STATES THAT SICKNESS IS IN NEARLY ALL CAMPS AND MANY DEATHS Monterey, Mexico. September 20.—Dr. Roy Martin, quarantine Inspector for the government, who recently returned from Llnarez, declares that the city is dead, commercially, and partly deserted on ac count of the prevalence of yellow fever, although there arc less than 200 cases In Llnarez. There are fully 2000 persons sick with various ailments. Latest advices from Victoria state that but twelve cases of yellow fever exist in that city. The municipal authorities of Victoria now feel that they have the sit uation well in hand and will shortly have stamped out,the fever. Mr. W, H. Leonard, representative of the Bridge and Masonry Contract corps on the Monterey division of the Central railroad, reports a most deplorable situa tion among the different construction camps along the line. He says that there Is scarcely a camp without fever, and that there are many deaths. As these camps must be more or less centers of Infection, It would be well to close them up until the epidemic has passed. Ramplco Is largely diminishing the num ber of cases of yellow fever, the average number of cases weekly now being seven. tion of tithes the second; disestablish ment of the English church, the third; the extended franchise, the fourth; the first land bill, the fifth; the Ashburn land act, the sixth; the establishment of the land courts, the seventh; the estab lishment of the county councils, the eighth, and the passage of the land pur chase bill, the latest enactment, the ninth. There remain but one more letter to be written and that is the national Independence of Ireland and that is bound to come, and cannot be long de layed.” Charles R. Devlin, M. P.. representing Galway in place of Colonel Lynch, the Irishman sentenced to life imprisonment because he fought with the Boers against England, was the last speaker. Mr. Devlin spoke on contemporary English politics. When he mentioned Joseph Chamberlain's name the audience hissed. "As one of your papers said today,” Mr. Devlin said, “Chamberlain was riding for a fall, and he got It. Chamberlain got his fall and he will never rise again. And the reason was that he denied Ire land her rights. Lord Rosebery resign ed and he has never risen again. We have seen the last of Chamberlain.” FIGHT ON AMONG BRIDGE WORKERS ARRIVAL OF SAM PARKS IN KAN SAS CITY AROUSES MUCH AC TIVITY AMONG DELEGATES TO NATIONAL CONVENTION. Kansas City. Mo.. September 20.-Sam Parks of New York arrived in this city tonight to attend the convention of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers which will meet here to morrow. His arrival aroused much ac tivity among the delegates already here, an activity which presages a lively 1 ght. when the committee on credentials shall report on the convention in the morning. Parks is a member of local union No. 2 of New York, which was suspended by President Buchanan after Parks' re cent imprisonment, and another local union, No. 2, was established. The ex ecutive committee of the organization did not ratify the action of President Buchanan and Parks and his partisans assert that the action of the president is therefore null and void. The local union of which Parks was. or is, a mem ber in New York has sent a delegation of which Parks is a member to the convention and the local union which was organized after Parks and his local union was suspended, also sent a dele gation. President Frank Buchanan of Chicago, who is an anti-Parks man, is a candl date for re-election. H. F. Donnelly of Albany, N. Y., Parks' supporter, is also a candidate for president. The Parks and anti-Parks following will be manifest in every contest In the convention. The side which pairs the supremacy in the seating of the contesting delegations to morrow will probably control every im portant action of the convention. WRECK ON THE SEABOARD. Bridge Foreman W. S.

