DEADLY FEVER IN CUBA.
American Medical Authorities Asked
to Help.

New York, Sept. 2.-Menaced by a
disease which has baffled the best
medical skill of the island, the health
department officials of Cuba have APP
piled to the authorities of Columbia
university and Jefferson Medical col
lege of Philadelphia for aid in deter
mining the nature of the disease.
The most eminent physicians of
those institutions are working in con.
junction with the medical authorities
of the marine hospital and public
health department of the United
States government in an effort to de-
termine the nature of the disease. All
details of the investigation are re-
fused.
The disease In many of the symp-
toms resembles bubonic plague, but it
is said to be more swift in its progress
and more deadly in its effects.
1t first appeared some months ago
in the isolated town of Daiquiri, prov
ince of Santiago. Men employed in the
iron mines in that locality were af-
fected. The disease did not yield to
the treatment. and the mortality was
greater than in yellow fever or any
kindred diseases.
The inhabitants become panic
stricken, and an American steel COM
pany, with large interests there, took
up the matter. Reference to the New
York and Philadelphia experts fol-
lowed.
The description of the disease fur
nished by the Cuban physicians shows
the worst symptoms of yellow fever,
black fever and spotted fever. The
patient is usually dead a few hours
after first complaining of Illness and
turns a bright yellow after death. 1t
is in the death that the disease pre-.
sents its most horrible phase. The
victims pulse rate rushes to $50, a
heart beat which is deemed almost i'm
possible by physicians of experience.

TO GET RID OF NEGROES.
The Southern Orator Would Danish
The Race.

Chicago, Sept. 4.--Mr John Temple
Graves of Georgia. delivered an adj
dress on 1.-THE Problem OF the Races"
before the forty-eighth convocation OF
the University of, Chicago. He said
in part:
"The prejudice of race is point
ing of Providence and the antagonism
of peoples is the fixed policy by which
God peoples the different portions OF
the Universe and establishes the in
dividuality of the nations. The act
that brought these people together
on this continent was sin of the
father, sin of greed, sin Of trade
and the sorrow and suffering of the
present is for the sin of the pasta
sin against nature and sin against
God. The curse can be lifted only
when nature is indicated and God is
obeyed. The problem will be solved
only when the negro is restored to
the bounds of his habitation-'
ut is neither impossible nor i'm
practicable. The elements are willing,
and the way is in reach. This is not
day of impossibilities. The hand
of the Almighty is steadily opening
the way.
1T may be that the islands of the
sea were placed by Providence IN our
keeping to furnish an answer TO the
problem Of the time. The negro is an
accident. an unwilling, blameless,
but an unwholesome, unwelcome, help
less, unassimilable element In our
civilization. He is not made for our
times He is not framed to share In
the duty and destiny which he per-
plexes and beclouds. Let us pvt him
kindly and humanely out of the way.
Let us give him better chance than
he has ever had in history and let us
have done with him. Let as solve
his problem, frankly, fearlessly, nobly
and speedily. Let us put it behind us.
Let us purify our politics Of the per
plexity. Let us liberate the South to
vote and to think like free men upon
the. mighty issues Of the times"

DRAWN eYtrRAINED GEESE.
Canada Man Proposes Unique Ex-
hibit at st. Louis.

w. Olcott, an American who now re-
sides in Canada' has flock of domes-
tic geese that has been trained to draw
Il skiff containing two persons,
through the water ut rapid pace. Re
Gently lie has been experimenting with
wild geese and he finds that they nre
mucE stronger and swifter than the
domestic variety and now he desires
to capture large flock of wild geese,
train them to pull bonts and take
them to the st. Louis exposition and
place them on the lakes in place of the
conventional eondola. ..Olcott recently
wrote President David II. Francis Of
the Worlds Fair Commission at st.
Louis requesting that'n fund be ap-
propriated by the commission suffi
cient to enable him TO capture the
geese, maintain and train them and
transport them to the big exposition
next year.
In his letter Olcott writes that the
novelty of riding over the water towed
by n pair of well-trained geese is be-
yond the power of expression. "One
must experience the pleasure to fully
comprehend its eNhilaration." he
writes. las Il means of revenue the
geese would prove Il veritable mint.
and the small outlay of money at first
to gather this flock and train them
would be minute compared with the
subsequent returns when the fair was
once started with this novel attrac-
tion.'
1t is understood that the st. Louis
commission is considering the propo-
Son with favor.
