yellow fever has never developed there,
even in the most serious epidemics here.
Cases have been taken to the parish,
but whether the patient recovered or
did not, there has never been an ex-
tension of the infection. The reason for
the immunity of ST Tammany is that
the Stegornyia has never existed there.
There is a larger proportion of nom
foreign names in the list of new cases
than has yet appeared, and that is the
only phase of the report which causes
any uneasiness for it shows that the
disease is making its appearance among
the other elements of the community.
DR.. C. Milo Brady, the travelling in
spector of the state board of health,
reports another case in Jefferson parish,
opposite New Orleans. one mile below
Amesville.
The arbitrary action of the parish of
Rapid in stopping all traffic through
the parish has been amended and
through trains on the Texas & Pacific
will be allowed to continue. It is ex-
pected that Calcaseiu parish will also
rescind its action on the same line.
Acting Assistant Surgeon Maybe, of
the marine hospital service, reported by
wire from Echo, the Texas quarantine
station, that he had escorted twenty
people who had been in the Avondale
detention camp and turned them over
to the Texas authorities. They were
allowed to go right through.
The camp near Harahan, on the Illi-
nois Central. and Mississippi valley
roads has been named Camp Wyman,
and has been opened for travellers. The
camp at Fontainbeau will be ready by
Monday.

London, Aug. 5.-The Daily Tele-

Godzayadani, Manchuria, Aug. s.
Almost tropical rains are falling in
Manchuria, and the hilly regions are
impossible for trains of artillery.
Every mountain path is torrent and
every valley quagmire. Important
operations apparently will be imuos-

alienation of rains and fervid sun
shine has a depressing effect on the
health of the army.

AMERICA OIL MEETING.
Committee Appointed to Devise Ways
and Means for Conduct.

The adjourned meeting of the stock
holders of the America Oil and Gas
company was held in the Central Ma
tionaI bank building at the office of the
company this morning. Reports were
made by the committee appointed to
audit the books and accounts and by
the committee appointed to examine the
property and report upon its condition
and prospects.
The reports went into detail and
showed that with good and careful
management the property should pay
fair dividends; that under adverse con-
ditions with practically only one man
at the plant the company hal sold an
average of 200 barrels of oil for each
of the months of April, May and June
and that ], 1,430 barrels of OF were pump
ed during July in nineteen working
days.
Various recommendations were made
by each committee 1t developed that
the directors had repeatedly paid divi-
dends at times when these directors
now claim there were mary notes and
obligations against the company. 1t
also developed that there was question
about certain of the obligations whether
or not they were authorized. Two of
the stockholders present at the last an
nual meeting held in November stated
that at that time a report was made
to the stockholders that the company
was out of debt and did not owe a dol
lar.
The auditors report shows that a
large amount of this indebtedness had
been incurred previous to the last an
nual meeting. The report also showed
that Mr.. Devlin had received dividends
to the extent of $500 which had been
applied on accounts that he owed the
company.
After a rather full discussion of war;
ious matters, the following committee
was selected to devise ways and means
for the future conduct of affairs: NJ.
t. McGraw, r. B. Gilluly, John F. Al
ford, Albert Parker and Bennett r.
Wheeler.
The meeting adjourned to meet at 10
o'clock Thursday morning, August 10.

D0DGED THE LAW.
Canadian Soldiers Succeed in Entering
Massachusetts.

Boston, Aug. 5.--The Forty-tnird
Canadian regiment, Duke of Corn
wallis Own, arrived in this city today
from Ottawa on its way to Providence
where the regiment will participate in
the celebration of British day. The
statutory objection to any foreign body
of soldiers marching through the COM
monwealth bearing arms was overcome
by transferring the militiamen to spe-
cial trains on the elevated road. BY
this means the visitors reached the
south terminal where they boarded the
train for Providence. The regiment
was in command of Lieutenant Colonel
S. Maynard Rogers. The soldiers were
given an enthusiastic reception. At
the south station the Canadians were
joined by the British naval militia
veterans association. The regiment
will return to Boston this evening to
remain until Monday.
