VICTIMS OF A FEUD.
Three Men Killed and Two Wounded
in Desperate Battle in
Tennessee.

Hartman, Tenn, Aug 22..-Accord-
ing to information received here,
bloody feud battle occurred near Alice
Station, on the Queen & Crescent rail
road, few miles south of Hartman
Junction. Frederick Miller and his
son, John Miller. aged 23 and Fred
Johnson. were killed, and Henry Mil
Ter. another son of Fred Miller. aged
1S, was dangerously wounded.
The men were en- route to the sta
ton, where young Miller was to leave
to join the army. When they were
two miles from the depot they were
fired upon from ambush. The elder
Miller and his son John fell dead at
the first fire, while the younger Miller
and johnson were enabled to return
the fire. So far it is not known how
many men were in the other party
Johnson was struck twice in the sec
ond voliey, and fell dead. Seeing that
he would be unable to fight the enemy
single-handed, the younger Miller rode
away with his right hand shot Off
For more than 20 years a feud war
has ragged between the Miller and
Rawlings families 1t is not known
that members of the latter family were
engaged in the fight. A posse of Off
GERS is securing the country for the
murderers. 1t is the belief of the

GIVES UP HIS POST.
Mr.. Conger Tenders His Resignation
as American Ambassador
to Mexico.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Edwin
H. Conger, OF lowe, has resigned his
post as American ambassador to Mex
leo, to take effect October Is next, and
President Roosevelt has accepted the
resignation. Mr.. Conger's retirement
from the diplomatic service was FORE
shadowed in these dispatches last
week. 1t was indicated then that he
might be sent to Peking as special
commissioner of the president to ad-
just, il possible, the differences which
have arisen between this country and
China over the boycott of American
goods by some of the Chinese CONNER
cial guilds. While no official state
ment is obtainable here regarding that
mission, there are reasons for the
statement that it either has been aban-
doned by the president or that it has
been declined by Mr.. Conger. AT any
rate. it is believed Mr.. Conger will not
go to China as representative of the
government. 1t has not been deter
mined definitely yet who will succeed
Mr.. .Conger as ambassador to Mexico.
but, as heretofore stated, it probably
will be David E. Thompson, of Nebras-
ka. now American ambassado. to Bra
zil. 1t is known that Ambassador
Thompson desires the Mexican post. In
connection with the appointment, the
name of Francis B. Loomis, assistant
secretary of state, has been mentioned,
but it can be said pretty definitely
that Mr.. Loomis will not be appointed.
His resignation as assistant secretary
of state may be expected at any time.
1t is certain that he is to retire from
the state department, but whether he
will receive an appointment in the dip
lomatic service, as has been suggested,
is thought to be somewhat problemati-
cal.

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE.
Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky and Ten
nessee Shaken by Seismic
Disturbances.

st. Louis, Aug. 22.-Illinois,
Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky
were visited by severe earthquake
shocks at 11:0S o'clock Monday night.
The entire central portion of the Mis-
sissippi valley was shaken and con-
sternation and terror followed the
shocks in places where the vibrations
were most severe. The heaving of the
earth was distinctly felt in st. Louis.
Sssngfeld, ILL.,, Cairo, ILL.,, Fair
view, ILL.,, Brownsville, Tenn, Paris,
Tenn, Paducah, KY, Memphis Tenn,
and many other towns throughout the
four states named. In St. Louis the
shocks were so severe thousands of
persons were reused from sound sleep
and sent hurrying in alarm to the tele-
phones. Dishes, doors and windows
ratified all over town and in some
places pictures fell from the walls. The
big office buildings downtown quivered
as if shaken by storm and in the
newspaper Offices where night forces
were at work the shock was instantly
noted by the trembling of desks, chairs
and tables.
At Memphis, Tenn, hundreds of
persons fled from their homes into the
streets at 11:10 o'clock, when two dis
tinct shocks started nearly every
house in the city to trembling and
quivering, threw pictures from the
walls and started dishes and windows
to rafting in a most alarming manner.
The shocks lasted almost a minute.

FIGHT MUST CONTINUE.
Citizens of New Orleans Urged Not
to Relax Efforts to Eradicate
Yellow Fever.

