BOARD Directors of. the Company Hear Annual Re- port From the Receivers, Statement Made That the Affairs of the Corporation Are in a Pros- perous Conditio: A meeting of the board of directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, preliminary to the annual meeting of the stocknolcers, which takes place Monday, was heid yesterday in Baltimore. The an- nual report of the operations of the com- pany, as prepared by Receivers Cowen and Murray, and submitted to the directors, was approved, and the same action will, it is anticipated, be taken at the annuat meeting. As a matter of fact, it is understood the board of directors, since the road went into the hands of receivers, has no voice in the management of the company’s affairs, but it is necessary that they should meet from time to time, in order to comply with the terms of the charter, as otherwise the cor- porate existence of the company might be- come a matter for the courts to determine. Changes Not Probable. It was once believed that some changes in the composition of the board would be made at the annual meeting, but it is now considered as improbable, as, with possibly one or two exceptions, the membership suits the capitalists who at this time con- trol a majority of the bonds. Tie board as now constituted is composed of Messrs. E. R. Bacon, Howland Davis, Fitzgerala, William A. Read ana Eugene Delano of New York; Messrs. W. H. Blackford, W. Frick, Maurice Gregg, George C. Jenkins, James L. McLane, Al- exander Shaw and George A. Von Lingen of Baitimore. It is conceded that J. P. Morgan & Com- pany. who are the representatives of about $40,009,000 of bonds of the Baltimore and Onno, would not be averse to having a per- sonal representative in the directory, but it is also believed that they will not make any Vigorous effort to secure this, as, in a statement made within a few days past, they have virtually intimaged that they ex- pect to reorganiz> the company, and hav in fact, requested holders rities of the company to deporit their bonds with them. Chief among the bonas asked for by Me s. Morgan & Company are those of the Baltimore Belt Line Com- pany, which built the tunnel underneath the city of Baltimore, and which is the all- important link for the Baltimore and Ohio between Washington and Philadelphia and New York. The Company's Prospects. A statement issted after the adjourn- ment of yesterda: meeting was that everything indicated increased prosperity for the company, provided the recommen- dations heretofore made by Mr. Murray for the improvement of the condition of the road, and to which reference has been made in The Star from time to ume, are carried into effect. For some months reports have been in circulation that Mr. E. R. Bacon would retire from the presidency of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railway Company, the majority cf whose stock is owned by the Baitimcre and Ohio company, at the annual meeting of the first named com- pany next Wednesday, and that he would be succeeded by Mr. Oscar G. Murray, one of the receivers of the Baltimore and Ohio. This chanze, there is reason to believe, was agreed upon, but it seems now that Mr. Bacon will be re-elected. It is feared by some of those who are largely i ed in the bonds of the Baltimore Southwestern that, if the change should be made ané a receiver of the Baltimore and Ohio be clected president of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern, confusion would result and the credit of the company of which Mr. Bacon is the head be injured. on has recently returned from a trip to Europe in the interest of his com- pany, and while he was away Mr. Murray had charge. In compliance with the re- quest of the directors, Mr. Murray made some suggestions as to the manner of op- erating the road, which were adopted, and both the traffic and operating departments were vigorously cverhauled and men of well-known ability placed at their head. As the result of the changes made a new spirit was infused into the rank and file of the employes and an increase of business followed. Increase in Earnings. It is said the operation for the four months ended October 31 show an increase in gross earnings of about $250,000 as com- pared with the results of the same period of last year, and a. the property ss said to be in first-class condition it is believed in inside circles that no change will be made in (Re Pie ohat of siccincidence that the lines of both the Baltimore and Ohio and Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore, between this city and Wilmi inspected by their respective s cials yesterday. It was stated that both were found to be in first-class condition. —— FEVER’S PROGRESS. YELLOW Report of Dr. Gniteras to Surgeon General Wyman, Surgeon General Wyman has received a report from Dr. John Guiteras, professor of