Lincoln Neb., Sept. 11.-Mr. Bryan's Com
noner" tomorrow will contain eulogy OF Tom
l. Johnson that indicates plainly his preference
for the Ohio man for the Presidency. He says
the Ohio convention was of importance to
Democrats because it indorsed the Kansas City

premacy over the Mclean forces He openly
shows pleasure at the weakness of the Mclean
element, and says of Johnson
Mr.. Johnson was not advocate of free coin
age at 16 to l. but the Chicago platform had no
more earnest supporter, because he recognized
that the silver question was only one phase or
the unendlng struggle between greed and hu-
man rights. Mr. Johnson not studied the
money question as thoroughly he has studied
some other economic questions, but he IS so de-
voted TO the interests of the Ieople that he can

NAY PLEDGE TO ROOSEVELT
QUESTION OF 1NsTRUCTING THE NEW
YORK DELEGATES EARNESTLY
CONSIDERED.

The question Of instructing the New-forK
delegates TO the next Republican National Con-
vention to cast their ballots for Theodore Roose-
velt for President is that the leaders OF the
Republican organization have had under con-
sideration seriously for the last few days. Ihe
matter is unsettled as yet, but the possiptilty
Of some such instructions being given to dele
gates is not as remote it appeared TO ne
earlier in the week.
The subject is being approached with dispas-
sionate discussion by the friends of the Presi-
dent and the leaders Of the State organizatloh
It may be stated that Senator Platt has never
seen or received any direct communication from
the President on the subject. It is known,
however, that the President regards the prob
lem with little or no concern. Some OF MS
friends are insisting that instructions should be
given Senator PIatt is inclined to the belief
that in the State election national issues will
have little to do, and that a platform should be
drafted a ticket elected and policy followed
that will enhance to the highest possible point
the chances for success this fall The platform
it is said, will contain some sort OF PLANK
dealing with the trusts. but Just what the word
ing of it will be has not been ascertalned-
About instructing delegates for President
Roosevelt. the situation is complicated by the
fact that PENNSYLVANIA. Delaware, Washington
California and other States have instructed
their delegates to vote for Roosevelt. Ihe
friends of the President say that failure to IN
struct for him may he construed as an alIront'
OF slight although such intention Is meant
on the part of the State leaders. The problem
will be discussed more fully. and it is not m
possible that 2 decision may be reached to IN
struct for Roosevelt , c. ",

news received here from Shamnka CON
firms the appalling character OF the
earthquake at that place, and adds 300
corpses have already been taken out
of the ruins. The piles of wreckage
are 80 vast that the search is neces-

Mussulmen, The survivors are en-
camped outside the ruins of the city.

telegraphs that the town is now almost
completed destroyed. only dozen
houses being left standing, and that
the loss of life was very great. The
church, the mosque, the barracks, and
the treasury were destroyed. Twenty
five thousand inhabitants are without
food or shelter. The shocks continued
to-day.
Tifis. Russian Trans-C -Caucasia, Feb.
1.-Two bodies of victims of the
earthquake which destroyed the town
of Shamaka had been recovered up to
last evening. 1t appears certain that
several hundred bodies are buried in
the assures and debris caused by the
shocks. The Quakes continue at inter-
walls and the work of excavating in
search of the victims proceeds with

PREVENTING YELLOW FEVER.
Experiments at Havana Prove thu
Mosquito to be the Cause.

Havana. Feb. 17.-Aiajor w. G. Cor
gas chief sanitary officer of Havana,
says the principal work Of the sanitary
department for the past year has had
for its object the determination of yell
low fever, and that he has many rea-
sons to believe Havana has been ac-
tually purged from the disease. Dur
ing the last 100 years, Major Gorgas
says. yellow fever has been epidemic
in Havana, and all sanitary measures
that have been taken have had no
effect. General disinfection, as car
ried out for other diseases, has been
tried to no purpose; but yellow fever
sharply disappeared upon the introduc
tion of the system based OH the killing
of infected mosquitoes, on the theory
that by such mosquitoes could the dis
ease be transmitted.
From September 2S 1901. not single
case Of the fever has been reported.
and this condition is so unusual that
in the opinion of the major 1t puts
aside all questions OF chance. During
the last forty-five years scarcely a
month has passed without deaths oc-
curing from the fever. In 1857 2,O5S
deaths from the disease were reported
and in 1866 there We're fifty-one deaths
The average for forty-ive years has
been 751.
In 1891. with the new system, there
was only eighteen deaths, and twelve
of these occurred before the system
was put in operation. AT the beginning
Of 1901 the conditions were most un-
favorable. and there was every pros
pect that yellow fever would be preva-
lent. During 1900 there had been 1 PA
cases of the disease and 80 deaths.
On March 1, 1901, the plan Of killing
infected mosquitoes was put into ef-
feet, with the result that only six per-
sons have died in Havana from yellow
fever since that time.
