SECRETARY BoNAPARTE'S COM
MENT ON MARYLAND ELECTION.
Assistant Secretary Taylor THINKS
That the Democrats Have Been
Furnished With an Issue.

Keen interest In the result OF yesterdays
elections was manifested today in admin
istration and political circles generally.
President Roosevelt and members of the
cabinet were informed OF the latest re-
turns from the doubtful states and cities.
many messages from private sources, as
well as news received by the press associa-
lions, being conveyed promptly to the
White House.
The President did not have any statement
to make today as to the result OF the cleo
lions. He was interested In the fights in
all directions, especially In New York his
former home. He received bulletins Of the
elections until midnight last night, and
they were delivered to him today.
All Work Repaid by Results.
Secretary Root declined to make any
comment on the result of the elections, but
Secretary Bonaparte said:
Among the unfortunate features Of the
present election law Of Maryland. features
due entirely to the partisan legislation OF
the special session of 1901. and to the So
called Wilson BILL are wholly unreason-
able delay in ascertaining the results OF an
election and excessive fatigue and diScom-
fort to the election officers with consequent
danger Of mistakes on their part during
the protracted and complicated count.
For these reasons / cannot say, as yet,
what are all the results of the election
just held but two seem to be assured
namely that the Poe amendment Is de-
feated by decisive majority and the re-
publicans have elected enough members OF
the next general assembly to prevent the
passage of any new election laws over the
governors veto. and the submission to the
voters of any new amendments to the con-
stitution. 1t may be that we have accom-
plished more than this, and hope we have.
I,,t how All doon co
enough to repay all of us for the time,
trouble and labor involved in doing 1t.
LAS for myself, have had some part in
the good work, but some part only. and
am in nowise disposed to magnify its I'M
portance. 1 have given. the party leaders
such advice and other assistance as they
asked and I could render. and 1t Is a source
of much qualification to me that my coun-
sells seem to have geen judcious, as shown
by the event, and my work seems to have
been in measure effective But I have
not been, nor pretended to be, the whole
thing even very large part Of the
whole thing in this campaign. and 1 ex-
pect to be no more in future than 1 have
been in the past. All the men who have
done the work deserve to share the credit,
and 1 claim to be only one among many
such men, although circumstances may
have made me somewhat unduly promi-
nent."

A NEW ouARANrINE

Houston, Texas, Aug. 3.-CaIcasieu
parish, Louisiana, today notified
Southern Pacific officials that no freight
or passenger trains would be permitted
to enter that parish after midnight to-
night This quarantine shuts off all
communication between Houston and
New Orleans and prevents mail coming
through directly. There are now more
than 100 persons in the detention camp
at Echo, on the state line and they are
making bitter complaints about the
lack of facilities. Appeal was made
today to Governor Lanham for an i'm
provement in the conditions. 1t is said
there are barely enough to eat and
there are no adequate sleeping facili-
ties.
Since the report of a suspicious case
of the fever at Texarkana. Greg coun5y.
has given orders that trains shall not
stop in the county either north Or
south and that all stations must be ap-
prOachsd with doors locked and win
dows closed, and all freight cars must
be sealed.

NEGRO MISAPPREHFNSION
His Apology for Shooting Han and
Woman.

Lewisville, Ark. Aug. 3.-After kill
ing two persons. seriously and prob
ably fatally shooting two others, one
woman, and less seriously shooting
two mora, Ike Kinney, a desperate ne
gro, was killed in the river bottom at
Doella, six miles south of Lewisville
at noon today after a hot fight with
a posse of citizens that had surround
ed him.
Kinney killed a negro at Stamps or
Wednesday, fed and while being pur-
sued by q. posse. shot and killed f. r.
Ferguson At o'clock this morning
three miles from Lewisville, the negro
met Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart Of Green's
burg, and Immediately began firing.
After shooting and seriously wound
ing both. the negro told them that he
| thought they were members of a posse
and assured them he was sorry that
he had fired on them. Later this
morning about twenty-five men with
dogs started on Iinney's trail. \ few
members of the searching party fin
ally located Kinney in the bottom near
Doella, a plantation postOffice. As
soon as the posses had arrived and be-
gun to close in on the negro, he open
ed fire. c. F. Nash lost a finger. Al l.
vim Barham was shot through the neck
and seriously wounded. Then w. G..
Nash sent a bullet into the negro and
he tumbled over dead. Fifteen hun
dred dollars had been offered for the
capture of Kinney dead or alive.

forcing sanitary and hygienic meas
ures. No one seems to have had any
idea until the developments of the past
two weeks of the deplorable conditions
that have existed in the Italian quar-
ter Hundreds of people have been
found crowded into ramshackle ten
ements, some of them built perhaps
a century ago, and surrounded with
none of the essentials of the most
primitive sanitation and hygiene.
The district has been a rich field for
the planting of epidemic diseases, and
there is a strong demand that laws
shall be passed and enforced to revo-
lutionize these conditions, not only in
the present infected area, but in 9TH
er parts of the city 1t is not i'm
probable also that the movements to
bring italian immigrants here on a
large scale will suffer. partly by rea-
son of the terror which the present in
fectiOn has spread among the Italians
and partly by reason of the entirely
unwarranted prejudice which seems to
have arisen against extensive Italian
colonization. With the negroes. flock
ing to the city. Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi planters have had a difficult
problem to solve in obtaining adequate
labor to till their fields Thousands
ed negroes in the sugar fields of Lou
isiana and as the Italian is usually an
excellent laborer there has been for
some time a strong movement to pro-
vide such facilities in the way of i'm
migration as would divert to this gate
way a larger proportion of Italian i'm
migrants.
Much surprise was expressed at the
state board of health when a dispatch
reached it today from DIR. Gremillon,
at Alexander. announcing the appear
ance of a case of yellow fever there.
Rapides parish had taken extraordi-
nary measures to keep out the infec-
tion and it was thought that none of
the fugitive Italians would be able to
pass the Gordon of guards with which
she had surrounded herself. The Alex
ander case was traced to New Orleans
and that opens up the question of the
efficiency of certain quarantines estab-
lished in the country parishes. The
period of incubation of yellow fever
is five days and this Italian. therefor.
must have got into Rapides within
that time, although the quarantine has
been in effect for a much longer pc
riod- There is naturally much anx-
iety among health officials to know
how many more Italians have slipped
out of New Orleans recently and man
aged to make their way into minfecL-
ed localities.
DR.. c: NJ. Brady returned today from
Lake Providence, La. on the Missis-
sippi river in north Louisiana, bring
ing the information that Italians who
invaded that section have been com
pletely isolated and are constantly un-
der observation. The case of fever
there is carefully guarded and every
precautiOn has been taken to prevent
further infection.

lain unidentified in a receiving vault
in this city for nine months, is that

examination.
Letters from Mrs. B. e. A. Douglas
of FIT. Worth to the chief of police
here and from Mrs. Louisiana Douglas
Of Lamberts Point, Va, to Mrs. Doug
las of Texas, contain evidence of the
statement that Douglas was married
to at least four women. Two of the
Mrs. Douglases are known at present
and are women in California and Den
YER from whom the former wife has
heard. All Of the women claim, ac-
cOrding to letters, to have been de-
serted shortly after marriage and Mrs
B. E. A. Douglas declares that Doug
