by rain. During the first part Of the week
It was cold and ice had formed all around
On Thursday a change came and Thurs
day night and Friday morning there was
warm rain. accompanied by chinook
wind. which thawed out everything. The
rain came down in torrents, being the
worst storm Of the year for that sec
tion. and continued all Friday and Sat-
uriay forenoon. About noon Saturday the
slide came, striking the Dyea trail al
Sheep camp. Just what caused II could
not be told, but there came a slide OF
earth and rocks and water that carried
all in It's path. Sheep camp was in the
path of the food and II was literally
wiped out OF existence. Fortunately.
there were not many people there on
that day. compared with the number
usually at the camp This is where the
loss Of life occurred. Everybody left
their outfits and baggage behind and fed
for life. Some were caught in the deluge
Just how many may never be known, but
or ghteen were missing altogether. Two
Of them were a man and his wife, named
Crockett, believe. who were running a
restaurant at Sheep camp. Four o. five
other missing men were Indian packers,

1900 with him. and was just starting
out for Dyea when the slide came. There
is great excitement along the trail and
at Dyea and Skaguay over the report
of the big slide, and 1t was finally re-
ported that fifty persons had been killed.

IL being confined 20 localities. Thus
far there have been a few cases less
than 100 cases, and Is deaths. The death
rate Is in the neighborhood Of Il pea
cent.
One OF the sensations OF the day was
the announcement THAT the board of
health had decided 10 prosecute DR.. Mon
luzis for falling TO report a case Of sus-
piclous fever. Today DR.. Monluzis re-
ported 20 the board Of health the case
OF Miss Dreyfus, who. he said. was suf-
fering from yellow fever II was not
long before this report was received that
the board had a report Of the death or
Miss Dreyfus. An investigation proved
that Miss Dreyfus had taken sick six
days ago. and that DR.. Monluzis had
failed even to report the case as suSpi-
cious.
There were nine new cases today ana
three deaths. OF the % odd cases in New
Orleans. but four have been among the
negro population.
The situation is generally unchanged.
Freight is moving slowly and there is
practically no passenger traffic. The
theatres are still open and amusements
are not restrained. But that New Or
leans is losing hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars by foolish quarantines is not
to be doubted. The ordering by the
Southern Pacific Company of the steamer
Elnorte from New York to Galveston
means that all eastern freights destined
for the Pacific coast will go through the
Texas port until the quarantine embargo
against this city Is raised.

The death of Admiral John L.
Worden, which occurred in Wash
ington Monday, brings to mind a ro-
mantle and thrilling incident of the
late civil war. 1t was Admiral Wor-
den who commanded the Monitor in
her famous fight with the Confeder-
ate ram Merrimac IN Hampton Roads
March 8, 1862. No single occur
renee of the war thrilled the people
as did the outcome of this singular
contest. Every schoolboy knows
the story, how the creation of Eric
sons brain withstood the terrific on
slaughts of the Confederate Merrimac
and saved the capitol from impend-
ing danger. Worden was one of the
fourteen heroes who made the United
States navy great by their achieve
ments, none of which were greater in
point of interest than the victory of
the little Monitor on that memorable
March day. The art of naval con-
struction was changed from that
time on, and the Monitor type be
came a recognized feature in all
naval construction. The doughty
little vessel, which Worden COM
manded, found its resting place be-
