products.
Ambassador Conger, who has been
scarcely more than three months at his
new post in the City of Mexico, was
summoned to the United States to con-
fer with the president about the Chi
nese boycott of American goods. He
had a long conference with the presi

interview, it is known that the am
bassador will not return to Mexico, and
arrangements are making for his pro-
jected mission to Peklng.
Mr.. Conger spent eight years in China
as the American minister. He is well
known and popular among the officials
of the Peking government, and is in

NEW ORLEANS, Aug.
By Associated Press.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 17.-While
the daily record of new cases shows
tendency to rise slowly the deaths are
still fewer, which stimulates the hope
for better things before long.
The most important news outside
the city came from La Fourche par
ish, where the. parish health officer re-
ports widespread infection in the Lee
vile settlement at the mouth of Bayou
La Fourche. He says there are prob
ably hundred cases of sickness there.
He diagnosed six as yellow fever and
classes the others as either a mild
type of yellow fever or dengue. This
point is so miles south of the Southern
Pacific railway. The inhabitants of
and oyster men and they have been in
close communication with New Or
leans. A case was found in Raine, in
Acadia parish. just across the street
from the, dead case discovered there
yesterday. There are four new cases
at Mississippi city, making thirteen
now under treatment.
The discovery of this nest of infec-
tion on the Mississippi coast of such
long standing has caused a good deal
of perturbation in Mississippi, and
there is now a fear that cases may ap-
pear where least expected.

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. flowing to
the inability of Engineer Reig to con-
troll his airbrakes, an excursion train
from Kingston, N. c. bound to this
city, plunged through an open draw
over the Twin branch of the Elizabeth
river, eight miles from Norfolk this
afternoon and half hundred persons,
mostly negroes, were drowned. Up to
late hour tonight only seven bodies
had been recovered from the wreckage
The list of injured, so far as can be
ascertained, numbers nearly 100, though
most of these are slightly hurt.
Among the victims the only white
ones were Edward Joliffe, manager of
the excursion, and Edward Forbes, who
assisted him, both of Greenville, N. c.
With the exception of the train crew
and the promoters of the excursion all
aboard were negroes.
The engineer, fireman and conductor
escaped.
The specific orders of the road to
stop all trains at the bridge whether
the draw is open or not, was appar-
emily ignored. The train plunged into
the abyss. Both engineer and fireman
discovered the open draw too late to
stop. The airbrakes were applied but
did not work properly.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 17.-That the
better classes of Chinese are discrim-

tent, that a less stringent administra-
tion of the exclusion law, or If neces-
sary limited construction is advisable,
was urged by the speakers on Oriental
trade at the second days session of

gress today.
These ideas were brought out with
especial force by Hon. John Barrett,
United States minister to Colombia,
and by Theodore B. Wilcox, president
of the congress.
An unfortunate incident occurred
prior to adjournment for the day which
materially marred the success of the
session. After listening to flood of
oratory that had extended over nearly
four hours, barring Interruptions from
the resolutions committee, which was
impatient to get started in it's work.
the delegates openly rebelled against
the further continuation of the pro-
gram, and slight was cast upon two
of the speakers, which, though unin-
tended, nevertheless caused keen hurt
An injudicious motion was made after
G. w. Dickie of San Francisco had con-
cluded his address that the remaining
speeches, those of P. ]. Won Lobensels
and Benjamin C. Wright of San Fran
cisco, be read by title, placed on the
records of the congress and copies fur
nished to the press. The chairman re-
fused to entertain the motion, but the
damage had been done and both
speakers, offended at the conduct of

journ and the session came to an

following declaration of principles:
"Whereas, the agricultural, manufac-
turing and other industries of this
country have expanded to such an ex-
tent that they can no longer depend
upon the home market for the con-
sumption of their entire product; and
"Whereas, the export trade has be-
come vital support to many Of our
industries; and,
whereas, the present commerciarat-
titude of the United States, largely ow-
ing to our failure to carry into effect
the reciprocity trade provisions of sec
ton " of the Dingley law is antago-
nizing foreign nations, whose good will
we desire, and on whom we have
hitherto depended as purchasers of our
surplus products, therefore, be 1t
"Resolved, first that this convention.
recognizing the principle of protection
as the established policy of our coun-
try, advocates reciprocal concessions by
means of a dual or maximum and mini
mum tariff as the most adequate and
practical method of relieving the
strained situation with which we are
now confronted.
Second, that the question of the
and items to be considered in
such reciprocal concessions preferably
be suggested by permanent tariff
commission to be created by congress
and appointed by the president, which
shall consist Of economic, industrial and
commercial experts.
Third, that it is the sense of this
convention that our present tariff af-
fords abundant opportunity for such
concessions without injury to industry,
trade or the wages of labor.
Fourth, that we urge action upon
congress at the earliest time possible.
