60 IN CATHEDRAL CRYPT

New Orleans, August 10--The arrange ments for the funeral of Archbishop Chapelle were changed again tonight, in view of the desire of the marine hospital service to avert the gathering of large crowd in the infected district in the very heart of which the cathedral stands.
 While the body reposed in state there tonight, the doors of the edifice were closed, and there was but the small guard of honor composed of priests. Solemn high mass will be sung tomorrow morning as was done today, and the remains will inn medately thereafter be inferred in the crypt of the cathedral It will not be generally known that the hour has been changed, so there will be but few pres ent at the final obsequies.
 Bishop Fitzgerald of Little Rock. the senior bishop of the province of New Orleans, cannot come here owing to the quarantine so he has appointed Auxiliary Bishop Rouxel of New Orleans admins trator The meeting of priests and bishops which will each select three names to be sent to the Pope from which to select a successor, will be deferred Indefinitely owing to the present difficulties of travel
 In endeavoring to trace the infection of the archbishop. 1t was learned today that his gardener had been i'll about two weeks ago with fever. and 1t is now as- stunned that 1t was the prevailing Illness As the man lived on the premises, 1t is easy to account for the infection.
 The following cablegram was received tonight:
 ct Father Scotti. Chancellor of the Arch
 diocese, New Orleans:
 "The holy father feels deeply the loss of Archbishop Cnapelle.
 .'CARDINAL MERRY DEL VAL"
 Would Be Element of Danger.
 pr. White said 1t was fact accepted by the scientists that yellow fever could be not transmitted by a corpse. but 1t Is considered that there would be some element of danger in attracting to the cathedral an immense assemblage of peo- pie from all sections of the city. The cathedral is located within the originally infected district, within stones throw of the French market, and there has been fever on all sides of 1t. Not all the stegomyia below Canal street have by any means been destroyed, and the mingling of 
 people from infected districts with those from non-infected quarters might result In a still wider diffusion of the present sickness.
 Today solemn requiem mass was cele- brated in honor of the dead archbishop. The services lasted for two hours with a large attendance. principally of people residing on the lower side of Canal street. Thirty priests participated and the church was profusely draped in white, black and purple. The body rested on pier in the main aisle and 1t was found that the re- mains were sufficiently preserved to per init the removal of the metallic covering. Many viewed the remains through the glass After the services ended and the congregation was dismissed further visits to the church were discouraged. During the day Cardinal Gibbons telegraph,d his condolences Many other messages came from all over the United States and from other parts of the world.
