LATE NEWS BY WIRE Two Deaths and Several New Cases of Fever Reported Today. NEW ORLEANS HAS 250 CASES NOW Forty Cases Discharged Cured During Past Twenty-Four Hours. PREJUDICE AGAINST FLAGS ee NEW ORLEANS, October 9.—The board of health at 1 o'clock today announced seventeen new cases and two deaths were reported up to that hour. Considerable opposition has been aroused against the proposition to have Governor Foster give $56,000 for the use of the board of health. It is held that with an abund- ance of money to pay to the guards, the excitement here will be kept up. A least forty cases have been discharged within the past twenty-four hours, reducing the number of cases under treatment to a lit- tle over 250. The board of health last night decided to modify quarantine regulations so as to permit families to get out of their homes when they have no yellow fever. The board also decided to quarantine Pass Christian, where a number of cases of the fever have been reported. There is much kicking against the putting up of the flags in front of the houses where infectien exists. The flags, it is asserted, have a tendency to frighten peo- ple and to exaggerate the situation here. Dr. Geddings, who was at Jacksonville for some time, hzs arrived here, and will, with other members of the marine nospital service, proceed with bacteriological inves- tiga ns. The marine hospital service has established a camp at Avondale to facili- tate thé movemert of laborers into the sugar distric The authorities here say that they have received assurances that a number of the parishes of Louisiana will modify their quarantine regulations, so that freight can be kept moving. Twelve Cases at Edwards. EDWARDS, Miss., October 9.—Twelve rew cases of yellow fever are reported to- day. Burt Walton died at 10 o’cleck last night. ‘The general situation this morning presents a more cheerful aspect. Nore of the pa- tients Is reported as dangerously sick. Fever on a Boston Steamer.

As she came up the bay she displayed her quarantine flag. and as scon as she came to anchor ff the station she was boarded by Port Physician Carscn, who made a thorough luspection. The Surgeon Gencral’s Bulletin.

A fine large grandstand will be erected shortly on the field cf Georgetown Univer- sity. Its occupants will be not only able to see the base ball games, but the field and track events. The stand will cost about $3,000, and will have a seating ca- pacity of between one and two thousand.

The first anniversary of the National Sporting Club of East Washington was celebrated last night at the club’s club house on Pennsylvania avenue. President F. A.

THE LATE SENATOR McPHERSON He Won a High Reputation in the Halls of Congress. Senator McPherson, who died in New Yerk last night, enjoyed a high reputation in Washington. In the Senate he was re- garded as one of the strong-brained men of influence whose support strength- ened any cause and whose oppesition was te be dreaded. He was a well-read and studious man, a good lawyer, with a phil- osophical tendency of mind and a forceful speaker. His appearance was striking. Tall, slen- der, with deep-seated and very brilliant eyes, high forehead, promirent nose and strongly marked features generally, he had a distinguished bearing which attracted at- tention to him both in the Senate and on the street. In manner he was extremely amiable and courteous, slow to display either excitement or irritation. At the outset of the political controversy ever the money question he tcok a strong pesition against the unlimited use of sil- ver and was regarded as one of the able financiers in the Senate. At the time cf the last presidential election he had re- tired from the Senate. Though still adher- ing to his beli-f in geld, he supported Mr. Bryan as the regular democratic candidate. ——_—___—-+--+________ ROOMED WITH DORSEY FOULTZ. Statement Made Today by Prisoner in Police Court. The much-wanted Dorsey Foultz figured Indirectly but very prominently today in a Police Court proceeding. Charles Gar- rett, colored, was arraigned as a vagrant, and the story 1s best told by repeating the testimony of Policeman Henderson, who was the complaining witness. “I found this man asleep in a "bus that was standing on a vacant lot, fronting Brightwooi avenue,” said the policeman. “When I questioned him in an effort to find out who he was and where he came from, he said that he spent the preceding night in a shack near Brightwood, and added that in the hut was a short, dark man armed with two big pistols. I told him that the description answered that of Dorsey Foultz and Barrett replied: “That's what he said his name was.’ I took the prisoner to Brightwood, but could find no trace of Dorsey.” Garrett stated to Judge Kimball that he came to this city from Richmond a week ago, and has been working for a local pav- ing company. The court was not fully satisfied with the expianation, and in con- sequence Garrett went to the workhouse to remain fifteen days > Novel Fire Alarm Boxes. Thirteen new fire alarm boxes were put in service yesterday, and twenty more will be put up during the next few days.

