SITUATION IN SELMA Mo Nev Cases of Fever Developed There Yesterday. IT IS’ INCREASING IN MONTGOMERY City Can Care For Sick With out Outside Aid. ATLANTA HAS .NO NEW CASES 'The Weather In New Orleans is of a Char- acter to Encourage the Speed of Fever—News From Many Points. New Orleans, Oct. 26. —Fifty-seven new cases of yellow fever and seven deaths were reported to the board of health tonight. The weather continues to be mean and of a character to encourage the spread of the fever. Major Hamilton, prospective chief of police, who has been very ill, is re ported on the mend. He had yellow fever, practically recovered and then took a relapse. The quarantine system of the board of health is gradually being relieved. It is found not to be effective; violations of it occur all over town and the likeli hood is that the board will cut off ex penses by relieving the guard. SELMA IS ALRIGHT. No New Cases Have Developed There. Only One Person Sick. Selma, Oct. 29,—N0 new cases of fever have developed here, and it is now believed that the city will have no more cases. Selma is almost deserted and business is dead. There is only one person under treatment here for yellow fever. IN ALABAMA. Montgomery Has Ten Cases and One Death. Mobile Three Cases. Montgomery, Oct. 26.—The situation does not improve here. There were ten new cases and one death reported today. Mobile reports three new cases and no deaths. SANARELLI ON HIS SERUM. Distinguished Ductor Talks of the Yellow Fever Cure Discovery. New York, Oct. 26.—A dispatch to The Herald from Buenos Ayres says: Dr. Sanarelli, who has been in Uruguay for many months studying the yellow fever problem, and who recently an nounced the discovery of a curative antitoxine for the fever, has been inter viewed as to his work by The Herald correspondent iu Montevideo. In the first place, Dr. Saranelli states that American physicians are com pletely mistaken as to his discovery’s uses. It is not a serum to be used for inoculation to prevent yellow fever, but a serum which he believes will cure it. Dr. Sanarelli said that he had inocu lated many dogs, horses and other ani mals with a serum which was intended to give them a mild form of fever and immune them. This method he found to be slow, difficult and varying in its .results, according to the class of animal -on which the experiments were made. In order to immunize a horse he found inoculation would have to be made at intervals covering 14 months. Then Sanarelli turned his attention <to experiments which resulted in the ■discovery of a curative serum. He first inoculated certain animals in order to give them yellow fever, then tried his -curative serum with most satisfactory results. Several of the animals were almost dead with the genuine yellow fever when the curative serum was in jected. In each case they recovered. He believes that the same results would follow the same treatment of a person who suffered from yellow fever, although as yet he has been unable to make a practical test on a man. He will soon leave Montevideo for Rio Ja neiro, where he will continue his ex ' periments. NO OUTSIDE AID NEEDED. UMstneeting at MnntKom.ry Raises Larcr Sum In a Faw Mlnut.s. Montgomery, Ala., Oct 26.—A pub lic meeting was held in the council THE ROHE TRIBUNE. HALL BILL OUSTED Practically, Nothing But 5 year Lease Left. Governor Atkinson’s Cherished Plans For Reforms Killed By Committee. Atlanta, Oct. 26. —The general joint penitentiary committee of the house and senate knocked the sub-committee’s bill to pieces today, leaving practically noth-, ing of it but a five-year lease of convicts under state control. The central penitentiary idea, of which the farm for boys, women and infirm convicts was to be the nucleus, was struck out, and a proposition to place these second class felons on the state’s land near Milledgeville, meets with so much opposition on account of objec tionable proximity to the lunatic asylum, that it will almost certainly be voted down. This leaves the legislature in direct conflict with the governor. It has reject ed almost without discussion the central idea of the plan proposed by the princi pal keeper and endorsed by the governor, and has left the naked lease, which the governor is publicly pledged to veto. The plan for a farm and also for the purchase of an island were killed. Chamber, with 100 representative citi •ens present. Mr. Tompkius was chair man and Philip Storn, secretary. The chairman stated that while no destitution or distress had as yet been reported, it might be done at any time and it was best to be ready for any emergency.

