by hundreds in many parts Of the in
terror Extraordinary efforts arc put
forth by the health department TO
Keep the scourage from Manila, but
despite the combined efforts Of the
city and health officials. the disease
seems to have gained a grip on the
city. Great alarm is felt
The cholera has been raging in the
archipelago for nearly a year. but Is
growing decidedly worse with the ad-
vance of summer Efforts have been
made to keep the news Of the epidemic
from reaching the United States be-
cause of the alarm it would create
there for the many Americans now in
the islands. Reports that have been
compiled to show that the number OF
cases have been more than 10000 and

THE SOUTH AND
THE NOMINATION.

THE NOMINATION.
lt has been announced that Senator
Joseph w Bailey. OF Texas, has been
named by the Democratic national
committee as temporary chairman of
the St. Louis convention, and Repre-
sentative John sharp Williams OF
Mississippi. as permanent chairman.
In other words. the south is to preside
over the Democratic convention this
year.
The mention of these two men in
connection with the important posi-
tions in the great party gathering is
decidedly the most gratifying feature
of the ante-convention plans. and yet
it is nothing more nor less than what
was to be expected The south viii
lame the president this year-why
should she not rule the convention
which is to formally declare the name
Of her choice?
Senator Bailey and Representative
Williams. in the qrst place are the
two men above all others who are
qualified both in point of personality
and geographical location TO run the
national Democratic convention. They
are pre-eminent as leaders in tn
south and each has thoroughly dem
onstrated his capacity Bailey in
senate and Williams in the house OF
Representatives arose from the ranks
OF Democrats during the past sessions
in which they participated and tow
cred like the proverbial giant oaks OF
The forest. 1t would most assuredly
be the wise course if the party should
take them as they stand and trans
plant them in the st. Louis conyon
tion. where their leadership might be
available and their ability utilized.

CONGRESSIONAL

The Senate spent the greater part oil
the day yesterday considering the Indian
appropriation bill. Three hours of the
time was given to the discussion of a
claim of $50, 900 for services rendered
the Choctaw Indians, and the amend
ment was defeated. The civil service
debate was renewed, and there was con-
siderable discussion of the policy to be
pursued in securing employees for work
on the Panama canal. The bill was
still under consideration when the
Senate adjourned.
When the House adjourned yesterday
some progress had been made in the
reading of the postoffice appropriation
bill for amendment. The appropriation
for the railway mail service was carefully
scrutinized. The question as to the
length of time postal car may be used
before it becomes unfit for service was
settled by the House, when an amend
ment by Mr.. Tawney was adopted pro-
viding that no part of the appropriation
shall be used for the rental of cars which
have been in service for more than fii-
teen years. An unsuccessful fight was
made against the provisions in the bill
making appropriations for special mail
facilities over trunk lines south from
Washington and west from Kansas City.

pensate Oklahoma for the land grant to
Indian Territory for school purposes,
and gives Oklahoma not less than hve
representatives in Congress, whereas
Arizona would have but two. The bill
mas been SO drafted that the Arizona
New Mexico provisions may be easily
eliminated by amendment without I'M
peding the progress Of the Oklahoma'ln-
dian Territory provision. Upon THIS
measure the republicans in both houses
appear to be agreed. The democrats, on
the other hand, favor the creation oil
three States-New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma including Indian Territory.
This appears to be the better measure
but as the republicans look to the inter-
est of their party first they will net
agree 10 Arizona and New Mexico being
admitted as separate States, fearing they
might send too many democrats to Con-
gress to represent them.

Subsidy to Southern Railway.

By a narrow margin of eight votes the
House ofRepresentatives yesterday pass
ed the item in the postofice appropria-
ton bill grantinga subsidy of $l42, 1873.
rs to the Southern Railway Company to
facilitate the transportation of the fast
mails from Washington to New Orleans
via Atlanta. The item is not new, hav-
ing been incorporated in postofice appro-
priation bills for several years past, but
it has not always had the Endorsement OF
the Postmaster General. Since the House
has been devoting so much attention to
postal affairs considerable opposition to
this subsidy has been developed on the
ground that it would be an unnecessary
gift to the railway company.
1t was argued by Chairman Overstreet,
of the postoffice committee, and other
members who favored the item that it
would be impossible for the Southern
Railway Company to continue the fast
mail service of recent years between
Washington and New Orleans unless a
special appropriation we're made in the
interest Of that company so as to enable
it to run through special mail trains.
Contrary to expectations, the matter was
decided yesterday afternoon without de-
bate. The vote taken by tellers, was 80
to SO on the proposition by Representa-
tive Moon, of Tennessee, to strike out the
TEN, which accordingly remained in the
bill, reading as follows
"For necessary and special facilities on
trunk lines from Washington to Atlanta
and New Orleans, $l42. 72S.75, provided
that no part ofthe appropriation made by
this paragraph will be expended unless
the Postmaster-General deem such expen-
diture necessary in order to promote the
interests of the postal service"

Turbulent Convention.

After turbulent session yesterday
which issued into last night, the Georgia
republican convention at Atlanta adj
journed, but not before passing resou-
tons calling on Congress to punish those
States which have passed laws resulting
in the Acknowledgement of the negraand
side-tracking resolution declaring for
the nomination of State ticket.
A contingent of the Atlanta police
played part in the convention by eject
ing one of the members who insisted on
recognition when the chairman thought
he ought not to have it. An effort made
to provide for admission to the floor by
tickets caused wrangle, which occupied
the time of the convention for several
hours. No real work was done by the
convention until late in the evening.
The report of the committee on plat
form was long. The present admins
tration was Endorsed, and a personal
eulogy paid to President Roosevelt. The
courts which have convicted parties of
peonage were congratulated. The plat
form declared for respect OF law, and a
fair trial in the courts for all offenders
The State central committee, consist
ing of four men from each of the eleven
congressional districts, was named and
Walter II. johnson, of Atlanta, made
chairman. Delegates to the republican
national convention were also elected.

With the approach of spring and the
warmer weather the arrivals of different
lines of green fruits, vegetables, fish and
eggs show an increase and values are
gradually going lower. There has been
further decline in the price of eggs

clined during the past few days. The
