As a result of the clash of authority an Interesting situation arises. The action of the state board In ordering quarantine followed the discovery of a case of yellow fever here. It was feared other cases would develop owing to the presence in the city of hundreds of refugees from New Orleans, Pensacolu and other fevei infected points.

Dr. MacArthur Defends J. Thousands of Veterans A negro, whose sole and only name, as far as can be learned, is "Charley", made things lively in the lower end of the city yesterday morning. Ho was working for Fitzpatrick, the liveryman, and became enraged when he was given a rebuke for failing to do his work in the stable. He threatened that he would do bodily harm to the proprietor of the stable, James Fitzpatrick, jr., and, encouraged by the strength received from a well developed "jag," started to carry out his purpose. He went out first to receive liquid reinforcement and, in the meantime, Fitzpatrick called for a policeman. Whenjthe negro returned he attacked Ritzpatrick, who promptly floored himj Otlicer Price appeared on the seefle at this time and placed him under arrest. He will be given a hearing today. "The special committee on assessments of the supreme council of the Royal Arcanum reported to the body on the various petitions, resolutions and protests in regard to the new rates.

The state board also censured the city board for delay in announcing that there was a case of fever here. The city board resented the criticism and refused to quarantine, being moved to that course by pressure from business interests which would be damaged by quarantine restrictions. The hoard, however, was not a unit in refusing. Some members held that quarantine should be declared, as an absence of restrictions against Infected points was a menace to the lives of people in Atlanta. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 4. — The treaty of Portsmouth has been completed. It consists of a preamble and seventeen articles. The flrst article pledges the two nations to dwell in harmony forever and to assist each other in the promotion of peace and commerce. The treaty was not perfected without friction. ISaron Komura insisted upon the wording which pleased him and which he regarded us best expressing the intent of certain clauses, and for several hours he was in a deadlock with D1. Wltte, who held that the language of Professor Martens accurately portrayed the agreement arrived at. Now York, Sept. 4.—Defense of John I). Rockefeller and denunciation of Governor La Follette of Wisconsin, who criticised him, garlanded with a few bouquets for William J. Bryan, were the principal points of the sermon delivered Inst night by the Rev. Dr. Robert 8. MacArthur, who has just returned from a summer lecturing tour on the Chautauqua assembly platform. Denver, Col., Sept. 4.—Visitors poured into Denver today from all directions. Veterans who attended former national encampments of the Grand Army of the Republic say they never saw a larger attendance on the first day of the great reunion week. All railways had extra: trains which were heavily loaded. There is no doubt of the fulfillment of the general prediction that the encampment will be largely attended despite the great distance the veterans from the cast and middle west are obliged to travel to reach the reunion city. Washington, Sept. 4.—In response to numerous inquiries from the United States regarding the orient as a Held inviting young men who have entered the professions of law, medicine and dentistry. Consul Anderson writes the department of commerce and labor at length explaining the methods that 'obtain In China. The consul does not offer much encouragement for young men going to China to engage in a profession. He says: RIOTING IN OLD FORGE. ✓ "They also recommended that a special fund be raised by the payment of 20 cents a year, to be used only for the relief of members of the rate of sixty-five years or over whose circumstances are such that they are not able to pay a portion or the whole of their assessments. The expenditure from this fraternal fund is to be under the direction of the supreme regent, in aceordancc with rules laid down by the executive committee. Dr. Mac Arthur made special and caustic reference to the speeches of Governor La Toilette which related to the multimillionaire head of the Standard Oil trust and declared them to be exaggerations which only served to excite sympathy for the person against whom they were directed. I)r. Strickler, in urging* quarantine, said: "It is possible for yellow fever to develop here. It ean be transmitted by the mosquito.. For the safety of Atlanta, however, the safe plan will be to institute a quarantine against the infected points." Italian Socialist Meeting "While there Is always more or less disposition on the part of some young men to push into untried portions of the world, such a movement in the United States is new and probably indicates a turn of natlonul development and national life which merits attention.Was a Hot One. Tho decorations may have been richer in triumphal arches and other designs at one or two other encampments, but at none was a city more profusely or generally decorated with' American Hags than is Denver today. Its business blocks, public and private buildings and homes are literally covered with festooJis of red, white und blue with tho American Hag as the centerpiece of every conceivable design. The flag Is the thing that Is displayed everywhere, and no city ever had more bunting out than this city shows today. The distinctive features of the decorations is the use of the red, white and blue to the exclusion of every other color, even the ever- Baron Komura always stated the Japanese position upon a given point briefly, but with great care, and when M. Witte, whose method was entirely different, would try to draw out explanations he would stick doggedly to the statement he had made. M. Witte, a man of affairs, resourceful and talented as he is admitted to be, had his case in his head. He never brought any papers with him. He met everything which came up in an offhand way, weighing it instantly In his miml, analyzing it. arguing the logic pro and con and stating his view quite bluntly, never asking for time to consider. Persons Intent on lircukiiig Up tlie It is probable the state board will declare a quarantine despite the city board, and the rase will go to court. Meanwhile many Georgia cities, acting on the order of the state board, have quarantined against Atlanta. Gathering Hired Small Boys to "Governor La Follette's attack ou Mr. Rockefeller," said Dr. MacArthur, "is positively fierce. Ilis criticism of Mr. Rockefeller is cruel, coarse and severe to the utmost extreme. It defeated its own object, creating sympathy for Mr. Rockefeller. The governor was guilty of exaggeration which reacted against himself and in favor of the object of his denunciation. The pendulum is swinging toward favorable judgment of Mr. Rockefeller largely hecause of the criticism in a monthly magazine article of members of his family. "Itepresentatlves McGowan of New York and Murray of Massachusetts presented a minority report regarding such amendments to the laws as would repeal the rates nnd options adopted In May last and re-enact the previous laws governing the widows' and orphans' benefit fund. They moved to substitute this resolution for so much of the report of the committee as related to the new rates and options, and on a roll call the motion to substitute was defeatc-d." Stone tlie Croivil—"-One Man "Business opportunities in the far east are comparatively well understood in their attractive as well as In their unattractive phases. Opportunities for the practice of the professions, however, are comparatively unknown. One reason for a movement among young men to come to the far oast to practice professions is in reports which have come to their ears of exceptional opportunities enjoyed by other men, of the good fortune of some men in buildiug up large business connections aiul of the earning of large fees by men In practice here. Was Hit and Then (Suns, Stones ami Chilis Made Tlie'lr Appearance. John Curuthers, who has yellow fever, is in a detention camp and is watched by a dozen physicians, who are experimenting. Ills case has caused some excitement, but no panic, because it is not believed the yellow fever mosquito can live here. A genuine riot occurred in a large field in Old Purge yesterday as the result of a meeting of Italian Socialists, an organization that has largo numbers In the lower end of Uackawatina county. The riot was started by some small boys, who started to stone the gathering. These, it is said, were hired to throw stones by enemies of the organization. green arches. The Colorado posts have been busy today escorting visiting comrades from the depots to their hotels and other quarters. It was a busy day for the national officers and committees located at the Brown Palace hotel and they worked with their coats off from an early hour completing the final arrangements for the great gathering.

