very dangerous condition.
: While the outlook is anything but
bright, Dr.. Porter and the health of.
<f1cers are putting up fine fight, and
have not for minute expressed any
!. discouragement over the situation.
They are meeting with some oppo-
sition On the part of a certain class
OF citizens, who do not seem to be
impressed with the importance of the
situation, but despite this opposition
they are going on with the work Of
fumigation and screening.

ASK REVISION OF TARIFF
A Reduction Of Customs Duties on
Imports Demanded by RepubIi-
cans of Massachusetts.

With only one voice raised in op-
position the republicans of Massachu-
sets in state convention at Boston
Friday declared for a revision Of the
tariff.
Contrary to expectations, the radi-
cal wing of the party, under the lead
e-ship Of Eugene N. Foss Of Boston
did not offer a substitute for the plank
in the platform relating to the taria,
although in speech to the delegates
Mr.. Foss declared that the revis!c-
of the tariff favored in the state pla:-
form was not sufficiently wide in its
scope.
Mr. Foss said, however, that he and
nis followers were encouraged at the
concessions made to them and that
next year they would expect to have
the convention accept their PROPOSE
ton in it's entirety.
One Of the surprises came when
General William F. Draper, former
ambassador to Italy and leading
member Of the Home Market Club, op-
posed, in vigorous speech, the adop-
ton of the tariff revision plank Of
the platform. General Draper SAT-
he would not offer any substitute
plank, for the reason that he knew
there was no chance of his or any
other substitute being accepted.
General Draper contended that tar
if revision would be followed by fnan-
cial and commercial depression, and
speaking as a manufacturer, he could
see no reason why there should be
a revision.
In his speech Chairman Weeks de.
clared that the country under the
masterful guidance Of President
Roosevelt has reached a position Of
power and prestige never equaled be-
fore, and that projection has been
and would continue to be one Of the
main principles Of the republican
garty.
The following state ticket was
nominated:
For Governor-Curtis Guild, Jr.
For Lieutenant Governor-Ebon 8.
Draper, Hopedale.
Secretary Of State-William M.
Olin, Boston.
Treasurer and Receiver General
Arthur B. Chaplin, Holyoke.
Auditor-Henry E. Turner, Maiden.
Attorney General-Dana Malone,

.FUG|TIVES BEHIND BARS.
Greene and Gaynor Ensconced in Sa.
vannah JaiI-Wives Greeted Them
on Arrival in the City.

The welcome of their wives await
ed BENJAMIN D. Greene and John F.
Gaynor when in the custody OF a
quartet of officers, they arrived in sa-
varnah at 6 o'clock Monday morning
at the union station after their long
Journey from Montreal.
An aTectionate greeting was ex-
changed between the alleged conspir-
ators and their wives. After brief
interchange the prisoners and Mar
shals White and Doyle left in one
carriage for the Chatham county Jail,
while the ladies took another for the
DeSoto hotel, where they are stopping.
The prisoners were not handcuffed.
Arriving at the Jail, the party had
some trouble breaking in" Greene
and Gaynor commented upon this ap.
parent difficulty. Finally the marshals
were able to make the custodians
within hear and the gates were open
ed, to close later to conflne Greene
and GaynOr.
The prisoners were installed in a
special room on the top floor. They
wiki furnish it comfortably, and every
morning a negro barber is to appear
20 shave them. Arrangements have
been made for them to receive their
meals from the DeSoto. Many callers
appeared at the jail. Among them
was P. ". Meldrim of Garrard & Mel
drim. attorneys, who have been en-
gagged by the prisoners. Colonel Mel
drim gave them instructions not to
talk. and efforts to secure interviews
were bootless. 1t is said that an at
tempt to obtain their liberty on bail
will be made.

TO SELL SIRUP FACTORY.
Government to Give Up Experiment
Plant at Waycross. Ga.

