Advices of Monday from London state that the United States monetary commissioners have received no official information regarding the action taken by the British cabinet on Saturday last. Private ad\'ices, hoAveA’er, con- A'ince them that the cabinet hai dealt, the death blow to their mission. It is expected the commissioners Avill shortly be informed that her ma¬ jesty’s government regrets being un- able to accede to llieir proposals, but is Avilling to listen to any other plan they But may suggest. both parties to the conference know that no other practical scheme can be advanced. rii the eA'ent of the expected reply being received, the United Stpte s com- missioners will return to the United States. The commissioners beliei'e their failure means that no further effort in behalf of bimetallism Avill be made for many years to come. They attribute their failure to the opposition of the bankers and of The London Times. Until these forces Avere aroused all signs pointed to the co-operation of tho British government. TO CURE MILLIONAIRE KOUSS. The “Great Physician” of India Comes to American Shores.

He is Dr. Guelph Norman, of Bur- mah, aud he lias hoav had Mr. Kouss for a patient for over a Aveek. Dr. Norman’s proposal to restore the blind to sight Avas treated with disdain by the regular medical frater¬ nity, but if the patient himself is to be believed a wonder has already been worked. Mr. Rouss says he can see a little. He is yet skeptical, however, and Dr. Norman w ill haA-e to do much more before he establishes the reputa¬ tion here that he is said to enjoy in the Orient—that of the Great Physician.

Pullman, the palace car magnate, died at his residence in Chi¬ cago at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning. Mr. Pullman, who was in his 66th year, had not been enjoying his usual good health during the summer. The extreme heat of last iveek greatly ag- grai-ated his disease, * knoAvn to medi¬ cal science as angina pectoris, but no serious trouble was anticipated. Mr. Pullman was at his office iu the Pullman building daily and dined Mon¬ day with friends at his club. Later in the evening he remarked having a slight pain in the back. He retired at his usual early homr. At 4 o’clock mem- bers of the household were awakened by a disturbance in Mr. Pullman’s chamber and upon entering found him standing in the center of the room, dazed and apparently suffering excru¬ ciating pains in tlie region of the heart.

The popular reception to Miss Evan- gelina Cossio y Cisneros in New York Saturday night was an extraordinary demonstration. Fully 50,000 persons, probably one-third of them well dressed Avomen,crowded the upper half of Mad¬ ison Square park and filled Broadway and Fifth avenue and waited patiently for the congratulatory speeches to be finished and tho Cuban heroine to ap¬ pear. A stand had been erected south of the Worth monument, from which the speeches were delivered, and on which the Seventh regiment band was sta¬ tioned. Finally Mr. Decker, the rescuer, led his charge down the aisle between tho musicians to the front of the platform. Miss Cossio Cisnero’s appearance was the signal for a tremendous dem¬ onstration by the great crowd, Avhich stretched out for one hundred yards before her. The men yelled and Ai aved their hats, the Avomen Avaved their handkerchiefs and the band played a Cuban battle song. Later Miss Cis¬ neros was drix-en around the square and back to Delmonico’s. The reception there was continued. Among those present at the recep¬ tion in Delmonico’s were former Am¬ bassador Eustis and wife, Colonel Ethan Allen and Charles Dana Gibson. Nearly every prominent member of the Cuban colony was present. EDITOR DANA PASSES AWAY. Aciii«ve<l Greatness as Critic, Historian. Jouruslist and Politician. Charles A.

