ogni2ed by competent physicians as
identical with the fever prevalent on
slave ships. Within a week the pes.
tilenee was epidemic In the city.
Philadelphia prominence as a part
led to several subsequent scourges of
TO originate either from a slave ship
or from a vessel coming direct from
southern port
In 1859 several thousand persons
died during an epidemic of yellow
fever n the Quaker City, and there
were subsequent destructive vista
tons In 1913, 1877 and 1902. The great
plague Of 1893 really began In New
York and spread over most of the Uni
ted States during that and the follow
ing season. The worst experience
southern Europe ever had with the
fever began at Gibraltar in 1904. A
slave ship with tie disease on board
was encountered by British mer-
chairman at sea off the Gibraltar
strait, and as there were not enough
we'll men on board to manage the ship
the captain Of the English vessel sent
several sailors aboard the SLAYER and
advised its master to put In at Glib
raltar. The SLAYER did SO. The slaves
were landed, the ship was cleaned,
and a few days later the fever was in
full blast among the soldiers of the
garrison. Over thousand soldiers
died Of tho complaint and thrice that
aumber Of civilians. Many fed, and
the conta gion was spread among the
Spanish ports OF the Mediterranean.
Ia the following summer it made its
appeaEance at Genoa and few weeks
later ut Naples, where over 1000 fatal
eas@s occurred. Thence the malady
made It's way along the Italian and
Grecsan coasts to COnstantinople,
where Il found eongenial soil. The
ports OF the orient were each stricken

pilgrim route down the Red Sea to
Mecca. Returning pilgrims bore 1t

Durag the past century the visits
OF tho dreaded disease to the United
States were numerous New Orleans
has been the chief sufferer. Epidemios
Of yellow fever prevailed there In
ls47. 1858, 1856, 1853, 1867, 1878 and
1879. The visitation of 1853 was the
most deadly, over 5000 victims having
fallen. The experience of Memphis In
1873 and 1879 IN still recalled with hor-
rot. During the first season of the
pest there were 5.160 deaths, and dur
ing the second, although the town was
almost deserted, there were several
hundred more. This pestilenee of 1879
was the most destructive Of any ever
experienced in the United States, 65,-

1880 Deaths. During the Civil War
there was scarcely a case among the
Union troops in the South, although It

Great Activity at Mukden.

Mukden. March 3.-(Delayed. )-The be- ginning of the withdrawal of the Russian right flank on March 1 precipitated bat tie at Chatna, west of Sandepas, when the right flank was ordered to fall back fighting to Toa Taitsu, near Nataran. On March the Russians captured some ma chine guns and took a number of prison CTS of General Nogi's Port Aruthur army. The Russians lost extensively although they destroyed an entire Japanese regi- ment before Chaitan with shrapnel and burned all the forage in the villages north of the Hun river The Japanese attacked Chantan from Sandepas simultaneously with an astounding advance from Lio Yang, the impression being that the Sin ninth railway was being employed by them as a line of communication.
 The combatants confront each other now for a distance of six and half miles west, the Japanese, 1t is believed, having three divisions; and the most theatrical and bold event of the war is imminent. The Rus sians consider the situation as very fla vorable to them on account of the great extension of the Japanese line.
 There Is the greatest activity at Mukden. All the streets and outlying roads are crowded with transports of the army which has been assembled to oppose Gen. eral Nogi. The events of the last three days have electrified the entire army.

It is reported that the situa- tion has somewhat improved, but it Is still extremely critical. It is reported that the Japanese have been thrown back in the district of Lunfaishan and are re- tiring along the Sinmintin road; but heavy fighting is continuing there. The Japanese vanguard posts are about six miles west of Mukden, where the burst. ing of shrapne Is plainly visible. A fight also is raging at Suchudsiapu and Lam schanpu, which on Saturday were cap tured by the Japanese after a terrible combat, the villages several times chang ing hands.
 The Japanese on Friday advanced on the Russian position at Shakhe village, but were beaten off. Twice they attacked Poutifoff. but both attacks were repused. At Oubenepusa Japanese force of over twenty battalons made thirteen attacks the night of March 3. and tno morning of March 4, storming the redoubts most furi- ously. All these attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. The ground in front of the redoubts was fairly strewn with heans of Iananese cornses

 many is Wanted KAISER IS INTERESTED Has Charged Baron sternbera to Me- gotlate Treaty That Will Improve the Trade Relations Between
 Germany and America.
KAISER IS INTERESTED

Washington, March 5.-The Berlin ad- vices through the Associated Press indi- eating a purpose on the part of the Ger man foreign office to renew its efforts to secure something in the nature of re- ciprocity treaty with the United States, have attracted much attention in official circles here, as 1t has been known for some time past that this was in con- temptation. In fact this matter has taken shape semi officially through the presen- tation to Secretary Hay of resolutions adopted by the American Board of Trade of Berlin favoring such an arrangement
 The negotiation between the German government of new treaties with Austria, France and Russia extending to those countries preferential tariff rates on many natural and manufactured products now imported In great quantities from America has made 1t certain that our trade with Germany would be almost ex- tinguished until some compensatlng ar rangement could be made Emperor Will liam. himself, has foreseen the growth of much i'll feeling between Germany and the United States as result and he has ppetldllN CiidIBtu OltIHDeTB lO uO everything possible to avert this by ne- gotiating a treaty with this government that would place American productions on an equal footing with those of Europe.
 The ambassador already has cautious ly preached the subject here, but he is so well acquainted with the state of feel ing In the United States Senate towards reciprocity that he has not been able to report that the prospect Is favorable for the consummation of German American reciprocity treaty. The present disposition of the executive is to refrain from entering upon further negotiations for trade treaties until the Senate has formally indicated it's disposition towards the formidable array of reciprocity con- ventions which have for so many months awaited action by that body, and unless the special session which begins for busl- ness purposes tomorrow develops change of heart on the part of the senators to- wards these pending treaties there will be no addition to the docket of executive business In the shape of German Ameri- can reciprocity treaty.

ENGAGED IN HEAVIEST
 ARTILLERY DUEL OF WAR,

The Japanese and Russian artillery are engaged in the heaviest duel of the war. Russian mortars are fired at the Shakhe bridge and Japanese 11-inch guns are in full play, but the Russian Notifications on which they had been working all win ter, offer a fairly secure protection for the defenders.
 There is little news of General Kuro- patkin's operations on the extreme east of the line. The Russians are holding their ground and even advancing, but it is reported that a Japanese cavalry divis- ion with twelve quick fire guns Is sweep ing far to the eastward on a rapid turn ing movement.
 The carnage at the center and both Hanks has been enormous. The Japanese at many places simply threw away their lives, beating against the Russian pow erful Notifications in attacks which, in the center apparently. were intended chiefly as a demonstration to cover the driving home of General Nogi's blow. It Is believed now that the operation to the eastward was In part the nature of a feint. with the design to draw re- Inducements thither.