One of those present likened Baron Komura to a horse in "blinders"—as long as he was on the beaten road, with his work cut out ahead of b)iu, he got along swimmingly, but the /nstant he was off the road into the'woods with the "J.linders" removed he appeared to lie confused and lost and hastened back as speedily as possible to the road he had mentally traveled so often and with every foot of which he was familiar.

"I hesitate not to affirm that the writing of these articles is creating a reaction In favor of Mr. Rockefeller. And I know whereof I affirm when I say that Governor La Follette Shocked his audiences. There is a vast amount of arrant hypocrisy in public speakers' denunciations of millionaires. Probably all of these speakers would be millionaires If they could." Predicts a Reaction, 500 members of the organization gathered In a Held near the Italian Protestant ehurch, to hear addresses by local speakers. The meeting had hardly started when there was a rain of small stones, which struck several persons. Then some outsiders commenced to disturb the meeting and, suddenly, a genuine riot broke loose. In which guns and clubs wero flourished and a large number of stones thrown. A man named Pipee was hit with a large stone and rendered unconscious. After a time the riot died down and dozens of siightly injured rioters went to thell' homes. Pipee was attended .by Dr. Timlin.

Americans Have Nothing to Gain, Colon, Sept. 4.—The report by the medical authorities of the canal zone that the death 011 Aug. 2(5 of laborers employed 011 the wharf at La Boca was due to bubonic plague has been declared false by Jeronlmo Ossa, the Ecuadorean consul In Colon, lie says there have Imhux 110 additional cases ol bubonic plague 011 the isthmus. "That large fees have been earned both in medicine, law, dentistry and otherwise Is to lDe freely admitted. It docs not follow, however, that all practitioners here can earn fees of this sort or that the opportunity will come here any oftener than it does in the United States. Generally speaking and considering matters in all their lights. I do not believe that young men in America have anything to gain by attempting to build up a professional practice in China. DEATHBED CONFESSION. Philadelphian Raises a Family Under zations. a False Name, I)r. MacArthur paid a glowing tribute to the exponent of free silver, speaking of Bryan as "the foremost figure on the platl'onu today." Feel Iiii|HMi(ling Doom Cincinnati, Sept. 4.—After living for twenty-eight years under an assumed name, marrying and becoming the father of several children, Frank Hugh Sclioales of Philadelphia died in the St. Francis hospital here with a confession on his lips that the name of Frank K. IJose, under wlifet, lie wa.« known and married, had been assumed because he had committed a great crime in Philadelphia. Emperors Will Sign The direct result of this reported prevalence of the plague is that Central American and Mexican ports re fuse to receive freight sent by way ot the isthmus. Costa Itica and Nicaragua have been closed altogether to Isthmian ports. Several thousand tons ol freight for Central America and Mexico is tied up on the isthmus, and additions are being made to It with the arrival of every vessel. Tho feeling of impending doom In the minds of many victims fDt Bright's disease and diabetes has been changed to thankfulness by the benefit derived from taking Foley's Kidney Cure. It will cure Incipient Bright's disease and diabetes and even In the worst cases gives comfort and relief, slight disorders are cured In a few days. "I had diabetes In Its worst form," writes Marlon Lee, of Punreath, Ind. "I tried eight physicians without relief. Only three bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure made 'me a well man." Houck's drue store. Wiiile full synopsis of the treaty will be cabled to the governments of the two countries, the actual texts will not be known at Tokyo or St. Petersburg until the plenipotentiaries arrive. It is ejected .that to cable such a long document textually would make it possible for an expert later, when the text becomes public, to work .out the government ciphers. M. Witte will personally convey the text to St. Petersburg and Baron Komura to Tokyo. This is the ruling reason why both are anxious to get home as soon as possible, as the treaty does not go into force until the two emperors have "Mr. Bryan delivered a lecture entitled 'The I'rince of Peace,' which Is one of the greatest lectures of our times," said the clergyman. "It is really a sermon, and he'Treijltently delivers it on Sundays. Mr. Bryan has broadened and deepened and heightened in recent years, lie