THE YELLOW-FEvERs COURlsE.
The news from the infected regions,
on the 2Sd, was to the effect that the fever
was spreading in the country adjacent to the
cities suffering from the plague, and consid-
cradle uneasiness and alarm were created in
the minds of the people who had previously
reason to hope they might escape the con-
tagion. Particularly was this the case in the
smaller towns along the railroads leading out
of Memphis. The President of the Baptist
Relief Committee of Memphis had issued
circular to the Baptist friends through
out the Union, returning thanks for
the generous aid extended them,
and saying that they had enough of money
and supplies, but asking for continuance Of
pious sympathy. The deaths in Memphis
during the twenty-four hours ending at noon,
on the a2d, numbered sixty-four; in New Or
leans, forty; at Hickman, KY, four; at Cam
ton. Miss, six; Grand Junction, Tenn, three.
Fifteen new cases and five deaths
were reported at Holly Springs, Miss, on the
23d, and more physicians and nurses were
needed. The disease there was on the in.
crease. Additional help was also called for
from several other towns in Louisiana and
Mississippi.
Seven deaths occurred in Vickspurg,
on the 23d. The fever had decreased so
much there that physicians and nurses were
leaving for other points.
Over S3O0,OOO had been collected in
New York City, up to the 23d, for the yellow
fever sufferers. The amount in st. Louis was
over 10000 and in Chicago over $50, OOO. with
corresponding amounts in other cities and
towns.
The number of cases reported in
New Orleans, on the 23d, was 1874; deaths, for
ty-four. The total cases to that date were
1912, and deaths, ASIA. The disease was ev-
identity abating.
There was no abatement of the fever
at Canton, Miss, on the1g3d new cases, TWEEN
ty-three, and one death. A telegram from
Martin, Tenn, says the condition of affairs
in that town was ,deplorable, from the ali.
sence of any organized system of relief Sew.
eral citizens were down with the fever. Ten
new cases and four deaths were reported al
Hickman, KY.
The hope entertained by the surviv-
ing people Of Memphis, on the 22d, that
the fever in that city was abating was dis
PEELED by the reports on the 23d. A great de-
mand for nurses had again sprung up, and
the deaths for twenty-four hours ending al
six p. IN. numbered sixty-four. Cries of dis
tress continue to come in from the surround