Brown, a bridge foreman, and splintering and burning up two cars of cotton. A coroner’s inquest rendered a ver dict to the effect that Brown came to his death through the negligence of the engineer running the second section of the train. Chinook, Mont., September 20.—Posses are scouring every section of the county in the vicinity of Bear Paw mountains after “Kid” Currey, alias Harvey I.ogan, the leader of the gang which held up two Great Northern express trains on July 3. 1901. and who escaped from the Knoxville, Tenn.. jail while awaiting transportation to the Ohio penitentiary to serve out a twelve years’ sentence for forging signa tures to the stolen bank bills obtained in the robbery. Posses Equal to Occasion. The posses are composed of men well acquainted with the country in which Currey is traveling and who are equally as quick on the trigger as he or any of his gang. It is many miles from where the search is being prosecuted to the near est telegraph station, and it may be days after an encounter before anything is known of what happened. Currey has many friends in the country through which he is passing and they will aid him to reach the rendezvous of his gang, where he will be safe in the fastnesses of the Bear Paw mountains from pursuit or capture. When last heard from on Saturday he was only ten miles from his destination and well mounted. As the posses only got started this noon. , the chances are all in Currey’s favor. BULGARIA TOASTS PRES. ROOSEVELT PRINCE FERDINAND IS MUCH PLEASED OVER FACT THAT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS HAVE BEEN RESTORED. Sofia, Bulgaria, September 20.—Prince Ferdinand last evening gave a dinner party at the palace in honor of J. B. Jackson, who In the afternoon had pre sented hlR credentials as the first lean diplomatic agent to Bulgaria. The guests Included F. E. H. Elliott, the British diplomatic agent, and the Bul garian ministers and high officials. Prince Ferdinand proposed the health of President Roosevelt, speaking in En glish. and the court band played a se lection of American airs. Great satisfaction Is expressed. not only In official, but also in commercial circles, at America’s action in estab lishing diplomatic relations with Bulga ria. The belief prevails that a great opportunity exists for developing a profitable export and import trade with the United States. NEWSPAPER MAN DIES. In Fit of Distraction His Wife Takes Her Own Life.

BY WATTEROON STEALEY. Washington, September 20.—(Special.)— It is a little haid to understand among some public men, not unfamiliar with good practical politics, the reason why congress should be called into extra ses sion only a month previous to the regu lar session, the tirst Monday in Decem ber. It is now generally admitted that the republicans have about agreed to “stand pat” upon the tariff question and also to do little, if anything, in alter ing the present financial laws of the country. This being the case the only reason given why congress should meet in extra session would be to pass the Cuban reciprocity measure. This of it self is not considered a good and suffi cient reason, for three w’eeks or a month's time would hardly make any difference in the outrageous attitude the republican party has assumed in the past two years on this question. An extra session of congress, followed by the long session of six months, will, however, give the republicans plenty of ^tlme to do or not to do all that they have in view and if they fail to do any thing of substantial benefit to the people, as is now most likely, their party will have to pay the cost of the failure. Un der these circumstances democrats can look forward with complacency upon the assembling of congress in extra and regular session. Diversity of Opinion. There is wide diversity of opinion among republican leaders on the ques tion of finance and it is hardly possible for any bill to be framed which will .have full party indorsement. As an In stance Secretary Shaw in a speech In Chicago a few days ago announced what is accepted as the administration plan of action. This has been by no means agreed upon. In the senate the leading faction, headed by Senator Aldrich, whose pet project contemplates the de posit of custom receipts in national banks, is opposed to Secretary Shaw's ideas. In the house the “asset currency” faction is |’;o oppos'd to Mr. Shaw and Senator Aldrich. This is a candttlon: of congusion and dissension created at the outset. Certain republicans in congress are ju bilant over the lack of union upon tho financial question, seeing in that con- • ditlon a club to beat off any movement for tariff revision. To start a financial discussion in the senate means months of long speeches. Thus the tariff can be let alone. President's Message. It is expected that the President's mess age to the extra session will be brief and it Is not unlikely that it will deal with Cuban reciprocity alone though something may be said upon the currency question. Cfeneral subjects will be left for the reg ular session a month later. At the beginning of the last congress Mr. Roosevelt strongly recommended tar iff revision. Subsequently In a speech in the west he advised that no action be ta ken until after the elections of next year. There seems to be no doubt that the Pres ident never had any real intention of try ing to enforce his tariff revision views. As to Cuban reciprocity the feeling at present is that it will go through without