 Montgomery, Nov. 1S.-No new cases of yellow fever were reported today, and as only fiva have been reported dun.ng the week, tine board rsso Ted to do away in future with the daily sessions and only meet subject to the call of the chairman The boarl still refrains, row tver. from advising refugees to return fer awhile.
 Governor Johnston reached the city this morning from Birri gham, and spent the day i'm his office. A good many Montgomerians called upon him during the morning to assure him that nobody here but his political enMi:s had con- s.dered that 1t was his dtfty t1 remain alere and nurse tEe sick rather tbhan re- move during the epid mic, to Birmirg- ham, where the states business could be mere advantageou-ly conducted
 State Health Officer Sanders arll Dr. J. B. Gaston, of tIha stal.e board of health, met with the governor today and discussed the quesion of sill fmthsr modifying the state qrarantine Their deliberations and the opinion they had arrivad at were wired, to the other mem- bens eff the state beard of heal.Ih for their endorsement or their refusal to endorse. ard if a majority acquiegce in tine opinion of those members present, the ondsr to further modify will be pro- mu1gated.
 Although it has not been officially an- nourced, 1t is known that the corfers nce fin the governors office today racom- mended the removal of all quarantine against mails and freights, ard the re- moval of the quarantine as to passan- gers and baggage a,s faa as poin.s north of a line drawn east and west acrors the state through Greenv.Ee, are concern9d. This would exempt all excepting the south=rn one-fourth of the state. It ts known that Mobile's beard of hesltn does net favor the removal of the quar- antine as far as that city is concerned. because the members do not desire to encourage refugees to return there as long as eases of fever continue to de- velop. They consider that for any con. siderable number of refugees to return befors a kiltrg frost, would only be addoing fuel to the fire. es
 Governor Johnston said today that if the state board advised him to remove
 
 would issue the proclamation to talk ef- feet on Monday, so as to give sueh towns and communities as desired, an opportunity to establish local quaran- tines.
 Governor Johnston left at D. m. for Birmingham, to spend Sunday with his family.
 The following is the resolution adopted by the local board of health today:
 The board of health respectfully cx,- nounIces that this will be it's last daily bulletin, as it sees no further necessity for them. The beard of health fst.of tine opinion that tn. existence of yellow fever in this city Is at an end.
