 New cases, 42: total cases to date, S46; deaths to-day. 6. Total deaths to date, 6S New foci, 4; total foci to date. 30.
 The days record shows 8 continued improvement so far as the number of new foei is concerned and with no sec- ondary infection from any of the exist ing foci, the general situation is re- garded as hopeful The large number of new cases, the largest yet reported in a single day, shows that the tertia- ry infection among the panic stricken people in the original district is appear ing which was to be expected. One of the new cases is on Jackson avenue in the residence. district and the victim has returned recently to the city from his summer home on the coast.
 There was the usual large preponder- ence of Italian names in the list both of new cases and deaths. In spite of the increased mortality, the health authori- ties exhibited no concern over the sit uation, eontending that with the accu- mutation of cases there must be expect ed an increase in fatalities to maintain the average death rate of the fever It is still possible to trace all the new cases that are appearing to the original a center. Meantime the health authori- ties and citizens are making arrange ments to give the results of their ob- servations of the centers outside of the EsJss .saA
 declared that the female stegomyia. can only receive the poison of a yellow fever patient into her system during the first three days illness and that she is unable to communicate it until ten or twelve days thereafter. In, say from seventeen to twenty days, it will become evident whether or not there is to be spread from any of the outlying centers and the health authorities will by the beginning of next week, include in their daily tables besides the appear ance of new centers, the disappearance of existing centers from which there has been no secondary infection. On the results of these observations they will be able to determine whether, as they hope now, they can control the disease and ultimately subdue it.
 An ordinance was introduced in the city council tonight providing that all vacant lots and other places where wa- ter stands for more than six hours, shall be filled to the grade required by the city engineers surveys.

SYSTEMATIC TORTURE.
Chicago Labor sIuggers Believed to Maintain pIace for It.

MulnNhh SlhCGs GOE AAs
 Chicago, Aug. 1.--Apparent evidence that labor sluggers maintain in Chicago a place where systematic torture is meted to those who have incurred the displeasure Of the sluggers has just come to light ir the strange case of William H. Wilder. Wilder was for merly an army officer and at the time
 of the recent teamsters' strike was
 claim agent for a Chicago package ex- press company. He disappeared July
 6, was held captive for three weeks and was then set at liberty, half starved and so dazed that he has not been able to give a coherent account of his cap
 tivity. He was found by a friend wan dering ainnlessly about near the Union station at Canal and Adams streets and was taken to his home at Downers Grove. Physicians pronounce his phy
 sical and mental condition such that he may not recover. Much of the time he raves wildly, and, though still under torture, hegs for mercy. Marks all over his body show that ht had been
 bound with heavy cords. Over hum
 dred dollars he is known to have had in his possession is gone.
 Wilder is an Englishman who saw service in the American army in Cuba and the Philippines, and held a con- mission as a second lieutenant in the regular army. He is bold, outspoken fellow of thirty-seven, who gloried in his physical ability to take care of him. self, and defied pickets or sluggers to
 intimidate him.