much opposition at the extra session. It is expected that during the first week of congress the ways and means committee will report a resolution granting the re duction of the Dingley tariff rates as giv en in the treaty. This will go through the house, and then to the senate, where fav orable action before the regular session is expected. Mormon Issue. According to information received from the west, the state of Idaho in particular, j the Issue of Mormonism again promises to'be raised through that territory. Dem ocratic politicians from that section con tend that the Mormon church has Its hand Into politics and through the repub licans is controlling the nominations for national and local of flees. It is now said that the fight will ’oe opened by Senator Dubois of Idaho, who Is reported to be against the retention In j the senate of Senator Smoot, against whom a edntest has been Inaugurated not j only in Utah, but by petition of thousands of citizens throughout the country. Of course It Is highly improbable that Smoot will be unseated, as the senate has a lit tle more regard for the legal aspects of the case than did the house in the Roberts case, hut Senator Dubois does hope to work up a state of public feeling against the Mormons which he hopes will be strong enough by 1907 to return him to the United States senate. In his contest he I hopes to enlist the support of women vot ers of the state—for women voters in Ida ho—as well as the support of the evangel ical clergy and of a disaffected wing of I the republican party. Dubo*s Planning Vengeance. Dubois has been planning vengeance ever since the state election of 1902, when the Mormons, who control six or seven VAUGHAN FACTION MAY NOW GAIN ASCENDENCY SULTAN REGRETS RECENT EXCESSES IN AN AUDIENCE WITH RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR M. ZINOVIEFF HE INTIMATES THAT GUILTY PAR TIES WILL BE PUNISHED. Constantinople, September 20.—In an audience with M. Zinovieff, the Russian ambassador, Friday, the sultan ex pressed his regret at the excesses com mitted by the Turkish troops In the vilayets of Monastir and Adrianople. He said that orders had been sent to the, authorities concerned to prevent their repetition and he gave the Russian am bassador to understand that the guilty parties would be punished. The German ambassador, Baron Marschall von Piebersteln, also had an audience with the sultan, who showed himself most optimistic. The latter de clared that the insurrection was draw ing to a close. In fact, it had already been suppressed in some districts, and the porte would, therefore, Immediate ly issue proclamations announcing the resumption of the application of the re form scheme. After the granting of these audiences an extraordinary council of ministers was held at Yldiz Kiosk, and the delib erations were continued on Saturday, it is understood that the council drew up fresh instructions to the valis In the sense of his majesty’s declaration. Official dispatches from the vails of Salonica. Monastir and Adiranople re port numerous encounters which result ed in favor of the Turks. counties in the southern part of Idaho, voted the republican ticket practically in a body, and insured the return of a re publican to succeed Senator Heitfleld. The storm broke out a few weeks ago when the secretary of the treasury call ed for tho resignation of John W. Cun ningham, assayer at Boise, and signi fied its intention to appoint II. S. Wooley, who, until three months ago. w'as a Mormon bishop, and who, it is charged, resigned his bishopric, know ing that he was to be given a federal office. The prospective appointment of Wooley has created a factional row In the republican camp, and has according ly played Into Dubois’ hand. An earn est protest has been forwarded to Pres ident Roosevelt against the appointment of the bishop, and many believe that the President can be Induced to reconsider, especially as ho issued a "statement” against Smoot, before he was elected to the senate. In the same connection, strange ns It may seem, this same pres idential 'statement” was thought by Dubois and other democrats to b» an excellent thing for the democratic party as it would probably give them the Mormon vote. Idaho Democrats. The Idaho democrats are now clam oring for the re-establishment of the test oath, which requires every voter to declare that he is not living in a state of polygamy and that he owed no allegiance to an ecclestical power sup perior to the allegiance owed to the national or state government. The real beginning of the present Mor mon trouble is due to the undented statement that in the last presidential campaign the heads of the Mormon , church entered Into an agreement with Chairman Hanna of the republican na tional committee to deliver to the re publican party the states of Idaho. Wyoming and Utah in return for which, it is claimed, Hanna guaranteed the op position of the republican national or ganization to any further attempt to unseat Mormons who might be sent to Washington. Whether this agreement was made or not the Mormons carried out their part of the alleged contract, and voted the republican ticket. AMERICANS SEE BULL FIGHT. Six Bulls and Several Horses Were Slain at Luarez. Dallas, Tex., September 20.—A special to the News from El Paso, Tex., says: The new fifty thousand dollar bull ring at Luarez, on the Mexican border, was formally opened here today In the pres ence of ten thousand people, chiefly Amer icans.