is a man of remarkable eloquence and power. Ills noble character adds weight to his eloquent siieech, and his friends aiflrin that he will be the next Democratic candidate for president and will be the next president of the United States. "There are three professions which are attrnetlnff the attention and em ploying the abilities of foreigners in China at the present time—those of the law, medicine and dentistry. The Chinese people have had all three of these professions for ages, but their practice has been far different from the practice In other lands, and it will be some time liefore Chinese competition in any of them will be felt except through foreign training and as a result of the efforts of foreigners.

Hongkong, Sept. 4. — The United States transport with Secretary Taft on board, arrived here. All members of tlie party are well. Owing tCD the unpleasant demonstrations against America and the display of posters In Canton there were many arguments on the Logan as to whether or not the party should go to Canton, as planned.

Chuifli Yesterday To avoid the delay of exchange of documents, which would involve six weeks at least, official notification of the final approval by the czar and mikado will be made through neutrals, the United States in the case of Japan and France/In the case of ltnssia. The text or the treaty will nut be made public at Portsmouth. It' it ever Is it will be after it has received the approval of the two emperors. M. Witte. when questioned upon tills subject. remarked laughingly, "You are at liberty to announce both in Europe and America that we are willing to make the treaty of Portsmouth public as soon as the new Anglo-Japanese treaty is given to the world." signed it "His friends' reasoning is ingenious. They say that President Itoosevelt will push his reform measures for .federal or some other potent control of the trusts and great corporations; that the stand patters will oppose him; that he will not brook their opposition; that the Republican party will be divided; that new alignments of both parties will be made; that new forces will gather together about Mr. Bryan and that he will be the next president. So his devoted followers reason. Said of Roosevelt. —Solemn llifrli Service Was "Chinese medical men have not been in very good standing among their own people for many years. Chinese dentists have done more than their fellows in the medical line, and, all things considered, Chinese dentistry, while it cannot compare with modern dentistry as practiced in America and Europe, especially in the former, is far above what might have been expected when other sciences in China are considered." Held In a letter to a newspaper here Mrs Rose, now living on the north side, this city, refers to the deathbed confession of her husband and asks that publicity lie given the case in order that the son may lie discovered. She did not wish to make the matter public at first, but her husband hud told her before he died to find the son and tell him the truth.

Interesting developments are likely to result as an outcome - of Secretary Taft's visit. Against Ringing of Church Bell A cold or cough nearly always produces constipation—the water all  to the eyes, nose and throat instead of passing out of the system through the llvtr and kidneys. For the want of moisture the bowels become dry and hard. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar is the original laxative cough syrup. It meets and corrects the above conditions by acting as a pleasant cathartic on the bowels—expels all colds from the system and cures all coughs, croup, whooping cough, lagrlppe, bronchitis, etc. T. J. Kites. A laxative Cough Syrup. Peilport, N. Y., Sept. 1.—Much comment has been caused here by the action of Dr. C. W.

An Exclusive Affair, The signing of the treaty is to lie a very exclusive affair.

Every manufacturer of pens In the United States and many in Europe have sent pens to Mr. l'eirce begging him to have the treaty signed with the product of their factories. Private individuals by the score have also sent pens. To avoid favoritism Mr. Peiree has procured four ordinary quill pens, with one of which each of the plenipotentiaries will sign. Paralysis Cured by Prayer. I)r. MacArthur characterized Governor Folk's addresses as models ot patriotism and the governor as a man of the noblest ideals. "Governor Folk has won his spurs," continued the doctor, "and I have it on good authority that not fewer than 100,000 Republicans voted for him. The governor, it nominated as the Democratic candidate for president of the United States, will draw an enormous Republican vote in the south and southwest."
