NEW ORLEANS, Aug. S.--Although
there was large increase of new cases
and a considerable spread of infection,
there was diminution in the number
of fatalities today and the yellow fever
scare was regarded as having hope
full aspect. The authorities have not
concealed their expectation that for
some time there will be a daily average
of twenty to twenty-five cases and
proportional number of deaths, owing
to the extent of the main infected ter
ritory, and anything less than these fig
ures will be regarded as a distinct as
surance that the situation is still un-
der control. Carrying on scientifi,
fight of this kind is slow and tedious
work but the confidence of the author
tiles and the enthusiasm of the bulk of
the public show no impairment
Though the announcement that Gov
ernor Blanchard had actually ordered
the naval brigade under arms and dis
patched it in the mosquito fleet of the
Oyster commission to the louisiana
Mississippi boundary attracted atten-
ton, there is absolutely no apprehen-
sion that any serious collision will oc-
cur. Hope generally is expressed that
Governor Vardaman's instructions TO
his guards not to trespass upon Louis
lana territory will be rigidly observed.
To Repel Armed Invaders
In addition to putting the naval bri-
! gade on ships Governor Blanchard to-
day wired to the sheriffs and district
attorneys of st. Bernard and Orleans
parishes with view to invoking the
assistance of the civil authorities to
clear Louisiana waters of any armed
invaders.
With a view to inaugurating more

INSURANCE COMPANY COMES TO
Mr.. HOSTS TERMS.
LICENSE IS DULY ISSUED
Controversy Between Wisconsin Off
Ger and the Company Settled Off,
ciaIIy But Litigation Remains in
the Courts-Summoned East in Con-
nection With Libel Suits.
Madison, March 10.

+
The Prudential Insurance company
has come to the terms of Commissioner
Host.
A representative OF the company
called at the department of insurance
yesterday and left with the commits
sioner a report and all papers required
under the laws of this state to license
a life insurance company. The state
ment of the Prudential filed shows a
large reduction in the amount of funds
carried as deposits in banks and trust
companies. The representative OF the
company also furnished a statement
showing the financial condition of the
Fidelity Trust company, over which
a controversy arose a year ago.
When the license of the Prudential
expired, Commissioner Host refused to
renew it for the reason that the com
pany had $9,20OOOO invested in the FL
deity Trust company, an amount equal
to more than one-seventh OF the COM
pany's assets at that time, and about
100000 more than it's surplus. AT
that time the commissioner requested OF
the company a statement showing the
condition OF the Fidelity Trust COM
pany to enable him to properly pass
upon the statement of the former com.
| pany, as the laws of Wisconsin make
it the imperative duty of the commits
| sioner that he shall be satisfied thai
! the funds Of company are properly
and safely secured before he issues a
| license. At this same time the com
missioner of Massachusetts had con
troversy with the company on the same
proposition, which the company settled
| by adopting resolutions agreeing that
| at no time would the funds of the com.
pany deposited in banks and trust com
panies amount to more than a certain
percentage of it's surplus.
| After carefully scrutinizing the state
ment of the company and the state
ment of the Fidelity Trust company
! and being satisfied that the deposits OF
the Prudential in the Fidelity Trust
company had been reduced, Commits
siOner Host sent the following letter tC
the officers of the company:
"Gentlemen-The Prudential Insur
ance company has filed its annual
statement with the insurance depart
ment of wisconsin, which shows com
F.! pliance with the laws of this state and
! that it's deposits with banks and trust
companies have been reduced. The
representative of The company has also
submitted financial statement of the
the condition of the Fidelity Trust
company of Newark, New Jersey
! against which, no objection can be
raised by this department.
i whatever personal opinion the com
missioner of insurance may hold as tC
the ownership ana control of capital
stock of life insurance company, and
whatever personal differences and
controversies are pending between the
offers of the Prudential and the com
missioner, officially, there now exists

New Bill introduced.
The committee on manufacturers and
labor introduced new bill, to amend
chapter 399 of laws of 1908, relating
to improvements and repairs on the
capitol. There was some question
raised by Senator Hudnall that COM
mittee ought not to introduce Dill
not german to the committees busl-
ness, but Senators Burns and McGill1v-
ray were certain that no restriction OF
this kind rested on the committees.
Senator Frear facetiously referred to
the introduction of the KreutZer sub
etitute railroad rate commission bill.
The measure provides that the COVER
nor attorney general and five practl-
cal architects shall constitute the
building commission proposes an ap-
preparation of 100000 for plans and
100000 for repairs and Improvements
