NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.-Seven
deaths from yellow fever have &C.
turred here, a decrease of four from
yesterday. The city board of health
reported sixty-one new cases and four
new foci. Total cases to date, 1872;
total deaths to date, "a; new subfoci,
IL; total subfoci, Is. The number of
new cases showed a decrease, but the
deaths exceeded expectations. Still,
the health authorities confess to no
alarm.
Governor Blanchard has telegraphed
to the sheriffs of st. Bernard and Or
leans parishes invoking the assistance
of the civil authorities to clear Louisi-
ana waters of any armed invaders.
The governor has also issued orders
to the Louisiana troops to proceed to
capture the revenue cutters Grace and
Winona if they do not leave Louisiana
waters.
tricts seems to have grown more acute
with the discovery of cases at other
points. In this connection the doctors
here are disposed to question whether
all the eases that appear can properly
be traced to New Orleans.
A whole train load of passengers on
the Iron Mountain road has been held
up in Concordia parish, removed from
any habitation, for some time. The
passengers have been vigorous in their
telegraphic protests to the railroad
commission, declaring that they have
neither food nor water and that moth
ing has been done to relieve them
from a distressing situation. Efforts
are being made to move the train.
Monroe, La, with fever on three sides
of her. has put militia and armed cit
liens on every road leading into her
limits.
New Iberia, La, has put a curfew
law in effect. Columbus, Miss, has
decided to guard against infection by
the use of rifles. Many Of the smaller
towns are passing mosquito ordi-
nances.
Calcasu jarish, Louisiana, has noti-
fed the Southern Pacific that no trains
will be permitted to enter that parish.
Quarantine Against New Orleans.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. 4.-The
board of health declared strict quar-
antine against New Orleans and all
infected points. Inspectors will be
placed on all railroads at junction
points and redoubled precautions are
to be taken on the water front. There
has been no yellow fever here for
thirty years.

cial meeting between the Russian and
the Japanese plenipotentiaries tomor-
row, he proceeded with the distin-
guished members of his party to the
Russian cathedral at Ninety-seventh
street and Madison avenue New York,
and there went through the Russian
religious services of song and prayer.
After worship he, with Baron Rosen,
took the train for Oyster Bay.
M. Karostovetz, a high official Of the
Russian foreign Office, who is an Off
cial of NJ. Whites suit, declared that
the envoy is clothed with full powers
to conclude peace with the japanese
and that his decision will be binding
on the czar.
1t has been learned that the indem-
nifty which Japan will demand from
Russia as one of the conditions of
peace will far exceed 1000, 100000 yen,
the equivalent of 100000 900, a sum
which speculation in sorae quarters
has fixed upon.
No official announcement to this eff
feet has been made, but Mr.. Sato, Bar
on Komura's spokesman, intimatcd
this fact plainly in a conversation at
the Waldorf-Astoria, New York. He
estimates the daily cost of the wal to
Japan at $1,000,O00 and the period COW,
cred by the war up to date at 500
days.
1t is customary, Sato said, to ask
about so per cent more than the actual
cost of the conduct of operations.
Two quiet, earnest little men from
the far east stepped from the train
here and asked to be shown to the best
hotel. The visitors are ENJOYS of an
ancient race seeking on the eve of a
peace which is to decide the fate of
their country to enlist the sympathy
of the first great western nation that
signed a treaty of friendship and alli-
ance with them, on May %, 1882. The
ENJOYS are Koreans, p. X. Yoon and
Syngman Rhee, of Seoul, the capital.
They have come to present a memorial
to President Roosevelt from the people
of Korea.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor NEWS:

Editor EVENING NEWS: +.
Ever since the advent. of the eighteen
hour flyer between New--York and Chica-
go. l have been scanning the live papers
to find some ADLER writer than myself to
agitate this most important question in
railroad progress: HAS there been any
radical or commensurate preparation to
carry out this great stride in conveying
so many people at such a distance and in
SO short time with.any degree Of safe
ty2
do not think there has nor do l be lieve
there will be before some hundreds more
have been added to the already sad list
of those that have been sacrificed. ! will
say right here that the peculiar disaster
on the above occasion could hardly have
happened on the road of the competitive
flyer and the already unfortunate road
is said to have begun to change the
switches of it's whole line. This is only
a small part of what should be done.
In about half a century we have nearly
doubled The size of the engines also in
creased the weight of the rails for the
same length but We have vastly increased
the speed. The two most important ele
ments of safety have not been accom-
lished. the widening of the guage and
the deepening OF the flauges of the
wheels.
But says some "Economizer," that
will cost a big lot of money! l will ans
wer 1t will cost more In human life not
to do it. He may then say, 'the guage
is wide. Well If it is then it has been too
wide for many years when engines were
but little over half the height and cars
considerably lower and narrower than
they now are. He may then say, 1--WE will
have to make Il Gu rye ''flatter," II
SO then the engineer can see that much
farther ahead until we elimenate that
universal curse of railroading viz a
curve in q cut. 1t is food for reflection
when riding at a mile a minute to know
that u engine has.-a center of gravity
over six feet above the track which is
only four feet eight and a half inches
guage.
The writer about a year 9 rode from
Camden to Atlantic City at fully sixty
five miles an hour and it is done every
day in the sun mer, but it CAN be done
with more safety.

have not hesItated to say SO. We
have given the water board unstint-
ed praise until it began the juggling
with experts, and the like, over the
purchase of an ordinary pump. Then
there is that statement about the
water not being fit to drink and the
move to substitute ground storage
wells for the present artesian wells.
Doubtless some of the commission
.ers would rather not have had these
things published, but its the right
of the people to know what is going
on and that is what the NEWS is
for. Perhaps the officials do not like
it, but the people r satisfied and

A MATTER AMONG OURSELVES

-
The merchants committee which
has in hand the securing of a fran
chise for the Citizens Electric Light,
Heat & Power Company, met last
night and are determined more than
ever to push the matter to a final
issue. The merchants see that the
people are back of them in their
demand for relief from the Public
Service monopoly and they know
that If properly brought before the
Board of Aldermen the influence of
the public must be felt. Perth Am
boy is composed of a working class
of people, men who earn their liv-
ing by their labor and they know,
what it mean to make every dollar
count. To do this there must be
competition. The citizens of this
city resent the idea of a big, fat mo-
nopoly settling down in their midst
and eating up the dollars which
rightfully belong here. The mer-
chants are quite right in endeavor-
ing to obtain relief and the people
are watching their efforts. There
Is much interest in this fight on the
part of a local concern to obtain a
liberal franchise from a local gov
erning board. 1t is all a little matter
here among ourselves against a mo-
nopoly with headquarters in Newark,
which cares nothing for Perth Am
boy except the money 1t a get out
of 1t. Keep up the work, it is bound
to bear fruit.