RANT dS VdySiVSo, va.
A Washington dispatch says: Gov
ernment experiments into the pro-
cess of cane sirup making have been
brought to a sensational conclusion
and Secretary Wilson Of the depart
ment of agriculture, ordered the sale
of the government factory built at
Waycross, Ca, three years ago.
This plant was built for the purpose
Of giving a course Of study to the
manufacturers Of the gulf states.
These manufacturers had experienced
trouble in making sirup of uniform
color, preventing it's reverting to su-
gar Or fermenting. A plant was es-
tablished by Or. H. w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, and his
experiments proved entirely success
full. The pant cost the government
less than $4,000 and resulted in the
Improvement Of an annual production
of nearly 100000 gallons Of sirup.

FEVER BEYOND CONTROL.
Pensacola Authorities Can Only De-
psnd cn Jack Frost to Eradicate
Scourse from the City.

Nineteen new cases OF yellow 1e'
yer developed in Pensacola Sunday,
showing a large, increase in the NUM-
Der heretofore reported.
This is partially due to the rigid
inspection which was made during the
day by what is known as the cltI-
zans' committee, which was appointed
Saturday, each citizen being assigned
20 a block.
This inspection revealed manV
cases which had not been reported TO
ne physicians. All Of these cases were
among the lower class residents, but
the physicians reported several cases
which had been under surveillance foc
several days.
The prevailing opinion is that the
fever is beyond control, that it will
remain in Pensacola until frost. The
efforts of the doctors are now center
ed principally in preventing a spread
and keeping the number of cases as
small as possible.
No deaths occurred during the day,
although there are number Of pa
t!ents in the hospital and other places
who are likely to die.
, The obstacles thrown in the way
{ the health officials by ignorant
parties have prevented the former
.oin stamping out the disease and
conducting the campaign against the
mosquito as it should be conducted.
IS consequence there are now near
:, one hundred cases under treatment.
Many persons have LETT the city
since the establishment Of the deten-
Ion camp by the marine hospital SER
vice and more will follow, as the fe-
yer seems to be spreading to all por-
lions of Pensacola.
Sundays report, up to p. M, was
as follows: New cases -, total cases
to date 253, deaths none, total deaths
to date3S, cases discharged IS, cases
under treatment 126.

HUGHES DECLINES HONOR
Thinks Acceptance of New York May
orally Nomination Would "Qaeer"
insurance investigation.


Charles Hughes, counsel Tor the in
surance investigating committee, mas
declined tie republican nomination
for mayor OF New York city.
In stating his grounds for refusing
the nomination. Mir. Hughes said:
In this dilemma I have simply to
do NV duty as l see it. In my Judg-
ment | have no. right to accept the
nomination. A paramount public duty
forbids it.
"11 is not necessary to enlarge
uDon the importance OF the insurance
;nvestigatior. This is undisputed. 1t
is dealing with questions vital to the
interests of millions of our fellow cst-
izens throughout the land. 1t presents
an opportunity for public service Sec
end to none and involves co-rela-
tive responsibility. This work com
mands all my energies. 1t is lmper-
stive that continue it.
The non-political character OF the
investigation and it's freedom from
bias either of fear or favor, not only
must exist, they must be recognized.
Were 7, with the best of lnten-
tons, to accept the nomination, 1t IS
nv conviction that the work OF the
investigation would be largely dis
credited by the public at large; its mo-
tives would be impugned and its IN
tegrity assailed. To many it would
appear that it's course would be
shaped and its lines of inquiry would
be chosen, developed or abandoned as
political ambition might prompt or
political exigency demand.
"Such a situation would be intoler-
able. There is but one course open.
The legislative inquiry must proceed
with convincing disinterestedness. Its
great opportunities must not be inl-
perilled by alternating the support to
which it is entitled, or by giving the
slightest occasion for questioning the
sincerity and single-mindedness with
which it is conducted.
"For your expression Of confidence
I thank you. The honor you would
confer upon me I most heartily es-
TEEN. Your most generous approval
and the unanimity and enthusiasm
with which the nomination was made,
I warmly appreciate. But I have as
sumed obligations of the arst import
ance. which make it impossible for
me to meet your wishes. must,
therefore, respectfully decline the
nomination.
