New London, Aug. 1S.-The cruising members of the N. Y. Yacht club, whose boats are anchored in the harbor here, spent a gloomy day to-day on account of the unfavorable weather, especially in the afternoon when it rained hard. With the rain came a strong wind, but none of the yachts was caught una awares, and there was no accident. The storm, which, was severe at other points along the coast, passed to the north ot this place, New London get ting the flag end. In the morning sev- eral of the smaller boats left their an- chorage but there was not a great deal of activity among the fleet. Many of the yachtsmen went ashore and the Pequot was a lively place.
 About o'clock tomorrow morning the fleet will proceed to Newport, the run being about forty miles.

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
FIFTY NEW CASES AND TWILTE DEATHS YESTERDAY.

Nineteen Deaths Reported Late in the
 Day Will Figure in To-dny's Report
 Cashier of Peoples Bank and n
 Former state Legislator Among the
 New Cases-Dr. White Makes Change
 in His Organization.
 New Orleans, Aug. 13 Following is the official yellow fever record up to $ p. m. to-day. New cases to-day, 5O; total cases to date, 963; deaths to-day, 12 total deaths to date, 154; new dis ease centers discovered to-day, IA; total disease centers to-day, POP. Cases .un- der treatment, S43.
 The heavy increase in the number of yellow fever cases which began four or five days ago is beginning to show in the death list which can be expected to grow. steadily for the next few days. The number of new cases to-day seems small in comparison with yesterdays. record, but it is really nineteen short as that number of cases were turned in by an inspector just after the hour for closing the report. These will figure in to-morrow's report.
 Among the cases to-day is Louis Gu cullu, jr., cashier of the Peoples bank. who resides far out in North Johnson street. Another case is Maurice Ken. ney, former councilman and former member of the legislature. Two of Kenney's daughters were stricken yes- terday. Only five of the now fever cen ters are above Canal street. Surgeon White to-day made a change in his or ganization by which he hopes to &C., complish results much quicker The Immigration and screening work was all done by a central department under Dr. Gessner, which sent squads out on notification of cases by physicians. This afternoon Dr. White assembled all of his subordinates in conference and de- cided to place the screening and fumi- gating work under the several district headquarters. %
 Assistant Surgeon Corput has just commenced thorough investigation of conditions in Algiers, that part of New Orleans on the west bank of the Missis- l sippi river. He reported to-day that he had found not a single suspicious case, which indicates that the prompt steps taken to screen and fumigate the orig inal eases have been effective in pre- venting a spread. The great cause of the spread has been the conoealment of cases and the change of residence of people who have been infected.
 Physicians who have failed to report cases that are discovered are given an opportunity to explain the omission, but a second offense will result in prosecu- tion under the law. This has also brought out a large number of cases that were under cover. t=: Paterson, the largest center of infec- tion outside of the city, reports three new cases to-day and the first death The victim is a young lady. She died this morning, and this has naturally depressed the spirits of the people. They have had thirty-nin cases there so far. i.

 Man Among the Latter.
 Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-A fast eastbound passenger train on the Nickle Plate road collided with west bound freight train early to-day at Kishman, O., near Vermillion, resulting in the death of twelve persons, while at least twenty five others were injured, some of whom will probably die.
 The wreck, according to the officials of the company was due to misunder- standing of orders, or neglect to obey them on the part of the crew of the freight train.
 The dead: Charles W. Poole, engin- eer of passenger train, sixty years old, Connaut, O.; Joseph Alexander, twen- ty-four years old, Newark, N. J.; Frank Weaver, thirty-five years old, Findlay, O.; nine Italian laborers.
 The injured include: John W. Long, Cleveland, right leg broken; Richard A, son of John w. Long, right leg am- putated, may die; Joseph Dumont, two ribs broken, back cut and internal in- juries, may die; Roy Winch, Findlay O.; Louis Reinboldt, Bascom, O., com pound fracture left leg, foot crushed and body bruised; E. E. OHara, Find lay, O., right leg amputated; John w. Murphy, West Haven, Conn.,, right foot bruised and body lascerated; Floyd Trumer, Ada, O., left leg broken and fact badly cut; John Dexter, Tift1n, O., three ribs broken; Frank Phillips Findlay, O., left shoulder broken; Ve- roma Leonardo two ribs broken.
 Aside from the engineer, the men killed on the passenger train were all riding in the smoking car at the head of the train and were mostly foreign laborers in the employ of the Standard Oil company, on their way from Fort Seneca, O., to Brookfield, o. Engineer Poole, of the passenger train, was kill- l Gu at HIS pOSI w llliE U , HIS NS ASstNh ACA the air brake, after seeing the headlight of the freight engine. His fireman, Haefner, saved himself by jumping. The high speed of the passenger train threw it's locomotive and first three coaches over on the engine of the freight train, telescoping the cmoker and the car following, The forward cars of the freight train were splinter ed to fragments.
 Of the passengers in the smoker none escaped injury.
 Fortunately there was no fire. but the heavy timbers of the wrecked cars pinioned down many and prevented them from getting out until assistance arrived. ..
 As soon as possible after the wreck occurred doctors were sent on a special train to the scene from Larain. The injured were hurried to Lorain and l placed in the hospital there. The dead were conveyed to a morgue at Lorain awaiting Identification and disposition,

