QUARANTINE IS ON I BILL AGAIN BUTTING IN. Fever in New Orler ns Causes Health Boards to Act. OFFICIALS ARE CAUTIOUS Belief is That Disease Can Be Con fined to Italian Quarter of City. Detention Camps Are Estab lished at VarTcus Points. A New Orleans dispatch says: Tho official autopsy on a patient, an Ital ian, who died of wh'at has been called suspicious fever, has disclosed that tho diseare was yellow fever. President Souchon or the state board of health has notified Governor Blanchard and the health officers of Mississippi, Tex as and Alabama. Arrangements have been made for a detention hospital to treat the remaining cases. Applica tion of the s-ame methods which were pursued at Havana is to be made, and the authorities are hopefull that the disease ran be stamped out. Presi dent Souchon said: "No cases of the fever aie known to exist outs'de of this area, save two or three which are directly trace able to it and the infected area, a few squares in extent, is under vig orous d'sinfection. "It is expec ed that the measures adopted and operated will be sueeess- -In eradicating the infect on, the nature of which is suspected to be yellow fever, though the irtopsic find ings in one case only determined this as a conclusion." The quarantine situaMon affecting New Orleans is not serious in that H. applies on y to persons and baggage, and th<s will be relieved by the ’ru- mediate establishment of detention ramps on the lines of all the railroads, where travelers who desire to go to the quarantine territory may remain five days and secure a certificate of non-infection from the marine hospital service. Surgeon J. H. White of the United Sttves marine hospital serv ice Sunday arranged for the estab lishment of camps at the following points: Slidell, on the Queen and Crescent; Avondale, on the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific; Ken ner, on the Mississippi Valley and Illinois Central, and Waveland, on the Louisville and Nashville. Alabama quarantined on the basis of opinions expressed by her health officer. Mississippi and Texas quar antined on the basis of Infornfiatlon -!7*fr*e>Ttphed theT?,. The state health and city boards of health of Florida, Saturday, order ed a quarantine against New Orleans. Freight will be permitted to pass af ter fumigation, but Inspectors are sta tioned at Floroa'on with instructions to allow no persons from New Orleans to pass. Sunday the city of Montgomery, Ala., through Acting Mayor C. P. Mc Intyre, issued an official proclamation of quarantine against, the city of New Orleans. The board of health of Selma, Ala, Sunday afternoon sent back to New Orleans a thirteen-year-old girl of that city, who arrived Saturday to visit relatives. The girl’s parents reside in the Italian settlement of New Or leans, where the yellow fever is said to have been d scovered. Havana Quarantines. A Havana dispatch says: On ac count of the ex stence of yellow fever at New Orleans, ouarantine has been declared against tha f port. Mexico Won’t Quarantine. The health authorities of Mexico City say there will he no quarantine against New’ Orleans. The sanitary inspection cf arriving passengers from inferted ports is strict and suspee’ed cases are Isolated. Merchandise from ports where yellow fever exists is not de’ained. The theory on which the Mexican sanitary authorities deal wMth yellow fever is that it is only com- munica ed by a species of mosquitoes, thus the unreasonableness of quaran tine precautions. Washington is Aiding. The officials of the public health and marine hospital service at Whsh- ington are working in harmony with those in Louisiana In the effort to prevent anv spread of the fever. Dr. A. H. Glennin, acting surgeon gen eral in the absence of Dr. Wyman, who Is now in Honolulu, has dis patched Surgeons G. M. Gulteras from Cairo, 111., T. H. Richard from Savan nah and T. H. White from Mobile to proceed to New Orleans and assist the marine hospital officials stationed [ there. A thorough outgoing passenger med ical train inspection service will bo organized so as to prevent the depart ure of any persons who have been ex- posed in any way to the disease. German Emperor and Czar Nicholaa In Conference—Meeting Comes as a " Sensation—Much Speculation. A special from St. Petersburg says: On the eve of the peace conference and with a suddenness already discon certing diplomatic and court circles, the emperor left Peterhof Sunday on board the imperial yacht Polar Star for a conference with Emperor Wil liam, who is cruising on the Hohen- zollern in Finnish waters. The czar is accompanied by h!s brother, Grand Duke Michael Alexan drovich, and a considerable suite, in cluding Count Benckendorff, marshal of the court; Count Heyden, chief af the imperial chancellory; Admiral Bir- ioff, minister of marine; Captain Von Essen, who commanded the battleship Sevastopol during the siege of Port Arthur; Captain Chagin, who com manded the Almaz, the only cruiser Admiral Rojestvensky’s fleet to reach Vladivtsok, after the battle of the sea of Japan; Captain Hin’ze, naval at tache of the German embassy and also a party of courtiers and the em peror s escort of sailors and marines with a guard commanded by Admiral Nuloff. It is noticeable that there is no rep resentative of the Russian; foreigfi office among the emperor’s entourage nor is the German ambassador on board the Polar Star. This gives col or to a report that the meeting was arranged between the tw r o emperors directly without recourse to the usual diplomatic channels, Emperor William suggesting the rendezvous by tele graph from Hernoehand, Sweden. The idea, the report says, met with the czar’s favor, but the final arrange ments were only completed Sunday and some members of the imperial family were hastily commanded to accompany his majesty. Many diplomats were taken com pletely by surprise by the news. The action of Emperor William in seeking a conference at this mo ment is generally interpreted as au assurance of his moral support of Russia in the coming pour parlers at Washington and Portsmouth and to show that German participation