SPREAD OF THE PLAGUE
Seven Cases Of Yellow Jack
in New Orleans.
Several Other Suspicious Cases Reported
Authorities Take Prompt Steps to
Isolate the Sufferers.

Isolate the Sufferers.
New Orleans, Sept. 14.-Shortly be-
fore noon today, the board of health
officially declared six of the suspicious
cases of fever on st. Claude street to
be yellow fever. Two hours subse-
quently, the board announced another
pronounced case of yellow fever at Miro
and Esplanade streets, in the lower
part of the city, mile or more away
from the infected square.
The announcement of the six cases of
yellow fever was not unexpected, al
though it was hoped from the delay on
were simply of bilious malaria. No
general alarm was felt here. although
the news rapidly spread through the
city. The authorities do not believe
that the situation is materially worse
than it was four or five days ago, and
they are still confident of their ability,
with modern sanitary appliances, sue
cessfully to quarantine the infected dis
tricts
The official bulletin of the board of
experts, declaring the St. Claude-street
cases to be yellow fever, was received
by President Oliphant soon after IL
O'Clock. DIR. Oliphant Immediately
sent for members of the press and gave
out the report, which was signed by
Drs. Lemonioe, Touatre, Bickham,
Petit and Parham, of the board of ex-
perts, and DR.. Devron, the attending
physician. The report was as follows:
"We, the undersigned physicians,
who, from time to time, have exam
ined the l2 cases of fever On St. Claude
street, find six to be yellow fever, four
of whom are convalescent. There are
no other cases."
OF the 12 original cases, all of which
had their origin from case that had
come from Ocean Springs, the six,
other than those reported today as yel
low fever, were announced this after
noon to be practically we'll, UP and
walking about their homes. OF the six
pronounced yellow fever, four are con-
valescent, and two were declared to be
critically i'll, one of these having suf-
fered relapse since yesterday.
Among the suspicious cases reported
yesterday was that aof boy named
Roy, living at Miro and Esplanade
streets. Three doctors were sent to
make careful observation of the case.
This afternoon, they pronounced it to
be unquestionably yellow fever, and as
having apparently had its origin in
Scranton, Miss, or in the vicinity of
that town.
- soon as the report was received,
the board of health took charge of the
house, quarantined the inmates, placed
guards SO that no one might come in
close proximity to the premises, and
set to work to thoroughly disinfect the
neighborhood. A brother of the pa
tient, who had left the premises some
time before the official announcement,
was given a permit to return, but Or
ders were issued under no circum-
stances to let him or any member OF
the household again leave the premises.

Hurricane in Texas.

St. Louis, No., Sept. ia special
to the Post-Dispatch from Houston,
Tex says information has just been
received there that severe hurricane
visited the towns of Port Arthur and
Sabine Pass last night and blew down
all the buildings and killed many peo-
pie. The storm which led to the de-
struction of the towns blew up about 6
O'Clock, and by midnight was SO fierce
as to produce tidal wave all along the
coast, completely wiping out both
places. Eight persons are known to
have beef killed and 40 wounded.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Two electric cars
on the Suburban electric railway collid-
ed while running at full speed along a
stretch of single track on Harlem ave-
nue., south of Harrison street, in La
grange, this morning.
The accident happened just before
O'Clock, when the traffic was heavy and
nearly all the passengers with which
both cars were crowded were injured.
Motormen ]. Murphy and John Jami-
son will die.
On account of a heavy mist which
hung over the tracks, the motorman of
the south bound car, which was to have
passed the north bound car where
double track ends, failed to notice that
he had left the double track. Before
he could reverse and run back. the
north bound car came up and collided
with terrific force.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing Hopkins q Company's Review
of Trade.

