PASSENGER MEETING.
Changes in Bureau Management
Considered by the Roads.

CHICAGO, Oct. PA meeting of the
executive committee of the Western
Passenger association was held today
for the purpose of considering some
changes in the management of the
bureau and in the passenger agree
ment for 1898. The changes that were
under consideration were not impOr-
tant, but it was considered desirable
to have them settled before the meet
ing with the representatives of the
Union Pacific, which will probably be
held on Wednesday or Thursday of
this week. The association roads are
very hopeful that at this meeting the
long standing troubles that have huns
over all business going through the
Ogden gateway will be settled. 1t is
also thought that the meeting will
result in an agreement to withdraw all
commissions and to maintain rates

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 25.-Three
new cases of yellow fever were report
ed by the board of health tonight, and
two deaths occurred in the early morn
ing from the disease. The dead are:
Miss Goldie Cohen, Marcus Cohen.
Three cases were reported from the
Cohen residence last night, but not un-
til today was it known that the pa
tients there were so seriously i'll. ia
cob Cohen is in a critical condition to-
night, and his death is hourly expect
ed. All the cases reported today are
traceable to the vicinity of the orig
inal case in the southern part of the
city About 500 people left town to-
night for northern points.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 25.-Nu-
merically this has been the worst day
yet of the fever situation here. AS
early as 7 o'clock this evening the
score of the board of health showed
total of fifty-two new cases, and there
had been deaths to the number Of
eleven. Heretofore the highest num-
her of deaths in a single day has been
nine Unfortunately there continues to
be concealment of cases; fatalities oc-
cur because medical attention is not
called in, and the masses for the time
being are in a revolutionary mood be-
cause of the enforcement of the system
of house quarantine and are resorting
to every means in their power to put
obstacles in the way of the constituted
authorities 1t is generally agreed here
that the house quarantine is not ac-
complishing the results expected. When
the fever first broke out efficient guards
were placed about buildings in the
hope that the foci might be restricted,
but today there is no quarter of the
city that has not reported cases, and
the germs are being spread, as has
heretofore been shown in these dis
patches, by reason of the fact that in
mates of infected houses have been
successful by means Of rear exits in
eluding the vigilance of the guards sta
toned in front Of the premises by the
authorities.
President Olliphant and other Of
ficers Of the board of health were very
much disappointed this evening at the
mortality showing Of the days record,
but they said at least some Of the fatal
cases were to be traced to an indispo-
sitien on the part of many people to let
it be known that serious cases of
fever existed.