in the recent Japanese loan was not a mark of the alienation of German sympathies from Russia. Emperor William, whose keen in'erest in the lessons of the Russo-Jap w'ar is well known, has a’so taken advantage of the occasion to discuss the details with eyewitnesses and the presence of the naval officers who distinguish ed themselves in the far east is due to his special request. A special d'spatch UYouT PaPlS iSaytTr F-mperor 'Nicholas’ erflise in the Gulf of Finland to meet Emperor Wil liam is the subject of much comment in the press. Certain newspapers ex press the fear that the German em peror will influence the carrying out of the peace program, while others are of the opinion that Emperor Wil liam will seek to estrange Russia from France. The London newspapers of Sunday morning noted with inquietude the sudden resolve of Emperor Nicholas to visit Emperor William, and all kinds of speculation are indulged in as to the possible motives for, and the results of such a momentous in terview a* a time when so many dif ficult problems are facing European diplomacy. The Moroccan and Scan dinavlan ques ions are regarded as possible subjects for discussion, and it is also supposed that the reaction ary party in Russia may have suc ceeded in persuading the emperor of the impolicy of permitting M. Wife to conclude peace on a basis accepta ble to France and Great Britain. All the correspondents agree that the interview wus of Emneror Wil liam’s seeking, and the result is await ed w ! th the greatest anxiety. No new’s of Emperor Willafni’s whereabouts has reached London since he left Gafie, Sweden, and was cruisine northward. There is no har bor at Borgo, and the imperial yachts must he in the open sea. Telegrams from Berlin indicate that the meeting hetween the emperors is as great a surprise there as else- where. ROOT TAKES OFF CIAL OATrr. STRIKERS LOSE OUT Great Contest at Chicago Finally Comes to an End. TEAMSTERS SURRENDER Men Will Seek Old Places Without Agreement of Any Kind—Strike Lasted Nine Months and Cost Thirty Lives. The end of the teamsters’ strike that be so greatly disturbed conditions in Chicago for the last three months Is at hand. The strikers have made a complete surrender and will seek their old positions without an agreement of any kind with the employers. The first break in the ranks of the strikers came Thursday afternoon when the lumber teamsters voted to return to w’ork regardless of what ac tion might be taken by any other union. Thursday the department store drivers and the railway express driv ers voted to call off the strike and seek their old positions in the morn ing. It is expected that about 60 per cent of the department store drivers will be reinstated, and the express drivers declared that they believed that about one hundred of their num ber would be taken back by the ex press companies. The express compa nies have declared all through the strike, however, that not one of the men, who struck would ever be rein stated. Tho tru?k drivers and one or two smaller unions will vote on the ques tion of calling off the strike, but there is no doubt that they will decide to seek their old places again. The offi cials of the teamsters’ union declare that they expect such action to be taken. The only concession that the men have gained by going back to work is in the case of the lumber drivers— the right to wear the union button. In the case of all other unions, the men by seeking their old places tacit ly agree to the terms of the employ ers, which were that only such men w’ould be taken back as were needed after the non-union men had been provided for, and that the question of wearing the union button should be left to the decision of the Individual employer. The strike has been one of the mosrf annoying, bitterly fought and expen —a. McDonalds implicated? Kinsmen of Sheriff Passmore Alleged to Have Taken a Hand m Murder of the Carter Children. It was with a rush aniT'remarkable energy the Rawlings’ murder trial moved at Valdosta, Ga., Wednesday, notwithstanding the intense stifling heat. The negro Moore was brought back to the witness cha'lr when tbs court convened. He could not begin where he left off Tuesday, but had to reci e the same story over again. Moore told several conflicting sto ries about the killing, and admitted that he had told several lies in order to save himself. He was positive, however, that Milton, Jesse and Leon ard Rawlings w’ere at the Carter home, and that Milton and Jesse did the shooting. He said that he went ’o the Carter home to help do the kill ing on the agreement that he be paid ? ! 00; but, when he got there, his nerve failed him, and he could do nothing. He also made the startling statement that the Rawlings boys bad told him Carter had SI,500 in the house, which they could get if he would go in and kill the rest of the family. The sensational feature of the da> was the pronounced determination of the defendants' attorneys To trans- jdant the crimes of June 13 from the RawTngs family to the McDon- al’s, kinsmen of Sheriff Passamore of Lowndes county. It was shown conclusively by the testimony or Mrs. Carter, mother of the dead children, and by Miss Dora Car er, the eldest daughter, that Tim McDonald, brother-in-law’ of the sher- I’ r , and Jim 1VP Dorald, a bgy of 15 years, were in the Carter yard the night of the killing, and that one of them was armed. It was establish ed that there had been a long-time fe-d between *he Carters and the Mc- roualcs, but when the younger Mc Donald was put on the stand he de nied emphatically that he had been near the Carter home on the night of the tragedy. Miss Carier was probably the star witness of tho day. She swore point ed!;, and positively that she looked through a hole in the hearth and en countered Milton Rawlings’ face just on the outside of the chimney, trying to look In. She was positive in rec- ogni ion of him; she had known him for years, and could not be mistaken. It wms Miss Carter, too, who was ab solutely sure that she saw the Mc- Donakls that night in the yard, and ^bhat one of them had a gun.

