Furthermore, the name of neutrality
to each side which the Chinese have

Streets and Buildings to Settle.
Chicago, Sept 13.-The subways OF
the Illinois Tunnel company was found
to be the cause of the settling of the
streets and several large buildings in
the down town district. This conclu-
sion is set forth by the city's civil en-
gineer in supplemental report
made yesterday. The engineer says in
four Instances of settlement, directly
traceable to the undermining of the
streets by the tunnel company ana de-
clare that it is impossible to prevent
settlement of the ground and founda.
tions of the large structures even with
improved and safer methods.
The next important finding of the
commission is that it is not feasible
to make any plan that can be safely
followed for all connections.
Another finding is that it is not
practicable to make connections under
air pressure, as it would not be suf.
fcient to sustain the pressure of the
foundations. It is found that because
of the. danger to the buildings AMI
streets the tunnel company practically
has ceased making connections and
many of the connections which were
started have been abandoned.
No damage was found as a result
of work on the main line tunnels.

New Orleans, Sept. 13.-In spite OF
forecast of showers the weather here
today was clear ani sunshiny The
fever situation showed little change
with no prospect from the overnight
reports of any material increase in the
list of deaths.
A meeting of the new public health
association is to be held on Friday
evening. Invitations have been tent
to all organized bodies in the city
including the trades and labor council
to send representatives. The object
of the promoters of the organization
is to give it the widest possible scope
with a view to enlarging its influence
for good.
In spite of the fever, the government
report of postoffice receipts here shows
an increase of several thousands for
August over the same month last year.
Advices today say that three cases at
Hamburg, Miss, have been officially
announced to be yellow fever.
Ald Sent Different owns.
Advices to the state board of health
are that Drs. Chassaignac, Anderson,
en- trained nurses, are Row on the
ground at Tallulah and an immediate
improvement in conditions are expect
ed there. DR.. Won Esdorf, reported
to President Souchon that he would re
main for several days to organize the
work of sanitation beginning with Gen
eral fumigation and oiling today. He
said that about every square in the
town is infected The better news
as a rule, comes from the country
though it is occasionally mixed with in
formation of panicky conditions in
some of the nOn-infected points. AS an
instance, Christie ana Lowe, govern
ment contractors, have a brush camp
on the river in Tensas parish and some
of their labOrers are i'll with ma
laria and other diseases. The firm
wired the health officer of Tensas ask
ing permission to send physician and
medical supplies The answer was a
prompt refusal with a suggestion that
the sick people be carried to New Or
leans. On the other hand there are
additional reports of modified quar-
antines. Hazelhurst, Miss, for instance,
has removed all restrictions against
freight from here.
Governor Blanchard at the request of
the commercial community of the state
capital, has asked the assistance of
DR. White in arranging for the disin-
fection of freight at Baton Rouge so
that it may be sent the surrounding
country, and it is believed that with
Baton Rouge exerting herself, there
will be further opening up of traffic
out of here
How rapidly the fever infection can
be spread is indicated by a report from
Dr. Richard in the Barataria country.
On Aug. 81 an oil boat from the in.
fected district in New Orleans reached
the bayou with Is passengers which
1t distributed at different points. Seven
OF the fifteen developed yellow fever.
DR.. Richard says he can handle and
stamp out the fever on the Bayou if all
further intercourse is prevented.
