 The daily report continues .encourag- ing, and is especially so In the matter or the deaths and new foci. Of the new cases, only. six are above Canal Street. while the deaths are all from below Canal Two men, who were in the Avondale detention camp, Jean Bouse- goux and Archie Murray, were stricken with the fever early in the morning, and were immediately brought to the city and taken to the emergency hospi- tai. They came from the Orleans Ho- tel, a cheap caravansary in the center of the infected district ... Owing to the skepticism of some com muntties in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi to accept freight from New orleans. Surgeon White made the fol- lowing announcements: --.. .
 If any outside communities request 1t, will arrange to place on each freight car leaving New Orleans for those points an oficial statement to the enect that the car has been properly fumigated by. the United States Gov ernment and all mosquitoes that may have been in such cars have been killed after the car had been loaded and closed. This should satisfy even the most, skeptical."
 Tn view of the fact that the number of new points of infection in the par ishes has caused some rather heavy expenditures' by the State Board of Health, the, Secretary and Treasurer Dr. e. "Farrar Patton, went to Baton Rouge this morning to have a confer ence with the Governor over these ex- / penditures and to consider such as may be necessary in the immediate future: Ceuntry Reports.

 Dr. White has not yet heard from the Arkansas authorities in response to a telegram asking If the President would be allowed to enter Arkansas after leaving New Orleans on October 24th. If the Arkansas authorities do not con- sent, 1t is the Presidents expressed ln- tention to pay a special visit to Lou isiana and Arkansas later in the sea- son. after the quarantine panic has passed away. .
 People Returning Home.
 Increasing crowds on the streets here indicate the steady coming home of New OTleans people who went away on their summer vacations or who left the oity at time when 1t seemed probable there would be very serious epidemic here. Practically all fear of the fever has passed and the influx of natives promises to be uninterrupted from this time forward The heavy movement of freight of. all kinds through the streets also points to the fact that quaran- tines are being lifted and that business is increasing. News of modified quar- antines is being received daily and there Is little doubt that the scare is passing in the country districts and that normal business will be resumed much earlier than was the case in 1897 and 1898.
 Dr. Whites assurance to the citizens committee that all danger will have passed before the date set for the Pres idents arrival and that the party may come to New Orleans and travel over the State without risk shows the con ndence entertained by the Federal au- thorities that henceforth there will be rapid improvement in conditions.
 pr. Whit has called for complete report of every actual case and every suspicious case under observation up to the close of business tomorrow with a list of all houses still under obser- vation from the fifteenth to the thir- tisth day. There has been heavy elimination of foci. many of the eases under treatment being in houses where the fever has prevailed for some time.
 Report Encouraging.
 Todays report was again encourag- ing both as to new cases and deaths. Dr. White. however. Is not making comparisons from day to day but from week to week. Last week there were 2s5 cases, 24 deaths and 24i discharged. The previous week there were 267 cases, 25 deaths and 2ss discharges. The diff ference was not very great when it is considered how much more rigid were the reports of cases following the f1n ing of Dr. Berge There, were showers throughout today and the temperature was appreciably lower.
