Abolishing Savannah’s Fire and
Polio* Commissions.
Atlanta, Nov. B.—Representative
Cole’s football bill, preventing games
of football where admission fees are
charged, oame up in the house today
with a favorable report from the gen

amendment striking out “games of'
like obaraoier.”
This was adopted and the bill was
passed by vote of 91 to 3.
The almost unanimous vote by
which the house passed the anti-foot
ball bill is considered a sure indica
tion that it will become a law at this
session.
The bills to abolish the tiro and
police commissions aud the hoard of
tax receivers and assessors of Savan
nah passed the lower house
imously. These bills were taken up
from last year’s calender.
In the senate the temperance issue
was revived by a vote rescinding
Friday’s action, killing the Turner
bill, so as to allow the author to with
draw same.
This means that the prohibitionists
have not given up the fight, but that
it will be pressed in the house.
Senator Woot'en introduced anew
registration law incorporating a mod
ified Australian ballot.
The fight over the convicts will be
on in earnest next week, the house to
day setting the bill as the special or
der for Tuesday, the 16tb, on motion
of Mr. Hall, chaiiman of the peniten
tiary committee.

voted to educational affairs, which in
volved a fight on the state university
to withdraw the land script fund of
$30,000 per year, and use it to establish
a separate agricultural college. The

The Consul General, About to Leave, Talks
About Cuba.

will sail for his post of duty Wednes

“It was of course gratifying to me,”
said General Lee, "to have the presi
dent tell me that my course as consul
general met with his approval. lie
told me that he had received letters
from representative men of all sec
tions that express their satisfaction at
my retention in office. Of course I
cannot say what my instructions are,
exoept that lam to look out for the
rights of American citizens. As to
President McKinley’s wishes, all I can
say is that he desires peace.
When asked as to the effect of Gen
eral Blanco’s appointment to succeed
General Weyier, General Lee said :
"Of course, when a commander is
replaced by another in the field it fol
lows that this new commander is to
use anew policy. Anew general
will understand that, even though he
received no speoial instructions what
ever. What General Blanco’s policy
will he, however, I cannot say.”
MUCH EXCITEMENT. •
licrtasing Lack of Confidence in Spain’s
Ability.
Havana, Nov. B.—Much excitement
exists in political circles, due to the

not be able to suppress the insurrec
tion by force of arms.
The feeling of uncsrtaiDty has made
a deep depression of business. It has
also increased the desire among a part
of the population for the annexation
of Cuba to the United States.

Very Encouraging News Yesterday
From the New Orleans
Cases.
BOARD OF EEALTH NAMES LIMIT.
Thinks All Will Bo Over By tbs First of
Next Week—Memphis is
Glean.
New Orleans, Nov. B.—There is no
doubt but that the backbone of the
fever is broken. Another cold spell
will kill all further infection. Yester
day’s record showed only 13 new cases
and, judging from the looks of things,
today’s record will be smaller.
It was 10:30 o’clock before anew
case was entered on the board of
health books. Two cases came in at
one time and, strange to say, from
extreme ends of the city. The two
deaths which occurred last night were
reported at the same time, making the
record two new cases and two deaths,
the smallest for the hours since Sep
tember 24.
While the board of health officials do
not officially state that the end is in
sight, nevertheless they feel safe and
unofficially say that it would not
surprise them if not a few cases was
reported after the end of the week,
NO MORE FEVER.
Memphis, Nov. B.—The board of
health this morning reports no new
cases and no deaths from feyer.
Business has almost resumed its nor
mal condition aDd the fever scare is a

A TRAIL OF BLOOD.
Dr. Burford Finds Signs of an Accident n His
Door-Knob and in His Yard.
When Dr. Hugh Burford came out
of his residence Sunday morning to
make a number of calls, he noticed the
signs of a bloody visitor visible on the
door-knob and along the walk that
leads to his front-gate. There was
blood on the knob, and a trail of it,
leading out of the gate, and down the
payement.
Dr. Burford followed the trail to the
corner of George and Richmond
streets, where it stopped abruptly.
There was a copious supply of it, as
though the sufferer, whoever it was,
had been bleeding profusely.
It was impossible to learn anything
further about the matter. The blood
stains were probably left by someone
hurt in a brawl of some kind, and
being unable to awake the doctor, the
injured man probably went to find
some other physician.
The Gala Week.
The Cumberland route advertises a
round trip rate of $1.50 to Jacksonville
on next Wednesday, on account of the
gala week festivities. Wednesday will
be the great day of the week, and the
L. A. W. bicycle meet will occur on
that day. See schedule in this issue.
BIG SHIP COMING.
i Mallory Lin# Sends the Comal to Catoh Up
with Its Freights.
The Mallory liner Comal, one of the
largest and fastest of the ships of the
line, will arrive this morning to load
a cargo for New York. The Colorado
arrived yeetorday afternoon.
Various causes have conspired to
make the Mallory line a little behind
in handling its large freights through
this port. The strike, the stress of
weather, and the acoldent to ths Rio
Grande lasV week oaused delay, and
there was considerable talk among the
local merchants of having their freight
sent through Savannah, unless the
Mallory people took prompt steps to
overoome the delay.
The coming of the Comal, which has
been taken off the Galveston line tem
porarily to make an extra trip to
Brunswick, will solve the difficulty,
and the merobants will have no fur
ther oause of complaint. The delay
was due to providential causes, but
the line has been prompt to make up
for lost time.
The Comal will ba in command of
Captain Evans, formerly of the State
of Texas. She is a large ship, 2,251
net tonnage, is 320 feet long and 42
feet beam. She will be the largest
coastwise steamship ever in this port.
The accident to the Rio Grande hap
pened when the steamer was 200 miltf
out from New York. Her shaft was
cracked and she had to sail back to her
starting point. The Colorado, which
arrived yesterday afternoon, is on her
regular trip. The State of Texas
sailed Sunday for New York.
The Mallory line deserves credit for
its promptness in meeting the require
ments of Brunswick shippers and
merchants.