CASE ANNOUNCED IN BATON ROUGE Tabulated Statement of New Case* and Fatalities at Various Points For Monday. The board of health of Montgomery, Ala., announced tAvo cases of yellow feA T er in that city Monday. They are Patrick W. White, a young lawyer, whose life is now despaired of, and Thomas Graydon, a railroad engineer. As has beeu intimated in specials from that city for a week past, a dis¬ ease resembling yellow fever has pre¬ vailed in the first ward for more than a month. The physicians have treated it for malarial fever, believing it came from the miasma arising from the m r er, Avliieh has been unusually low. For some days, however, the public had been pretty well convinced it was yellow fever, and several thousand peo- pie left the city. Several thousand more will likely leave as quickly as the trains will car- ry them. To a layman, it appears that the board of health, backed by nine-tenths of the physicians, has sadly miscon ceived the whole situation. All of the physicians, except four or five diag- nosed the case to be something else than yellow fever. These four or five doctors, Bragg, Wood and Bibb, Jackson, and prob¬ ably Dr. Naftel, have advised their patients and friends for some days that the disease was yellow fever, but withlveld, on account of medical ethics, to take issue in a public utterance with the board. The board says in its bulletin an- nouncing tire two cases of fever:— “There are a few suspicious eases un- der observation.” The average citizen believes there are a score of yellow fever cases in the city. The physicians will not confess as much, however. The city council has adjourned the schools until after the disease has abated, and ordered the first ward, in which the disease appears to be con¬ fined, to be disinfected. The city is in almost perfect sanitary condition, and this fact, together with the indi¬ cations of frost at an early date, fur¬ nishes some consolation to the people. Following is a tabulated statement of the fever situation for Monday: CITIES. NEW CASES. DEATHS.

FEVER IS GAINING. More Case* In Montgomery and Record Broken at New Orleans. Three new cases of fever were an¬ nounced at Montgomery, Ala., Tues¬ day, and the stampede from the city is astonishing in its magnitude. Every available vehicle is constantly employed hauling people to the trains and to the country. Many, of course, cannot leave, and a few who could, if they wanted to, decline to go. There is little doubt but that the disease has prevailed in the city for a month or more during weather favor¬ able to its spreading. Probqbly as many as fifty people have been sick with the same sort of symptoms, and only one death, so far, can he even in¬ directly traced to the disease. Most of the other cases have recovered after a week’s illness. The local courts have adjourned for the month on account of the fever ex¬ citement. The sixth Aveek of the fever at Mobile began with five cases Tuesday, no deaths and eleven recoveries. There was neither hope nor encour¬ agement iu the fever situation at New Orleaus Tuesday. The deaths did not mu up to an unusual mark, but there were enough of new cases and fatnli- tie® to disappoint those who were in¬ clined to believe that the fever was on the wane. As early as 7 o’clock Tuesday morn- i n g there were forty-three cases, There have never heretofore been more than forty-nine cases. Cases are being reported from all sections °f the city. There has been in the city up to d ^ «te over nine hundred cases. Of these, more than a hundred hai*e died. The record is bad enough as it stands. But it is quite possible that cases are being hidden, and as a matter of fact if they Avere reported the death rate would be less than it is now. Tho hoard of health officially re- ported Tuesday: “Cases of yellow fever, 56; deaths, 4; total cases of yel- low fever to date, 921; total deaths from yellow fever to date, 104: total cases absolutely recovered, 463; total cases under treatment, 354.” 15 JURY’S HANDS. Fate of Yuetgert, Charged With Wife Murder, Hang* Iu Balance. A Chicago special says: The fate of Adolph L. Luetgert, accused of mur¬ dering his wife and dissolving her body in a vat filled with caustic pot¬ ash, Avas placed in the hands of the jury Monday afternoon. Judge Tnthill finished his charge to the jury at 4:45 p. m., and five min¬ utes later the jury filed out and were locked in the jury room. The twelve men spent the night Avithout reaching an agreement. Tues¬ day Avas passed with no result, and at nine o’clock Tuesday night the jury had gone to bed on cots, placed in the courtroom, and it was announced by Judge Tuthill that, even though by one chance in a million the jurors should Avake up on the morrow and agree upon a verdict there would be no announcement and the court room would, under no circumstances, be opened until 10 o’clock Wednesday morning. Jnst before retiring for the night the jury took another ballot, the vote « ta ”duig mne for convietion and three for acquittal.