The leading feature of the market
subsidence of the speculation that in
part caused the marked and Sudden ad-
vance in values. The market is now
once more upon plane of action where
supplies and demand can be expected
to exert the controlling influences.
The forward movement of the winter
wheat crop has been fairly large and is
now about to be supplemented by in
creasing receipts of spring wheat. Up
to the present time export clearances
have been sufficiently large not only to
prevent any increase, but to cause de-
crease, in available stocks that were al
ready reduced almost to depletion. The
advanced values have checked export
sales, and we may, with the larger re-
ceipts in the near future, look for in
creasing stocks at centers of accumula-
ton. So, while the general situation
remains as strong as ever, the advance
appears over for the time being, or at
least until the foreigners again become
large buyers of wheat.
In corn the week has resulted in some
marked changes. A large crop is no
longer anticipated by anyone, and the
only question is how small it may
prove. We are justified, from all the
information obtainable, in claiming
that the early planted cora promises
we'll and is practically beyond damage
from frost. The planted corn is in an
entirely different position. Under the
most favorable weather conditions it
can make nothing but nubbins and fod-
der. The final result promises not
more than two-thirds of crop, and
frost within the next two weeks might
further reduce the yield.
The advanced values for wheat have
attracted speculation to corn and re-
suited in some improvement in values.
A still further advance would have
taken place had it not been for the
enormous receipts of corn sold to arrive
before the extent of damage to growing
crop had become known. Since then
farmers have ceased selling freely and
receipts next week promise to be much
smaller. The market, relieved of the
selling pressure forN country account,
supported by an excellent cash demand,
promises, with the aid of the increas-
ing speculative support, to advance still
further. -

HAwAil'S PART DONE.
Treaty Probably Ratified
at Honolulu.

Annexation Treaty Probably Ratified
at Honolulu.
New York, Sept. ia special to
the Herald from Washington says: The
senate of the national legislature of the
republic of Hawaii has by this time
ratified the treaty Of annexation of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States.
This assertion was made to your corre-
spondent by Mr.. Lorin M. Thurston,
charge d'affaires to the United States.
Mr.. Thurston said that the senate of
the Hawaiian legislature had been
called to assemble on September 8, and
that it is unanimous for annexation.
He has no doubt that it has ratified the
convention without dissenting vote.
Both the senate and house of the
Hawaiian legislature are pledged to an
nexation, according to Mr.. Thurston.
Just before the adjournment OF the two
houses last year, joint resolution was
adopted declaring it to be the sense of
the legislature that the interests of Ha
waii demanded her annexation to the
United States. This resolution was
adopted unanimously. AS the COM
plexion of the senate and house has not
changed since the adoption of the reso-
luton, Mr.. Thurston has no doubt that,
so far as Hawaii is concerned, all the
steps possible have been taken.
1t is believed in administration cir
cles that the effect of the ratification of
the treaty by the Hawaiian senate
will be to influence some Of the mem
bers of the United States senate now
in the doubtful column to vote for the
convention next session. All that is
now necessary is the approval of that
body, and it is not believed that many
members will be willing to shoulder
the responsibility of defeating annexa-
titon and thus throw Hawaii into the
hands of Japan.
The authorities would naturally be
pleased to have the controversy pend
ing between Hawaii and Japan settled,
because such settlement would tend to
remove any objection which might be
entertained by senators to bring into
the United States a nation which has
diplomatic differences with any coun-
try. 1t is their opinion, however, that
the matter will not be adjudicated
until after annexation is accomplished.
New York Wants the Grant Relics.
New York, Sept. IA proposition
has been made to obtain from the fed
eral government the collection of Grant
relics presented to the National mu-
scum by Mrs. Grant, and deposit them
in the large room in the northeast cor
ner of the mausoleum. Architect John
H. Duncan intended the room for
Grant relics, but everything which
would appeal to visitors as having been
owned by the general at some time in
his career is in the National museum
at Washington.
Before Genearl Porter sailed for
France Mr.. Duncan discussed with him
the possibility of the government relin-
gushing the mementos, but nothing
has been done.
Mr.. Duncan said.
cit was ordered to hold meeting
recently, but there are not enough
members in town to hold it. Of course
the work is practically completed. 1t
would be good thing to have the
mementos as Riverside, but I know of
nothing at this time to warrant the
hope that they will be brought here"

#. NJ. Lane Has Secured the Two Children
Who Were Stolen.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ. Lane have re-
turned from trip to Dalton, Ga, where
they went to look at a tract of 800 acres
OF land. which Mr.. Lane recently traded
for. They brought back fresh flowers
from the battle field of Resecca and the
vicinity of Snake Creek Gap, where
General Sherman defeated Joe Johnston
on a memora BILE occa sion. Incidentally,
Mr.. Lane brought back Gordon Hills
two little girls who were abducted by
their mother some months ago. 1t seems
that the eX-Mrs. Hill married a man
from East Tennessee, and last summer
after they had all landed in their new
home, the mother of the children died
suddenly. Mr.. Hill learning of his child
ren being left in a strange land, en-
trusted Mr.. Lane with the duty OF Wis
