The Disabled Condition Of
Our Naval Dry Docks.

New York, Sept 80 "A special
meeting of the naval dock board was
held to day at tie Brooklyn navy
yard to consider the report as to the
disabled conditions OF ali but one of
the timber structures owned by tie
government A complete examina
ton by the engineers has revealed
the above startling information, and
the only exception is the timber dock
on Puget Sound AS the timber
docks practically do ali the work Of
the navy. the stone structures being
used for the smaller vessels, the de-
partment regards the existing condi-
tons with considerable apprehension,
and it will be the duty of the dock
boards to report on the subject and
suggest the best way for repairing
the docks None of the members of
the board would talk for publication
to day, but it is understood that an
estimate of the cost Of repairs, to-
gether with the recommendation to
proceed at once with the work, will be
forwarded Immediately to the depart
ment Commodore Bunce. the COM
mandant of the station, is president
of the board
Engineers have estimated that it
will cost at least $4,000 to put the
timber docks in condition, and the
dock board is expected to recommend
this money be spent on the structures
at New York, League Island, Norfolk
and Port Royal. There is separate
appropriation for dock No. at the
Brooklyn yard.

Record Breaking Day in
New Orleans.
SPREAD OVER CITY
Because O. Increased Area
Board of Health Finds Con
troll More Difficult.

New Orleans, Sept. 29-Tc. day
has been q record breaker in the mum
Der Of cases OF yellow fever reported.
while the deaths equal'ed III number
ti.ose oi any day since the yellow
fever vas first discovered in the city.
Various reasons asa given for the
spread Of tie disease, bu; TIE y.;nci
pal ones are two that the weather
turned wal.n agate a@d, OWING to the
much wider field to cover, .Ee board
Of health has had some difficulty in
getting every house IS closely guard
ed as was possible s.hen the cases
here We're few in nanher and tyainea
officials Of the board were stationed
about the ouarantined houses The
fact that the death rate has been
small and that the chances Of an cpl
demic have been constantly growing
less, have made The general public
somewhat careless and there has been
increasing friction between the quar-
antiHed people ana the authorities
Imprisoned inmates of houses have
been going over back fences and
sneaking out Of side doors in order
not to be confined, and the result has
been that more germs have been
scattered and rapidly developed in
three warm days In no other sea-
son have the authorities baen more
strict in quarantining houses and iso
lating inmates who might be around
the sick, and the result has been that
every possible effort is being made
by certain elements of the communi
ty to get the better of the board
The increasing number of cases here
has caused no general alarm, because
the increase of deaths has not been
in proportion The death rate is q
triAe under II per cent, when 3 or 6
days ago it was shown to be above
Is The conclusion, therefore, is
natural there is no increase in the
malignancy of the disease. The au
thorities here still believe that for
some time longer the new cases will!
occasionally exceed the number on
the books to day, but they are sing
ularly one in the opinion that the
disease cannot attain the proportions
of an endemic.
