Port Gibson, Mc '' y City, Magnolia, Utica and other l-'ints in Mississippi, Martin, Grand Juiition and Oakland, Term., and I fayotte and Tangipahoa, La., all are : -;Ti ran tined against freight, whether f.:n-i tented or not. In addition there : ;11 manner of cross quarantines. .Mississippi has probably the severest r uitine and much bitterness has f "o-,ved it. Governor Vardaman has ' : i 1 over the quarantine to a joint u i ral beard and has called out tho -Mississippi . militia for quarantine ,on ike rulf coast where the condition is r u'rar, 'because most of the people v - r;t open communication with New Orleans and have petitioned the gov ' ! -n or to grant them the right to share the fate of this city.

' Mayor Martin- Behrman today gave out the following signed statement to the newsDapers: "New Orleans is suffering more from the rigid quarantines than from yel low fever; of which the citizens here h'ave the fullest control. The mosquito theory is accepted by' our physicians and laymen u'Ike, and there is noth ing remaining to be done hut to 'light the , mosquitoes which is being done by oiling the glitters and screening and oiling the cisterns. The number of new cases was less yesterday by five than on the preceding day. We have the situation so thoroughly in hand that we believe we will shortly convince the world that by working on the mosquito theory yellow fever will be entirely robbed of its perils and that shotgun quarantines are senseless as a method to fight yellow fever, as such methods can not pre vent the spread of the mosquitoes. This is a right wholly against the stegoymia fasciati mosauito. "MARTIN BEHRMAN, "Mayor." Dr. Souchon feels no alarm over the present situation. He considers that excellent results have followed the campaign as far as it has progressed. (Continued On Page Two.) MOORE RAILROADED OUT No Time Lost in Ridding the Government of Him The President Heard of the Nitro culture Matter July 15, and on the 28th an ' Investigation Had Re sulted in Moore's Resignation Oyster Bay, July 29. In some corre spondence given out at the executive office today lies the full explanation of Geo. T. HW e, the . department of agriculture scientist, whose name was connected with the Nitro-Culture Com pany. As indicated by the dates of the letters the action on Moore's case was cyclonic In its swiftness. One reason the president wishes the facts published is to show that any questionable act by members of the de partment of agriculture or of any other department will be investigated with, similar disnatch.- The president's attention was first called to the nitro-culture matter by Manager T. ' D. Harman of the Axtell Rush Publishing Company of Pitts burg, publishers of the National Stock man and Farmer, in a letter dated July 15. On' July 17 the president enclosed this letter to Secretary Wilson with a request for a report. jOn July 2S Secretary Wilson sent this reply to Mr. Barnes, acting secretary to the presi dent: '-'''. "I received from you & few days ago certain papers herewith returned, coming to the president from' the Ax tel Rush Publishing Company of Pitts burg relative to the development and exploitation of nitro-culture in this de partment. I have looked into the mat ter, and today Mr. George T. Moore brought me his resignation which' I accepted, and of which I send you a . ... i copy. We win sena , copy oi me pa pers to the department of justice and have. them-determine whether the case requires action by thipm. A copy of Mr. Moore's resignation wlith the explanatory 'statement In which he tells how he returned the stock the . Nitro-culture Company re served for him - after 'his salary was raised were" also given out here. The report that Secretary Wilson has forwarded his resignation to the presi dent was not confirmed here, but that ia nn nrnof that It has not been re- Th nreaident. it is known. thinks very highly of the secretary of agriculture and despite the disclosures in that department the president, it is said, means to keep Mr. Wilson from resigning if possible. So that even were the resignation here the if act would most llkelya to be withheld. COUNTERFEIT TOBACCO STAMPS Big Seizure of Cigars and Tobacco in a New York Factory New York, July 29.

A most horrible and shocking accident occurred at Davis' shore, about ten mile seast of Beaufort, yesterday af ternoon when Sutton Davis, a sixteen-year-old lad, while wading and play ing in the water, was suddenly attack ed . and eaten by a very large shark.