New Orleans, Aug. 23.-The number
of deaths reported Tuesday is trife
discouraging. but allowance must be
made, owing to the depressing heat,
which has been prevalent for some
time. 1t is hoped that the showers
which fell Tuesday may relieve this
condition, at least temporarily. One
deplorable feature which is affecting
the smaller towns contiguous to New
Orleans is what some are inclined to
call Quarantine madness" This
quarantine madness is depriving nu-
merous localities Of receiving supplies,
and should it continue any length of
time food famine may result.
The official record up to six p. m.
Tuesday is as follows: New cases, 81;
total cases to date, 1903; deaths on
Tuesday, 6; total deaths, 214; cases
now under treatment, 319.
While the leaders in the fight against
yellow fever feel that the struggle is
succeeding, beyond their expectations,
there is no disposition to lull the
public into a false sense of security,
efforts which it is essential every
householder shall make, if the present
control of the disease is to be main
tanned.

GRAIN RATE WAR,
Reduction in Carrying Charges Means
Millions of Dollars to
Farmers.

st. Paul, Minn., Aug. 21.-Oue of the
greatest rate wars between granger
roads undoubtedly will result from the
action of the Great Northern in an
nouncing sweeping reduction in it's
grain rates throughout eastern terri.
tory, extending to the boundary of
Montana. The new rates will in all
probability result in a tremendous
slashing of rates by the Chicago Great
Western, Burlington and the Northern
Pacific. 1t will reach saving of at
least one cent, and perhaps 1A cents,
on shipments of more than 200,OOO,OOO
bushels to the primary markets. This
foots up from 100000 to s3,OOO,OOO
that will remain in the pockets of the
farmers.

New Orleans, Aug 24.-Yellow fever
conditions within New Orleans are
now completely oyershadowed by those
without the city. While the fever in
the city is submitting to control, the
situation in the country districts is
less promising and both the state board
of health and the marine hospital
service now have their hands full in
trying to send adequate assistance to
those settlements which are struggling
with the disease. Scarcely day
ly infected point and unless doctors
and nurses are sent from here there
is no assurance that the fever will
not spread.
Two-Thirds of People Infected.
The worst nest thus far discovered
is at Leeville, near the mouth of
Bayou La Fourche, where nearly two
thirds of a settlement of 300 people
has been infected and where number
OF deaths have occurred. Only one
doctor is on the scene and his difficult
ties are increased by the fact that the
settlement lies on two banks of
rather wide stream. President Souchon
and his forces were Wednesday en-
gagged in making preparations to send
relief to DIR. Devron while at the same
time taking precautions to cut off
communication between Leeville and
New Orleans. There is some fear that
the Italians there will try TO return
here. thereby adding to the infection
which already exists in the foreign
quarters.
Assistance however is being asked
by other points in the matter OF
physicians and nurses. There is a
steady increase of disease at Hanson
City: in ST. Charles parish The infec-
tion is scattered and increasing and
beyond the control of the force thus
far sent there; an inspector is asked
for Port Barrow in Ascension; the in
fected points in St. Mary are asking
more help. and st. Bernard with its
large Italian population is likely to
need aid.
Meantime hopefulness continues To
pervade New Orleans The new cases
show no increase but on the contrary
are slightly declining, which is the
reverse of the experience in 1878.
Governors III Controversy.
Gov. Blanchard and Gov. Jellls
threaten to become engaged in a con-
troversy over the quarantine regula-
tions of Alabama The trouble grows
out of complaint made by citizens of
Louisiana who had left Louisiana and
were not permitted to pass through
Alabama unless they had spent seven
days in detention. In one case a promi-
nent cotton man who had business in
Atlanta went there and transnGt ted his
business in day. He started back to
New Orleans but was Intercepted in
Alabama and sent back to Atlanta on
the ground that he must have been
seven days out of Louisiana before
he could pass through Alabama on his
return. Gov. Blanchard in Il letter to
Gov. Jelks says he doubts whether
any state in the union has n right to
interfere with interstate passenger
traffic and expresses the hope that the
matter will be taken into the federal
courts for a test.
