-FOUR MORE CASES AND ONE DEATH.
MEMPHIS, July A.-Four additional cases
were reporeed to the board of health this af-
ternoon; also one death, Walter Taylor, at the
corner of fernando and South streets. The
authorities are experiencing great trouble in
finding means of transportation to the site

cab railroad, refuses to furnish cars, fearing
the indignant citizeos will destroy the track.

jority of the colored people against being
forced out of the city or removed to camp. At

Am Intelligent Statement Of the Situation,
Chicago Tribune, July 23d.
Among the arrivals from Memphis was Mr.
Andrew J. Kellar, the editor of the Ayazanche
of that place, and one who, from his long resi-
dence in the South and his experience with pre-
vious cpidemics, is peculiarly qualified to give
an intelligent idea of the prospects for the
summer. Mr.. Kellar left Memphis Monday
the Grand Pacific, where they have been for
some days past.
On being asked for his opinion as to the charac-
ter and probable extent Of the present. visit of
the fever by a Tribune reporter with whom he
had a conversation last night, Mr.. Kellar said
.! have no opinion on this subject, and never
will have again, for the experience Of last year
broke up all former beliefs in regard to
yellow fever. You can't tell anything about
this disease, for experience amounts to but lit
tle."
But you can say whether it is yet cpl
Certainly it has not yet assumed the cpl
demic phase. The principle on which the ply
sicians in charge go is that it is epidemic only
when the deaths from yellow fever arc equal to
those from all other causes combined. That is
considered fair test, and it has not developed
to that extent as yet; when it does it may be
called an epidemic. This week is to be made
and tho
be telegraphed to the Sunday papers,. Gases
count nothing, and only the deaths are to be
considered.
'1s it the prevailing idea at present that
there will be
REPETITION OF THE SCENES OF 1892
We'll, opinions vary as to that. There arc
many reputable physicians who say that the
present attack is of much milder form than
that of last year. At the same time, it is a
recognized thing that the preliminary symp-
toms change much from year to year. The
fever in New Orleans in 1853 was much more
malignant than that of the following year,
and If we can judge from analogy such would
be the case this year; but. as I said BEFORE you
can't tell what to expect from the COMPOUNDED
thing, and hence we have no opinions. had
the fever in 1883 and must say that the pres
ent cases present much different symptoms;
but so did those of last year, for that matter"
is the present fever considered malignant
as regards the proportion of deaths to cases?''
Yes but this is always 80, for the first thir-
ty days of the yellow fever are always the most
to be dreaded. This has always been the ex-
perience. The fact that the fever has COM
menced one month earlier this year than last is
dangerous thing in estimating the probable
results. for it gives the scourge longer time to
run. unless the frost should be correspondingly

out Of 81, 900 people in the city, not more than
10000 are now left. By the end of the week,
when the camps are organized, and all who in

not be more than 10000 left in Mem phis. The

and the merchants have sent supplies to the
planters in the adjacent districts for three
months to come. The people have had a bitter
experience, and none who can get away will
stay in the city. The insurance offices are all
closed, and only two banks remain open, while
all but one hotel is or will be nailed up for the
summer. Business, in fact, is suspended, and
all supplies Tor those who remain must be sent