 Death-Lnttcr Suffers Fracture of

 Madison, Aug. 1S.-While returning from a dance early this morning car- riage, in which were Miss Irma Scran- ton, the daughter of J. Samuel Scran- ton; Charles Wykoff. and M. H. Fran eis, was struck by the. "Cannonball' freight train going east, and all the oc- cupants were more or less injured. Thatr some one was not killed is con- sidered miraculous, as the wagon was demolished by the fast-moving locomo- tive. Francis, who was driving the wagon, thought he could cross the track at Scranton's crossing before the train reached there, but as he was about to do so he saw his mistake and attempted to pull the horse about. Before he could do it the train was on him. Miss Scranton jumped as she saw the ap- preaching engine and cleared the east bound track in front of the locomotive, escaping with a few slight bruises. Francis was hurled several yards, frac- turing his collarbone and dislocating his shoulder. He was picked up uncon- scious and taken to the home of Miss Scranton, where he recovered con- sciousness. His injuries will not prove fatal Wykoff was somewhat injured and was taken aboard the train to Clin- ton, his home.

NORWEGIAN PEOPLE A
 UNIT FOR DISSOLUTION
RESULT OF THE REFERENDUM
 TAKEN YESTERDAY.

Of 45O,OOO Voters 32O,O0O Cast Ballots
 Returns at Midnight Showed That
 Only About One Person in Every
 Three thousand Voted Against sepa-
 ration from sweden--women Who
 Could Not Vote signed Petitions.
 Christiania, Aug. 1S.-The Norwegian people, in a referendum taken to-day, pronounced in favor of the dissolution of the union with Sweden with remark able though not unexpected unanimity. Of 450, 900 voters 32O,0OO cast ballots.
 While the full result will not be known for some hours, up to midnight returns showed that about one person in three thousand voted against the dissolution. The difference between the total number of voters and the number of votes. cast is attributable to absen- tees, such as sailors abroad and others who are out of the country at present. . The weather was favorable and there were. scenes of the greatest enthusiasm everywhere. Thousands of women who did not have the right of franchise signed petitions i'll the streets endors- ing the dissolution. In Christiania and other cities the total population turned out, every one wearing long streamers of the national colors and pictures of Premier Michelsen.
 One of the members of the cabinet said to the Associated Press: "The re- suit surpasses the most sanguine ex- pectations. The next official steps will be taken after the storthing meets on August 21, when the result of the ple- biscite will be communicated to Sweden through the Swedish cabinet and the riksdag. The storthing will repeat the request that the riksdag declare the riksakt imperative and the union dis solved The storthing will also express a willingness to negotiate concerning the details of the dissolution. It is the earnest desire of Norway to conclude the dissolution amicably. Norway will never retract, but everything will be done to meet the wishes of Sweden in other directions. If peace depends up- on abolishing the forts they will be abolished. Norway must remain a monarchy; the people do not desire 8 republic
 At midnight reports from 176 places showed a vote of '95,935 for 37 against dissolution.
