lie at anchor for six days before pro-
ceeding to New Orleans. No other
cases of elevated temperature have
yet appeared on the Holstein.
DR.. C. H. Irion, president of tbs
state board OF health, said to he n
speeding party that he does not 5s-
Heve that yellow fever is endemic at
New Orleans or in Louisiana. He
held that developments so far this
year, in which no cases Of yellow
fever have been found by the board
in the state except the one brought
on the Holstein from Havana, indi-
Gates that the disease does not orig
mate locally.
He said that 50 long as present
quarantine regulations are maintains
ed in Louisiana he believes there witt
never be another epidemic Of yellow
fever in New Orleans. At present fys
quarantine stations are operated by
the state along the Gulf Of Mexico
coast
The existence of yellow fever at
Rio Janeiro and also of two cases Of
bubonic plague at that port, were re-
ported to the state board by officers

SENATE CONFIRMS BARNES
Man Charged With Election Of Woman
from White House is Now Wash
ington Postmaster.

luS tUu IOOtA1dSsCIs
Benjamin F. Barnes, assistant sec
rotary to the president, was Satu;-
day confirmed by the senate as post
master at Washington. The vote was
35 to Is, and by the same vote, a
resolution was defeated providing tor
an investigation of the incident in
March, when, by order OF Mr.. Barnes,
Mrs. Minor Morris was elected from
the white house Office, where she
sought an interview with the presi-
dent to urge him to reappoint her
husband to a position in the public
health and marine hospital service,
from which he had been removed.
The nomination had been pending in
the senate since April 2.
The procedure in the senate, though
behind closed doors, was dramatic
in the extreme. Senator TiIlman went
over the testimony he had gathered
preparatory to Offering it to the COM
mittee on postoff1ce and post roads,
but which was declined by that com
1nittee when it refused to enter upon
an investigation of the Mrs Morris
incident He took up the evidepce,
discussed it analytically, but dispas-
sionately. He had read the statement
of eye-witnesses to the affair, and
then drew from under his desk n
black silk skirt worn by Mrs Nor
ris when she was carried or drag
ged," as he claimed from the wnlte
house. It was torn and muddy, show
ing clearly the imprints Of shoes. 1t
was charged by Mr.. TilIm8n that the
lower part of the woman's body had
been trampled on by the police Off
ce~s and the white house attendant,
including a negro, who had assisted
in taking her to carriage.
No effort was made by any sena.
tor to defend the action of the Police
Senator Carter said that if there had
been any assault upon the woman
the police alone were to blame, and
that it was unfortunate for Mr..
Barnes that he had been involved.
Senator Garter said Mr.. Barnes could
not be held responsible for what the
police had done, and that ill-tre2t-
ment, if any had been done, occurred
outside of the Offices, and after the
woman had passed from his notice.
Two votes were had by the senate
the first on a resolution by Senator
Culberson, for an investigation Of the
incident, and the second on the nom
nation. After the latter vote Sen
ator Tillman gave notice that on
Tuesday Immediately after the morn
ing business, he would repeat in the
open senate the remarks he had made
behind closed doorG.
He said he would exhibit the torn
clothing of Tdrs. Morris in order That
the country should be informed OF [ne
entire affair. He will find the &C
casion for this exhibition in moving
for vote on his resolution asking
for an investigation of the Washing
ton police force, in connection with
this incident.
During his speech Senator Tillman
eai5 er-+ if was a peculiar coinei-
dence that the only eyewitnesses WHO
defended the white house incident
were Elmer E. Paine, newspaper
man who had received a naval acad-
envy appointment for his son, and tho
police. whose superintendent, Richard
Sylvester, had received a like favor
from the hands of the president.

