Many Boats Armed.

New Orleans. La, Aug. 2.-The
relations between the Louisiana and
Mississippi authorities have reached
an acute stage. and from the indica
tions Il will change from interviews
about the concealment OF yellow fe-
yer eases to much more serious
matter.
The Mississippi authorities have
FIVE armed boats. patrollng the coast
to prevent fishermen from breaking
through the quarantine lines.
These vessels are also assisted by
:he United States revenue cutter
Winona. The Mississippi boats will
not allow any Louisiana fishermen,
even TO enter The Mississippi sound,
east of st. Joe light. But from the
reports received here II appears that
one of these patrol boats came to
Lake Korgne. which is distinctly
Louisiana territory. and one report
says Il came up to the mouth of Lake
Borgne canal, which extends from
the lake to the Mississippi river.
The naval brigade is supplied With
a light draught boat armed with II
Howitzer or two and manned by off,
GERS from the brigade and will be
sent out to prevent any further ag-
gression.
The state board of health received
Official notice of the appearance of
the fever in three other parishes yes
terday. The health authorities ex-
hibited no concern over the situation
contending that with the accumula-
tion of cases there must be expected
an increase in fatalities to maintain
the average death rate of the fever.
Business interests continue to ex-
ert every effort to secure a modifica-
tion of the quarantine regulations
which have had the effect of bottling
up the city commercially.
Some sensational statements have
gone out through private letters and
in special dispatches. giving the i'm
preston that the full extent of the
situation here is not being made pub
lie. That is stated to be in no sense
a fact. Every doctor is under pledge
TO report all cases immediately ana
there is no desire to misrepresent the
daily statement of cases or deaths.

This il Amount Paid BY New
York Syndicate.
Takes Over $4,000 Acres of Good
Coal Lands In This Part Of
the State.
HAS MADE FINE CONTRACTS

New York, Aug. 2.-It is announc-
ed today that the amount invested by
the North American company in the
purchase of $4,000 acres of coal
lands in Western Kentucky is $780,
900. For this amount, the North
American company will secure the
entire capital stock of the West Ken
lucky Coal company, organized to
assume ownership of the property.
In addition to the capital stock, there
will be thirty year per cent. bond
issue of considerably more than the
amount of the capital stock. 1t is
understood that arrangements have
already been completed for the sale
of the bonds to certain banking in
terests closely identified with the
North American company. There
may possibly be a public offering of
the bonds later, but this matter has
not yet been decided upon.
The contracts entered into be-
tween the West Kentucky Coal COM
pany and the Laclede Gas Light COM
pany, the Union Electric Light and
Power company, and the United
Railways company, of st. Louis, all
properties controlled by the North
American company will extend for
a period of thirty years. These con-
tracts provide for the purchase cot
all coal supplies needed by the three
latter concerns from the West Ken
tucky Coal company at a price lower
than they are now able to secure
coal, and at the same time at such
a figure as will afford a handsome
profit to the coal company.

BIG IRRIGATION SCHEME.
II WIN IrriEAte Hair a Million Acres in

II WIN IrrigAte Hair n Million Acres in
Montana and Cost SIO, ZOO, 900.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Admin
istration has approved Of a big irrigation
scheme Of the United States reclamation
service. The waters Of the Milk River,
a stream which rises in Montana, flow
across the international border line and
for some miles through Canada before re-
turning to the United States. The Cana
dams have been anxious TO divert the water
Of this river for irrigation purposes in their
own territory. The big scheme which has
been approved contemplates diverting 20
per cent. Of the water Of the river from its
channel through canals in Montana, re-
tanning the water in Montana and also
storing food water in st. Mary Lake, In
that State. The project is TO irTigate over
half a million acres Of arid OF semi-arid
lands In Montana, and when completed IL
will cost tiO,OO0OOO.
Efforts have been made TO have some
action taken by the Canadian Government,
which has been claiming the right 70 the
water Of the portion of the river flowing
Though Canada, but the Administration
finally became impatient at CsBada's mac
ton, though her officials continued 70 indulge
In threats, and decided to have the works
on the United States side Of the border
line completed and In operation first. They
will leave 90 per cent. Of the water OF the
natural flow Of the river to the Canadians
for that portion Of 1t flowing through
Canada.
Many petitions have been received at
the Department and by the President bear
ing on the situation, and after conference
with the President Secretary Hitchcock
has instructed Director Wolcott of the
Geological Survey to take immediate steps
TO carry into effect the plans Of the reclama-
ton service for storing floods i'm St Mary
Lake, diverting the water Of ST. Mary's
River over into the head Of Milk River and
ultimately across the headwaters of Mix
River into the MRTias, and again out Of the
MaTias back into Milk River in Montana
thus creating great artificially regulated
system OF water supply south Of the inter-
ational bound 3ry.
1t is indicated that construction will be
begun this season on the diversion Of the
st, Mary's River into the headwaters of
Milk River. allowing the water TO flow for
a time through Canada back into the United
States.

Senator Henry J. CoggeshaI Of Oneida
was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday
Some Of the reporters asked him IL his visit

tor said IL hadn't.

committee was another. When the Page
resolution came up offered an amend
ment that IL should include any place in
the State making a complaint Of exorbl-
tant gas bills, but that was ruled out. The
committee got $4,000 for expenses. Every
body knows what that1l mean. That will
just about pay Mr. Hughes's fee. The
committee will probably come back and
ask for $4,000 before they get through.
And all IL means is a fight between the local

Senator Plat said at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel yesterday that he would remain
In town until April 1, when he will take up
his residence for the summer and fall az
his country home at Highland Mills. A
report has been circulated both at Albany
and In New York city within the last few

town steps would DO taken to call the Re-
publican State committee together TO
designate william Barnes, Jr., Of Albany
chairman Of the executive committee Of
the State committee. as the representative
Of the Republican organization Of the State
at Albany. Senator Plat said that he had
heard nothing Of such a report and that
he didn't believe any such meeting OF the
State committee would be held for the pur-
pose mentioned or any other purpose con-
corning legislation at Albany.
The Senator said that he had had one
or two COMMUNICATIONS with Gov Hig-
gins concerning the situation at Albany
and that the Governor appeared TO be
thoroughly satisfied with the situation.

forceful Senators, speaking Of the Albany
