PrecAu,sons AyaImst yellow jack.

WASHINGTON, August 17th.-
There is no longer any conceal.
msnt Of the apprehensions felt here
by officials and private persons at
the rapid advance of yellow fever.
Effect has been given to these APP
prehensions in Norfolk, Va, by
the determination of the health
authorities there, last evening, to
establish q most rigid quarantine
against all infected districts. The
officers of the railroads connecting
with that city have accordingly
been notified that neither baggage
nor passengers from Memphis or
any infected locality will be per-
mILted to enter Norfolk or Ports
mouth. The strihgeucy of the
harbor quarantine has also been
greatly Increased and steps are
now being taken TO clean the city.
In Baltimore, while no change has
been made with respect to the
quarantine, the city is being thor
Oughly cleaned and disinfectod,
and the most careful precautionary
measures are being taken to pre-.
vent the appearance OF tue plague.
The weather for number of weeks
has been particularly favorable for
the approach Of the diseaae, owing
to the almost iucessant rainfall
and muggy atm sphere. The fact
that schooner's crew coming
from Cuba lies dead aud dying at
the breakwa,er, near Cape May,
Increases the alarm.

CHICAGO, August 17tb.-The
Times says the officers and agents
of the st. Crispin Society say that
nearly all the men are getting
some work aud that the Society
will see them through until the
manufacturers acceds to the de.
manjs made. That q number OF
men are working is fact, but 1t is
not SO clear where they get the
work from. 1t is said that work
has been found for nearly all the
men up to within loo or so. The
men are not particularly buVyant
or hopeful at the outlook aud q
number have sought work in other
cities and more are going to leave.
They are glad to accept work iD

themselves as tired of the perpetu.
al wraLgling which, for some time
past, has been going on between
the operatives and bosses. Some of
the manufacturers are going to
give up handmade work for the
present at any rate and send ont
machine made work, stamping it
as machine made. Some of the
manufacturers said yesterday that
they should wait until the men all
got work before they took any de-
cisive steps. If the men get work
or leave the city the manufacturers
say they will hold u meeting of the
Association and then adopt q plan
which will, in their judgment, pre-
vent the occurrence of any more
protracted strikes. Upon being
asked what they would do, they
did not hesitate to cay they should
not give up to the demands Of the
Union, but should bring on Chi
nese to work permanently in their
shops. They say they do not want
8 row here and say IL will not do to
precipitats one while these men
are employed In the city, but as
soon as they leave, they propose to
bring Chinese and keep them here,
