New Orleans, Oct. 2.-Up to noon to-
day there were four new cases of yel.
low fever and two deaths.

| New Orleans, Oct 2.-Showers and
warm weather again prevailed here to-
day with little change in the fever sit
uation. The early reports from phys
clans and inspectors indicated a mos
| crate record of new cases of fever. The
authorities have taken no steps to
eliminate from the official cases which
develop into other sickness than yell
bw fever.
There is an appreciable increase in
the crowds on the streets in the bust
ness district, pointing to the steady
| return of absentees
While the opening of October finds
yellow fever still existing in New Or
leans, 1t is now so certainly being
wiped out, that the authoroties are su-
premely confident that with-the pass
ing of the month not a vesige Of the
sickness will remain.
The record for the week ending on
Saturday was the best since Aug /,
with total of 1873 cases and % deaths
against 261 cases and 81 deaths the
preceding week. The week during
August II, Alb cases and so deaths and
the week ending August 10, 427 cases
and so Deaths These figures show
the steady rapid decline of the disease.
DR.. White is still out in the coun-
try He has visited half a dozen
parishes and seen the healt hauthor-
tiles and leading citizens of each. He
has promised hearty cooperation in
the effort to bring into the fields %
the laborers that are needed to han
die the crops. While all the parish
es have not agreed to the complete
lifting of guarantees on the 18th of
October, some of them have indicated
their willingness to do so, and if the
ratio of improvement is maintained
here it is expected by that time that
there will be littl eresriction against
communication
In the country parishes increased
interest is being shown in the fighl
here in view of the possibility that
President Roosevelt will visit New Or
leans. There are people throughout
the state who are anxious to come here
and assist in giving the president
typical Louisiana welcome, and if by
the goth conditions here reach a point
where there will be only sporadic cases
1t is not improbable that there will be
modification of the quarantines to
the extent of letting those who would
like to participate in the reception
come to the city.
Conditions in the state show gener-
al improvement. DR.. White has been
asked to send one of the service sur
geOns down Bayou LaFOurche as far
LeeVille to inspect the general situa-
ton in that neighborhood, with a view
to preventing a further spread of the
disease, which is now under control
the Patterson situation is improving
and similar reports come from every
other part of the state. Except at Ken
ner, which is just beyond the limits of
New Orleans, there was not a single
death in the country districts of Louis
lana
The public schools opened here to-
day with large enrolment of pupils
several hundred children having re-
turned to New Orleans from the sur
rounding country at the week end on
the announcement that the school term
would begin today.
