The Yellow Fever Record In New Orleans
For Monday.
A New Orleans special says; From
the returns there is little hope in the
yellow fever situation. The board OF
health is daily demonstrating that with
n fair show it is possible for modern
science to restrict and stamp on. the
disease.
But the people who must suffer
from o strict application of scientific
methods rebel aud tho result is that
the pathway OF the board OF health is
beset with difficulties.
The official bulletin issued by the
board OF health Monday night was as
follows:
"Cases Of yellow fever, 40; deaths,
4; tota! cases of yellow TO date, 6l6;
total deaths from yellow fever to date,
65; total cases absolutely recovered,
257; total cases under treatment, 2oi."

The miners employed at tho coal

RAILROADS At WAR AGAIN.
THE SEABOARD AIRLINE INAUGU-
RATES THE BATTLE ROYAL.
PASSENGER RATES ARE REDUCED.
Road Determined to Meet All Cuts
That Nav BE Made ny
Competitors.

Once more the Seaboard Airline
and the combination of its big rivals
headed by the Southern railway, are
engaged in battle royal. Open war
has again been declared and the fight
will probably be one to the death.
The circular just issued by the Sea-
board announcing differential pas
senger tariff on through and local bus
mess and the reduction of 33 1-3 per
cent in fares contained therein is the
first shot in what may terminate in q
long continued struggle between the
associated railways which have refused
to haul the Seaboard through cars and
the Seaboard.
The rates are subject to change, and
this phrase, as defined by General
Passenger Agent Anderson, means
that the Seaboard will cut as often as
its lower rates are met by its competi-
tors in order to preserve the different
ial features.
When questioned concerning the
possibility of interference by the
United States courts, as has been the
case in former rate wars, Mr. Ander-
son said;
"This road is proceeding upCA IL
ferent lines from those adopted previ-
ously, when cuts were merely made
without any reason being given. We
are proceeding upon logical grounds
and have adopted the difi'erential rates
rs our weapon, as the northern and
western roads in an ondeavor to equal
ize rates, have done long since. The
new rates 60 into effect October 25th
and have already been filed with the
interstate commerce commission.
During the past three or four years
the Seaboard Airline has made many
and frequent efforts to secure for itself
and the public the same through
sleeping car service enjoyed by its
competitors-to say nothing Of their
solid train service-between New York
and Atlanta and New York and New
Orleans, but requests for such equal
facilities between these points has In
every in stance been met with decii
nation by connections, who have giver
as cause for such refusal first one
reason and then another, majority Of
which has been TO an extent unsatis,
factory.
''The Seaboard, therefore, and in
view of such continued discrimination
against its interests and the interests
Of its patrons, has determined, for the
purpose Of equalizing to an extent
disadvantages under which ii operates
its fast mail and express trains ia
adopt similar action to that taken by
trunk lines between New York and
Chicago, ST. Ions, Cincinnati and
other cities, which action is recognized
10y the trunk line association as being
proper and right where disadvantages
exist"

Dloxhnun's Answer.

Recently the New York Herald sent
the following message to Governor
Bloxham; "In view Of the existing in
yasion Of yellow fever, will you kindly
wire The Herald your views on the
proposition TO establish national
quarantine To supersede the present
state quarantine and have full control
Of all functions now discharged 10y tho
latter organization"
Governor Bloxham wired the follow
ing reply; "Since the establishment Of
our state board Of health In 1899 it has
had exclusive control of our quaran-
tine. The results have been so salts
factory that public sentiment strongly
sustains the board in the exercise OF
this important function"
Floridas board OF health has been
operating nearly nine years, and not
single case Of yellow fever has APP
peared in the state since its organiza-
ton. On the other hand, two epi-
denies Of yellow fever have occurred
in the south. At Brunswick, Ga, a
few years ago, Yellow Jack gained a
foothold, aud the quarantine was in
charge of the United States officials.
The present epidemic is said to have
been caused by infection from Ship
Island, government quarantine sta
ton. Contrasting the records OF the
state and United States quarantine, rs
regards efficiency, the facts sustain
the governors attitude on this subject
Florida has established quarantine
stations and built fumigating plants,
ut O cost of nearly $500, 900, and IL Is
thought that within year or two the
receipts from them will make the state
board Of health self-supporting.

FLORIDA IN BRIEF.

The National Surety company, OF
New York, with a paid.up capital OF
$500, 900, has entered Florida for bus
mess.
The Tampa Times says; "The OPP
ponents aud critics OF the Florida
state board OF health have been totally
disarmed. The record Of the board
has been without flaw since its estab'
lishment, but this year u has had the
opportunity to prove its efficiency more
conspicuously than ever before. II
has saved the state more during the
last sixty years than 1t will cost to
maintain the board for the next tifty
years"
There is q movement on foot 20 seek
an appropriation from congress for
cleaning ont the Ocklockonee river up
10 the iron bridge, q distance Of near
ly $50 miles. With the stream in its
present condition, piled by small
steamers, the naval stores business on
the river aggregated $3.50, 1000 the past
year. With the expenditure OF few
thousand dollars ON the river the de-
vclopment of tho country would
greatly augment traffic on the stream.
The New York Mail and Express
says: "Florida is about to enjoy her
share of the prosperity that has blessed
tho fields Of other states. Her orange
crop will soon begin to find its way
northward. The disastrous frost of
two years ago destroyed many groves,
but the indications arc that this win