FATE OF GREAT CITIES
AS SHOWN BY RECORD
Most of Them I'm Their Turn Have
Had Their Share of
Disaster

Sooner or later 1t seems. every CITY
in the country is sure 70 have its
great calamity. New York has had
its blizzard. Charleston its earth
quake, Galveston It's deluge, Johns
town its flood. Chicago and Baltimore
their fires, New Orleans its pestiIence,
st. Louis it's cyclone, Pittsburg its
riots, Paterson its dread trinity OF
flame, flood and tOrnado, the cities OF
the lower Mississippi Valley their
freshets, and now San Francisco and
the sister cities of the coast. ruin in
earthquake and fire. Somewhere
every year IL seems to be the case
that the destruction that befen the
ancient cities of the plain Is TO be re-
peated, to awaken the same super
stitious dread and remind humanity
that God made the country and man
made the town.
Why is 1T that the lament, Baby
Ion is fallen. is fallen" must be ut
tered every year? The reason is as
prosaic as the force of gravitation.
but, 1t may be, as formidable as that
force working through an earthquake
shock. Where a multitude OF people
are gathered together the forces exist
for converging a calamity that would
dissipate itself unnoticed In a wilder
ness or pastoral country. A great
city means great population to dis
seminate contagiOn. It means a site
on a navigable river that may be
murderously swollen in a freshet. or
on a bay Of the ocean out OF which
a stolen tide may come. As for the
wind. it "bloweth where 1t listeth. 4"
and a storm that in a farming coun-
try might uproot a few trees and un-
roof a few cottages. in a city may
topple down walls on a sleeping popu-
lation and lend wings to the death
angel OF fire.
The life of the ordinary individual
contains few startling incidents. but
a city may live for hundreds of thou
sands of years, and sooner or later
something will happen to IL that will
be matter for history.-New York

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

VALLEJO, July Fired Stock re-
turned to San Francisco today after an
extended conference with Attorney F.
r. Devlin and j. W. Hartzell local rep
resentatives of the San Francisco and
Great Eastern Railroad Company,
which has been incorporated to build

ZIONISTS FAVOR SUPPORT
OF PALESTINE ACTIVITIES
Federation Convention Receives Letters
Urging Upbuilding of Established
Institutions in Holy Land.

TANNERSVILLE, n. Y, July A
letter from DR.. Max Nordau of Paris,
appealing for the support of the estab-
lished Jewish Institutions in Palestine,
aroused much enthusiasm at today's
session of the Federation of American
Zionists. A communication from Pro-
fessor Otto Warburg, head of the Pal
estine Commission, pointed out the po-
litical, industrial and agricultural pos
sibilities of Palestine. The commission
recommended the organization of COM
mercial. industrial and agricultural
commissions for the exploitatio of the
resources of Palestine
DR.. H. Perriera Mendez, president of
the American branch of the Jewish
Territory Association, startled the con-
vention by declaring that the report of
the commission proved that there is no
need for. any other organization to un-
dertake relief work for Jews or for
other activities elsewhere. only when
activities are impossible in Palestine
need relief work be undertaken else
where he said. This statement was
regarded by the convention as notice
for the early dissolution of the terrific
rial movement which aims to secure a
grant of land for a Jewish autonomous
state.

Dress Allowances of Royal Daughters

People sometimes wonder what sum
is put aside for dress by the daughters
of royal houses.
Before her marriage, / read the
other day, the Duchess of Fife was
said to have a small dress allowance,
and the sum of $500 a year was
mentioned. Besides yachting and
everyday dresses, and all the usual
costumes required by girl of the
upper class, royal princesses have also
to wear the costly and elaborate
dresses which their rank demands at
the weddings of their near relations.
On the whole, it may be asserted
that a frugal princess may spend as
little as $4,000 a year on her dress,
while her more wealthy and extrava-
CANT sister may find her dress bills
amount to ten times that sum.
The Empress of Russia. who more
than any other European lady is able
TO indulge her widest fancies, dresses
with the greatest simplicity-in the
daytime mostly in tailor-made coats
and skirts, in the evening generally in
the purest white.-Tatler.
