Two Deaths and Several New Gases
of Fever Reported Today.
new ORLEANS has ESQ Cases NOW
Forty Gases Discharged Cured
During Past Twenty-Four Hours.
PREJUDICE AGAINST FLAGS

NEW ORLEANS. October 9.-The board
of health at 1 O'Clock today announced
seventeen new cases and two deaths were
reported up to that hour.
Considerable opposition has been aroused
against the proposition to have Governor
Foster give $4,000 for the of the board
of health. 1t is held that with an abund-
alce of money to pay to the guards the
excitement here will be kept up. least
forty cases have been discharged within
the past twenty-four hours, reducing the
number of cases under treatment to lit
tie over $50.
The board of health last night decided to
modify quarantine regulations to
permit families to get out of their homes
when they have no yellow fever. The board
also decided to quarantine Pass Christian.
where a number of cases of the fever have
been reported.
There is much kicking against the putting
up of the flags in front of the houses
where infection exists. The flags, it is
asserted. have tendency to brighten peo-
pie and to exaggerate the situation here.
DIR. GeddingS, who was at Jacksonville
for some time, has arrived here, and will.
with other members of the marine hospital
service, proceed with meteorological inveS-
legations. Tie marine hospital service has
established a camp at Avondale to facii
tate the movement of laborers into the
sugar districts
The authorities here say that they have
received assurances that number of the
parishes of Louisiana will modify their
quarantine regulations, so that freight can
be kept moving.

MRS. LANGTRY WILL NOT WED.
Prefers Her Horses to the Prince
Estcrhazy.

Estcrhazy.
A speciai to the Philadelphia Press from
London says: Mrs Langtry, the Jersey
Lily, Is out in statement, fatty contra
dieting the report that she is to be married
to Prince Esterhazy. Her horses, 1t seems,
are filling a larger place in her affections.
All London were beginning to believe the
rumor. The gossips had settled in their
minds that her American divorce would
not be barrier in law to the union, and
they had even figured that the titled sutton
was content to ignore the fact that the
Catholic Church, to which he belongs,
does not recognize divorces. So it came to
be expected that the wedding would occur
shortly.

MORRIS ! R | Good WORK TX
] 9 I Doughty Congressman Hustled
HE Department and Gets a
Favorable Decision.
Milie Laos Homesteaders Have Their
Rights Recognized by the Au=
thorities in Washington.

|. hshington, Dec: 1.-THE secretary
of the interior to-day rendered de-
eisiopEof great Importance to settlers
suponthe Mile Laos Indian reservation.
and the result was brought about
through the efforts Of Congressman
Norris. !, o..
s. A large number of settlers on the
reservation betw cen j an 9, 1891, and
the early part Of May, 1892, made fill
ings and entries on these lands under. a
ruling of the department. that lands in
that reservation were subject to dis
posaAthe same as other public lands.
In May, 1892, this ruling was reversed,
and the depart ment issued instructions
to the local, land office that no entries
should be made except under the act
of JAN. Il, 1889, which required the
payment:o S1.25 per acre in addition.
to the necessary fees, and also post
poned consideration of all prior filings
and entries. *'.E.**- {. y ~ r.
Subsequent to that time, in 1898,
joint solution was passed in ongress
in reference to this matter. After Mr..
Morris had gone over the whole sub
ject be became convinced that the joint
resolution of 1898 covered the situation
as to the settlers making entries prior
to Maya 1892.
A test case was pending in the in
terror department and Congressman
Morris fled a brief with the assistant
attorney general contending that the
joint resolution of 1893 covered the
case. At his request it was made
special in order that it might be de-
cided in time to secure congressional
action at this session if necessary.
The secretary sustains Mr.. Norris
contention and decides that large
number of claimants on the reservation
will not be required to pay the addi-
tional; Ssl.25 an acre for their. lands.
a very fortunate one
for the settlers, for if it had been ne
cessary to secure congressional legis-
lation for their relief a long time
would have elapsed even if such legis-
lation could have been secured at all.

From Cincinnati this pernicious item
