Eeyord Authorizations.

New York.-The boycott of Amer
lean trade has spread far beyond the
anticipations Of its early supporters,
says Shanhai dispatch to the Times.
It is now regarded with serious fear
by the Chamber Of Commerce, which
sees it In bad influence on foreign
trade generally. The demands of the
agitators include the reputation Of
forward contracts for American
goods, which, it is calculated, will af-
feet prominent native dealers heavily
involved In such transactions. The
campaign is being fostered by meet
ings, leaflets and unanimous native
pressure. The official publication of
Presidents Roosevelt s message In
suring the Chinese travellers and stu
dents admission to America courteous
treatment has been without effect. A
significant feature Of the movement is

An increase in the fever is reported
from the sugar parishes, from the
town Of Patterson and Bon Ami as
we'll as from TaIlulah, but no especial
uneasiness is felt in any the places as
it is thought all those who had the
chance of infection have had time TO

Among the we'll known citizens who
are stricken is Louis Cucullu, cashier
OF the Peoples Bank. Mr.. Cucullu is
man who centers a wide circle of
friends In the business world and his
case, while not considered virulent, il
watched with anxious interest.
The government officials have spent
busy day taking no rest, out prose
cutting their arduous work with little
thought Of WEAKNESS. Port Assistant
Surgeon H. G. Ebert arrived today
and Will throw himself into the work
before him.
The street cleaning force stopped
for neither lunching or rest, but have
kept hard at work, sweeping, spraying
oil, sprinkling lime and disinfectants.
The household has known no change
from the week day service, and the
thorough cleaning begun has been con-
tinued. Never in ell It's history from
the ancient days to the present hour,
has this city had such thorough
stroke of cleanliness.
The streets are shorn of their usual
crowds. canal street is quiet and
wears q deserted look, the hotel cor
ridors resound with the echo Of the
occasional foot fall while clerks and
and "bell hoppers, are literally idle
and listless. The churches today have
drawn but meagre congregations,
though the most OF them Prostestants
and Catholics, special services have
been held Many tender references
were made to the death Of Archbishop
Chappelle, and special prayers have
been offered In behalf Of the whole
community.
The officials speak most encourag-
ingly, and believe Che crisis is abort
passed. Reports come today Of slight
spread Of the fever in the country sur
rounding the city. This Is almost 9
matter of expectation, especially
through the bayou country with its
paucity Of inhabitants who are mol
equipped 10 fight the scourge scien-
tifically, and even with the means a,
hand are either needless or incapable
| of practical and efficient work.
While a great many. citizens have
left New Orleans the city is not BY
any meaCs emptaed, and nothing like
a panic obtains. The colored popula
ton have shown great activity IN tht
cleaning Of their homes and yards vel
as themselves, and soaps, notwith
standing our several factories is at ,
premium.
Business is practically at stant

scars up into fabulous sum. S.houl(
the fever be stamped out instanter
the loss to our business world coult
not be made up for year and halt