Thorough search has been made, but ho particle of his body has been found. Those that were with Davis were terribly frightenedt but could not hel the poor boy. The accident has thrown a feeling of horror over our townspeople and the guests of the community. : The people, and particularly the children, have enjoyed the fine dives and in vigorating swimming . matches which they daily participate in. A large number of sharks have been noticed in our waters for two weeks, but no one felt much anxiety concern ing the terrible monsters. A larype quantity of fat backs have been caught this month and a quantity of refuse meat has been thrown back in the water from the factories, and sharks have come In to feast on it It iS'the first time a. person has been molested. by - a shark in our waters in nearly fifty years. DEPEW RETURNS He Is Not Prepared to Discuss Equit able Afialis ' New York, July 29. Among the pas sengers on board the American line steamer St. Paul was Senator Depew.' The senator was met at quarantine by a New York Central" tug with three of the railroad officials aboard. Mr. Depew was looking well and felt much improved by his trip across the ocean and back. When asked if he would make any statement about the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance So ciety, Mr. Depw replied that, being greatly in the dark as to what had happened during his absence, he could not and would not make any state ment at present. "I expect to go straight home and will not say anything for publication tonight , and probably not for a couple of days. So many things have hap pened while I have been absent that, much as I should like to oblige the gentlemen of the press, I do not care to say anything till I have had a day or two to go over the matter and have a talk with the officials of the Equitable. When I have become more familiar with the run of affairs I shall be better able to make some state ment." CARLTON'S DOUBLE . - . - Supposed Wife Murderer's Story Fails to Impress the Police New York, July 29. Frederick. Carton, the man on whom the Brooklyn police are trying to fasten a charge of wife murder, declared today that all his troubles are due to a double. This double, Carlton says, Is his own cousin, and. he has had to stand for-this mart's doings for many years. Carlton-'told the story in all seriousness and answer ed questions glibly about his annoying relative. , ' . "This man is remarkably like me' said Carlton, "and my lawyers are now looking for him. We think we can lay hands on him. I feel now that I am in a bad scra,pe, and my only hope is to produce this man who resembles me so much." Carlton's story of his double made, his listeners look dubious, and he was questioned. He declared that his double, whose name he, refuses to give, ' re sembled him exactly even to facial marks. "But his finger on the left hand is not crooked," said a questioner. "Oh, yes it is," was the reply." -He's. got the same kind of a finger. He told me he broke it playing baseball, but I believe he broke it himself so that it would resemble mine. Why, he looks so much like me that my wife my first wife, Jennie Smyth was deceived vfor a week. I was living In Washington then and one th 3 when I returned home after a week's absence I found him occupying my chair. He fooled my wife all right and she thought he was her husband. v v Inspector Cross says he Is positive that Carlton is the man who has travel ed over the United States under many aliases. Carlton, on the other hand, is - just as positive that Inspector Jross is barking up the wrong tree, SUSPICIOUS CASES Yellow Fever Suspects on Vessels Arriving at New York New-York, July 29.

WILSON WILL HOLD ON Says He Enjoys Serving the American People - i A New Story of Graft Involves Two Congressmen Who Have a Dairy Farm on the Potomac Specious .Explanation Given Washington, July 29. Secretary Wil son Is very . much incensed against he persons responslbe i 'l-"the circulation of the report in Washington yesterday, and referred to In these dispatches this morning, that; he had forwarded his resignation to President Roosevelt. He emphatically denied that he had taken such a step, or that he contemplated retiring from the cabinet. He said: "Maliciously gotten up, maliciously circulated by those that lie. I have not resigned and do not intend to resign. I am, not discouraged with conditions In the . department. I am not - dis couraged by unfair criticism of me be cause I am letting such criticism alone for a minute. I am n6t a sick man. On the other hand I never felt better in my life than. I do now. I think the American people are well worth serv ing. I am going to stay right here serv ing them." An evening paper here printed the following this afternoon: "The newest story of graft in the de partment involves Representatives Hull of Iowa and Wadsworth of New York, owners of the High Point dairy farm in Virginia. It is alleged that in- the course of their agricultural operations these distinguished horticulturists have secured frop the department of agri culture some hundreds of dollars' worth of fine seeds, especially grass, alfalfa and timothy. High Point farm is a place of nearly 4,000 acres, about thirty miles uown the Potomac. "AX the bureau of plant Industry the explanation is made that seeds have been sent to High Point for experi mental purposes because It was a par ticularly valuable place for such inves tigations. . Not only seed and grasses were furnished, but also a lot of shrub bery was sent down to the farm. Other wise, it is explained, the shrubs would have, been wasted. There is always a surplus after the congressional distri bution." ORDERS CANCELLED Chinese Boycott Against American Goods a Reality San Francisco, July 29.

