Archbishop of the Catholic Do
cese of New Orleans Is
Plague Victim.
INLAND QUARANTINE
SITUATION SERIOUS
Militia May Be Called Out to
Compel Parishes to Tighten
Burden,

New Orleans died this afternoon of vel
low fever
The archbishop illness was directly
traceable to his work among his fever
stricken pensioners in the foreign
quarter, for he had been working daily
among the stricken Italians. He had
an influence over them enjoyed by no
one else, and in that was able to assist
the medical corps in an unbounded
measure.
Archbishop Placidus L. Chapelle was
appointed to the arch see of New Or
leans largely thru the influence of Pres
ldent Faure of France.
Had he, as delegate, succeeded in his
negotiations with the military govern
ments of Cuba and/the Philippines, his
reward would doubtless have been the
red hat of cardinal.
The archbishop came into worldwide
prominence by his vigorous protests to
the Philippine commissioners against
the continued holding by the govern
ment of the College Of San Jose, in
Manila
Situation More Serious.
The situation growing out of the
onerous quarantine in Louisiana is
| daily growing more serious. The state
board claims the parishes have exceed
| ed their authority in imposing regula-
tions more stringent than provided by
the state authorities, and they have
called upon the various localities in a
proclamation to modify their restric-
tions. .H-.%
Should a refusal be forthcoming, it
is the intention of the state board to
enforce the state regulations governing
guarantees with civil forces and in
of Il %lo slab MI ovri-
ties, Governor Blanchard will be re-
quested to send the militia to enfore
the state board IS mandate. The mill
tia will, it is understood, be put aboard
trains and steamboats, to protect trav-
elers from >ejectment and detention and
. preventing the stopping Of freight.
This, it is thought, will start the move
ment of mails and freight to all points
in Louisiana, some of which have been
without train for eight days.

trained yellow-fever nurses left here to-

to work to give New Orleans a thort
ons were employed in carrying off til,
refuse.
!. -. immigration Stopped.
All foreign immigration into New
Orleans is to be stopped until after tn,
> fever is stamped out. Large number
of Italian immigrants were expected
, here in September and October, but a.
,, the bringing in Of thousands Of unac
climated persons would be simply tt
add fresh material for the fever, tn,
immigrant bureau will arrange for tn
diversion of the ships to other port
unless by that time there is no longe
a trace of the disease here.

! who can stand hard work and who will
do their tasks efficiently.