general pathology in the University of Pennsylvania, regarding his investigation of yellow fever in the south. Dr. Guiteras says the conditions existing in Cuba during the early part of the past suminer made it very probable that yellow fever would extend from that island to this country. Discussing the general sub- ject of yellow fever diagnosis, Dr. Guiteras holds that during life the microscope could not establish a positive diagnosis of yel- low fever. He speaks of this in connection with the statement that an erroneous be- lief has prevailed throughout the south, expecially among physicians who were not practical microscopists, that the instru- ment should be an important aid in the diagnosis of the disease. It is pointed out that even with the assistance of post-mor- tem examinations Sanarelli, the yellow fever expert, was able to discover his bacilius in 56 per cent only of the cases examined. Dr. Guiteras says as far as our present methods go it would be impossible to dis- tinguish between a drop of yellow fever blood and blood from a healthy man. Ref- erence is made to the prevalence of wide- spread mild epidemic fever during the present outbreak of yellow fever, many of the cases of which Dr. Guiteras thinks were those of dengue. Yellow fever ap- pears to spread more easily when there is an epidemic of dengue prevailing. All evi- dence goes to show that a previous attack ef dengue does not protect against yellow fever, and the former must be looked upon as an entirely distinct disease. Dr. Guiteras thinks the cause of a yel- low fever epidemic is to be found in the introduction into a community of cases that are not suspected to be the disease, which occurs probably most frequently in connection with colored» people, who usually have the fever in a miid form. The importance of the diagnosis of the first case of yellow fever in a community is strongly insisted upon. In concluding Dr. Guiteras speaks of the interference with his movements by the fear of commu- nities that he might convey the disease from place to place, fear which “was in part genuine and due to ignorance, but was also in part a pretended fear of those who knew better.’ OS aE Judge Jackson’s Ruling Criticised. At the meeting of the National Republi- can Anti-Civil Service League last even- ing, presided over by President A. M. Clapp, much routine business was trans- acted. Several members addressed the the recent decision of Judge Jack- son in which he upheld the civil service law being freely criticised. Sx Raiser Rucker’s Assailant Arrested.

The board of control of the Dist D- worth League held a meeting last night at Foundry Church, to complete arrangements for the seventh annual convention, which will be held in Hamline Church the 26th, 27th and 28th of this month. All the com- mittees reported their work finisned. The first evening, Friday, will be taken up by a general mass meeting of all the chapters in the District, at which there will be a good musical program, and ad- dresses by Rev. W. L.

Saturday evening will be the busi- ness meeting of the convention, when the annual reports will be received and officers elected for the ensuing year. Sunday will be Epworth League day throughout the city. Epworth League ser- mons will be preached in all Methodist churches in the morning, and in the even- ing there will be a union consecration ser- vice in Hamline Church. Dr. Stricklen will preach the convention sermon. SE THE OTHER SIDE. Bringing Up Memories of the War by Southern Papers. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: I was surprised to find in The Tuesday <vening, under “Annotated Edito- rials of The Star,” an article from the Alexandria Daily Gazette, with appended comment thereon by the Richmond Daily Dispatch, both in the vein 6f rebel hate for the victory achieved for national unity and human liberty, accompanied by sneers at our country’s flag, “old glory.” The impression has been south and north that the war of the rebellion was quite over, but it seems from these two organs of southern sentiment that with some the south hate survives and the sting of defeat still causes groans to be emilted by the wounded. The text of both the zette and the Dispatch was a simp mark by The Star in deprecation of V ler's brutal war in Cuba against women childrer. and old men—the “pacifi- by confining them inexorably within starvation bounds—that he was, it said, “whhout a vestige of excuse among civil- ized people.” On this slender pretext the or of the Gazette went out of his way to set the old war sores to running again, Star of He first aludes to an alleged order of Gen. Ewing in Missouri by which the people of “a large rural ‘tion,”’ that was in the immediate path’ y of active war, were removed, as a measure and humanity for them, into the towns; and the Gazette alleges also that Gen.
