by the Marine Hospital Service here would be honorably discharged within the next week or ten days in view of the practical extinction of yellow fever in New Orleans.
 There seems to be a general desire tc have all the surgeons of the service remain here until the Presidents ar rival in order that they may partici- pate in a formal presentation of the Federal fever fighters to the President. an event which 1t has been arranged will take place at the City Hall, but after that time the expectation is that there will be a large withdrawal of service physicians from New Orleans. Dr. White vii be the last to leave. turning over the situation to the City Board of Health when he considers hts presence here no longer necessary.
 The Emergency Hospital was finally closed today. There were only six pa tients there this morning. three of whom were we'll enough to be dis charged later in the day. It was not considered necessary to maintain the institution any longer for the benefit of so small a number of patients and on the advice of pr. White 1t was closed. In the two Emergency Hospitals 353 pa- tients were handled, of whom eighty four died. The equipment will remain in the building which was formerly a public school, until the New orleans Terminal Company is ready to destroy the structure as a part of the site of the new terminals.
 The cold snap today was general in the State and advices received indicate that 1t will be followed by ioosening of the quarantines over a large part of Louisiana. At some points the mercury fell below the freezing point and frost was reported from many sections, kt.~ t~a xr<ir, S1o "a lal prevented its formation in other dis tricts.
 The most encouraging news of the day came from Lake Charles, where the weather was very cold and where it was said that the effect would be the early raising of quarantine. When pr. White journeyed out to Lake Charles, which had so completely bottled itself up that at one time it brought the Southern Pacific Railroad to a full halt. he was told ofFicially there that non- intercourse would be maintained against New Orleans until frost had killed the last case Of yellow fever. If Lake Charles acts within a week 1t Is likely that the whole southwestern sec tion of the State will be thrown open
 The removal of all auarantines by Memphis and Vicksburg and points In Alabama, with the promise that the res strictions of many of the Mississippi towns will go by the board, Is certain to have most stimulating effect on the trade of, New Orleans because it will permit travelling men to move with freedom.
 It is announced that the last of the theatres here. the only first-class house in the city, will open Sunday week, by which time it Is assured quarantines will be sufficiently relaxed to permit travelling companies to get out of the city without difficulty. The fifth the- atre will open tomorrow. All the houses are doing large business
 A thanksgiving service. marking the close of the yellow fever fight, Is be- ing arranged to take place at Trinity Church on Sunday. next Dr. Beverley Warner. who has rendered invaluable service at the head of the Citizens Volunteer Association. will preach the sermon on the occasion and t Is ex- pected that Dr. White and such of his. officials as may be in the city. many, of the city clergy and city officials will be present.
 Mayor Behrman today issued a proc famation in connection with the visit of President Roosevelt asking all bus iness houses to close during the pres- ence of the distinguished visitor here in order that the whole community might have the opportunity of mani festing It's appreciation of the service rendered by the President in the fever fight The Board of Trade. the stock exchange and the mechanics dealers and lumbermens' exchange have al- ready decided to suspend business on Thursday.
 The Confederates are to have n prominent part in the reception and the members of the various regiments which Louisiana sent to the front when the war with Spain was declared. are also to be given a position of im- portance in the line. Special excur- sions are being arranged in various parts of the State to reach here in time for the out-of door ceremonies.
