LONDON. Sept. 9. ( New York Cablegram
Special Telegram. ) I have obtained the
following Important statements from eminent
Irish ecclesiastical and Urltlsh statesmen on
the winter outlook for Ireland. Earl Ca
dogan. viceroy of Ireland , voices the mlnl.i-
lerlal view and the fact of his giving an
opinion to the World sliD.vs the profound
'anxiety ot thu government concerning the
effect ot the universal cry of alarm In all
parts of Ireland. Archbishop Croko , one
of the meat Illustrious and venerated mem
bers of the Irish hierarchy , speaks with ex-
ceptlonil knowledge and ripe experience ,
while the dioceses ot the bishops of Rote ,
Clonfcrt and Oalway are among those most
acutely affected by the failure of Iho harvest.
William O'llrlcn has tinsui passed tonowlodgo
of Irish conditions and resides In ono of
the poorest antl mosl congested dlslrlcts of
Connaught.
Earl Cadogan , viceroy of Ireland , directed
the f 'lowlng message to bo sent the World : , i
Dt'ULIN CASTLE , Sept. 9.-In reply to

MALWOOD. Lyndliiiist , Sept S.-1 have
n.ul with deep concetn the UKistrous ac
count of the condition of crops In Ireland
The short biipply of wheat has already
Horlously raised the price of broml. 1 have
never been able to comprehend the point ol
view of those who regard high prices and
dear food u a blessing to mankind. It Is
n condition of things which presses most
hevcioly on the classes of the community
who are least able to bear It and yet there
ate people who desire to aggravate the in
clemency of the season by the production
of an artificial sc.uelty. It will bo an Im
portant object lesson to mark how far I is
xvc aio conlldontly assured mint be the
case ) the rise In the price of corn is alien led
by a corresponding rise In Iho i.ito of
iwagcs In consequence. A failure of the food
supply has Us mosl painful Illustration In
the case of lie-land , where' so largo a portion
of the population constantly lives nn the
verge of destitution. If , ns you Inform mo ,
Iho enhanced price of e-oin IK tttu-nded by
a failure of the potato crop In Ireland a
Hllunllon v.Ill nilso which will demand the
unxloiis attention of the government.

no battle tonight that of preventing any

The news from the .Mississippi sound was
atlsfactory today and disappointing satis-

government experts had declared that ycl-
ow fever existed at Ocean Springs and
Dllo\l , confirming the Judgment of Dr. 0111-

and died. Dr Gulteras , Dr. Murray and all
participated In the autopsy declared ,
however , there was no question that the

Late this evening the three cases hcrcto-
'ore reported as existing at Blloxl were con-
Irmcd as jellow fevei1 by Drs Murray and ,
Gant , after a careful Investigation. They

of the town and establish quarantine.
TEN SUSPICIOUS CASES.
The Board of Health tonight officially an-
lounced that there are twelve suspicious
cases in one block down town. Under ordinary
circumstances these cases would not have
jeen deemed suspicious , but two weeks ago
a refugee fiom Ocean Springs died In that
vicinity and since then the fever has spread
here. None of the patients ha\e died , nor
arc- there any seriously ill. The board of
experts has been studying the cases several
days , but it has not been able to icach a
leflniic conclusion and It was finally de
cided to report the cases as subplclous , In
accordance with the board's pledge to keep
.he public fully In Its confidence. The
Hoard of Health has placed guards about
: ho square and ordered a sanitary Inspec
tion for five squares around. The = e twelve
: ases arc In one square in a row of six small
iious.es. In one of these houses a young
woman from Oc"ean Springs , who was vis
iting a family here , succumbed to the dis
ease. Her remains were bent to Ocean
Springs The attending physician had no
suspicion that bho had died of yellow fever.

