THE YELLOW FEVER.
Or. Wyman Hopes It May Be Stamped
Out From This Continent.

According to DR.. Walter Wyman, surgeon
general of the marine hospital service, I'M
usual success has attended the recent ef-
forts of the department to prevent the an
nual outbreak of yellow fever in Texas and
Mexico. Work of a systematic sort has
been going on since the outbreak of last
season. and it is the hope of the marine
hospital service that 1t will result in
stamping the dread disease from the North
American continent. 1t is said at the Of
flee of the marine hospital that not single
case exists today in the territory that was
SO badly infected last August. The au-
thorities of Texas and Mexico are cooper
ating with the officials of the marine hos
pital service to a gratifying extent.
While we are not making any unquali-
fed claims" says DR.. Wyman, the worst
season for yellow fever is August and Sep
TENDER, and If there is to be any danger
Gus epidemic it is likely to begin ABOUT
that time"
DIR. Wyman says that at hrst II was
rather hard to awaken the people to the
vital Importance of the work. but that OF
late they have been successful in arousing
public sentiment to the desired point. The
governor of Texas issued proclamation
to the people of the state on the matter.
and even in Mexico the government au-
thorities are carefully cooperating with
the work being done on this side of the
border. DIR. Wyman visited Mexico last
February, where he was cordially received
by President Diaz and promised support
and assistance in his work. Mexico itself
is greatly benefting from the activity. as

having any intention of leaving the coun-
try. But in the case of Mexico it is under
stood that Corral's election as vice presi-
dent means that President Diaz will feel
free to take the European trip which he
has so long deferred. If he goes to Europe
1t is more than probable that he will also
visit the United States. General Diaz came
to Washington on his wedding trip, during
the term of President Arthur, and was en-
tertained at the White House by the latter
However, he was then only private citl-
zen as he had retired from the presidency
of Mexico. But it was known that he Wouid
be back in that office again, since the Mexi-
can people had already shown their intui-
ton that the only way for their country TO
maintain it's stability and get ahead was
by keeping General Diaz in office.
Clericals Can't Do Mischief.
While the movement which resulted in
the election of Corral as vice president was
intended to be concilatory. 1t cannot DE
said to have conciliated the clericals. The
real point is that it takes away their
chance for mischief The Vatican. 1t has
been understood, was anxious for the res
toration of good relations with Mexico and
the Mexican government showed friendly
disposition, though with distinct EIhita-
lions. Under the DiaZ regime and under
it's successor. there can be no recognition
of the church as a political power. A ru-
NOR that the Vatican was going to SEND
nuncio or legate to be accredited with
diplomatic functions was met with pOllte
but explicit statement that this intelli-
gence was mistake. Mexico had no pur-
pose of giving diplomatic recognition to any
representative of the Vatican. If one was
sent he would be treated courteously as an
individual. but would be precisely on the
footing of Satolli when he was sent to
Washington AS is we'll known, Sdtolli had
no official standing with the government
of the United States.
1t is intimated, and the intimation prob
ably is correct, that the selection of Min
lister Corral for vice president makes him
the most likely successor of General Diaz
for president This will be satisfactory to
the American and European interests which
now SO large in Mexico. The SJO003o,-

gardng what was likely to happen in Mex

cago convention few weeks ago Ambas-
sador Clayton was piled with similar ques
lions. To all of them he gave the most
reassuring answers. While his Official 20
sition prevented him from commenting on
the domestic politics of Mexico, bis con-
fidence in the future of the republic was
expressed in the most positive manner.
And in giving utterance to these express
sionS he knew that Corral was sure to be
the vice president.

For the first time in many years the Pat

one of the most revolving crimes of

Sunday. The blaze started from

Luetgert placed the dead body of his