Louis Getz, president of Getz Brothers & Co., one of the big im porting and exporting houses of this city, has received the following cable from Shanghai: "Cancel all orders. Boycott of American trade effective among Chi nese . merchants. AH business entirely suspended." This ' cable came from R. H. Van Zant, manager of Getzi's branch house In Shanghai, and it means that none of the goods which the firm is now pre paring for shipment to China will be sent. Louis Getz is1 making arrange ments to call a meeting of the Com mercial bodies in this city Monday. Mr. Getz thinks something should - be done to call off the boycott. Odessa, July 29.

Emilio Aguinaldo, looking impressive and describing him self a farmer, and not noticing a packed court room beyond nodding to a few friends, testified today in the Renaci mento libel case. This is the case in which three editors of the Renacimento, the most influential Filipino organ, were arrested on suspicion of libeling Cap tain Baker of the "constabulary, whom they charged with cruelty in the Cavite campaign. Aguinaldo testified that a constabulary officer visited- his farm and . compelled him to go to head quarters, where he was urged to in fluence Fellzardo and Montolon, ladrone leaders, to surrender. He refused to do so, alleging that he had no influence with the ladrones. Thereupon Captain Baker swore at him and insulted him. He . said he knew of several consta bulary outrages. He said that ladronism Is steadily diminishing. Prosecuting Attorney Smith cross-examined Aguinaldo. The former rebel leader became pitifully rattled. He abandoned his attempt to speak in Spanish and testified in the Tagalog dialect through an interpreter. He re iterated weakly the statement that he was leading a retired life as an example to his - countrymen, but was forced ,to admit that he had been' familiar with recent raids, which he deliberately said could not be assigned to the restoration of peace.' ' ' -' 'VV. '. "''..".'""'. - Just at this time Aguinaldo was dra matically and suddenly confronted with five horribly tortured Filipinos who had been rescued and succored by the con stabulary. One of theset seventy-three years old, had his tongue sliced, one had been hamstrung, two others had been hamstrung and their Hps hideously cut, and one had his legs hacked off by the Cavite ladrones. This created an extraordinary sensation. Hundreds of people crowded the court room for half the day waiting for and afterwards listening. to the testimony of Aguinaldo. ON THE ISTHMUS Canal Employes to Be Concentrated Under Supervision New York, July 29. Panama canal commmissioners, General Peter C Haines and B. M. Harrod, arrived here to-day on the steamer Serguranca. Mir. Harold described some work of concentrating the canal employes un der close supervision, which .will be consumated soon. The commmissioner said: v "We have . beeen ten days on tjhe isthmus looking over the work and preparing details ' and reports to pre sent' to the advisory board September 1st. These details it was impossible to get by mall. Many things required our personal attention. The principal work at present is- the establishment of quarters for the employes and the food supply. We have completed two so-called hotels and have seven more under way. Thus we expect to move all our employes from the terminal port and scattered hamlets and bring them tinder close supervision. "We had! 1,500 employes under our charge In the 'month of June and had only three cases of yellow fever among them." COREA PROTESTS Demands to Be Consulted About Dis position of Territory Washington, July 29. Notice has been served on Russsia and Japan that any action which may be tjsen at the peace conference regarding Corean territory or the affairs of the Corean government will not be recog nized by it as valid and holding unless that government is first consulted. A communication to the state department from , the Corean government has notified this country of the attitude of Corea. Whether ;or not Corea de siran the assistance rt President R03evelt in securing itself from any action of the peace conference is not known, but if such a request is made of the president it is not likely that he will take any steps towards secur ing a discussion of ttie question Sy the plenipotentiaries. The Corean attitude, almost identi cal with that assumed by the Chi nese government, somewhat compli cates thesituation, but everything, in cluding arrangements to satisfy, both Corea and China, will doubtless be arrranged before any definite steps are taken w th regard to the disppsi tion of either Manohuria or Corea.' It is not likely that the Corean govern ment will call on any foreign govern ment for assistance in securing' its rights upheld, as Japanese control is such in Corea that scarcely any ac t on can be taken by the king with out the consent of the 'Japanese gov ernment. , Kentucky a Haven of Refuge Louis vile, Ky..

