 There are several hundred men en- ployed in the mining towns and In the event of an epidemic there. serious trou- ble is anticipated,
 The situation !n Duva1l county is ap- preaching a crisis because of the qnaran- tine which Is maintained against 1t by Nueces county. No train has entered the county for almost two weeks and Gov. Lanham has been appealed to for relief. Food stuffs are alarmingly scarce ana there is talk Of calling out the mili- tia to secure operation of trains. The Nueces county officials refuse to allow passage of trains through that county.

NOTIFIES BOARD OF TRADE OF LITTLE ROCK THAT NO SUCH MAN AS CHARLES p. M'LANE IS EMPLOYED.

Little Rock, Ark, October LA press dispatch was recently sent out from Knoxville. Tenn, in which one Cltlrles P. McLane, who was represented as a government chemist in the federal depart ment of agriculture, and who was quoted as saying he had just re.ugned from Ar kansas and Texas, and had found that ravages of the boil weevil In western Ar kansas, and especially in Hampstead county, had desolated that portion of the state. It now develops that the man who gave out the interviews was not connected with the department of agricul- aure at all. Secretary George R. Brown of the board of trade took the matter up with the agricultural department and yesterday received the following leter from Secretary Wilson

Evils of Taxation Exaqqerated.

Evils of Taxation Exaggerated.
 This was an important and different branch of the problem, though the speak CT believed that the evils of the taxation of food had been exaggerated beyond what reason and logic justified Still he thought that public opinion was not yet ripe for the taxation of food. Therefore, as an adviser of great party, he was bound to tell them plainly that 1t was outside the limits of practical politics. He was not anticipating a general tariff war, but he thought we might inform any foreign country that we thought that was treating with outrageous unfairness. that unless they modified their policy we should take certain steps with regard to certain articles exported by them"
 He proposed to ask the country to re- verse, to annull, and to altogether delete from their maxims of conduct, the con- structive rule that it must never impose taxation except for revenue. In his judgment. the country ought never to have stood self deprived of that liberty and 1t should publicly resume in the face of Europe and the world the liberty of which 1t deprived itself the liberty which every other country in the world possesses. and that no country would deprive itself of the liberty of negotiat- ing and having something with which to negotiate.
 To the next question why they should want to resume this liberty, seeing how well the country had prospered without it, he would reply:
 My object is to mitigate to the utmost the injury done us by hostile tariffs. The proposed remedy will not be complete, even if tried in it's integrity, because I believe that the country will not toler- ate a tax on food, but undoubtedly it will be useful.
 "A leader, however, unworthy of his party must lead it, and so long as he held that position he meant to lead. He had given the great question his earn est consideration and he was firmly con- vinced that the policy which he now recommended was not only in harmony with Englands best tradition, and not only found a precedent in the state ments of her greatest leader, but was also the best which the country, depend- ent solely as it was on its commercial and manufacturing position, could adopt. In the faith. and in that belief. he recom- mended it to their favorable considera- tion.'
 Mr. Balfour sat down amid loud and pro- longed cheering. A vote of confidence in the ministry was adopted unanimously.
