The distress from destitution multiplies
each hour. Prominent Howard physi-
clans state that they do not report one
fourth of the cases for lack of time.
They estimate that 10000 persons are
down with the fever.
Another experiment with ice has been
made-different from Choppen's, with
| marked success in its results. A young
sister of one of the inspectors OF the port
was in q cometnse condition night before
last. congestion of the kidneys having
supervened. Ice was freely applied over
the kidneys, and to the wrists and feet.
In short time the congestion was re-
moved, consciousness restored, and this
evening she was pronounced out of i'm
mediate danger.
Tho medical and spiritual authorities
came into conflict to-day in the following
manner: Rev. Father Allen, canon Of
st. Patrick's Cathedral, went to visit q
lady penitent, who was in an exceedingly
critical condition. The physician in
charge, who was IN the house at the time,
refused him admission, stating that it
would endanger the patients life. The
priest insisted. but to no avail. He
finally applied to the chief of police for
assistance to enable him to make forci.
BILE entrance. but was peremptorily re-
authority was supreme in such cases.
Father Allen then threatened to deEounce
all parties concerned from the pulpit.
The affair created no little excitement.
Special dispatches to the Times report
1000 cases at Vicksburg, 500 at Port
Gibson, and numerous local cases at Hol-
ly Springs, at which place there is now
a panic. The situation here is hourly
growing worse, and spirit of general
uneasiness is for the first time prevalent.
Memphis, Sept. 3.-The atmosphere
is heavy with the stencil of dead bodies.
Several corpses wers found to-day, and
no one was able to tell where or how they
died. 1t is impossible to describe the
condition of aiiairs here. Four dead
| men we're found in the streets before
| noon to-day in different pafts of this
city. There is some improvement in tho
movements of the undertakers ainco the
| citizens, relief burial corps have taken
matters in hand, and to-day the numbef
| of interments was larger than on any
previous day. The number of new cases
and deaths to-day are considerably less.
Destitute and want arc on the increase.
White persons, whc cannot stand all day
| in the c!amorous crowd of negroes that
throng the delivery windows of the sup.
| ply depots, are suffering for provisions.
Hundreds who have sick families cannot
leave them long enough to procure food,
and 1t is next to impossible to get any
one to attend to their wants. Postmaster
r. a. Thompson, who was also hall
owner of the AtdIdhche, died this even
! ing. The first Chinese victim of TIE
! yellow fever, perhaps, in the United
States was taken down here to-day. He
was attended by DR.. Wow Chin Foo,

cases. His frat victim died under his
peculiar treatment. The dead lody oi