The Americans started o Kioto to night, attended by the Count and Countess Tereahima. officers . of the imperial household and the secretary and naval attache of the American le gation.

Again Next Tuesday- 'v Washington, July 29. The case o2 Moses Haas, cne of the recalcitrant witnesses from New York before th grand jury in the cotton report leak age cases, was heard today, by JudgaV Wfright of the criminal court, who held that Secretary Wilson's report put Haas in the attitude of a defend- ant in the proceeding and that "ha could not be required to answer ques tions tending to incriminate himselfA Questions of a non-criminating char-' acter must be answered, and all' in qulrles concerning which there may b a doubt must be submitted to Justice Wright. The district attorney gave notice to Mr. Haas that he would expect hi to appear before the grand jury nex j-uesaay, ana he informed Judgr Wright that it is probahle that other questions will be brought to his atten tion as the inquiry proceeds. The judge issued an order rp'nnWn Haas to answer the questions as tof vcind ue wfcuu ever uvea in wasnmg ton or had been employed in' the de partment of agriculture, and excuslti him from answering those as to wheth er he knew Holmes or Broker pec k-1 hajii. - i ,Messrs. Blrney and Alter appeared! for Haas, and Birney presented thd defendant's answer to the grand jury's presentment. He quoted from the re port made. by Mr., Wilson and said that! if the secretary's statements concern ing Haas were true, they "involve! him in the accusation of crime against the United States." Hence hi srefuFall to testify on the ground that his tes timony would have a tendency to in- criminate himself. Haas claimed tof -be exempt from the requirement to testify on constitutional grounds andf urged that he had intended no con-' tempt of court, concluding as follows: "This respondent says that his re- pounded to him before the said gpand jury were in good faith, anck only because he really believed that' to answer said questions, or any of them, might tend to incriminate him in conection with the said Edwin S.) Holmes and subject him to a penalty or forfeiture, and such refusals were not, nor was rany of them, made in contempt of the court or the said1 grand ' jury, nor with any purpose to: impede or obstruct the administration of justice, but only in furtherance of; . his, claim of privilege under the con-K stitution and laws of the United States t as herrelnbefore set forth. "And the respondent verily believte that if he shall answer the said quf&. tions, or any of them, his answer maV tend to incriminate him. The promise ; considered, your respondent respect fullv submits that he should not 6s, required to answer the said questions? and that the said rule should be ais-'. charged." .' In support . of Mr. Haas answer Mir. Blrney undertook to read further from Secretary Wilson's report, when Distrrlct Attorney Beach madde t4 point that the rreporr. naa no ieg?. the court, the only point being wnetner connection with the quesion before Haas had refused to answer questions nut to him bv the jrrand jury. After some colloquy Mr. Beach withdrew me. objection and Mr. Blrney proceeeded with his reading and argument. Mr. Birney Instanced the fact that even in the brief proceedings before the grand jury, Mr. Beach had sought to prove the connection oeiwet-n Holmes and Haas, showing that tne establishment of connection Is essen tial to establish crime.
