NEW ORLEANS SITUATION.

Louisiana Parishes and Towns Want
to Raise Quarantine October 13.
New Orleans, Oct. 4.-To business
men, the most encouraging feature of
the yellow fever situation is the dispo-
sition that is being manifested by the
parishes and towns in Louisiana, to
raise the Quarantine about October 1s.
Today was another day Of gloomy
weather, and light showers, but the
fever situation has lost whatever
alarming features it may have pos
sessed. For the fifth day there has not
been a single case reported from the
originally infected region, and for sew
eral days no deaths have occurred in
the emergency hospital. while the
cases under treatment there have
dropped to thirty eight, nearly all OF
the patients doing well. Above Canal
street, old cases are recovering more
numerously than new cases are being

No one has claimed but that the d.

the governor misrepresented Shaw
then the Capital did. The Capital was
not the only authority to misrepresent
the secretary, however, for the head
lines of the Register and Leader of
May 27 show that 1t understood Shaw
to say about the same that Lafe Young
did. The headlines OF the Register of
that date, on the first page, over the
story Of Shaw's address. are: why

retary of the Treasury Shaw Talks-of
Reciprocity; Addressed Bankers Club;
Said France Wanted to Give Us Moth

that with the multiplicity of authorities
as to what the secretary said 1t Is up to
him rather than to the governor or Lafe
Young either.
1t is quite likely that II the auditors
and insurance commissioners of the

would give the information to the pub
lie there would be no investigation
from the western states but the I'M

that the investigation has already un-
covered more than the officials at first
intended that it should However, 1t
is believed that they will stop short OF
giving it all to the public, since the
more disclosures, the more pressure to
hush the thing up. The point with the
western states that are now conduct
ing the Investigation is to determine
what the real condition is and then
meet and determine II possible some
remedy Of preventing such gross mis-
use Of the money belonging to the pol
