The Mosquito Responsible the Transmission of Ibis for Fell Disease. SOME ARMY SURGEONS SAY. A Circular of Instructions Issued by the Surf eon Qeoeral Has Been Demon strated Fever Cannot be veyedby Clothing. Con- Bv TMecraDb to tbe MornlnK Star. Washington, April 17 Surgeon General Sternberg has just given his approval, without reservation, to the report of the special board composed of 8urgeot s Reed, Carroll and Agra monte upon the "etiology of yellow fever," in which the conclusion was reached that the mosquito is respon sible' for the transmission of this fell disease. Moreover, the medical de partmentof the army is moving ener getically to put into practical opera tion methods, which form the basis of the report. To-day Surgeon General Sternberg formally approved a circular preparea by Chief Surgeon Havard at Havana with this endorsement: "In my opinion the present state of our knowledge fully justifies the pub lication of this circular " ' The text of the circular which will form the instructions for all medical officers in the army in treating fever are attached. The general orders ref.r red to under head one provide for the liberal use of coal oil to prevent the hatching out of - motquito eggs. The circular says: - "The recent experiments mad" in H-tvana by the medical department f tbe armv having proved that yel low fever, like malarial fever, is con veyed chiefly, and probably exclus ively, by the bite of infected mos quitoes, important changes in the measures used for th prevention and treatment of this disease have become uecet-sary. "So far as yellow fever is concerned, infection of room or building simply means tbat it contains infected moa quitoes, that is mosquitoes which have fed on yellow feyer patients. Direct infection, therefore, means the em ployment of measures aimed at the destruction of these mosquitoes. Tbe m 8t flciive of thes- measures is umigaiion, either with sulphur, for maldehyde or insect powder. Toe fumes of su lphur are the quickest and i.ne most ff etive insecticide, but are otherwise objectionable. Formalde hyde gas is quite eff-etive if the in fected rooms are kept closed and sealed for two or three hours. Tbe smoke of insect powder has also been proved useful; it readily stupefies mos quitoes, which drop to tbe floor and can be easily destroyed. "Tbe wasbine'of walls, floors.rCeil . infcs and furniture with disinfectants is unnecessary. "As it has been demonstrated tbat yellow fever cannot be conveyed by bedding, clothing, effects and baggage, tbey need not be subject to any special disinfection. Care should be taken, however, not to remove them from the infected rooms until after formal dehyde fumigation, so that they may not harbor any infected mosquitoes. "Medical officers taking care of yel low fever patients need cot be isolated ; they can attend other patients and associate with non immunes with per feet safely to the garrison.' Nurses and attendants taking care of yellow fever patients should remain isolated. so as to avoid any possible danger of their conveying mosquitoes from patieuis to nonMnimuues "Malarial fever, like yellow fever, is communicated by mosquito bites, and therefore is just as much of an in fectious disease and requires the same measures cf prelection against mos quitoes. On tbe assumption that mos quitoes remain in the vicinity of their oreeding places or never travel far, the prevalence of malarial fever at a post would indicate want of proper care and diligence on tbe part of the surgeon and commanding officer."

Sheet Steel Company Officials Contend Men Have Violated Their Af reemeot. Will be Several Days Before Strike la Declared. Bv TelegraDb to the Morning star. Pittsbtbg, Pa., April 17. Chances of a strike of all tbe men of the Amal gamand Association employed in the orgauiz d mills of the American Sheet Steel Company and subsequently of' all theorganiz-d men of the a&socia tion in the mills of tbe United States 8teel Corporation, tremble in the bar once to-night. On the ne hand Presi dent T. J. 8haffer is backed up in his determination to call a general strike by a majority of his advisory board and the district vice presidents and trustees, who were in session all day to day. Ou the other hand, there is a new move toward conciliation and arbitra tiou, which may end the entire cotaro versy in Pittsburg tomorrow, or it may be carried to New York to be ad justed by higher powers. President T. J. 8hff- r said to night that the outlook for settlement is b-i ter than at any time since the McEees port trouble started. He refused to explain this statement. The session of the Amalgamated Union took no action on the president's tropot-ed resolution giving him power to call out the men of the 8beet Com pany, ai d subsequently as he ses fit all the men of the new Morgan C m pany. This is accounted for iu tbe absence of two officials who will be present to morrow. Violated Agreement. M ucb of tbe session to-day was taken up in a conferei.ee witb John Jarrett, bead of the labor bureau of the Sheet Steel Company. Mr. Jarrett con tended tbat the men had violated their agreement of a year ago, in which they agreed to - remain at work under the conditions then existing, the violation being in their joining issues with tbe association. . The amalgamated men were firm in aserting mat their join iug of the association was not a vola tion of the agreement. A canvass of all parties to the dis pute indicates tbat tbe declaration of a strike will not lake place for several days Tbe effort at conciliation to be made toi morrow will be followed by others that will take time. The officials of tbe amalgamate assoc iation have been considering the mat terif. strike carefully. They have de cided tbat in case of a general strike the anti-C'imbine cry will sweep over the country like wiidfire and that there will be an array of public senti ment on their side such as was never before arrayed on the side of a striking body of men. Statement from Morgan Compaoy. New Yoek, April 17. William P. Hamilton of J. P. Morgan & &m pany, when asked to-day concerning the strike of rthe employes of the American 8het Steel Company, at McKeesport, made the following state ment: "I see that one of the labor leaders has spoken of tbe danger of a spread of the strike. I assume tbat it is his duty to speak in this manner. But as far as this firm is concerned its alti tude toward labor is well kno wn. We are friendly, and there is no possibil ity of a clash." Statesville Landmark'. Moat of the cotton mills throughout the coun try have reduced their output and are running on short time, while some have shut down. The Statesville cot ton mill is an exception It is running on full time, day and night, and is about the only mill in this section tbat is. Mr. C H. Lester is showing a curious formation which he found recently in the heart of a pine tree. Tne thing (it is nameless) closely re sembles a piece of tanned sheep skin, and nearly everybody who sees it thinks it is the skin of some animal that has been tanned. What it is com posed of and what caused the forma tion in tbe heart of a pint tree is a sub j-ct for discussion.

MI mmm One of the Thousands Who Testify to the Great Worth of Paine's Celery Compound. Governor Richard Yates is the son of Richard Yates, the war governor of Illinois. Yates is to Illinois what Roosevelt is to the energetic, an bitious, progres sive element in the East. One of the most convincing speakers in the West, he is a man of great personal magne tism, as an incident during the Presi dent's Inauguration reception at the White House showed. The Hamilton C:ub of Chicago were received by President McKinley in the Eist Room. After the introduction. Bank Kxami ner Lamson sang "Illinois." the last line changed to "True to Yates and McKinley. Illinois." One source of Gov. Yates' 'great strength with all classes is his willing ness to recognize merit and to em ploy the best means, without fear or favor. '. ' Needing a spring remedy for him seH, and knowing Paine's celery com pound by reputation, and believing it to be the best spring remedy obtain able, he used it with such excellent results that he is willing to add his name to the many others in respon sible positions who have publicly en dorsed Paine's celerv compound Goldsboro Argus: Quite a curiosity passed through this city Tuesday bv express from Newbern on its way to the State Museum at Raleigh. It was an old fashioned hand-oower cotton gin, which saw service over one hundred years ago and is still well preserved.