It originated last winter over the demand of the Gar ment Workers’ Association fhat the firm of Montgomery Ward & Co. re frain from sending out any work to non-union men, although there wa# in the contract between Ward & Co. and the un'ons no clause prohibiting such action. The garment workers employed by Ward & Co. went on strike, and their places were filled by non-union men. Four months after the strike of the garment workers the teamsters’ union called on Ward & Co. to arbitrate the strike. The re fusal of Ward & Co. was followed by a strike of all the teamsters in their employ, and the strike rapidly spread to such other business houses as attempted to make deliveries to Ward & Co. About thirty lives have been lost during the strike, and there have been hundreds of cases of assault, in many of which the victims were seriously injured.

A Washington dispatch says: Gen eral Jesse M.

Thirty-nine members of the crew of the United States gunboat Ben- attendance w»ll be large. The meet- nington were killed and SO sailors ines cloEe at Inman - on August 1J. were injured, 24 seriously, at 10 o’clock Friday morning, by a boiler explosion that disabled the vessel in San Diego, Cal., harbor. Fifteen sad- ors are missing. There were more than 250 men aboard the warship when the accident occurred, and many men were hurled or forced to jump into the sea by the terrific explosion , , . , which lifted part of the deck and ! u , n ' ier \, lar ^ t . roe ^"" ls a , 5 ‘ ,vare compelled the beaching of the ship. slo, ' m ' Mr ' Horto " leav ‘ s a ,ainll> ' The Bennington, at the time of the accident, was lying in the stream just off the commercial wharf at the foot of H street. The warship had receiv ed orders from the navy department at Washington to sail for Port Hart ford, where she was to meet the mon itor, Wyoming, and convey the vessel to Mare Island navy yard. Steam was up and everything was in readiness for ^sailing, when suddenly and with out i»h^ warning whatever, the star board forward boiler exploded with a deafening roar. The explosion was terrific, people standing on the shore saw a huge cloud of white steam rise above the Bennington. A number of boats were in the vi cinity at the time, and these hurried to the rescue, lending valuable aid In picking up the wounded sailors and transferring them to the shore. At the time of the accident, Com mander Lucien Young and Surgeon F. E. Peck were on shore. The two offi cers, as soon as they learned of tho disaster, hurried to the water front, where Commander Young immediately took charge. On board the Bennington were pre sent efl terrible scenes. The force r»f the explosion had torn a great hole in the starboard side of the ship, and the vessel was already commencing to list. A section of the upper decks was carried away from stem to stern. Blood ax/i wreckage was distributed over thej ship, the after cabin and th^-vlcinity^Qf the ship adjacent to the Exploded boftfcr resembling, a A doz^^^^^H^n men were blown overboa^^^^^ne force of the ter- rifle exij^Ron. Captain Wentworth, who was looking at the Benirington when the disaster occurred, says he saw human bodies hurled over a hun dred feet upward. ’ The bodies of many of the men tak en from the wrecked interior of tho ship were mutilated almost beyond recognition. For a long time the hot steam pre vented access to the space between decks, where most of the dead bodies lay, and it was not until late in tho afternoon that the last w’ere removed. Several bodies were so tightly wedged in by a bulkhead, that the woodwork had to he hewn away to free them. Most of the bodies yet unidentified have been mangled almost beyond hope of recognition. The boiler which exploded, it is said, was regarded as unsafe. Com mander Young stated that during a recent return from Honolulu the steam pressure was kept reduced in that particular one. When" the explosion occurred the engineer was inspecting the boilers as a preliminary to the vessel’s leav ing port and he was not seriously in jured. The following is the list of dead: J. Newcombe, B. A. Hughes, A. Ben- sol, A. Kamerer, W. W. Wright, C. Hoggboorn, E. Dresch, W. Parish, M. G. Quinn, G. Brownlee, J. I,. Burns, W. Chefrey, E. G. Geiss, C.
