration
of his five years. sentence and left at
once for his Florida home. Agnew
was caught by the cold wave that
blasted Florida in 1894 and 1895. He
had loaned money beyond the limit OF
the national banking laws to orange
growers to harvest and ship their
crops. The whole crop was ruined,
the growers could not repay. and the
examiners caught Agnew's bank short.
