PREDICTS A LONG FIGHT.
Hospital Service Says Yellow Fever
 Epidemic Will Be Hard to Eradicate

Washington. August 17. - Present conditions and probable future deysi. opments in the yellow fever epidemic at New Orleans are thus described in the weekly report of the public health and marine hospital service just is- sued:
 "A comprehensive understanding of the situation at New Orleans as bear ing on the possible outcome of the epidemic is important at the present time. It is evident that the infec- tion of the disease Is quite widespread and not confined. as was at first hoped. to few city blocks. There is no doubt that the fever existed in the city some time before it was reported.
 The local conditions are favorable for it's spread New Orleans Is fresh water city It has been officiai ly stated that there are 10000 cisterns in the city. The drainage and water supply are for from satisfactory. though new water supply. sewage and drainage systems are under construc- tion. While every effort is being made that science has suggested or experience dictated. it is not improb. able that the fight in the city of New Orleans may be long one. Indeed. with the active search which is going on for additional cases and foci of in. lection it is quite probable that the apparent situation will for time grow worse instead of better. To pre- vent the spread of infection to sur rounding states and restrict it within reasonable limits in the city would be alone a great measure of success. The effect of the work in the city under all the conditions so well known can not be accurately foretold, though it is hopefully considered"

MUzz a THE PRESS

The unseemit haste of the Wash
 ington state legislature to pass a press
 muzzling bill is indicative of the hold
 the professional lobbyists have on the
 law making power of the Evergreen
 state at the present time. There was
 no honest necessity for such a measure.
 The libel laws of the state of Washing
 ton were very stringent before the new
 law went into effect. Anewspaper was
 held responsible for any damage on ae-
 count of a Hbelous publication, and it
 was liable for exemplary damages Tn cases where malice was shown. The only protection the law afforded news paper was that malice would not be pre- sumed in case a retractiOn was made upon demand of the party claiming 10 be injured. The law also provided that retrsction would have 10 be complete in every detail and that it would have to be published in as prominent posi- tion, as large type and with as much display as characterized the publication of the libelous article, and it had to ap- pear three times in successive issues of the paper. Even then malice could be proved and the exemplary damages would follow. Certainly no honest man would want fairer law than that.
 The libel law that went into effect yesterday, upon receiving the sigma ture of Gov. Mead, which is designed to protect the lobby and those engaged in shady political transactions, from the lambas,iu gs of the Seattle Times, the Spokane Spokesman Re, few, the Walla Wslls Statesman and other papers, Is similar to a bill that was passed by those in possession of the legislative majority two years ago, but which was saved from becoming a law by the veto of Gov. Mcbride, whose message set out iu strong terms the advantages of a free press. Such libel laws as the new one in Washington and the one pass. q several years ago in Pennsylvania and more recently made more stringent can serve no laudable purpose. They CD only serve those engaged in work that cannot bear the light Of day. In those states they succeeded laws tnst afforded honest men all the protection they re- uuire or desire.

The Juneau Record-Miner publishes what purported to be a special dispatch from Washington to the effect that the nomination of Gov. Brady has been con- hrmed. The Juneau Daily Dispa'c oh also publishes a special that says he has not been confirmed. Neither dispatch was received through the regular news service to the Juneau papers and the Daily Alaskan. The last information that has been received through this service was contained in the dispatch that appeared in the Daily Alaskan last Saturday, which said Held had been given hearing by the committee, but that the opposition was losing heart and Brady would probably be confirmed st the nuIt executive session of the sem ate. When the confirmation takes place, an account of it will probably come to the Daily Alaskan as did an ac- count of the appointment, and as does sll the important news of the world.
