The Disease More Malignant mt III
loxI-The Situation Elsewhere.

Of the New orleans Board or lraue, re-
earding the governments plans for check
ing the spread Of yellow-fever:
your telegram OF the Soth TO the Presi-
6ent. transmitting resolutions, has been |
referred TO this department for reply.
Tho Federal authorities are In con-
slant communication by telegraph with |
STATE boards Of health and supeiintendents |
OF the railway mail service, and every |
POSSIBLE effort is being made TO so dis
infect all mails and mail clerks that local
quarantine regulations may be raised at
All points as against New orleans. YES
terday september S0th) many points In
Texas we're quarantined against Houston.
To-day nearly every local quarantine
AGAINST that city has been raised through
the Efforts Of this department.
we propose now TO establish disin-
secting camps outside Of New Orleans on
every railway. and TO meet all mails to
and from New Orleans at these camps
70, allowing either'cars or clerks to pro-
csed beyond. These. or such other resu-
laHons as we may secure. win no doubt
.r.stIv relieve the situation. We must
not forget that the public health tran
sends even tho greatest commercial IN
,e-es,s. This department desires to con-
serve both. and TO allay fear OF the con-
,oaious diseases spreading.
