Danger Of Forest Fires.

S0UQST OF VueSs
Bangor News)
Unless all signs fail. Forest Commits
sioner Ring will have chance to test
the efficiency of his new fire wardens
before snow flies. This has not been a
dry season. Indeed, it was cold and
wet clear up to July, discouraging
those who had planted corn and beans,
but making the hay-grOwers rejoice.
But the Intense heats of mid-July. fol-
lowed by the disagreeable heats of
August, have reduced the streams and
lowered the wells. SO that the rains
which have come from time to time
were unable to supply the demand for
water. The woods are as dry as tim
der. 1t is not yet time to look for
great danger, as the under layer of
leaves and fallen spills in the woods is
yet damp, but no risks that are not
called for urgently should be taken 1t
is very much easier to prevent forest
fire by precautions than it is to put one
out after 1t is underway. Maine has q
vast area of cumberland to protect. 1t
is scattered widely. The force of men
employed is insufficient to give any
guarantee. All that can be done is to
POST warnings conspicuously and trust
to luck. Maine has been very fortu-
rate thus far. May it's streak of luck
continue. Our forests are among our
most valuable possessions. This fact
does not appear on the books of the
State assessors. but it is very evident
to any one who wishes to buy wild
timberlan6s. Mr.. Ring is a capable
man. He has done great work in the
Fast. and is capable of doing good work
in the future. His policy Of striving to
pTeevnt the kindling of fires is the best
enc to pursue. For the next six weeks
the danger will be imminent 1t IS
hoped that the measures adopted by
Mr.. Ring will prove adequate to meet

the Love bill taxing them per cent OF
their gross earnings. District Judge
Victor l.. Brooks Monday afternoon
refused the injunction and sustained
the law in toto He was not decided
as to how much of the tax is due, but
will hear evidence as to that feature
and then determine it.
Of course the case will be appealed
to the higher courts. first the Third
Appellate Court and then the Supreme
Court. If the railroads should lose
in the Texas Supreme Court, the rail
roads have announced that the case
will be taken to the Supreme Court Of
the United States for final determina-
ton. Upon conclusion Of argument
Judge Brooks gave the decision ad.

FEAR NO SPREAD
THE NEW ORLEANS AUTHORITIES
MASTERS OF SITUATION.
SUSPECTS WILL Be BARRED
Suspects VIII No Longer Be lnclud'
ed in the yellow Fever
Reports.

New Orleans, Oct. 17,-Report at
p. m. yesterday:
New cases, Is.
Total cases TO date, $500.
Deaths, 3.
Total deaths to date, 4S4.
New FOci, 4.
Cases under treatment, 1879.
Cases discharged, 2,15G.
Believing that yellow fever in New
Orleans is now absolutely under con-
troll and that there is no longer any
reason to fear further spread of the
disease, DR.. White, representing the
Marine Hospital Service, considers
that hereafter the inclusion of cases
other than yellow fever in the official
record ought to be avoided for the
sake of the truth of the records. At
the same time he believes that not a
single actual case should be suppress
ed. Accordingly, Dr.. White has writ.
ten the following letter to President
Leboenf of the Orleans Medical Soci-
ETY.:
My Dear Doctor: | would be very
glad if you will make a request of the
society to do something which | be-
lieve to be now necessary in order that
the city may get even handed justice
from the outside, and that is, that all
physicians having any doubts in their
mind about the diagnosis Of cases Of
fever be requested to call upon some
member of the board Of experts, the
diagnosis of which board, or any men,
Der thereof. will be unqualifedly &C.
cepted by this office, and in this man
ner provide in each case an exact d.
agn0sis, SO that hereafter the number
of cases may be neither more nor less
than the exact number occurring in
the city. We don't wish to either in
crease or decrease the showing in any
manner not in absolute accord with
the facts, but feel that now we have
reached the period when the question
of suspicious cases may be done away
with"
The committee Of the medical socie-
ty has cordially endorsed the sugges-
ton of DR.. White, which has been
made in view of the rapid decline of
the number of cases during the past
two weeks.
The record of cases yesterday was
again a low one, and that of deaths
gave general satisfaction to the au-
thorities. The fact that only eight
new cases were reported on Sunday
gave reason to expect much larger
quota yesterday, but the report turn
ed out to be in harmony with the low
figures of the past week
No news came yesterday of the rails
ing Of more guarantees than those
already announced.