One thousand dollars was raised in a few minutes, and as much more prom ised as will be necessary.

Experienced and professional nurses have been tele graphed for at Mobile and other places. Nurses now are the main need. CINCINNATI HAS ONE CASE. Mai* Takes Yellow Fever, but /there Is No Appreliensiou, Cincinnati, Oct. 26.—The case of yellow fever developed in this city is August Wilkie, a horse trader of Montgomery, Ala., whose wife has been here about a month. Mr. Wilkie arrived Monday and was almost immediately placed under the care of Dr. L. H. Medaris, who, knowing whence he had come, immediately re ported the case to the health officer, and after examination it was decided to be a case of yellow fever in mild form. The patient was removed to the Branch hospital, where he is reported in a very favorable condition, being able to sit up. The case causes no appre hension, as the conditions for the spread of yellow fever do not exist here, and if they did, the Branch hospital affords ample isolation. Four New Cases In Memphis; Memphis, Oct. 26. —At noon the board of health reported four new cases of yellow fever, as follows: Mrs. Seig wert, 57 Commerce street; Albert Lago rio, 816 Main street; Ida Lagorio, 816 Main street, and E.

ROME, GA., WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 27, 1897. NEW YORK’S BEDLAM Latest Gossip on the Mixed Situation. IN ONLY FIVE DAYS Loy Followers Claim 190,000 and Re publicans 210,000 Votes. WAGERS STILL FAVOR VAN WYCK Bishop Potter Does Not Prac tice What He Preaches. GEORGE IS RUNNING INDEPENDENT His Managers Virtually Admit This—As- saults Made on Low By the Party Papers Who Fear Him. New York, Oct. 26.—With only five days remaining iu which to complete the work of the municipal campaign the situation in Greater New York con tinues to afford large opportunities for conjecture. So far as the betting is in dicative of results, Tammany appears to have the best of it, although there is a lot of Republican money up at odds that would prove alluring to those who have cash to back up their predictions that Van Wyck will be chosen the first mayor of the great municipality. The odds on Van Wyck against the field are quoted at betting headquarters as 8 to I, but at the rooms of the Republican campaign committee it is said those who desire to bet against General Tracy can be accompanied with even mouey to any extent they desire. That the strength of the Citizens’ union ticket is not held in contempt, is shown in the space which is given in the journals advocating one or the other of the regular political parties. Columns, and even pages, are devoted to assaults upon Mr. Low’s record as a public offi cial, and as the head of Columbia uni versity. While the Jeffersonian Democracy’s strength, within certain limitations, is conceded on all sides, it is only among the most enthusiastic adherents of Henry George that the claim is made that he will be elected. The real im portance of his candidacy lies in the source from which his votes will be drawn. The Georgeite campaign man agers have virtually abaudoued the claim to regularity in the following sen tences: “Tammany Hall claims to be the reg ular Democratic organization of this city and county. We dispute that claim, Although they have possession of the title, which is nine points of the law. they have uot as yet received one word of approval from Senator Jones or Wil liam J. Bryan, who are the leaders of the national Democratic party today, and we don’t think they will get it.” Whoever shall be the victor in the mayoralty contest will win by a plural ity vote only. The total vote may be 525,000. The secretary of the Citizens’ union asserts that Low will win with 190,000, Van Wyck receiving 135,000 and Tracy aud George 100,000 each. The Republican claim is 210,000 for Tracy, 145,000 for Van Wyck, 90,000 for George and 60,000 for Low. In a recent article Bishop Henry C. Potter pointed out the imperative ne cessity of every citizen registering. He deprecated in the same article the laxity of citizens in this respect, and moralized to a great extent ou the subject. Au examination of the list showed that Bishop Potter failed to register this year. He declined to say anything about his failure to enroll as a voter. • —~y Honrka Cockran In the Battle. New York, Oct. 26.—Rev. Thomas J. Ducey, pastor of St Leo’s Catholic church, has notified Henry George headquarters that he has engaged Cooper Union for a public meeting on Thursday evening at which “political bossism” will be denounced and the election of Henry George as mayor fav ored.

