Miss, says Mississippi will not establish quar- antine against Memphis unless confrma- tory evidence shall be furnished of Sur geon Whites report that a woman from Memphis developed a case of yellow fever in New Orleans on the day follow ing her arrival there.
 Secretary Hunter of the state board of health had received a vehement denial from pr. Heber Jones. who urges that experts be sent to Memphis at once to make a rigid investigation. Much weight is given this statement from the Mem phis health office. Several towns in the state, including Jackson, have put on local quarantines against Memphis. It is believed that the woman left Memphis August il instead of the 14th.

No body, not even the members of his fam fly, was aware of the Presidents inten- ton to make the descent in the Plunger except of course, Lieutenant Nelson One result of the secrecy maintained by the President was that the Plunger had practically the entire Long Island sound to herself. There was scarcely a vessel in sight, all pleasure craft having been driven to shelter by the severe storm
 Tomorrow at s:SO in the morning the Plungor will go out to the sound for an- other test trip. The President and Mrs. Roosevelt with a party of friends will witness the maneuvers of the vessel from the deck of the Sylph.

Loomis accept the post it is said that the president will later transfer him to one of the European posts. There is con siderable doubt here as to whether the senate will confirm Loomis nomination
 There Is certain to be strong opposition to him and the Bowen charges may have little more effect in the senate than they did on the secretary of war, who knowing that the President desired the white-washing of Loomis was even then compelled to characterize his conduct as '1ndiscreet,' about the greatest fault it would be possible to attach to diplo-

 The fact that the deaths per day do not exceed those in the comparatively slight visitation of the fever in 1897 and are in- significant in number In comparison with those of 1878 is still the basis for the widespread optimism that prevails A visit to the emergency hospital today also confirmed what has heretofore been said that certain proportion of the cases there as elsewhere in the city de- velop into malaria or dengue in the course of treatment.
 To Abandon Old Hospital.
 It was announced today by Dr. White that when the new emergency hospital to be located in McDonough school number IS Is in full running order the present hospital in Duman street, in the heart of the original infection, will be abandoned and all the patients removed to the new institution The work of conversion of the school into an infirmary was begun today The doors and windows will be screened with fine bronze wire to such perfection that 1t Is expected that mos quito bars over the patients will not be necessary. With double doors and other agencies it is proposed to make the build ing absolutely mosquito-proof. The new 
 one more completely ventilated and equipped with more thorough sanitary ar- engagements. The idea, however. of mak- ing it also detention camp for families who are not i'll has been abandoned.
 Two of the deaths during the past twenty-four hours illustrate the urgent need for prompt report If the patients are to have any chance of recovery. Both died through neglect. One, an Italian woman, was i'll in her homo without physician for five days before neighbors discovered the fact. Sha rsas beyond hti- man aid when the doctors found her. The other case was that of a Greek. He was found in an attic and stoutly objected to being reported as a yellow fever patient When the ambulance reached him he was in practically moribund condition.

Chance In chlnese ouestlon.

The Chinese boycott of AmerIcan goous had an evident effect on the discussions of the congress in reference to the topic of Chinese exclusion. Even as recently as five years ago, no man would have dared to stand up in any Pacific coast city and advocate the admission of the better class of Chinese to this country as several speakers did at the meeting just closed. 1t is probable that if the Washington au- thorities conclude treaty modifying the rigors of the present exclusion act, while still keeping out the cheapest and poorer class of coolie labor. adoption will not be violently opposed by veteran represen- tatives.
