JOINT CONFERENCE.

New Orleans. April 12.-Congress- man Ransda,l of Louisiana, who is here from Washington, eXresses con- hdence that the Williams quarantine bill will come out victorious in the joint conference of the senate and house committies. The Mallory bill has passed the senate and the Will. jams bill has passed the house. The latter goes further than the former ir that it makes it a felony to stop through trains, which originate in in- fected localities. This does not i'm r,y that such trains may be allowed to discharge passengers or freight in states which are quarantined against another. but that these trains may he allowed to traverse ad- j9cent states unmolested. The cer- taintv of tho mosquito transmission nf yellow fever has robbed the dis the United States Marine hospital in chare of the coast quarantine with inspectors in the Latin republics, the danger Of invasion from Central Amer ica is practically eliminated. The Pan-American conference at Rio de Janeiro, will advocate sanitation and mosquito eXtermination as general proerala for the Central and South American republics, and should the ill for which congressman John Sharp Williams has labored so hard go through, the health matters of the south will have taken a long step toward security.
 The woman was arraigned before Judge Toney in police court this morning and committed to the county jait to await an examination before the county judge as to her sanity. She is undoubtedly insane. as she screamed and created an uproar all night in the jail, and this morning it took three of the strongest officers on the force to remove her to the county iail She will undoubtedly be sent to the asylum at Little Rock.

GRAND JURY ACTS
Arrests at Fort Shit? on Bench War
 rants Charging Fraud.

Fort Smith, April l2.-Tom w. Neal. John London and J NJ Lang. StOn ir., the latter one of the direc= tors of the Southern Bank and Trust company were this evening arrested upon indictments found by the grand jury. This morning Neal went to the bond and Was informed that no War rant had been issued for him, but subsequently learned that he and London had been indicted on a charge of conspiracy to deflaud.
 Langston is charged with !ralG. There Were four other indie tmonts returned, but as yet no warrants have been issued. and the identity of the indicted persons is still q se- eret. II is believed, however, that they are against other directors of the bank
 It is claimed by attorneys here that the indictments can be quashed on. the ground of irregularities in the grand jury room. Col Oglesby counsel for the receiver, is said to have conducted the examinations in the grand jury room.
 Tbe mystery surrounding the in dictments upon which warrants have been served and those not yet serV- ed is causing d great deal of street speculation, as in some of the cases instructions Were given not 10 issue warrants until ordered then the War rants were issued. then withdrawn 0fore service and subsequently reis. sued.
 Tom Neal and John London say they will demand immediate trials and affirm that their indictment is the result of their expressed inten- ton 10 bring shit against the 5tocli- holders to compel payment of de. positOrs and that the suits are in course of preparation.
 Prosecuting Attorney Cravens had nothing to do with the indictments thus found. the grand jury securing the services of Col. Oglesby to con duet the examination of witnesses.