Dene to Make a Breach With the @’Bien Democracy, Who First Nominated George. The most extraordinary turn of affairs in the Greater New York muddle yet re- ecrded is the indorsement of the Citizens’ Union county ticket by the Henry George People, announced last night. This is re- garded as the most incongruous of all com- binations. The George ticket was put in the field by “Chicago platform democrats” as a ‘O- test against Tammany’s alleged lack of loyalty to democracy. They would not stand by the Tammany ticket because Tammany failed to indorse the Chi- cago platform, though the candidates The George people stood cut for a “tight on principle.” This makes the announce- ment of a deal between them and the Citi- zens’ Union, which is diametrically opposed to the “principles” George was to stand for, most extraordinary. One explanation made is that Mr. George was forced to do this in order to break away from O’Brien, the head of the O’Brien democracy, who fs accused of having a deal with Platt. O’Brien’s organization was the first to nominate George, and it is in- timated that the nomination was then made at the instance of Platt to injure Tammany. 2 Mr. George did uot accept a nomination until it was offered him at a mass con- vention, and it has been said that he was avoiding identification with O’Brien. The announcement is that the Citizens’ Union county ticket in New York county, the McLaughlin democratic county ticket in Kings county, the Mullen democratic ticket in Richmoad, and the Madden dem- ocratic county ticket in Queen’s are in- dorsed by the George campaign committee. ——+e-+______ MRS. LANGTRY WILL NOT WED. Prefers Her Horses Esterha: A specia: to the Philadelphia Press from London says: Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, is out in a statement, flatly contra- dicting the report that she is to be married to Prince Esterhazy. Her horses, It seems, are filling a larger place in her affections. All London were beginning to believe the rumor. The gossips had settled in their minds that her American divorce would not be a barrier in law to the union, and they had even figured that the titled suitor was content to ignore the fact that the Catholic Church, to which he belongs, does not recognize divorces. So it came to be expected that the wedding would occur shortly. te the Prince a ge MORE MODERATE IN TONE. English Papers Pleased at Attitude of New York Press.

Lyon, whom complainant al- leges is now living in the city of Nor- folk, Va. She states that for the past eight years the defendant has been ad- icted to the habitual use of intoxicating liquors; that in August, 1894, while living in the town of Charlotte, N.

NEW YORK, October 9.—The gravitation toward a lower level, which has charac- terized this week's dealings at the stock exchange, was especially pronounced in today’s short session. Prices were under pressure almost continuously, the lowest level being reached directly at the close of business. The market lacked support at almost every point, and the recognition of this fact was responsible for the determination on the part of the larger operators for the decline, to close the market weak gver Sunday for effect on out-of-town interests. Again, as on previous days of the week, the opposition to the decline was too feeble to gain more than a temporary foothold. Many stocks are in the hands of irre- sponsible and overcredulous operators, whose confidence in the immediate future of prices is out of all proportion to their bank accounts. The experience and the bulk of the money is, for the time being, in opposition to actual ownership at pres- ent prices. For this reason the net de- clines for the week vary from 2 to 8 per cent. Much information is in circulation relative to the improvement in general conditions, and much of it is extremely gratifying, but the fact -emains that there is nothing to tempt extensive buying. That this is the case is evidenced by the fact that business has fallen off and last summer's profits are seeking employment outside of the stock market. There is, perhaps, a preponderance of good in the outlook if ultimate results are the first consideration. Gold has begun to come in in quantities above the average, and there is every assurance that the in- flux will increase in proportions. Bank clearings are increasing, the week’s result in this particular being larger than the same week last year, and also for the 1892 period. The money market is alrost certain to continue on a comfortable basis, from the standpoint of the borrower, rates being held between 21-2 and 3 per cent on call Earnings are satisfactory, and may im- Prove. But all these facts were discount- ed long ago by shrewd financial interests, and those who appreciated the change somewhat tardily are now in possession of the shares marketed by those who first recognized the significance of last Novem- ber’s elections. Those who believe in lower prices con- sequently urge this latter fact as an ar- gument of first importance. Then there 1s the local disturbed political situation, in which are reflected many of the disquieting influences of the national contest. This factor of itself must be regarded as one for serious consideration. |: The Supreme Court, with an extensive corporation docket, is,already in session, and Congress isiagain on the verge of re- assembling. A leng session, novel remedial measures for alk sorts,of national ills and an appeal to patriotism by way of Cuba and Hawaii, will all contribute toward an unsettled speculative basis. Disregarding temporary interferences of this character, the market is not.one warranting a general marketing of long stock. Inderlying conditions of more ‘han cas- ual importance are working for good, but patience in buying seems destined to in- sure profits in selling. .. The banks have lost, $2,718,900 in lawful money during the week, all in legal tenders, The gains in specie have not been fully equal to offsetting the oss in currency to the interior. é The loans haye decreased $23,000 and the deposits have fallen off slightly. The net result reduces the surplus reserve to $13,485,500. This latter item is plenty large enough for all purposes in view of the for- eign exchange situation. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