TALKED CIVIL SERVICE. Cabinet Devotes Several Honrs In Dis¬ cussing the Subject. A Washington special Sajn: The cabinet Tuesday devoted considerable time to a discussion of the civil service and how to obtain the best results from the recent order jiromulgated by the president. A decision was reached that each department should prepare and adopt regulations to meet the order. While each department Avill formu- late its own regulations there was a general sentiment that it would be well to have ihem along the general lines of the regulations issued by the treasury department to carry out the president’s order. CUSTOM RECEIPTS HEAVY. The Treasury Department Announces the Largest Income For One Day. At the treasury department attention is called to the fact that Tuesday’s receipts from customs were $681,423, ’w hich is considerably in excess of any previous day Biuce the new tariff act went into effect.

Nearly all of Thursday and Friday in the now celebrated car robber cases at Dalton, Ga., was taken up in the trial of Captain T. J. Peeples, the agent of the Western and Atlantic railroad at Dalton. Notwithstanding that Captain Pee¬ ples was ably defended, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Peeples has beeu the biggest game so far that the prosecution has brought down. His conviction created terror among the accused, Avho have not yet been brought to trial. There Avas some doubt about getting twelve men with the courage to find him guilty. He has the reputation of a tighter. • The defense had the jurors polled, but every one answered that it Avas his verdict. Judge Fite did not pass sen¬ tence. There may be another case against Peeples. It is rumored that he may be tried for receiving stolen tobacco from Bohannon. The penalty in the case already decided may be either a fine or imprisonment in the chamgang or penitentiary. The recommenda- tion leaves it to the judge to say whether it shall be punished as a mis- demeanor or as a felony. Captain Peeples lias been agent of tlie Western and Atlantic railroad in Dalton for five years. Peeples Avas charged with buying a carpet from Walter Bohannon. The latter said that he sold it to Peeples and received the money for it. The defense attempted to impeach Bohan¬ non, but the jury believed him, and the citizens generally believed. Pee¬ ples was deserted by his tAvo sqns at the critical hour, and he had to rely for his defense wholly upon his own state¬ ment and the evidence of a negro em¬ ployee. The defendant said that his son DreAv, a member of the city coun¬ cil, had bought a carpet for him a year ago last summer in Chattanooga. The father did not produce any receipt or memorandum of any kind to show where they got the carpet that ruined him. “There Are Others.” Anderson Giddings, a small mer¬ chant of Tunnel Hill, pleaded guilty Friday to an indictment charging him with receiving stolen goods. Sen¬ tence was deferred in his case, too. The case against Mack Cannon was called, hut it Avas passed. Cannon’s trial will probably last tAvo days. This will be a sensational case. Bo- hannon says that Cannon often bought goods of him. I. here Avas one lot of clothing for which the-Southern rail- CM ^ noxvl b e > $1 ’. 20d ; Foliannon says that Cannon paid him $8o for the lot. Cannon is the Avealthiest merchant in Dalton, and has the largest clothing trade in north Georgia. Everything is done in his Avife’s name. The store is known as the Baltimore Clothing House. W. B. McCarson, who runs a large store in North Dalton, was arrested Friday for dealing w r ith Bohannon’s band of robbers. The grand jury has beeu inA r estiga- ting C. C. Bemis, the father-in-law of Drew Peeples, w ho skipped. There is an indictment against one Buckholtz, Avho has a restaurant. Many Ladies Present. More ladies Avere in court Friday than at any previous time in Whit- field’s history. The ladies are for convicting nearly every time. One of them asks that it be clearly stated that the members of Dalton’s 400 do not regard Bohannon as a hero. Lee Arwood, avIio pleaded guilty to buying a bicycle from Bohannon, with¬ drew’ his plea and went to trial while the Peeples jury was out. Bohannon stat¬ ed that he did not think Arwood knew the bicycle Avas stolen. Arwood said that he did not know it, aud on this testimony Judge Fite directed the jury to acquit tlie young man. So he was really tried and acquitted within the ninety minutes that the Peeples jury was out. This Avas the first one to get off, and he had pleaded guilty. NEW YORK’S REGISTRATION.

If the Southern railway retains its attitude in regard to the an¬ nouncement of lower rates made by the Seaboard Air-Line, there is to be no rate rar.