A big parade was held this afternoon, '’he business sessions be gin tomorrow and will continue four days. PANAMA WANTS TREATY SATISFACTORY TO 1. S. Panama, Colombia, September 20.—Sen ator Obaldia today took over the func tions of governor of Panama. The event was the occasion for great popular dem onstrations by all parties. It Is thought that the appointment of Governor Obal dia may perhaps exert lnliuence against secessionist ideas, not only becausg he is a native of Panama, which fact en gages tor him the sympathies of all, but i because his appointment apparently Is a part of a general plan, the result of wh»h will be the election of General ! Reyes to the presidency, and the ap ! proval of a canal treaty satisfactory to j the United Slates. I Governor Obald#i in his reply to Ur. Florentine Goenaga, president of the high court of justice, said: ”1 maintain, because they were well meditated, the sincere opinions I express ed as a senator of the republic. I con sider that the interests of the world urgently demand the construction of a canal und they have a right to ask our co-operation. The concessions, the ob ject of which Is to serve these interests, though they may imply a sacrifice of sovereignty are not against the national dignity. We cannot deny civilization what It requires from us—to continue its, victorious march.” All the speeches delivered at today’s function, not only by Isthmians. Hut by natives of the rest of the republic. dei> onstrated that all the inhabitants^ Panama are in fa* or of the treaty. t Report Correol in lAlastiinglon That Roosevelt May Retoro to Former leaders PRESENT REFEREES MM BE REAR IN NAME RNIY Said That Combination Must be Mado With Either Vaughan or Bing ham Factions to Make a Showing in Alabama. Washington. September 20.—(Special.)— A report, which has been current here for several days, and which cannot be verified, though it meets with consider able credence in Alabama republican po litical circles, is to the effect that Presi dent Roosevelt through his Alabama agents, is contemplating a return to the old Vaughan faction, so powerful during the days of the McKinley-Hanna regime. Following his succession to the presi dency. Mr. Roosevelt turned down the Vaughan faction, then the dominant fac tor in Alabama republicanism. Vaughan was removed from the district attorney ship on charges of an indefinite drag net nature pertaining to his official record, though it was well understood that the removal was purely political, Vaughan being outspoken for the nomination of Senator Hanna for the presidency. Shortly following this, Collector of In ternal Revenue Bingham, the head of the anti-Vaughan faction, was also re moved, the charge in this instance being his activity in excluding negroes from participating In republican conventions. The two ex-olTIce holders represented the heads of the two republican factions I and sine* that time they have been al lied for the common purpose of making warfare upon President Roosevelt. Three Referee* Selected. | I'pon the removal ’''•Vaughan and Bing ham. who have since had no share-in ‘hfc distribution of patronage, and who have been discredited at every turn by the rci tionnl administration, the President sft, leeted three referees—J. O. Thompson. who was made collector of internal reve nue lo succeed Bingham, fm mer Con gressman Aldrich and Charles If. Scott These referees have dictated all appoint ments in the state and have been recog nized as the party leaders In Alabama although selected entirely Independent of the party organization and against Its will. Head in Name Only. The consequence Is that the Roosevelt referees have found themselves at the hend of the party In name only, and the union of the Vaughan and Bingham fac tions Insures beyond a doubt the over whelming defeat of the referees at the very first test of strength. The elimina tion of the hegrn has made the distribu tion of patronage an element of weakness rather than strength with the result that the referees have all the offices hut none of the votes. On last Friday the referees were guests of President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. The report Is that the Interview was for the purpose of off-sotting anti-Roosevelt I sentiment In Alabama and trying lo de vise means to keep the referees, or In other words. President Roosevelt, from i being repudiated at the polls, it Is Hald that the referees fully realize that a com ! bination with either Vaughan or Bingham will be absolutely necessary If any show ing at all is to 1)0 made at the next test of strength. The story, therefore, Is that overtures are being made. QUARANTINE STILL MAINTAINED | Consul Alonzo B. Garrett Says Casea at Sanchez Arc Not Yellow Fever. Laredo, Tex..