Berlin, Oct 26.—The Tageblatt ex plains that the refusal of the czar to receive the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Badeu, at Darmatadt, on Saturday last, was due to the sarcastic comments made by the Grand Duke of Baden upon the conversion of the czar ina, formerly Princess Alix of Hesse, sister of the Grand Duke of Hesse, to the Greek church, previous to hqr mar riage to the czar, iu November, 1894 COOPER IS PARDONED Governor Granted Him Par don Yesterday.

LUETGERT’S WIFE LIVING? Chicago Lawyer * I alma to Have New. That Will free Hl. Client. Chicago, Oct. 26.—“ Within the past 24 hours we have received information that may make another trial of Luet gert unnecessary, ” said Attorney Al bert Phaleu. “I will not reveal the name of my informant nor the location of the city in which he lives at present, but it is within 200 miles of Chicago aud the man is an ex-official of the place. He is positive that he has seen Mrs. Luetgert within a few days. The information, together with his identifi cation, is startling in its directness. But we Iqive been startled so many times by similar reports, only to be eventually disappointed, that 1 will not believe the repoi't until I see the woman he says is Mrs. Luetgert. We are in vestigating the story of this inform ant. ” xi, is believed that the information came from Davenport, la., 185 miles west of Chicago. Soon after Mrs. Luetgert’s disappearance report reached Chicago that she was seen in Davenport and also in Rock Mind, Illa, across the river, but investigation proved the re port untrue. IT WIL,L BE HARRIS. Judge Sampson Harris to Succeed Judge Fort As Bailroad Commissioner. Atlanta, Oct. 26.—Judge Sampson W. Harris will succeed Judge Allen Fort as railroad commissioner. The race is between Judge Harris and Hon Hal T. Lewis, and indications point conclusively to the appointment of the former. The governor has not yet made known his decision in the matter, but when it comes it will be Judge Harris. The appointment of Judge Harris is confidenlty looked for by those] who are closest to the governor, and argued by these it seems most logical. Governor Atkinson was seen today. He was not willing to say to whom the appointment would go. “It is a very knotty question,” said the governor, “and I want to sleep over it.” The governor has slept over it. He has thought of it long and deeply. He says he has not yet reached a conclusion but the prophets have anticipated him and are already hailing Judge Harris as the winner. Neither Judge Harris nor Mr. Lewis are candidates in the sense of making personal efforts to secure the place, but the friends of both have been exceeding ly active in their behalf and endorse ments have come in for both of them from every section of the state.

While the government of Spain will not give out the text of its reply to the United States ou the subject of Cuba, it was officially announced that the reply of the Spanish minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gallon, is on the follow ing lines: It expresses regret at the fact that the insurruction in Cuba “re ceives support from frequent American filibustering expeditions” and that oth erwise the rebellion iu Cuba would pos sibly not exist. It is hoped by the Spanish government that by the grant ing of autonomy to Cuba and the with drawing of American support, the in surgents aud the insurrection will shortly be ended. It is also officially announced that the Spanish note is marked throughout by au energetic tone. According to re ports iu official circles here, the United States minister will confine himself to acknowledging the receipt of the Span ish reply, aud, after forwarding it to the government will request instruc tions from Washington before proceed ing any further in the matter. It is not eipected that the text of the answer of Spain will be published here before the senate has had an opportu nity of deliberating upon it, and there fore it is understood that the text of the document may uot be published in the United States until after the reas sembling of congress. But, before con gress reassembles (the first Monday in December, otherwise Dec. «,) it is ex pected by the Spanish officials here that the cdndition of affairs in Cuba, so far as the insurrection in that island is con cerned, will have considerably im proved. and that, therefore, the whole question will have assumed a brighter aspect. Finally it was announced from offi cial circles that the Spanish govern ment has determined to actively pursue a new policy towards Cuba, and to take more military action against the Cuban insurgents.