LINCOLN , Sept. 9. ( Special. ) The Bee's
editorial on "Machine Made Fusion , " charg-
I Ing that the fusion conventions were stuffed
with state house otllclals and pay roll de
pendents ; In the Interest of the machine , has
ojcasloned , no little discussion among poll-
I Melons around the eapltol and hotels here.
' . The < general drift of the talk , even among
J I populists when they are free to express
their own sentiments , Is that the criticisms
ot ( the fusion ticket as machine-made arc en
tirely Justified by the facts. Two of the
clerks i In the auditor's ofllco got Into a dla-
I puto about the matter nnd finally agreed to
I test ; their differences by looking up the
j j records. Taking from the ollldal report of
I the convention proceedings n list of the of
ficers and committees , nnd attaching to each
his official designation and pay roll salary ,
the following very significant result was ob >
tallied. This , It must be remembered , docs
not take Into account the scores of salaried
! oilers , workers and clncquers who were called
i In ftfltn state Institutions , or served last
winter as paid legislative onhangeis , who
wcio all present In the Interest of the machine -

COLUMUUS , 0. , Scpl. 9. The gold demo
cratic state convention met at 10 a. in. In
the Great Sauthern thealer , with between 301)
and 400 persons present. Judge Heer of llu
cyrus was made chairman and afier a short
Introductory address stating Ihe tenets , of the
national democratic party , Introduced Hon. W
D. Byntim of Indiana , who spoke about two
hours on the money qucsllon. Letters were
read from Hon J. G. Carlisle and Hon. Henry
Wattcrson. Mr. Wattorson regtettcd thai he
could not mcpl Ihe Into democrats of Ohio. Ho
WBS laboring unceasingly and earnestly he said
for Ihe end llioy had In view. "If iho party
Is lo live Ihere must.be a restoration of dem-
ocrallc principles and the repudiation of mis
leading theories of finance. "In Kcntuckj , "
he said , "wo have niado a glorious beginning
and we have evciy leason to look for a glo
rlous result. "
lion. J. G. Carlisle sent a long letter say
Ing In effect that the democrats who had re
mained faithful to the true principled of
the party , as they were understood prior to
the revolutionary decimations ot 1B9C , should
picaervo their organizations , nominate can
dtdatcs and prosecute vigorous contents In
every state In the union. If we honestly
believe In the toctltudo nf the couiso we
have heretofore pursued II is our duly
loyal democrats und patriotic citizens to
maintain by all Iho means at our command
the independent and conservative position
wo now hold and to appeal to our old
political associates , who still entertain many
opinions on public questions In common with
us , to repudiate the now and dangerous
doctrines Inconsiderately proclaimed at Chicago
cage and St Louis , and return to the simple
and honest faith ot the father ! "
The letler closed with it-asons why popu-
llsl and republican doctilnes require opposi
tion by the democrats as they fought prior

Tlio falsified record of the Board of Flro
and Police Comml'sloners , paraded by the
gamblers' organ jestenHy , Indicates to
what lengths the men who have prostituted
the lire and police departments for political
IHII poses are going to cover up tholr trucks *
and evade the condemnation of tholr course. . .
The alleged record printed In the World-
Hciald was supplied by Dr. Peabody. It
Is a He on Its face , as any citizen may
discover who will take the trouble to ex
amine the genuine records of the board.
Not only docs no such rfcord e\lst aa
alleged , but the fact Is that Dr. Peabody
himself wrote the alleged copies of the
iccoid to suit his own purjioses , and at liH
lequoit Clerk \V. J. Welshans signed the
forgeries to give thorn plausibility. This
was done for the purpose of endeavoring to
delude people Into the b lief that .Mayor
Moorcs had assisted these political mounte
banks In theli rcpichcnsiblc mismanagement
kl
of the affairs committed to the conliol of the
tefoim police board.
The first forgery Is the alleged excerpt
from the record of August 5 , which In the
World-Herald reads as follows :

The third forgeiy Is even mom rank than
the others and plainly Indicates that It wai
written for the solo purpose of mUicpiesent-
IIIK the action of Majoi Moorcs on the ap
pointment of Slgwart as captain. It does not
beat the slightest resemblance to the true
ic < oul of the journal , by which It Is stamped
as nn absolute falcHliood. The journal entry
covering the train-action mentioned Is :
"On motion A. T Slgwait waH appointed
a special nfllccr with the pay of captain , lo
continue until fuithcr ordotx of the board ,
to date from September 1 , 1S97 , and to icpoit
to Chief of Police Gallagher on that day for
such duty ax m ly bo aselKiicd , "
