New orleans, Sept. 2S.-The yellow fever
.,,,ati7n here continues exasperatingiy the
same The daily average of IS to 20 cases
and two deaths has kept up. But while
tbero is no sign of an epidemical visitation,
.be slow progress of the disease puts OBJ
st,cIas daily in the way of the merchant
rnblic who are anxious to again resume
trade with the surrounding country.
The record to-day was not unlike that
If many other days, in that it showed
death of the patient through his own
sheer neglect. The facts are incontroverti-
ble that at least half died through neglect
or lack of attention.
Business is showing feeble signs of re-
viyal and the railroads are putting for
ward superhuman efforts to secure mod
idcation of the quarantine regulations
DR. Oniphant's trip up the road tomorrow
at the invitation of the Southern Pacific
Company with a view to securing a modi-
feation of existing quarantines will settle
one way or another whether or not trade
IS to stagnate for several weeks longer or
whether it is partially to be resumed at
once. The trip will also settle the ques-
ton whether or not New Orleans will raise
the bar against Galveston and other Texas
poins In the meantime, the Crescent City
finds itse.f incapable of shipping a pound
Of freight to the Lone Star state. The
result of this, of course, is the throwing
out of employment of thousands of people
here
The railroads, the manufactures, the big
wholesale and retail stores, have all dis
pensed with the service of many of their
employees until business again picks up
Now that the force of the senseless shot
gun quarantine is being felt, the theaters
more than ever, are a thermometer of the
injury that is being done in the city. The
hotels have done away with extra help
and have cut off many of their hands, and
every man, woman and child is living with
rigid economy.
The condition of affairs is due entirely
to the strict shotgun quarantines that has
been established in the country when there
is no possible chance of an epidemic here.
Il is probable that some ten thousand peo-
pie have left town. but there are etill here
not fewer than 275 900, and even those who
were frightened a fortnight ago have
come to realize that there is no possible
chance for an epidemic, In September,
1878 there were between eighty and ninety
people dying of yellow fever daily. To-
day the daily average since the beginning
of the fever here is hardly l per cent.
This was the record to-day:
