 7IEE STOCK MARK ET,
Trading Large but Congcsted in Few
 stocks.

New York, Feb. 27.-To- days trading in the stock market while quite large was very much congested in a few stocks. There was continued strength
 in St. Paul and a late buoyant rise in
 Sugar and notable gains by some of the
 less prominent high priced industrials.
 But the general market was not much
 inclined to respond in sympathy with
 the strength of these individual stocks, although the depression which existed
 in some parts of the list early in the day was partly relieved. The specula-
 tive tone was more inclined to sympa- thize with the continued heaviness of the steel stocks than with the strong features of the market. The inclina-

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-02-10

A good story is told of one of the Re
publican candidates for Mayor, says the
Cleveland Leader The time to which the
story relates was when the candidate was
many years younger than he now is, much
less experienced and during the popular
reign of the Academy of Music.
An oratorio was given one evening at
the Academy of Music and the now can
didate for Mayor was chosen to be one
of the proud doorkeepers. The petted fav-
orite Of the cast a Detroit man, who
sang tenor, arrived at the hall without a
ticket of admission having given all of
his to friends.
You can't come in unless you have a
pass" said the young doorkeeper.
Il am Mr.. Blank, the tenor singer"
haughtily replied the vocalist.
81 don't care if you are; you will have
to buy ticket" was the reply.
The singer did not buy a ticket, but
retired to the Forest City House. A half
hour later the Entertainment Committee
that had charge of the oratorio arrived
breathlessly at the hotel and offered alb
ject apologies to the offended tenor. He
was finally induced to sing and the con-
cert was begun about an hour later than
the scheduled time.

According to Washington dispatches
ex-senator German is in command of che
opposition to the ship-subsidy bill. 1t
seems that quite number of the South
ern Senators became demoralized by the
dispatches they received from their CON
stituents, who pointed out that the Mar
thine Congress at Brunswick had endorsed
the shp-subsidy scheme and urged them
to cease their opposition to the bill
1t was at this juncture that Mr.. Cor
man was called into the council of the
Democratic opposition. He was asked
what course would be the best to pursue
under the circumstances. He pointed out
that while the Republicans might be able
to put the bill through, having a major
ity. it would be better for the Democrats
from every point of view that it should
not be passed by this Congress. The taxi
ing Of such a large amount of money out
Of the treasury, he contended, for the
benefit of a few shipbuilders and ship
owners, would be unpopular, and IL the
ship-subsidy bill were passed by the next
Congress, on the eve of the Congressional
election, the Democrats would carry the
next House of Representatives.. He there
fore advised the Democrats to resist the
passage of the bill by all the means in
their power. His advice was regarded
as excellent and the Democratic Senators
decided to act in Accordance with it.
1t was not the Maritime Congress at
Brunswick or the resolutions it passed
that caused Southern Senators 20 weaken
in their opposition to the bill. They knew
just how large that Congress was and
also that there was an influential North
ern element in it. What made them think
that perhaps there was a stronger senti-
ment in the South for the bill than they
had thought, was the many dispatches
they received from constituents urging
them to support it. The occasion of these
dispatches was of course the Brunswick
Congress. The bill has friends in the
South There is no doubt of that but
they are in a very small minority That
this is true is shown by the introduction
of resolutions into the Legislature of
South Carolina condemning Senator Nc
Laurin of that state for supporting it,.
These Southern friends of the bill made
the Brunswick Congress the occasion for
deluging Southern Senators with dis
patches in it's favor. And If it had not
been for the excellent advice given by
Mr.. German, enough Southern Senators
might have withdrawn their opposition to
permit of the passage OF the bill.
What the friends of the bin are afraid
of now is that they will not be able to
pass it during this or any other Congress.
1t is known that there are several Re-
publican Senators who are against 1t.
Their opposition has not yet been avow-
ed, but 1t is known to exist, and 1t will
show itself when the vote is taken.

At the Pan-Americsn Medical Congress
in Havana on Wednesday last the report
of the Yellow Fever Board was read
OF the main conclusions, according to the
dispatches, were that the specific cause
of the disease is unknown and that it can
only be carried by mosquitoes. If these
conclusions are correct then there is no
longer need for disinfecting ships, houses
or clothing. Distinction is useless ex-
pense. If the public could be induced to
accept these conclusions there would be
no quarantine against places known to
be infected with yellow fever. There
would be no blockade OF commerce by
land or sea- and the health authorities at
cross roads would be without occupation
in yellow fever epidemics. But are the
conclusions correct? Who is to say? II
they are correct, the thing for the cities
liable to be attacked by yellow fever to
do, is to drain all lowlands in their i'm
mediate vicinity, 30 that there would be
no breeding places for mosquitoes.
According to these conclusions, TO have
an epidemic of the disease, there must
be a person suffering from it. Such a
person could Of course he brought to a
town in a railway car or on ship. pro-
vided the town is a seaport. Then there
must be mosquitoes and they must bite
the yellow fever patient during the first
two days of his Illness, otherwise they
cannot transmit the disease.
The yellow fever experts in Cuba have
been very industrious during the last
year. and it may be that they have got
at the truth, but will the medical pro
fession accept their conclusions without
further experiments? 1t is doubtful.
Are there not physicians who believe
they can point to cases where yellow
fever was contracted from infected cloth
ing? Has there not been epidemic of the
disease in localities where there were no
mosquitoes? It is to be presumed, of
course, that all such questions as these
were thoroughly considered by the Ha-
vana experts before they made their re-
port to the Medical Congress 1t is rather
lative to the means by which this dread
disease is spread that have been hereto
fore accepted are erroneous, and they
are, If the conclusions of the Havana
text of the report will be almost as inter
esting to the general public as to the
medical profession.
