 Birmingham is Strict.
 The city of Birmingham is enforcing a strict quarantine against Montgomery and all infected places Many refugees from infected points are passing through Birmingham. The northbound Alabama Great Southern Railroad train (Queen and Crescent Route) today was run in two sections, the second arriving here at 1 o'clock this afternoon. There were eight large cars, the people aboard being mostly from the northern part of Louisiana and Mississippi. Where the passengers were from infected points, the quarantine officials would not permit windows to be opened. The 200 and odd passengers on the second train complained bitterly of having nothing to eat or drink since last night and an effort was made to give them sandwiches and some coffee here.
 Superintendent A. Griggs and Train master Horace Vance of the Alabama Great Southern were at the station when the second section arrived, and announced that the train would be held here until everybody was able to get locked and no one was allowed to get off at this point Care was taken that no one should have contact with the passengers.
 dozen police officers in full uniform from Chattanooga arrived in Birming- ham this morning working on the quar- antine regulations. The number was increased this morn Ing on the informa- ton that a large lumber of refugees would pass throu i the city going to Chattanooga.
 B. Frank Voc, the State and City Health Officer. is keeping a watch on the incoming trains that no one from infected points should get into Birm:ng- ham, He had to knock a negro down this afternoon at the depot because the negro persisted in going up to a train bearing refugees. The officer Is deter mined in carrying out his work and Is keeping his assistants in strict rein.

Inasmuch as no motion has been submitted before the house. l presume that l am given carte blanche to discuss the situation gen. erally In regard to the present yell low fever agitation, l wish to state that I have had apprehensions since early in the spring of what we are now experiencing. These apprehen- sions were based on public facts that the disease e-isted in many parts of Central America. and that on account there was danger of importation to this country, and principally to the State of Alabama. have made a personal visit to New Orleans to the place where the discovery was first made and inquired thoroughly into the
